JonN FORSYTH oLAnIokINe FOR WAR.

'OhN fuhol III CLAMOhlN6 Fuh WAX.
Hon. John Forsyth. the recent commissioner
to Washington, camors fercely for an invasion
Of the North. Ills paper the Mobile Register,
says;
Tho cry of the North is for war; War to
save The Union, to defend tho United States flag,
"io SHOW that VIC have Government" These
nre the preteuces of sheer bypocr sy. They
are the patriotic gloss given to u false cause
The cement that unites the North is rage ut the
Inevitable mischief that has been done to north
cru property by the loss Of the trade and tribute
oil Ten, perhaps twelve, of the richest aud most
productive States of the late Union,
II they want war, give 1t to them to their
hearts coutent-i0 the knife and the hlt. Give
them battle every morning ami every evening
whenever we eau marshal force foI the fight
Nor should we stop to receive H. 1t ou.ht to he
sought for aud invited. Nor whit 10 drive them
from Confederate soil, but force the war to their
own borders. We hold that the enemy should
be driven from Washington--not because we want
/ Washington, but because il is in slave State,
and because our brethren in Maryland should be
released from the iron heel Of military power
/ that Is upon their necks Whose blood does not
boil to read of the proud men of Maryland over
run nhd subdued by the outcas,s VI Massachu-
sets under the lead Of that scounlrel, General
lWiier, who played his part in the political dis
tnrpanees that were the immediate enuse of this
ievolutOny Maryland should be freed Mt all
hazards and tho enemy driven beyond the Sus-
quchanna.
Defensive nggressions is the Southern policy
IN this wnr. The surest and the safest way IL
defend our homes is to meet The enemy at a dis
lance from them-to keep away the havoc aud
jevasiation OF conflict from our women and
children az far as possible. The North has un
dtrnken to conquer the South. We must max,
up cur minds to conquer the North, ut least b,
far as to dictate the terms Ofpeace. TO this end
every man must devote himself to arms. No
thing Else is of value, nothing worthy to b,
thought Of IN comparison to the sacred duty
defending the liberties of our country iu thi
airocious war. We must become nation o
soldiers and every man ieady to take the iiel,
when called upon. An active and desporat
war is always a short one. We cannot max
this war too bloody or desperate.

officers are there located, their arms are Of the

whole parsphernalia of Camp in complete or.
der The place chosen is admirable. 1t is con-
venieut to the gentlemen in and around New
Castle, who are suspected Of disease now
prevalent in the South, which, for the want of a
better name, we will venture (hope no offence
genuemsn) to call treason. Frequent visits to
this Camp will be Of service to them and if the
Presbyterian clergyman Of Dover, whose square
and solid contents were so playfully referred to
by our correspondent Of last week, will make a
visit to Hare'a Corner, he may 'hear something
to his advantage he may also talk treason
less.
We advise oil who are at all tinctured with
this dreadful malady, to hasten to the Camp at

strange that Gov. Burton should coll out troops
by Proclamation, and then refuse or neglect 10

DEAR SIR:-Can you inform your readers
why our Governor has not called the Legisla-
ture eau it be possible that he has ordered
out troops to perish miserably from want Of pro-
per equipments? We do not believe he is so
black shearted, yet here are the facts The
troops are out There is no provision for food
or clothes. Is our Governor second Pharaoh,
that he desires tents to be made without straw
the work to be done and the material denied.
Why has he not, like true man, issued a
call for the Legislature Unless he does SO, his
name, if remembered, will be in black list Of
traitors and tories. Men will neither forget nor
forgive his crime The people demand that the
Governor shall call the Legislature Let him

KENT County, May 25th, 1861.
Editor Of The Journal.
| DEAR SiR:-I observed that the nroceediprs
Of the Union meeting held at Dover on Tuesdar
the 2lst inst. were not published in Friday $
Journal. Partizan accounts Of the meeting have
been sent by letter writer's to different newsta-
| pers in the State, from which it may be inferred
that the members of the committee Of business
who reported the majority Resolutions were not
Union men" Those resolutions received l34
votes, against 294, as announced by N. b. Smith
ers Esq, one of the tellers. As a member of
the committee claiming to be Union mau, first,
last and all the time, ask you as matter of
justice to the gentlemen who signed the resoln-
tons, to publish them in the Journal aud let
your readers judge for themselves whether they
do not contain sound Union doetrire as believe
they express the sentiments of very large
! majority OF the people of this County and |
will add, if there are any secessionists who did
vote for them, they must hare done il in uiolaiion
Of their principles
1t was truly stated by the member of the
committee who presented the majority report to
the meeting that every resolution it contained
was agreed to by all the gentlemen comprising
the committee. A division arose in regard 10
the expectancy of requesting the Governor to
convene the Legislature, in order that the COM
mittee might act tremendously, l proposed that
the resolutions they now stand, should be
presented as the unanimous report Of the com
mittee, and that the minority could submit a
separate resolution to the meeting recommending
the Governor to call session of the Legislature,
and obtain direct vote upon it. They declined
doing SO, and made the minority report which I
believe has been published in some Of the papers
Yours Respectfully,

On Saturday night May 18th, just at the cou-
clusion of religious service in Wilmington viii
lage, the people on the way home on the Win
chester road, heard strange noises, as Of v omen
screaming, and on hastily repairing IN the direc-
ton, reached the residence OF VIM. Mace, an
Euglishmau, where Of the most shocking
speoiacies presented itself.
By the light of the moon, as the neighbOrs en-
tered tue yard, they espied dead body, and On
going further found the bodies of Mr. Mace aud
his wife, both maIgled and bloody to terrible
extent pale light was first discovered, which
in few moments revealed the fnet that the house
had been fired from the inside, aud the flames
shortly bursting out, the yard door was discover
Ell stained with blood, and the bodies Of the three
murdered victims presented II revolving spectacle
The young man was Of the name OF Richard
McAuley, about tweny-one years of age He
was shot in different places, aud his skull was
cleft to pieces. The old gentleman had also been
shot, aud then beaten in most horrible manner
while the old adys hands, arms, shoulders, lace
and neck seemed chopped to pieces with an axe.
On surveying the premises, the fragments OF a
gun, some pistol balls and large club were dis
covered. that led to the suspicion Of some young
men in the neighborhood, by the names Of Jim
| Wilkinson and John Allen, and on pressing these
inquiries, young Wilkinson hastily fed, Wien
and younger brother were taken and confined
till this time.
The Aliens were put on preliminary examna-
tion before Judge Seeley and Esquire Jones,
which resulted in John Aliens being committed
and William acquitted The party retained was
marched to the prison at Carrolton TO await fur
Their hearing. The proof was croumstautal, hui
his commitment was regarded as a service to hiu
even if not gully, such was the Infatuated stat
of feeling in the community. Pursuit is still
continued after Jim wilkinson.
