another Doomed CIV.

The DelalOare Gazette, a supporter Of the
Lipeela administration, thus refers to the city
OF Wilmington, in that State:
No city in the mijGl, States had Rairsr pros
poets one year ago than Wilmington. The
abolition fanatics have, however, destroyed
the brilliant prospects that doomed up so forci-
bly, before her artisans and actureTs.
That The trade of Wilmington, was nearly de-
pendent upon the South few can doubt. The
denial to the South Of their equal rights in the
territories, and the threats to circumscribe the
Southern States with a Gordon Of free States,
and ultimately arm and free the slaves, by the
fanatics, forced eleven States to withdraw from
the Union and with their withdrawal has
gone much of the trade Of Wilmington, and
we fear ouT prospects ia the future for pros
peTity is sadly ruined.
We have be n told that a Republican politi-
cal leader has been heard to say that were
that party to put candida ties in the field now,
and run them upon the Chicago platform, they
could not Teceivs three hundred votes 10 the
city and yet the public sentiment of Will
mingtOn isheld by mere mob threats to sustain
the policy Of Lincoln, Cameron & Co, not
withstanding that policy has enPtied nearly
all OF our workshops and factories. Were
WILMINGTON permitted TO enjoy her due share
Of the trade Of the South to which she is enti-
tied az the chief city in a Southern State, she
would In a few years become so valuable to
the farmers Of the a ijacent country that their
lands would double and treble in value. The
northern cities are determined to hold the
southern trade or force it across the Atlantic.
They would prefer to see Liverpool and Man
chester flourish rather than Baltimore and Will
mington rise to respectable metro p~olitan d.
msuaiOns.

u The Richmond Examiner learns that
the government has recently taken the most
active and thorough measures to close all pcs
sible avenues OF communication with the
North from Virginia. These measures are very
extensive and we'll guarded, and are said to
have proved themselves completely efficient
since the 18Th instant. A number Of parties,
says the Examiner, have been turned back
from different POINTS Of the frontier by the Wig
liant and suspicious guards which the govern
nent has established in every direction to as
sure the isolation Of the State and the secrecy
Of the mill airy movements Of the government.

IT a number Of fugitiyes arrived at Rich
noEd on the 19.h inst. FROM the Eastern Shore
OF Maryland, driven out, as they reported, by
excuses of the reign Of terror which the Lin
coin troops had inaugurated in that section Of
the STATE. The troops which had been sent
down to the neighboIhood of Port TobaecO
are stated to have committed the most infa-
nous outrages upon the people, ravishing fe-
males, plllsging and burning property, and
arresting citizens by the score. Many fami-
lies had fed their houses, but with little hope
Of escape into Virginia, on account Of the
close guard kept on the Potomac.

FOR The last fourteen years the army has

scouting over barron, dry, and worthless praires,
fighting Indians, and giving to the frontiers OF
Texas a full and complete protection. The Co

Nothing but black ingratitude- The national
