AID FOR OUR SoLDIERs.-The ladies of Mil
ford, Georgetown and Milton have organized
Aid Societies, and are preparing boxes of ar,i-
cles for the volunteers of old Sussex. In all
parts of our State these societies are being
formed, so that our Delaware Regiments will
yet be kindly provided for by those more eapa.

Delaware Affairs.

srRAHoE as it may seem, the only really val
vsble or successful moveaent since the war
begun, says the Commonwealth, was headed by
officers frem the tYo smallest States in the
Union. and that was the movement against the
South Carolina coast-Commander Dupont be-.
ing 9 Dslswsrsan, and Sherman Rhode Is
lander. Rhode Island has been scarcely noti-
eed, and Delaware almost unknown during the
conduct OF the war; but hereafter the great
sisters in the Republic must stand aside, and
make way for Delaware and Rhode Island
We are little, and therefore we mnst make a
big hurrah about this matter, or we will not be
heard.

The Duke of Argyle a member Of the House
of Lords and one of the Queens ministers re-.
sides in this vicinity, and on Thursday last
made speech 10 his tenantry and others as.
sembled at a grand dinner given by his honor,
IN which he distinctly stated that the Govern
ment had not the Temotest intention of inter-
ierlng Ia the American quarrel. AS he was
speaking to agriculturalIsts upon agricultural
matters chiefly, he also made another remark
worthy Of being sent across TO America. 1t is
this: that manufacturing prosperity was the
only basis for great success in agriculture" !"
II the people of any country are largely enga.
ged IN manufacturing pursuits they create such
demRRd for agricultural products as must
keep them up to remunerating prices. This
remark is eminsntly true and hence you zee
corn that is worth 40 cents in Milford selling
10 this manufacturing country at 125 cents
II Milford had the manufacturing done in her
own locality, her farmers would not have to
transport their corn three thousand miles at
great expense 10 market as they now do. 1t
costs them the difference in price between here
and there TO transport it. l see laying on the
quays IN Glasgow, hogsheads Of bark manufac.
tured by our good friend John A. Hazard, of
Milford DEL! The contents of one of those
hogsheads probably brings the Delaware farmer
seven dollars; here they sell for 500! Del.
slaves worth ten dollars in Milford are landed
IN this city and sell every day for 500! Why
shall we not make the effort to bring this mark.

for this very purpose and it will ultimately &C.
eomplsh it if our people have sense enough to
maintain it in spite of the camors of British
manufacturers and American traders who live
and make fortunes by standing between the
producer and the consumer of our agricultural
products. What goes with the eighty cents
difference between the price Of bushel of corn
in Glasgow and the same in Milford! The

THE MEXICAN EXPEDITIONS.

NORTH CARoLINA.-The Union men Of North
Carolina, and there are a large number Of them
In the eastern counties, have followed the sx-
smPles OF the rebels, though in favor OF the egi.
innate GOvernmsnt; they have put the doctrins
of secession in practical operation and seceed ed
from the rest of the State. Five counties have
formed a " Provisional Government" and &C.
knowledged the U. s. Constitution as the an.
prems law of the land, and declared all State
Offices vacated. whose incumbents have violated
their osths to support the Constitution, and tn e
act Of secession 10 be null and void. They
have resolved to hold an election to be repre-
sented in the U. s. Congress. and appointed
Rev. Mr.. Tsyler their Governor. When FIVE
counties in the State can dare to act in this
manner. and the State itself in arms against
the General Government, the Union feeling
must be very strong 10 North CarOlina yet, as
it is in number of other States now arrayad
under the secession flag. EF-

Iron Clad Shins
In England and France and ?Eei,

In Eng land and France and Their Armor.
The success Of the French floating batteries
La Devastation, La Tonnante, and La Lave. at
Kinburn, CrImea, has been the signal OF a rev.
ouliOa in the great navies of Europe which
does not stop short Ofa complete transformation
No soonor was La GloIre built, by order of the
Emperor of the French, than England, seeing
her superiority over wooden vessels, set herself
10 work, and tried TO oGtvie her powerful
rival.
Ths result OF that competition produced the
Defiance, the Resistance the Warrior, and the
Black Prince, four steel clad vessels. now
atioat. Eleven vessels of that description are
said 10 have been ordered by the Admiralty
within the last sixty days, and an amount of
twelve and half millions of dollars has been vo.
ted by the English Parliament for that purpose.
But as every one Of these vessels cost above
two millions. and as the amonnt voted is merely
sufficient for the construction of FIVE of them.
an additional appropriation of about fifteen mil
lions is necessary for the six remaining vessels.
The activity displayed by France in renew.
ing her navy is.nOt less remarkable. In a latc
English paper, we see that she has now eleven
iron-clad vessels ahoat or in commission. and
seventeen building. The construction of these
vessels has been distributed to the navy-yaYds
of Toulon, Brest and Rochefort, and if their
power Of resistance is as great as il ia now
supposed, France will soon have on the ocean
fleet of unconquerabs floating torlresses.
The creation Of this iron navy is due mainly to
the fear caused to the French Emperor by the
English naval review held atSpithe cad, between
five and six years since. and by the boasting of
the English, on this occasion, that they would
beat all The combined navies of the world.--N

English News.

The principal topics of discussion in England.
as per last steamer, were the battle of Lees
burg and the correspondence between Mr..
Seward and Lord Lyons. The latter has en-.
cited considerable irritation, ana is lseked upon
as decidedly hostile manifestation on the psrs
Of our Government, while the popular anger is
not less manifested at the bad advocacy ofEnR.
lish rights displayed by Lord Lyons. We
should not be surprised at the recall ofthat
nobleman. Mr.. Stewards dispatches are ad.
miited TO be very able, nsverthsless they excite
bitter comment; bat the Times declares tkss
England has no intestiOn ofin,srfering in ous
affairs, nor Of going to War.
THE FAMINE IN IRELAND
The condition of the west Of Ireland 10 excl.
ting the livsliesi alarm. The distress has no.
yet assumed a formidable aspect, nor is il like.
ly to acquire the dimensions of famine. Il is
only in some limited districts that the potato
crop has been lost to the extent of eefourths.
One-halt is the general estimate. The foods
IN some places have added materially TO the
destitution. The want of fuel will be most
severely felt, especially as the winter threatens
to be hard one, being ushered in by frost and
snow' very unusual at this early period. The
wet season prevented the saving of turf" or
peat, on which the people of Connsugh. rely
almost entirely for fuel.
