THE following, from the government organ
Ot Washington, is justly CONNIE ndable to Gov.
Hicks:
Gov. Hicks denies. unquulGedly, that he
gave his assent to the burning of the bridges
on the railroads leading from Baltimore north
We take the occasion to add, that our conf.
dence in Gov. Hicks desire to save the Union,
has never been impaired. We should have ex.
pressed this confidence in him earlier, if we
had not been restrained by the apprehension
of bringing down attacks upon him from the
other side. We do net approve II he has done
but we know he has been against the secession
lists from the first TO the last.
Smyrna times., 1861-05-16
MisrepresentatiOIi,

There seems to be a studied effort to misrep
resent our State. This is the case not only
with influential papers in Philadelphia anC
New YOrk-whose designs in so doing we are
at loss to divine-but with correspondent
purporting to reside in our towns, (Which il
very doubtfuD who are either grossly ignorant
OF what is going on around them, or have o
malignant desire to entail some evil upon as
This is particularly the case in regard TO long
letter in the Philadelphia Sunday Transcript
dated Dover, Del. May 9Th, and which the ed
itOr heads with the following PREDATORY note
We have this week the following interesting
and valuable letter from the capital of the State
of Delaware. 1t opens upa condition oftreason
in that petty State TO which the Government
should long ago have attended"
The writer commences by speaking of the
condition of things in the State; is unable to
decide which predominates, the Union or Sc
cession faction; accuses Jas.A. Bayard ofpIedg.
ing and trying to carry Delaware over to the
Southern COnfederacy thinks the State would
have been fortunate if he had been killed by
the mob in Philadelphia; tells them not to
place implicit confidence in Delaware-she is
not TO be trusted; has no confidence in Gov
Burton or Senator Saulsbury's professed pa
triotism says goods, contraband, and supplies
for the rebellious Virginians pass daily over
the Delaware railroad; says the arms in the
hands of the "IIome Guards" are smugged
down the road by the friends of Senator Bay
ard; says Newark, Middletown. Smyrna, Mil
ford, all the towns in Sussex, and most of tho
towns on the Eastern Shore are filled with Sc.
cessionists, and winds up with the following:
Let me close with an appeal for aid from
the North. We need arms here to make our
cause good. The enemy are working against
US increasingly let US have troops quartered
along the line of the road, or, if necessary, let
the rails be torn up."
With our people it is unnecessary for US to
say that such statements as the above were
read with scorn and indignation, as they are
known to be in most every case fasehoods of
the worst character, and written to gratfy
some personal malice Delaware has given
every evidence of her loyalty, not only in the
popular demonstrations of her people, and the
Of raising troop, but in every act
of her Leg slature and State officers We do
not know of a single demonstration in the
whole State in favor of the Southern Confed-
eracy. nor have we heard Of the contributing
Of cent, or the giving OF aid in anything.
there are differences OF opinion in regard to
how our national difficulties should be settled,
ment is that secession is no remedy for the
exi listing evils and under such Union as we
have hitherto had, peace and prosperity will
be enjoyed such as cannot be vouchsafed by
anyother government.
Smyrna times., 1861-05-16

The VERY BIRDS DESERVING THE TRAITORS
The Savannah Republican says We see
it stated that " Robin Red Breast" has failed
to make his annual visit to the South, the
present season. Such is the case in many
sections of the country, and we believe the
boys in this latitude have looked for them in
vain.
The above, as far as the birds are concerned,
is true as applying to this latitude, as we have
heard it remarked several times that these
delightful scngsters were scarcer this spring
than usual. The cause assigned, however.
will not apply, as we have ne " traitors -
men who are aiding by their means or personal
efforts the destruction of the Union. We do
not know, nor have we heard OF one man who
has given a cent or volunteered to fight for
the Southern COnfedcracy, while on the other
hand our regiment at Wilmington evinces the
hearty response from all parts of the State foI
the support of the Government at Washington.
Smyrna times., 1861-05-16

The WAR TO BE Prosecuted WITH ENER-
GY.-The New York Courier gives the fol.
lowing news:
Mr.. Isaac Moses who left this city on Sat
urday night as bearer of dispatches to the
Government at Washington writes that his
dispatches were delivered to Governor Seward
on Sunday, by two o'clock. In his interview W
with Mr.. Seward, h. informed him of the de-
termined feeling in New York to sustain the
Government, and that action of an energetic
character was expected, when Mr.. Seward re-
piled, that the people should not be disap
pointed, and that he thought they would be
well satisfied with what would take place in
very few days. Mr.. Moses spent Sunday
evening with Mr.. Blair, Postmaster General
and says, he gave me the programme of the
Government, which think will be effective
in quelling the rebellion. Troops will. in all
probability, be sent to New Orleans. Mr..
Blair thinks the war will be short, but it will
be spirited and energetic"
Depend on it, General Scott not only knows
what he is about, but sso all that the enemy
is about.
"Why should old ocean be to fury tost,
To watt feather or to drown fly "
Governor Hicks has issued a proc amatior
to suppress General Tench Tilghman, who
fancies Maryland to be out of the Union, and
persists in calling the people of the Second
Division to arms for service in any part Of the
State. The Governor njoins upon the officer
of the Division, and the citizens thereof, not tC
obey or comply with the said regimenla
| orders
