eEoReIA AND DELAWARE.

The State Of Georgia sent-a few days ago
a commissioner to the capitol Of this State, for
the purpose Of inducing Delaware into the ranks Of
treason and rebellion. We had no previous nolice

Govern Burton, who instead of ejecting the re-
preventative Of treason from his presence, as
the people of Delaware would have justified him
in doing, be received him, and in all the pomp
and circumstance of official ignorance, introduces
him by special message to the Legislature with
the hope that the members twill acknowledge
with becoming respect the courtesy extended 10
[theml us by the State Of Georgia." What on
outrage is this upon the loyal sentiment of the
people of little Delaware Docs not Gov. Burton

You will much oblige me by inserting the

It has been rumored (by whom or to what extent
know not) "Mat County funds or School funds
haze been loaned out." And in this connection con-
sidering the fact, that may Teachers for last year
yet unpaid for their services, as also bills for
repair of School Houses, &C., remaining on file un-
settled, have thought proper, in justification of
the Treasurer of the School fund of our county, to
make the following statement, viz:-That the
School fund received from the State Treasury, for
tiated, with the approval of the Board of School
Commissioners, by J.. T. Padgett, Esq, Of Port
Tobacco, to whom, without consulting him upon
the subject take the liberty of referring all who
may desire to know how that fund has been dis
bursed. l make this reference, not because think
it would be doubted, that that amount had been
properly paid out, but because know it will afford
that gentleman great pleasure to testify to the fact
that the whole of that fund was disbursed by writ
ten orders on him in payment of Teachers sala-
ries without the monies passing through my hands.
thousand five hundred dollars, levied upon the
county for the same year. of this amount have
received from Collectors 50, ,200) twenty two hum
dred dollars, twenty-one hundred Of which was
received in Teachers receipts and one hundred II,
cash, and this am prepared to verify.
In conclusion, scarcely deem 1t necessary TO
say that have not loaned out, either dipectly or
indirectly, any School funds or County funds, nor
do believe that any of the Collectors Of this Coun.
know personally and regard them gentlemen,
not only innocent of such charge, but above sus
picion. J. }. HUGHES.

BsHThe opinions of the English press on the
bombardment of Fort Sumter are interesting.
They are by no means unanimous The Times
considers the result of the 6ght-nobody hurt
perfectly inexplcable. Another journal con-
siders the conflict the most ludcrous affair men
toned in history. third hopes, that now both
parties have vindicated the honor by carrying
out their preannounced intentions in regard to
Fort Sumter, peace should be made. The
Liverpool Post looks upon the matter in COM
mercial light only, and speaks of the effect on
cotton, which has advanced surprisingly, and
is likely to be still higher.

Saving the Union.

30 The Howard Association, of Philadelphia
a. benevolent institution of large resources
and extended influence, has entered upon a
plan Of saving the Union, which, it strikes us,
is a most admirable and efficient one. I,
proposes to organize Committees in every
Ward in the City of Philadelphia, and wher.
ever else cooperation can be found, to col.
lect and distribute aid to the suffering poor,
in systematic and careful manner, during
the prevalence of the present political panic
and also to send nurses, medicines and mon
ey to the destitute and afflicted poor in the
Seeding States Of the Union, until settle
ment of the present difficulties and in case
Of actual collision between the contending
parties still to furnish relief to the most un-
fortunate sufferers, as it has formerly done
during the prevalence Of Cholera and Yellow
Fever in the South. "Charity is twice bles-
sod: it blesseth him that gives, and him that
takes" The North cannot fail to b.. benefit
ed by this movement, if energetically pur-
sued, and the South cannot resist such ap-
peals to its magnanimity In case Of civil
war-which we do not for one moment con-
slider possible--we may expect to see another
Florence Nightingale come forth from the
ranks Of the noble-hearted women of the
