THR MAGNOLIA AFFAIR. As we supposed
the reported secession affair at Magnolia, which
We copied from the Tribune, on Tuesday last,
turns out, to be false. The person charged with
having seized the United States arms Mr.. El-
mond Stout,-is we are informed, an inoffensve,
kindhearted and thorough Union man, and
knows nothing about the matter spoken Of We
are told further that the report in the Tribune
is the result of private malice. The scoundiel
who could put in circulation at this time such
a dangerous falsehOod against IN innocent and
harmless man, deserves the halter.
TnR SEAT OF wAR.-A very neat and accurate
pocket map of the sent Of war may be had at
the book store of j. r. Head No 42l Market

embraces, besides the States Of Pennsy lvania
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia
the cities Baltimore, 81. Louis, Washington
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans

cred into the service of the United States yesteT
day. This is one Of the finest companies in th
service in this State, and halls from Georgetown
= Sussex county. We predict that if the "Susse
boys" ever get into action, they will do honor I
T. themselves aud Delaware.

A. got complete possession Of Baltimore the gre
: metropolis of Maryland. Cheap JonN, No. Al
le King street, has also got complete possession
great deal Of the custom OF the house keepers
n this city, the metropolis Of Delaware. The re
son is that his supply of such merchandise
no they need is very extensive and his prices low
D. than anywhere else.
