bNNlIEMENT IN DONIhs--Nullt cAtlAelhSuN was
created in Dover, On Saturday week, in conse
auence of the examination Of several boxes that
pissed down on the Delaware Railroad, by j. X.
Dickson Government Inspector AT Smyrna Sta
ton We give the following statement as We
heard it; Mr.. b. was in that town on private
business, and had started home, when he was
hailed by gentleman, who informed him that
several very heavy boxes had just arrived at that
place, addressed to Governor Burton, and were
then being placed in the hands Of Secretary
Rdgeley, and taking all the circumstances into
consideration, were deemed as III subjects LOT
official examination Officer ID. was accordingly
soon among the boxes, and asked for the per-
mission to examine them, when, in turn, he was
asked for his authority. This was produced,
read, and pronounced by legal gentleman to
have jurisdiction only Mt Smyrna Station; but
Mr.. b we suppose, acting on instructions from
higher authority, asserted his right TO examine
suspicious goods anywhere and called Tor
Ratchet to open the boxes. The gentlemen be-
came vehement, using high remonatratiye Ian
g guage, and one man. with q considerable degree
OF po.nposity, and whose position in society
would presuppose that he would counsel for
peace advised the throwing of the officer out OF
q the door. A Ratchet, however, was soon brought,
= and the latter, amidst crowd of spectators,
proceeded to open the boxes, which, fortunately,
a were found TO contain books from Washington
u we presume for the State Library. Had those
a. scented 10 the request of the officer, there need
10 have been no excitement or cause of SUSPICION
