The Cost Of Slavery in Delaware.

Mcssrs. EplToRs ALLOW me to ask you
the favor to reproduce in yOur columns the
following very important declaration OF
opnion, made recently by Senator Bayard
in his speech On emancipation in the DIS
trict of Columbia. 1t is strong statement
of n very important fact, and one, THINK,
that is now pretty generally admitted w
that slavery in the Border States is getting
10 be IL very expensive institution. Mr
nov,rd says that il it were given up
tbc wealth Of the state which he has the
honor TO represent would be speedily quad
mnled !" that is to say--iI understand the
Scnntor's remarks-ihat the cost OF slavery
there is equal to three times the entire pres
ent wealth of that Commonwealth. u so,
thnn il must be admitted that their fifteen
hundred slaves are II costly luxury to the
pconle of that gallant litile State.
The following is the statement for which
nsk admission. 1t must be acknowledged
tu be the testimony of Il competent and IN
preiudced witness:
"'In the State of Delaware, admit that
slavery does not exist as n valuable Sourc,
of property. admit unhesitatlngly mat II
tomorrow we could substitute for the Negro

have no means at hand of ascertaininl
the estimated value Of the property in tn
State of Delaware. 1t can not be less, pre-
sumo than twenty Millions If So the pract
cal result of the existing state of things ther
is that according to the estimate OF thei
distinguished Senator) the property holder
of that little State virtually pay some slxT
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, that few Shareholder
not more than live hundred, may enjoy tn
services of some fifteen or eighteen hundre
negroes, worth probably not more than fly
or six hundred thousand dollars. Surel
this, to say the least of itit, is bad econom

Southern Comments on Southern News.

From Tie RichmonR Whg:
Why the reporting Of u battle by telegraph by
letter, or by word Of mouth, should deprive Il
mnn Of every particle of common sense, or every
sperk Of principle we know not but the fact is no.
A hnttle is no sooner begun than we are notified
by ''reliable" despatch that the ''WhUle army of
the enemy will certainly be killed or captured
This we henrd in regard to Donelson, Elkhorni
shiloh, mud nearly every other battle which
hns been fought IL has been claimed ihat the
people OF the North liars, aud that we of the
South are truthful. This is n deusion. We are
fast learning to tell many lies, as big lies. ns
foolish nnd self-eyident lies as the Yankees
Every body knows the whole army of the enemy
will certainly be killed or captured" means that
the Confederates will be defeated next day. But
why choose n prepOsterous tusehood to convey
disagreeaLle truth Why not say "the advantage
is so far on our side bat the battle ia not decided
yet; enemys reinforcementi may come upr'
Or, when the stories Of passengers by the cars
are given, why not sift them, rejecting rightly all
that savOrs of the least doubt, aud reporting only
what is well authenticated Why raise false hopc
and false joy in the people?
| Another piece Of stupidity on the part of our
newspapers and telegraph men is the inordinate
putting OF this or that General Endless ridicue
mas been heaped upon MIR. Davis by comparing
him 10 Washington; and We have been panied to
| see MIR. BrecklnrldRe vlctlml2eu by desphtches
from the battle field OF Shiloh. llndman had
his leg shot off, but that ia small matter when We
consider that Dreckinrdge won immortal honor
by having every rag of his clothes shot away,
his horse riddled,' and even his hat sweep
down'-notwithstanding which (he ftightin
deprivation of his hai) he fought undisnayed. We
mean no disrespect TO Breckuridge; quite The
contrary, We are only angry that his friend'
should permit the reporters to make HIM out
jackassical figure in history.
Unless we can go back TO the old habit ol tel
ling the truth aud using moderate iansuage
quit shaking Savannah with an earthquake
from fort that surrendered after four men wei
wonndel and cease initiate the bombastical an
mendacious lingo ofthe Mexicansand the Chimes
we had better shut up the telegraph Offices an
suppress the newspapers. Ltt us show to til
world That we are Southerners- lovers Of trutl
and of plain honest speech, or else let MS 60 bac
10 the Yankees We so much resemble. The Goul
try is sick of the inelfable nonsense of the knave
and fools who pretend to report our battles

return to Fortress Monroe of Col. Hanson,
of the Second Kentucky Regiment, Rebel
army, who was sent to General Huger by
General Wool to be exchanged for Colonel
Corcoran, and the report that Gen. Huger
declined TO effect the exchange, has created
considerable surprise at Washington. Let
ters from General Wool explain the matter
by giving the reply Of General lluger, which
is that no more exchanges will be made un-
Til the privateersmen in our possession are
delivered up. 1t will be remembered that
the Rebels held Colonels Corcoran, Wilcox
and others as hostages to he treated as tile
privateersmen were, but it was not supposed
that they were to be exchanged only for
those Nice, however, us is the requirement
