Fill UP THE coMPANIns.

y
Those of our citizens who have enrolled
their names as members of the Home
Guard, should form into and complete the
organization of companies with all pos
slple dispatch. 1t is important that the
regiment should be placed in Il condition
lor defence at once. 1t should he re
nembered that the revocation Of the draft
IN this State was based upon the assur
ance that there would be no unnecessary
delay In organizing the volunteers already
enrolled; therefore. to avoid renewal of
the order for draft, promptitude on our
part is necessary The members of this
regiment will not be taken from the State
They are to be equipped at the expense
OF the Government entirely for Home SER
vice, and will not be expected to encamp
or lose any time, unless the State shall be
invaded by traitorous foe.
Every friend Of the Union-no matter
what may be his politics-shoud join this
regiment, and perfect himself in discipline
anu drill in Il somewhat systematic man
ner. Heretofore there has been no sys
TEN or unity of operation. Our Home
Guards have acted as separate and dis
tinet bodies, each independent of the
other; but by the massing of the several
companies into regiment, with an officer
having authority to command them, uni
tormity and perfection may be reached
and the usefulness of the men secured in
a more practical shape than hitherto y
Col, McComb is working with degree
OF energy and industry peculiar to himself
in this matter, and will doubtless soon
have the regiment on basis of solid ef.
ticiency. Although not a soldier by pro.
tession or choice, he has the manly cour-
age to do right, and will use his best ef.
forts to the end that the men under hi,
command may receive that attention and
encouragement which their self-sacriicinu
patriotism and loyalty deserve. Col
MeComb has never failed in any enter
prise, and with but an ordinary share o
cooperation from his men, we predict
that he will soon raise the Home Guare
Regiment to position equally attractive
and useful What now is most needed i,
organization.

HOW TIlEY LIL.-

The rebel-loeofocos are laboring hard TO
create the impression that the Home
Guard Regiment will be ordered ont of
the State as soon as ii is organised there
by endeavoring to prevent the enrolment
OF names and consequently the filling up
of the ranks. They know they are not
telling the truth when they thus speak :
but what care they for truth, if lie will
best serve their traitorous designs Tbey
hope, by defeating voluntary enistments
for Home defence, to restore the draft 2.
and when one or two thousand more brave
men shall be sent ont ofthe State to fight
for the Union, their intention is to secrrc
Delaware for treason by inviting IL rebel
invasion Of our borders as they did in
Pennsylvania. But our loyal people must
not be deceived by their talsehoods The
oitener they repeat the lie that our Homo
Regiment is to go out of Delaware tbr
more they wish it were true and tbe
more it tends to prove that Home Guarl
is absolutely necessary.

a sLANpERnR smELvEp.

The people Of Philadelphia, on Tuesday
last, sheyed the honorable Chares j. Bid
die, who while member of the last Con
gress denounced this war against treason rs
a"Black Republican job This man, at
the time he uttered the foul slandcr, was
an officer in the volunteer service, and was.
therefore, an employee of the " Black Re
publieans,' drawing pay fin helping to
finish the 'iob' he so thoroughly despsed.
No honest man with spark Of honor in
his soul would have taken pay to do that
which his conscience disapproved OF as be-
ing wrong. But Bidule had no su, h scru-
pies and when he cam, up before the
people on Tuesday OF reelection to a seat
IN Congress, they put their seal Of c0nden-
nation upon his baseness and trcachcry by
eIecting an honorable, high minded, true
Union man in his stead. A glorious vindi-
cation is this by the people Of Philadelphia,
OF the justice of this war; as well as a re-
buke to those, who like Mr. Biddle, oppose
its vigorous prosecution while enjoying the
honors and emoluments of office, and tile
protection and blessings which the govern
mcnt secures to them. If every traitor were
thus promptly marked, punished, and
hurled from postion--public and private
the "Black Republican job" would soon be
finished and the integrity of the Govern
ment sustained.

Ihc rebel General Bcauregard, in n CON
hlential letter to the traitor Braee, dated
July2s, 1867, uses the following language
" BY the by, | think we ought hereafter
IN our official papers, to call the "Yankees
"Abolitonists, ~ instead Of "Fedcrals. y for
they now not only proclaim theaboltion Of
Slavery, but Of all our constitutional riehts
and that name will have stinqilq effect
ON our Western enemies intend to issue
Il general order on the subject whenever /
assume a command"
This advice, although marked "copGdel-
tial, : is daily carried out, not only by gene.
rails IN the rebel army, but also by the Sc.
cesslon-ocofoeo papers and stump orators
throughout the North. low far the .con-
iidential' character OF the suggestion was
intended to extend, may be inferred from
the fact that the rebel party in the North,
almost to a man, carries out the advice ot
Beauregard, To the very letter. If the lo.
eoloeos are not in secret correspondence
with the traitors of the South they have n
most remarkable aptitude in thinking and
acting precisely to the liking Of the armed
minions of jeff. Davis. The rebel Gazette
OF this city talks exactly like one of Beau.
