THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN DEL
AWARE.

The progress of liberal ideas is gradually
advancing, the latest illustration Of which Is
the introduction Of bill into the Legislature
Of Delaware for the abolition Of slavery in that
State. The bill provides, that every slave,
thirty five years Of age and upwards, shall be
free within ninety days after Its passage and
all slaves under thirty FIVE shall become free
as they reach that age and that from and
after the lst day Of January, 1872, there shall
not be slavery or involuntary servitude, ex.
Cept rs punishment for crime. Males born
Of slave mother after the passage Of this act
shall be held as indontured servants until the
age of twenty.one, aud females until they are
eighteen. The above provisions are based
upon the condition that Congress will, at its
present session, engage to pay to the State Of
Delaware, 10 bonds Of the United States, bear
ing interest at the rate Of six per centum per
annun,, the sum Of 5000, 900, in ten annual In.
Eta!ments, 100000 to be payable on some day
before the lat day of September, 1862, to es-
tablsh q fund for securing full and fair com.
pepsaton 10 the owners Of slaves who shall
have been divested of their property by force
Of the &C, in question" The bill further pro-
viies for the appointment Of an assessor in
each county, who shall estimate the value of
the slaves, and fix the price which shall be
paid for them. The salary Of the State treas
user shall be raised, when the act goes into
operation, from $500 to $1,000, on accoun, Of
his increased responsibilities and duties In
making payment to the owners for their slaves
II Congress will make the appropriation Of
100000 for this purpose, we think every mar
in the State will esteem the act calculated ts
promote the interests Of her people.
The Wilmington Republican, in speaking o
this movement. says that many of the slave
holders would gladly exchange their slaves 70
money, which they could use in payment 70
their lands and contemplated improvements
and that they are informed that many of tn
largest shareholders favor the measure.

MARYLAND A SLUMBERING VOLCANO.
There Is no doubt that II q vote we're taken
to-day in Maryland, free from the power Of the
Federal standing army, she would unite her
SELF by an overwhelming majority, to the
Southern Confederacy. We are sure, from
sources of information in which we have com.
plste confidence, that Maryland is sound to the
core on the great questions Of the day, and only
needs the opportunity to demonstrate 1t In the
most significant manner. The cruelties and
indignities heaped upon her true-hesrted sons
by the Lincoln despotsm have only consolidated
the public sentiment Of the State In the most
rigid resolution; and when the day comes, woe
to the foreign and domestic tyrants who have
fastened chains upon her noble limbs Woe to
the traitors at home and the imported Yankees
who have aided in the work Of tying her hands
and feet There Is not on this continent q more
patriotic and heroic race Of men than the gen.
uine old Maryland stock, and 1t Is only because
they are without arms and overwhelmed with
numbers that they do not vindicate their glo.
rious name from the outrages It has suffered.
But the day will come. Maryland is a slumber.

l39, War Department, September cath,
1863, publishing TO the army the Presi-
dents proclamation Of September 22d.-
A proclamation OF such grave moment 10
the nation officially communicated to the
army, affords the General Commanding
an opportunity Of defining specifically 10
the officers and soldiers under his com.
msnd the relation borne by all persons in
the military service of the United States,
towards the civil authorities Of the Gov
ernmsut. The Constitution confides to
the civil authorities, legislative, Judicial
and executive. the power and duty Of
making, expounding aud executing the
Federal laws. Armed forces are raised
and supported simply to sustain the civil
authorities, and are to be held in strict
suborduation thereto in all respects
This fundamental rule OF our political sys-
tenn is essential to the security Of our Re-
publican insti utions, and should be thor
oughly understood and observed by every
soldier. The principle upon which and
the objects for which itshall be employed
in suppressing the rebellion, must be de-
termiued and declared by the civil author
tiles and the Chief Executive, who is
charged vito the administration Of nation
al affairs, is the proper and on y source
through which the views and orders oil
the Government can be made known to
the armies Of the nation. Discussion by
officers and soldiers concerning public
measures determined upon and declared
by the Government when carried al all
beyond the ordinary temperate and re-.
spectfuI expressions Of opinion, tendsgreat-
ly to impair and destroy the discipline and
efficiency Of troops, by substituting the
spirit of political faction for that firm,
steady and earnest support Of the an,hor.
ity OF the Government, which is the high
est duty OF the American soldier. The
remedy for political errors, il they are
committed, is TO be found only in the &C
lion Of the people at the polls. In thus
calling the attention of this army 10 the
true relation between the soldiers and the
Government, the General Commanding
merely sdverts to an evil against which ii
has been thought advisable during our
whole history to guard the armies Of the
Republic. and in so doing, he will not bt
considered by any right minded persor
as casting suy reflection upon that 10y alt!
and good conduct which has been 80 tul
ly illustrated on 30 many battle fields, il
carrying out all measures of public policy
This army will Of course, be guided by
the same rules of mercy and christianity
that have ever controlled its conduct TO-
