FALSE RuNoR ooRREcTED.--A number of
very silly rumors prevail, in reference to the
late railroad accident on the Delaware road.
Among them is one TO the effect that nearly
all the injured men who were brought TO
thiscity have since died. A gentleman who
has taken the pains to possess himself of
correct information on this point, assures us
that up to Sunday evening all the wounded
were alive and doing WE'LL and that there
is but a single case among them in which
the nature of the injuries is such as to ere
ate any doubt of final recovery What pity
it is that Madame Rumor has snch a mis-

from our own Correspondent.
Dover, January l8, 1862.
Mr. EDIToR
The all-absorbing topic of con-
versation in Legislative circles for several
days past has been the Lottery Miotion,
what will be the nature of the 16Khmiilae's
report" What will be the final action of
the Legislature in the premises, and many
other questions of similar import, one would
hear wherever group of men we're col
lected.
The FIRST of these questions was answered
by the presentation of the report itself in
the House yesterday morning, by Edward
Belts, ESQ., of your city, chairman of the
committee.
The report consisted of resolution di-
recting the State Treasurer to disburse the
sum of eighteen thousand dollars received
from John A. Morris and Company, to the
benefciaries, as provided in the grant, and {

No true lover of his country doubts that those
in arms against it and seeking 10 destroy it, de-
serre to be destroyed themselves. Every loyal
citizen will admit that the government is worth
fighting for, and will be when three-fourths of
its men and nine-tenths OF its means are sacri-
iced. Ii then, we are justified in expending all
this blood and treasure TO preserve our liberty
aud institutions, can we not claim the right to
overthrow and exterminate all that is used to
dissolve, and resolve into chaos, the best govern
ment ever known ou earthl While all admit the
duty OF the authorities to arrest or shoot down,
as the case may be, all who resist the enforce
ment OF Federal law, or take possession Of the
forts, arsenals, mints, &C.; some cannot see the
moral right to measure the same degree Of
punishment 10 those who are merely secession
lists at heart, and not in open rebellion. Gas Il
man thinketh in his heart, so is he" "Out of
the abundance of the heart the mouth speak
eth" can evil man, out OF the evil treasure
of the heart, bringeth forth evil things"
All these passages prove that 1t is the state
Of the heart by which man is judged, and not
by outward actions, or words alone. The gov.
| ernment however deals with things tangible. II
chastises the enemy and those who directly give
it aid and comfort, Would it be anything more
than sef-defence, If this nation commanded that
every one who uttered reasonable language bt
imprisoned and, Il inourabe, put to death
This country would never have been so neal
it's death struggle, had it's great and frightfu
malady been taken in season. The demon, il
the shape Of a Rebellion, could not have affect
ed such powerful Constitution, il its function
had been in their normal state. II would tha
