Effect of the Rebel Invasion.

The Philadelphia Ledger argues that the
Confederate invasion of Maryland and Penn
sylvania will have the effect of providing ano-
ther large army for the field, without the ne
cessity of resOrting to conscription, and adds
. So it will be while the war lasts and any
loyal State is in danger from invasion. What
ever politicians may say about peace and how
ever desirable the people may deem it, the
peace they look for is a peace with Union and
under the Constitution Of their country as it
has always existed. They have never contem-
plated peace on any other terms, and the
first ntimation of danger to our free institutions
arouses all the patriotism slumbering in their
bOsOms into new life. As mere matter of
policy nothing could be worse for the success
OF the rebel cause than the purpose of devas-
tatlng the farms OF Pennsylvania, SO impOrtune-
ly recommended by the Richmond press. 1t
turns every man out a soldier, no matter what
his politics 1t unites the whole people in one
common idea Of resistance. 1t does more than
than this for as it shows them what the dan
ger will be hereafter of having hostile State
adjoining their border, and how continually
they might be harrasSed and alarmed for the
safety of their persons and property, it makes
them the more determined that such evils shall
never be inflicted upon them by separation OF
the States. The Union one and indivisible be-
comes more fixed idea with each day $ occur
rences proving to the people how inestimable
is its value, and how necessary it is to our fu
ture peace and prosperity. 1t is this sentiment
of the necessity and value of the Union, which
will continue to put new armies into the field
as long as the integrity of the Union is in dan
ger, and while the men and means exist to fur
nish them. 1t is gratifying proof, also, how
surely the Government may trust and rely OF
the patriotism of the people"

RELEAsED.-The eight men arrested on sus-
picion of being engaged in the attack on the
house of John Green, Esq, enrolling officer for
Murderkill Hundred, were on Saturday dis
charged by the L, S. Commissioner, Leonard
f. Wales, Esq. after taking the oath of ale
glance and their obligation to report them
selves at the Head Quarters of the Provost
Observation-Disclosures by him requested to do
so. After their release they were taken to the
Delaware House by several sympathizers and
treated to the best viands and most enspiriting
llbatiOns we suppose that the house could af-
ford. They are now genuine martyrs to the
cause Of Copperheadism and will be next thing
on that ticket for seat in the Legislature or
clerks Of that honorable body with an amanu-
cnSis, or some fat county office, particularly
such OF them as may be known by their COM
rades to be guilty. a

HARvEsr.-1he farmers are now busily en-
gagged in their hay harvest In consequence of
the dry weather the crop will fall considerably
short of full yield Last week We had several
fine growing showers, but too late to benefit
this crop. Next week the wheat harvest will
be pretty general The crop of straw will not
be large, and owing to the heavy rains of the
winter and spring. many acres of low land have
been nearly destroyed. If thinner than usual,
the heads are large and well filled, and most
of our farmers will have good yield (some Of

PEACH BASKETS. By advertisement in an
other column it will be seen that Messrs. Hill
X Ready are prepared to furnish Peach Bas-
kctS to the amount of 80 00O and are thus ca
pable of filing all orders that may be sent to
them in proper time. These baskets are not
of the Yankee make, but are manufactured in
this town at the Machine shop of Mr.. Richard
MITCHELL and we can commend them the more
on this account. There is no need why we
should be behind the more northern States in
such mechanical productions, and We are glad
this Firm has set the enterprise on foot The
peach crop promises to be very heavy this year
and the probability is that all the basket, will
be needed that can be manufactured by both
hand and machinery.

The Legislature.

The DctdWdrean finishes up the dOings of
the Legislature at its last or short session with
bare five lines. Here It is:
The LEGISLATURE.-The Legislature met at
Dover ON Tuesday the 9Th inst, and ON We'd
nesday adjourned until the second Tuesday in
january next. No business was transacted by
either house.
This strikes us as rather singularly short and
curt and very summary way of getting rid of
an unpleasant subject. There is evidently
trouble in this happy family" and the
DefdWdreGR, true to its vocation as cage keep
er, is not disposed to let outsiders know the
little plcasantries' (?) that transpire within
They may kick, and squeel, and bite as much
as they please inside; that is family matter,
and none of our business.
We had a pretty long account ourselves, and
naturally turned to the Detuwarean, expecting
to find an elaborate and faithful transcript of
their dOings, but it was non est. We certainly
expected to see how the Clerk of the House,
in very spirited manner, refused to present
the resolution offered by the gentleman of
motions of Duck Greek Hid. to the Senate for
concurrence; and how he (the Clerk denounc-
ed them rs sycophants (Of the Salisbury cabal,
report sayS) and trucking partisans; and how
some of them became suddenly agitated be-
cause of such contemptuous treatment of the
august body, and stammered that Jack didn'
know more than his master if he was lawyer
and how the indignant member from Duck
Greek Hd blew like a veritable Bello,cs under
the stigma of sycophancy, and wanted the
vacant seat of the stubborn Clerk filled by one
of their own number; and how the said recu-
SAINT Clerk treated the Sergeant-at-Anns when
instructed to bring him back and how they
got into muddle about the hour of adjourn
ment, and had to take legal advice for fear they
would, by such extraordinary proceedings, be
Stripped oftheir power; and, finally, how they,
under some potential influence, induced the
Clerk to re-appear and take his seat
There are two or three other points on which
We reasonably expected information in the col
umnS of the DetIrdrpdH As a faithful chron-
icler Of what tranSpircs in the capital, we ex-
pected to see the special message of Gov. Can
non transmitting the patriotic rebuke of the
Missouri Legislature in response to the treason
able resolutions passed by our own Legislature
in reference to National affairs We also ex-
pected to see something of the nature of the
Lottery swindie, which so many of the Demo-
cratic members were then and there endeavor-
ing to foist on the State; and, last of all, we
ought to have had some intimation of how
that 500 worth of Scent postage stamps was
appropriated since not one copy Of that Won
dcrful document, the Investigating Commit
tee 5 Report-for which the appropriation was
especially made-has passed through this post
office, at least, though piles of them have been
distributed by hand. All these things we ought
to know, and the Delawarcau must look well
to its laurels if it expects to maintain reputa-
ton as a faithful chroncler Of the times.

1t is unnecessary to accompany these papers

My views upon the subjects of which they treat
are too well known to you to require elucida
tiOn.
1t is obvious that the prospect of a COnven
ton or armistice is as visionary as its realiza
ton would be disastrous.
The rebels have always declared, with per
sistency admitting no change, and dfrcctness
'dGfying. misunderstanding, that the separation
is final and irremediable They will lister
to no proposition but disunion and accept ne
termination of the contest except full and
complete recognition of their absolute Indie
pendence.
To this end they have taken up arms against
the Government, and, from the beginning, have
proclaimed their determination with anwaver
ing cOnstancy.
In this view the proposal Ofan armistice is a
mere albtetfugeT-the plea. for. a. Convention, Il

INSISTING TIE ENROLMENT. Samuel Dra-
per, Esq, the Enrolling officer for Milford Hun
dred, has been having spcck of trouble in
the prosecution of his duties. On Friday last
he went to the residence of a Mr. John Wesley
Hail. and on inquiring for him was told he was
i'll the field. On repairing thither and asking
the necessary questions for his enrolment, Hall
became insOent. ordered him off his farm and
threatened violence. As Mr. Draper proceed
edpaSt the house on hisreturn, followed by Hall,
the latters wife came out and threw eggs at
at him, with will, without, however, hitting
him. He was also informed that if he went
further down the Neck that he would
catch it"
The Provost Marshal was informed of the
case and a small squad of Cavalry was forth
with sent below, who arrested Hall and brought
him to the rendezvous in this town Oh Satur-
day evening, where he at present remains, very
penitent His wife was arrested on civil pro
cess and carried before Squire Davis, of Mil
ford, where she was fined five dollars and cost,
protesting that she did not know it was such
serious mBtter to play the viragoOr to resist the
enrolling officer Doubtless they did not, but

keep out of difficulty themselves dill kno,c Of
such punishment when encouraging them to
such acts by their disloyal conversation.
