A desperate enemy has invaded the neigh

The Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
Railroad, the main reliance of the Govern
ment for the transportation from the north,
of men and munitions Of war, is menaced,
not only by open foes, but their marauding
confederates, who, under cover of darkness,
threaten to destroy it.
The defence of your soil lies in keeping
open this door Of communication, through
which endorsements can be forwarded. The
true military line of this State is the bank
Of the Susquehanna. The most effective
way to prevent the spoliaiion Of your house
is to keep the enemy outside of it.
In this emergency an appeal was made t'
the loyal men of Delaware. They have re
spouded with readiness that challenges en-
comium, and self sacrificing spirit that ex
torts admiration. They have left their work
shops, their stores and their fields. Tn

The PRAyEa-MEErfSo.- way to kill
prayer meeting is to make 1t conventional; and
the chief secret of conducting 1t so that 1t shall
minister to edifcaton is to force people out of
conventional ways to break up hereditary and
stereotyped forms of prayer TO charm men into
forgehulnsss of the machinery Of the meeting !
SO that they shall pray artlessly, naturally, and
sensibly.

reduced the number to one hundred and

case fell short of the truth, and that the
number of wagons captured was one hun

mules. The capture occurred about
