Things In Hyde County.

We learn that things have reached terrible pass in
Hyde county. One BANNIsrER MIDYETT is lording It
there with high hand. He has company OF brother
Buffalo thieves, made up of the scum of the county and
commanded by notorious character known as SYL:
VEsTER MCGOWAN. He (M1DYETT) is employed in
making the citizens take the oath of allegiance to the
Lincoln government and he threatens all those who
use with the alternative of being driven out of the
county and having their property con6scated He has
made regular Appointments to address the people and
the burden of his gong consists in chanting praises to
the patriotic Stsny declaring himself true South
ern man, laudng the bravery and brilliant achieve
mens of the Yankees disappearing the state of af
fairs in the South and calling upon God to witness his
purity of motive in taking upon himself this task He
says he is actuaed solely by the deep love he has for
the people of his native county, and love fer the old
flag under which his ancestors fo, bled and died."
and under which he has always lived and hopes to die,
ETC., etc, 10 the usual BANNIsTER MIDYErr syle-vz
with every other word an oath lie. He sent
to the county by SrANLY for the purpose of forcing the
people to take the oath of allegiance to enable
him to command Corporal's guard of voters at an
election ordered to be held Probably in accordance

pELAwARn-A CONTRAST.

No loyal man who contrasts the position
that Delaware occupied during the incum-
bency of the late copperhead Governor. with
that which it now occupies under the ad
ministration of our present wise and patri-
otto Executive, can fail to feel thrill of
honest pride course through his veins. No
longer is our State distrusted by her sisters
nor is her loyalty questioned, but on the
other hand. she is regarded as a model wor-
thy Of the imitation of all the border slave
States in the Union. Even the infamous
acts of the late session of the copperhcad
Legislature and the vile Vaccinations of the
secession sympathisers who live in our midst,
have no other effect than to visit on the
heads Of their guilty authors the contumely
and scOrn of the honest masses throughout
the loyal portion of our country. The false
opinions that have been formed in respect
to our people have been ellectually eradica-
ted. The silence which our late Executive
maintained on all Subjects in regard. to our
Federal relations, and the declarations Of
our Senators on the floor of Congress. as
well as the reasonable doctrines promulga-
ted by the democracy, who were presumed
10 be the dominant party in our State. had
we'll nigh ruined the reputation of our little
