RETURN OF THE SIXTH della
WARE VOLUNTEERS.

On the 9th day of last June, the ten
companies comprising the Sixth Regiment
Delaware Volunteers received marching
orders. This call was without a moments
notice not man in the whole regiment
had an opportunity of preparing himself
for his sudden departure, yet the unanim-
ity and promptness with which the men
responded to the summons, has not been
surpassed anywhere since the breaking out
of the war. 1t was not the case of regi-
ment expecting to start on day fixed
weeks previous; then all can prepare them.
selves; it was not even as convenient as
the drafted men who have their ten days
notice. The drum was beat, the roll called,
and Forward March" given in such quick
succession, that wives and sweethearts were
parted from almost without kiss. The
farmer left his crop to take care of itself
the mechanic his tools to rust in his shop
the merchant his goods to stay on the
shelves all, whatever their business had
to abandon it, leave their homes, shoulder
their musket, and off to wherever they
were ordered.
These men have done well, nobly; they
have acted the part of true patriots, and
discharged every duty they owed their
country. Their enemies, the secesh Of
this county, may say that they have never
smelled gunpowder, been in no battle anc
therefore entitled to no credit What ar,
the facts now.
First, these men when they left thei
homes did not know where they were going
and yet they went cheerfully. What troop
ever did better than this Even you, Mr.
Secesh, in order to distress their families
circulated over this county the rumors tina
they had battle near Havre de Grac
with the Rebels, and many of them killed
and that they had been sent on to the from

CONSUMPTION.

The first Consumption bill ever proposed to
the Congress of the United States was framed
by George Washington himself in 1870. This
bill was more severe than the later one pre-
pared by Monroe, or even the present law
He proposed to make all free male inhabi-
tants, between the ages of eighteen and sixty.
liable to service, except actnal mariners, and
those exempted by the laws of the respective
States. All who were liable 10 service were
to be-divided into three classes, viz:
~ All between eighteen and twenty-one.
~ All between twenty-one and forty-fve.
(3.) All between forty-fve and sixty.
They were to be divided into legions, regi-
ments, companies and sections, the latter to
consist of twelve persons each. When it be-
came necessary to raise men for an army, they
were to be furnished by the classes from
eighteen to forty-fve. Drafted persons were
to serve three years as regulars, and the liberty
of procuring substitutes was guarded against
abuse by stringent regulations Persons be-
longing to the third class were to be called
into active service only in cases of actual in
vasion or rebellion.
In addition to these regulations, Washing
ton, on whose patriotism the shadow of a
doubt never rested, recommended the adoption
of permanent rule that those who in youth
decline or refuse to subject themselves to the
course of military education established by
the laws, should be considered as unworthy
of public trust or public honors, and be ex-
cluded therefrom accordingly" He also be-
lieved and taught that the Government pos
sessed the right to compel the citizens of the
several States to bear arms in its defence, and
''the right to regulate the service on principles
of equity for the general offences"
The Consumption bill prepared by Mr.. Mon
roe in 1914, differed in many respects from
Washington's. Its principal feature was the
proposition to divide the entire free male pop
ulation between the ages of eighteen and forty
five into classes of one hundred persons each
Each class, in the event of hostilites, was t
furnish one man for the war within thirty
days after the classification, and to replac,
him in the event of casualty. In case O
failure to comply with the law, draft was t.
take place in the delinquent class. The mer
thus drafted were to serve as regulars, as wal
the case in Washington's plan, and as suct
were no longer to be considered as subordinat,
to State authority.
A substitute for Mr.. Monroe's bill was pro
posed in Congress by Mr.: Giles. Itwas mad,
a test question in 1914, and received thu
hearty support of the Democratic party, boti
in Congress and in the country at large. Blu

for the conclusion of peace it would have been
passed by Congress, with an amendment,
which the Democratic members insisted on
ENGRAVING upon the original bill, authorizing
the President, in case of neglect or refusal OF
the Governors Of the States to execute the pro
visions of the law, TO call directly on the militia
officers of the State to carry them into effect"
The same questions of constitutionality
which are now the subject Of controversy be-
tween the General Government and the Gov
ernors of some of the States, were fercely agi-
tated during the war of 1872. Itwas held by
the Governor of Connecticut that the militia
could not be called out upon the requisition of
the General Government, except in case OF ac-
tual invasion, and that when called into the
field they could not be taken from under the
command of officers appointed by the States,
or placed under the immediate orders of an
officer of the United States army. This will
be recognized at once as precisely the position
occupied by the Copperheads of to-day, who,
in their zeal to weaken the arm of the Govern
u,
bellion, are not ashamed to procure their
weapons by breaking into the armory of the
old Hartford Convention. 1t was also held by
the Governor of Connecticut that the private
soldiers could not be legally detached. from
the bodies to which they belonged when called
into the service. These absurd claims, which
if allowed, would have destroyed the military
power of the country, received the sanction o
the Council and Legislature of the State. Ii
Massachusetts, the Judges of the Suprem,
Court declared that the power of deciding
whether the exigency existed which woul'
Justify the Government in calling out the mi
litia belonged exclusively to the State.
The President in his Message to Congress
of November A, 1912, strongly dissented iron
these decisions, and declared that if sustain
ed they would effectually cripple the Unite
States as military power. The question wa
decided in 1897 by the Supreme Court of tn
United States, which held that it belonged e1
clusively to the President to judge when th
exigency exists which would justify calm
| OUT Il6 anu thio, uoWh w thO piS
emit war, was also the opinion of the Democrat
party, which as late as last summer was nea
ly unanimous in urging the authorities {
Washinfiton to draft, and in denouncing til
system of volunteering as too expensive, an
too slow for the exigency- of the time. The
followed the lead of Washington, Madison
Monroe, and all the most distinguished state
men of their party in upholding the constit'
tionality and the expediency of draft. If

are being thinned by the return home of

That the true Union feeling in this State
is growing stronger each day none will
deny. The people are beginning to dis
cover and learning to hate the miserable
Vaccinations of copperheads, sympathizers,
and secessionists. Many of the latter
protest that they are Union men and that
they revere the Constitution while they
are using every means direct and indirect
as far as they dare to subvert the Govern
ment. These low men-of but principles,
and little honor-will be made to eat their
own lies in the course of few months in
such manner as to render them sweet to
the taste but bitter to the stomach But
to effect this laudable end every good man
in Delaware, who loves his country more
than political promotion or paltry gain,
must set himself vigorously to work for
the Union. Come up shoulder to shoulder
with us in the present great struggle, and
while our sons and brothers are destroying
the power of the naughty Southern Sc
cessionists in Dixie, we will show then
that when they shall return they have
no enemy at home and no "fre in tn,
rear"
Let there be Union League or associa
ton of some kind formed in every towI
and village of the State, and let the mem
beers of these various leagues canvass the
country round about until every mar
worthy of the name of man is one O
our brethren. Let us have earnest indi
