ham Gun for the Union.


Gov. Cannon, of Delaware, has issued his
proclamation against the disconnected and dis
loyal citizens who conspire In that State to aid
the rebellion. II has thotrue ring. Gov. Can
non has fired a big gun:
GOVERNOR CANNON's PROCLAMATION.
To the Teople oChae State Of Deldrdre:
In special message, communicated TO the
General Assembly on the Sd day of March in.
slant, Informed that body of my purpose to
issue my proclamation in relation 10 the act
entitled can Act to prevent illegal arrests in
this State" and thcreing briefly set forth the
seasons which impelled me to this conclusion.
Its provisions are at variance with the inter
ests Of the State, calculated to lessen the esti-
nation In which her people are held, as faith
ful to the Government of the United States; to
embOlden those who sympathiZe with rebellion,
and 10 discourage loyal men from the perform
ance of their duty in discovering and thwart-
ing the designs of the emissaries of treason.
To the end, therefore, that the evil operation OF
the enactment may be ayerted and loyal citi-
zens may feel secure in their efforts against
foreign traitors and domestic consplrators.
], William Cannon, Governor of the State of
Delaware, do, by this my Proclamation, enjOin
upon the good people Of this State, that they
hold true allegiance 10 the Government Of the
United States as paramount TO the State OF
Delaware, and that they obey the constituted
authorities thereof before the Legislature OF
the State Of Delaware, or any other human au.
thority whatsoever.
further enjOin that they be vigilant in de-
tecting any conspiracy against the national
Government, and diligent in preventing aid
and comfort to the public enemy-that they
promptly assist the national Magistrate when
ever invoked, and that they freely communi,
cato any information which may the better en-.
able 1t TO prevent or suppress insurTection or Ia
intercept supplies designed for those In armG
against It's authority; and any one so acting,
will save harmless IRON the operation of the
statute aforesaid or Of any other statute of like
nature that may be enacted, so far as It shal
be attempted to be enforced against him fol
faithfully discharging his duty TO his country
In testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the grea
seal Of the said State TO be affixed, a

"ThS Pirates tsemmssI Own Books"
In the October number OF Godey's Lady's
Book, for 1851, the following appears among
the book notices
"sERvICE AFLoAT AND ASHORE DURING
THE MEXICAN WAR: BY Lieut.. Raphael
Semmes, U. S. N, late Flag Lieutenant Of the
Home Squadron, and Aide-de-oAmp OF Major
General Worth, in the battles OF the valley Of
Mexico"
The above is followed by highly compli-
mentary notice Of the author and his book.
semmes is now engaged in a profession that
will enable him to publish an improved edition
of "The Pirates Own Book" We hope he
may soon be placed where solitude and leisure
will afford him an opportunity TO crafty any
desire he may have to again appear as an
author.

Organization OF the supreme Court.

Chief Justice Cartier, and Justices Fisher
and Olin, arc in town making preliminary ar
rangements for tho immediate organization Of
the new court for the trial of the criminal cases
now pending, the Jail being nearly full of Of
Tenders. Nothing will be done permanently
towards organizing the court, out Of courtesy
to the new justice to be appointed by the Presi-
dent to I'll the vacancy occasioned by the ac-
ton of the Senate in reconsidering the vote
whereby Judge Wylie was confirmed. As tho
Senate took no other action relative to Judge
Wylle but adjourned, 1t is not impossible that
the President may reappolnt Judge Wylio. We
have heard the name Of Return j. Meigs, re-
Gently appointed Codiler of the Laws of tho
District, mentioned in connection with the
place. He is said to be learned in the law, and
is urged as an excellent man for the vacancy.

Greeley and Gnrrinnn.

A correspondent suggests that the phrase L" a
covenant with death and an agreement with
hell" used In reference to the Constitution.
was not original with either Greeley or Gsrri-
son. OF course 1t was not. 1t is borrowed
from Isaiah 2sth chapter, 18th verse, which is
as follows; "And your covenant with death
shall be disannulled, and your agreement with
hell shall not Standj when the ovcrlowng
Scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be
trodden down by it,"
