Destruction of Blockade Runners.


The Herald has letters dated off Will
ming,on 18th. which give details Of the
capture or destruction of the blockade
runners Ranger, Bendigo and Hero. The
Bendigo was run ashore, set on fire and
shelled, Blu, being an iron vessel she was
comparatively unchanged. An attempt
was made to tow Der off by the Montgom-
cry and Iron Age. The Montgomery
stuck fast. but her powerful engines got
her of. The Iron Age also got ashore,
and though two gunboats did their best,
she could not be removed. Her guns
were thrown over and the boat was blown
up. Her officers and crew were trans
ferred to other vessels.
The Ranger was run ashore and set on
FIRE by the Minnesota. One man killed
and one wounded in the boats which
boarded her by rebel soldiers from the
shore.
The Hero was destroyed in the same
way by the Aries. The Montgomery had
been engaged for two days in Smelling
rebel cavalry along the coast. The letter
adds that blockade runners are fast being
used up.

An OLD SoLDuR OPPOSED To MoCLRLLAr.-
Major Gen. Mccall, an old soldier and steady
Democrat Of many years standing, as we'll as the
Democratic candidate for Congress in the Ches-
ter district in 1852, is now opposed to the cleo
tion OF George b. Mcclellan to the Presidency.
1t will be remembered that Gen. Mccall orRanl
aed the Penney ylVana Reserve Corps, body Of
men Whoae reputation gave horor and credit to
the Keystone State on both shores of the Allan
tic. This veteran now takes gronnd against the
nominee Of the Chicago Convention, for reasons
Of AlcCellan's personal uuhtness and bis utter
perhdy in accepting nomination at the hands
Of men who ignore tine justice Of the struggle to
crush treason, aud treat ihs yalor OF our brave
defenders as q nero exhibition OF the brute force
VI ruthless invaders. These are arguments
sufficient to turn every soldier in disgust from

the fact, that she had furnished leas substitntes
and volunteers, than either Of the other two
counties We give below an important table,
showing the number originally enrolled; the
deductions on that enrolment; the original
quota the credits by Naval snlistments, removal
from the district, aud other causes the actual
quota number of men furnished by each sub
district, and the deficiency. This table was
furnished uB by Capt. Cummins OF the Provost
Marshals office, Of this State, and may bs relied
on as correct. IL will he seen, on examination,
that IL the proper effort had been ie, and
osre exercised to have those not liable to the
draft, from various causes, stricken from the
roll, and the number to be furnished thereby
materially reduced, that With little exerlon,
the whole quota Of Delaware could have been
filled and draft avoided.

readers will rscollect, assembled in Dover
IN 1861, and resolved that the Union can
never be restored by force Of arms. Now,
thsy have succumbed to their war candidate
for the Presidency, and given up peace
platform, for one that promises a Wig orous
prosecution Of the war. They talk as gllbby
about maintaining the Constitution and
Laws, as it they had not been for the last
three years giving aid aud comfort to the
enemy. The bait will not catch Union men,
however. These men are marked, and cannot
deceive the people, ~I
