bloody rebellion exists in this the jurlsdic-

ty depend upon its absolute and utter OK
tinction; therefore,

MIR. Smith is a gallant son of Kentucky,
and us ardently attached to the interests of
his native State as any man on the floor Of
Congress, but he is not willing that in order,
to save the institution of Slavery, the last
vestige of civil liberty shall be crushed out.
Like wise Statesman, he has learned that
the bligh,ing curse OF slavery is the germ
from which has sprung all the evils that
have for years afflicted the body polite. anc
plunged the nation into a civil war, ana h,
is ready to sacrifice it and everything elst
that stands in the way of a restoration o
the power and authority of the government
To secure this object he is in favor of fight
ing treason in every manner until it is for
ever destroyed. All honor to this noble
hearted, patriotic Kentuckan, he is worth,
representative of the home of the lamente,
Henry Clay. How unlike the mean, treas
enable course pursued by Garrett Davis il

Everything passed off pleasantly, and the vast

treason, would be but to give it renewed cxis-
tencc, aud enable it again to plunge US into
another causeless war.
"ln the destruction Of the military power Of

while armed rebels march over the soil Of any
State no'real freedom can prevail, and no gov

Governor Cannon, in his practical and
excellent Message to the Legislature last
week, took occasion to recommend to that
pouy That an agent be employed by this
State TO look after the welfare of the bravo
Delaware Volunteers, and that sufficient
funds be placed at his disposal to ensure
their comfort. Most of the loyal States
have already pursued this policy, and their
agents are constantly watching over their
troops and promptly relieving all their wants,
while nothing is being done for the brave
men from our Commonwealth, except by
private individuals. II is true Governor
Cannon has been assduous in his efforts to
do all in his power for their comfort. but
then he has no means placed at his disposal,
and consequently the amount of good ac.
complished is necessarily limited LOYAL
societies have also done their share, and
expended large sums derived from
private purses to ameliorate the con.
dltlon OF the gallant spirits who have left
their homes to do battle in the nations de.
fence, The State should do something in
their behalf, and we hope that our Legisla.
ture will see the necessity of appointing an
agent to look after the soldiers from Della
ware, and relieve their wants when suffering
from disease or wounds while fighting tho
enemies of liberty and Union. Will the,
do it?

NEGRO SOLDIERS.

employment of negro soldiers by the Gen.
eral Government. They sec in it something
awful, and are sure that it is both upeonsti.
tutional and destructive OF the interests of
the white man. JAS. A. Walker, Of Comnonv

captured in the attack upon the train ot
Mooriield and Allegheny Junction, on Mo
Sd inst, by the enemy under that arrant
knave Fitzhugh Lee. lie has escaped and
reported to the gallant Col. Mulligan. Mr.
Walker states that there were three com.
panies of eoloIed troops connected with the
force, which captured him. They were
cavalry armed with carbines. We presume
the Copperheads, who denounce the employ.
ment of colored men to suppress the rebel
lion as an attempt to place the negro on al
equality with the white man, will regard
Their employment by the rebels as great
virtue. oh, consistency, thou art jewel.
