From the Carson Appeal Of this mornIns,l
CARSON ITEMS.

COOP TENPLAAs.-The Order of Good
Templars is in a hourishing condition in
Carson. 1t is no doubt snatching a good
many brands from the burning. On Mon
day evening. the following officers were
installed for the ensuing term: T. D.
Edwards, w. c.; w. Patterson, W. S.;
Mr.. Cowan, W. F. S.; James Duffy, W.
F.; J.. B. Cormack, W. NJ; NJ. Kelley,
W. I. G.; George Houston, W. D. g..
The Lodge numbers eighty members IN
good standing, and is receiving weekly
accessions. We are glad to see so earnest
and efficient a Cold Water Army arrayed
against that old buffer, John Barleycorn.
THE RoBBERY.-Deputy Sheriff Has
we'll, officer Bethards and others went in
pursuit of the perpetrators of the highway
robbery Of night before last, and were out
all night hunting in vain. They discov-
cred some tracks, near where the robbery
was perpetrated which they traced for
some distance, but which, unfortunately
led to no satisfactory result. 1t is half
suspected that this robbery was a put up
thing" What reason there is for think
ing so. we are unable to determine. It
certainly looks very strange that a man
should start from Virginia to walk to
Carson City, with so large an amount as
$4,000 in the open pockets OF a linen
duster-as we are told that Wright did.
The wagon which he was on. when the
robbers met him. was a F~renchman's
which he had got into only a little way
from the scene of the robbery. AS Charley
Backus used to say, we are afraid there is
" something rotten in Dunkirk."
SACRAMENTO VALLEY RAiLRoAD.-We
have reason for believing that a heavy
force of laborers will soon be added to
those already employed in the construc-
ton and extension Of the Sacramento
Valley Railroad. 1t is probable that two
or three thousand men will be set at work
early in the coming Autumn, between
Single Springs and Placerville. Should
this be done. we may expect the cars TO be
running to Placervillc as early as the LIST
Of next January.
MORE EMIoRANrs.-Mr. Hendricks ar
rived here yesterday from across the
Plains. His family accompany him /; and
he brought through twelve fine American
horses. He is from Iowa and left the
Missouri river on the Sth Of May.
REMovEp.-Our worthy friend Fox, of
the News Depot, has concentrated his
stock of books, &c., by removing the con-
tents Of the Post Office branch into his
main store-where, if anybody can call
for anything and not find it, it is of little
use for him to look any further.
EMIeRANr MULEs.-Mr. Phillips ar
rived here, yesterday, from Iowa with 81
head of fine mules. He left the Missouri
| river on the 5th of May.

the next election will bring her out right T;
and Delaware will find her population,
industry, intelligence and wealth SO rap
idly and vastly increased by it that her
people will be amazed that they could
have been kept 50 long in the tolls of
Slavery and Sham Democracy.
On Friday the same paper remarked
The Legislature of Delaware has re-
Jected the Constitutional Amendment by
a strict party vote. That was expected.
The Democratic majority could not have
ratified the Amendment without voting
themselves permanently out of power. To
be sure, the result will be the same any
now, as the Amendment will beat them at
their next election but it always seems
preferable to die otherwise than by suicide.
The Albany Evening Journal says -
delaware is progressing backward. y
Unlike Maryland and other Border States,
1t shuts its eyes to the fact that this is q
progressive world and that Freedom not
Slavery is to be the future condition of
man. The Legislature of that perverse
little State yesterday rejected the pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution by
a three-fourths vote in the Senate and q
two-thirds vote in the House,

Hon. Thomas Holiday Hicks died at
Washington on Monday morning. lie was
native of the eastern shore of Maryland,
where he resided, and was chosen TO the
State Legislature for several terms. He
was elected Governor in 1858, and held
Office until 1862 He was then chosen to
succeed Hon. james A. Pearce in the
United States Senate, on the death of that
gentleman, and took his seat in the third
session OF the thirty-seventh Congress.
A large mass meeting was held in Rich
mond last week, the object of which was to
rouse the people Of the insurgent States to
proper sense Of their danger. Several OF
the most prominent Rebel statesmen ad-
dressed the meeting-among them Messrs.
Hunter and Benjamin. Benjamin, in the
course Of his speech, admitted that Richmond
could not be held with their present force
in the field that the supply of able-bodied
white men was exhausted, and that the arm
ing of the slaves was the only resource.
Mr.. Gilmer, Of North Carolina, and others,
made speeches glowing with flames OF war
and resistance. Resolutions of kindred
character were adopted.
The Chicago Tribune, of Friday, says
The westward bound train on the Michigan
Southern Road, due here at noon on We'd
nesday was thrown from. the track near
Jonesville, Mich, about 6 A. NJ, by a
broken rail. The locomotive and baggage.
car passed safely over, but the succeeding
four coaches were precipitated down an
embanknent of twenty feet. Two of them
made two complete summersets, sand were
smashed into kindling wood. The other
two performed one revolution and a half,
and halted bottom upward and smashed to
pieces. The sleeping car remained on the
track, the coupling having given away. The
engineer saw the broken rail when close
upon it, and had time to reverse his engine
aud bring the train to sudden halt. There
were about forty to fifty passengers in each
coach, who suddenly found themselves, first
pitched forward on their heads by the shock,
and the next instant tumbling head over
heels down the hill, mixed up with broken
seats, cushions, carpet-sacks, stoves and
fuel, and landing on their heads. Most oil
the passengers were more or less bruised
but it is positively affirmed that no lives
were lost"

DELAWARE ron SLAVERY

The Constitutional amendment passed
by Congress and submitted to the several
States for ratification, by which Slavery,
that disturbing element, shall be eradicated
from our political system, has been ignored
by the Legislative Assembly of the State
Of Delaware, now in session at Dover-or
rather ignored by the semi-rebel represen-
tatives of Kent and Sussex counties, for
we beg to exempt the loyal county of New
Castle from the damning disgrace.
New Castle county contains more than
half the white population of the State, and
yet by reason Of unequal and unjust repre-.
sentation-New Castle has only one third
of the members Of each branch of the
Legislature. So we are tied hand and
foot, and must remain so until God in his
mercy, shall redeem US from rebel rule in
Delaware. We say rebel rule, because
there is not man in that Legislative AS
sembly voting to reject the Constitutional
amendment, who would not help the rebels
if he dared-not one who would vote for
men and means.'to carry on the war-not
one but rejoices when our armies are de-
ieated, and is sad when rebels are put to
rout. What Salisbury is in the U. S.
Senate they arc in the Legislative As
sembly Of Delaware, viz; the advocates
Of human bondage, the friends and sympa-
thizcrs of Jefferson Davis, the aiders and
abettors of the Rebellion, the enemies of
all progress, the ignorant representatives Of
constituency debased and demoralized by
the damning touch of Slavery; and yet we
tolerate them and allow them to make our
laws.
How long will the loyal, suffering people
Of this county consent to have their lust
rights denied them by such Legislature ?
Under democratic rule, and according to
democratic principles, Dorr and few
rowdies agitated in Rhode Island until
they really accomplished good reformation
in that little State. Now, why. can't we
with such precedent go down to Dover
en- mass, five thousand strong, and present
our petition to that Legislative Assembly
toretorm our Constitution, and to reconsider
their action in regard to the Constitutional
amendment of the United States? Perhaps,
it will be said, those fellows will laugh at
youf Let them laugh and mock us il
they dare when We ask only for justice,
and we will make the town of Dover too
hot to hold their worthless carcasses And
it will come to this before long There
arc great moral and political laws that
work out certain results as surely as the
laws of nature The position of Delaware
the Slave State, in the midst Of the grea
free States Of the North is in violation O
these laws. 1t could only result from one
thing-yiz-the want Of patriotic devotion
70 the Union. Maryland comprehended
the great truth, and abolished Slavery. and
affirmed the amendment of the Constitution
ofthe United States. Missouri has done the
same, and Kentucky will probably follow
suit or if she does not she will become a
monument of her own folly-a monument Of

the United States, gives Gov. Cannon's
message, and remarks =
"Of course, tho Legislature will disre.
gard and defy this appeal for the majority
is Democratic, and Slavery-in Delaware
as elsewhere-is the beings end and
aim of the base counterfeit which proianes
the name of Democracy. Almost any
sober, reputable Democrat will now tell
you; u am opposed to Slavery; but /
believe in letting every State decide for
itself" Well here is Delaware with a
Legislature that might abolish Slavery H
it would, or might ratify the Constitutions
Amendment; but it will do neither, be-
cause its Democratic majority knows that
it owes its ascendancy to Slavery and 10
nothing else-that, but for Slavery. tbis
