Lost Lost Lost!
On every battle field
The hosts of Northern foes have won;
Our day at best is well nigh done,
And we are forced to yield.
Where has dear Jeffy gone
Alas we cannot tell;
Our President has left his seat,
And beat an ignohle retreat,
Aud bid his cause farewell.
Lost! Lost Lost!
Secession's central spot
The Yankee President liz here,
And keeps the few who stay in fear
o doleful is our lot
Twas sad enough to see
Our own loved Richmond fall;
But then that niggers should be first
Into our capital to burst,
o! that was worse than all!
Where Where? Where
Is our brave General Lee
Among the memories Oc the past -
His Richmond fight has proved his last,
And he was forced to flee.
Dim! Dim! Dim
Is the light of hope, we're thnkin';
Our cotton government now wanes,
We've got our trouble for our pains,
To be ruled by Abe Lincoln.
Oh how we swore,
That sooner than come hack
Into the Union, we would die =
But we've been forced to change our cry,
For Grant is Oh our track.
How like meteor, bright
But transient, was that host
Who swore 10 lead to victory,
Aud make us Independent, Free;-
But vain was that proud boast.
Help! Father Abra'm, help!
Thine crring children cry.
Our former proud Coniedcracy,
We own in deep humility,
Must slowly. surely die.
To DEATH! not victory,
Has that proud band been led;
Der our Cnniederacy its doom
Comes with its fearful midnight gloom,
We're dying, DYING, DEAD!

THE REJOICING rejoicing throughout
the country over the surrender of Lee and his
army has been Of the most extravagant churac-
ter In our own State the exultation has been
equal to the greatness of the news. In Will
mington on Monday business was generally
suspended, the fire companies paraded the
streets, and large crowds visited all the houses
where flags were not displayed and compelled
the occupants to show their "colors." Among
those visited were Hon. j. A. Bayard, L. F.
Bayard Chas B. Lore, Geo. r. Riddle, and
others In Dover and Camden the bells were
rung guns were fired, &C.
We understand that a general illumination is
to take place at Dover on Friday evening, tt
be engaged in by all parties. Hon. N. B
Smithers is to be one of the speakers.
With regard to our own illumination, w
hope it will be engaged in by all-from tn

sene by the barrelful, to the humblest indi
vidual who can raise a tallow dip

excitement in Delaware City, last Tuesday,
After biting several of his species, he crossed
the canal, to the farm of Mr.. G. Reeves, where
he bit dog and number of sheep He then
passed along the road, biting dogs and hogs,
when he dashed into the house, swapping at d
little child as he passed, and allowing the fam
lily barely time to close the door of the apart
ment in which they had hastily gathered.
After biting two dogs he passed on to Port
Penn, biting dogs, hogs and cattle. In one
instance he entered pen and bit hog until
it died. In short time afterwards he was
killed by one of the citizens. Great excite
ment was caused. throughout the neiehbor.
hood, and war Of determination will be car
ried on against the canine race for some time.

THE WAR NEWS.
Clayton. April 10, '65.
UNION.

The Union army in Virginia is still in camp
near Appomattox c. H., 43 miles east of
Lyncbburg. The rebels are preparing the
rolls, &C., required in the terms of surrender.
The number of general officers surrendered to
General Grant was 81, of whom one was a
General, three Lieutenant Generals, fifty Bri-
gadiers, and the remainder Colonels comman-
ding brigades The number of troops surren-
dered was from $4,000 to 100000
Refugees from Danvlle, as late as Wednes-
day, state positively that Stonemans column,
which was last heard from at Boone, Watauga
county, n. c., reached the Danville road on
Tuesday last, and commenced tearing up the
new track between Danville and Greensboro
The evacuation of Raleigh by the rebels is
reported by deserters and refugees who have
come within our lines at Goldsboro. Sherman
was expected to move direct on Weldon, and
johnson was to form junction with Lee.
General Sherman has reorganized his army.
The National Intelligencer expresses its Opin-
ion that the President will soon issue concll-
iatOry proclamation.
At the war Department, Monday, great
crowd assembled, and was addressed by Gen
eral Halleck, Mayor Wallack and President
Lincoln.
A plot to burn Newbern, n c., on the I'd,
was discovered. Several large buildings filed
with forage were fred by the aid of phosphorus,
but the flames were extinguished before any
great damage had been done. The bridge over
the Neuse river was set on fire at the same
time, but was saved A rebel officer has been
arrested in connection with the affair."
From Texas we have a report that we shall
soon have startling and gratifying news. 1t is
said that new Legislature, just from the peo-
pie, is to assemble, to decide the question of
independence or a return to the Union

The Late Gov. Cannon.

The following in Baptist cotcmporary, the
Examiner and Chronicle, seems to US at once
just and appreciative
The prudence, frmness, and patriotism of
Gov. Cannon, of Delaware, ranked him among
our ablest and most trustworthy magistrates,
and encouraged the hope that his adminlstra-
ton would lead to the redemption OF his State
from bondage and darkness. We all remem-
Der how recently the Delaware Legislature re-
jected the Constitutional Amendment; but
perhaps all do not know the fact, that such is
the backwardness of that State, that no regular
publication of its legislative proceedings has
erer been made. The few shareholders have
everything their own way, and no light reaches
the people.
We now learn. from a funeral discourse by
by Rev. Mr.. Cha plain, that he was a steadtast
and consistent Christian, and thus get new
light upon his character. He joined the Meth
odst Church in 1926 and soon became class
leader and exhorter, both of which offices he
held until his death. Religion" says Mr.
Chaplain, gave tone to his entire character.
He remarked to me more than once, | can
never do enough for the Church and the cause
of Christ for it is to the religion of Christ anC
the Church of God that | owe all have in a
temporal as well as spiritual point of view. -
Gov. Cannon was elected in 1861, and like
Gov. Hicks, of the adjoining State, will bt
sorely missed in this day Of divisions and re
construction.

THE KENT COUNTY (MD. RAILROAD The
citizens of Kent county, Md, are making eve
ry effort to have their railroad completed as
speedily as possible. The Kent Ne,os says:
The Delaware Legislature at its last session
acted with commendable promptness and friend
iness in passing an act Of incorporation to
company to construct Railroad to the Mary
land line, to connect with the contemplated
road through Kent county, and to terminate
either at Townsend, or within four miles of
that point, either way. This is all that the
friends of the road could ask 1t now requires
but general and liberal effort to complete this
road. 1t will not only open a new market to
us, and cheaper and facilitate travel, but its
effect will be to enhance the value of land from
five to twenty dollars per acre, according to its
location. There is no portion Of the county
but what will be benefited materially The
county is narrow and the line of the road cannot
be far from either side. It'll impossible now Ia
say where the line will be it will be located by
judicious and fair men, with the aid Of able
engineers, and only then can it be known
where the best route and terminus will be.

The English House of Commons, on March
l3, was engaged in protracted discussi ION Of
the question, whether after the suppression of
the Rebellion, the United States will go to war
with England, and what in view of such IA war
ought to be done for the defense of Canada.
Some speakers advised the Government, to do
the work themselves, stpulating for the repay
ment of the money when the Canadians can
afford it. Others advocated the withdrawal of
all the English troops of Canada as the best
means to preserve peace. Mr. Bright made
the very sensible remark that in the case of a
war between the United States and England,
the latter could not even think of holding Can
ada. The Government assured the House that
the relations between the two Governments
were entirely satisfactory.

TIE GREAT RUSSIAN TELEGRAPH-A pay
of americans have gone out to San Fran:i,cI
to superintend the building of the telegraph
line to where it is to connect Russia with
America by way Of Behring's Straits. The
wires of this great enterprise will extend from
St. Petersburgh east about 1000 miles, and pro-
badly by this time reach the mouth of the
AmoOr, on the Pacific The party on this
side are to extend the line along the Pacific
coast till it reaches Behring's Straits, across
which a submarine cable will be laid, when the
connection around the world telegraphicaly
will be complete. In the operations on this
side they will be aided by facilities extended
to them by the United States. Congress at
its last session directed the Secretary of the
Navy =" to detail for the use Of the surveys and
soundings along that portion of the Pacific
coast, both of America and Asia where it pro-
posed to establish the telegraph, one steam or
sailing vessel in his discretion, to assist in
surveys and soundings. laying down submerged
cable, and in transporting materials connected
Herewith. Whether the coast line will be
pursued strictly, or a new direction be taken
across the continent, as shorter and more
practicable line, through the great natural
basins or lakes stretching from Chicago to Bch-
ring Straits, is not yet determined. The fogs
along two thousand miles of the Pacific coast
are thought to be an objection almost as great
as of fifteen hundred miles Of submarine cable
Across the continent this objection would mot
exist.
