AN ATLAS or DELAWARE.

AT last we are TO have Il map of the city
of Wilmington, and also OF the entire State
of Delaware. Messrs. Beers y Co., of Phila-
delphiu, have shown us-through the polite
ness of Mr.. Upham, their canyassing agent
drawings of portions Of the surveys already
made of Wilmington city, Brandywine Hun
bred and village, and the town Of New
Castle. They are very pretty and artistical-
ly colored, and accurately marked in all the
minutia OF roads, streams, railways, farms,
and other matters which can be of the least
interest to the people generally
These drawings are on scale OF com
lleteness hitherto unapproaehed by any
similar attempt at map-making for this State,
and will when examined, command not only
the admiration of our citizens. but also their
most hearty and generous patronage Every
county in the State will be given by hun
dreds, and every hundred by villages, dis
tricts, towns, &C., separately colored anC
distinctly outlined, and every point of loca
interest plainly marked, giving size, distance
population and whatever else of lmportauc,
may pertain TO the locality represented.

In the political line it is quite amusing to
see our reconstructed friends brushing up
their Unionism, trying TO get hye dollars
per day to register the voters now that they
realize tho fact that they will have TO do AZ

were emancipatod IN 1868, but the great bulk
of the white population of the south were
not emancipated from the leaders OF politics
