COTTON ARTICULATION,

Ii is reported that immense quantities oil
cotton are being bought up on the plantations
throasboat the South By Nnrthern specula-
tors. These purchases are being made by
heavy capitalists, and by companies organ-
lied for the express purpose Of buying up the
cotton and holding on to force rise. in the
price.
We think there can be but little risk in tie
investment. Cotton has fallen below the lin
it Of the actual cost of production, and, in
consequence, many of the cotton growers Of
the South have been broken up, and all have
been embarrassed and discouraged. The
prospects nov ars very gloomy indeed. and
there is but little indication or preparation
for cotton growing ia the South during the
coming season.
Hence, with so poor show for next yeal
season, and all the cotton of the present sea.

The Dayton Ledger, the home organ of

ing defeat of the Democracy, at the special
election in the Eighth Congressional District
of Ohio, on the ground that the party bad
80 recently rapudia.ed ysllandigban. II
says:
The manner in which AR. Naliandigham was
treated by the Legislature, we predicted at the
time, has had the effect of chilling tho srdor Of
the Democratic masses. Had Mr.. VAilandighan
been elected Senator there is no question but the
Democratic vote in the Eighth District would

truckers to the expediency dodge.

IT IL said tina. the delay in making the ap-
preparation for the purchase Of Russian Amer.
les, is due to the ''chain-lightning' bill. The
case is put thus:
When Secretary Seward vaa negotiating
With the Russian government for the pur-
chase OF Alaska, there Was considerable cor
respondence between Washington and st.
Petersburgh, in which the cable telegraph
was used The bin OF the cable company for
this service amounts to about $4,000, and
Russia is Of opinion that this country
should pay them. Mr.. Seward declines 10 DC
20, as he considers the charge not proper
one. The appropriation for the purchase o.
the territory is therefore held in allegiance b,
tho House Committee on Foreign Affairs
At the instance Of Secretary Seward 1t n
said, until Russia sees lit TO offer 10 pay tbs
whole or part of these charges.
Since we've got to pay for the rain, hail
fogs, mud, frost, and thunder of that delight
full territory, il is no more than fair that Rus
STA should pay for the lightning.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT. We are often
asked why it is that the proposed mon
umeut 70 our fallen braves has never
been erected in orr city. We can give
no good reason, unless it be that the
project was monopolized by IA certain
few at the start, which so disgusted the
rank and file that they would not give
it their countenance--s necessary to
the success of the undertaking. In
many other cities and towns monu-
ments of this sort have already been
erected, either at private or public ex-
pense, and Elizabeth should not be be-
hind her sister cities in any testimony
of respect to the memory of those who
gave their lives for their country We
trust a move will be made after the
holidays by soldiers who enjoy the re-.
spect and confidence of the people, and
that once started, they will not cease
i'll their efforts. but push the enterprise
to a speedy and successful eonsumma-
ton. This matter must be neglected
no longer. The cornerstone must be
laid July 4, 1863.

Az IrEt WHICB EVERY MAN SHOULD
READ We have all OF us probably
met with instances in which a word
uaellessly spoken against the reputa-
ton Of woman, has been magnifed
by malicious minds until the cloud has
been dark enough to overshadow her
whole existence. To those who are ac-
customed not necessarily from bad mo-
lives. but from mere thoughtlessness
to speak lightly of ladies, we recon-
mend these ''hints" as worthy of your
consideration
Never use II lady's name in an i'm
proper time, or in mixed company.
Never make assertions about her that
you think untrue, or illusions that you
/ feel she herself would blush to hear.
When you meet with men who do not
scruple to make use of IL woman's name
in reckless and unprinciplcd manner,
shun them, for they are the worst
members of the community men lost to
every feeling of humanity. Many Il
good and worthy woman's character
has been forever ruined and her heart
fbroken by a lie manufactured by some
villain, and repeated where it should
not have been, and in the presence of
those whose little Judgment could not
deter them from circulating the foul
and Dragging report. A SANDER is soon
propagated, and the smallest thing de-
rogatorSo of IA womans character vii fly
on the wings of the wind, and magnify
as it circulates until its monstrous
weight crushes the poor unconscious
victim. Respect the name of a woman,
for yonr mother and sisters are women
and as you would have the fair names
unembittered by the slanderer's tongue
heed the i'll that your own words may
bring upon the mother, sister, or wife
Of sour fellow creature.

LOVING AND HATING. If Won love,
love more. Ii you hate. hate less.
Life is too short to spend in hating any
one. Why war against "A mortal who
is going the same road with us Why

Your hands may be hard, but your
heart need not be- Your forms may

ace for care, the cottage for love. Not
that there is no love in the mansion ;
but somehow, if we were not very case

Delaware College.

MEssRs. EDIToRs Being at Newark,
few days since, made use of the oppor-
tunity to visit the old building once known
as Delaware College. My heart was pain
ed at the sight of the wretched state Of
this once noble. and honored Institution.
Ruin stsrcs US in the face from every side.
and in the buildings and through the
grounds, everywhere is presented the same
want of care and attention. The rooms.
which were once the college homes,1
of the students, are now filled with dirt
and debris the plaster is falling from the
ceilings the paper hangs in strips from
the walls; the doors are broken from their
hinges, and but few of the windows eau
boast of glass. Within the So ely Halls,
the spectacle is even more saddening, for
these =" halls" were once the pride and de-
light of the students, and the subjects Of
great emulation and rivalry between the
members of the two societies. Now the
carpets are covered with dirt, the desks
and shelves of the libraries are broken,
and the books are tumbled in kind Of
chaotic mass upon the floors. tt@t iF
Is there justifable reason why these
things should be so? Is it because the
State of Delaware is not able to support
college, or do Delawareans lack interest in
institutions of learning? We do not be-
lieve that either of these is the true cause
of the present neglected condition of our
college. Our Legislature, at its last ses-
sion, accepted Z" the grant of land for edu-
cationaf purposes from Congress, and pas
sed an act to establish State "a Agricul-
tural College," accepting, as its location,
the old Delaware College grounds and
buildings, as free gift, from the hands
of the former Board of Trustees, provi-
ding at the same time, for the completion
of the Board by appointments by the Cow
ernor of the State These appointments
his Excellency hastened to make, and
those who were interested had right to
suppose that the college would soon be.
re-opencd, and RECOMMENDED, on a surcr
foundation. Thus far our hopes and cx-
pectations have all been disappointed;
there has been absolutely nothing done.
The Trustees have not even thought it
necessary to call a meeting, and to all ap-
pearances the college is as far from resu-
scitation as ever. The people of Della
ware have a right to expect better things
from those gentlemen. They accepted the
trust, and we have right to expect them
to execute it, and to put forth their strong.
est efforts to vindicate and maintain the
honor of our State in this respect, and if
they cannot give the required time and
attention to this subject that is necessary.
they should resign and give place to men
who can. .. A DELAwAREAN.,,,,

of many thousand kinds, how infallible is
the accomplishment of the promise, worked
into their organization, that their seed
shall not perish. Left exposed and help
less, their young are guided to their hid
den homes and led to their proper food and
covered over from harm until their day is
accomplished, and then are brought back,
not in winter, to find the earth wrapped
with snow, but in the spring. when the
sun awaits and tender vegetation is ready
to receive the deposit of the young life
within them.
Shall we not trust God? Shall human
parents fear to leave their young to His
care? viii not He, who cares for locusts
care for the children of His people? Shall
we fear to 60 down into the earth when
our time shall Gomez Cannot He who
brings out the locusts after seventeen
years burial, bring us forth when our time
shall be accomplished ? Why DOVE dread
that we shall emerge into gloom and sad
ness? Are we not better than many To-
