She was glad enough to get that, for her
debtor refrained from bringing in a counter

ny Of the enemy during the war. The prin-
cipal OF this debt was obtained through the

More New State Geography Peninsula ar
Consultations.

from the ~. y. Times.
The map p-makers must be in an agony of
suspense just now. Every month brings some
new project OF State union or State division.
Texas has divided itself, and Tennessee
threatens to do as much, while the three
peninsulas Of Delaware, Florida and Michigan
are thinking both of dividing and Of rounding
TO States adjoining. .-......
The Delaware project is the latest among
proposed peninsular consultations. 1t oon-
templates forming, as we understand, new
State, to include all the peninsula lying be-
tween Chesapeake Bay and the ocean, COM
piisipg all of Delaware, Eastern Maryland,
and the two Virginia counties of Aooomao and
Northampton which tip the peninsula. The
difficulties in effectipg this consolidation are
political, while its geographical proprieties
are evident. Delaware, no doubt, would like
to absorb the peninsular territory, which
would bring her more than double and nearly
treble her present domain; and the airs Of
superiority she would then give herself over
poor little Rhode Island would be sstonish-
ing. Little Rhody might be forced in cheer
self-defepse to annex Connecticut or Massa-
chu setts.
MEANWHILE two other peninsular projects
are progressing rapidly. That is to say, the
Wisconsin Senate has already given assent
to the formation of a new peninsular State
(to be called, probably, Superior or Ontona-
RO0) out Oh NOrLn0ru WlbOOu5lu anu MlOui-
gan, while that of the Assembly, and of the
Michigan Legislature, and then of Congress
are said to be probable. In the Florida penin-
sula, progress is making to join the western
part of the State to Alabama; and we would
suggest that the best thing for the eastern
part will be to return the compliment forth
with by joining itself to Georgia. In that way
the internal brawls of the little State could bs
settled off-hand. .r 81. "a,
Itmay be suggested that Delaware could
not do better than to join Maryland, taking
the two odd counties of Virginia with her.
But Delaware ia one of the original thirteen
States, and we must not lose their identity
though we have often divided off portions OF
them-nor even their names. We want
s'thirteen stripes" on our flag still-''not a
stripe," as Webster said, "erased or pol
luted." So, as the mountain Of Delaware
cannot go to the Mahomet of Maryland, the
Maryland Mahomet should go to the noun
tain-taking along with it, as We have said,
the two trans-C Chesapeake counties OF Vir'
einia, together with the disputed oyster-beds,
and, if need be, Ex-Governor Wise.
