The Abandoned Bnrque.

HER CREW PHOBABLf SAVED.
1t was briefly noted in Mondays COMMERCIAL
that an abandoned barque had been picked up
and brought to New Castle The vessel was
boarded by E. J. Qullian mate, and James Quill
ian seaman, from the Sch. Jos, p. COnegys, of
Frederick, and taken into the Breakwater, whence
she was towed to New Castle by the Tug Amer
lea.
All the time the vessel was boarded there was
no one on board. hen was found alive in a
chicken COOP showing the vessel had not been
long abandoned.
The cabin was in confusion, all the clothing
and beds having been removed. On tho table
was a quantity Of g hard tack" and corned beef,
an untouched meal, wine bottles and sardine
boxes were scattered about in profusion. In the
cabin were four stuffed seat rocking chairs evil
IDENTIFY freight. The vessel now lies at the coal
wharf and is in charge of Deputy Collector
Aydelotte 1t is believed that her cargo consists
OF Logwood, Coffee, wines and liquors.
The above facts are from our correspondent at
| New Castle.
On inquiry of the Custom House officers OF
| this port we learn that the vessels name is the
| Idodi Cayenne of Bordeaux and that she halls
| Maracaibo and is believed to be laden with cof-
| fee and hides. In the cabin was found a letter
of direction from Capt. Norton, of the steam
ship Crescent City giving directions as to signals
/ &c, in case the hawser seemed likely to part,
showing that the steamer had had the vessel in
| tow.
In the New York Herald of yesterday the ar
rival of Crescent City is noted, with an extract
| from her log showing that OH the 18th inst, 81
miles South of Barnegat she took off the crew OF
| the barque Inez, CBritish), from Maraicaibo tc
| New York, she being in sinking condition. The
Crescent city had previously had the barque il
| tow.
It seems altogether probable that this was the
same vessel, as there is no mention of the steam
er taking another in tow, and the letter found ii
the barques cabin shows she evidently had thin
one in tow.

IT SUMMONS coLoRED AID IN KENT COUNTY, MD
The Freeman's Journal, of Chestertown, pub
fishes spirited account Of the latest dodge Of
the desperate democracy of Kent county, Md.
1t seems, from its report, that on the 18th ins
there arrived in that town, on the steamboat
Iiumpeter, from Baltimore, the notorious col
ored democrat, Waters, of that city, and another
traitor to his race, named Sorrel. They were
taken in charge by the White Democrats. AT
10 that evening meeting was held in the barber
shop of Dick Reed, of that place, another color
ed Democrat; and it was addressed by Waters
and a colored democratic club, consisting of Dic
Reed and presided over by Dick Reed, was or.
ganized. They also organized similar club in
Quaker Neck, and the White Democrats now say
:" All is not lost yet, here in Kent"
Yet this Democracy" is only divided from
the enthusiastic White Democracy of Kent
county, Delaware, by an imaginary line

A GAME AT MAGNOLIA.

A GAME MAGNOLIA.
MEssRs. EDITc Rs "A game of base ball was
"Fleetfoot," Of Frederick, and the Magnolia, "
of Magnolia, on the grounds of the latter the
former winning. Under ordinary circumstances
the defeated may very properly rejoice with his
victorious rival but when defeat grows out of
case, a word Of explanation may not be out of
place. Permit me to say, of the above named
game, that the defeat of the 'Magnolia" club
was by no means the result of fair playing
We knew nothing Of the contemplated visit to
our grounds of the Fleetfoot Club, until their
arrival when, being too late to notify our players,
a game was played on our part by totally mex
perienced men, and consequently resulted in our
defeat. We had no objection to their success,
but think it unfair they should herald their
when 30 unfairly achieved. Yours, truly,
A MAGNOLIA MEMBER.

FURTHER CENSUS RETuRNs-Twenty.five out

complete than from any other. The total NUM-
her Of names reported is 114,934, against 1O2, Oil
from the same place in 1S60-an increase of
little over IL per cent. The city of Wilmington
| and New Castle together show a population of
81. 7Oi, against 2I,726 by the last census-a gain
of IL, 97s, which not only exhansts the increase
of the State, but shows a falling off Of 952 in
| the remainder of the State. -
The subdivisions not yet reported are Milford
and Mispillion, in Kent county, and Cedar Creek,
| in Sussex county. These, by the last census,
had population in the aggregate 70, Of $500, and

Der this wear, with perhaps gain sufficient to
falling off in the s y It.. outside of the Gty

vary far from the official report when the returns
