DOVER, Jan. 20.
The workngmen of New Castle county should
be warned that the repeal Of the Attachment
Law is to be defeated by Democratic Lobby.
Let them watch and sec the proof of the fact
that the Democratic party Of Delaware is not
their friend. My positive conviction is-and
coming events will demonstrate its correctness
that every measure which may be introduced in
to the Legislature, at its present session, for
the advantage of the laboring people of New
Castle county, will receive its death-blow at the
hands Of the Democratic majority in the Legis-
latmt1. - -, ~. o...,.

Ir9ltt came down to WELD their mighty influence
with our grave Senators, to defeat the repeal
OF the odious attachment law, which passed the
House yesterday by such handsome majority
cannot say that their influence on the minds
or the Senators caused it, but an now credibly
informed, that they were given the information
by the presiding genius Of the Senate, that their
visit was unnecessary, for that body had alrea-
dy decided the fate of thesbill, and that mem
bers (all Democrats,) would vote against its
passage and only Senator Riddle in favor Of it.
The following is the full text of the repeal act,
as it passed the House:

A New Cemetery.

ALL-HALLows" s"-ExTESsIvE PURCHASE UNDER
CATHOLIC AUSPICES.
The crowded condition of the present Catho-
lie Cemetery, and its location 80 near the heart
oT our growing city, have compelled recourse to
the purchase OF other and larger burial grounds,
unt OF reach OF the city. The title to a large
10 acres, and located near Centre Station, on
the Wilmington S Reading Railroad, about Ave
niles from the city, has been acquired by Bish-
up Becker, and will be devoted to burial purpo-
res, under the name OF All-Halows Cemetery.
N act Of incorporation will be asked for. in the
Legislature at once, and the enterprise will
promptly proceed.
The location OF the new Cemetery is admira-
1ly adapted to the purpose it being high, roll
ing country, with a considerable amount Of fine
timber on the property. 1t il expected that
most funerals will go out by rail, and that the
expense will be less than that attending a

The emigrant ship North Fleet for Australia,
with 412 passengers, besides the crew, collided
with an unknown foreign steamship, in the chan
mel, last night, and was cut down to the waters
edge. Only s5 persons are known to have been

steamer paid no attention to the wreck, and pro-
ceeded onward, leaving the sufferers to their fate
A panic occurred among the passengers, who
on being reused from sleep, rushed to every
part of the vessel, refusing to obey the orders
of the Captain, who was compelled to fire on
them, wounding one person. Had they obeyed
orders, more would have been saved.

TOO MUCH MEMORY WORK,

The prime evil of the prevailing
method of teaching consists in the care
full cultivation Of the memory to the
neglect of the thinking powers. Com
mencing with the teachers, even of the
highest grade, down to the youngest
child in the school, there is an almost
slavish adherence to the mere language
of the text books Teachers do not
trouble themselves to study over the les
sons, to comprehend thoroughly their
full significance, but on the contrary
only too frequently go into the class
room and have to depend upon the book
in order to hear the lesson. In theory
this is not allowed, but in practice it is
pretty general. Such being the case,
the teacher, having no higher sense of
responsibility than the necessity of CO.
ing through certain form in order to
secure the quarters salary, is very well
content to find the scholar perfect in
the mere language of the technicalities
of the lesson.
The scholar, finding nothing further
required, is only too glad to perform the
paratively easy task of committing
SO many lines or paragraphs to memory,
leaving its comprehension severely alone,
or to follow blindly rules without any
pains to discover their scope and value.
AS consequence most school children
have their minds choked with dates,
facts, and the mere language of laws
and principles of which they have no
understanding whatever, and aside from
the routine of the text books know absc.
lutely nothing, and have not made their
own, by mental digestion, any apprecia-
BILE portion of the knowledge they have
spent so many hours in attaining.

FREE FIGHT.

On Saturday afternoon most dis
graceful and brutal fight took place at
the Singer hotel near Elizabethport
depot, between party of coal lockers,
(Modocs,) and two negroes. The fight
commenced in the hotel, the coal dock
ers being the aggressors. As soon as
possible the belligerents were ousted
from the hotel, and then the brutal and
fendish part was enacted. Some half
dozen coal dock men got one of the
negroes down and kicked him till it was
thought no life remained in him. In
the meantime the other negro, seeing
no chance Of saving his friend from SO
great a number, broke loose and ran
away pursued by five or six coal dock
ers, armed with their usual weapons,
stones, but he escaped. The fight was
witnessed by large number of law
abiding citizens, and it will be an easy
matter for the chief of police to find out
the guilty parties and bring them to
Justice.
