said, 81 am colonel, and he ordered

what he meant by this proceeding. He
said he was going to Vicksburg under
Crosby's orders; asked him to de

way he told me that there we're 700
armed negroes and 800 on another
road, besides his men, and that Gen
eral Grant and Governor Ames were
in Vicksourg; that Crosby was in COM

his orders in writing. After we had
ridden some distance l told him if he

came frantic. and, showing a pistol,
said he would 60 or die. I tried to

ELECTION OF CITY oFFIoERs-PRospEoT OF pref
ny soUABBIE OVER THE VARIOUS POSITIONS
Special to the Commercial.
NEW CASTLE, DEL, March a.
Our people are beginning to look around them
for a suitable candidate to elect to the high and
honorable, if not lucrative, position of first May
or of the new City. When it was. known
that our charter had passed the Legislature
many eyes turned toward z. b. Vandeyer, ESD,
but that gentleman peremptoriy declining, IL
has become a matter of moment whom TO select.
1t is said there are several aspirants Tor the
Office, and the probability is there will be several
candidates. The Republicans, it appears, DO
not intend to make ticket, but want the demo-
Gratis to give them two members OF Coun-
Gil, and City Treasurer, while the Demo
Gratis are to take the Mayor, three members
Of Council and City Collector, thus putting IN
the field compromise ticket and one winch
10th parties could support This would present
the anomalous sight of Democrats being elected
to office by negro votes, and would be pretty
piece of business for Democratic city. The
election is to be held the second TUESDAY ID
April, and the way things now look, unless Inc
two parties make each their own ticket IN the
regular way, there will be some pretty squad
bling, as those who are excessively anxioui
for the high honor, do not seem to come up u
the requirements in every particular with thos'
whose special duty it seems to be to present
ticket, while those who ought to be presented
to the people for their suffrage, decline eh'
