Two OF the gallant officers Of the
Confederate Brigadicrs" were in the
barber shop being shaved when the
Combs tragedy occurred. 1t was
there they first smelt the smoke OF
battle and saw fellow man breathe
his life away weltering in a pool of
his own hearts blood. II was there
they first saw the fash that carried
the leadeu messenger OH Its GRAND of
death, and heard the dying groans Of
the victim. 1t was well perhaps that
they should be schooled TO such scenes
before they were called upon 10 face
danger oil the field of battle. II was
well that their courage should be
tested in advance, that they should
have an opportunity TO display their
tact and sagaciiy as commanders.
The scene was an exciting one, bull
lets were whzzing through the air,
the loud reports. thci smoke OF
powder, aud the BARRIERS gliitering
razors all helped to make tho room
seem like n miniature battle field, aud
the brave soldiers with the sagacity
of veterans, though taken completely
by surprise, were cool and seli-pos'
sessed enough to beat hasiy re-
treat. One of them bore of with the
BARRIERS lathcr upon his face, while
the other by a funk movement re-
treated TO the rear with only one side
of his hair cut. This little episode
shows that these officers will displa.
wisdom enough not to allow tbeil
meu to be sacrificed on the battle
field.

after the marriage the invited guests
repaired to the residence of the

of magniiicence that would do a
queen honor. The display of every
thing was magnificent possessing the

gentleman aud n thorough business
man, and seems one of the most hap
py souls at his fate ever knew, and
might say of the poet. Now
May happiness their brows enshrinc,
May virtue he their guide;
May angels part their paths to peace,
And over them preside.
On this occasion were many from a
distance, vicing with Bellcview's
angelic hosts, making this one lof the
most delightful occasions that has
occurred in society there for many
year. Thus will Bellcview be

of one whose conversation has al
ways been pleasant, manner afiable,
and whose voice could ut all times be
heard, aud reminding one only OF
the tingling of dew-drops npon sill

bling of the nightingale. May their
future life be ono laden with happi-
ness, and the angelic hosts watch over

md whys Because the laws Of those
States having been enacted since the era ,
of national freedom set in, are fair, just
and equitable, bearing alike upon'aii
protecting all, and making no distinc'
ton between man and man. Let Della
ware instead Of locking up her constl'
tuition and throwing the keys away
blot it out, and adopt that ofone Of tho
prosperous Western States, or even
that Of one Of the lately recon
structed States of the South, and
then will the eyes Of the immigrating
masses be turned towards her. 1t Is a
mistake to say that We are slandering
the people of Delaware, unless our op-
position to Bourbonism, and our hatred
Of oppression is construed to mean
SANDER. Let Delaware repeal her slave
code, improve her school system, en-
courage agriculture, commerce, manu-
factures and other industries more, and
aristocracy loss lot her administer her
laws fair and equitably, Furnishing a
white man Just as readily for crime as
black man, and then all these so call
ed ISLANDERS both inside and outside of
the State will cease.
The "Delawarean" in alluding to our
articles says: "They are certainly very
nauseous to the solid and substantial
portion of the people of the state."-
Perhaps they are. We never stopped
to consider that. We never thought
about who our articles might please OF
displease. We never considered the duty
of an Independent newspaper to bow a
supple knee before the shrine of wealth
and aristocracy. Wenevsr thought about
it being our duty to withhold the
truth, because of the high or exalted
position of some nabobs in society; mol
did we ever conceive it to be our duty
to take a stand against the humbles
in the State. In the REPUBLICAN, thu
poorest man in Delaware will find 1
friend, be his skin white or black, an'
until the unjust and discriminating
laws which deface our statute books ar
made more to conform to the spirit ofpro
gress and reform; and justice is admin
istered alike to all, we expect to so OF

We wosLD ASK the "Every Evening"
again, how about that circulation
We do'not propose to drop the subject
here, though the "Every Evening"
like a spoiled, petted and poutty child
has resolved to not notice us any more.
When we knew we had 5000 circulation
and stated that fact we were called
liars time after time, and when at last
goaded to desperation, the "E. E."
challenged us for ar investigation into
this business of circulation, we prompt.
ly accepted the challenge giving all the
odds in favor of the "Every Evening"
editor. Though making that challenge,
and though We promptly accepted it,
he has no. either personally or by his
committee called upon us nor made any
investigation. On the contrary he has
pretended to become offended at our re-
port of drunken fracas at Market
street saloon, in which he was one OF
the principals, and he now makes that
as an excuse for not recognizing us any
further. Most intelligent people will
look upon this as very tlmsy excuse
and very small hole for large editor
to creep out a.. This does not lessen
our circulation, neither does it incre ase
his. They are yet relatively the same,
and as the editor Of the "Every Even
ing" has thrown down the gauntlet
and proposed an investigation, we in
s.st that it should be carried out. Our
press room is open all the time and NJ
impodimeut will be placed in the way
of full and complete investigation
This is due to us, because the editor o
; the "Every Evening" has said 50 ottel
that we lied, and now We simply wan
+ to prove by his own agents and wit
, nesses that we have been truthful.
4 the investigation is not made We shal
feel that we have been as completely
e vindicated as if it had been made, an
d hereafter the burthen of untruthful
a ness must rest on the other side.
