An TXDinusatfOn.

In our letter from New Castle yester-
day, an item appeared rejecting severe
ly upon Mrs. Dillin, who we do not
know, but who is represented to us by
persons, in whom We have the fullest
confidence, az being the wife of a
worthy and respectable citizen. Though
the article was not in the handwriting
of our regular correspondent, we
thought it might have been written by
another person at his request.
We were not aware that there was
anything wrong in the letter until this
morning, when our cores pond-nt came
over from New Castle, and informed us
at he knew nothing about the article,
and that he, az well as ourselves had
been IMPOSED upon hy some malicious
person in order to wound the feelings
and injure the reputation of Mrs. Del
lin to crafty some personal animosit,
or grudge he had against her.
We regret very much that We have
been deceived and that Mrs. Dellin
should be SO misrepresented, and W.
checrfully make this statement, hop
ing that it will be satisfactory to al
concerned. In the meantime We hope
to find out who this dcceiver and wan
ton libeller is.

New ORGANIZATION.

A meeting Of ladies and gentlemen
will be held in the lecture room CT the
Wilmington Academy, ,saville building,
on Wednesday evening, the 9th inst,
for the purpose of forming literary
and musical organization. The inten-
ton il to have the exercises consist of
defamation, vocal and instrumental
music. debates, dialogues, &c. We
hope the effort to inculcate greater
love for these accomplishments will
prove successful, as they are far more
commendabls than card playing and
other questionable practices that have
been introduced in some circles in or.
der to pass the time pleasantly.

The sugar Rect.

Arrangements are being made by the
Beet Sugar Company and the commits.
sion of this State to distribute among
the farmers who may wish to engage
in TIE culture Of the Sugar beet, a
aaantity Of the best quality Of seed
Should premiums be offered as expect
cd, the growing of the bset can not
fail to prove profitable to those who are
so fortunate ns to receive them, while
nothing will be lost by those who fail
in the competition as the roots for f1ed
will be worth more than the cost of
their growth, even if the project of
making sugar should not prove sue
cess. 1t is to be- hoped however that
we can make sugar in Delaware as we'll
as they can in France, and that mum,
her of factories will be erected before
many years elapse, in the different
sections of our State.

Tho New Court House.

The special committee appointed by
the City Council to confer with the Levy
Court in regard to the selection of a
site for the new Court House, have been
notified that the building committee ap-
pointed by the Court, will visit this
city on Monday next for the purpose
OF comforting with them. Several sites
have been named by different citizens,
but that at Tenth and Market streets
seems to be the most popular, and as
Council has already expressed a prefer
ence for it, we think there can be no
doubt of its selection.

Break Down.

As Joel First AID Capt. Samuel John
son were riding down Jefferson street,
between Fifth and Sixth streets, yester-
day evening, one Of the front axletrees
Of the buggy gave way, letting them
down with slch force as to precipitats
them head foremost to the ground,
scratching MIR. Frist's face slightly and
damaging slightly one Of Capt. John
sens arms. Happily the horse
stopped Immediately and they thus
escaped further injury. Mr.. Frist inn
mediately sent word to the carriage
shop, corner Of Seventh and Shipley
streets, and two young men went up,
tied on a wooden axle on which they
placed wheel, and conveyed the buggy
to the shop for repairs.

HAnQUet.

Arrangements ars being made togive
banquet to the members of the hesis-
lature, Lsvy Court and City Council, at
the Clayton House on Thursday after
noon. So long as the cost COMES out OF
private purses the citizens generally
will not object to such enjoyment, hut
the public purse must not be obtruded
upon for any such purpose. This conclu-
sion is warranted by the opposition
that was manifested TO the cost Of the
banquet given on the completion Of the
Cool Spring Reservoir coming ont Of the
City Treasury and consequently adding
to the taxes which were considered to
he oppressiye,
