No REPUBLICAN TICKET.-The Will
mington Republican gives the following
reason why no ticket was put in the
field: 1T has been definitely settled
now that the Republicans of New Cas-
tie county will have no ticket in the
field at the approaching election. The
reasons for this conclusion are first, that
through the assessment laws that MI
Bayard was actively instrumental IN
having passed, not less than 5000 Re
publicans are DISTINGUISHED, and second
that with a Temperance Reform ticket
IN the field one thousand more RepuD-

leaving not more than 5000 who would
vote a Republican ticket. The only
exception to the no-ticket declaration
Is that the Republicans may concen

WASHINGTON, January 30.-Ad-
jutant. General Drum has written a let
Ter to Chief-Signal-Oflicer Hazen in re-
gard to the recent cOurt-martial con-
vened at Fort Myer, in which he says
the Secretary of War instructs him
"to express his grave displeasure at
the conduct Of Lieutenant Greene, Of
the signal corps, who, he says, has
manifestly failed so far in his career to
comprehend the duties and response
bilities of commissioned officer and
to realize that the use Of harsh, in
sulting, and abusive language to-
wards men, who, from their po-
sition, could not reply to it,
strikes at the very root Of military
discipline, and evidences in an officer
so acting a deplorable want of self
control. which, if persisted in, would
demonstrate his utter untitness for
command. The Secretary Of
War also deems it his duty to repro
bate the rude and coarse manner in
which the officers composing the court
treated the counsel for the accused.
Such conduct is utterly unjustfable in
officers sitting in military courts in the
capacity Of Judges"

HALIFAX COUNTY.

lCorrespondence oftbe Richmond Dispatch !
SOUTH BosToN, Jan. 80, 1856.
This morning at an early hour the
residence Of Mr.. G. G. Darlington, at
Halifax Courthouse, was totally de-
stroyed by fire. The Courthouse being
some distance from South Boston, can
learn but little as to the particulars,
but am told that Mr.. Darlington lost all
his furniture except portion Of that on
the ground floor.
Mr.. Darlington is the acting sheriff of
the county, and while his heavy per-
sonal loss is bad enough, his deepest con-
Germ is due to the fact that many of his
official papers, which were kept up
stairs in his house, were burned. The
fire, which was accidental, originated
in the second-story, and before it was
discovered had made too much Roadway
TO be checked. In bedroom upstairs
were three young gentlemen, Messrs.
Charlie and Willie French, brothers Of
Mrs. Darlington, and Mr.. James Wsd-
lington, deputy sheriff. They were
aroused Just in time to escape from the
room, without clothing, as the roof fell
in on the beds they had occupied. In
addition to the house and furniture
some valuable jewslry and much cloth
ing were lost. Phil.
