They passed through several other towns in the same State, but cautiously refrained from making known their situations.--When they arrived in Kent county, Maryland, they disclosed the fact that they were refugees from Fort Delaware, and found plenty of friends and sympathizers. Mr. Cox says that on the night of the 3d of July the Secessionists of Middletown, Del., hoisted a Confederate flag on a pole which had been erected by the Unionists, and that early on the morning of the 4th the "Stars and Bars" were saluted with forty rounds by the supporters of the Abolition Government.
