Delta explodes the bit of literature which appeared recently in the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Times purporting to be founded on a love and matrimonial affair in which Hon. John Slidell and Capt. Wilkes figure as rivals for the same fair hand. The Delta says: "Mr. Slidell came to Louisiana in 1824 or '25, and Capt. Wilkes went into thMr. Slidell came to Louisiana in 1824 or '25, and Capt. Wilkes went into the naval service from North Carolina perhaps about the same period. Mr. Slidell married his wife about 1840. She is a Creole lady, and Capt.
