We published on Friday a report of the number of fires in this city during 1878 together with the number of times when the first water was thrown by each of the steamers, which seems to have given some offence to a few members of the fire department. We beg to state that the figures-were not ours, but that the statement was prepared and handed into us, as we stated, by a young friend who kept a record. It thera are any errors, therefore, we respectfully submit that they were not of our making. As a public journalist onr only desire was t j publish a correct statement and we most emphatically dis claim any design or intention otherwise But there are two sides to a question and there is another gentleman in tbe city who kept the record during the year ad he has promised U3 a full report from bis notes in time for to raTrDw'e issue of the Review.

LI'IHT 1-KFA.KTIv Y, WitMISO-rnN, N. U. Jan. 1, 1S79. J At a recent meeting of the active and honorary members of this company, to gether with the mernbera of its Veteran Corps, the undersigned were appointed , a committee to take into oonsuieration the question of perpetuating the organization. Afttr due consultation on tha. work be fore them, it was resolve.-1 to i-suc the fojlo wing Circular. , T the Citizens of Wilmington : fn the discharge of onr duty as a corii miltea ot the Wilmington Light Infantry, having under consideration measures to preserve its existence and vitality, we nave determined tn set forth to you some facts in reference to the organization and to couple therewith au earnest appeal foe countenance aDd assistance. While tbo history of thu coibpahy is familiar o nearly .all, and its name a household word to many among us, still we deem appropriate some reference thereto. Organized in 1853, for too flight years of its ante btUum. existence it was the pride of our city and held tbo first rank among the volunteer militia of the .btate. Embrac ing in its tanks the very fiowsr of our young chivalry, as might have been ex pected, at tbe t5rtt distant sound oi hostil ities, it was among the foremoBt to offer its fcer vices to the Governor ot the State. Entering service on the fifteenth day of April, 1661, it was not until the sad sur render at Appomattox that its energies were spent and its organization over whelmed in the general disaster. These four years of active participation in the field wrought many and varied changos-7-those in its membership,howsver,were due to the constant tide of promotion of itsold, well-drilled, disciplined aad comoeteut men to command fresh troops . which the emergencies of the times were cont.nually callmg toTth. itr waVa veryr nursery cf officers for the Confederate service, and we conscientiously believe that there' was scarcely a single non-commissioned officer or private who went with the command to Fori Caswell in April 18(51, and who eontinued in service, but that obtained some commission from tbe grade of Lieu tenant to that full Coiunel (of the last of which there were several)- ' ) iVith'sucn a' record s this, and with so honorable a corps of veterans renaming, n wonder, then, that the.e wtre repeaud a t jmts after the war to revie uiisieo.guu izatiou. it was not, however, until the 17-h of March, 1875, that, this was p;ima uently adcuuiplistied. For" nearly tour years his the present orgaUiZdtion struggled on amid almost overwhelming tiitticiiits, to maintain its peimAueucy, ttlicieucy, di ill and di cipline. By the wise piouqiive enactment of the Legislature, it has become a part of themilitary system, bviog em braced Within the itaie Guard. Jndtr the laws giving birth and effectiveness to this system, there t re certain requirements laid upon the individual companies. There is but one, however, which our preseut purpose renders necessary to mention. To retain the arms furnished by the b tat e, the active, effective membership must be kept up to a certain standard of memjers; and plainly speak ng, without soaie more generous couaionauco trom the citizens at targe, this is the rock upon which the present organization is likely to be wrecked. The sentiment of a great majority' of this free people is against large standing arm ies in ' times of peace aad in lavor of a well-appointed system of militia. And this the government of Noith Carolina is en deavoring successfully to provide ia tbe creation of its St:.te Guard. Domestic violence is likely to occur in certaiu con tingencies, which the strong area of mili tary power, perhaps, alone can quel:; and what more effective agency could we seek in such emergeuci-8 tiuu a vo unteer mil itia, well armed and disciplined, em bra cing the uest of our citizens 7 And the moral protectiveness of such organization extends itself ,to a community in all pe riods of its existence. Without elabora tion, we trust our citizens, of .all class s, will see and 'recognize the importance of protection to themselves in the continuance and perpetuity of well dis ciplined volunteer military companies, fostered and encouraged as they are by the laws of the State. j We, therefore, confidently appeal to onr citizens at large to give to the Wil-J mington Light Infantry that encourage ment of which it now stands in urgent need. We beg of them not ouly to recognize the practical fact of protection it offers, bat to cherish it as a matter of pride tathemselves. The immediate pur pose of this committee is not to solicit moneyed contributions, but to invoke a broad and generous interest in banal f of the company. The first and greatest cquirement 'S that its membership shall be swelled to seven ty-fi.ve or one hundred earnest, active men. in such an event, it would, bos only reach tbe highest grade oi efficiency, buk would f rove at once seu-eastaining. To . ibos representing onr business community; the class ot employers wewoald appeal to encourage tha young cuen, ia their employ to join iu ranks, and allow' tham opportunity for oceaiionaL garada and ether 6, 1879. NO. 287 duties. We spare less time from business than any commercial community in thi country, and that required for this pur pose could be readily accord'ed. Wc know that many young. ir.en would join tbe Wilmington Light Infant -y if tb necessary encouragement was given Lv employers. We would a'so'appeal to the youcg me? themselves to enroll their names, promis ing them a reasonable decree of pleasure and amusement, coupled with r.e-iltbfe1 exercise, habits of discipline and control aD-1 milch pleasant friendly intercourse. :;: .In conclusion, having s.et before yen the danger which threatens the existenct Ot the organization, wo beg a general aod united interest in its behaif, and confi dently trust that Wilmington. will not be cQntent in the matter o'f her military com panies ohe teLiud her less important sisters, ncr yet without an effort see one of her proudest institutions fade -from ex istence by reason of an apathetic iadifF-r-ence on t lie part of hjr citizens.
