.Rer. Tr Wilson's Lcclnro.
We listened with pleasure last night
t) a highly interesting and entertaining
address upon the subject of ''Courage"
,from the Rfiv. Dr. Wilson, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church ia this city.
The lecturer was very happily introduced
by the President of the Association, Mr.
Charles II. Robinson, who declared that
he claimed to be a modost m m notwith
standing his frequent appearance before
the public But another mat-Scr which
seemed to distress the worthy President,
and which be alluded to in bi3 introduc
tory-reinark&r foci .tbi. hewas
afraid the audience might expect the
same amount of eloquence from him that
was listened to from the Hon. Geo. Davis
on the occasion of Dr. Deems' lecture,
when Mr. Davis performed a similar part
which devolved upon the speaker now.
But added the speaker while it is my
duty and pleasure to introduce to you the
Rev. Dr. Wilson, I am sure that he needs
no introduction to a Wilmington audi
ence." Dr. Wilson then came forward
and began the delivery of his lecture
upon the theme already mentioned, ne
fir3t proceeded to give the origin
and derivation of the word "courage,"
which he asserted came from the French
and Latin languages. After tbi3 histo
rical insight into the origin of the Word,
the distinguished divine led his audience
on into an interesting discourse, upon
this theme, in which he defined true
courage, manly courage andFheroic cow
duct. Noble self-sacrifice, when pesti
lence and famine, disease and danger are
faced at the same time, by administer
ing to the wants of the sick, suffering
and dying, was described as a courage
sublime in its nature. Florence Night
ingale's visit to the loathsome prisons
where she administered to the wants of
suffering humanity, was commented on
in beautiful terms. The brute courage,
which was mere animal instinct, was
likewise illustrated by drawing a picture
of a column of troops charging a fortress.
Bat a courage that wa3 grand and sub
lime was instanced by referring to the
charge of the brave six hundrad at Bal
aklava, which the eloquent speaker de
scribed as an act standing unrivalled in
the history of any country. If it be not
too presumptions, we can suggest to the
reverend gentleman right here, that he
can find several instances of a courage
more sublime and enduring in the histo
ry of the late war in the army of North
ern Virginia. We can point tho distin
guished lecturer to the bloody heights of
Gettysburg, and thfe hard fought fields
of Chancellors ville, and the Wilderness
besides numerous other instances, duringl
the four " years of strife, in verification
of our assertion. The Six Hundred
made the charge and retreated.
Other commands have charged and
though subjected to a withering fire
after gaining their position, held it for
hours, until ; in one instance a com
mand of nearly 300 muskets, dwindled
down or melted away under the galling
fire of the enemy by being killed and
wounded until all but a bakers dozen
were, scattered bleeding and dead upon
the ground. It takes less courage to
make a charge than to receive one, so
old soldiers think, and say. But the
Reverend Doctor's lecture was consider
ed an admirable one, and as we said in
the beginning, a highly entertaining
discourse, to which the large audience
present,listened with profound and silent
attention, only interrupted by the fre
quent outbursts of applause.
Stolen Property Recovered.
On Tuesday night last a ycry fine
mocking bird and cage was stolen from
the piazza of Captain John Barry's resi
dence oh Sixth between Red Cross and
Campbell streets, A search was insti
tuted for the bird and cage and last
evening it was ascertained that the
steward of the steamship QulfStream
had bought a bird and cage answering
to the description of the one stolen from
Capt, Barry. The steward was approch
ed about the matter when he stated that
he bought the biid and cage from a color
ed man for $5.00. He willingly gave
the stolen property up to iU rightful
owners, but is unable to give the name
of the person he got it froraor to-u
tify the man. ;

H- T7AREOCK.
A rfobo Act.
Yesterday afternoon a little white boy
who wa3 unable to swim, swung into the
river on a slack rope which was tied to the
wharf and to a boat near by, and . gradu
ally sank' as his weight pulled the boat
in and gave the rope more slack. He
had gone under twice, and was sinking
for the third time, when Master Freddie
Bissinger discovered the di owning boy,
and plunged in catching hold of him just
as he disappeared under the water, and
with the assistance of a man got the lit
tle fellow safe ou shore. It was a noble
act on the part of theOMgrescuer for he
ran the risk of loosing his own life in try
ing to save that of his comrade. .
Look out for Her.
Two or three weeks ago a woman and a
little girl made their appearance in this
city and presented themselves aa worthy
objects of charity, and collected . a
snug little sum of money from gentlemen
of this city. The woman has since been
seen handsomely dressed in . silks and
satics attending festivals and dances.
We have been told she has several very
handsome suits of silk with gloves, hats
etc., to correspond, and that the girl now
daily begs going from house to house.
It would be well for our citizens to re
fue to assist her in future as she is in no
way an object of charity.
Rankm Hall Professor Fanning.
The reception last night at Rankin
Hall, given by Mr. T. C. Fanning and
his patrons, wa3 well attended and re
sulted in a success for the object contem
plated by the movers in the undertaking.
The little folks as well as those of older
growth who were present at . the recep.
tion, seemed to have a hearty good time
But how could they help it under such
excellent management as that of Profes
sor Fanning? By the way, the Professor,
we regret to say, took his departure
on the steamer to-day for Fay
etteville, whither he goes to open
a
school on Monday next. Mr. Fanning is
no stranger to our people, having lived
among them some twenty-five or thirty
years ago. He only comes now to re
new the acquaintance so pleasantly be
gun then. We trust the Fayettevilliaus
will accord the Professor tho same
cordial . welcome so characteristic of
that hospitable people.

An Anniversary.
To-day i3 the anniversary of one ot the
most disastrous fire3 that ever occurred
in Wilmington. On Sunday, April 30thj
1843, about 10:30 a. m., the alarm of lire
was sounded, the wind blew almost a gale
from the South and the flames swept
every thing in their course, commencing
on the North side of tne alley next North
of the present National Bank building,
From this point every house on Front.
Water and Nutt streets were destroyed
save a few buildings lyiDg between Prin
cess and Chestnut streets, on West side
of Front street, and two othcra nearly
opposite the4telegiapii office. The confla
gratiou extended to the extreme North
ern limits of the city, sweeping every
thing in its fiery course consumming rail
road depot, offices, machine shops and
ware houses, together with a large quan
tity of naval stores on the wharves at the
depot. Such was the rapidity 61 the de
structive element, that in less than three
hours after the first alarm was given ev
ery house in the line described was razed
to the ground.
The event transpired on Sunday as be
fore stated and caused great panic among
our citizens. Many persons rushing to
their homes from their respective places
I of worship,'; found them enveloped in
flames; in fact many individuals narrow
ly escaped with their lives from the burn
ing buildings, i There, was only one lHe
lost, however, that of an old colored wo
man who had succeeded in getting out of
her heuse but was enveloped in flames
from surrounding buildings and perished
in her yard. So we arc informed by one
if our oldest citizens.
