The following eloquent message is
taken from Attorney General Devens7
oration at the decoration of the Army
tuad Nary Monument at Boston-on
the 17th inst:' .
v, It is not to be expected that -opin
ion will be changedv.by edits, . even
when -those edicts are maintained by
force. The changes of opinion must
De gradual, and must be the effect of
that time which enables feeling to
subside and c the judgment 1 to act,
That the cause for
which thev have suffered sol much
.Will still be near 16 those who
have, fought for it, or with whom it
is associated by tender and affec
tionate recollections of those! whom
they have loved, who have fallen in
its defense, is to be expected. To
such sentiments and feelings' it is a
matter of indifference whether there
is defeat or success. They would ex
ist, indeed, even if -the reason and
judgment should concede the course
to have been unwise. , Certainly, wo
ourselves, had the war for the! Union
failed, would not the' less have be
lieved it just and necessary, nor the
less have honored the memory of
those engaged in it. When results
are accepted cordially, we can ask no
more, until the softening' influences
of tiue have done their work.!
; On the fields which were ploughed
by the fierce artillery the wheat has
been dancing fresh: and fair !in the
breezes of the summer that is gone;
and as the material evidences of. the
conflict pass away, so let each feeling
of bitterness disappear, as together,
both North and South, we strive to
render the Republic one whose firm
yet -genial ' sway shall protect with
just and equal laws each citizen who
yields obedience to the Constitution
in all its parts, both new and old, let
us endeavor to lift ourselves to that
higher level of patriotism which des
pises any narrow sectionalism, and
rejoices in a nationality broad enough
to embrace every section of the
Union, and each one of its people,
whether high or humble, rich or poor,
black or white. . f v i I
There is no division to-day among
the States of the Union such as ex
isted when J,he Constitution was
formed. In each and all the great
principles of liberty and equal rights
are the same, to be alike respected as
the only basis upon which the govern
ment can stand. Whatever may have
been the sorrows or the losses f the
war, there is no sorrow that cannot
find its. recoQpenst in . the added
grandeur and dignity of the whole
country. ;

yesterday, by Rev. Father M. S Gross, an
ounces the death, at Newark, New Jer
sey, at 10.50 o'clock yesterday morning, or
the Most Rev. Dr. James R. Bay ley, Arch
bishOD of Baltimore, a fact which is also
briefly mentioned in our telegraphic cbl-
umns. The intelligence was not altogether
unexpected, as a brief telegram published
in ouHast issue precluded any hope of his
ultimate recovery. The venerable Arch
bishop, who was 63 years of age, had been
an invalid for about four years, the illness
with which he suffered being Bright's dis
ea9e of the kidneys. Rev. Father Gross,
in imparting the : intelligence of the death
of the Archbishop, informed us of a fact
which is, perhaps, not generally ' known,
that he was a nephew of Mother Seaton,
the foundress of , the Sisters, of, Mercy,
at EmtueUaburg, Maryland. The funeral
ceremonies will take place on Tuesday of
next w cek.t ' the Cathed rat of Baltimore,
and his obsequies will be very imposing, as
it is expected that all the Bishops of tUe
Province of Baltimore and many of the
clergy will be present. . i

to the Archbishop of Baltimore io'conse

with the right of succession to the Arch See
of Baltimore, and'be will now receive an

Bishop Gibbons was to have arrived in

The Fire Yesterday Moraine.
The alarm of fire yesterday morning.
about twenty minutes to 1 o'clock, was
caused by the burning of a grocery store
and dwelling attached, the property of Mr.
Richard Fitzgerald, located on the south
east corner of Eighth and Cbesnut streets
The fire was first discovered in the store
part of the building, and from all appear
ances originated in the northwest corner,
Mr.' Hugh McDonald, who resides two
doors above, on Cbesnut street, waaaroused
by the cry of fire, and, upon discovering
its location, rushed put, jumped an inter
vening fence and shouted to Mr. and Mrs.
Fitzgeiald to save themselves, which they
had barely time to do, not being able to
save anything in their flight except a few
articles of clothing which they snatched up
as they hastily retired from the burning
building. When they awoke the room was
full of smoke and no doubt is entertained
that they would have beeu suffocated if
they had remaiued asleep a few moments
longer. V ' !- :V: " ;
The store and a portion ' of the dwelling
was of old material, lo which new addi
tions had been made from time to time,
making, a house, altogether, of considerable
size, and that portion of the building first
named burned like binder, so that when the
fire department, which was' exceedingly
pronfpt, arrived at the scene, the fire had
attained too much headway to admit of
saving any considerable portion of the pro,
perty. A few of the walls, with portions
of the roof, were left standing, but were
damsged to such an extent as to render
them of little or no service except for fire
wood. -",
Mr. Fitzgerald loses his entire stock, fur
niture, and everything contained in the
building, except a few trifling articles which
were thrown out at the back door. . ,
Fortunately the wind was at the north-
east,and there were no buildings nearer the
fire in that direction than the colored Pres
byterian church and session house, near
the corner of the opposite block. Had the
wind been blowing in an opposite direction
the entire block on the south side of Cbes
nut, between Eighth ,&d Ninth streets,
would no doubt have been destroyed, with
a probability that the flames would have
communicated to the", buildings on the op
posite side of the street.
There seems to be no doubt that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. In fact.
some pieces of charred lighlwood were
found yesterday morning under, the north
west corner of the building, where the fire
appeared to have originated, and immedi
ately beneath the position occupied by a
kerosene oil can, which has been standing
there about seven years, the floor at that
spot haying become thoroughly saturated
with oil. . . ! .:' '
Mr. Filzgerald estimates his Ipsa at about
$2,000, upon which there -was an insurance
in the Farmville, of Virginia, represented
by Maj. J. A; Byrne, of $600 on the build
ing, . $200 on furniture and bedding, $450
on stock, and $50 on show cases. '

' We regret to hear that Dr. M. J. DeRos-
set has determined to leave Wilmington
for the "far West'' We believe he has not
yet decided where he will locate, but he has
advantageous offers from several points,
and it is probable he will ' make either
Louisville or St. Louis his future home. In
expressing our regret at his departure we
do not mean to flatter Dr. DeRoaset; and
weonly express what we sincerely believe
when we say that, wherever he may locate,
he. is destined to attain, the very highest
rank in his -profession. - We consider his
removal a great loss to Wilmington a loss
not only to the medical profession, but lo
society generally. .
