Jones, of New Orleans, were before the f Yel- low ever Commission in New Or leans,' and gave it as their opinion that yellow fever was indigenous to that place, and it had not been proved that the epidemio of last summer was caused by importation. Dr. Loeber believed in the germ theory, and that "the best means of prevention are by a thorough hygienic system, such as is in operation in New York and Bal timore, where I believe germs to have been indigenous, and where I believe these were eradicated by strenuous sanitary regulations." Dr. Jones fa vored strongly a rigid quarantine If all the "stalwarts" in the North do not fly to arms then their mannWd is gone forever. Since the.

The press in Southern cities where it has been produced concede that Mr. George Adams Invests it with a freshness and attractive ness which few who have essayed it have been able to accomplish.

After due consideration of tbw work beTere them, it was resolved to Issue the following lo th Cilizenq Wilnu7)ffto: r.&m-. . intiie diachageotjouriuiy..asa cam-! mitteeof tbe.Wilraiogton Light Infantry navies: under., consiaerauouj measurea to preserve its existence aadrViiility.iwe have determined to aet JorUt to fyou ome ; facta in reference to . the organization, i and to couple therewith ii an..: earnest appeal ' for countenance and assistance, m. ; : i.i . While the history of th .Company is amiliar to nearly all, and its name a bouse hold word to many among us, atill we deem, appropriate some reference thereta s j.; Urganized inisaa, for thereight years of its ante beilum existeace.it Was the pride of our city, and held the first rank among the; volunteer militia of the State. Embracing in its ranks the very flower of ouje youog chivalry, as might nave oeea expected, at the first distant sound of hostilities, it was among the foremost to offer its services to the Governor of the State. Entering service on the 15tb day of April, 861, it was not until the sad surrender at Appomattox that its energiea were spent and ita organization overwhelmed in. the general disaster. These four years of active participation in the field, wrought many and varied changes. 1 Those in ita membership however, were due to the constant tide of promotion of its old, well . drilled; .discip lined and competent men to command ireao troops which tbesemergencies-of the times were constantly ending forth; It was a very nursery of officers for the Confederate ser vice, and we conscientiously believe, that there waa. scarcely a single non-commis sioned officer or private who went with the command to Fort Caswell in April, 1861, and who continued in service, but wno 00- tained some commission from the grade of Lieutenant to that of full Colonel (of the ast of which there were several). With such a record as this, and with so honorable a corps of veterans remaining, bo wonder there were repeated attempts after the war to revive this organization. It was not, however, until March, 1879, that this was. permanently! accomplished. , For nearly four years has the present organiza tion struggled 00, amid afinost overwhelm ing difficulties, to maintain its permanency. efficiency, drill and discipline. By the wise protective enactment 01 our Legisla ture it has become a part of a military sysv tern, being embraced within the State Guard. Under the laws giving birth and effectiveness to this system there are cer tain requirements laid upon the individual companies, mere : is but one; However, which our present purpose renders neces aary to mention. To retain the arms fur nished by the State the active, effective membership must be kept up to a certain standard of members; and, plainly speak ing, without some more generous counte nance from the citizens at large there is the rock upon which the present organization s likely to be wrecked. The sentiments of a great maioiity of this free people.are against large standing armies in limes of peace, and in favor of a well-appointed system of militia; and this the Government of North Carolina is en deavoring, successfully to provide in the creation of its State Guard. Domestic violence is likely to occur in certain con tingencies, which the strong arm of mili tary power, perhaps, alone can quell; and what more effective agency could we seek in such emergencies than a -volunteer militia, well armed and disciplined, em bracing the best of our own citizens? And the moral protectiveness of such orgaciza tian extends itself to a community in all periods of its existence. .! Without elabora tion, we trust our citizens. 01 all classes. will see and recognize tne importance ot protection to themselves in the continuance and perpetuity of well-disciplined volunteer military companies, iostered and encour aged as they are by the laws of the State. We therefore confidently appeal to pur citizens at large to give to the Wilmington Light Infantry that' encouragement . of which it now stands in urgent need. We bee of them not only to recognize the practical fact of protections it offers, but to cherish it as a matter 01 pride to themselves. The immediate purpose of this committee is not to solicit moneyed contributions, but to invoke a broad and generous interest in behalf or the company. The first and greatest requirement is that its membersnip snail be swelled to seventy five or one hundred earnest. active "men. In such an event it would BOHnlyech the hisbeats erade of i efflcieaeyt trot j would prove at once self-sustaining To those representing our business community the class of employers we would appeal 10 encourage the young men m their employ to loin its ranks, and allow them opportu nity for occasional parades and other du ties. We spare, less. time ffrom businees Utan any commercial community in mis country, and that required for this purpose could be easily accorded. . We know that many young men would join tne Wilming ton Light lalautfy II the necessary encour agement was given by employers.. . We would also appeal to the young men themselves to enroll their names, promising them a reasonable degree 01 pleasure and amusement, coupled with healthful exer cise, habits of discipline and control and much pleasant friendly, intercourse.. " In conclusioahaving see before you the danger which threatens th existence of the organization, we bee a geheTat and united interest in its behalf and confidently trust that Wilmington will not be centent,inthe matter of her military companies, to be be hind her less important sisters, ;nor yet, without an effort, see. one of her proudest institutions fade from existence fby reason of an apathetic : indifference i on the part of her citizens. , . , . , fSignedr MXTTHBW F.
