v. Gassy. The' assertion that Wilmington is light
ed with gas is decidedly gassy. A poorer ermore
jniserable apology for'gas'was never known!' It
s costs . ns several dollars per night ifor candles "to
i see the stufl j burn. It is j probable tiat the go'v;
. ernment- will becalleclon to- a v large amount" for.
ps consumedtn the various ; public offices. If
the article would give light doubtless the bills
irotdd be cheerfully' paid, but" iny quartermaster
that pays greenbacks for such an imitation as is f ur
nished in Wilmington,' deserves . prosecution for
siding and abetting 'a fraud unless he pays i in
rebl money, which is on a par with lh gas. ' f
. Mobe Paboled jPbisonebs. A lot of nine
imulred Union .officers .prisoners fit war paroled
under the new cartel, arrived in. the - city y ester-'
day. They presented ' a much -more decent and
healthy appearance thanj did the poor privates
.who preceded them, and whose pitiable condition ;
has excited so ' much commiseration. ;" . Many. of
these officers, however, i had barely sufficient
dathing left to cover; their nakeJness. " .They wil
be sent North by steamer to-day. ; 4 ) -
Captain Thomas Pingof the 17th Iowa regi
ment, one of. the officers who came in to-day, has
laid us under obligations for files of ' Southern pa
pers, and also for. an interesting narrative of the

NOTICE TO CITIZENS.
-An Appeai to the BeevoX,est. -Mr. George
Offers publishes a card elsewhere in this issue
calling uon .citizens for donations " of wearing
ajpaiel lor the paroled soldiers" thai are now 'ar
ming hi the city. vThis is an appeal of no ordifla.
ry charactef. 1 is not that the government is
unable to furnish its soldiers with suitable cloth
iugt or that, the" soldiers themselves ar6 in indigent
circumstances. Tlo trouble is that there is no
clothing here for them. Jt is patent that they are"
not sniiably clad to encounter the chilling March
blasts of a Northern climate to- which they will
soon be subjected in their . journey to the parole
camp at Annapolis. Unless the'public do some
irnng for them, much, suffering must ensue. These
men hate already suffered enough. Let the citi-,
tens generally respond tj the patriotic and humane
Suggestion otMr. Myers, and they will .find thiem-
seiTeaouDiy blessed. . - rf
