I After die consideration before t hern, it was resolved on the work to is?ne "the following - . ClRi I I.AR. ; To the Citizens of Wilmington Injtho discharge of our dutv as a com- miteVof the Wilmington Light Infantrr, Si'avtng uder cinfid-fation measures to preserve ils exi.-tencc nnd vitality we hare determined to set foiih to vou Home facts. in reference to the organization, and to Couple therewith an earnest appeal for counlenaiice and assistance. j While the history of this company is familiar to nearly all, and its name a household word, to many amouj us, stijl we deem appropriate pome reference thereto. : Organized in 1803. for the, eight years of its . ante VellurA existence, 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 Hower of pur young chivalry, as might have been expected, at the first distant sound of hos tilities, it was among the foremost to offer its services to the (Jovernor of the .State. Entering service en the 15th day of ApnTlbGl, il was n6t until the sail sur render at Appi m.utox that its energies were spent and its organization overwhelm ed in the general' disaster. These four yeurs of active participation in thctkld I jwrought many and varied changes. Tho.-e r in its rnQmbership., lrowe,v'er, were due to jthVcafl5t;Mtfde of ' promotion of its old, well-drilled, disciplined and competent . men-, to command fresh treops. wthich the emcrgencus of the times wore censtantlv calling-forth. It was a veuy nursery of officers for the Confederate jjservue, anil we conscientiously believe that there was scarcely' a single nttii-commissioned offi cer lor privatu '' who went with the. commulid to J'ort ' Caswell, in ?April, 1861, and wlto continued in fscr yice, bq who obtained some commission from the grade of lieutenant to that of full colonel (of 'the last of which there were sc.veral).- " ' ; . " ; iVS'ith such.a record. as this. and - with "so i honorable a corps of veterans .remaining, no wonder there were several attempts af ter the war to revive this organization. It was .'not, however, jjiHtd Miirck l&ll, that j this was permaneuiiy accomplished. For i iiearly four years lias the present organiza- i I tion struggled on amid almost overwhelnt- I ing umicultu'S to in vnitain its permaneHcv, ! ; officering, drill and discipline, Bv tlie ! jwise protective enactment of our Lvgisla . tare, it h;U become a part of a military i system, being embraced within the State J Uuard. Under the laws giving birth and I effectiveness. to this system there are cer- tain requirements lard upon the individual Ncompanief ;fThere is but- one, however, j which our present purpose renders neees . sary to mention. 'I'o retain the arms fur nished bjy the "Slate, the active, effective membership must be kept up to a certain standard of membei-s; and "plainly speak ' speaking, without some -more generous countc nance from the citizens at farge.this is the rock upon which the present organi zation is hkely to be wrecked. 1 The .cntim nts of a great lnaioritv of this free peopl.vis against large standing armies in "times of p ace, and in favor of a well appointed system of militia.

Aiul the moral pro tectivencss of snch organization extends itself to a community in all periods of its existence. Without elaboration, we trust our citizens, of all classes?lwill see and re : cognize the importance of protection to themelvv-s in the continuance; aud perpet ujty of wpil disciplined vorunteer military ' cbmp inieii. fostered and cueourjfged as t Uey .' are by the laws of the State, .ti, 4 - therefore, confidently appeal iS our citizeusat large jto gife to the SVilniing- ion Light Infantry that encouragement of which it now stauds in urgent need. We , beg of them not only to recognize the . practical fact of protection it offers, but to cherish it as a matter of pride to them selves. The immediate purpose of this ' committee is not to solicit moneved contri- butions. but to invoke a broad ,and gener ous iatercst in behalf tf the compaiiy. The first and greatest requirement is, that its membership shall be swelled to sevehty- five or one hundred earnesx active men. In such an event it would not only reach the highest grade !of efficiency, 'but would .preve at once self-sustaining.- To those jpreseing o'ur business conimanity-thp fflss pf employers we wpuld appeal toeq--polfage tho youiig men in their employ to jQkV its ranks and allow them opportunity for occasional parade and other duties.

Friday, P. M., Jan. 3, 1879. Business the past week was mostly of a hand-to-mouth character, as is nsually the case dur ing the holidays, but considerable quanti ties of cotton goods lately held "on memo randum" by jobbers were charged a p by manufacturers' agents at a slight concession from nominal holidiiV; rates. Toward the close of the week there was a little more inquiry for printed cambrics and shirting prints by city jobbers, but transactions were less liberal than at the corresponding tin! in previous years. Clothing woollens have been in light demand, and agents con tinued to make fair deliveries of light weight fancy cassimeres, cheviots, and worsted coatings on account of former or ders. The failure of the Southbridge Print Works (Messrs. T. & J. II. Saunders) was announced in the trade, and caused much regret, as they have made a galiant strug gle to withstand the late depression ;n the print market. : ' Domestic Cottoiv Goods. The exports of cotton goods from this port during the week ending December 3 , were 785 pack ages, of which 207 were sent toBrazit.125 to Japan, 114 to -Danish West Indies. 106 to Arpentme.Reublk to Great Britain, &c The total exports of domestics frwn this port to foreign countries during the year ending pecember 31, 178, were 112, 687 packages, against 104,556 in 1877, 84 456 in 1876, 4i;008 in 1875 and 21,253 in 1874. The market wa3 quiet the past week, but prices ruled , steady, and a few makes of brown and bleached goods, dved ducks, &c, tha,t have been selling: below their actual value, were slightly advanced. The supply of cotton goods is well contin ued, and a small advar.ee along the whole line would not be surprising. As above stated, some lines of goods lately held oa memorandum by jobbers were charged up at a very slight, reduction from nominal holding prices. Print cloths were quiet but firm at 3c cash for 64x64s, and 2fc. eish for 56x60s. Dark fancy prints were almost neglected, but there was a moder ate inquiry for shirtings, light printed cambrics, and -'patchwork " prints. Domestic Woollex Uoods. J nere were comparatively few out of-town buyers in the market, and operations in . clothing woolleas bj the local trade were fewnd un important. Agents made further deliv eries of light-weight clothing woolens on account of back orders, but new business was very slow.
