I myself waa an eye witneiw of this im portant engagement from first to laat, and can teatify that the Ottoman sol dier, bebared with a gallantry which waa moat admirable. They bad, how erer, during a great part of the action, tbe idrantage of intrench merits on high groand, and it is due to Ibis fact, no doubt, that their loe., compared la those inflicted upon tbe enemy, were nitigniicant."

There were raaay and hearts in thia city on last Saturday morning when the news of the death of Mr. , James Darby was spread over the city. Mr. Darby had been a resident of thia city for many years, and Super intendent of the Wilmington Gas Light Company for more than twenty year?, and as a citizen or an official, no man stood higher.
