AN Address TO THE CITIZENS OF WILMSToS
by THE COMMITTEE ON BEHALF OF THE DEMosTHR-
MAN sooIBTY.-Feiioo Citizens: The under
signed appointed a committee for the purpose,
would hereby most respectfully address you
on the subject of arranging, by the inhabi-
tants OF Wilmington, general appropriate
and patriotic celebration of the eighty-third
anniversary of our National independence,
in which every good citizen who has the
welfare of the country at heart should
sions of war are now shaking Europe from
centre to circumference, we are permitted to
sit down in peace under our own vine and fig
tree, and enjoy all the blessings of free gov
ernment--a government which was purchased
by the blood of our ancestors and Transmitted
to us ms heritage of liberty never to he for
gotten. Does it not oehoove us as n nation
to assemble on the Fourth day OF every July.
and to show to the world that we inherit the
principles of our ancestors and that around
their achievements is thrown sacred halo
which time has not been able to eradicate and
which thrills with patriotism the bosom of
every true American; that we look upon
their Tolls as laying broad AMI deep the foun-
ment under which we live and which is the
glory Of the American nation,
The Fourth of July is the only national holt
day We celebrate in this great Republic; and
it should be the desire of all to keep alive the
reverence of that memorable day in the hearts
of the people to the latest generations.
There are many reasons besides those al
ready advanced why the day should be OBJ
served, a few only of which will be named
here Mankind will have some kind of recre-
alton or relaxation, and if innocent and ra-
tional means are not provided for them they
will be likely to adopt those that are injurious
and perhaps vicious. 1t whould seem, there
fore, the wiser plan to afford our people a
cheap and harmless mode of amusement; oc-
casional relaxation of this kind is conclusive
to public health and public morals. Then let
IFS celebrate the day in Wilmington in be-
coming manner, II will have a tendency to
keep our citizens at home, whose employers
would he relieved of much anxiety and sus-
condition to resume their usual avocations
the next day, and not to be absent for several
days in our neighboring cities. BY having

BURNING OF THE TWO WESTERN STEAM.
FRS

The ST. Louis Republican, Of Monday, has the
particulars of the burning of the steamers New Mon
ongahela and Edinburgh, at Bloody Island, across
the river from that city where the boats were laid
up, The fire took place at 3 o'clock, A. M, on the
New Mon0ngahela. The flames spread rapidly, and
communicated 30 the Edinburgh, which was lying
next below. The wind was blowing down the river
and some eight or ten steamboats, were in imminent
danger of being consumed, unless they could be re
moved before the fire, in its progress could reach
them. In this state of affairs the watchmen OH
board the steamers Thos. e. Tut, Hannibal, Sow
ereign, Il. A. Ogden and Laclede cut these bouts
loose from shore, and allowed them to float down
with the current BY this means gap was made,
and the remainder Of the idle steamboats, on the is
land were saved.
The Monongahea md Edinburgh were fastened
to the shore by chain cables and were entirely
sumed where they were lying 1t is almost need
less to state that lives lost and that there
was no freight on either of the burned boats. The
Monongahela had made two trips in the Missouri
river, this season, after which dull times laid her
up. She had been at the island only couple oil
days. The Edinburgh had not made trip any
where this season.
The Edinburgh was built especially for the Mis-
souri, river, by Capt. g. W. Bowman and was six
years old. After running two or three years, she
was purchased by Captain Daniel Able, who went
to considerable expense in frightening her &C.
She proved profitable boat and Captain Able run
her two years n Bluff packet For year past
the Edinburgh had done very little running. She
was valued at Sl2,0 00 and insured in Pittsburgh
Offices for $4,000
The Monongahela was about four years old. She
was built by Capt NJ. A. Cox, and owned by Capt.
Cox, commander; Mr.. S. S. Entriken, clerk; Mr..
WOrthlin, second clerk, and Robert Rogers, of
Brownsville, Pa. She was valued at 1926, 900, and
-fourths of the boat insured in Pittsburgh
for $4,000. The remaining fourth was uninsu ed.

crew of a schooner which foundered at Montevideo

dicates where to obtain reliable and competent ply
sician. 1t is seldom that we are called upon to bear
testimony in favor Of the skill of any physician but
sense Of duty as well as Justice demands that we
should not pass Dr. Czapkay by, without something
more than mere mention. Unlike the greater por-
ton OF those who thrust themselves and their nostrums
before the public whose practices are empirical, Dr.
Czapkay is gentleman of rare medical and scientific
atanments, having held the position fchief surgeon
of the hberating army during the late hungarian
Revolution, being voted honorary member of the
Philadelphia College of Medicine, and is possessed Of
all the requisite experience and skill for the success

suffering from the effects of sexual private diseases
feeling assured that in all such complaints, whether
arising from infection, mdscreou, selfabuse, or loss
of virty, he can guarantee from his extensive prac
tice, speedy and permanent cure. To those suffer
ing from the effects OF physical and mental debility
we would say, let common sense take the place Of
false modesty, and seek such advice will save you
from an untmey grave, and lead you back again to
pristine health, cons,t Dr. Czapkay, whom we cheer
fully endorse skillful and tried physician capa-
bic of coping with and successfully eradicatns those
selinliced mseres, the evils of empirical practices
and all diseases Of a seminal nature. Dr. Czapkay's

zen thus handles the critic:
Critics, in the pure aceeptation of the term,
when capable and just are essential directors
of public appetite, and exercise 4 beneficial
influence in these days of superfuity; but
lacking ability and impartiaiity, are con.
temphble-not of sufficient Importance to
ridicule, and too absurd to pity. There arc
various classes of critics but we allude only
to literary critics One who excels by edu-
cation and experience, well blended with
judgment and honesty of purpose, is worthy
of the office; and such qualities are the neces.
sary outfit to guide the mind in analyzing
literary works to the definite conclusion of
the merits or demerts contained therein
Such critic is a benefactor. Not only do
the reading masses benefit by his labors, but
authors, also, are the recipient of his superior
opinions. If the criticisms emanate from the
pen of such a reviewer, il has the almost i'm.
mediate effect Of retardng or advancing the
circulation of the work-thus retarding mer.
it or censuring imposition. If criticism is
favorable, it urges the author to achieve
greater fame if the reverse, it points out his
errors, and urges him to even excel A re-
viewer of this class maintains the dignity and
purity of his position by critcising only the
plpuuCllOlo VI Ihc duluOT, uOL his CACenIrlcls
ties, the manner of his walk, nor his mere
name. One assuming such office, should be
entitled to it by literary excellence Such
rules were strictly observed in the early days
| of authorship; but, with few exceptions, lit
tie respected at the present time 1t is not
now the favored author-who has won the
privilege by the worlds applause-who
rushes to the front rank to pass Judgment. 1t
is some founding of the numerous literary
hospitals, who, though scarce out of swad-
ding clothes, seeks notoriety by assuming
superiority, and incapable of dissecting the
production strikes right and left, though
missing every pass at its author; dips his
lance of attack in a mixture of vinegar and
asafGtida, and strives to pierce the public
mind by attempted satire and ridicule These
are what may be termed sodaw water critics.
The object of attack may not deign to dignity
the effort" with reply, justly deeming ST.
lenco the eloquence of contempt The elated
"big boy" Of village debating society con-
strues this silence into n fatal effect of his
crushing criticism. These trainers of noun.
tains, who lack ingenuity to raise molehill,
are the mosquitoes of literature, who buzz
but cannot wound deep; lost in self suflicien-
cy, they expose all the weakness of nature in
seeming what they are not-critics. An
able and just critic is worthy of all honor;
soda-water critic is despicable.
