Mr. EDToR: The repetition of the Cantata gwen
last night by the young ladies' very well attend
ed, Notwithstanding the incemency of the weather
The young ladies il any thing performed their parts
much better than they did the first night. The
beautiful dress of the Fairies and their smiling IA
ces, together with the airy evolutions of graceful
forms, rendered within itself the whole a perfect
success. The Fairy Queen" represented by Miss
Kate F., admirably sustained. The exquisite
dress and grace of the Queen perfectly angelic
The speeches well written and gracefully de-
vered The GpsieS without alluding to particu-
lar persons, did their parts handsomely. "Our
Southern Wagon" or Wait for the Wagon" by
the five little representatives, was performed WELL
During the whole performance there was Il constant
shower of bouquets. In short, the whole thing was
perfect success, and will ever be remembered as
the most brilliant thing of the kind produced
in Wilmington.
There has been considerable excitement here for
four or five days. Militia from different counties
have been pouring in. The Southern train brought
in last night between seven and eight hundred from
Robson, each of which had his gun and powder
pouch. There is now here between three and four
thousand mil tia, awaiting orders.
The whole city was thrown in an unusual state
Of excitement on Friday morning by hearing dis
tinctly the booming of cannon the night previous
That morning there were ten thousand different rn-
mors afoat, and until official information could be
obtained, all believed sincerely that the Gall had
opened. The next evening, however, the steamer
brought the news. The firing proved to be at Cas-
we'll the cause of which was false alarm. However
much excited and troubled some Of our people along
the coast were, the false alarm did great deal of
good and happened in season. for it has picked the
of every body.
The rumor now is the fleet has gone to Port
Royal. This place is situated in the Southern ex.
treme of South Carolina, near the Georgia line, and
is said to DC of the best harbors in the whole
country-but the whole feet having gone there, is
only conjecture. At any moment it may make its
appearance on coast at as good harbor Port
Royal By tomorrow, it is rumored, there will be
five thousand militia here TO he kept until We can
hear of the whereabouts Of the great expedition. !"
Every thing down this part of the coast is pretty
well prepared, and in short time the whole Of
Wilmington will be fortified. The work now is
nearly finished. WORRELL.

death of one, who, while amongst us, ever stood as
living example of what Mason and Christian

loosed, the golden bowl broken or the pitcher
broken at the fountain, the wheel broken at the
cistern the dust shall return to the earth as it was
and the spirit unto God who gave it.
