on last Sunday, notice was read from the
pulpit OF every christian church in Wilmington,
requesting voluntary subscriptions for the snecal
purpose OF procuring blankets for the volunteer
troops who are about to leave this city to fight
the battles Of the Constitution and the Country.
In some OF the churches the money was gathered
in the shape of collections n others the an
nouncement was made that any donations for the
object named might be handed to either Mrs.
Lee, Mrs. Candy, or Mrs Lamott
In 81. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Rev.
Mr.. Reilly made stirring and patriotic appeal
TO his congregation, in behalf of the troops. and
warmly enioined upon his hearers the fulflment
Of the obligations they were under, both a.
christians and citizens, to support and defend
the glorious flag Of this the most free and pros
porous country upon the face of the EARTH
Those who could not fight its battles were bound
he sud- by every possible means, to assist those
who could ana would take tue field. The priyate
purse Of every man should DO opened to make
tbs troops comfortable and keep them in health
lie compared the chances Of meeting death BIS
battle with the destruction Of life by neglect and
disease, and demonstrated that more men were
lost from the latter cause than the former in
nearly every case. Mr.. Reilly never spoke tc
his people with more earnestness and zeal than
on this occasion, and nobly did they respond tc
his appeal The plate was passed through the
congregation and the sum of jorty-four dollar,
was contributed at once. When we consider
that st. Alary's is a new church with small
membership, most Of which are laboring men GU
Of employment and without any reserved mean
upon which to live through the hard times. ",
consider the collection one of the most liberia
character, and well calculated to show the est
mate in which that church holds the blessings
Liberty and Union.
We have not heard from other churches il
this city, but ifthcy all have done as well as ST
Mary's, we may anticipate heavy fund for tn
purchase of blankets. If small Congregation
Of poor, everyday working people can raise
without single moment of previous notice, til,
sum of forty four dollars in less than half al
hour, what ought the better circumstanced
churches do for the glorious cause? Let u.

complimentary manner in which he was pleased
to notice our article, we protest against being
thrown into the political association in which
we find oursef in the Times. The Josyuai is

We're escorted to the city as prisoners Of war.
During the surrender, crowd of spectators
was hred into by the troops, and q number
killed.
Many conflicting rumors prevail regarding the
cause of the firing on the crowd. Some saw that
rocks brick bats, and other missiles were hurled
at the volunteers, smashing their muskets, and
breaking the limbs and otherwise wounding the
soldiers; while others assert the contrary
respectable citizen, who was an eye witness
occupying position only few feet behind the
troops that fired, states positively that no rocks
were thrown, and no pistols fired by the crowd,
and that the only proyocaton given was the
abusive epithets launched at the Germans in the
ranks
1t is known, however, that, after the firing
commenced, SHOTS were returned by parties in
the crowd, and several soldiers were wounded.
The United States troops are now in posses

tents, provisions, &c.
The Pacific and North Missouri Railroad de.
