I'll Nus aud then soiue interesting details con-
nected with the late robbery OF the Bank Of Eng-
land noto paper, aud The subsequent forgeries
come to the light, though the English authorities
are not fond of making talk about the matter 1t
is sthought that "plant" upon the mill where the
paper is manufactured was made for long time
before the robbery occurred for 30 confident
we're the parties that the possession Of the paper
was the most important point, that one of them,
now in custody, expressed the opinion that he
could take spurious note, executed on the genu
inc paper, to the Bank Ot England ITSELF and OBJ
tain gold for it. As the different denominations
of notes are printed on different paper, no two
kinds being alike, 1t was necessary TO procure
some of each sort before going at large into the
business, This fact, and the caution Of the
thieves which forbade them to issue their forged
notes too soon after the robbery Of the paper,
doubtless prevented great deal Of mischief; for
the whole affair was discovered before much
spurious money was put in circulation. One OF
the men arrested was caught in the very act Of
engraving the forged notes he at once confessed
his guilt, and stated that he had been carrying
on forgeries for seventeen years during oil this
time his tstensibe occupation had been that of a
small farmer near Birmingham, nnd there he
had carried on his forging operations under the
very eyes of the police.

A number of ladies and gentlemen of this
city, have determined TO give a Christmas
dinner to the children of the brave soldiers
who are now fighting the battles of the
Union, on the Rappahannock and elsewhere
so gallantly under Burnside The enter
talnment will be given in the basement of
the Wilmington Institute Hall, on Christ
mas day, and as it is desirable that il sbould
be very general and satisfactory, public CO
operation is invited The ladies', therefore
having the matter in charge, invite our citi-
zens to aid them in the undertak
ing by contributions of food such as turkies,
chickens, hams, roasts Of beef pies, cakes,
candies, apples, bread, and such other artj-
cles as will cause the dear little recipients ol
the bounties to forget hunger, suffering and
destitution in their momentary enioyments
of the day.
A number of ladies will be at the room in
the Hall on Christmas morning from 5
o'clock, for the purpose of receiving the do
nations; and it is hoped that the people
generally will respond liberally and prompt
ly' Not only is food desirable, but contribu
tiOns of clothing also will be acceptable, a.
many children are very thinly clad in qult,
unreasonable garments We trust that the
proverbial liberality of the citizens of viii
mington will prove itself worthy of all the
praise hitherto bestowed upon it, by making
this an occasion long to be remembered b,
the dear little children whose protectors are
now facing death before the guns of il saw

All donations intended for the children
should be directed to the Secretary, Mrs. Il

Obituary.

Died on tho 18th inst, GEO. p EDDY, in the
37ih year of his age.
The above will meet the eyes of many readers
who will pass it by unheeded, but the writer
feels that TO some-ast to himself-the name Of the
deceased will recall many pleasant recolectious.
George ?. Eddy was by birth, nature and edu-
cation gentleman. lie stood aloof from lbe
world, though it claimed him. lie made no pre-
tentions nor Professions to either religion or
friendship; his actions proved the man. He
felt more than he prOfessed.
To his parents it is consoling to know he was
an obedient son, and Il kind brother. Those
with whom he was associated can testify he was
a true friend
The seasons will come and depart in their
regular order, reminding us OF the eojourn and
departure Of earthly things and friends but the
chain of association and pleasant memory has
lost link, which many will miss in future time
We knew his worth we feel his loss. If he
had faults, let them be buried in the Stiffness Of

POLITICAL SERMONS,


We oopysthe followngexcelleht and we'll
timed remarks from the Courier, published
at Madison, Indiana.
"'rhere is one thing which particularly
eNcites our admiration. 1t is the pious zeal
with which Democratic newspapers watch
over the purity of the pulpit. The sensitive
religious spirit Of these Democratic editors
is deeply shocked at the tendency among
clergymen to talk about political matters.-
They are morally shocked when any allusion
is made in the pulpit to the rights of man.
They consider it their duty to expostuate
frequently with the clergy in this connec-
tion. They have considerable trouble, how
ever. Clergymen have got in the habit of
dAbbling in these matters They will
speak out in meetin" They can't keep
totally silent on the great questions Of the
day They are obstreperous, and don't heed
the admonitions Of these pious Democratic
editors.
"On last Thanksgiving Day many of the
clergy Of the country devoted their attention
10 remarks on the slate of the nation. They
took advantage of the day and gave vent to
their pent up feelings on political subjects
And as usual in such cases, they hit the
Democratic party some hard raps, totally
unconscious of it at the time. Aud now
they are receiving at the hands of these
democratic newspapers wrath and indigna-
ton. How is it that ministers cauuot allude
to political matters without disturbing the
Democracy? Queer ain't it? Our Eas-
tern exchanges are full of political sermons,
and our Democratic exchanges are weighed
down in consequence. just as if the clergy
could help themselves. Out of the iulness
Of the heart the mouth speaketh."
| Indeed, one Of our Democratic ex-
changes is not content with abusing the
clergy, but is down on Sabbath schools. II
argues that they are nothing more tlan Re
publican nurseries, that they stand in thu
way of the great Democratic party, and
therefore ought to be put down. Otempora
