We publish today the remarks of The Wilmington
Journal upon the "uefenCes of Whining o.. They
we'll timed and to the point If The enemy is really med
TIA ing an attack on Wilmington, (aud the indications
to this efect) it is not only reasonable to t1pc,
but it is absolutely CERTAIN that its defence ia
upln the force al our command within the Limits OF be
State. And we say again, II properly prepared aud
well organized and thrown to Gen. WhltlUgs assis-
lance, lnre we have abundant Jlce to ally tUQt
the enemy likely to spare out of his present
ceq We concede 10 Gen. Whiting the feelings and
sres attributed TO him by the JOurnaL-aud tne public
welfare appeals to every cltizeI 10 give him ready
sslance, whatever way tGat asslsLalca may be ask
ed.
We are not ignorant of the difficulties under whicu
uis officer has abored, and he has ben much abused
for semlug acts Ct harshness, where the .sse5 Of
the service were compulsory upon bin. Ii he shall be
able to save Wilmington when the trial comes, i: will
be due in no small Gegee to the fxedues OF purpose
with which he has ressted public camor, wnen to
have yielded would have been to surrender the only
means of making Wilmington detensiOle.
In anticipation Ct the probable assault, (Wtether it
come or not,) both the General OF Conscrption and
Reserves and Adt Gen. Gatin, have it in their power
to "paVe tie way" towards making the deieuces Of
the State complete We would be glad to chronicle
some active and vigorous movement Ia the State mill
tary department, towards making the iCrca under s
command efficient and ready. 1t is to be hoped that
these troops are not to be possessed of the IDEA that
they only for the catchIog of deserters. Though
this is important duty, and which ought always
to be performed In an orderly and energetic manneT
yet much serious duties may deVoVe upon them ;
aud hope that such organizations are being adopted
and such preparations made, as will secure from them
valuable serVlce-to their own honor and the good OF
the State.
We repeat the assurance to cur people, that The
State has the means of successful CeeUce within he'll
self-if she employ it with energy.

We HARDLY KNOW whether there is any truth in the


proverbal remark that Republics are ungrateful."-
Perhaps they are no more upgraeful than any other
governments. Leaving that question open, however
We think we may truly say that whenevsr wherever
O republic acts ungratefully, it scs unwisely. The
feeling of attachment to the government-the stimulus
that prompt recognition of service alone can give
ought never to be wanting in any wisely administered
government. The highest of ali earthly incentives to
action Ia sense of duty, and few without such
sense, but still fewer absolutely chiefly controlled
by it. Mems motives are mixed, and are their &C
tions being based upon such mixed motives. Let us
take things as we find them.
When any man, from pure sense Of duty, does an
action worthy of remembrance that action should net
only have its need of praise its due and proper recog
milton, but it ought to have its just reward not simply
as an act OF Justice to the person doing the action but
s stimulus to others u initiate the example thus held
up for imitation.
We take the liberty of abiding to matter of this
kind even at the risk of mourning the dispeasure OF
the party to whom we refer, and who we really believe
would almost as soon submit to a moderate whipping
as newspaper puff, or what might appear as such
this, however, is nothing of the kind. .

we'll What we do mean to remark upon now, however,
is the fact that Mr. GORDON, the purser thimself
compshed seanan) had ia charge fifty thousand dollars
of government specie, and large amount of bonds,
both on government and private account {; that he
saved these by his individual exertions, sacrificing his
own interest to do so, losing everything he himself
had on board, and getting to town with only the
clothes be happened to have on his back
1t may be said that Captain GORDON did only his
duty. Perhaps this may be abstrectly right, but
think that where the question is Of property and
Asan an exile from his home, in the hands of the
enemy prefers the public interest to his own, losing
what he can i'll afford to lose in order that the Cond

due. At any rate the authorities who may wish to

THE associate having some business matters to at
tend to in Sumter s. c. be left here on last Thursday
morning, and returned home yesterday morning. We
found the crops, so far as We could learn being
ceedingy fine. The corn is probably some few weeks
late in maturing and of course will be that much later
in being dry enough for housing. The PC
tatoe crop is also excellent, as also tn. Sor-
gbum OF the latter large quantity has been
made, and is now being prepared for use. From
all we could learn the price of Syrup must materially
fall Some think it will be down to SIS per gallon
perhaps lower. The only difficulty appears to be in
procuring suitable casks for packing the Syrup
Upon the whole we think are safe In saying from
all we have heard from both North and South Caro-
lima, that the crops generally better, and
more land cultivated than ever before.
