MEMPHIS NEEDS HELP.

We feel sure that the people of Viii
mington need no appeal from us to
excit, their sympathies for the plague
stricken sufferers at Memphis. BY
nail and by telegram the intelligence
comes to us that our fellow creatures
are there dead and dying in numbers
that are simply appalling. Those who
remain and are yet not stricken down
need help in caring for those not so
fortunate. In no other shape can
snch efficient help be rendered as III
that of ready money, that Icy the aid
of the telegraph can from the remotest
noints be made available i'll Memphis
in an hours time.
There is no time for delay. Litter
ally is it true that ne gives twice who
now gives quickly. Money is indeed
scarce and times are hard, but when
We remember what all awful scourge
the Yellow Fever is, he who can refnse
to give, and to give cheerfully, and ut
once, to the very fullest extent Of his
means, to the plague-striclen sufferers
at Memphis, is scarcely worthy OF the
name of man. And who better than
the citizens of Wilmington, from their
own experience, know the awful hor-
r0rs of the Yellow Fever.

MORE s..eEESEsaCAS

\ writer IN the New York Times,
who is highly commended by that pa
per, is very much concerned about the
financial future of the country. He is
in favor of a speedy return to specie
payments and thinks all the ills of the
country flow from Il too free use OF
paper money; and his very inmOst soul
is grieved because other people do not
seem to be of his way of thinking. He
tells us that, g strange as 1t may seem,
there is at this very moment q plot
forming to press upon Congress at its
next session the issue of one htltdle1
millions more Of grceHbachs. under
the plea that we cannot carry on the
business of the country with the pres
ent sum of seven hundred millions.
There is no s,crecy about this scheme;
it is talked Of in more than one infu-
entail quarter What is equally Sc
rious-the press, which Of late has
been almost unanimous i'll its urgent
demand for measures toward resump
ton, has fallen under the spell, and
no more is heard about specie re-
sumption"
We do not take any pleasure IN the
sorrow of the Times correspondent,
but it will, nevertheless, much delight
rs if Congress shall authorize the
issue of a large additional amount of
currency.
If the resumption of specie pay
ments means q reduction of the amount
of the circulating medium III the
country, we are opposed to it for the
present. Tt is q very convenient pro-
gramme for buyers to decrease the
amount Of the circulating medium and
then by shrinkage in values to force
the business to accommodates itself to
the decrease, but it means ruin to the
producers. The debts that are now
pressing upon our farmers and our
merchants were contracted before the
shrinkage, and the result will be if the
shrinkage shall take place, that the
farmer will not be able to pay the
merchant. the merchant Will hot be
able to pay the bank, and general ruin
will pervade the whole producing
country. Especially would it be nm
fair and unjust to force II resumption
Of specie payment just at the time
when the grain of the West and the
cotton of the South is going into mar
ket. It may suit New York and New
England latitudes, but it will not
suit us.
We are glad then to learn that there
is determination to press upon Con
gress the issue of one hundred millions
more of greenbacks and that the talh
about the resumption of specie pay
ment is 10 more heard.

From private letters received from
orr former citizen, General r. +. Col
ston, now q Colonel in the General
Staff of the Army of the Egyptian
Khedive, we gather some facts person
al to himself and others in regard to
Egyptian matters which will prove
III st interesting to our readers.
General Colston has been ordered
rpon a scientific expedition up the
Nile, which was to have started during
the latter part OF September, and to
be absent from Cairo for several
months. The party, which consists OF
all engineering party, with 81 military
escort, will proceed up the Nile as far
as the Second Cataract, six or seven
hundred miles above Cairo. As far
up as the river is navigable, some
four hundred and fifty miles, to Syene,
government steamer will convey the
party. From thence it will be
supplied with q train Of canels. The
Chiefs of the various districts through
which the exploring party passes have
been notified of its coming, and are
made snswerable With their heads for
its safety.
We are glad to say that upon his
return he promises TO furnish the
Journal with some notes OF his travel
i'll Ghat almost unknown country.

extracts from the letters:

viii some OF our cotemporarics in
form us whether the awards recently
made by the British American Commits
sion under the Washington Treaty en-
braced any of the cases involving dc
c:sion of the question about the burn
ing OF Columbia ? It has been stated,
we believe, that the claims allowed
amounted in all IL about two millions
of dollars, and it is known that it was
material to the decision OF some of the
cases before the Commission, to ascer-
tain whether General Sherman the Fed
eral or General Hampton the Confed-
crate officer was responsible for the
destruction of the property for which
payment was demanded by British
subjects.
It Will be interesting to know what
conclusion, if any, the Commission
may have arrived at. Ii a decision has
been made against General Sherman,
it Will be a severe reflection upon him
in view of the strong swearing he has
done in his own case, and IL view of
the further fact, that very recently the
Secretary OF War used the weight of
his official position, apparently at least,
to influence the decision.
The silence of the northern papers
and telegraphic dispatches in relation
to The matter, leads us to think that the
question has been decided against
Sherman-jf it has been decided at all
If it had been decided against Gen
eral Hampton, We rather think that the
public would have been duly informed
