CAPTAIN ". z. sIESASE's SPEECH.

It is fit and proper at all times and
! under all circumstances, for the peo-
pie, in their sovereign capacity, to as
semble ;or the purpose of criticising
the acts of their public servants, or
representatives,, endorsing that which
they approve and condemn1pg that
which they disapprove. And it i espe-
c!aily their privilege, as well as their
duty, SO to do, when an occasion of
more than ordinary Importance occurs.
Public opinion is the power which
must direct the conduct of public
men, and an intelligent public opinion
/ ls seldom wrong. Unfortunately, the
start or impetus to public servants in
regard to certain measures, is some-
times given in sensational or panic
styie. Individuals on newspapers.
wEO wish to supplant those in power,
haye..frequently succeeded, for time,
in establishing this sensational strife
of public opinion-assuming a plausi-
BILE position and playing upon the i'm
pulsive patriotism of the peo, le. We
are an impulsive nation, and while we
may, for while, be led through our
credulity, without thinking for our
selves, just SO sure will the reaction
| occur. Excitement and impulsive ac-
ton are sure to expand themselves and
then be followed by the work of calm
reason and reflection, which invariably
! brings the right to the surface,
end scatters the mist OF sensa-
ton and prejudice-returns YER
diet III favor OF truth and Justice
and establishes an Intelligent public
opinion. This opinion is seldom if ever
wrong, and before its Judgment dem
agogues tremble and dread the test of
its ordeal. Those who hope to be
built up in high places by their Jug
rlerv, know that the verdict of this
Court ensures their downfall. This
brings US tothe resolutions just offered
and to the spirit in which propose to
advocate their adoption. Much has
been said by newspapers and individ-
uals about the Congressional back pay
bill, as it is called, but little has been
said and probably less thought about
| it by the people themselves. Those
who have led the crusade against the
members of the And Congress, as
sumo the possession of all the virtue,
and denounce the Congressm en- in un-
measured terms. In these resolutions

Is Accused of Putting his House
Servants on tho Army Roll and
having them paid with Public
Money.
Manifest improprieties in the man
ner OF providing help a. the White
House having called for investigation,
which is to receive the serious atten-
ton OF Congress-, by resolution call
ing for information from the Secretary
Of War,it will first be inquired by what
authority enlisted men, whose pames
are on the rolls of the army, are serv-
ing there in menial capacities, and the
public viii want to know who is res
ponsible for this violation of official
integrity, not to say of the law. IT
may be asked, with some pertinence,
whether men have been EMPLOYED
there in various duties from that of
messenger to cook, and from that of
house servant to barber, who draw
their pay, ranking as sergeants and rs
high as captains. Rumor has it that
when these former were placed in the
Executive Mansion they were ranked
as prlvates, but the pay not being
sufficient, in their own estimation
and that of their employer, they
were promoted by the Secretary
of Wec on the recommendation of the r
employer, to be sergeants, so as thus
to be enabled to draw increased pay
for their important and useful callings.
And in the case of the cook, as every
one knows, no secnnd-class hotel here
can secure the services of n good
French or German cook at rate of
wages less than from 800 to S175 per
month. Of course the pay of sergeant
would never meet the requirements OF
the august functionary who performs
the delicate task of catering to the re-
fined and sensitive epicurean palates of
the 'Jttnai{te royaie," and so it is said
that this individual must be appointed
to the rank of captain, with pay prop
er, so as to be enabled to manage his
'.fllcts, rotis, and po':sseric."

EAyHeNFr.

Some of the principal operators i'll
New York have been interviewed upon
the possibility Of an advance III rice
under the inilence of the India famine,
and as their views are Of interest to
many of our readers. we print them.
Tho prevailing feeling among the
dealers in rice is that an advance Is
possible if the famine in India is to be
protracted. Mr.. G. l.. Sheldon, who
is one of the largest operators in rice,
informs a reporter that he has received
no recent information as to the Bengal
crop, and uld not say what couse
the market hero would take. He con-
sidered the rise Of fifty cents, which
had taken place in this market, as only
legitimate and natural Last year
there was large stock Oh hand, which
He had at that time large stock of
Patna, which he would not sell at the
rate ruling then; now the stock is low,
rise has taken place.
Mr.. D. Tallmadge & Sons, Water
street, believed that the effect of af-
fairs in India would be to create a
stringent market here. Mr.. Chas. B.
/
market is very stong at present, and
we look forward to higher prices. -
India IS the great rice producing
country, and anything affecting the
market there must have a counterao-
ton here. At the same time, how
ever, / Go not think the price can be
affected in the proportion which the
news from England would indicate,
as the rice consumed by the natives
in India is of the poorest quality,
and which is not generally exported.
No great rise can take place
until the price of domestic rice is
higher, but the Southern market is
growing sitter, and an order which
we recently telegraphed to Louisiana
was only partially executed
A broker on Wall street did not
rates, and considered the present
movement in the rice market as much
of speculation. The recent rise for
stock IN bond, within a month, he
considers as excessive, and the reports
rated. The market may still go up

n reduction on present prices. From
the above it will be seen that there is
much uncertainty, and if there be a
rise, it can hardly be a very remarka-
BILE one. Rice, it must be observed, is
not an article of primo necessity in
this country, and should prices go up
considerably, a very sharp reduction
in consumption would take place, thus
breaking the market.
A London report of the 18th says:
''The tone Of the market is quiet. but
business which has been almost en-
tirely on speculation, IS extensive; on
the spot soft grain has been in demand.

His autumnal years, like those Of
Dr. Franklin, were serene and cheer
full, though sometimes soiicitudc fer
his country might spread over his fca-
lures as cloud Of care. He was n

spirit, a retentive memory and rare
colloquiai talents, he charmed the
old and young by his graphic
pictures Of bygono times, and OF
the great and good men OF cur hon
ored State who had passed away, and
over whose ashes she had brooded in
SORROW. In the decline Of life he was
enlivened and invigorated hy the re-

wards had lived long enough to bury
all the friends of his youth, the last of
whom were Cadwaila1er Jones, of

cru gentleman, when the word 'tgentIe-
| man' meant something moro than a

between Chief Justice RlIifin and Mr.
Edwards for pcrioi exceeding sixty
years, amid ali the vicissitudes of
LIE from which friendship is, alas,
not exempt, and to which it has
been supposed by some to be pecu-

We publish this morning our Annual
Table of the Exports from this port.
The table is full and we believe accu'
rate, embracing most Of the articles OF
commerce.
While cur coastwise shipments hold
their own, our Foreign trade has vastly
increased especially in Cotton aud
Rosin. This is indeed very crafty
Ing.
The shipments Of Cotton show O
slight decrease from last year. This
Is partly owing to the small crop
made, but chiefly to the low prices
ruling during the past three months.
Much of the crop is etill held back,
and will show in the business Of the
present year.
The exports from Wilmington, COM
puted in dollars and cents, and allow
ing one-half million for articles not
embraced in our Table, such oG
hides, furs, tallow, cane fibre, &c.
&C, duOliAS W CsC'ct "e''H'o'-'
dollars, larger in proportion to popu-
1ation, except Savannah, OF any city
in the United States, from which we
have returns.
The present magnitude Of our ex-
port trade only shows what the future
business of Wilmington viii be when
improvements now in progress shall be
completed. Even now there should
be greater prosperity in our city than
there is. and population should in-
crease uore rapidly than it does. Tie
amount If business done here should
leave mo:s impression than now ap-
pears on ine surface. There is some
radical dCtact in the Use We make Of
our advan.a ses, which checks growth
and retards prosperity. Even with the
forward str; IS Wilmington is making,
they arenot rapid as they should be.

bosh, all fanaticism Gall it what you please,
but let "a Moravian'' read Matth. IL ca. 10 VS.
and he will fnd that the teachings OF Jesus,
whose Gospel alone his church processes to
uphold, says: Take heed that ye despise not
one of these little ones for [ say unto you,
that 10 heaven their angels do always behold
the face Of my Father which is in heaven"
The little story about the baptizing of ille-
gitimate children after the legitimate ones, is
the natural course which should be followed
it could never have happened with a Morayian
minister, for he would have turned off the lille
Ultimate ones, and thus, instead Of drawing
forth the penitent determination of getting mar
ried, Il suppose this means if they got a good
