COMMUNICATED
In MemoTiam,


Next Monday, the 18th inst, will
be the anniversary of the storming
of Chepultepec, in Mexico, by the
gallant band under Gen. Scott, in
1847.
The survivors will be pardoned,
we trust, for referring to those
memorable days, and speaking Of
those noble souls---the flower of
the American Army --who fell on
those fields; yet those heroes
names are craven on the tablets Of
history. There are other heroes
who have survived, but whose
modest demesnor leaves no clue
to their countrymen of their gal
liant conduct on those fields.
One of those heroes but recent
ly passed away, to whom our coun-
try at large---but more than many
others the citizens of Washington
Territory---are deeply indebted,
and yet our newspapers have
scarcely breathed his name---none
to praise him. l refer to
GEORGE E. PICKETT,
of Virginia. Lieutenant Of the sth
Infantry, in the war with Mexico he
exhibited traits of the hero then, and
was Of the party to first enter Chepul-
tepec, and he, In person, hauled down
the Aztec flag, and placed the stars
Of glory there"-the flag Of the sth
Infantry.
A Captain of the 9th Infantry in 1883,
stationed at Belllngham Bay, he wit
messed the anomaly of our citizens, liv-
ing on our own territory, subject to
many annoyances from British officials,
and desirous OF ameliorating their con-
dltion, he sought and obtained author
ity IRON Gen. Harney TO move his
command over to San Juan Island, and
arrest British arrogance on our soil.
What followed Is familiar to most of
us. With sixty men he held that IS
land, unmoved, while threatened with
terrors ofthe frigate Ganges, the war
steamers Tribune, Satellite, Plumper,
and other vessels, and the troops
brought from the Frazer river. No
courage could have been more severely
tested, for 1t Is the moments preceding
the opening Of battle that try mems
souls. But this movement aroused the
attention Of the civilized world. Eu-
ropean nations inquired what all this
row" was about and learned that
cur climate, our soil, and our inland
seas were things worth fighting for.
But for Pickett. Emperor Wilhelm
would have known but little, and cared
much less abont Washington Territory
When the passions aroused by the
fierce struggles consequent upon the
efforts Of the Southern States to secede
from our Union have calmed down, we
will, as we should, do homage to the
name Of PICKETT. Can we forget our
debt to him, simply because he, like
Robert +. lee, StOnewall Jackson,
Lewis Armlstead, the Garnetts, and
many other noble sous Of Virginia, at
the call OF his native State, linked his
fortunes to his native land? When
Lee surrendered Pickett retired to
private life and became like him an ex-
emplary citizen. All who had the
pleasure Of his acquaintance in this
Territory can testify to his many Vir-
tues, his hospitality, his agreeable
manners and his Independence che

The Washington Fashions, This VIM

The dressing in Washington this winter is
said to have been not 30 gorgeous as usual, but
in much better taste. Many ladies have not
hesitated to wear their toettes of one or two
seasons since, even when quite pronounced, and
with young ladies' particularly this has been OF
frequent occurrence. Still there are always
some that are fresh and magnificent, and that
give lustre to the scene.
Mrs Secretary Bristow who Is in mourning, has
very notable reception dress of black velvet,
en- trdir.e and perfectly plain, with high coraage
and long tight lifting sleeves over this IL worn
an apron front over-dress and cuirass jacket OF
black Brussels net completely covered with M
embroidery of jet flowers crlmped ctepa lis4e
at throat and wrists, aud diamond oeket aud
ear rings, completed the dress, whose dark
splendor-if one might combine the two terms
was extraordinarily becoming to the exquisite
brunette beauty OF the wearer.
Mrs. Bslknap, another lovely brunette, wore
on her first appearance after the birth OF her
little daughter an embroidered black velvet ear
riage dress, demi-train and polonaise, with q
black velvet hat, whose brlm turned mp and
lined with white satin, was secured by an agrotte
of white feathers.
One of Mrs. Fred Grants pretty toilettes is
silk of delicate shade of blde, embroidered by
hand in bright colors, roses and leaves OF the
natural tinta and boldly raised, flowers running
round the sqnare mock, and round the edges OF
basque and overskirt, the drapery OF the skirt
composed of broad and long sash embroldered
IN the same style. Another ana YET more ueuusi-
fu dress of this young lady who is noted for
her sweet voice, graceful movements, and faa
cinating manners, is of pale mauve silk, which
she decorates with her bridal laces, part of which
is the whole over dress in ono piece OF point
With this are worn some large pearls, aud a
pompon in the dark hair that is parted on one
side.
Mrs. Attorney Goueral Williams's toilette at
her last reception consisted OF a silk Of ala'
marine color, trained, aud trimmed with point
ilnn nl.r,b bts.t. "a
aud the hair was dressed in a cjroneb with dla'
monds.
Mrs. President Grant has appeared at most Of
her Saturdays in quiet steel gray fik simply
trimmed with black thread lace. Her jewelry
with this was diamonds and pearls, and he
hair was dressed in the Catogan queue ana
putfs.
The tendency OF all the lately importet
dresses has been toward moro and more plain
ness in the matter of trimming and more ant
more richness in material.

As is now pretty generally known among the

which is to be built at the Presbyterian settle
tIement at Cape May. Tomorrow, work Will
be begun on the hotel by j. E. Hughes, we'll
known contractor Of Philadelphia, and
under the terms Of the contract the
25th day of May next. This hotel will be four
stories IN height, $50 feet long by 40 feet wide,
and will be furnished with all modern improve
ments. The rooms will all be lighted with gas,
and water will be introduced upon each floor.
The rite selected is i'll the midst of the settle
ment, about midway between Cape Island prop
or and the steamboat landing, and between tho
turnpike and tue ocean. pavilion for religious
Worship capable of seating 1900 persons. ID now
being built i'll the of the hotel site, and six
cottages are now being framed in Camden for
removal to their future location as soon as the
weather moderates. 1t is expected that not less
than 40 cottages will be built before the season
Closes The Railroad Company has already
agreed to extend its tracks and deliver passel-
gers at the hotel without extra charge, but easy
access will also be afforded by the street car
lines which are to pass i'll close proximity to
it. We understand that the charter for the
Street Car Company has already been obtained
| from the Legislature. The drives about the
hotel are already being graded--iine avenues
| 100 fest wide. Mir. AlcAdam, OF Philadelphia, is
| the contractor for this work.
| Col Sawyer expects to move into the hotel by
June LIST, and to open it to the public on the 10Th
| of June. AS in the past. he will most likely en-
| ioy large share of Wilmington patronage,
Which iustities us in the consumption Of this
much space to describe the comforts and
conveniences which he will have in his
new location. We have no doubt he
will carry with him to this hotel the same good
| management which has characterized his occu-
patton of the Clayton House-a position which
| he will surrender next month to the great re-
gret of his numerous friends in Wilmington.
They will rejoice, however, in his good fortune

THE RESULT, THUS FAR-ALMosT FOUR HUNDRED
coSvLRsioNs n WILMINGTON.
The Methodist reviyals which have been in
progress in this city for several weeks past are
now closing with record of probably unexam-
ped achievements. We have not the data our
selves, nor can We obtain it from any source that
we at present know of, with which to make q
comparison with the result of former years, but
there is d well founded belief that the accom-
ollshments of the Methodist churches in this city
during the present conference year 1s greater
than for any year i'll the immediate past. sum-
med up, the result stands thus :
At Grace there have been about 50 CONVEX
sons, 60 Of the professors uniting thems elves
with this church. The meeting is still in pro-
gress, with an undmiuished interest," and the
altar is still well filled with penitents
Ihe meeting at Union Church is now in its
seventh week, and up to Sunday night 80 CON
versions had been recorded. No abatement il
vet noticed in the interest of the meeting, and
| The number Of persons who present themselves
| at the altar nightly is as great as ever,
| At St. Pau's the nesting closed last week
| with about u dozen conversions.
Asbury closed its series of meetings more
| than a week ago, between so aud 90 person;
having professed change OF heart.
| Scott church also closed it's meetings some
| days ago. thirty conversions, probably, having
been made. twenty five persons connected
| themselves with the church.
| The meetings at Brandywine have been dis
continued for the present, aud the report from
| that clurch is 20 conversions.
The chapels OF Grace church have also en-
loved a season OF revival, Madely having recent
| " closed with about II conversions. AT Epwortl
no regular season is observed, but Whenever th,
indications are favorable for series Of meeting
they are begun. In this way 10 conversions ar
reported by the pastor during the year, and D
peraons have been taken into the church on pro
bation-a number sufficient to maintain thu
standard of membership in the church whicl
was sadly depleted by removals from the cit,
consequent upon the depression in business.
In all, the conversions number within one Q
four hundred A noteworthy feature in all tn

have been gathered in, and increased prospert
is anticipated i'll all.

40 car loads of coal, alone, besides grain and
