                 LT. THOMAS C. JAMES
   It is with sorrow that we have to record the name of LT. THOMAS COWAN 
JAMES, among those who perished with the prisoners executed at Havana. It 
would have been less painful to report the death of this martyr in the cause 
of liberty, if an opportunity had been afforded him to strike one blow for 
freeedom, and he had perished while "stemming with mighty effort the tide of 
battle."
   The report of his death was received here with the most painful emotions, 
as he was a Wilmingtonian, and while among us was universally loved and 
esteemed. We deeply sympathize with his kindred and friends -- for he also was 
with us a friend and favorite. He was, indeed, capable of eliciting warm 
attachments. -- Wil. Commercial
