Railroad, on the lt inst., in which a proper punishment was admin istered to an offending criminal, And in which the character of the colored race assumed a new, and in our opinion, a brighter and more commendable phase. The circumstances, as related to us by Capt. John Barry, Roadtbaster of the W. & W. Railroa i, are substantially as follows: ! J A gravel train belonging to the com pany, which gives employment to about 30 colored laborers, has been at work for some time in the vicinity of Halifax. The ratio j8 for the men are, of course furnish ed by the company. For; several week past there has been an unaccountable di minution in the meat, and 'he hands con eluded among themselves that when the thief was discovered they would, take the law into their own hands and administer adequate punishmeut. On Saturday, May 31st, it was ascertained tuat the pilferer was a mulatto named Francis Med way, working in the gang, who took the rations fc0 feed a number ot dusky female favorites h?p3Q and on Sunday morning, the 1st matant he was taken by the rest of the . . . i . i- - o nanas ana carneu iulu a uu,c mua in the village of Halifax, ana alter strip ping hirr to his waist and tying his hands, an aoie-Doaiea, wuung-miuueu, amiouu p.nlorftd man who eoes by the name of ttri.vtr" nr, aAaA tn law rn t.i his bare vuu v. v , back with a will.

The religious'revival which baa been in progress at the Front Street M. E. Church continues with unabated interest. Thus far about 15 have signified a desire to become connected with the Church, and last night about 25 penitents were at the altar invoking the mercy which should lead them into salvation. The meetings will be continued throughout the week. Rev. Mr. Yates, th9 paster of the Church, has been very ably assisted in his labors by Mr. McPhersonand wife, of the Society of Friends. Mr. McPhersou is a preacb.tr and quite au able man, While his wife pleads earnestly for the salvation of souls in the spirit of prayer. Their teachings are not in the least denominational, bat they labor to make men and women Christians, leaving the choice of Church to the option of the individual. Daily WILMINGTON; N. C The Inducements Offered. Wilm ngton present to excursionists and pleasure seekers unusual advantages and facilities. Parties along the lines of the railroads centering in tkis city would be amply rewarded by taming their at tention this way. The beautiful and fast steam yacht Pmport makes daily trips to Smithville and the fortifications and gi ves excursionists sufficient time to take long and invigorative whiffs of salt air. On the downward trip passengers have a full and excellent view of the water front including the ship yard, fluatiug compress and cotton mills and just below thf city limits the renowned Dram Tree. The river widens out to about three miles and the jetties are passed. The rice ields art next to be seeu with the famous dwellings )f the Cape Fear farmers picturesquely dotted in beautiful groves. The Light House is passed and soon a distant view of Fort Anderson, Battery Buchanan and bert Fisher is before you. The Govern. raent work of closing up New Inlet by a solid rock wall is in full view and proves that even the mighty ocean can be shut .... i out from calm water. At tne woras sheep head fishing is extensively indulged in and immense strings of fish ars caught daily. From these works Smithville can be .i -i . . l : seen in tne aistauce wuu Buippiog v anchorage in the bay. At Smithville surficent time is given passengers to walk through the garrison of Fort Johnson and saunter through the town. Crabbing caa also be indulge is and still-water bathing by these who desire it. Fort Caswell is the next point of interest where persons can with safety and comfort be landed and stand on the sea-beaten shore of the broad Atlantic. A splendid opportunity for surf or still water bathing is presented at this point. The beach is level and runs out quite a distance, offering every inducement to lovers of the surf . The government steam dredge Woodbury can be been at work on the bar, also the wrecks of several of the blockade ranners which were beached during the. late un- plesantness. Bald Head , with its tal Light House, is just opposite Caswell and on the ojean side of Caswell is the LYght (House which is now used by mariners. The ruins of Caswell are viewed with int restby all excursionists. Easy en trances yand exits can be made to the fort and the whispering galleries. The process of flooding the moat can also be understood and a ramble through the fort and over the parapets is well worth the trip. On the beach, open to all breezes, is being erected a pagoda, where the young folks can indulge in tripping the light fantastic and pater familias and stately natrons oan enjoy the invigorating breezes from across the waters. 'Gather ing up the shells by the sea shore' forms no small part of a day's enjoyment as shells abound in ah varieties and colors. The trip from this city to Caswell is made in two hours and a half. Commo dore Myers has eaused to be erected the wharf at Caswell and has used his en deavors to offer every comfort to the traveling public. Hew well he has suc ceeded can be seen daily during the arri val and departure of the boat. Capt. Harper is the cleverest of steam boat captains and assiduously studies the wants of his passengers. Everything is djne by him which will be conducive to the comfort and bappineas of even the smallest child, fle is ever willing to answer questions and point out places of interest to his passengers. With new and varied scenery, a fast, elegant and comfortable boat, a polite, competent and attentive agent and captain, rare oppor tunities for surf bathing, etc., we thik excursion parties would do well to visit Wilmington rather than go to other points where fewer inducements are offered at a much greater cost.

Tbs Whiting Rifles, with a large num ber of their friends, among whom wore many ladies, excurted to Smithville to day on the Pastport They have had a beautiful day for it and the enjoymeu' has doubtless been great. The target sheoting took place at Smithville and we are advised by telegraph that the prixo was won by Mr. Pate, who scored 11. Towers Arretted. Delafate Towers, who last Saturday morning cut Hezekiah Atkinson, both colored, was arrested last Saturday night oy special officer Whitney, under a war rant issued by Justice Scott. Whitney personally recognized Towers for his ap pearance, a proceeding so unusual on the part of a consUble, that the fact has at" tracted much attention in legal circles. We cannot see whence the authority is derived, especially as the assault was com mitted with a deadly weapon. Towers, we understand, appeared to-day and the case was postponed until Saturday next.
