I j 1861 it amounted to $4,064,239 ; in 1862 to $2,932596; in 1864 to only $249,813; in 1864 the earnings of the department exceeded its ex- ditarea $6,898,954. . en. S vnyne telegraphs the Freedmen's Bureau from M mg mery, Ala., under date of, August 261b, that i be propensity to rob has intreased to an unpre cedented extent consequent upon the unsettlement of 'the (ucctions of civil law, and has resulted in keeping the socta.1 body in a state of coi. tinned, turmoil in jt8 .endeavors to retaliate upon the perpetrators of the robberies. These matters are being adjusted as rap Idly al possible. The Rev. Father Feehan, Pastor of the Iinmacfu late Conception Church in St. Louis, has been ap pointed by the H'iy See Bishop of N whville, Ten nessee. . ; The Boston Transcript says the war debt of Massachusetts, for which it can rightly demand reimbursement from the Federal Government, orig inally amounted to upward of $8,000t000. The Philadelphia Volunteer Refreshment; Sa loons has been closed after having, during four ' years md three months, entertained all soldiers passing through the city, numbering 1,200,000 per son, without gexpense to the soldiers or the gov ernment. The TJnionjSaloons will, however, still. be usod to entertain returning veterans as long as 4any.fimds remain in the treasury. 4 The captain of a British schooner, which ar rived it Orleans, on the 15th inst., reported I that about a dozen deserters or discharged men troHi we umtea estates army or navy had been en gaged in piraiyl operations on the coast of Hon duras, having murdered the crew of a small acnoon na setting sail in it, captured other vea- I sels. They wre last seen near the coast of CNv., I with an English vessel in pursuit. I Da Bow, late of the Southern Review, bearing his rnne, has arrived in Washington, with his wife and children. f The Louisville Journal thinks that if John C. ! Breckinridge were to run for Governor of Ken- tacky, he would get nearly all the votes casC for I the anti-amendment ticket. i - i . The "mass meeting of the citizens of Rich I caond," convoked for the purpose of testifying to the country the loyality of that community to the fConstitution and laws of the United States, took place on the 29th inst. The attendance was large, including many of the oldest a most respectable re sidents of the city. Judge Win. H. Lyons officia ted as President. Speeches were made and resolu tions passed, the latter endorsing the respective pol icies of President Johnson and Gov. Pierpont. Great enthusiasm prevailed. I The fees of the health officer for the port of New York amount to $100,000, and his powers are said to ,be more absolute and unrestrainod than the Presi dent of the United States. Horace Greeley and Thurlow Weed are boring the public with a personal quarrel by means of com munlcitioDs published in the Tribune and Times. Jreeley says that " a controlling mind" fixed the day for the New York Conventions, both Democratic and Uoion, Weed says he didn't do it, thereby mod estly (?) pleading guilty to the profession ot a " con trolliog mind" and so it goes. Among the owners of a largd auaouot of property in Vifgiuia advertited by General Howard as confia .cated appears the names of General Eppa Hutton, 'late of the Rebel army ; Commodore French Forrest jand Kincbeloe, the gueritia. The proper ty is diviaed into two hundred and three lots,-situated in Loudoun, Fairfax, Elizabeth Cit t Prince William,. Warwick York aud Norfolk counties, and in the, cities of Ports mouth and Norfolk. Gov. Brownlow, of Tenn., is what A Ward would call "ayooneek kuss.' He receives daily numerous renqests to endorse applications for par don, and the following incidents will show in what a quaint way he sometimes gets around a flat refu sal. A short time since, Gideon J. Pillow sent his pphoation for the Governor's endorsement. He snooreed it as follows : 44 Were I the President of &e United States I would pardon this mau on the ground that nothing but bis vanity took hiro4nto ine rebellion." On another aDnlicatkm he en dorsed as follows : " This man deserved hanging berore the rebellion, and he has done nothing since to leison hjs chance." ? - Toutant Beaureeard. late a cantain in the reb- 11 artillery, and a nephew of General Beauregard, I Wa arrested a few days ago by the federal author I es whUe leaving New Orleans for New York city, f rj P'won of the same name if not the same . indi f !Jdual-1ely became a. n&luralrzed tubject of tho TIE VOL V 1 THE CITY. The Convention To-Dat. Unless something not anticipated should prevent, we presume all the pre cincts or election districts of Wake will be fairly represented in the county convention to .assemble in this city to day. The proceedings will be in vested with mora than ordinary interest from the fact that its action will show to the government at Washington ihe exact per centage of bona fide de votion to tho Union which exists in the ucinity of Raleigh. We trust that the utmost harmony may pervade its counsels, so that in all things .the home press as well as the correspondents of north ern journals may not find material for truthfully charging that our professions and love for the restored government are not sincere. Every sane man must feel that if a ticket be framed with a sus picious name on it we shall deserve and receive ery little support from our friends at the North who are now battling with manly zeal against those radicals in their midst who are anxious to keep the State in a semi-territorial condition. If the delegates to the convention are 'only true to themselves, the interests of the State and the South, we 8hallhave only Union men of the strait est sect such men as will enable President John son and his party to point to their nomination as proof of the wisdom of their plan of reconstruction. A contrary show of names will work such mischief as we may nut be able to repair by any after thought or action. Limiting Transportation. Gen. Ruger, who will probably remain in command of the depart ment of North Carolina, has discharged ail his du- I ties in such relation in a manner quite as sat isfactory to the people "as the government. He has steadily set his face against abuses- which grew u preceding his administration and referred them as rapidly as possible. Among other things, we find that he has decided t suspend the sys tem of indiscriminate transportation heretofore tol erated. In an order dated Raleigh, Aug. 15th, 1865 No. 128, he say sj " Hereafte no orders for free tra sportation of citizens over military railroad, or by government boats, within the limits of the department, will be given by post or other commanders, except to such as are traveling on public business of the United States. 'Transportation by such roads or boats will be furnished to refugees and freedmen, only on the re quisition of the proper officer of the Freedmen' s " Information has been received o, m'tter of transportation of freedmen, ttCFuse iu iu" and caution must be used by the officers of the Freedmen's Bu reau, that requisitions for transportation are only made in cases where required by the interests of Government." . Military Going and Gone. The 129th and 120th Indiana volunteers, stationed at Charlotte, have been mustered out and are now on their way home, if not already there. TheH24th Indiana left Greensboro yesterday en route for home. The 48th New York troops, that have made-many friends in this city and vicinity, are expected to leave Raleigh this morning, and Gotham will doubt less give them a magnificent reception. These changes will leave only one or two regi-, ments west of Raleigh, we believe, with the excep- tion of the 5th Ohio cavalry, stationed at Morgan- toh. Take the Oath. From every section of the Old North State we have tidings that the people in great numbers are taking the oatb. This is the proper spirit, and not only, we trust, evinces the obliteration of past differences and cordial loyalty, but a jast sense of the importance of the conventional election soon t occur. If we have only the disposition, there is no lack of power in uso make North Cajolita the very first State in the Union. Let our citizens move for ward at once, then, in qualifying themstlvs as voters and not wait until the eleventh hour. Luxuries Present ad Future. The epicures of Raleigh have been experimenting successfully . and with great gusto on delightful fish fresh from the waters of the sea coast, for a week past. We are glad to learn that as soon as the weather and trans portation justifies the adventure, Lynnhaven bay and Western Branch oysters, as well as hog fish and spors, will be offered, here in abundant sup plies. Row at Goldsboro. A passenger by the train Thursday evening, informed us thara difficulty oc curred between a negro soldier and a white officer, at that place that morning, during the progress f which cuffy was handled very roughly. A number of negroes, as is always the case, came off second best. Beaufort. We call attention of those who may contemplate visiting Beaufort to the card of Mrs. Fulford , who takes boarders by the day, week or month. She only charges $10 a week and wa are assured by those who have tried the house t hat it is excellent. i Neeb-ino Repair. In our peregrinations through the cit 7 the other day we happened to pass the Cemetej ry and were pained to see the neglect manifes ted by our city fathers in letting the fence around the enclosure go to decay and crumbling to the ground, and cattle within eating the shrub bery pimpttd by th frienda of deparUd ons. - . - - - .Si f ' .

There was a modera-e demand upon the patience of our worthy friend, Capt. Mclvor, yesterday, but him self and assistants managed to preserve their usual equanimity. The first case was that of John Ross, colored, who complained against Rufus Wilkes and John McGowan, (col'd) for their rcfu-alto pay him $100 which he alleged was justly due. The record in the case shows that the sura in dispute grew out of some female arrangements not embraced in the partnership agreement which found ed the Peace and Liberty Eiting Saloon It was decided that as all the' partners could n t have like privileges, Ross should withdraw from the firm, WilU.au ni ttpul&tiug r-- turn hundred dollars retiring money. Oae hundred was pi inked d wn, with verbal assurance that the re mainder should be paid over in a few days. Plain tiff applied to them some days afterwards, ; and VV. & McG. professed they did not ewe him a bal ance and flourished a pistol to wari him of the con sequences of growing importunate in his demand. Upon these facts the provost crdered the defend ants to pay the remaining hundred within one hour and in default thereof sent them to the guard house until the decision has been complied with. Henderson Harris vs. W. T. Lee, for the wrong ful detention of a mule, was decided in favor of the plaintiff on condition of $10 being paid defendant. Peter, small colored boy, arrested on the charge of stealing a pair of shoes, was discharged for want of evidence sufficient to punisi him. Sallie Acock, on. complaint, svas required to va- care premises owned by J. H. Alfred, within five days, or pay rent therefor. Biva Irvin entered complaint against W. A. Wil liams, charging him with theconversion of a trunk and content of the value of sixty-three dollars. Case not decided. Frescoing. We direct special attention of those wh.'Se doLoici hA7e lost trnr beauty durlDg the war, !to the iaot that they now hae a fine opportunity to euect rneir repair. Frescoes are as appropriate in the private mansion as. the pubic hall, and if they call on Mr Lo ; Fr.or,e, it the Exchange Hotel, he will doubtless convince them tb.it a living artist is in their midst. Gold in the Cards. We have a large lot of fine paper on hand, and can print military blanks, court blanks, circulars, catalogues, &c, at the shortest notice, and at northern prices. Also it lara 4pt of ( cards-on handr prrart from $0 to watWTTTssmrr- ted at Progress Office. Regular Worship.? We are eia to Uaro that nearly all the religious denominations in the city have resumed worship la their churches not only on the Sabbath, but duriag the week, day as well as nignt, as m days-gone-by. To-morrow, tne uap- tist, Methodist.EpiscopaVau and Presbyterian church- es will be opn and services held. Strangers in the city will always findseatsln all of them. Straps that Didn't PLy Some men, reported to have been members of the 47th New York in fantry, were brought dewn from Newbern, last evening, for wearing shoulder straps.. They may pay dear for this whistle. Acting Assistant Inspector General. Maj. N. J. Prink, of the 28th Michigan infantry, has been detailed as Acting Assistant .Inspector Gener- al of the department of Noth Carolina. This is an admirable selection. Detached. Bv orier from headauarter s. the county of Robeson has been detached from the dis trict of Raleigh, and tie county of Richmond from that of West North parolina, and both added to the district of Wilmington. Tar. The Petersbuig Express famishes the fol lowing and we presume some one of our enterprising business housea will respond to it: "We understand from a merchant that this article is in demand here, but straDge to say, there is not a barrel in the city: When we reflect that in the r d- I Kming State of North Carolina there are probably !-- . . ill thousands ot barrels, which the owners wouia n pleased to dispose of, it seems that here Is a fine chance tor speculation. The wonder is, that some enterpris ing man does not seiz? the opportunity and mako pmney by the movement." A Crowd. One bcu.lred North Carolirians regis tered at Jarrett's and the Bollingbr'ook hotel, in Petersburg, on the 30th ult., eight of whom were fr-.m this city. Pretty respectable visiting. - Our Cotemporaries. The Standard has kept up a heavy Cannon ade on the Sentinel for several days, and though tbe Sentinel responds feebly, it keeps Pell-ting away. Marrying. Since the 13th of last April, forty nine marriage licenses have oeen issued from the clerk's office of the county. Pretty good for Wake. We presume the list embraces bleached and unbleached. j The 48th New York 592 men nd29 officers left here this morning on the Gaston train, for Pe tersburg Relieved. Maj. E. B.
