Cuckiog his (tun, at a distance of about sev- Dtv varda. he carelully watched the movements of the animal, wbieb, after stooping over the water for a few moments, partly roae aad started forward. The aolJier fired with deadly aim. The animal fell and struggled conyuUively oa the ground. Afraid to ap proach. lest its powers of doing mischief should not he exhausted, tbe.soldier ran to the hue of a Mr. llrteke, aud beggnd him to arm himself with an axe, and aid in securing the booty, With cautious step aud weapons ready for intant use they approched the aupposed bear; when, instead of that beast, there ap- , peartd to - their horrified ys the body or a soldier, : weheriog-4a hi-bbod, trutte'deadf TbTight-i)nd oMhe corpsetightly claaped a tooth-bruah, whjch.no Joubl he waa uVing-wteu-the-(alilliaH toocffocl."

CoK Jones firat mounted the works, waving his wrested from the hands of its commanding oflicr his arms. The brave men of the 85tb Regiment followed their gallant Colonel, some crawling through the port ho'.ea and others climbing over the high euibahKnient, to the utter .astonishment of the garrison.

' 1 Mr. Janes M. Leach, of N. C, asked leave to make an explanation of his position, and alluded to an ar ticle published in tbexxaminer, which he stated made a fling notqnly at him particularly but also at hia State. He also alluded to various misrepreseutationa which he aaid had been made about the positiob and senti ments of the people of North Carolina, and of his dis trict particularly, winch bad been misunderstood, He btatea" that he was a peace man on the basis tf the kaewWg4ui(ii-flie-inJrrMef)cocfvlhe-CpnfejH crate Mutts at the emi nent possible day, and bo far as his district was concerned there was not a truer, more loyal, or law-abiding people in the Confederate States, lia waa thV representative of contervatite dirtrict but had never yet heard an exprestdon from a solitary man of bis constituency that looked ,to reconstruction at any time. He is in the same position, and so is' North Carolina, as 'Vice-President Stephens, and Gov ernor Brown, of Georgia,' &o. Mr. J, T.

If any .other treason or disleyalty existed he did not kuow it.. At this point, Mr. Sta ples, of sked the Hon. gentleman from Nsrtli Carolina, tbe'question if he was for peace on any terms asa basis, other than the acknowledgement of the in dependence of the Confederate States. To which be replied:, lam for peace opon the basis of the acknow ledgement of the Confederacy if itcan be obtained, but if not, I am for peace on the beyt terms I can get it short of subjugation. (Sensation.) Mr. Staplea said that he was- not aatisfied with the answer, and was, proceeding to address the House, but Mr. Atkins,' of Tennessee, objected on the ground that debate would be unprofitable, (with that except tion, the consent of the House was.uuanimous,jfand tue suijf ct was dropped. ;- ; - , NEGROES IN LONDON."

OuTutsday last three citixeus tf Long Creek Dis trict, iu this cunty viz: Messrs. L. 1. Cherry. P Montague and Wm. II.

When Mr. Cherry aad Mr. Montague approached the negro'a camp in Long Creek Swamp, about eight miles oeiow Long. (.reek UriUge, the negro waa lying iownr but on eeiug them he made movementa indica tive of surrender, going on hia knees and holding out in) nanus; but wii'D Uiey drew near, he sprang up, seized a double barrelled gun, and snapped it at them, Mr. tuerry turning the muzzle aside. Mr. Cheny drew a revolver, but could uot una.it. Id the ecu the the negrcgot Mr. C.'s left haod forefinger in his mouth aud bit it off between the first-ana second joint, leav in; it banging by a slight integument. Mr. Cherry .struck at him severf " tioiea with a hatchet but failed to make him let o hia linger. Finally the negro got hold of the hatchet and struck ; both Mr. Montague and Mr. berry witb it. In the progress of the fig-lit Mr Montague got possession ef the hatchet and used it on the negro, who was fcna.7 subdued, all parties being bv this time Covered witti blood. The mtrra tantrht ljlPgrV'iljxJMA was captured and bound, and jgpow lodged in jail in Wilmington . Wii. Jour. Sd. -ATTEMPT TO GARROTE.-- ' We learn that last evening a littleasfter, 7 o'clock,. on Sd street, near the railroad track, an attempt waa made by two eoldiera to garrote a stranger, for the puipun of robbing him.. The gentleman was asked the hour and tbeu choked. One of the eoldiera waa armed with his musket, the stranger who waa attacked wir wtrraymsraed' Wwere alio two citizens of the placef whp were onlya few yards distant. How the thing ended we do not know, save that the attempt was unsuccessful, and the assailants we suppose escaped. It would be advisable for citizens to, carry arms, and for all unknown persons out at night to be compelled to give an account of themselves, also for the military authorities to be particular as to what soldiers remain in town at night. It was not quite dark when this Affair occurred which, makes it more daring.
