The address was a reproduction of that entitled "The Early Times and Men of the Cape Fear' which' was first delivered before the two Societies at Chapel Hill in 1833, and which had since ranked as one of the best papers extant relative to' the history of the State.

Tile battery of the Cape Fear Light Artillery, spoken of by us elsewhere, is the fiit that we have ever 6een on the streets of Wilmington in the hands of a volun teer compauy. The last time we saw any of the sort here was on the 21st day of February, 18G5, the last day of the oc cupation of Wilmington by. the Confed erate forces. On that day Col. Jno. J. Hed erick's command, retreating from Fort Anderson, reached the city and in the com mand wasCapt. A. A. Moselye's battery of Whitworth guns. During the forenoon the advance of the enemy came in sight on the causeway opposite the city. They had left their artillery behind them and imagining that the Confederate forces had already left the city, they came gaily on to take possession. - They could be plainly discovered, advancing along the causeway with their flag floating proudly in the air, commanded, as it was afterwards ascer tained, by a Capt. Bradley, who at.the close of the war was of the firm of Brad ley & Wochler, commission merchants, who during the year 1865 did a smashing big business in the building now occupied by Messrs. Kcrchncr&: Calder Bros. ,The Confederates, however, were not in a big hurry about leaving town after all, as our blue coated friends soon ascertained! Col. Iledrick orderedJCapt. Moscleyjto bring up one .of his pieces, and the gun was planted at the intersection ef Market and Fr out streets, to the south of the Market House, and a shell was sent out to meet the ad vancing column. The shot was witnessed by many ladies and children who viewed the scene from Market street, as far up as Fourth, and when the smoke cleared away not a blue coat was to be seen. The shell had fallen some few feet to the left of the column, in the swampy soil and its explo sion coverel Capt. Bradley and some of his men w ith mud. It was the first and last fiht of the, war at Wilmington, and this was the last battery we saw in the old town. The next morning the place was in the hands of the Federals but they did not come from tho Brunswick side of the river, but from below the en trenchments which Gen. Hoke's division had thrown up four , miles below the city and which reached clear across the penin sula, from the river to the Sound. That night (the "night . of the 21st) the railroad ferry boat, the llaillee, tlfe little supply' steamer John Dawson and all of the transports in the river were set on fire. The illumination was a brilliant one and anything passing ou the opposite side of the river could be seen as easily as in daylight, but there was nothing to be seen. At nearly 4 o'clock A. M. of the 22d we stood at the foot of Princess street and looked eagerly at the houses at the old depot on Eagle's Island for a glimpse of the enemy, but if they were there they could not be seen. An hour afterwards we were on the road and Hoke having at that time effected a! junction with Hagood and Iledrick, from Fort Anderson, Wil mington was evacuated. The Confederate col -.u nu pushed on to the Xorth aud burned the railroad bridge behind them over the Xortheast river, 9 miles above the city. Here, a few hours afterwards, the Yankee forces came up, but as- they could-iH)t cross the river they had to con tent themselves with an artillery duel; aud this was the last we saw of Wilming ton during the war.

Taylor, the forger, spekcu of by us yester day, was concluded last evening in the Criminal Court. The defendant was fouud. guilty and sentenced to eight years imprisonment in the Penitentary. Wal ker, or Taylor as his1 name may be, is from the Western part of the State and i a man of a good education. The Thermometer.

The following cases were disposed cf this morning as fallows : Two gay young Lotharios (gemmen of color,) were brought before the Mayor this morning, charged with disorderly conduct and threatening or resisting the jpplice officer who arrested then. The evidence given in by the policeman who made the arrest went" to prove that these sable youths were on a sort of a lark about the wee , hours of the morning, when they were overhauled by officer McMillan, of thu night force, and brought up standing at the station house. The Mayor fined them 25 a piece for their jollification and ordered them locked up until the fine is paid. A well-dressed young white man, evi dently a stranger in these parts, had a wrestle with John Barley Corn last night on the wharf, and was thrown Hat" on his back, where he remained until the police came along, picked him up and carried him to the guard- house. The Mayor released him with' a fiuc of 5, which he forked over and departed, a sad der if not a - better man. Rose Tyler, a colored weuch' of ill re pute, and an old offender, was arrested for disorderly conduct. His Honor, with a long-drawn sigh, ordered her to the cell to be dosed with bread and water.

The four guns of the Cape Fear Light Artillery have all been mounted and to gether with the caissons, harness and accoutrements have been stored in the Currie building, on Princess street. The guns arc 3-inch rilles aud are evidently just from the shops, as the duat. from the borings is still iu them, evincing, very plainly, that they have never been used. They weigh blG pounds to the naked gun, and everything is now on hand ex cept the horses and the ammunition. The former will be supplied by the Compauy and the latter will lie requisitioned for (with some hope of being received) and a request enclosed that a few shot aud shell will be thrown in "just to fill up" s that a little actual practice may be had by the Company. We understand that the Com pany will go into immediate drill at the guns with the expectation of a public parade with them on the Fourth of July. Appleton for July. Aj'pletons' Jcurnal for. July gives con siderable space to a novelette by Christian Reid, entitled "A Work of Retribution," It is given complete, and accompanied by a good illustration by Mr. Shcppard. The illustrated article is based upon Russell's volume, "The Prince of Wales's Tur in India." Colonel Baker's "Turkey in Europe" affords the groundwork for another Eastern paper. There is a pleas ing description of the Fame Islands, the "land of gulU and guillemots," off the east coast of England, which is spiced with a love-adventure. An amusing paper on "Osculation" gives the history, philosophy, and poetry, of kissing. An entertaining paper, by Wirt Sikes, is entitled "The True Story of Owen Glen dower." A very graphic ' and striking sketch, entitled "Lighting a Match," records some strange aoVentarea in a German inn. Mr. II. M. Robinson describes in an entertaining manner the characteristics of the Blackfeet Indians, and the peculiar methods of trad ing with them." There are poems, short articles mainly of a humorous character nnder the head of "Collectanea," and. the editor's usual review of books, aud com ments en current topics. , , Wilmington-, X. C, Jtme 8, 1877.. . Ei.iTon Review : : Your recent rotico of the datura has induced me to send yon this plea for the "jimson tcceds." Of the ornamental class of datura plants there are four atrovicK lacea plenissitna, which has dark vl .let flowers; fastuosa, herberiana, with largo double lilac flowers, inside nearly white; wrighti, white with blue borders; humulis' flowers large, double, of a rich nankeen yellow, delightfully fragrant. This last I grew in my yard last year and though the plant itself is not attractive the blooms are fine, being large, delicate in color and very fragrant. Of the common roadside datura or Jamestown -weed, I know of three varieties the white, the-jmrple and the white with lilac borders. Although these plantslrre disfiked by everyone as tcceds they should be allowed to grew for many excellent reasons. The medical men know well the value of the stramon ium plant, aud it is strange that a. plant so easily obtained in this country, pos sessing such powerful and peculiar prop erties, should have so little attention be stowed upon.it. . - Stramonium ointment is so. useful no family should be without it; for intlam tory rheumatism, tumors, all kinds of painful ulcers, cancers, and for many other complaints it is very valuable. The ex tract is almost identical in medicinal rir tures to belladonna, is antagonistic to the poisonous effects of opium, is serviceable where opium cannot be given, is 'useful dropped into the eye previous to the ope ration for cataract.- . Combined with luinia, it formal most invaluable prepa ration .which has been fonnd very benefi cial in intermittent fevers," all periodic headachcs,dcliriumtrcmens,&c.indisusetl to allay rheumatic and neuftdgic pains. The green leaves of the datura, bailed er heated in fresh milk, makes a most sooth-" ing as well as curative application for the ordinary inflamed suppurating erysipelas. Ladies preparing specimens of skeleton leaves aud flowers will find the seed cap sules of the poor despised Jamestown' weed make the loveliest, lace-like looking specimens-of anything they can col lect. - S. J. Dear Review: A complaint- column in ( your valuable paper would prove a convenience to the community at large, for the management of affairs in our city affords abundant grounds for complaint. Among the many things to find, fault with at present,is the dangerous amusement of fast driving iudulgcd in on the turn pike. This, Mr. Editor, is pleasing to be hold, and very gratifying'no doubt to the young "bloods" holding the reins,' but there is not a day that some one docs not run a risk in crossing the pike anywhere between Fifth and Ninth streets. Two iustanccs came under my observation on Saturday, afternoon. Let it be stopped before it is too late. Let the O'ty fathers regulate the rate of speed to bo driven within the city limits, and, for con venience, require vehicles to keep to the right. , I cnjjy fine horses and fast driv ing, but I enjoy my children more, and for their safety 1 beg that this dangerous sport be stopped, and that racing will hereaft .r be Confined to that part of the turnpike lying beyond the city limits. Knowing your readiness always to con tribute to the comfort of you patrons, I beg you will call attention to this matter m your paper. June i:jf 1877. A SCBSCniRER.' Trouble in the Household.'
