I Another Cutting Scrape Yesterday morning between 6 and 7 o'clock, near the corner of Sixth and Market, a serious cutting affray occurred which resulted in almost immediate death. The person who inflicted the woundi is not known to the authorities and as no one, that we can hear of, saw the murderous assault, we are unable to state with what kind of a knife the assault was made. The wound, which is in the right side, is about two inches in length and is thought to be, by thoss who saw it, four or five inches deep, resulting in almost instantaneous death. It wasa dorg who wanted to bite some body, but only "bit the dust." - A Whopper. Yesterday morning Capt. Henry H. Jackson came into this city and reported through our Custom-House officially, the loss of his brig, W. H. Marshall, off the coast of North Carolina, near Topsail In let, about 40 miles north of Cape Fear. The wreck occurred on the 25th day of April last, and was occasioned by the col liding of the brig with an unknown steamer. The brig sunk in about ten minutes after the collision, at.d was a total loss. She was from Porto Rico, loaded with coffee, and bound for New Haven, Connecticut. The crew consisting of eight men were saved, but- lost everything. After reaching the shore they walked to Magnolia, on the Weldon and Wilming ton railroad a distance of 80 miles, and from thence Capt Jackson came toGolds boro and from there to this city by pri vate conveyance. Capt. Jackson left for Richmond yes terday, walking the distance, and from thence will go -to his home in Westmore land county. His vessel was insured in the Merchant and Marine Insurance Company in New York, for the sum of $10,500. ' The above is from the Petersburg Index-Appeal of yesterday's date. It is quite evident that our inland neighbor nas been taken in and that "Capt." Jack son has invented the whole thing for the purpose of conning a few dollars for his own use and benefit. , He should be over hauled and brought to the dock with a short light. Here are a few facts in refu tation of his statement: Topsail Inlet is not 40 miles from Wilmington, but is rnuch-nearff 14; if the "brig" sunk in ten minutes alter the -collision" and all of her crew escaped, it was the most re markable thing of the' kind on record; how "Capt. Jackson" managed to get a cargo of coffee, in Porto Rico is not very clear; if he did it was the first cargo of the kind wo have ever heard of from that 'port; and, finally, no such vessel as the brig IF. H. Marshall is known in the mer- i chant service of this or any other country. tf the U.S. custom-house officials" at Petersburg want a first class item let them overhaul that unfortunate son of Neptune, "Capt. Henry H. Jackson," and force him to prove a few of the peculiar facts he has stated. The steamer Underhill carried down a good crowd this morning 'to Smithville on the excursion given complimentary to the 4j!i?gate8 to it he Diocesan Convention Dlstressliig Affliction. i The entire community was deeply grieved to learn, late last evening, of the aad affliction which has fallen upon one of its most esteemed members, Captain Thomas C. DeRosset. Just at the close of the ceremonies at the cemetery yester day afternoon and the moment after issuing some command to his company, the Whiting Rifles, he became uncon scious and fell to the ground. It was at first thought that he had been overcome by the heat and had fainted, but after having been driven to his home Dr. Thomas announced that he was suffering under a paralytic attack. Since that time he has remained in almost entirely the same condition, in which he was found at fir3t. He sleeps most of "the time but when aroused in sensible. The paralysis extends over a large portion of his left side. He is in a very critical condition, and thejphysicians seem unwilling to venture any opinion as to the result. This afternoon, how ever, it1 is asserted that a slight change is perceptible, and that this is for the better. This change consists in the fact that he is more easily aroused to-day than was the case last night. It ;s a second attack of a somewhasimilar nature, the first, which was much lighter, having occurred about two years ago. As we have said, Capt. Dellosset's con dition is a very critical one, but his many friends will not believe that it can result disastrously.) He has everything in his favor, youth, strength, excellent habits and alife of exceeding correctness, and they hope that the attack may succumb to these. God grant that his life and strength may be spared. ' I I Tlie Cross of St-Johns'. We understand that the dramatic per formance given a short time since by the cadets of the Cape Fear Military Acad emy, the Cross of St. John's, lis to be re peated on Friday evening, the 24th inst., for the benefit of St. John's Church. Full particulars will be made known in a few days. , Foa the Review. Major Charles W. 3IcClammy for Congress. Mb. Editor: Your 1 recent complimentary allu sions to this working-man's friend and favorite of the people are cordially endorsed by the farmers, mechanics, and laborers. You are correct in say ing that his fine abilities, public ser vices, and high character, have given him a distinguished position among his fellow citizens generally. You are right in saying that he is one of our best farmers, a hard laborer upon his farm day in and day out, from year to year, and that his pursuits and his sympathies are with the farm ers and laboring classes. His bronzed face and hands show that he is one ol those toiling and moiling - laborers upon the farm, that have been here tofore excluded almost entirely from the halls of Congress. Aud yet, Ma jor McCIammy is one of the best speak ers, and one of the ablest men in the State. His hosts of friends in the Third Congressional District will press his nomination for Congress be fore Jthe Democratic District convention to be held at Clinton on the 31st of May. He has every quali fication, moral, intellectual, and po litical, for the position of a represen tative in Congress from this district. Years ago he led a forlorn hope, and by his energy, skill, and eloquence as a .campaigner, was elected to the Senate from the Republican Senatorial District of New Hanover i and Bruns wick. It was then and through his influence in the Legislature that the Congressional District in which Wil mington was situated, with an over whelming radical majority, was changed to its present status. Four years ago, when he was not a candi date for a nomination for Congress, he came very near the nomination at the Magnolia Congressional Conven tion, as his friends remember. He has always held to the doctrine, so much in accord with his modest nature, that the offioe should 'seek the man. Since his return hom.e at the close of the war, which he fought through bravely from the beginning to the end al ways in the front where the j bullets flew thickest, and the danger was the greatest he has been mostly in retire ment, refusing to honeyfuggle with republicans, and scorning to use any of the fashionable electioneering appliances for position. His friends now bring him forward and will urge his nomination, at Clinton. But as high as are the merits, claims, and qualifications for Congress of this champion of the peo ple's rights and best interests, there is a higher principle at stake, a more important doctrine than the personal claims and qualifications of Major MoOlammy, or any other man in thtf district. It is that growing belief, that increasing sentiment, that neces sary principle in political affairs, now arousing the people everywhere, that the farmers, mechanics and laborers, must come to the front, and that lawyers and politicians must retire to the rear, in the distribution of Legis latiye and Congressional honors. The politician has ruled the farmer long enough, It is now time for the farm ers to rule the politicians and to take nominating Conventions in their own hands and manage them, instead of allowing them to be managed, as here tofore, by wire-pulling politicians and lawyers. The voice of history, in Europe and America, unites with the facts of legislation in declaring, and in forewarning farmers, and mechanics and laborers, that relief from unjust burdens and ruinous laws, such as now oppress the people and paralyze industrial pursuits, cannot be obtained by a reliance upon others than theri selvtg. L8t the farmers and the -in;-dustnal class take the reins in their ownjhands, and command politicians and lawyers to take back seats, i Numericallyand politically, in peace or war, the farmers are the power in thiHiCongressinal District, and in this 8tate. They are not alone the throne of power, but the power that moves the thronei Let them use it in the selection of representatives ' of their own class, whether for the Legislature or for Congress. Farmers know the wants of farmers and are in sympathy with them. The burdens and wrongs and oppressions which now weigh them down and clog the advancement of agricultural interests can be best removed by farmers as our representa tives. In this Distrct let ns, as farmers, elect one of our own number to Con gress.jThere is no farmer in theDisttrict more worthy and mere competent to represent the people in Congress than Ma j.
