Moore will read the regukr monthly paper before tbe Historical & Scientific Association lbs evening and something good is reasonably looked for. Pneumonia invariably begins with a cold -to which scarcely arybody attaches any importance, and the cold is neglected until it results in the painful and always alarming disease. Instead of excluding the sunlight from our houses, says th3 Manufacturer and Builder, lest it fade the carpets and draw flies, and bring freckles, we should open every door and window and bid it enter. There has been considerable interest manifested in tbe services at the First Baptist Church the past week, five persons having connected themselves with the church during that time, two of whom received the ordinance of baptism last night. The Twins. A pair of colored twin brothers, by the name of Baker, living in this city, occa sional! v act on a fclisht tare, but - c -J they take it one at a time, or in other words, they alternate the spree. Satur day night it was Isaac Baker's time and he ripped and snorted -to such an extent that the police had to take a turn with him by escorting him to the guard house. This morning the Mayor told him he could pay $5 or alternate in tbe guard house for ten days. Premium Wine We can confidently recommend Speer's Port Grape Wine, which was awarded the highest premium at the World's Fair, as a superior article of wine for the sick and debilitated, and all those who require vinous stimulation and invigoration. Tbe Vineyards are at Passaic, New Jersey, near New York City. Messrs. J. C. Munds, P. L. Bridgers Co. and Green & Flanner sell the Wine. A young lady who was rebuked by her mother for kissing her intended, justified the act by quoting the passage: "What soever ye would that men should do unto you, do yo even so to them." Daily WILMINGTON, N. Cv Thero are just ono hundred streets in Wilmington, the majority cf which are from one to two and i half miles in length. We have no means of determining the total of miles of streets in the city, bnt imagine it cannot be much leas than two hundred all told. Excolor. We thank Messrs. T. B. Henderson A Co., of North Front street, for a pound package of "Excolor" smoking tobacco. manufactured by A. Harvey, at Kinston X. C We have tried it and consider it very gcod. Mr. Henderson informs us that he can sell this tobaoco at a consid erably lower price than is charged for tbe brands manufactured at Durham. A nother Petition: There was a counter petition in circula tion among the merchants and busmen men of this city, this morning, to pray the Board of Aldermen, at their meeting 'his evening, not to consent to the remo val of tbe maiket house, at present loca ted on Market street. The matter will be discussed, both pro and con, at the meet ing to-night. Suffering at Sea. The schooner John Middleton, which arrived at this port on Saturday evening last, had very severe weather daring her passage here and the entire crew suffered greatly from the cold. Two of them were very badly frost bitten, one of whom died while, the vessel was coming np the river. The other, having received medical atten dance, will probably recover. Tribute to Re?. Dr. vYingate. We learn that the Rev. J. B. Taylor, the worthy Pastor of the First Baptist Church, in this eity, referred in a moat feeling and eloquent manner in his sermon yesterday (Sunday) morn log, to the memory of the Rev. Dr. Wingate, late President ef Wake Forest College, in this State. It was lis tened to with tearful interest by tbe Urge congregation assembled, who considered h a jujt tribute to the departed worth of one who had labored long and faithfully In The Master's vineyard.

Review. MONDAY, MARCH The Battle or A verasboro. In the Southern Historical Society Pupert for March we find a short but in teresting correction, or rather, adden dum, to Gen. Taliaferro's report of the batt.e of A verasboro, in this State, in which justice is doae to the only North Carolina infantry engaged in that fight, a battalion under the command ef Oapt. A. Li. DeRoeset, of this city, which had been assigned to Geo. Stephen Elliott's brigade a day or two previous to the en gagement. Maj. Graham Daves writes tbe article. He says of the part which thi North Carolina troops took in the fiht: e On the morning of tbe lGth of March. at A verasboro', the battalion was moved to the left of Bhett's brigade, which held the left of our line. Daring the fighting ot that morning, as described by Gener al Taliferro, Captain DeRoeset, finding his men slowly pressed back, asked Colonel W. B. Butler, commanding Rhett's bri gade, for orders, explaining that General Jbluott was too far away, on the extreme right, to report to in ths smergeney. Col onel Butler replied: "I have no orders te give you;" his answer being evidently prompted by a not unnatural reluctance to give orders to troops under fire not a part of his command and not ordered to report to him. In the handling of his own brigade Colonel Butler evinced great skill and exeeMent judgment, and his praises were in very mouth. Turning then to an officer commanding a Georgia battalion on his right nrobablv the Twenty-third Captain De&osset advised that the two commands charge and retake the position from which they had been forced. This was determined upon, but in the act of giving orders for the forma tion for tbe movement, Captain DeRosset tell, almost at Colonel Butler's feet , shot through the lungs, as was supposed, mortally wounded. Even in that situa tion he rallied a few men. who had broken, before being carried to the rear. When the army moved on towards Beatonsville, Captain DeRosset, with tbe other dangerously wounded, was left and fell into the hands of the enemy. Thev finding it impossible to remove him, first relieved him of ail his superfluous person alty, and then paroled him. Kind friends came to him from Kaleish. oaasinr thsough the lines of both .armies under Beauregard tyth writer; snd.coutrsry to all expectation, their gentle nursing ef fected his recovery. 4 County Commissioners.
