Jfcw Hotel.
Oapt. J. M Bunting and "Judge" L.
F. Merritt are now running the Exchange
Hotel at Goldsboro, N. C. They can ac
commodate one hundred persons in a
royal good style. Their table is supplied
with delicacies from the Charleston, Wil
mington, Goldsboro, JSewbern and Bal
timore markets. The Exchange Hotel is
a model of neatness and is furnished
throughout with new and improved fur
niture. The bedding is clean and com
fortable and is second to none in the
State. Oapt Bunting for a long time
was connected with the Pullman Palace
Car Company and thoroughly under

"Judge" Merritt has served an appren
ticeship of sixteen years in the hotel
business and knows how to run a house.
For a long time he was a clerk in a lead

A Sorrowful Anniversary.
.This is the anniversary of the first battle
of t he Wilderness, fought on the 2d day of
May, 1803, and the skirmish battle tha
w is preliminary to the grand contest at
Chancellorsvide, which t ok place on the
following day, Sunday, the 3d of May. It
was in this great engagement or the plan
for it that the Napoleonic genius of the
great Stonewall was more apparent proba
blythau in any i f his many brilliant and
successful military achievements during
his short ctreer. With a greatly inf rior
1 ree General Jackson maneuvered and out
witted the Federal General Hxkerto such
an extent, with a small portion of his com
m ai id .as ' o make his antagonist believe that
Le's army was in full retreat towards
Richmond, while in very fact Jackson
with most of his corps was making rapid
strides for the rear of Hooker 'a army, which
be succeeded in reaching about o'clock
ou the afternoon of the 2d of May, and at
5.30 o'clock, the great chieftain had s j dis
posed of his command as to move forward
ia three lines of battle to the attack Im
agine ths surpi ise and consternation of the
enemy and the detailed oxks who were
cooking their day's ratio us f r the On to
Richmond Army away in the rear, to re.
eeive an attack in that quarter frcm the
enemy whom their commander had tele
g aphed to Washington at being in full re
treat towards Richmond.
The victory for the Confederates was
overwhelming and darkness atone pre.
Tinted Jackson from annihilating or cap
turing Hooker's en ire army. They con.
quered, bat Boz trris fell, bleeding at every
vein."
It was indeed a victory dearly bought by
the Confederates, for on that eventful
night, sixteen yearn ago, Stonewall Jackson,
in attempting a r eonnoiaance of the ene
my's position received the wounds which
ter j mated his earthly career, and caused
the light of the Confederacy to flicker and
waaa aad finally fau. go .eut in utter darkness.

Military LMills.
We learn that the Wilmington Light
Iufantry and the Whiting Rifles are Uav
it gregu'ar drjils every night, preparatory'
to tha parade on M morial Day. Several
new members have been admitted to the
ranks of each company within the past
few weeks, and it may be expected that
both companies will turn out on that occa
sion with full ranks.
The New Lister us.
Capt. R. S. Radcliffp, the contractor,
began work day before yesterday on the
first of the new fire cisterns to be con
structed by him, wh'ch is located at the
corner of Fifth and Chestnut streets, and
whioh is to hold 600 barrels. The work
is progressing rapid 'y, the sides, which
are ofpress3d brick, being already raised
some two feet above the foundations.
When this is completed Capt. Radcliffe
will go to work on that to be built on the
corner of Third and Mulberry streets,
which ia to be of 400 barrels capacity.
The Mail Robbers
James Davis and Charles Williams, the
two colored individuals who, Davis claims
robbed the U. S. mails while in transit
from one train to another at Charleston,
were taken from jail and carried to-day
before U. 8. Commissioner, McQuigg.
Davis persists in the statement as con
tained in the affidavit we have heretofore
referred to. The defendants were held
in defanlt of bonds of $600, to await the
orders of the Judge at the District Court
to tejheld here next week, when they will
prebably be seat to Cnarle ton for trial
in the district where the offense is alleged
to have occurred. Nobody knows as yet
anything relative to the robbery, which
can hardly be that which was investigated
yesterday, but the defendants will be
accommodated with a full hearing of the
case.
May Day with the colored People
The colored people of this city held a
picnic at Hilton yesterday , at which there
were games of b se-ball, walking matches,
dancing and lots of other kinds of t in of
the most pleasant kind, with no drunken
ness or fignting to mar the festivities of
the occasion, and the sports of the day
terminated as orderly and peaceably as
could be desired. The mabh game of
base-ball was between the 'Red Stockings,'
composed of men, and the Wilmington
Mutual,' composed of boys, and was well
contested, both nines playing with energy
and skill. The game was to have consist
ei of ten innings, for a prize of a new bat
to the winner. At the conclusion of the
ninth inning, however, theRed Stockings'
concluded to yield the prlzs to the 'Mu
tuals,' without playing. The score stood
at the close of the ninth inning, 'Red
Stockings,' 11 ; 'Matuais,' 10. As the
game was left in that condition, both sides
may very appropriately claim the victory.
Many women are loved without know
ing it, and many think they are loved
when they are not; they find eut their
mistake after marriage.
A much greater hurrah is now made
over a man wne waias a 'tnoasana miles
in a thousand hours,' than he who walks
uprightly through threeiscore years and
ten.
'Truth lies in a nut-shell,' and 'brevity
is the soul of wit.' To be brief, when
the shell is broken, the truth will be dis
covered that, the Gracd Central Hotel,
on Broadway, New York, now kept on
both plans, the American $2 50 or $3.00.
and the European $1 00, and upwards,
per day, gives more stisfaction for the
same money than any other first-class
house in Gotham. An elegant Restaurant,
at moderate prices, is conducted by the
