S And SMIL Ahother. The base ball fever seems to be progress sing, with no abatement iothe intensity of the disease. Below we giv the names of a new club just formed under the Damej and style of "The Wilmington Stand-By Base Ball Ulub." The following are1 the members: George Harriss, J. M. Grant, Harry Mcllhenny, Walter Ri j Kingsbury, John Hartsfield, Richard Kelley,. Jesse Shelly, James Meares, and James Hall. The club meet to-night at the Messrs. iMc Koys office, on Market street, at 8 o'ciock for the purpose of electing officers. You can get the best White Lead, Paints and Qils, aud lowest prices at Jacobi's Hardware Depot. t Pedestrian Match. There have been several attempts made by enterprising colored men in this city to get up a grand pedestrian 1 match, but so far all efforts have proved to be fruitless. A match ia announced to take place on Monday evening next; the prizes offered are to be two large cakes. The prpjeckrs seem to be far-seeing men and the pedestrian match will no doubt be a success, because f anjr tbjnjjf I will make' aMcullud brudder' walk it rs 'deprovia- nns. lllShest PriiePort Wine.

D (and everybody knows who that is) j writes a very interesting letter from this city to the Ra'.eigh Observer, which we find in Tuesday's issue of that paper. We copy it entire a it id al good reading" matter. G. D. say: The cotton business of Wilmington for the crop v ear ending to-day, compared with that -of either of the two years last preceding. nhow a f illing off jin the items both 'of receipts and of domestic exports. In the 'quantity exported to foreign coun tries, on ihrt other baa, there has leea a large increase, and in this direction there has been a steady gain for many years past, as may be learned frcm a compara tive statement elwhere. 1 Compared with the crop year 1875 '76 . the cotton business of the port has increased in every de partment, and the sae is true of a comparison with any year previous there to, j No attempt will be made to account for the d.--creas3 as compared with the last two years but it may be attributed partly to the fact that the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, formerly tributary to Wilmington, and frerrj which much cotton came here for shipment, has within the time mentioned passed u der the con rol of a corporation whose interests are thought not to be subserved by allow lng produce to leave its line: for this city. Ihe following statement gives the movemeot of cotton at this port for the three years named: ' i i COTTON 6TATISTIC S FOR THE CROP TEARS j ENDED AUGUST 31ST, 1877, 1878,1 AND 1879. I 1R7'77 1877-78 1878-'79 StocV Ba es Receipts for year, 113,41 123.373 108,518 Exports-Domestic, 76,685 66,961 44,061 " Foreign, 36,480 66 67T 64,431 Total Exports, 113,165 123,638 108,492 The lowest price at which sales were made during the year was 8 cents, the highest 12 cents per pound. The table below shows the regular in crease from year t year in jthe quantity of cotton exported for the past five years, from Wilmington to foreign 'ports: Crop Years. 1874- 75.... 1875- '7fi . .. 187677 .. 1877-'78 .. No. of bales exported. 12,205 J, .....27,275 - J. ..36 480 56.677 1878-79. 64.431 That September 1 is the proper date upon which to begin the cotton crop year is abundantly evidenced by the fact tbt as yet only six bales of the new crop hae been received here, while the entire re ceipts for the month of August jfoot up only 108 bales. The receipts for Septem ber will be about 10,000 bales. No American craft were engaged in the foreign cotton trade of the po t during the'vear just closed. It was carried on in foreign bottoms entirely, j In all fifty;five (55) vessels, loaded in whole or in part with cotton, cleared forj points abroad during the year. Their tonnage amounted to 19 030 tons, and the nationalities were as follows: British, 16; German, 16; Norweigan. 21; Spanish, 1; Swedish, 1. Barques of an average capacity of 350 tons are the kind of craft principally em ployed; these bearing a ratio of about four to one to all other vessels in the trade The largest cargo of cotton taken out during the season was by the German barque SSirene, which was cleared on the 17th of February, for Cork, for orders, with 2,250 bales. Alt the vessels enumerated, however, did not load ev clusively with cottoni The British barque North Carolina of 570 tons, cleared on February 10th for Liverpool with the following assorted cargo: Cotton. 411 bales; spirits turpentine, 900 barrels; j-osin, 686 barrels; staves, 00,00; lumber, 2,000 feet; timber 16 pieces. This fine vessel has probably bad her career cut thort. Not long ago she came into the river from Bermuda, or the West Indies, and was placed in quarantine; for fear of yellow ferer. Putting to sea again, she was driven ashore in the fearful storm of August 18tb, so destructive on this coast, near Life Saving Station No. 4, and when last heard from lay embedded in the sand to a depth of about seven feet. The largest vessel that left the port for foreign parts during the year was the Brtish barque George Davis, of 643 tons burthen, (named in honor of our distin guished townsman), which was clearned on the j 13th of January for Liverpool with a cargo of 1,010 bales of cotton, 2,490 barrels of rosin,. 550 barrels of spirits turpentine, 13,223 staves and 5,186 feet of lumber. j The cotton received at this place is brought mainly by the several lines of railway centering here, the proportion coming in that way being about four fifths the business of the whole receipts. We have no wagoa trade, wh ch ia so important a feature of Raleigh, and . Char lotte. Ad cotton comes by rail or rivet and goes directly to the compress. vS into warehouse, ii Last year Raleigh sent us much cotton for foreign shipment, and it is hoped the quantity will be increased the coming year, i , A LETTER FROM GEN. LEE.1 I Anything from Gen. Lee's pen will always be read with interest by North Carolinians. Especially so, when what is written is commendatory of the bravery of oar friends and acquaintances, ai ia the case with tho following letter, which is sent that the gallant' action therein men tioned may be made known and the record preserved: j Headquarters Army pT. Va 11th May, 1864., J Eon. Secretary of War, Richmond Va: Sir: Yesterday evening the enemy penetrated a part of our line and planted his co'ors upon the temporary breastworks erected (by our troops He was immedi ately repulsed, and among the brave men who met him, the 20th North Carolina Regiment, Col Tnomas F Toon, of the brigade commanded by Brigadier-General K L Jonnston, captured his flag It was brought to me by Major John 8 Brookes, who received his promotion for gallantry n tne battle of Unancellorsville, with the equest that it be given to Gov Vance. I ake great pleasure in complying j with he wish of the gallant captors, and re Spectfully ask that it be granted, and that the colors be presented to the State : of iNorth Carolina as another evidence i of their valor and devotion that have made her name eminent in the armies of the Confederacy.1 j Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, R. E. Lee, Gen'l. Major John S Brookes, who presented the captured flag to Gen Lee. himself wrested it from the color-bearer, the latter surrendering it only after a bar f struggle. M&. Brookes was a native o our neighboring county of Brunswick, and was at one time captain of a company of infantry "E, ' of the 20th Regiment recruited iu that county. The word "was" is, alas 1 not incorrectly used in speaking of the brave fellow, for but a day or two after he captured the flag, he was killed in action near Spottsylvania Court House. j G. D. Some of Our people seem doomed to misfortune. Last evening, at Wrights ville Sound, a gangway fell through and four of the unfortunates who were at the Atlantic Hotel in Beaufort during the storm were precipitated into the water, getting a thorough ducking. l- Arrcsted and Locked Up. Mike Peden, colored, the notorious lit- tie rascal who has figured so conspicuous, ly and so frequently at the Mayor's Court for the past two or three years, charged wLh disorderly conduct, theft and num erous other petty crimes too numerous to mention, was arrested and locked up this morning for invading the premises of Mr. Sol. Bear, jerking the door bell and be having otherwise disorderly. He will be interviewed by the Mayor; in the morn ing. : Some Statistics.

We have heardaeveral names mention., ed In connection with the, proposed fund to be raised in this city by the ex-Gonfedi erates in behalf of the orphan children : of the lamented General Hood. But as yet no one has been determined upon to take charge of the proposed j contributions We therefore take the liberty of suggest ing a name which we feel assured frc m the well-known and deserved popularity of the gentleman in question, will meet with universal approval amoog the friends of the move! If Colonel Roger Moore would consent to take charge of this mat ter, we believe that he could create more enthusiasm and secure a larger donation from the old ex-Confederates than almost any one else in our midst. Col. Moore is himself a gallant soldier of the late war and was the commanding officer of the 3d N. C. Cavalry in Northern Virginia and again in Eastern Carolina and can there fore bring to the undertaking, apt only the necessary qualifications ot energy and zeal, but the sympathy which all who Ecrvefander the lost stars and bars most feel for the poor uniortojiate orphans ef the dead hero. J " . i Important to the Afflicted. We would advise; all who may need the advice of a physician,- to either call or write to Dr. K joertson 19. So.
