T he Battle bl New Orleans
I To-day: (January 8th) is the anniver
sary of the battle of New Orleans, which
occurred this day s:xty five years ago,
JanuarjrStb, 1815, and was the last bat
tle between this country and Great
Britain. The battle was fonght, indeed,
ter the ratification of the treaty of peace
between the two countries, but, in those
days, when there were no rapid means of
conveying information, the news bad
not reached this country and the two op
posing forces, the British under Sir
Edward Packenham, and the American
under General Andrew Jackson, fought
in entire ignorance of the uselessness of
further bloodshed. The result was fear
fully disastrous to the British forces.
I 1 he Condemned Man.
j With to-morrow's sun will dawn the
last day on earth for Allan Matbis, the
condemned murderer who. now awaits the
execution of the law. As has been so of
ten stated the execution will be strictly
private so that people may as well stay
at home and not besiege the jail as -they
will not be ab!e to see anything at all of
the execution.
The wretched man has been prepared
for . his doom. He has made a full con
fession of tbe deed.' This, confession was
made to bis spiritual advisor, Rev. Q. O.
Brady, of St. Mark's Episcopal church,
and at his express desire will not be pub
lished until after his death. It will be
found in the report ' of the execution as
published in the Review to-morrow after
noon. For Cqmputlng Interest.

interest is going the rounds, 'and may
bf found a convenient method. Four

Edward Connor, colored, was arraigned
fjr assault and battery inthat he threw a
rock at Mills Donaldson, another colored
boy. The Mayor fined the defendant $1.
; Mills Donaldson, who was 'a principal
witness in the foregoing case, was next
arraigned and convicted of the , same
charge preferred against the above named
defendant, this last named defendant
being convicted on his own testimony.
The Mayor pronounced tbe same judg
ment as in the previous case, viz: $1
fine, which was paid in each case, and tbe
little culprits allowed to depart.
A colored woman, arraigned for. being
drunk and disorderly, . was released, in
consideration of its being the first offence.
A long, awkward, gawkey, idiotic sjrt
of youth was the next case on the docket.
The charge, preferred was disorderly con
duct. The Mayor issued a sharp repri
mand and then ordered his discharge.
Jack Smith, colored, charged with the
larceny of a whiskey still, was the last
case on the docket, but the case was con
tinued until 3 o'clock this afternoon owing
to the fact that the defendant was then
in tbe custody of another officer tq be
tiled before a magistrate.

4 Vital Statistics of Wilmington.".
i - :
.' We published in yesterday's Review f r
toe purpose ui correcting an eir j.aeous
impre8irjr which had goue abroad from
this city by the iucorrect published atate.
menJfcof a J,party"(who did not . ,et t in
official, report in his statement), the total
"number of deaths wit hin "the city of Wil
mington for the year 1879, according' re
the official yearly report of Dr. J. C.
Walker, the Superintendent of Health for
tbe City f Wilmington and county of
New Hanover. This number we stated to
hi ZV1 and some possible eight or ten
paupers whkh were not included in the
yearly report. We then added eiht to
the total number given above, .which
swelled the amount to 370 and made tie
death rate not quite 22 per thousand
of. the population, according to
tbe Meares census of 17,000 souls
The difference between tee 6tatemeut pub
lished in the Review and the erroneous
publication referred to above is 125 deaths
or a little over 33 percent, of the total
mortality. These figures, we are assur
ed by the highest authority upon the sub
ject, is the correct statement of the mor
tality occurring in this ci y during the
year 1879, with the single exception, Jthat
the death of the lamented Dr. King, "Who
had changed his residence to New York
and died ,in that city, was inc'uded in
the deaths which occurred ia Wn:aingC6n
when in fact tbe remains, vrcro brought
0
here for interment. - -
Now, to prove that'the Superintendent
of Health's report is the only accurate
record from which ; to compile an article
or statement of the kind, we will simply
remark that of the 105 orders given
by Col; Jno. D. Taylor, Clerk
to the' Auditing Committee of
tbe Board of County Commission rs,
t
for coffins, a majority, or a large proipr.
tion,ot the deaths which we find recorded.
in Col. Tay lor's books have ' already
been reported once to the Superintendent
of Health by the physician in attendance
when he makes his regular monthly re
port to that official, consequently, it is not
necessary to go to the Clerk of the Coun
ty Auditing Committee, at all, for any in
formation upon' the subject. For no
body can be buried without a certificate
from some physician as to. the cause of1
the decease. And then again we are cred-
bly informed that many, of those bqdies
which were furnished caffins by the coun
ty were not interred in the pauper7 bury
ing ground, but were buried in Pine
Forest and perhaps other cemeteries, so
that,' if we take Col. Taylor's 1 list ocof
fins furnished by the county as the re
cord for the number of interments in the
Pauper's lot, as we believe the compiler of
the incorrect published statement
already referred to has done, we run the
risk oi counting the same intermeat twice
when the number of interments in Pine
Forest and other cemeteries is taken from
the books of the secretaries of those Com
panies. Let us be more explicit. Suppose
10 of the 105 paupers who were huf ied in
coffins furnished by the county were in
terred in Pine Forest Cemetery. Did not
the compiler of this incorrect statement
published last Friday and Saturday in this
city, count the same ten twice? Clearly he
did. But is the Secretary who furnishes
the number of interments in bis
company's lots responsible for
the error made by the com
piler of this incorrect report of the num
ber of deaths in this city, published by the
Star last Friday and again alluded to in
an editorial in the same paper of last
Saturday's date? By no means. And
because, in the interest of our
community, we correct the erroneous
published statement and quote the
only official authority there is upon
this subject to substantiate cur repor t
does it necessarily imply that we think
the Secretaries of the different companies'
and Col. Taylor are incompetent per sons
for the duties that have been assigned
them and which they are engaged in per'
forming? We tbink not. We do not 'in
timate' any doubt as to the 'reliability' of
the -&&zr' published report. But we do
plainly and most emphatically assert that
it is in incorrect, and we assert further
that the same interments were counted
twice, in some instances, in that report.
Now whose incompetency was that?
Bat one word more. In the above es
timates we have not deducted , the inter
ments of persons who came to their deaths
by violence, which will amouut to quite
a. respectable Lumber and which should
by no means bev charged . against the
health of the city. Deduct these, as
shou!d properly be dons, and we do hot
brieve' that the mortality will reach
more than 20 to tbe thnusaud, instead of
p23, which is-very nearly ZZl per ceLt
less than published in the. btar.
