We are grieved to learn,- by a private telegram received in this city this morn- hng, of the death of one of the most ven erable citizens of Fayetteville,. Mr. John llcIUe. He was one of the oldest of North Carolina's sobs, . having been ap pointed postmaster at Fayetteville dur ing President Madison'ssdmInistration, an office which he held for many years lie was the lather of our talented fellow townsman, Lol.

A subscription paper for the purpose is being handed around and if those having the matter in hand can succeed a fine time piece, strik ing the quarter hours, will be .erected which will no deubt prove a great con venience to the business public.

The 100 miles walking match between Miss Jennie Forest and Mr. Will Cum ming, will commence this evening at 6 o'clock. Both are professional walkers add are said to be in excellent trim for the task they are to undertake. The track has been laid in the City Hall and every thing is said to be in readineea for the pedestrians, who are to make 100 miles in eighteen hours. Preparing for Them. In view of the proportions the exodns movement has assumed and anticipating an influx of Chinese cheap labor, Mr. Wilkin Rcddick is lettering the front of Messrs. Brown & Roddick's five and ten coat st re with Chinese characters. We presume it is done with a view of adver tising tbeir goods, but as we do not un- dsrstand the language we may be mis taken, and perhaps onr friend Roddick is going to run a Chinese boarding house and is advertising for boarders. Sympathy tor Ireland. Quite a respectable number of citizens were present in the City Court room last night in response to Mayer Fiahblate's call to take in to consideration the published appeal from the .Lords Mayor of London and Dublin, in behalf of the suffering peo pie of old Ireland. The meeting was organized by calling Mayor Fiahblate to the chair, and request ing Col. B. R. Moore to act as Secre tary. The Mayor npon taking the chair stated the objects of the meeting and an nounced that Col. Duncan K. MacRae was expected to have been present and ad dress themeeting.but was prevented from so doing by slckLess. Speeches were made by F. H. Darby, Eeq.and Mr.Alex.Sprunt,the British Yice Consul at this port. . Rer. Dr. Watson, Mr. T. B. Kingsbury and Col. John MacRae, being called upon, each in turn, made a few remarks. The speakers all announced their sympathies for the dis tress and famine afflicted people in Ire land, and their willingness to contribute towards mitigating the horrors of the famine. Upon motion, a committee of nine was appointed by the Chair to constitute the Irish Relief Committee. The following named gentlemen comprise the Committee: Coli F. W. Kerchner, Captain D. R. Mnrchison, Col. . J. W. Atkinson and Messrs. Alex. Sprunt, A. Adrian, F. H. Darby, A. D. Brown, Li H. Brown and H. Brinhild. The sum of $245 was subscribed at this meeting, the list being headed by the Hibernian Association with $100. The. meeting then upon motion adjourned; I The suffering of the poor "people in Ire land appeals strongly to the sympathy and generosity of our people ; nor should their appeals be made in Tain, or their suffer ings allowed to go unnoticed and unheed. ed, as Is evidenced by the interest which was manifested last nigl)t, we are glad to know, they will not be. A long-Uuflering, heroic and patriotic people, they will ever fill a place in the pages of history that students for centuries to come, who love to read of chivalrous conduct,heroic deeds, lofty bearing and pare and unselfish patri otism, will delight to pertise. .While our sympathies go out to the poor and distress ed in this unhappy 'Isle of the ea,' we haffl no sympathy or patence wuhpoliti-. cal agitators, of the Fame 11 stripe, who. taking advantage oC the necessities and sufferings of this brave and impulsive peo ple, are working np a political scheme for their own selfish ends and personal ag grandizement. When yon are depressed by the gaunt sickly feeling of a disordered system, bich needs to be cleansed and stimnlat ed into hoal thy action, take a dose or two of Ayer's Fills and see howqnick yon cau be resioreq lor a quarter. JLUUU V JL-O V V on J "The Knight of The Plains,1 and Its Author. Tbe Buffdlvj Bill troupe will peiform here next Wednesday nigbt, in a piece entitled The Knight of the Plains,' which was written for the company by Col i'renuss mgrauam, who will be remem bered by many of our citfzms as the dashing young nicer of the Cuban navy who with others, including Commodore Higgius, the Commander of the sloop o war CvJjcl, was taken prisoner here by the U. 55. author ities, when the above -named vessel put in at this port some ten years ago few ccal. The vessel, it will. bev remembered, was taken charge of by U . 2$. offkera aed the expedltfonTjroken up, Col. Ingrahim remained in this city for some time afterwards,. and finally went North. The Col is uow treasurer o Buffalo Bill's Company. - The Spec cue s Last Night: We learn from those who were present that the speech of the occasion in the meeting held at the City Hall last night in sjmpathy for the sufferers iu Ireland, ws made by Mr. T. B. Kingsbury, who we are told delivered a chaste, ornate and effective speech upon the distressed ' Irhh people. It was not our pleasure to te present alter the meeting organized and we are the sufferers therefore in conee quence. Tne eloquent ffjrt of the above uamed gentleman is spoken of in qii'.y handsome terms by .'all those who were fortunate enough to 1 ear it. The speeches of the other gentlemen who addressed the meeting are mentioned also as being apropos to the occasion and full of earnest sympathy and pity for the sufferers in the far away land across the sea. Telepnonic Communication With Smithville and the Sounds. From Mr. D. B. De Forrest we learn that telephonic communication is about to be established between this city and Smithville. There seems to be a great desire on the part of persons living at Smithville and along the proposed route of the line, for telephonic communication with the merchants of this city, who real ize the advantages to accrue from snch a connection. ' It is thought that the plan tations of Dr.J.D. Bellamy, A W, Reiger, Hon. D. L. Russell, 'Orton' and Col. S. L. Fremont's and Mr. C. W. McClam my's turpentine still will be placed on the line of communication. The matter has taken definite shape and a requisition will be made by Manager De Forrest for the linesmen, to erect the wires at an early jdate. We ; learn also that early in the spring a telephone line will be erected between this city and Wrightsville Sound. Masonboro and Mid die Sounds are now in telephonic com munication with this city, and when the two proposed lines are completed Smith" yille, Masonboro, Middle and Wrights ville Sounds will be in speaking dis tance of this city.'

Young, the indefatigab'e and energetic worker in behalf of the Dnplin canal scheme, has now opened a subscription list for this work and yester day succeeded in getting $1,200 sub scribed to the enterprise. This is but the entering wedge, however, and will be fol lowed very soon, we have no doubt, by other subscriptions in sufficient sums to justify commencement of the work in a very short time. Surely our merchants and citizens generally, who have seen their own legitimate trade drift away from them by degrees ti sea port towns in neighboring States, for a lack: in some in stances of a little well directed .energy and enterprise from this place, will not now hesitate to invest a few thousand dollars, when a new field fot business, and wealth, can be developed with such a com paratively small outlay of capital I If Wilmington don't begin to do something for herself what will become of the place? We have all the natura) facilities here for a large business necessary to a sea port town But what i most needed now we think, is energy and capital. Other Southern ciiies are working up new en terprises and reach i g cut tor trade. Shall Wilmington be behind Ithetn all ? We hope not. But it is a question .that the merchants, both wholesale and retail, as well as real esUle owners, win have to solve. Fur our own put, we think it would pay this city as a corporation, to subscribe libera Uy to the enterprise, even IT it has to issue new bonds to raise the fqnds. How would, it do to call a citizens NO caution aot a'low T" issur.iijce meeting to take into consideratph vender importance cf so doing? ButUlDand meantime, let the individual subsc? York, go on liberally, which we earnes will be the case. Now Advertisemer OPERA HOUf ONE NIGHT ONLY SATlMr J 2 Tf.VTTWTVn TAV IT 1.ai JOSEPH js.rri.il e cts. AS RIP VAN WINI oocs,. .
