D. Cum. ming which we publish below. It will be seen from . Major Camming's letter, that he lays no claim whate ver to the distinguished honor of having fired the last shot at Appomattax, bat in a spirit f trie manhood, declines to allow a false iapression to go abroad however com flmentary it may be giving to ain and his command tho credit whisk belonged to others. All aoitr to the brave man wno in a ehivalrie spirit which reminds one of other and better days, gives a frank and csrreet statement so far.ashe is concern tdtf the truth of this bit of history. Major Camming was a Gonftderater sol dier from, the first day that Governor Ellis ordered tho troops in this city urn der Col. Jno, L. Cantwell to take pot. session of the Forts at the month of the river.uatil the last bugle note was sound ed in the contest. Major C. , is now of the firm of Cam ming and Bailey, commission merchants in the city of New York. New York, April 5th, 1881. Editob Review: In yonr issue of the 3lst nit 1 note a opmunication signed "Confederate," which unjustly claims for my old battery the distinguished honor of firis? the last shot ia the array of Northern Virginia. Yonr correspondent is mistaken. This honor has never been claimed by myself or any member of the battery as far as I know and I think it an act of justice to correct any such impression. While tho old battery was more than onee named in ! "general orders" and frequently compli mented by Generals Beauregard, Hoke,! Pettigrew and others,nd I feel proud I f its record. I cannot claim " for myself hat is due some . other , gallant com "der. Respectfully, JAS. D.

Moore's language. The Solicitor thinks we did, and deairea us to state, which we do with pleasnre, that ho did not express any opinion, as to the . intent of the defend: ant, butjsimplyj8tated as a matter of law, that the offence with which he was charged not having been completed, the defendant could not be held criminally responsible, and hence there was no ne cessity for a bill of indietmtnt on the presentment. This statement is made in lieu of the communication which we referred to in our issue of yesterday. shot la the Abdomen. On Saturday last abont 5 o'clock, Mathew N. Leary shot David A. Bry ant, about two miles from Fayettville. Both of the parties are colored and Leary is in jail awaiting the result of the wennds inflicted. The altercation which led to tha shooting grew out of a law suit as to the lines of some lands. The case as to the property was to have been heard en Saturday morning but was postpoaed at the instigation of Bryant on account of the absence of snaterial witnesses- Saturday aftemoo Leary was seen walking in . the weodir with a gun on his Bhonlder, and in responso to. an ' iaterregatiea laid he was hautia crows. Sryant was in th wooda aoma little distance off cutting Wood whoa Leary approached and a quarrel ensued. Leary d ischarged ei0 barrel at Bryant when his adversary made at him with the axe. Leary then tarned and fired the second barrel, the contents taki ng effect in Bryant's abdomen. Leary was arrested aad put in jail; The wounded man has received proptr medical atten tion and may recover. The prisoner is quite a noted politi cian in his county and had some Con gressional aspirations. He was, we un derstand, a candidate before the nomi nating convention at Smithville, last June. .

The Fire thU Hernias-The Heed bra General Alarn. ; The alarm of -fire this morning, at 8 'clock, or shortly thereafter, was caused by the burning of a few shingles on the roof of the large dwelling-house ou Mul berry, near the corner of Third street, which is owned by Col. John MacRae, but at present occupied by. Captain S. W. Skinner and family. The origin of the fire is supposed to bare been a spark fronv th'e ehimaeyprbicH lighting on the shinglo roof, oon caused , the inflammable material to ignite. The hose reel of the steam fire eogino : Ldttlt Giant reached the scene of the excitement and this is the nearest approach that any of the firo department made to the spot where the fire was. But we. wish it distinctly un. derstood that, from what we hare since learned, we do not consider it the fault of the fire department, nor do we write in any complaining spirit .of our worthy volunteer firemen, whom we consider equal tojaay in the country, but to correct an evil which exists some where, and which unless public notice is taken of it may continue to exist When the alarm was first given this morning the horses of the Little Giant were at tached to a wagon away from the engine house hauliag something for the city. This eaised the few members of the company who heard the alarm and had assembled at the engine house, together with the boys of Mr. Catlett's school, and aided by a few other citizens, to seize hold of the engine and drag it up as far as the City Hall when' the news came that the fire had been extinguished by a few buckets of water, in the hands of some neighbors who, mounted the reef and with axes and water, did the work effectually. " The ... ojther engines were turned backf. " , .. One good cal33 at complaint which our firemen hate is the aat of a 'jgeaer alakurm, and until this ia arraiged there may be danger of frequent delays on the part of firemen in gettiag to a fire. The market bell in the. belfry of the new market hbuse.the foroua4ing the alarm generally, and situated as the new market is, in the Southern portion of the city, it is not rear enable to suppose that the alarm can be heard in different parts of the city. We hope therefore that our new administra tion of city fathers will proceed at once to remedy this matter, and de so by pro viding for a general alarm to be given at the City HalL This will necessitate building a bell tower, perhaps, but' the sooner it is done tto .better.
