Fort Usher Araln.
Our article yesterday relative to the
building and the command of Fort Fish
er seems to have attracted much atten
tion among our readers in the city. A
few.of ov friends seem to think that we
were rather severe on Col. Lamb while
others and by far the larger majority
endorse all that we have said. Let it be
understood . here that we have
not meant, and do not mean,
to cast any aspersions on Colonel
Lamb's character as. a gentleman and a
brave man. We only desire to give pib.
licity to facts. We have proved beyond
a doubt that CoL Lamb is not entitled
to the credit of having built Fort Fisher,
although he undoubtedly added much j
thereto. He must have considered that
he was entitled to this claim or he would
not have made it, but in this he is
assuredly mistaken. The Fort was built
and named before CoL Lamb had ever
entered its portals. This we think that
we have pretty plainly demonstrated. If
he did build the Fort why, then, did he
leave it to CoL Fremont to name? . is a
question not very easy of solution. The
truth is he simply built upon and added
to the very substantial foundation laid
by other men. Nor is Col. Lamb en
titled to the credit of having command
ed the Fort during either or both of the
two fights, as we ourself admitted a few
days ago. He speaks of the Fort which
he "built and commanded" but' it is cer
tain that he did not build it and we fee1
assured now that he did not command it
when under attack Military authori
ties tell us that this was highly improb
able, with the presence there of
if superior officer. . Col. Lamb was
commandant of the Fort but Maj.Gen.
Whiting was commander of the depart
ment and the command naturally de
volved upon him during the fights, as
he was present at both engagements
But more certain than thi3, we areas
suredbya number of those who were pres
ent, some at one fight and some at both,
that Col. Lamb acted on each occasion
simply as Gen. Whiting's subordinate
Among these is Major James Re illy,
next in rank to Col. Lamb, who com
manded the land front on both occasions,
and Maj. Rsilly assures us that every
order he received during the two en
gagements came direct from General
Whiting, and not one from, or through,
Cel. Lamb. This, we think, is a bit of
testimony that is absolutely incontro
vertible, and that should set the
matter at rest. It was Major
James Reilly on whom the fall
command devolved when Whiting and
Lamb had both been wounded, who gath
ered together and reformed the remnants
of the garrison when they were forced
oat of the fort, retreating with them in
good order to Battery Buchanan, and
who finally was compelled to surrender
to the overwhelming forces of the enemy.
There is one part of the defences, how
ever, which Col. Lamb did build and
that is the battery known as the Mound,
a huge pile of sand forming an artificial
hill,which still remains and on which sev
eral guns were mounted, which guns, we
understand, did effectual seivice and were
not dismounted by the enemy during the
fight. ' -; - -

The Good Samaritans.
The parade of the Good Samaritans
through the stiieets yesterday attracted
considerable attention. The procession
was a -very large one and is said to be in
dicative of the strength of tho order in
this State. Geo. L. Mabson, who is a
Past Officer in the order, delivered an
address in the Opera House after the
procession which is spoken of very highly.
There are quite a number of prominent
colored . men among the excursionists.
Some of the excursionists left for their
homes this morning but thefe are a great
many of them yet in the city. The
Grand Lodge is still in session at tne
City Hall and will probably finish its
work to-morrow. The delegates and ex
cursionists seemed to be of the better
class of the colored citizens from the
towns from which they hail and have
condueted themselves with becoming
propriety.
Mr. Vennor's Second Guess at July.
Mr. Henry G. Yennor, in a letter to a
newspaper in Ottowa, Canada, of the
23d instant, says: "I believe that the
present summer is one in a triad of simi
lar summers, probably the midde one.
It is likely to resemble that of I860, and
to differ in some of it3 minor details.
The approaching month of July will
give a great deal of rain, a3 in IbeO,
over large portion of the United State3
and Canada, while in Great Britain the
weather will in all probability be likewise
stormy and wet. The storms of wind,
thunder and lightning are likely to, be
severe and frequent. The heaviest rains
for New York and vicinity would locate
after the 20th, and probably on the 2 let
or 22d da.ie.st; bet wee u the 10 th and 15th
days aa exceedingly hotterm is likely
to be experienced in both the United
States and Canada. Within a few days
from the close of the month, probably
about the 27th or 23th, a cool wave will
occur, carrying frosts in Canada and cool
weather generally, with storm3 of wind
and rain throughout the United States.
Where storms have been severely felt in
the Western and Southwestern States
luring June, there also "will the severe
storm3 of July be experienced. Notwith
standing these frequent and severe storms
during the month, frequent alternations
of fined hot weather will counteract to a
great extent the damage done to crops
in general in the We3t. The entrance
of July in Canada, and abo to a consider
able extent in the United State3, will be
cool and showery, and the pzesseat look
out for the Fourth i3 not a very promis'
ing one."

held at the Rooms Produce Exchange
at 11 o'clock this morning, Mr. B.

L. DeRosset acting as secretary. The'
committee, consisting of Me?srs. Alex.
Sprunt, T. E. Bond and Col. W. L. De
Rosset, appointrd at the,4 meeting. on
Tuesday last, made their report, which
was adopted by sections and then as a
wholcT ' ; "' ." : - ;:
, The report, was an exhaustive and very
comprehensive one and one which fully
covered the grounds inv the' matter in
whieh all are so much interested. The
Rev. Mr. Charbonnel made quite a
lengthy and interesting talk on the .sub
ject of immigration and showed plainly '
the feasibility of the plans as suggested
by the committee.
A permanent organization was 'partly
effected under the name of the "Immi
grant's Friends' Society."
Mcssr3. Alexander Spruat, T. E. Bond
and Col. W. L. DeRosset were appoint
ed a committee on organization and they
are to meet to-morrow at the Produce
Exchange to draw up a set of bylaws,
etc., and transact such other business as
comes under the line of their duty as a

We are glad to know that most of our
business men are deeply interested in tho
movement and express themselves as de
termined to push tho matter , until the
desired result is attained.
