This attack is so extrav agant and so ill-ad vised that Judge Howard will he sure to regret its pub uoaUeo before many moons have wax ed and waned.

Eiasom's course in the Senate. Judge Howard should remember another fact, also, and that is that while during the recent campaign nobody heard of Mr. Dortch or Judge Howard, at all events eideof their own immediate belli wicks. Senator Ransom canvassed the State from the seacoast to the moun tains, and it is the opinion of many dueeraiag people in the West and in the East alike, that his individual efforts aleas contributed in a very great degree t the success of the Democratic party. The Lenoir Topic boldly asserts this as tree of its district and we know that his efforts in the Cane Fear section were productive of much good. Ws do not understand why Judge Howard, who was at one time, we think, one of Gen. Ransom's warmest op porters, should thus have attacked aim. but we regret exceedingly that it should be so.

It is with great regret that we an nounce to-day the death of Dr. Joshua C. Walker, who departed this life in this city at 9 o'clock this morning. His death had been expected for some time. He had boon sick with the disease known as "fatty degeneration of the heart" for the past four months and of late it has been known that he could not survive. The entire medical fra ternity in the city united their efforts in his behalf but they could only prolong his life, they could not save it. Dr. Walkor was born in Wilmington April 6th, 1833. and was consequently nearly 50 years of age at the time of his death. He graduated at Chapel Hill in the class ot 1864 and graduated in med icine in the University of New York in 1857. Shortly afterwards be married Miss Eliza, second daughter of Richard Bradley. Esq., whom he survived, and removed to Fcrnandina, Fla., where he engaged in the practice of his profess ion. At the outbreak of the Civil War he returned to Wilmington and in 1863 was Assistant Surgeon of the gallant Third North Carolina Infantry. He was afterwards appointed Assistant Surgeon in Charge of the Marine Hos pital here, a position in which be was found at the close of the war. At his decease Dr. Walker was Superinten dent ot Health for the city ot Wil mington and a member, conjoint ly with Drs, Wood and Cur tis, of the Quarantine Board. He was also, a short time since, ap pointed by Gov. Jarvis as a Director of the Insane Asylum at Morganton. The New Hanover County Medical Society will meet this evening to adopt resolutions of regret and sympathy on the occasion of his death and also to make suitable arrangements for at tending the funeral.

Its Prosperity Its Railroads Plenty of Shipping, isut the American Flag: Invisible Spicy Chat From the Banks of Cape Fear River The Newspapers of the City. A special correspondent el the Nor folk Virginian, who has been in Wil migton for a short time, sends to that paper an interesting account of his vis it here after an absence of thirty years. The article is entirely too long for our columns, but we give its most salient points: Wilmington, N. C, December 15. Thirty years ago I paid my last visit to this city, and the change in its ap pearance has been to great for the bet ter, that I am compelled to note it as a single proof of the continued prosperity of the South Years ago, when the Southern bound traveller reached this point he was transferred to a ferryboat, which cross ed the river, and connected with the But all this lives only in the memory of the past. Two of the three railroads that enter Wilmington are under one manage- Uiflll. 1UV JILIIIIIKIAJII, cuiuuuia ti Augusta and the Wilminx Vilmington & Wei- don Roads, are supervised by President lindgers and Superintendenr John F Divine, the latter a practical, go-ahead ' business man, always on the alert, with eyes open looking for advantages that will benefit the company whom he labors ior. The Carolina Central, with its freights of ore, grain and cotton from Western North Carolina, con nects its rails with the roads above mentioned, and all three will in the near future be covered by a grand m. ion de pot. To digress a little, it may here be stated that a reduction works is in full o no rat ion. nrtishitur the rewtra th.n win. tains the precious minerals, and all ofiin aileudAOce, during the week upon which is brought from that nart of Pender SuueriorCourt. which adjourned Carolina already famous for its eral wealth. miQ - Around the depots, or depot as it should be more properly called, the tracks are so numerous as to resemble a gridiron of gigantic size, and the busy whistles of the yard engines are con stantly beard as they travel to and fro in transferring loaded cars, or making up trains, the great majority of which, foing North, .end their journey at 'ortsniouth. To show the amount of business done and the prospect for future prosperity, it can be said that the W. & V. road is building an immense machine shop at a cost of $500,000. They have also erected a roundhouse, and a warehouse, the latter running down to tbe water's edge, and being over 400 leet in length. Another warehouse of the same dimen sions is in coarse of active contempla tion, and as the tracks ran between and on each side ot the houses, at least four trains can be loaded at one time, thus proving the old adage that 'lime is money." The buildings in course of erection are under tbe personal super vision ot Capt. John F. Divine, and the reason that I have dwelled so long on this rather new system of railroadjman agement is, that whale ver benefits Wilmington is sure to benefit Norfolk. When I was; a schoolboy, one of the questions in geography was. "What are the products of North Carolina?" and tho answer quickly came, "Tar, pitch and turpentine.'' But that answer will not answer now; for grain, min erals and cottion . have given the Old North State a boom she .did not have thirty years ago. There are twenty two sailing Vessels of large tonnage in this harbor at present loading for for eign markets with the produce of this State, and I am sorry and ashamed to say that out of that number there is not a single American bottom . The flags of all other nations sport from the mizen peak in the son, but the American nag is nowhere to be r a a 1 seen, except on a iew coasters tne New York line of steamers included; Tbe city ot Wilmington must be a pleasant place to reside during the Win ter, Spring and Antumn. Her streets are wide and linedwith magnificent shade trees. The private residences and grounds attached are exceedingly hanoUane, and flowers bloomed in the open air until the cold snap of a week ago. The citizens generally are blessed with having clean streets, and all on account of the industrious scavengers in their midst, (xoats and geese are al lowed to run at large, and as both are numerous there is very little filth not even a scrap ol paper left on the high ways by dusk ; but lor fear that the ap- j petites of the goats for paper, and the 1 geese for other provender, are not as good as they should be, the authorities imitate in a measure the tactics of the : people of Constantinople. In the latter city the dogs are loosened at night and make clean work of the offal before day break ; and here the law permits the hogs to promenade and take possession of the city after nightfall, In either case the result is the same fastidious gut- j tcrs. and parlor carriage ways. If Christians areto be counted ay the number of churches in a city, the citi- j zoos of Wilmington must be truly j good, for no matter in which direction one may stray sacred edifies can front him. The majority of tho houses of worship are interesting looking struc- ! tares and the riapUst and rrosbytenan Churches would be an ornament to any city. The theatre is in the rear of and at tached to the City Hall building, where the city fathers eaa run oat front their arduous duties ones in a while sad look at the Humpty Dumpty or some other intelligent treat ; and as police headquarters are immediately under the hall, there is no danger but what the performance will be orderly, be cause Captain Brock is always on hand to magnetize offenders. There are eight newspapers published in Wiliningtoo,twoof which are dailies, and take it all in all the city of Wil mington has made a grand march in the line ot improvement, and no more resembles tho Wilmington of thirty years uo, than youth resembles age. Josh Billings says: "ext to a clear conscience Idr solid comfort cums an old shu." He probably never suffered with a cough or cold, otherwise he would have referred to Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup as being also a good thing to secure reliel and comfort. A ASereaveinent. This afternoon a colored man was passing along Water street with his Christmas in a jug when another col ored man accidentally struck the ves sel with an axe-handle and broke it. A third coJocfltl man, who happened to be near, jumped atul-lheN. his hat under the broken jug to catch what he coiiid of the Christmas, but, sad lo relate, his ' hat had a hoic m and colorea man : number four held his hat underneath the other and caught all that had not j alreadv escaped.
