The body of an emigrant who died three months ago, directly on arriv ing in this country, was disinterred on Wednesday at the. request of his brother who knew that he had money concealed on his person : Sure enough $2,091 were foundiu a pocket in his under shirt. . - :- The Associated Press reports lied on Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. Ho did riot say that at Appomattox ho became con vinced that secession was not right, but he did say that he then "recognized that secession was not the remedy for the existing evils." Thero is a world of difference between the two. General John B Gordon, of Georgia, sees a rainbow arching the South from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. ' Bus iness is good, manufacturing establish ments are being biiltf . foundries are making trip hammer marks and the colored people are becoming accustom ed to new habits of industry. Pennsylvania and New York last year produced about 26,000,000 barrels of petroleum. The consumption was about 11,000 barrels a day less than the supply during the year, making a total accumulation of 4,015,000 barrels. January 1 the various pipe and- storage companies had on. hand in all 35,000,000 barrtls. - We congratulate Brother Stallings, of the Clinton Caucasian, upon the very much improved -appearance of that journal. In Its" last issue there are two articles -copied from the Review, at which wo are not a little gratified. We are pleased with his criticisms upon the same, aud will try to furnish him other articles for his instruction and enter tainment. Will Carletou contributes to the cur rent number of Harper's Weekly a poem on John Howard Payne, the author of 'Home. Sweet Home," whose remains are now on their way to this country. Among the interesting engravings in the Weekly are a portrait of the Crown Prince of Germany, illustrations of ice yachting on the Hudson, and of the interment of Archbishop "Hughes; and a series of Canadian character sketches by Dan Beard. The men charged with the murder of tne Lord-Lieutenant oreland in Phoe nix Park are James Carey,. William Mullette, Joseph Mullette, Peter Carey, Patrick Whelan, Brady. Kelly and Karanaugh. So far as wo have seen, there is not one particle of positive evi dence introduced implicating them in themurdera. If they are hung at all on tho present circumstantial evidence it will be as Mrs. Surratt was hung murdered by 4the hands of power to Tln!. ' Gen. Pitzhugh Leo arrived in. New York last Wednesday.

Jersey City by, the committee of the Thirteenth Regiment, and wern escorted to the New, York Hotel, whero' supper was awaiting them. General Leo reviewed the 'I hirleenth Regiment at the armory inBrooklvn. Wo saicV'sacritfce the StateV interest in the C. & Y. V. R. R.,"j and the Greensboro Patriot didn't like say it again '. Read the debate it. in We yes- tcrday's Xews and Observer and see if there isn i a wheel within a wheel there. There was but one voice raised there in opposition to the sacrifice and that was the voice of Tom Purnell, a Republican. Mr. Pemberton said it was the first offer ever made for this road and Mr. Pemberton displayed a wonderful lack of acquaintance with thd facts. Mr. Dorteii did indeed interpdsc a feeble protest a few days since in the shape of an amendment to sell tjhe road by public auction to the highest bidder but yesterday Mr. - Dortch yielded to the pressure , and withdew 1 his amendment. Why? Because he had been assured by the Senator from Guil ford that if it were put u'p at auction it would place the road in another rail road's hactds." That is to say, some body besides Mr. Gray and his associ ates might bid higher; than those gentle men can afford . to bid ; itherefbre, the State's interest must be sacrificed to oblige a few individuals whp want the Legislature to let them have the road at their own valuation,' and in violation of the rights of others to bid on the same property.

FEBRUARY TUe New Southern Humpty, Dnmpty. inis organization is composea en tirely of - young Wiimingtonians, and made its first public appearance at the Opera House in this city last night. There was a large audience' in atten dance to rejoice ui the success or sym pathise with the failure of this hazard ous enterprise, which we are happy to state was more than a success it was a triumph. The young men composing the troupe have, with one exception had no instructive training in their sev eral specialties, but the. performance showed that they all had an inherent talent which fitted them for the parts severally assumed, and a latent 'dra matic ability which only required' an opportunity tashow its brightness. Of the characters we may say that Mr. Robert. A. Hewlett, as Hiiipty Dump ty, was, of course, the most conspicu ous. Ho has had considerable expe rience inthe business, and bids fair to stand at the head ot the profession. Messrs Hall and Burch, in their respeo; tive parts, were equal ' to the occasion and added much, to, the fun of the even ing, while Mr. Murray, j as a contor tionist; performed wonderful feats such as we have seldom witnessed in the arena of a circus when 'attempted by professionals. Mr. Mart. Daniels gave exhibitions of his skill on the harmon ica, which were really excellent, arid an imitation of the xylophone upon an or dinary lead pencil, which was marvel lous. In both of these performances! he was greeted with shouts . of applauset and was called before the curtain twice before the audience would be satisfied The other characters were well sustain ed, the staze management , excellent, everything being made to move prompt ly, thus avoiding all, annoying "waits1 on the.part of the audience. - We must not omit to mention that little Johnny McQuade, only 8 years, of age, acted exceedingly well and added .much to the interest of the entertainment. This organization owes its existence . and present perfection to Mr.R.A. Hewlett, who originated the idea and has been zealous in establishing a first-class company, such as will . be able i to live and prosper I upon its j own intrinsic merits. The music, nnder the direction of Prof. F. Rieman was first-rate,! and the entire performance would . have re flected credit upona professional troupe. They will give a matinee to morrow afternoon, and we learn that they con template taking the road and giving ex hibitions in the principal towns, and cities throughout the State, in which case we bespealc for them the generous patrenage they fairly and ' honestly nierlt,. At Hewlett wil each7 entertainment ? Mr -. give an exhibition of his skill as a tight rope performer, in which he U unrivalled. Tho Lord Mayor of London was only a porter in a warehouse, but he per severed in the taoe of all opposition and rose rapidly. It is only persistency and merit that . has ; made J)r. , Bull's Cough Syrup the greatest family reme dy for coughs and colds now offered to the suffer ng public. . . - ; The Silk-Tights. . 3 f The arrival of the Rentz-Santley bur lesque company (who will gefc here' this evening, is awaited with anxiety by the masculine portion of - creation, and there will be many people jaway from home at "lodze meetine'1 &cL, tonigHtV Some absentees will be gathered togeth er at the Opera House, with the. sole purposes of "seeing the Elephant.".
