The widow and children of the late PresidentBarnos.of Guatemala, will sail lor San Francisco this week, and then probably a complete- account will be obtained of the ambitious General's fall.

Railroad Meeting-. An adjourned meeting of tha citizens ot Wilmington was held at the rooms oi the Produce Exchange at half pa?t II o'elock this forenoon, with Col. W. L DeRosset In the chair and Mr. G. H. Smith as secretary. The object of the meetin was to hear the report ol tho committee ap pointed to confer with the representa tives of tho Capo Fear or Ydkin Val ley Railroad, to see if some proposition mpre favorable to Wilmington and its interests would not be received by the syndicate. The committee, through their Chairman, Mr. C. H Robinson reported that they had held a long con ference with the gentlemen representing the syndicate at which quite a number of propositions were cons'dered and re jetted. The syndicate were not em p.ered to make any proposition other than made at Thursday's meeting, nor were they authorized to accept of any substitute for that offer. There was an exhaustive interchange of opinion be tween the committee and the gentlemen representing the syndicate, the result of which enabled the former to submit the following report : That a proposition to give $250,000 in bonds of the city in exchange for $150. 000 first mortgage bonds and $100 000 in second mortgage bonds and $100,000 in the stock of the road might be favor ably considered by the syndicate. When the report of the committee had been read there was a long discus sion in which many of those present participated, some ia advocacy of its adoption and others earnestly opposed to its favorable consideration. Mr. DuBrutz Cutlar was entirely op posed to any such a scheme and thought that it the city should do anything it should subscribe a certain sum as a donation, and in this view several o' those present agreed. Others thought that, whiie the City should do something to bring the road here we were not in a financial condi tion to pledge Wilmington's credit to so large an amount, and quite a number of those present were of opinion that $100,000, or at farthest $150,000, would be as far as the tax payers of the city would consent to go. Several propositions were offered as substitutes for the report, but they were voted down. Several amendments were offered, but were also voted down. The proceedings were participated in in by Messrs, C. H. Robinson, DuBrutz Cutlar, Roger Moore, J. II. Currie, B. G. Worth, Wm. Oalder, R. E. Calder and several others. Of course it was fully understood that the committee entailed no binding obligation upon either the city or the syndicate. It amouutcd simply to a proposition which cither might ac cept or reject as in the judgment of either its terms should demand. The report of the committee was not adopted when Mr. Wm. Calder offered the following substitute, which was adopted : Resolved, That it is tho sense ol this meeting that in no event should the commissioners that may be appointed by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and the Board of Audit and Finance to confer with the Directors ot the Railroad, agree that the city shall do more than subscribe Ur$100.000 in first mortgage bonds of the Railroad, payable in $ 100.000 of city bonds. On motion, the same committee were instructed to notify the syndicate of the action of the meeting. Adjourned. Cotton. The receipts of cotton at this port lor the week ending with to-day foot up 56 bales, as against SO bales for the cor responding week last year, a decrease this week of 21 bales. The receipts of the crop year to date foot up 93,567 bales, as against 91.431 bales to same date last year, an increase this year of 2,136 bales. Fire at Whiteville.

We find it in Mr. Walter II. Page's letter from New York to his paper, the Raleigh Chronicle t Col. D. K. McRae, of Wilmingi. n, is here on business lor a client in an itn portant case witty and cheerful and brisk as if be were forty years young d than he i-. You have, ot course, hear of Miss Virginia McRae (his daughter's) success in her brave business under taking here. She has a tvpe-writina establishment, where a prodigious ' quantity ot copying is done and where persons are taught the use of the writing maeumcs. one 13 earning a larger in come this very year than 190ths ol the lawyers in North Carolina, and she is devoted to her work rather, she is properly very proud ot her indepen dence. Some time ago Miss McRae conceiv ed the idea of operating two or more type-writers at once. She carried her conception into praciice by having two type-writers connected by electricity, so that amo$erator on one worked both, or all three.'or four, or a dozen, if need be. Il now machines could be so connected across the room they eonld be connect ed at a distance from here to Raleikh for example. This would make tele graphy easy and dispense with the, ne cessity of having to copy messages when they are received While Miss McRe was discussing the possibility of this reform in tele graphy, a man came to see her who was at work on some improvement along the same line. She talked Irteiy to him of her own ideas. The next thing she heard was that the fellow had taken her idea and made, experiments and patented it and organized a syndi cate to introduce the improvement into eeneral use. Thus, as I hear the story, the work of Miss McRae's brains and the results ot her industry and experi ence are likely to reward not her but the man who took her idea and secured a patent on it.
