WILMINGTON, N. C, JMAY 12, 186-1.
Ykte;jdat the town wajvery full of rumors, lead
iu n: to uTi'jva that the reliable gentleman, in prop'ia'
persona, hai m;tde h;3 ndrent ia our middt and elte
wLtre aroucd cur burg, not forgettirg the edjiccct
ccuatry.
Moai of these rumors wers of a depressing character
and z state of feverish excitement prevailed through
out I lie day.
Oi 'he many rumors, none teemed to have any surer
foundation thau the faci; that the Yankees had ma ia a
raid on the railroads north cf Richmond, and that a
pi.riioa of their cavalry had ccma inconveniently near
to ii.it city iideif. All of this newa was euffieiently bad,
but tot ca'culatcd to give riaj to the alarming storie3
that it did give rite to.
The routt; to I'etersbnrg hss been clear of the enemy
for the last two or tLree dajs, ucd communication wil
be re-i 3'.ab:ished as soon as possible. A strong force
is ut wjik. en the road. The itijary on the Northern
half of tie Wcldon and Petersburg road !3 very coa
eidtrabl., including some two bridges, three depots, and
83Vtral miles of track torn tip. Some ten miles of the
teltgraph liaa was also destroyed. That ought to be
soon i-.'phccd.
At the vc-ry Iategt date that wc can Lear of, cur peo
ple held the Richmond fctd Petersburg Railrond.
Vuehcr the read has been mucn or little damaged, or,
indeed, whether it has been damaged at all we do not
know. We tbitk, from what vve know, that matters
ouht to be Ba'o- on the Southside. We cannot con
e ive the idea of datger to a town as strongly fortified
03 Richuion !, from any mere cavalry raid like that on
the North.
Reprtd were even fctloat yesterday that Gen'l Lee
had Lecn outflanked ; that two columns of the enemy
wire nmrchicg direct on Richmond, and we know not
what el e. Aa thi3 did not come over the wire?, it can
only be attributed to the " reliable gentleman."
Bu. in truth, the suspense under which this, ia com- I
men wilh other communities, ia laboring 43 very paia
ful und harassing, and in each a state cf thing3 the
least hint i3 caught at, ref eated and magnified. For
curseiv3 we confess that it is with difficulty that we
can tit down quietly to discharge even car simplect
et'r.orial duties ; to write at length i3 out of the ques
tion. We trust that a few c'ajs will put an end to the pub
He su.-:pende, and that we will once more be able to -see
the bow of promise reflected from the departing clouds.
A;iotl.r Fire In YVaMUtngto-ri, N. C.
We le3ru that a private despatch received here jester
day brings news of the occurrence of arother destruc
tive fire in Wai-hiogton, NT. C, destroying a considera
ble pjriioa cf the town saved irora the fire started by
the Yankees before leaving. We have learned no
particulars, bat lean to the opinion that thid fire is
chargeable to some euemies still lurking ia thai unfor
tunate town.
A MMle Plain Taltitnlj.
A eottinporary, the Fayetteviile Obsavir, we think,
has very propr!y replied to the charge brought by some
North (Juioiiua soldiers against the North Carolina
papers that th-y do not give full accounts of the differ
ent actions ia which North Carolina troops m:y be
ec:gigrd. by retorting the accusation. North Carolina
BoldicM atid ofS.ers ore themselves to b!aine. 'i'hey
peldom or never think it worth while to write to the
papers in their own titate. When they do write at all,
.they are much more opt to write to Virginia papers.
How can they expect North Carolina editors to pnb
lish what is no: sent to them ? Can they know things
by itit'ritiou ? Can they tilord special correspondents
with every corps in the field ? Not much, we think.
We were reminded of this one day during the pre
sent week, when an ardent friend of the Navy (not
stronger than wo are) wondered why we did not give a
flaming ar.d circumstantial account of the cruise of the
RaWg'c, and roundly taxed us with prejudice against
the Navy.
Now, would it b2 believed that the only communica
tion we received abGut the cruise of the. Raleigh from
New Inlet wa"5 from Fort Fisher frcm an cScer of
the army. We gave all we could get. .We tried to
find cut and did find out the main facte. We cannot
know particulars byyatuition, and we lack the poetic
faculty for the invention of details. Possibly, in
deed probably, some person who vs as oa board the
Raleigh may hereafter write, or may perhaps have al
ready written an account to some paper at a distance
ind in another State. Will we be to blame for that ?
By the way, we learn that the difficulty with the
Raleigh consisted in her rmlder?-chains having got foul
ot the propeller going out. This, although repaired or
fixed, still interfered with her steering. Otherwise the
ship behaved very handsomely.

A ETOF.T OF ELIGUTED HEARTS AND BROKEN IIEAD3.
Iirick.a," a writer in the AUenfa Register, furnish-
eo the following pleasant light reading, which will be
found highly diverting :
boon atttr a big hght in wfc;cn 1 wai engeged, I
bought an unexpired furlcngh of a friend of mine, who
had no further ute for it, and went d wn to Savannah
to Epend ii, asd to see a ycung lady to whom I had an
idi-a of niaking love, having been told that she v-ai ar.
rich as a Confederate speculator. In fact, I went with
the fixed determination to mirry her, but ditHnod to
do so, for the Eeeuorgly frivolous reason that tb? ar-rf-.i:g.ment
did not meet the cppiobation of the hdy
and Ltr friends. Her brother, a colonel in the army,
at home on furlough, seemed, pariiaiUrly, a lilile dis
posed to deprecate the msich, aud vas;ucly hnt-; d c.e
much the Reecnd time I called, by eseoti; g me to the
door with his hand ceremoniously grasping the collar
of my coat, and kiudiy a?S's;iog aia to de?.ce?:d the
stcpr by ptrjecir.g against me, to keep me Lorn fidifn
backwards, a cavalry bcofc weigbii g (scru thirg Jefca
than a ten. Alter mature nfle-c:i"n I was part i;l!y
fcatitficd that n.y visits did not ifl rd-1! c telire family
that high d.jsrree of s itifectien I ha been led to ex
pect, acd I digconti usd them.
Soon after this, wiiue kiieeking around town one
evtniDg, I e'urnbled uron a theutre, and went in tc
witDesa the cold -blooded niaruer f soravbody's tragedy,
i found a neat in the pit. In 1 Hiking around upoa ti e
array of beauty end chivaby in the boxes, n y unf-us-peeticg
eyes suddenly ft.ll upon the niO?t beautiful gin
that the world ever ea', or probab'y ever will see.
There is certainly nothing like her to be fonnl in either
sacred or profane history. 'The rap urcus shock, the
thrill cf ecstacy I cxp-.rieaced cn beholding hi r v?ere
tremendous ia the extnnie. The shock cf the most
powerful galvanic battery were genlle touch of nn
infant's c-hressing finger m comrari&on. I seemed to
be driven through the floor, es it were, like a ten-penny
nail under the Etcdge-ha tamer cf a Titan.
Tuis terrifio sensation, which swept over my heart
like a Niagara cf dthght, wa3 what they cull Love at
Firs', Sight.
I ccnld cot withdraw my gfcze fioin her bewitch'ng
face. It rested there for l ours. Sho smiled ! Ye
goes! what a glorious smili! It wa3 tiiv.ce 1 My
heart, my eoul, my entire persucal individuality flo&ted
awr.y to the seventh heaven of love, leaving ray ward
robe sea'ed in the pit, an unconscious spectator of ths
gorgecu3 sjene around it.
The curtain fell upor the bst net ; or it may have
been'npon the first ; or it tr ay not have fallen at all
Indeed there may have bjea no curtain. I only know
that the audience rose to go at least she did; and I
presume the rest did also, ts I cannot sea what motive
they could have for remaining after she left. I can
barely remember that there was with hrr a grey-haired
gentleman, apparently about fiUy evidently her father.
She rose to go. Mechanically I rose to go too. It
bad been several hours since my eyes first fell upon her
divine face and form ; but
" So noiseless faiie tho foot of Time
Teat cnly treads in fl jwers,"
that to me it seemed but the shadow of one beggarly
moment. She threw her nubia over her head, cluster
ing with curls the least of which would have set a Sto
ic's heart aflanf?, and taking the arm ok the grey-haired
gentleman evidently her lather descended to the
street, where her carriage awaited her. . She entered it.
I would have given the wealth of the famed Lydian
king to have ben the driver, or even one of the horses,
fhe carriage drove tff. I seized with both hands the
board behind, where they strap the trunk, you know
and taking very long sttp3 and a great mauy of them,
I contrived to keep up.
Alter a run of about a mile, the vehicle drew up
quite suddenly. I was Dot prepared for it. The board
took me somewhere about the lower extremity of the
STATES OF AMERICA- WILMIK6T01st, N. C, TnURSD AY MORNING, MAT 19, 1804. I NO. 34.
vest and doubled m3 up like a jack anife. My life was
saved by a vial of paregoric which I happened to have
in my pocket. The lady descended ft om tha carriage
ai;d entered an elegant house. I walked over to the
opposite side of the street, and stood gazing at the en
vious door through which she had disappeared, until
the gray light of the ccmicg dawn began to appear
along the eastern horiion.
I soueht in vain to find cut who the lady was. For
feyeral days I wa3 quite distracted with heart-rending
mixture of doubts, love and anxiety, and I had serious
thoughts of applying for admission -to some lunatic asy
lum. Finally I determined as a dsrniet resort, to set
tle thj3 matter by a coup d'etat.
I employed" a hacktnan.who drove an open carriage.
I pointed cut the house to him. I pointed cut a lamp
post which s'.ood in iront of the door. " Now," said
I, " I'll tell ycu what I want you to do ; I'll get into
ymr carriage' a f-w hundred yards up the street. Do
y u drive down tt e street pretty fast, run agaicst that
lump pct, throw me cut upon the pavement, eutlitg
my head er breaking my arm by t! fUh, and then take
me up &r.d cany vte iti to that house, and tell the first
be aniiiul young ic.dy ycu meet on entering, that I have
he:n sirioualy ii jored by the running away of your
horses."'
That afttfnonn having put 00 a shirt which cost me
forty do lars in Atlauta, I entered the carriage. It
moved 2 quietly down th street until it arrived within
a huiidred yards of the objective point of the drive,
when it dashed 6ff at a somewhat greater speed than. I
hud bargained for. Jiowever, I said nothing, but held
my breath and waited the coming shock. Two of the
w-.eels pnun alone beautifully very near the curb s'.one.
We were in twenty feet cf a lamp post but it was not
the ri?ht one ! I Eprang to my feet and frunticly cried
'hold I" It was too late. There was a terrific cia.ih ;
the carriage stopped suddenly ; I shot forward ten feet
landirg at the huh of the horses, just aa they dashed
ofl, leaving the vehicle a worthless wreck behind
them. .
1 co.me to my senses about three weeks after, and
found myself lying on a wretched bed. in the wretched
backroom of a greasy Dutch huckster.
My scheme had failed miserably. The stake for
which I played was a sprained ankle or broken arai ;
aa elegant sofa in an elegant parlor, with an one-el
in hoops hovering about me, and adjusting with deli
cate, loviDg fingers, the splints and bandages;' the
dawn of the belle passion in a pure young heart; a
moonlight di c'r ration ; an acceptance, mingled with
sunny smile3 and delicious tears ; a parson and a bri
dal wreath, and the happiest fellow in Georgia. The
stake I won was a dislocated fchoulder ; a broken
head ; a fractured arm, and a shattered 1( g ; together
with the following bills, for all of which I executed my
notes of hand, ostensibly payable at eight, bat really,
I fear, at a very remote period.
That of the doctor for attendance $100. The drug
g'sls for drugs $63. The huckster for room rent
$75. The carriage maker for repairs $600. The nurse
for nothing $93 Making the grand rascal'y to-
tr l of $931 87.
The day I left Savannah 1 greatly added to my hap
piness by learning that the grey-haired gentleman was
the yoaijg lady's husband.

The House of Lords on the 6th delivered judgment
in the Alexandra case. Six legal Lords were present.
The Lord Chancellor first gave his judgment.
He argued that under the provisions of an act known
as the Qaeen'a Remembrancer Act, there was no au
thor1 ty to make such rules as the Barons of Exchequer
bad made. He therefore moved that the appeal of the
Crown be dismissed with costs. Lords St. Leonards,
Chelmtforde, and Kingsdowne concurred, while Lords
Cran worth and Wcnsledale were in favor of the hear
ing of the appeal by the Exchequer Chamber. The
appeal was therefore dismissed with costa.
l he London Times remarks that the fiaal decision
has been pronouueed cn a technicality, subtle and nar
row beyond even the ordinary narrowness of law. For
the present the victory remains with the defendants.
Bat it is impossible to suppose that the Government
will ocquiesce in the law as laid down by the two Se
nior Judges of the Exchequer, or fail to bring any new
offender to account, even it it should necessitate another
struggle in the courts cf law. 1
The London Times adds : If the Foreign Enlistment
Act be insufficient to repress enterprises endangering
the peace of the country, surely it is better to apply to
the Legislature than trust that, in some future case, a
report to a bill of exceptions will carry the main ques
tion to a tribunal which may reverse the judgment al
ready given.

The Morning Pest in its City article says the Con
federate loan is about to be placed oa a new basis. A
combined French and English undertaking, In which
the Confederate Government has an active ioterest, is
in active formation, having for its object to organize a
re'gular system of blockade running from the various
Con p. derate ports for the export of cotton.
'1 bo capital is 500,000 ote'rling. Shares are to be
allotted only to the (holders of Confederate bonis. The
company's steamers are to take out cargoes to supply
the wiU's of the Confederate Government. It is esti
mated that ibe whole of the bonds of the Confederate
loan may be exchanged for cotton and produce export
ed frcm Southern ports within twelve months.

Feexch Vikw of Yankee Finance. The Cour
rier d-,3 Etats Uuis, in an article on the American war,
jiiakis the following comments upon the financial aflahs
of the Nor:h :
The sp.ctiide presented at this day by the Uaited
States isaptrfect illustration of that exhibited by
England at the commencement of this century, during
ibe reign of paper money issued to defray the expenses
of the war against France, ihere was the same ex
uberant prosperity, the same superabundance of capital,
tne same excess of wild speculation, and the same fool
ish extravagance. The tollowkig paragraph from Al
lison, the historian, will show the result of that dazzling
experiment :
The employment of papet money by Great Britain,
permitted, no doubt, only in order to carry on a con
tinuous war, and to maintain for several years, the lar
gest armies ever before raised by a nation. Bat to
thi system must also be attributed the final results
whicn are ns disastrous as the first effects were benefi
cial and glorious, the augmentation of prices, the di
ruinisbed value of money, the iocrias? of expenses, the
propagation cf ambitious ideas and extravagant habits
amongst all classes of society, reckless speculation, pro
digal Jiving, ar.d frequent financial reverses, immense
vages, a general appearance of prosperity and demor
ahzitiou umong the laboring ckssep, a fluctuation of
prices without a parallel at any period of the world, the
creation of certain lortcnes and the deatructioa of cer
tain otters, in fact a universal disorder which, in
its consequences, are almost equal to the disaster of
revolution.
If a more forcible Eketch is desired, here is what was
written by the illustrious Cobbett in aa official letter,
wherein he reviews the causes of the distress, without
precedent and without remedy, by which England ex
piated its ephemeral oppulence of the preceding years:
The progress of our ruin has not been as rapid as
ws expected by some; still jet the number of our
poor has been increasing, since the year 17&3. The
farmers and merchants had the appearance of pros
perity, but it ta3 a delusive appearance, produced by
the bloated paper money. The increased taxes aad
pauperism it entailed carried destruction to the very
neart of the community. The email farmers heve
become dcy laborers ; the day laborers have gone, one
after the other, ta the poor bouses. The little farms,
formerly the witnesses to f o many scenes of frugality,
industry, morality and happiness, have seen, one after
the other the misery of their occupants ; the land of
which they were formed have goae to swell the domains
of the large proprietors or the parka of the lately en
riched. The cottages of the laborers have become
eheds for cattle, or have Men to ruins ; me&awhile

$1,756,500.
This is undoubtedly the most disastrous fuethat has

Geokgia Militia. Yv'e have an amusiner
anecdote on a lieutenant in thi3 city, who holds a com-,
mission under Joseph I, that is too good to keep, and
const qucntly we relate it for the benefit of our readers,
acd more especially lor the Governor himself. It ap
pears that a certain disriilery some four or five miles
from this city, was lately eciz:d by the government,
and this lieutenant and a qa:id cf men under him,
were stationed there to guard it. After standing guard
around it for some time, they came to the conclusion
that there was little danger of the distillery being
troubled, aLd concluded to play " old soldier." Re
pairing to a house close by, they commenced a social
garni of sevou up. When lo 1 while they were thus
agreeably entertained, some cunning -individual steals
the distillery and makes off wito bis ptizs, without
leaving track or trace behind, and not a little to the
chagrin cf the tLfcuspectihg Meiisb.

Death cf Capt. N. N. Fleming. We are pained
to hear from the SalJrbury Watchman, that the reoort
of the death cf Capt. N. N. Fleming, of the 46th regi
ment, is coLfirm.d. He fell in one of the recent bat
tles on the Ripieian. Capt. F. was a most excellent
man in all the relations of lite. He represented Row
an county iu the General Assembly for several years,
and was -at the time of his deatn a member of the
House of Commons. As soon after the commencement
ot the wtr aa he could re urn from his legislative du
tiep, be weat home, and, with others, organized a com
pany for tho war ; and uotwuhst ioding he has contin
uoudy been a memotr cf the Legisiaiure S'uce, he
ntver give up hii' po.ii.ioa in the army longer
than to attdd to ba duiUs ot his constituents.
Whdst others sought Legislative honors, to f.-e them
from military eei vice, Cap-. F. meiely regard' el them
as an auduioual duiy imposed upon him by the people,
and performed boui. Ho wa-! a gemlenian of good
solid attainments. His promini ccd in the Legislature
elevated him to the position of dpeuker of the House
at a recent session, r-nd he has bten prominently named,
more than ones1, in connection wish the office of Gov
ernor. He was a man ot w rm and generour impulses.

The Dagger of a Cannonade 1 he bloodlesa
ness of a cancnaiie ws shown on the North Carolina
coast a few weik3 i; ce, when the bloc kadt-runner
Lucy got agiouud. Tae authorities at the fort
promptly sent down guns to protect her. A letter
says : &
Prepara'iocs were at once made by the crew and
80id.ers from the fort to bale end float the Lucy, which
and been purposely filled with water to prevent the
enemy from towing cor off". Ia the ccuree of the
afternoon seven vessels advanced to attack the Lucy,
feeling their way by the lead and forming in line of
battle. From five o'clock until dark they continued
to rain shot and shell at the urarmed and stranded
little blockade-runner. The greater proportion of the
crew of the Lucy declicod to leave her, thereby dis
p'ayicg sound discretion, t?s not a single shot struck
her. For an hour and a half this farcical and harm
less discharge of Ehot and shell continued, and was
repeatedly replied to by the cool tars of the Lucy with
round upon round of laughter. While the balls were
whistling over heed atid tearing up the beach, the
sailors on board the Lucy were comfortably enjoying
their tea, and such cf th m as were on shore had much
amusement in lunnicg after the spent shot on the

Aaeon's Calf. "William, look up. Tell me who

William, who was considered a fool, screwing up his
face and looking thoughtful, and somewhat bewildered,
slowly answered, "Moies, I s'po'Be."
"That wilf do. Now," said counsellor Grey, address
ing the court, ; the witness 6ays be s'poses' Moses
made him. This certainly ia an intelligent answer
more than I considered bim cspabb cf giving, for it
shows that he has some faint idea of scripture ; bat I
submit it is not sufficient to justify hia being sworn as
a witness to give evidence."
" Mr. Judge," said the foci, " may I ax the lawyer
a question ?" Certainly," said the Judge, ' as many
as you please." " Wall then, Mr. Lawyer, who do you
think made you ?" Counsellor Grey, (imitating the
witness) " Aaron, I 'spose." After the mirth had
subsided, the witness exclaimed, " Wal, now we do
read in the good book that Aaron once made a calf,
but. who'd have thought that the 'taraal critter bad got
