The "Washington Chronicle thinks Pinch back has gone too far. .The Federal commander at New Orleans had instruc tions to prevent interference with the Con servative Legislature. -New York had a terrible sleet Sunday morning, which damaged the police and . fire telegraphs to the extent of $150,000. The New Or leans Committee of Two Hundred have issued an address. Pinchback's ad dress threatened to disperse the Legisla ture. Stokes was found guilty of murder. Five convicts, in attempting to escape from Ward's Island prison, New York, were capsized in a boat, and two women were drowned. Congress met yesterday. Stokes sentenced to be hanged on the 28th of February. .. Mrs. Wharton was arraigned yesterday for an attempt to poison Van Ness. Reso lution that the Credit Mobilier Committee Hit with open doors passed the House. - On amotion in the House of Repre sentatives to commence proceedings against the Credit Mobilier for five and three eighths millions no quorum voted, though a quorum was present on call of roll. The question of method of choosing Presi dent and Vice President was introduced in the Senate yesterday by Morton, of Indi ana. Everything passed off quietly in Louisiana. The Legislature assembled. Sherman's resolution of inquiry as to the contested elections in Arkansas and Louisiana comes up in the Senate to-day. Decrease in population of Paris since 'CO is 168,935. - Heavy, snow storm in the trans-Mississippi section. ALL QUIET ALONG TUB MISSIS SIPPI. What is known as the Fusion or Conservative Legislature assembled yesterday without molestation in New Orleans. ' This is due to the firm de meanor of the military, who restrain,- ed Pinchback's faction from interfer ing. The pressue beginning to be brought to bear on the President may yet stay the mad course of the ultra eentralizers, and secure a lawful gov ernment for Louisiana. A, silent meeting of citizens, the largest ever held in the Crescent City, convened yesterday evening to give more support to the people's Legisla ture. Jho interest is taken in the. other body. The Committee of Two Hundred Citizens have supplied money to sustain the popular legisla tive body. The Legislature bavins ' no quorum, adjourned until to-day. Doubtless Congress will take charge of matters in Louisiana and Arkan sas. - The action in the Senate yester day would seem to indicate sucb in tention. GREAT EXPECTATIONS. Norfolk is a very modest place. It never' claims anything for itself. The local' papers are so bashful that the "City by the Sea' can never be known ,and appreciated by the great public until a change of conduct takes place. We ought to credit the fol lowing blushing little paragraph to1 the San Francisco Call or Omaha Her aid, as the Norfolk Journal would expire of sheer modesty were we sO indiscreet as to credit it to itself: . we nave always maintained, ana we mean to maintain to the end, that this city is destined to be the chief city of the At lantic coast south of New York. We go farther: the time will come when Norfolk . will surpass New York. We say this in no sectional prejudice, nor from a desire to arouse expectations that have no foundation on the broad basis of obvious facts. Again the truthful Record of the Weather requires the chronicling of severe disasters. A great storm pre vails, in the trans-Mississippi, and the heavy ice plays havoc at the North. The fire alarm and police telegraphs of New York have been down, and the loss is supposed to reach $150,000. W. L Thorp, Esq., has purchased a half interest in the Rocky Mount Mali, and assists Mr. Stilley in its editorial conduct. Mr. Thorp's acces sion will benefit the aper and the place, as he is a young gentleman of considerable energy. Another Fool Murder. . Murders are becoming more and more the sensation of the day. In Siew York and sister cities they are . of daily and nightly occurrence. The evil is spreading, and as it spreads it ' is assuming grosser and more offensive .forms. In the city of Baltimore, on the evening of the 2d, Mrs. Mary Ann Lampley, aged seventy-two years, was found lying in her house brutally murdered. The old lady, it seems, had been left alone during the absence of her husband and daugh ter at the theatre. The case is as yet involved in some mystery; but from the fact that some one thousand two hundred dollars were taken from the house, as well as the jewelry on Mrs. Lampley's person, it xs natural to con- clnA that.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Crrr Hall. Grand Promenade Concert. L. H. DeRo8set, Agent -Notice. See advertisement of ''Teacher Wanted." P. IIeinsbergkr. Blank.Books, &c. Shipping; Notes. Capt. Eldridge of the Schr. J. M. Hor- irfes, which arrived here yesterday, reports that his vessel was struck by lightning in the port of Asua, about 69 miles Southwest of the city of San Domingo, a short time since, by which his mainmast was shivered. The Morales was bound for Boston with a Cargo of sugar, honey, etc., and put in here under protest, this being the nearest port on the route. The Schr. Helene, Capt. Adams, from Boston for this port, reports the loss of her mainboom, mainsail and boat and also had her foresail split during the passage. Suppreitsf on of an Organ Grinder. The Italian organ-grinder, with his edu cated monkey, did quite a thriving business on our streets yesterday. As a ?success in drawing crowds a first-class lecturer stands no chance in comparison with a third-class Organ-grinder and monkey, even with but a slight difference in the pecuniary con sideration involved. In fact, the sidewalks became so obstructed by admiring music- lovers who followed up the show during jthe afternoon that the city authorities voted the exhibition a nuisance and an order "was issued for its suppression. A Daring Exploit. We learn that Mr. James Chadwick, em ployed at Messrs. Northrop & Cumming's mill, performed a rather hazardous exploit a few days since. He left Lockwood's Folly at 11 o'clock in the morning and reached Wilmington at 9 o'clock at night, coming all the way, about 15 miles of the disnce on the open sea, in a small shad skiff, which he rowed overhanded, coming in at the ; Western Bar. Very few would attempt such a trip in so small a boat He made 'excellent time and was not "skeered worth a cent." Alarm Telegraph. Alluding to this useful invention, an im perfect description of which was given in our last issue, the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department of Savannah, in his an nual report, says: " This simple but effec tive apparatus has given entire satisfaction; in no case failing to convey prompt and ac curate alarm. In two years there appears no perceptible wear and tear, and, its dura bility bids fair to equal its simplicity and efficiency. Its usefulness and economy be coming apparent, the system has been ex- tPnriAd until the citv is now well covered by 23 stations." Nntt Street. Nutt street is nol only in such a muddy condition generally as to almost swamp drays and other vehicles, but it is also so nar row that it is with much difficulty that two drays can pass each other. v An instance in point occurred yesterday. Two drays go ing in different directions attempted to pass each other, when the wheel on one side of one of them, to which a mule was attached, became so deeply imbedded in the mud (about two feet) that the animal was thrown from his feet, and was naarly suffocated in mire before he could be raised. Taking a Bide. The itocky Mount Mail says: One night last week Jim Weldon, engineer on the W. & W. R. R. brought a homed owl from Wilmington to Rocky Mount, a dis tance of 170 miles, on the head lamp of his engine. Upon reaching Rocky Mount the bird flew off. As it has located near Rocky 1 Mount, we naturally conclude that the owl 1 .omnlnni Mnl and Will TlOt JlOOt . &t US. I w u wtgtJviuu'J wuu, ..m l even tho' it is from " the city."

A grand Promenade Concert for the benefit of St John's Church will take place j at City Hall on, Friday evening, January j 10th. See advertisement elsewhere. "Roast beef," said a boarder to a waiter at one of our hotels a day or two since. "How wHl you have it, sir?" "Well done, thou good and faithful servant f We are indebted to Geo. W. Childs, Esq., of the Philadelphia Ledger, for a copy of his Ledger Almanac for 1873, which is very useful for reference. There has been a change of schedule on the W C. & R. R.

' The receipts in the City Treasury dur ing the year closing the 31st December, 1872, amounted to $128,417 82, of which $85,649 80 was for real and personal and $42,768 02 for specific taxes.. A dispatch has been received in this city announcing the death in Savannah, Ga., yesterday morning, of Mr. William Giles Bradley, formerly of this place. The funeral will take place at St. James, church on Wednesday morning, at 9 o'clock, from whence the body will be carried to Whrits- ville Sound for interment We learn that an effort will be made to repair the injuries to the propeller of the steamship Pioneer without hauling her on the ways. This will be done by stowing all the cargo possible in the forward part of the steamer first, thus tipping up the stern and enabling workmen to reach the pro peller. ' Sunday School JIiu Meeting Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, on last Sabbath, several of our Sunday Schools met at the First Presbyte rian Church, at 4 o'clock, P. M., to hear an address from Rev. John McCullogh, Secre tary of the Southern Department of "The American Sunday School Union." It is enough to say, the address was character istic of the man, who, for more than thirty years, has given his whole time and atten tion to the promotion of this noble cause in our Southern land. From his treasury of interesting facts, he gave us a few, showing the necessity, val ue, and results of these Bible Schools planted by the Agency of ."The American Sunday School Union" among the destitute. Here in North Carolina, as stated by this veteran Sunday School man, over nine thou sand dollais have been expended by the Society within the past six years, in estab lishing Sunday Schools, and supplying the destitute with libraries. There has been 824 schools organized and otherwise aided with a total membership of over 40,000. We are pleased to learn that, at night, a large audience greeted Air. Aicuunogn at the First Baptist Church, to hear more about the work and wants in the Old North State. As a co-worker in the same noble chris tian enterprise, the Rev. G. S. Jones, a sue cessf ul missionary in North Carolina, - has been assigned the duty of visiting the dif ferent cities and towns throughout the State,' so-as to give the citizens an opportunity of co-operating with the Society in this great and blessed work. We bespeak for him. while in our city, a cordial reception and liberal response. New Hardware Bonae. A new wholesale and retail hardware es tablishment is soon to be opened here by Messrs. Clayton Giles, of this city, and J, W. Murchison, of Fayetteville. The store corner of , Princess and North Water streets is being fitted up for this purpose, and the gentlemen alluded to will leave for New York in a few days to lay in their stock. Both gentlemen enjoy the reputation of possessing fine business qualifications, while they will have as an assistant a gentleman (Mr. Berrv Gleaves. lately connected with e establishment of MessrsvTbawson, .Tee! & Henning) who has large experience in theLhardware business. The new firm have our best wishes. Seizure for Taxes. The first seizure of personal property for the payment of State and county taxes was made yesterday afternoon. It appears that the property belonged to non-residents, and the aeent who carried on the business claims that it is therefore nit liable to taxa tion. The Tax Collector holds, however, that the. law makes no distinction between property belonging) to non-residents, or in the way of a consignment, and that belong ing to the party in charge, all being alike liable to taxation or seizure for non-payment of the same, Death In Battleboro. We are pained to learn of the death of Mr. Alice McGuire. wife of Mr. R. H. Mc- Onire. of the Battleboro Advance, and daughter of Henry G. Williams, Esq., o: Battleboro, which sad event occurred atthe residence of Mr. Williams on last, Jmday, The deceased lady was' young, ' amiable and greatly beloved. . We deeply sympa thize with the bereared family. N. C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1873. xoard of Alderman. The Board met in regular monthly ses sion last night: - A proposition of J. 8. W.

Alderman Radcliff on behalf of the Com- mittee on Fire Department, made an ex tended verbal report on matters relating to the Department and on charges of misman agement at the recent fire, corner of Mar ket and Second streets, attributing the prin cipal cause to a short supply of hose. The City Marshal reported that he needed 2,000 feet of hose as follows: 400 feet for the Brooklyn, 200 for the Cape Fear, 300 for the Adrian, 300 feet for the Rankin and 800 for the Mechanics' Hose Company.

The Louisburg Courier . heartily endorses this noble action. The Iiouisburg Courier learns that there have been seven deaths from small-pox at the residence of Mr. Reuben Rosters ud to this time. The weather is bo unfavorable that the doctors have but little, hope of several others in that neighborhood. Henderson Redman, a colored. man, was found dead on Christmas day, about 14 miles Northeast of Statesville. The negro had been out On . a hunting ex pedition, and having too freely used tangle leg wended his way to a negro cabin, and not being able to reacn it, no oouot laid down and died. The jury of inquest gave in their verdict. " death was caused from the use of bad whiskey." So says the In- teuiyincer.

On Christmas evening (says the Citzzen)yhe good citizens about Swananoa. some thirteen miles from Asheville, were thrown into great excitement by the killing of Mr. Millingtori Lyttlq, Jr., by Mr. Lewis Ingram. It , seems, from what we could learn, Ingram, and one or two others, were at the house of Mrs. Elizabeth Stepp, and engaged in a personal quarrel, when Lyttle came up. Seeing the difficulty he approach ed tbe parties, and commanded the peace, whereupon Ingram turned upon him quite suddenly, attacked him, cutting him with his knife, the blade of which was about three inches in length, from which he died almost instantly. Upon examination the above facts were elicited, whereupon In- ?am was arrested by Deputy Sheriff R.' H. oung, and committed the jail. Of course (adds the Citizen) whiskey had something to qo witn it.
