A DImal Nlsht Through all the long hours of Friday nigi t the cold blasts, wafted from thefrozen regions of the Nonh, howled and moaned and whistled round the houses, rattling loose windows, slamminjrshutiersai.d caus; i?ig those who were most comfortably pro vided to crouch lower under the covering and draw its protecting folds closer about them; many of whom, restless and uneasy, listened and shuddered, fearful that each moment the dreadful sound of the fire alarm would break upon their ears, while thoughts of stranded ships aud drowning seamen clinging helplessly to frozen rigging flitted ever and anon before their drowsy vision. It is such a night as that v Licli should arouse the minds of those who are comfort ably housed, comfortably clad and provided wiih nil the necrssary conveniences, if not the luxuries of life, to a realizing sense of the suffering, destitution and want that surrounds them on every side. How many within tut: limits of our city bent and shiv ered over a few dying embers aud went- to a cheerless bed, destitute of nearly all the appliances of comfort, on that cold and dismal night, none but the Great One above us can tell. more KearcUius- After the Flltby .acre. We learn that the money digging mania has been raging to a great extent iu I he neighborhood of 111. ion. As mauv as a dozen lar,e holes have been dug, evidently by parlies in search of treasure. Qne ot these, in the field back of the McRae house, is said to be about twenty feet wide and at least ten feet deep, around which the "magic circle" has beeu drawn, as iu the case of the one alluded to yesterday, while there are also to be 6een various indications of "goophering" arrangements, &c. This ap pears to have been dug within the past few days. . ftre Yekierday Murulus- The alarm of riie yesterday morning, be tween 9 and 10 o'clock, was fouud to have its or gin iu a dwelling on the sou.h side o.

C, SUNDAY DECEMBER 19. 1875. A VOICK FUUM lU&rBISON. J. F. Porter, the Alleeed Convtet, r . , sPeak fer Iliinaelf HI Ktatemeut to the Public. We give below the statement of J. F. Porter, alleged to be an escaped convict from Georgia, whose arresi and imprison ment, togetber.with the fact of his arraign ment before Judge Henry on an applica. tioo for release under writ of habeas corpus, the decision of His Honor remanding" him to the custody of the officer from Georgia, his appeal to the Supreme Court, &c, was mentioned in the Star a few days since. Of course we know nothing personally. 8 to"! the facts in the case, but deem it no more than justice under the ciicumstanci 8 to give the accused the benefit of his own statement in the premises: New Hanover County Prison, ) Dec. 17lh, 1875.fi j" Editor Morning Star : Lear Sir: In your issue of the 16th insi.fl see an article headed " I he Es caped Convict," which I suppose is a state ment of Mr. J. S Wiae, who came to take me back to Georgia, which article does me great injustice. Therefore I hope you will give Jiie space iu your columns thai the facts in regard to my imprisonment may be made known, as 1 am a stranger here. The facts in the Case aie as tollows: In tlie latter part of 18(57 I was ap pointed a constable for the 1,234th district of Georgia, which embraced a portion of Atlanta, Ga., to fill an unex pircd term of a gentleman who had been tilling said office. When the term expired aud an ord r lor an election was issued to till said office, I was elected by a public vote and hi leu said office during: the lime for which I was eiected, giving full satis faction in all my official acts. When the second election came on I was re-elected. Dunng my second term there was consider aule dissatisfaction expressed, all owiug to my political pnuciplts, but with all they could bnun against me 1 was elected to fill a thiid term. Soon alter there was quite a number of charges brought agaiust me, but I succeeded in defeating all but two. The one besides this was for eaniulinjr. which was malicious; I was lined $125, which I paid; but they seemed determined to break me from office, so the Solicitor General went to the j til aud told a man who was coufiued tlieie awaiting trial that if he would be a witness axinst J. F. Porter that when his trial came up he wou.d use his influence with the court in his behalf. All this was adm tied by the Solicitor. On mv trial all the evidence I could briug seemed to avail nothing; the jury seemed determined to con iet me, wnich they did. Tbe Judge passed the following sentence on me, "Let the defendant. pay a tine of $600 and cost. aud in default thereof to work twelve months ou the public works of Fulton couuiy,"aud not $1,000 or twelvemonths iu the penitentiary, as the geutlemau swore in my healing betore Judge Henry. During the peuding of ray trial my office was declared vucuut aud another man ap pointed. I decliued to pay said fine and I was sent off, anil instead of being seul to the couutu vorks I was sent to ihe feta e prison. A few das after my arrival 1 learned that some parties were trying to Set up other charges against me, and fH confident l hat my liberty would be tawen from me. 1 had been allowed the liberty of the camp. Wheti such fact Came to my knowledge I considered it a duty I owed to my wife and children to prevent an im prisonment which might continue for yeais; therefore 1 made my escape. The statement that I went back on my constituents is wholly untrue, and so far as ray ever having received a bi lo allow a prisoner to escape, or receiving illegal lees. uo greater falsehood ever fell from the lips of man. If 1 ever go buck no punishment that could be imposed upon me woULd be too great. - The parties that had me in charge paid ele.ven dollars for my services for twelve months. The geuUcmah whof came after me told me that a considerable mm had been expended in trying to capture me. Now, in conclusion, 1 respectlully ask the public if ii docs not look more like a malicious persecution than vindicating the law. Hoping the readers of this article will be lieve iue when 1 say every word of it is true, I rcraaiu very resp; cttully, -.: J. Flournoy Porter.

Our police never had a full de scription of Porter; they received a veiy brief and ieaceuraic one, which answered far belter tor the man arrested by mistake than for Porter, as Mr. Wise acknowledged upon his arrival here.. They did not have information concerning the matter a. week before the attempted arrest as the Star al leges, but received it late in tbe afternoon of that day. It is now known that Porter bad been on his guard for several Sveeks previous to tuis auair, as he bad been recogr nized and spoken to b , art acquaintance. trom ueorgia, and by means of hrs own vigilance and that of friends got wind of Ihe fact, that the police were looking for him in lime to make his eaeapef oefor tbe mis take in Identity was discovered, . t he Wil mington iKlice in effecting the arrest had the benefit of all tbe necessary intelligence by wire lrpm this city, so they needn't strive to stick a whole ostrich plume in their caps.
