X Panic lu Cotton. New York, April IT. There is a semi-panic in the cotton market, beginning late yesterday. Prices have run down with unusual rapidity, touching the lowest figures that have been reached in many months. The depression is primarily due to the threatened war in Europe, by which the consumption may be chocked and manufactures interrupt ed. But, in addition to this, stocks are excessive hero aud in Liverpool. Letter from Charles Francis Adam. By telegraph to Journal of Commerce. New York, April Inf. The following remarkable letter is now made imblic for the first time. As will be seen it was written on the day of the inauguration of President Hayes: Boston, March 5, 1877. Hon. 81 J. Tilden, New York. Deah Sirw On Uiis day,- when you ought to have been President of the United States, I seize this opportu nity to bear my testimony to the calm and dignified manner in which you have passed through this great trial. It is many years since I ceased to be a party man, hence I have endeavor ed to judge of public affairs, and men rather by their merits than by the name they take. It is a source of gratification to me to think that I maile the right choice in the late elec tion. I could never have been recon ciled to the elevation, by the .smallest aid otfjrjiine, of a person, however re spectable in private life, who must forever cany upon Ins brow a stain of fraud for the first time triumphant in African history. No subsequent action, however meritorious, can wash away the letters of that record. , rory respectfully yours, Ohaui.es Francis Adams. tSuilct-Proof Paitenger Car. From the Baltimore Suu. There has just been completed at nhe car shops at York, Pa., the first bullet-proof car ever manufactured an the United States. The car is 31 tfeeLiong, 8 feet high, and furnished with all the latest improvements in ventilation, etc. The body below the window? is covered withf inch iron, and the panels betweeu the windows and the body above them are covered with 3-1 G inch steel. The windows can be closed with steel slides, aud when they are down the entire car is bullet-proof. The interior is richly ornamented, and in appearance inside and out resembles a first-class passen ger coach. It weighs about 6,500 pounds, and was ordered by the Span ish government for use in Cuba. Tlie mountain Meadow Massacre. A correspondent of the New York Herald has had an interview with Mrs. Eliza J. Webb, the mother of Ann Eliza, the recently divorced wife of Brigham Young. Mrs. Webb is one of the original Mormons, and claims to be conversant with the de tails of the Mountain Meadows mas sacre. The correspondent met the lady at Lockport, N. Y. She insists that Brigham Young instigated and probably ordered the slaughter. . Tlie Storm at Newborn. During the recent storm the high tide At Newbern did great damage It was one of the highest and most destructive ever known. The Nut Shell of Monday says: "The two streets, South Front and East Front, were almost completely submerged in water by daylight Sat urday morning, and the tide penetra ted far up other streets. Boats draw ing one and Jvo feet of water, heavi lv loaded with furniture, eroods. etc.. were floated to the doors of buildings which were situated hundreds of yards from the usual level of Neuse and Treat rivers; business men, in many instances, had to wade knee . deet in their stores to srocure Eroods wbich they wepe saving Sxotp destruc The Morning Star. VOL. XX.---NO 24. tion, and those who had d Wellington the water side of East and South Front streets were compelled to move their furniture in upper stories in or der to insure its safety. It is impossible to arrive at any definite estimate of the entire loss, but we think $10,000 cau be put down as a low calculation. Mr. Daniel Stimson's loss, by damage to the machinery of his steam saw mill and the floating away of lumber, staves, etc., will probably reach $700; Mr. Samuel Radcliff and Mr. D. Congden, who also owned steam saw mills on the east side of East Front street, probably lost about $500 each; Messrs. Blakely, Williams and ones, dealers in shingles, lost some $200 or $300 each; Mr. William Hal ter, who had on hand 300,000 shingles, lost about one-third of his stock; we are informed Mr. Alex. Justice's loss, by damage to moveable property on his premises, will reach $250; Mr. Elijah Ellis probably lost some $350 or $400 by damage to his wharves and still, and the floating away of wood, staves, etc.; Mr. Johu Patter son's loss will not fall far short of $1,000, the large and costly bridge leading to Ins wharf beiug badly damaged, the wharf being considera bly torn up, and a lot of naval stores, etc., being washed away; it will take at least $600 to repair the dam age to Messrs. Wade & Howard's ship yard; cotton brokers lost some $100 or $200, in all, by damage to stock; Mr. Thos. A. Green lost over 200 sacks of salt; Mr. A. R. Denni son's loss, by damage to steam cotton giH, and other property, will reach $100; several chimneys attached to small dwelling houses on South Front street, were washed down. A great many other citizens sustain! losses, but we were unable to learn them. The terrible tide which caused all this trouble remained at a standstill, after reaching its greatest height, lor many hours, and" if was quite amusing to see washed-out inhabi tants of East Front street huddled together on high spots, around im provised tables taking their meals, and to witness the curious spectacle presented by inhabitants of South Front street in paddling small canoes about the neighborhood to console with unfortunate neighbors, and to reach their homes in order to respond to the dinner or tapper call. A small building, which was floated from its foundation during the day, was seen going up Trent river with a sole occupant, a rat, which was perched upon the roof. A large barn on Mr. A. Justice's premises was ta ken from its foundation and carried some distance up into the yard. Af ter nightfall the waters began to re ceed,and at 10 o'clock there wa only a moderate high tide.

State Treasurer Worth says the $100 tax in section 10, schedule B, only ap plies to warehouses used exclusively for exhibiting and selling cotton, and has no reference to warehouses where cotton is simply stored. So we learn from the News. Oxford Jfree Lance: It is evi dent that Granville county affairs are worse managed now than they have ever been at any previous time. Enormous orders are needlessly issued, and some of them for matters the county of Uranville has do more to do with than it has with the grocery bill of the Commissioners. Biblical Recorder; The revival at Cbapa1 Bill continues. TJp to Saturday morning, the time of Dr. Pritchard's leav ing, twenty-five had made a profession of faith, eighteen of them students of the Uni versity. Among the latter were two sons of .Professor rhuiips, one or them a mem ber of the Senior class. Monroe Express: Our farmers are greatly behind-hand with their opera tions, owing to the unusual amount of rain and the late opening of spring. The pros pect for an abundant fruit crop is yet ex cellent. If we have no killing frosts from now on we will have a good crop of peaches for the first time in a number of years. The commission appointed by the Legislature to contract for the building of a new residence for the Governor of the State.will memorialize Congress to pay $2, 000 a year for the barracks used by the U.

Hill says that it is plain from the account of the wounding of Col. Hayes (now President) in the New York Herald, that it was done "by Gar laud's brigade of North Carolinians, and we think that it was done by the 23rd N. C. regiment, the same that killed Gen. Reno." This was at South Mountain, when Hill himself, "the bravest of the brave," made such a magnificent fight with his handful of North Carolinians. The Newbernian complains of the iron piling on Brant Island shoals. It says: The schooner Mary L. VanKirk, in beating up the sound during the heavy N.

A new Lodge of this order was instituted in Charlotte, on Sunday last, by Mr. A. Haas, President of the Grand Lodge, as sisted by Mr. J.I. Macks, of this city, to he known as Charlotte Lodge No. 280. At a magnificent banquet giveu the same even ing, as we learn from the Observer, the fol lowing among other toasts was.given: "The Old North State Lodge," by J. L Macks, of Wilmington, was responded to by Charles R. Jones,alluding to the history of the Jewish race the marks left by many eminent Jews on the records of the world, and particularly to the fame of Rothschild, Disraeli and Judah P. Benjamin, as well as to the prejudices that exist toward the Jew ish people. He then proposed "Wilming ton, Charlotte and Atlanta," ia compliment to yisiting guests, N. C, THURSDAY, Local Dots. Two seamen, who were confined iu the guard house for non-payment of fines and costs, were released yesterday, the same having been settled. Col. Chas. R.

Monday, the 23d, is the regular day for the commencement of the term. Capt. Garrason, of the steamer D.

We wisluhe Captain the greatest success in his efforts to promote the prosperity of the Observer. The jail physician examined the wound of Thomas Johnson, mentioned in our last as having been shot by the jailor while attempting to escape, and finding that no secondary hemorrhage had taken place, andjhat the wound was doing as well as could be expected, he was taken with the other prisoners to Raleigh yester day morning . From Smithville. A correspondent at Smithville, writing under date of Tuesday, the 17th, says: "The Timnums arrived here safe and sound, with all of her crew, at 11:30 this morning. On her entering the. harbor, sh was re ceived with every manifestation of joy by the people. The shore near Mr. Prigge's store was lined with people. The Timmons, during the gale, lost one of her hatches, but retained both of her skiffs, to the sur prise of every one. The largest had her bows stove in. They say the boat went under double reefed sails, until the storm, becoming more severe, rendered it necessary to take in all sail except the fore sail, an d.Jhal had three reefs in it. The waves rolled mountains high, tne wina blowing so nerce as to some times flatten the sea. The boat remained at the mercy of the waves until Sunday morning, when they run into Georgetown. They say that the last tune they saw the Sprunt was on Thursday last. The Sprunt being farther off shore than the limmons it is expected she will be iu to morrow. Every one has strong hopes of seeing her once more. The light ship dragged twenty odd miles. She was towed iu this afternoon, near Mr. Ma larkey's lighthouse, outside, and anchored. She is anchored in sight of Smithville. The Neff was gotten out of the marsh with out damage. The Stoift still remains on the rock she struck on. "Last night an entertainment with a magic lantern was given by a colored man, in the interest of the A. M. E. Church. The scenes were principally scriptural. A good crowd was present at the exhibition. "The weather here since Sunday morn ing has been pretty fair, with occasionally a few clouds passing over. Now aud then it looks like rain."

Hagood, the alleged bigamist, also charged with grand larceny, whose arrest here last week has been referred to more than once in this paper, having been re leased by Mayor Canaday after a detention. of six days, was recaptured at Goldsboro' Monday evening last, but we now learn on that he succeeded in making his escape on Tuesday night and is now again at large. The Charleston News and Courier of yester day morning, referring to this matter, says: Yesterday morning a dispatch was re ceived from the Mayor of Goldsboro, N. , by Captain Hendricks, notifying him that the bigamist, who had been released by the Mayor of Wilmington, bad been re- aptured at that place, and asking for ad vice. Captain Hendricks replied bv wire that an officer with a requisition from the Governor of Georgia would, leave by the next train." The same afternoon the ne cessary papers were placed in the hands of Officer Nipson, who was to leave for Golds boro as soon as some necessary informa tion could be received from Rome, Ga. Kulehts of Honor. Delegates of Knights of Honor had a meeting in this city last night for the insti tution of a Grand Lodge of that order for the State of North Carolina.

The following will show the state of the thermometer, at the stations mentioned, at 4.35 yesterday evening, Washington mean time, as ascertained from the . daily bulletin issued from the Signal Office in this city: Augusta, 77 Montgomery, 70 New Orleans 73 Norfolk 71 PuntaRassa, 73 Savannah, 73 St. Marks, 69 Wilmington, .... 70 Charleston, 71 Corsicana, 74 Galveston 79 Indianola 81 Jacksonville, 79 Key West 80 Mobile 68 RIVER AND HIARINB ITEMS. Tim ii.-itmr, Tig6usea, arrived at London from this port on the 4th inst. The schooner Boamer, McFarland, cleared from St. John for this port on the 13th in st. The schr. IraveOer, Capt. Hodges, from St. Pierre, Martinique, put in here yesterday in distress, her rudder being out of order. She will repair and proceed. She is loaded with sugar. The schr. J. R Bodwell, Capt. Spauld ing, which arrived here yesterday from Rockland, Me., reports having experienced heavy weather, having been blown sixty miles south of Savannah during the late gale, losing fore-gaft, stove boat, water- casks, &c, and carried away davits. The report that the Frying Pan Shoals light ship had lost all her sails in the late storm was incorrect, as she was under full sail when she came up to her present loca tion, off Bald Head light, on Tuesday even ing, referred to elsewhere. Her sails were clewed up at the time she was seen, and was thought to have lost them. Captain Garrason, of the steamer D. Murchison, reports about thirty-five or forty feet of water on the shoals between this city and Fayetteville, and that it is now gradually falling. He says the proportion of water in the lower part of the river is much greater than that in the upper part, probably caused by the big freshet in the Black River region. Up to a late hour yesterday af ternoon no news had been received at Smithville m reference to the missing pilot boat Mary K. Sprunt. A Savannah dis patch of the date of April 17th, says: 'The steamship America passed the Frying Pan light ship off Remain, steering northwest; also passed one-half of the deck of a pilot boat ten miles northeast of Romain, and off Hatteras, ten barrels tar, shingles and other drift stuff." The portion of a pilot boat here referred to may postibiy have be longed to the Sprunt, but, as there is no certainty about it, we will continue to hope that the missing boat will yet turn up all safe. The pilot boat bnah Timmons, Capt. C. C. Morse, arrived here yesterday after noon. Having been an object of much in terest for several days past in connection with the uncertainty as to her fate, she was of course the observed of all observers and many flattering compliments were paid to the handsome and gallant little craft for the manner in which she successfully weathered the great storm that proved fatal to so many vessels of large size. Capt. Morse, to whose skill and good management is due much of the credit for the safety of the Timmons and those on board, was also the object of much interest and very general congratulation on the part of his many f riends and acquaint ances in this city. He confirms the state ment already published, that the last he saw of the Sprunt was on Thursday be fore the storm commenced, at which time she was in the neighborhood of the light ship. The same evening he saw a boat beating in towards the bar, and thought at the time that it was the Sprunt, and that she bad succeeded in getting inside. He declines to express an opinion as to the probable fate of the missing boat, but it is easy to see that he has very grave appre hensions as to her safety. A good many persons visited the limmons at the wharf between Dock and Orange streets during the afternoon. WHOLE NO. 3,027 For the Star. SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. The Superintendents of the different Sun day Schools of the city, seeing the necessity of having a Sunday School Union, have held two meetings to consider the matter, and on last Tuesday night, in the First Baptist Church (colored,) the following Superintendents delivered addresses on the subject: From Trinity Chapel, brother P. W. Lawrence; from St. Stephen's, 'brother Wm. McLaurin; from Christian Chapel, brother L. D. Canady; from First Baptist Church, brother H. Reid. They will meet there again next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, P. M., at which time they hope to meet every Superintendent and every min ister of the city to make further arrange ments.

To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schecck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy expecto ration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest ana the lungs begin to heal. To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and li ver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act en the liver, re moving all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative: the alkali of which it is composed mixes with the food and prevents souriag. It as sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a healthy condition, so that the food and Pulmonic Syrup wul make good blood ; then the lungs heal, and the patient will surely get well if care is taken to prevent fresh cold. All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either per sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday. Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists througfaeut the country. DIED, WARROCK-Inthis city, on last night, at lltf o'clock, Mrs. MART M.

TVhEREAS, THE DIFFICULTIES PRESENT ing themselves, in the adjustment of the debt of the County, upon a basis satisfactory to this Board, as well as the Creditors, appear to be insurmounta ble; and, Whereas, The Law requires us to "audit, scruti nize and examine, and make enquiry con cerning the origin and consideration" of each claim, and to "compromise and settle on such terms as they (we) may think just and equitable," and to "recommend the payment of such part as they (we) may seem equitable and jnst," of the claims afore said; and, Whereas, After a due examination of the origin and consideration of the claims, we are satisfied that but few, if any, should be settled for the full amount of their face value, and it is impracticable to adopt any rult by which they may be classified and scaled; and, Whereas, Upon interview held with sundry hold ers of the various classes of claims, we find no dis position on their part to propose any terms for a compromise; and, Whereas, It is impracticable for us to make dis tinctions in the settlement of said claims which would result satisfactorily to all concerned, Be it Resolved, That it is the unanimous opinion of this Board that a just and equitable settlement of said claims would be the exchange of Bonds of the County, issued under the Act creating this Spe cial Board of Audit, for Eighty Per Centum of the face value of said claims, "whether in judgment, county warrants or otherwise." The above Preamble and Resolution were unani mously adopted by the Board after a most patient and thorough Investigation and deliberation. Other reasons.beslde those named, have forced themselves upon us in arriving at the conclusions. If suck creditors of the County, who are willing to accept a settlement on the terms proposed, will notify the undersigned, in writing, to that effect, the Board will at once report their action in each case to the County Commissioners, who will cause the Bonds ta be issued in accordance with the provi sioes of the Act of Assembly.
