'J FIRST BLOOD FOR TURKEY. An official dispatch from Constan tinople to the Turkish ambassador at London announces an engagement between the Russians and Turks, at Tc-hurukson. near Batoum, in which it is claimed that tne Kussiatis were defeated and put to rout with a loss of 800. Batoum is a seaport of Turkey in Asia, on the eastern shore of the Black Sea, has a fine harbor and a population of some 3,000. This is the first engagement of the great struggle, whieh will soon be at i:s height, and shows that all hope of a peaceful solution of the Eastern question has been abandoned. Latest By Mail.

Colonel Thomas B. Keoh, chair man of the North Carolina Republi can State Committee, is oat in & let ter announcing his support of Fresi dent. Haves Southern policy. He says in the letter : "President Hayes has undertaken the task of giving us at political rest and cessation from party strife which our people so " much crave. Our press and our pub lic men should give him hearty sup port in his noble efforts to bring about good feeling in the South and remove the causes or our trouble, Republicans are with him heart and soul. Tranquility and prosperity are within our reach, and can be se cured if Democrats will only join us in accewtincr these blessings at the hands of a Republican President. Time will show whether patriotism can conquer prejudice. Gen. Bank on the Situation. Special to Baltimore Sun. Washington, April 24, In conversation t-night General Banks said the administration was just entering upon its new policy, and time alone would demonstrate whether the President had made a grave mistake. The vital question is: What use will the Southern peo pie make Of the power given them by the President? If the Democratic leaders do not attempt to take ad vantage of the President and to cre ate a "solid bouth" for political pur poses, but will faithfully observe the promises made by Governors Hamp ton and Nicholls, then the success of the policy will have become assured and the President vindicated from the attacks of men within his own party. Gen. Banks expresses the opinion that the extra session of Congress will be a long one, running from two to three months, and that there will be a great deal of general legislation A correspondent of the Mag uolia Record, writing from Carteret county, tttllnthia nf ih storm: "The wind was from iliR Northeast, making the tides altirminfflv hieli. A number of chimneys were blown down, and several houses slipped from their foundations. On the Cane Banks, near Cane Lookout, the tide rose so high that the waters of Core Sound - and the ocean swept across the banks in 'nanv places. Nearly all the eattle and eep on these banks were destroyed, and forty-two dead ponies were found in one place. Two vessels came ashore, one with hH a living soul on it. Several vessels were capsized in the sound, and many, in pite of anchors, went ashore. The dam age has been immense." Phe VOL. XX. NO; 31. Spirits Turpentine. Farming is backward in Samp son.

Two hundred and sixty-two tons of guano have been sold this spring at the little depot, a 'orestville, on the Kaleigh & Gaston road.

Morning WILMINGTON, Raid He was Snake Rltten. One of the colored street prisoners, named William Russell, while engaged in ditching between Oakdale Cemetery and the toll gate, yesterday afternoon, created consider able excitement among his fellow workmen by the declaration that he had been bitten on the leg by a snake. One of them went off and got a pint of whiskey, which the fellow drank, and he was then put into a cart and taken to the guard house, being so drunk by the time he reached there that he couldn't get out of the vehicle. After be ing taken inside, a physician was sent for, who examined the wounded member but couldn't find the wound, and now some of his friends are so uncharitable as to inti mate the possibility that his complaint of being snake-bitten was only made with the view of getting the whiskey. A Gold Watch and Chain. The Chief of Police at CornmMa, S. C, writes to the City Marshal here to ascertain if any one in Wilmington has lost a fine double-case gold watch, duplex movement, together with a very fine gold chain. The watch and chain were taken from an es caped convict recently arrested in Colum bia, who had formerly been in Wilming ton, and where it is thought probable the articles were stolen. A gentleman who lately lost a gold watch answering to the description of the above will take steps to investigate. Anniversary Ball. Orion Lodge, No. 67, celebrated its 5th anniversary by a ball at Meginney's Hall last evening. A large number of ladies and gentlemen were present, and a gayer or more joyous crowd has rarely, if ever, assembled m that or any other hall. Eager ly anticipated and largely attended and en joyed, the affair certainly reflected the greatest credit upon the gentlemen en trusted with the management, as they had left nothing to be desired in their arrange ments. mysterious Disappearance. A young lad, about twelve years of age. strayed from his home yesterday and up to a late hour last night nothing had been heard of him, his f amity and friend, s of course, being very much distressed at his unac countable disappearance. He had on when he left home a brown pair of pants and a blue cloth jacket, and has a fresh scar un der his left eye. Any information as to the whereabouts of the youth eao be left at this office. Arrived Safely. A letter has been received in this city to the effect that Capt. Rufus Walker and fam ily, alluded to in our Smithville items yes terday as haying probably been lost during the late gale, have arrived safely at Beau fort. Capt. Walker himself went by rail, but one of his sous was out in the gale and the vessel he was in safely weathered it. Mr. Robert Walker, who was lost on the Sprunt, was a brother of Capt. Walker. Dog Badge. The attention of our citizens is called to the fact that there are but three days be fore the dog ordinance goes into effect, when the slaughter of canines will com mence, and that thus far but few badges have been taken out. Let every owner of a "purp" which he esteems call at the office of the City Clerk and Treasurer at once and get a badge. V. S. Commissioner's Court. John Simmons and Yancey Simmons, residents of ne of he adjoining counties, were arraigned before U. S. Commissioner Cassidey, on the charge of retailing tobacco without a license. They were required to enter into bond in the sum of $200 each for their appearance before the next term of the U. S. District Court, in default of which they were committed to jail. Violating the Revenue Laws N. B. Taylor, under commitment from U. S. Commissioner J. T. Bullard, of Lum berton, Robeson county, for retailing to bacco without a license, was brought to this city yesterday and lodged in jail, in default of security in the sum of $500 for his appearance at the next term of the u. S. District Court, in this place. Canal Meeting. We are requested by the committee to state that there will be a meeting at the Courthouse at 8 P. M. Friday, in the inter est of the "New River Canal," when the committee appointed at the last meeting will make a report on the subject. Citizens generally are invited to attend. Memorial Day. Mr. John C. James has been selected to deliver the usual address on Memorial Day, Mr. James is a very pleasant speaker, and will no doubt acquit himself handsomely Rev. J, B. Taylor, of the First Baptist Church, has been appointed Chaplain Meeting of Light Infantry. At a special meeting of the above organ ization last night, the resignation of Capt M. P. Taylor was tendered and accepted The following resolution was offered and unanimously adopted: Whereas. Our esteemed Captain, M. P, Taylor, has been elevated to the office of Maiorof the Second Battalion N. C. S. G., the holdine of which office rendered it necessary that he should relinquish the cap taincv of this company; and, whereas, he has tendered bis resignation, which has been resrretfullv accepted; therefore, be it Resolved. That the thanks of the Wil mington Light Infantry are due and are herebv eratefullv tendered to Capt. Taylor for the uniform courtesy and consideration which he has ever displayed towards those under his command, and for his untiring zeal and energy, manifested not only in the successful organization of the company, but in its successful existence up to the nresent. which has had the effect of giving the company the proud position in the military of this State. Mr. Walter Coney was then put in nomi nation and duly elected Captain, after which the meeting adjourned. N. C., FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1877. Albemarle and Chesapeake canal. But few of our readers probably are aware of the enormous trade and tramc that passes to and from Eastern North Caro- ina through the Albemarle and Chesa peake Canal, therefore the following statis tics may be of interest: Number and class of vessels which passed through the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal from September 30, 1874, to September 30, 1875: Steamers, 2,408; schooners, 1,837; sloops, 722; barges, 340; lighters, 697; boats, 425; rafts, 73; total ,502. Receipts of Produce through the A:bemarle and Chesapeake Canal, North, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1875: Bales of cotton, 47,754; barrels of fish, 13,217; barrels of naval stores, 11,202; bar rels of turpentine, 1,140; bushels of flax seed, 8,197; pounds of rags, 50,743; pounds of iron, 196,512; pounds of bacon, 54,527; last- blocks, 53,677; cords of wood, 2,007; bushels of corn, 440,907; railroad ties, 32,- 619; bushels of potatoes, 46,475; cords of juniper, 3,442; bushels of wheat, 3,070; bushels of beans and peas, 8,103; feet of umber, 27,008,580; shingles, 31,519,508; staves, 1,211,253; passengers, 2,384. Shipments through the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, south, for the fiscal year ending September 30th, 1875: Barrels of bread, 2,271 ; barrels of beef and pork, 9,694; barrels of cider and beer, 203, bar rels of flour, 32,775; barrels of fish, 773; barrels of molasses, 2,430; barrels of spirits, ,760; barrels of sugar, 2,495; bags of cof fee, 1,756; boxes of soap and candles, 2,039 : boxes of hats and shoes, 2,327; boxes of to bacco, 2,128; dry goods (cubic feet), 40,778; hardware (cubic feet), 1,126; kegs of nails, 2.291; crates of ware, 183; casks of lime and cement, 2,910; bushels of oyster shells, 59, 820; pounds of iron, 134,457; tons of guano. 1,517; .tons of ice, 990; bales of hay, 4,551; sacks of salt, 7,700; bushels of salt, 27,430; barrels of oil, 1,998; bushels of agricultural ime, 34,707; passengers, 2,136. The above is only the business done through one canal. A large amount of freight passed through the Dismal. Swamp Canal and the steamboat line between Ply mouth and Franklin, Va., by the way of the Seaboard Railroad. Our readers will thus see the great importance of pushing the New River Canal through at once to Pamlico Sound, so that our merchants can reach and participate in this vast field of trade. Celebration on the 20th of May. It is understood that the three white mili tary companies of this city will celebrate the20lh of May, whieh is the anniversary of tHe MecTrteTibnrg Dedamtion- of Indepen dence. We also understand that Hon. Ed ward Cantwell has been invited and will ac cept the invitation to deliver an oration ap propriate to the occasion. Judge Cant well's intimate connection with our citizen soldiery before the war, and his familiarity with events in the history of our State, which may bear upon his subject, pecu liarly fit him for the position of orator on this particular occasion. In this connection we would state that the Judge will incorporate in his address a history of the Wilmington Light Infantry, of which company he was at one time in command prior to the late war, and that any anecdotes, scraps of history, or any thing calculated to throw light upon the subject, will be gladly received by him. Anniversary of Odd Fellowship lu America. The fifty-eighth anniversary of the estab lishment of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in America was appropriately cele brated at Odd Fellows Hall, last evening, by Cape Fear and Orion Lodges in joint session. The following was the programme of the evening: Opening Ode by the Choir; opening prayer by the Chaplain; Dialogue by the Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master; Music (Hymn) by the Choir; Thanksgiving Prayer by the Chaplain; Speech by Grand Master W. L. Smith, Sr. ; Oration by the R. W. Grand Chaplain, J. L. Keen; Speech bv P. G. J. M. McGowan; Music, "Our Flag," by the Choir ;Speeches by P. G. S. H Fishblate, and N. Jacobi, W. J. H. Bella my and P. 8. W. L. Smith, Jr. ; Closing Ode by the Choir and members; .Benediction by the Chaplain. Temple of Israel. The second lecture of the Rabbi Ed. M. B. Browne, on "The Crucifixion and the Jews; or, have the Jews actually crucified Jesus of Nazareth," was delivered last eve ning, in his pleasing and graceful style, to a fair and attentive audience. The argument of Rabbi Bro we, as an ex position of Jewish doctrine on the cruci fixion, evinces decided ability in thought and arrangement, and the good taste he displays in studiously avoiding any allu sions which might prove offensive to the Christian believer, elicits the respect of his audience. The two lectures of the Rabbi delivered here have made an agreeable impression, and the good wishes of his friends in Wil mihgton go with him on his four. Thermometer Record. The following will show the state of the thermometer, at the stations mentioned, at 435 yesterday evening, Washington mean time, as ascertained from the daily bulletin issued from the Signal Office in this city Augusta, 74 Charleston, 76 Corsicana, 77 Montgomery, 76 New Orleans, 78 Norfolk 56 PuntaRassa, .' 78 Savannah, 78 St. Marks 77 Galveston, 76 Indianola, 80 Jacksonville, 81 Key West, 81 Mobile 76 Wilmington, 74 fDr. Bull's Cough Syrup is a purely Vege table Compound, innocent in nature and wonderful in effect.

That enterprising individual known as Taylor, alias Walker, alias Thompson, who conceived the happy idea of raising a suf ficient amount of cash to satisfy his press ing necessities by forging orders on our bu siness men, and who was so unlucky as to be detected in his little game, and get him self under lock and key. seems to have tried his fortune elsewhere with a little better success than crowned his efforts here. Col. Moore, upon whom be tried the experiment of "fleecing" with such disastrous effects ttk himself, yesterday re ceived a telesuteSfcrom Charlotte as fol lows : "Charlotte, April 26. ' ' Col. Roger Moore: "Taylor stole a horse and buggy from us. Hold him. Hunter & Farrow." Taylor has boasted of his ability to give the justified bond of $500 required of him here, or to deposit the amount as collateral, but from present indications he will not be able to get away on as easy terms as he thought, especially if new cases against him continue to develop themselves. There seems at present to be no doubt that he is an expert professional swindler, and we may bear yet of some of bis transactions in this line that will throw his little opera tions here and in Charlotte completely into the shade. Superior Court. The morning session of this Court was consumed in the argument of the case of J. C. Smith vs. Cannon & Oldham. The plaintiff was represented by Messrs. Wright & Stedman, and the defendants by Messrs. M., A. T. & J. London. Yerdict for plain tiff for $1,333.68. In the case of the people of North Caro lina upon relation of Thos. S. Kenan. At torney-General of North Carolina, vs. James Heaton, Clerk of the Superior Court of New Hanover county, all the facts were admitted by the defendant, the jury were discharged, and a special verdict will be rendered by His Honor, the Judge. This action was brought under chapter 90, section 15 and 16 of Battle's Revisal, which requires Clerks of the Superior Court to keep their offices open for the transac tion of probate . business every Monday from 9 A. M. until 4 P. M., and on each succeeding day until such matters are dis posed of, and in case of failure to comply, unless by sickness, the penalty is forfeiture of office. Look Out for Him. The Superintendent of the South Caro lina Penitentiary, at Columbia, writes to the authorities here to keep a lookout for one Charles Harrelson alias John Single ton, colored, who escaped from the peni tentiary on the 13th inst., and who is now said to be in Wilmington, passing under the name of Charles Davis. He is fre quently in the habit of donning female attire and passing off for a woman, having been detected several times in such cos tume. When rigged in this attire he usual ly passes by the name of "Lizzie," and will readily answer to that appellation. He is described as about 23 years of age, five feet five and a half inches high, black eyes, hair and complexion, and is a native of Charleston. A reward is offered for his arrest. Another Case Against Kpps. We learn that another warrant has been served on Charles M. Epps, the colored school teacher, now under commitment for forgery, in which he is charged this time with changing the figures in a school voucher calling for $35 and making it $40, after it had been approved; and it is also claimed that he forged the name of one of the school committeemen of Federal Point Township to the voucher in question. On these charges be was ordered to give a justified bond in the sum of $500 for his appearance before Justice YanAmringe this morning at 1U o clock, tie was re manded to jail, having failed to give bond in the case previously heard. Mayor's Court. Joseph Binlan was brought up before this Court yesterday morning on the charge of disorderly conduct on the streets, for which he was ordered to pay a fine of $20 and costs or work for thirty days on the streets; and in a case for drunkenness the samede fendant was required to pay a fine of $10 and costs or work for fifteen days on the streets. In the case of James Kelley, charged with disorderly conduct, judgment was BUS' pended on the payment of costs, and the same action was taken in the case of Catha rine Merrick, charged with being disor derly. Released. in the matter of A. Y. McDonald, the stranger mentioned in our last issue as hav ing been arrested on suspicion, having been discovered in a shed on the wharf at a late hour on Tuesday night, reclining on a bale of hay, with his boots off, a telegram was received yesterday from Mr, H. P. Jellisou, of Nashua, N. H., in whose employ he claimed to have formerly been, in answer to one sent by Capt. Fitzgerald, stating that McDonald is a man of good character, whereupon he was released, with an admo nition from the Mayor to be more particu lar hereafter in the selection of his place of lodging for the night. Historical and scientific. We are informed that Dr. Thos. F. Wood will deliver a lecture or essay before the Historical and Scientific Society on the 7th of May, on the subject of the Insectivorous Plants of the Cape Fear Region. It is sta ted that a limited number of complimentary tickets will be issued on the occasion. The address will no doubt be an interesting and nstr uctive one. WHOLE NO. 3,034 RIVER AND MARINE ITEMS. The steamship Regulator ',Doane, arrived at New York from this port on the 24th inst. The steamship D. J. Foley, Price, arrived at Baltimore from this port on the 24th inst. The Norwegian brig Hilding Ellingsen, arrived at Liverpool from this port on the 23d inst. The Schr. Charles H. Kelley, from Car denas for this port, was abandoned on the 21st inst. in a sinking condition. The crew were taken off by the Schr. Flora Wood- house and taken to Jacksonville, Fla. The -Kelley was 245 tons register, built at Calais, Me. , in 1857, and sailed from Bucksport. A dispatch was received by Messrs. Jas. H. Chadbourn& Co., of this city, yesterday, announcing the safe arrival in Hampton Roads, Virginia, of the Schr. Hattie Turner, for which considerable ap prehensions had been felt, as she was un derstood to have been out in the late gale. The schooner Frank & EmUy, Mc- Cobb, from Rockport for Wilmington, sunk in the gale of the 14th inst. The crew consisted of four men, who are supposed to be lost. The captain was picked up after being in the water twenty-four hours by the schooner Flora Woodhouse and taken to Jacksonville. The Frank & Emily was 135 tons register, was built in 1865, and h ailed from Columbia, Me. Mr. Denver, who was put on board the schooner Mary W. Hupper from the schooner M. K. Rawley, to endeavor to get the Hupper into port, states that when' he went on board the schooner she had no foresail, flying jib or wheel, and the rudder was merely hanging by the head almost useless. The nautical instruments and charts had been taken by the mate's wife (who was the captain's sister) when she was taken off by the M. K. Rawley, They made sail and headed for Wilmington, then bear ing southwest about 30 miles; the next morning made Frying Pan Lightship, about 15 miles distant.

Same night the pumps, gave out, and took off main hatches and com menced bailing, but gained only about two inches in five hours, having about two feet of water in the hold. At 9 o'clock on the 17th, schooner George S. Marts fell ip with them and took them to Vineyard Haven. For the Star. Examination at the Colored Public School at the Campbell Square Building, Taught by Mrs. Hattle L, Debuam, as Principal Teacher, As sisted by Miss Snsle VV. Thompson and Miss Jennie swett. The exercises were very creditable; the lecitations were good, embracing the fol lowing studies, to wit : Spelling, reading, history, geography, arithmetic, grammar, &c. The singing was fine, the general de portment of the children during the entire exercises was very good, and in fact, the examination might be regarded as a per fect success. The great number of vases, filled with beautiful flowers, sitting around the school room, tended to give cheerful ness to the occasion. Quite a number of parents of the children and other visitors were present, including some of the clergy. The Chairman of the School Com mittee, Mr. A. H. Morris, and other mem bers of the Board, were on the platform. At the conclusion of the exercises, another important feature was the presentation of some very beautiful prizes to those of the children who proved themselves most worthy, from the many deserving ones, to receive such tokens. These were present ed (in behalf of the teachers) by Col. Geo L. Mabson, who seemed to have been on this occasion in a much more proper ele ment than when on the political rostrum, and who, in a brief and appropriate speech, cheered on the happy recipients ; besides giving the whole school some very excellent advice. Those who received prizes were, Lucy Martin, Frank Donal son, Thomas Knight, and John Nixon. Af ler some. timely remarks by J. E. Samp son, a member of the School Committee, the exercises closed with singing by the school. An Observer. ;i'ii rrcin.
