Washington, May 17. Secretary Thompson, one of the most apjuroachable of the Cabinet ministers, is a chatty and agreeable old gentleman ; wears rather long, gray hair ; shaves clean, in the most universal custom of thirty years ago ; and looks' at you with a pair of dark, mournful eyes, and talks in a quiet, easy style, while he holds a lighted cigar in his mouth. He says he in tends to examine thoroughly all the navy-yards just as he has done those at Norfolk and Washington, but is so pressed for time that he cannot say when he will make the rounds. The .Secretary breathes the spirit of reform, which seems to actuate all the Cabinet (even Sherman, of whom nothing was expected), and has faithfully set himself to work to become familiar with all the affairs of his Department and everything that is likely to come under his su pervision. He found the department conducted in all its details with re markable disregard of system, and he began at once to correct abuses and stop the leaks. He says he don't see why his Department staoulcLjiot be operated upon plain business prin ciples, and believes when it is brought to that basis, and every official is held strictly accountable for his conform ity to law, the concern will almost run itself. Plrc In South Carolina. Special to the Charleston Journal of Com merce. Darlington, May 17.

Leaving Lenoir in the rain we pass on the left of Lower Creek Church, where Dr. Wingate preached his great sermon on the Prodigal Son. A new sect now prospers near the same spot. Mr. Cargyle has intro duced and propagated their views. They deny the immortality of the soul; believe that Christ will soon come and reign a thousand years on the earth, and will give immortality to his people and consume with fire the devil and the wicked. They also believe iu regeneration and immer sion. J. H. Mills. Spirits Turpentine. Judge Settle is back and is in Greensboro. Surry is going it heavy for a tobacco crop.

News : An unknown crazy white man was arrested on Fayetteville street yes terday morning and put in the calaboose for safe keeping. It is supposed that he came from Newbern, as he was continually speaking as if he had a family in that place. Wilson Express: We hear many complaints of the disastrous effects of the recent cold weather upon the cotton props among the farmers in this section. Cotton planted four weeks ago has failed to come up, and an examination reveals the fact that the seed have rotted in the ground. Orphan's Friend: Fisher's river flows from Fisher's Peak, which marks the State line on the Blue Ridge, and is the highest peak seen from this section. The peak gives the name to the river. It is possible that the Ararat gets its name in the same way, and Mt. Airy may be a corrup tion of Mt. Avarat. Rocky Mount Mail: We learn from Mr. John M. Wilson, of Johnston county, that he made in the year 1874, on 29 acres of land, 44 bales of cotton, 12 acres of the farm making 24 bales, 17 acres making the other 20 bales of the 44 bales total.

Greensboro North State : Upon the return of the delegates from Mt. Airy, last week, where the annual meeting of the stockholders was held, the friends of the enterprise thought it advisable to postpone the election in this county from June 7th to August 2d, thereby affording ample time for a thorough canvass, and at a time peo ple had more leisure to devote to the subject. Winston Sentinel : We have seen some baskets ladies' work baskets, and others for heavier work, made of wil low twigs and branches, by some poor country girls living about five miles below town, and for cheapness and neatness of design and workmanship, are certainly creditable specimens of native industry. Extremely cheap in price also, from ten cents up to thirty and forty cents. Greensboro Patriot: There seems to be some misapprehension about the ex penditure of the appropnation to the Mt. Airy and Fayetteville roads, to be voted on at the election on the 7th of June. We are informed that the money so appropriated is to be expended in the county, so that what the people of the county pay out in one way they get back in another. What the tax-payer pays out the laborer, farmer and machanic get back for labor, produce and material furnished. Raleigh Observer : Assistant Attorney General B. P. Smith, of Washing. ton City, was in the city yesterday, and took the depositions of His Excellency, Gov.

Tne spire is tastv. and one of the tallest in the western part of the State. When the Episcopal church is built, and the Catholic church comes here, we will have ail the prevailing christian sects in the world represented in our midst. Father Gross, while here, ex pressed himself highly pleased with the community and the general aspect of things, and we would not wonder it Uisiiop tiib bons would, at an early day, build a chapel here for his church. The Raleigh colored firemen were reported as threatening to disband because they had not got offlce under the new city government.

We indignantly resent such intima tions. We de not wish to be made the subject of political wrangles. We are citizen-firemen, able and willing to do our full duty whenever a necessity arises." Richmond Dispatch: W. C. G. Andrews, of North Carolina, who was con victed in the Hustings Court of Petersburg, last month, of passing a forged paper, was this morning released from jail on a pardon received from Governor Kemper. An drews was sentenced to two years' impris onment in the penitentiary, but was respi ted from execution of sentence for 40 days to await action on papers laid before the Governor praying for his pardon. The ac cused was beyond doubt the dupe of an other and more guilty party in this matter. It is understood that the influence of Go vernor Vance, of North Carolina, was used in his behalf, N.

Our friends will greatly oblige us by handing in their advertisements early in the day, especially on Saturdays. Our Sunday's issue is always delayed by those of our advertisers who wait until Saturday night before writing their advertisements. Our rifle club seems to be be hind time in its arrangements for the spring and summer campaign. In other cities the "bull-eye" boys are having a good time, while the Wilmington rifles are silent. Let us go to work in earnest now and have Borne fun. Arrival of the Battery for the Cape Fear Llgbt Artillery, Sec. The four guns for the Cape Fear Light Artillery arrived from New York yesterday morning, via the Atlantic Coast Line of railway. The carriages, caissons, &c, have not yet come to hand, but are expect ed every day. A letter from Adjutant-General Jones to Captain Flanner states that the guns were shipped from one foundry and the carriages from another. The guns are steel, rifled, of three-inch bore, weigh 816 pounds each, will carry a 12-pound solid shot or shrapnel, and are pronounced perfect beauties. By the way, the Cape Fear Artillery will celebrate Monday also, in connection with the Light Infantry, they having fixed upon the 20th of May, from its associations, as their anniversary day. It is hoped that the carriages will arrive in time to enable the company to use their new guns on that occasion. If they should not arrive before Monday morning, Captain Flanner informs us that they can be mounted in time for the celebration. magistrates Appointed. Mr, Heaton, Clerk of the Superior Court, has appointed Dr. W. W. Harriss and Col. E. D. Hall as Magistrates, to fill va cancies occasioned by the resignation of W. W. Humphreys, J. P., of Harnett Township, and Alex. Sampson, J. P., of Wilmington. Justices Harriss and Hall are now ready for business, the latter hav ing opened an office in the McRae build ing, opposite the Purcell House, while the former, we presume, will dispense justice in the office attached to his drug store, on Market, between Second and Third streets. Both of these gentlemen are among the newly appointed Magistrates, but whose regular terms do not commence until Au gust next, when all of the old Magistrates go out and the new ones come in. Nou-Conimissioned Officers, The non-commissioned officers appoint ed by Captain Flanner, of the Cape Fear Light Ariillery, are- as follows : 1st Sergeant James Corbett. 2d Sergeant Thomas Gray. 3d Sergeant E.

Tobacco manufactory. Mr. W. L. Meadows, of Henderson, N. C, has been here during the present week, prospecting for a building and site suitable for the establishment of a tobacco manu factory, which he is thinking of opening in Wilmington about the first of next Jan uary. The business for the first season will be only as an experiment, to test the adaptability of the climate, when, if he finds it favorable for the manufacture of the "weed," he will make his manufactory a permanent institution here. A monomaniac. Sarah McKenzie, the colored woman alluded to in our last as being confined in the guard house, and evidently suffering from some derangement of her mental fac ulties, has bees examined by a physician and pronounced a monomaniac, though on what particular subject he is unable to say. Upon the physician's recommendation she was taken from the guard house and sent to the county hospital for the insane, at the Poor House. 1 more Good Shooting. A. letter received in this city yesterday states that Mr. Isaac Ramsey, at Half Moon, Onslow county, during one hunt, on the last day of April, killed thirteen wild turkeys at three shots. At the first fire he killed three, at the second four, and at the third, six turkeys. This is considered hard to beat. Star MAY 19, 1877. OPERA HOrSK. Dramatic Entertainment by Amateur Performers from Smithville. The promised dramatic entertainment for the benefit of the families of the pilots of the Mary K. Sprunt, who lost their lives during the severe storm on our coast on the 13th of April last, while engaged in the dis charge of their perilous duties, took place at the Opera House last night in the pre sence of a very large audience, who were drawn together partly on account of the very favorable impressions that had pre ceded the appearance on our boards of the amateur dramatists of Smithville, under the direction of Col. Pennington, the gallant and generous-hearted commander of the garrison at Fort Johnson, and partly in con sideration of the very worthy object to which the proceeds of the entertainment were to be applied. ' And Well were they repaid for their at tendance. Judging the performance solely on its merits, without regard to the fact of the performers being amateurs, it was a splendid success, reflecting the greatest credit on all who took part, and especially upon the manager. In the opening piece, "A Cup of Tea," Misa French as Lady Clara Seymour, and Mr. White as Scroggins, were both very fine. Mr. White is certainly a genius, and seemed as much at home as if he' were a star in the profession instead of an amateur. His rendition of the song, "Man the life boat," was excellent. In the last piece,. "The two Bonny cas tles," our venerable friend, Dr. W. G. Cur tis,' surprised his many 'friends here, by his display of dramatic talent. Seriously, the Dr.'s rendition of Mr. Bonnycastle was capital. Mr. White as James Johnson was excellent. In fact, throughout the evening, in the several characters personated by this gentleman, his acting left nothing to be de sired. Miss Mixer made her first appearance in this piece, and we can but regret not seeing more of her really fine acting. . Miss French fully sustained her first ap pearance,and played Helen excellently. In truth, all the performers acquitted them selves handsomely, as their large audience frequently testified by prolonged applause On behalf of the audience we tender them our sincere thanks for a delightful evening. In the orchestra Mr. Edwin Thorpe, at the piano, the Italian Harpers, and the garrison Brass Band, entertained the audi ence between the pieces With delightful music. manufacturing Tobacco Without Li cense. The case of N. B. Taylor, of Robeson county, alluded to yesterday as having been re-arrested, after having given bond in the sum of $500 in a previous case, which was for peddling tobacco without a license, came up for a hearing before U. S. Commissioner VanAmringe yesterday morning, the charge in thisinstance being that of manufacturing tobacco without paying the necessary United States tax. He was ordered to give a justified bond in the sum of $250 for his appearance at the next term of the U. S. District Court, in default of which he was remanded to jail, from whencehehad been released on giving bond in the former case. The Comments. It was truly gratifying to hear the com ments of the audience at the close of the performance at the Opera House last even ing. "Oh ! isn't Miss French charming ?" "What a fine actor Miss Mixer is!" "How well Mr. White plays his part, and sings!' "Didn't Dr. Curtis surprise you?" "I'm so sorry Lieut. Rowan is sick!" "Mr, Seyton and Mr. Smith, in 'The two Gen tlemen at Mivarts' were perfect! " "Cto't the ladies and gentlemen be induced to re peat the entertainment? " These and many similar exclamations fell from the lips of one of the most de lighted audiences we have ever seen assem bled in Wilmington. RIVER AND MARINE ITEMS.

On yesterday, May 18th, at 11 o'clock, after the regular service and the sermon de livered by the Rabbi, Rev. S. Mendelsohn, who preached a fine sermon from the text, "Honor thy Father and thy Mother,?' we witnessed a confirmation. The names of the confirmed are as follows: Misses Ella Weill, Ella Fishblate, Miriam Greenwald, and Masters Sol Weill and Henry Newman. The confirmation exercises were opened with a prayer by Miss Ella Weill, in which she offered the homage of her young life to God, and besought Him in His mercy to guard the lives of her and her companions with the knowledge of His word. The pa thos and earnestness of her voice and man ner impressed her hearers with a mingled feeling of devotion and admiration. Her dress of pure white added to the innocence and loveliness of her face. Master Henry Newman then made an oration in a becoming and unembarrassed manner, after which Miss Miriam Green wald repeated a psalm in quite a pleasant style; then our little friend, Sol. Weill, made a speech in a manner and style pecu liarly his own, reflecting credit upon his teacher and honor to himself. The con firman ts then arranged themselves before the Ark, which was opened by Masters Newman and Weill, and all of them, as if in one voice, repeated the creed, the sub stance of which is the unity of God. The pastor then addressed them, beseeching them "to search their hearts, and if there be any impure motive, or any desire for show before such a large congregation, to pause and turn back." He then placed his hands upon the heads of each and blessed them, after which Miss Ella Fishblate, in a modest and retiring manner, made the closing prayer. We never witnessed an Israelitish con firmation before, and we were impressed with the manner of the rite. We noticed Mr. G. W. Jewett and several other teach ers out, who closed their schools' in order to witness the confirmation of their pupils. THE m AIJLS.

Fatal diseases muy be caused by allowing the bowels to become constipated and the system to remain in a disordered condition, un til the disorderhas time to develop itself. An ounce of prevention is werth a pound of cure, is an old and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troubled with the complaints now very preva lent headache, indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or feverish skin, to take, with ou t -delay , Schenck's MandrakePills . We know of no remedy so harmless and decisive in its action It at once strikes at the root of the disease and pro duces a healthy tone to the system. People never ueed suffer from any disease arising from a disor dered condition of the liver if theywoald take this excellent medicine when they feel the first indica tions of the malady. Families leaving home for the summer months should tske three or four boxes, of these pills with them. They have an almost instan taneous effect. They will relieve the patient of headache in one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and will effec tually prevent a billions attack.
