FROM WASHINGTON.
The Sooib Under Surveillance.
Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, May 27.
The pious Radical politicians of the
North are just now exercising a very
strict surveillance over the condition
of society jn the South. The most
hideous crimes may be committed in
the North, and the only comment is
upon the depravity of the individuals
who commit them. But a crime of
whatever degree committed in the
South is immediately pointed to ae an
evidence of the character of the
whole people of that Motion, their
hatred of the Union and their in
capacity for self-government.
The murder of one man in Missis
sippi is made the pretext for a de
mand that the Federal government
shall interfere. So much outcry has
been raised over this matter that it is
said Mr. Evarts will, in the name of
the President, write a protest to the
Governor of Mississippi because he
has not brought the murderers to jus
tice. No decent man will attempt to
excuse the murder of Chisolm, des
perate character though he was. But
the murder of Chisolm was innocence
itself as compared to the fiendish at
tempt to murder by poison sixty mi
ners at Streator, Illinois, yet the Go
vernor of Illinois has taken no steps
in the matter, and there is no talk of
Mr. Evarts writing a letter to him to
remind him of his duty.
A BUTLER COLONY IN COLORADO.
Gen. Benjamin Butler is about to
buy a large tract of grazing lands in
Colorado, comprising some 70,000
acres. He is going to put his worthy
son-in-law, Aimes, on it, and also pro
poses to take out and settle on it
whites from New England and
Iflaeks from the South. The next

Governor of Colorado and himself
for the Senate.
SENATOR SPENCER IN THE BLACK

Morion' Letter-Whai the Press Say
. N. Y. Herald, Ind.j
Ho thinks it prudent, and perhaps
pccessary as well, to raise, so early as
this, the warning cry of a " solid
South" and of " Southern domina
tion'.' His fierce and almost ferocious
denunciation of the Southern whites,
and his dolorous and, we must add,
absurd prophecies that unless thereys
a f. solid North" the Southern leaders
will, some day repeal. the Constitu
tional amendments, extort pay for
their slaves, and pay , the rebel war
debt, are really a confession that Mr.
Morton sees his own party going to
pieces and seeks to hold them together
by a danger signal. There a some
thing of the uureasouable and un
reasoning haste of a panic in all this
tirade of his.
Philadelphia Times, Ind.
His letter on the Southern question
just given to the public is one of the
most studied aud subtle assaults upon
the policy of the President that has
yet been made since Ben Wade's rode
attack upon him. It is unworthy of
a statesman, inasmuch as it is uncan
did and cowardly, and hurls the dead
liest blows while professing sympa
thy and even passive assent to what
the President has done.
New York World, Dem.
Senator Morton has written a very
long letter about the administration.
He might have written a very short
one and conveyed the same informa
tion, namely: that the arrangements
for the distribution of patronage and
the reform of the civil service in In
diana met his personal views.
A. Novel Case.
We gave a brief statement yester
day of the killing of Nathan C. Clay
land, at Charlotte, by ames P. Wil
sou, in August, 1854, and how the
latter had just voluntarily surrender
ed himself. He has just been tried
at Charlotte, fouud guilty of man
slaughter, and sentenced to five
years in the county jail. The Char
lotte Observer contains a report of
the trial. We copy a part:
He was arraigned according to the
usual form of law. The bill of in
dictment set forth that James P.
Wilson had, on the 14th day of Au
gust, wilfully killed Nathan Clay
land by shooting him with a pistol.
During the reading of this the ut
most silence pervaded the whole
room, notwithstanding that it was
filled to its utmost capacity.
Solicitor Montgomery, on the part
of the State, informed the Court that
when he first knew of the intention of
Mr. Wilson to surrender himself for
trial, he went to the friends of Na
than Clayland and of his family, and
stated the fact to them, and further
informed them that if they would aid
him in procuring the witnesses, he
would prosecute the case to the best
of his ability, as required by law. He
found no. one disposed to prosecute
the defendant. It was a rather re
markable fact that all the eye-witnesses
to the killing were now dead.
He, however, had two witnesses who
knew something of the occurrence.
James Fox, colored, and James
Alexander were then sworn. The
former was put upon the stand and
testified that he saw the deceased and
the prisoner enter the room of Wm.
Quinn, (the store on Trade street now
occupied by Nisbet & Bro.), and in a
short time thereafter heard the re
pojft of a pistol. He next saw the
prisoner come oui, get u w uurae
and ride orr.
James Alexander testified that he
was with the deceased during his last
illness. He had heard him say that
the prisoner shot him, and that he
did not wish him prosecuted tor it.
He was defended by Col. H. C.
Jones -and Gen. Rufus Barringer.
Mr. Wilson returns to his home
shattered in mind and body, but with
the sympathy of the entire commu
nity. He has led a temperate and
industrious life. He fought through
the whole war in a Texas regiment,
and distinguished himself on many
fields of battle. For deeds of bravery
he was raised from a private to the
captaincy of a company, and received
other marks of favor from his com
manders. He is now forty years of
age.

A Deadly Assault. .
W. H. Howe, formerly on the police
force, was the victim of a deadly assault
on Monday night from some parties un
known. It seems that be had been re
quested to look after and take charge of the
personal effects of Edward Joyner, in jail
on the charge of larceny, at his house on
Nixon, between Sixth and Seventh streets,
and remained in. the building during the
night. About 11 o'clock, as far as can be
ascertained, four polored men entered the
house and made the assault upon Howe,
beating him severely about the head, mak
ing two deep and ugly gashes in the fore
head, apparently with a bottle, and leaving
him in almost a dying condition, though
he was subsequently assisted to his home.
A woman by tbe name of Frank Hargrove,
who was in the house at the time, was un
able, or professed herself unable, to give
any satisfactory account of the affair, and
the injured man himself is ineapable, from
the severity of the wounds received, of
furnishing any information on thesubject.
Upon the strength Of certain threats made,
however, three colored men, W. P.
Cromady, John Toomer and Adam Chavers,
were arrested yesterday on suspicion and
put under bonds for their appearance be
fore Justice W. H. Moore on Friday next,
to answer to the charge of committing the
assault, while a warrant is out for the arrest
of another who is suspicioned of being im
plicated in the affair. These men declare,
however, that they can prove that they
were elsewhere at the time the assault was
committed.
At last accounts Howe was considered to
be in a critical condition. It is also said
that the woman received a pretty severe
wound on the head.
Since the above was written Toomer and
Chavers, whose bonds were fixed at $300
each, justified, being unable to furnish
the same, have been lodged in jail.
Connty commissioners' meeting.
A special meeting of the Board of County

The assessment was made and adopted,
and the Clerk was instructed to furnish

"Got FurtUer."
On Saturday last a colored prisoner was
taken from Burgaw to South Washington,
Pender county, and locked up in a room
in the second story of the Court House,
the further precaution being taken to
place hand-cuffs upon him and chain him
to a desk, in order to leave, as it was
thought, no opportunity for him to escape.
He remained thus confined during Satur
day night and Sunday, it being tbe inten
tion to send him to this city on Monday
morning's train. 'That morning, however,
when the officer went to look for bis pris
oner he had disappeared, having broken
tbe chain and wrenched one of the band
cuffs lose, and then let himself out of the
upper window and escaped, with the other
handcuff still attached to his wrist. Up to
last accounts the slippery darkey had not
been recaptured.
Keligious.
The sermon of Rev. E. F. Marable, at
the Presbyterian church on Sunday morn
ing, was a forceful, logically arranged and
impressive discourse, based on the words of
our Saviour, "My yoke is easy and my bur
den is light" The leading idea of the ser
mon was that the propagation of Christi
anity had been retarded more by the false
teachings and impure lives of Christian
teachers and professors than by infidel as
saults and pantheistic and materialistic phi
losophy. The sermon was decidedly
thoughf ul, and evinced careful preparation.
I the disewttkm of his second
we thought he would ran counter to the
wise teachings of Bunyan's immortal alle
gory, but he avoided tbe collision to a great
extent as he approached the close.
New Equipments,;
Capt. Gordon, of the Whiting Rifles, re
ceived from the Adjutant General, yester
day, a new stand of arms for his company,
and a complete set of accoutrements. The
new arms, which are sent ia exchange for
the ones previously forwarded, are of the
Springfield pattern, much lighter than tbe
others and consequently better adapted to
the use of the young men composing the
company, while tbe barrels, bayonets, &c,
are bronzed, thus doing away with the ne
cessity of keeping them "brightened up."
The company were to meet at their armory
last night to receive their new arms and
accoutrements. And now for tbe uniforms!
The arms previously forwarded are, we
understand, to be sent to the Washington
Light Infantry.
Lectures on Temperance,
Theodore N. Ramsay, Esq., Grand Wor
thy Chief Templar of North Carolina, will
deliver a lecture on the subiect of temper
ance, at Temperance Hall, this evening.
Mr. Ramsay has achieved a reputation sec
ond to but few as a temperance advocate,
and cannot fail to enlist the sympathy and
interest of his hearers. The public gene
rally, and especially the friends of the
cause, are cordially invited to be present.
To-morrow night Mr. Ramsay will de
liver a lecture at Brooklyn Hall, after
which be will proceed to institute a new
Lodge of the order of Good Templars for
this city.
On Friday night he will lecture in Smith'!
ville. -
A small Fire.
Yesterday afternoon, between 8 and 4
o'clock, the roof of a house on Campbell,
between Third and Fourth streets, was dis
covered to be on fire. There was no bell in
tbe immediate vicinity, and no alarm was
sounded, but the cry of fire was raised, and
a number of railroad hands rushed to the
rescue, and finally succeeded, by tbe use of
buckets and plenty of water, in extinguish
ing the flames, but not until a good portion
of the roof had been consumed. The fire
originated from a spark from the chimney.
The house was occupied by colored people.

Mr. Editor: I am truly glad to see your
"Local" of to-day, relative to the above
organization. It is a move in the right di
rection, and I had been intending to write
a similar notice of this company for some
time past, and urge the good people of
Wilmington to come up nobly to the aid of
this company, and help to uniform them.
They have fine material in this company,
and with a membership now on their roll
of about fifty; but they want solid, substan
tial aid from our citizens. Do not let it
be said of Wilmington that she is behind
hand in the matter of uniforming this com
pany. I would suggest that the ladies in
terest themselves in behalf of the Whiting
Rifles, and start the ball by taking a list to
the citizens, and asking the aid needed to
equip the company. I do hope that steps
will at once be taken by our married ladies
as well as tbe single ones, to accomplish
this most desirable purpose. The Whiting
Rifles will undoubtedly prove themselves
worthy of the; illustrious name they bear,
and an ornament to our city.

THE DtiTT OF WOMAN.-To be attractive is
a duty which every lady owes to herself, to her do
mestic circle, and to society. Not only should she
endeavor to please In address and in apparel, but,
whenever possible, in complexion and in feature as
well. Facial embellishment is to a lady as proper,
and oftentimes as necessary, aa are the adornments
Of her raiment, the artificial graces of her conver
sation, of her demeanor, or other meretricious at
tractions upon which depend so much of her do
minion and Influence over man. The woman who
permits herself to become unlovely, who resigns
herself hopelessly to the ravages of time, and the
spoliation of her charms, visits upon her friends and
admirers a sorrowful regret, that it becomes her to
avert to the latest day. Of this social duty it may
truthfully be said that she can best acquit herself
by the use of Gouraud's Olympian Cream. No oth
er preparation approaches this in excellence, in
harmlessness and purity, or compares with it in the
number of spontaneous testimonials that its virtues
have elicited. Its advertisement has hitherto been
its merit, its recommendation by all that have used
it, and not by sounding and pretentious advertising
in the journals of the day. Trial bottles 25 cents!
