As the second section of the train passed the depot at that place it was attacked by a great mob, armed with js tones arid pieces' of metal, which were thrown at the windows of the cars: with telling effect. Volley af ter volley was poured into the train crashing trams and injuring a num ber of soldiers.

' The engineer and fireman were un der !a strong guard of soldiers, in structed to shoot them if they failed in their duty, and they at once re versed the engine. In all probability '4.h is saved the lives of half the per sons on board the trains, as a switch had been misplaced and a car heavily laden with lire-jbrick placed on the .switch for "fast approaching trains to run into and bo thrown over the em bankment. When the train struck fthe switch its speed bad been greatly aiaekeaed.

' '--J This really magnificent piece of art was exhibited at the Opera House, on Morfday night, to an audience which at once bore direct and positive evidence of the tho rough and heartfelt appreciation which a Wilmington public can and will always ac cord to art and skill when deserving of its approbation and applause. The assemblage was large and select, and the splendid suc cess of the entertainment should, in some measure, .be a gratifying reward to the art ist for the many tedious hours he has, no doubt, toiled through the two long years occupied in the preparation of his beauti-. ful "War on the ; Wave." The panorama consists of fifty paintings, each 8x12 feet in size. This number' is sub divided into three 8e'ries,in!the first of which is faithfully depicted the terrors and ex citements of running the' blockade, during the late civil war, between the ports of the Southern Confederacy and Nassau, or New Providence, one of the Bahama Islands, and Havana, Cuba, together with most life like representations of scenes in the two latter cities during the stirring times of war. All the most celebrated of the blockade running fleet that crowded at the Wilming ton wharves stood out on the canvas as many of our citizens recollected them in war times. : There were . represented stirring scenes of the chase, capture -or burning of well known blockade runners. "Throwing cot- ion 'overboard from blockade runners," "Capt. Moffitt's successful run through the Federal fleet." "The steamer Eansa in a gale," and many others of this character, each new painting, of these exciting epi-f sodes in the life of a blockade runner being greeted with, renewed applause by the de lighted audience The depicting of sea, and sky, and, a storm on the briny deep, perhaps, in the fresh and fervid representa tions of scenes in the tropics, their wild and peculiar vegetation and characteristic appearance, when the "blending of colors was so magniflcant, that the eye. was most pleased. -; , r The second and third series consisted of an allegorical representation of the ! intro duction of yellow fever into Wilmington in 1862 by the blockadeirunner Kate, and the bombardment and fall of Fort Fisher. The allegorical painting did j ustice to Mr. Burr's appreciation of the true application of alle gory, as well as his -amn as an artist. The bombardment and fall of ' Fort Fisher, which was: represented by some most skillfully executed paintings perfectly true to life recalled to the mind of many a battle scarred veteran the "lime that! tried men's souls. y v In a word we might go on with our; rather imperfect sketch of. the Oceanicon and not do full justice toj it. It was all that was expected and considerably more, and Mr. Burr has every reason to feel proud of the , accomplishments of so grand a piece of art. v ; Mr. W. L. Harlow was the lecturer and "very creditably" performed his part, adding considerably to the evening's entertainment' by .his clear and lucid explanations , of the yarious paintings.
