We learn from telegrams received hero to-day that the Raleigh & Au gusta Air Line people have been en deavoring to manufacture publia sen timent by getting up meetings at dif ferent pointB in favor of the proposed extension to Charlotte. They have made a signal failure almost every where except at Mount - Pleasant, in Cabarrus county, at Raleigh and at Charlotte. - I ' ' The people of North Carolina are agaiust this scheme , of the railroad jobbers by not less than fifty thou sand majority, and the almost unani mous sentiment of three-fourths of tbe counties is against this attempted blow at the vital interests of the people at large. ! Let not the Legislature - be misled by the. Chinese gongs of Little Am bition and its cohorts. It is a thin device. Immense meetings could be bad on three days' notice in over fifty counties against this scheme of the gentlemen from over the border. The passage of the bill for the ex tension of the Raleigh & Augusta Air-Line to Charlotte will confer a doubtful benefit npon possibly four counties. It will inflict, great injury, upon the people of a vast and. pro ductive territory, will cripple the State's interest in tbe North Carolina Railroad, and prostrate' thecommerce of the city of Wilmington will profit by the great crime? -Who Rail- road jobbers. Thtf people of North Carolina have an abiding faith in the patriotism of the Legislature. Its members are North Carolinians and will not allow this wrong. "It is stated that Gen. Early will be urged to write 'Virginia's Part in tbe Late War,' in connection with Prof. Conrad's 'History of Virginia for the Use of Schools and Colleges.' Richmond Whig, i North Carolina needs just such his tories. After a while there will be some contributions of the kind that may prove valuable. ; Our generals who survive ', have done nothing to wards perpetuating a record of the deeds of their brave men who fought under them.

'I lie Bladen Fire. On the night of Thursday, the 23d ult., the barn of J. F. Anders, who resides near Beatty'a Bridge, with all its contents, was totally destroyed by fire. Before the family retired that night, about 11 o'clock, a tho rough examination of the premises was made and everything found to be in a safe condition, but within an hour afterwards the alarm was given, and they were aroused to find that the torch had been so fiendish ly and effectually applied that the roof had been burned sufficiently to fall in, thus rendering it impossible to save the products stored in the barn. In fact it was with the utmost difficulty that a number of horses and mules, in the adjacent stables, could be rescued. This incendiary work entails a severe loss on the owner, estima ted at eight hundred dollars, as all Mr. An ders' corn, peas and forage, with a large portion of his agricultural implements, were stored in the building. There was no insu rance on the property destroyed. B'rial B'rltb. T " Mr. J. I. Macks, the representative of the order of B'nalB'hth in this city at the late General Convention in Philadelphia, returned last Saturday. His account of the session of that body coincides with that by telegraph. The session was harmonious, and the statistics gathered and submitted to that body show the local and general organizations to be in a healthy condition, both as to membership and finances. We cannot forbear to mention the fact that from the beginning of 1874 to the close of 1878, the expenditures" for the support of the sick, needy, and widows and orphans, amounted to $1,007,039 11. This vast amount, exhausted in behalf of such noble objects, carries with it the highest avouch meat of the practical benefits of B'nai B'rHh. .' : . Good Appointment. "J- On Saturday last Ue Governor appoint ed CoL Henry B'. . Short, of Columbus, to superintend the construction of the Insane' Asylum for colored people at Goldsboro. He is appointed in the place of O. G. Pars ley, Jr., Esq., of this city, who resigned, and we predict that the successor of our townsman will discharge the duties im posed upon him with marked fidelity. The long and Short of the- matter isi he has never had a public ' trnst.- confided; to him without acknowledging thefepmpliment byj a display of both competency and integrity mayor's Court. . .

Jacob Thompson waltzed into court yes-r terdajr morning to the tune of disorderly conduct, but at his request the case was continued until this mornings. :. v James Anderson, colored, charged with attempting o enter a dwelling house un lawfully in the night timewas required to feive a fu3tified bond in the snmof $100 for his appearance at , tbe . next term of ; the Criminal Court " -' . . ' - annday Morning's Fire. The fire of Sunday' "morning, between four a;-u five o'clock, was a somewhat seri pus affair. It originated in. the store of Mr. J W. Moody, on the corner of Fourth and Brunswick streets, and is believed by some persons to hav: been - produced by the explosion of a kerosene lamp.' Certain it is that the flames bad .made : such . head way, when first discovered, as to barely give time for the escape of Mr. Moody's family, who lived in the dwelling attached to tbe store, which was rapidly consumed. From. Ibis point the fire soon spread to an adjoining tenement, occupied . by C. H, Strode, then to the Brooklyn Market House, all of which were in turn consumed. The fire companies were promptly at tbe scene of danger, but could do no more than pre vent the destruction of a building owned by Allen Evans and one eaBt of Strode's residence. The exact lass and amount of insurance ia probably not known. a yet. The 'pro perty of Allen Evans can certainly be re stored by an outlay of $50 or $60. The Matket House is a total loss to the- city. It Appears that Mr. Christian Hussell loses heavily, as he was the owner of the . burnt hous.es. It is believed he was insured to the extent of about $2,300, while the Moody stock of goods is reported to have been in sured for nearly $1,800. The latter gentle man also had some insurance on house hold and kitchen furniture, &c. To-day, after more thorough examina tion, accurate figures may be obtained as to tbe actual losses of the sufferers. But whether greater or smaller" than present estimates, it is evident that the city is sadly in need of some system by which acci dental fires may be discovered much earlier than has recently been' done. Our firemen are efficient and move rapidly on occasion, but this is not enough. Something else is needed so that they may be aroused in time to make their services of use. " ' We had almost forgotten to mention that Mr. D. C.Davis, who occupied a place in the Brooklyn Market House for the sale of meals and vegetables, lost fifteen or twenty dollars worth of stock. Meteorological Keport for January, 1879. From Sergeant James M.

Tne Fire Department. The First Ward Bucket Company were out on monthly parade yesterday, and we are reliably, in formed that they made a run of two hundred yards, and pitched their ladders on the Carolina Central Railway warehouse, in two andxa half minutes, be ing in all respects readyf or action. This was a very creditable performance. - The Cape Fear Steam Fire Engine Com pany were ialso out experimenting with theirapparatus, and the performances were of a very satisfactory character. In this connection we may say that the whole Fire Department,, under the man agement of its present efficient Chief and the corps of officers, will contrast favora bly with that of any otherjjeity in the Uni- teds tates. Tnis is tne trutn unvarnisnea. Oeatb of a Prominent Young Man. We regret to hear of the death of Mr. Edward D. Scbriver, a young man of much promise, at Castle Hayne, yesterday morn ing. He was very largely beloved and re spected in the' neighborhood where he re sided, having filled the position of post master, ticket agent for the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, , judge of election, and other local .trusts. It was only a few months since that he celebrated , his 23d birthday. Harbor' master's Beport. " From Capt.

Mls A dab BlchmoDd. : Lecocq's popular opera bouffe, "Gu-cfle uirona, was presented at the Opera House last night, to a large audience, by Miss Adah Richmond in the titular part. supported by an excellent company, an especial feature of whieh is a full and well traioed cborus.i Miss Richmond's talent asjan actress,her rare vocal powers, and her beautiful face and " figure, particularly fit her for a successful opera bouffe artiste, and rendered her personation of "Girofle- Girofla" most charming. Her tastef ul and elegant costumes were noticeable and ex ceedingly becoming! : " ' Of the Company, Mr. Hamilton, as Moursook, was undoubtedly the favorite of the audience, as he richly deserved to be, since ; he possesses superior ' ability' as an actor and a splendid baritone , voice which he used to; excellent advantage always. Miss Jeannie Winston sustained the charac ter of Maritqum with exceeding cleverness throughout,' both in her acting and singing, and Mr, Bell proved himself an excelled actor by the quiet but effective humor of his Boiero. Mr. Morgan as Pedro, Miss Cbappelle as Paquita, and Miss Sylvia as Aurore were very, satisfactory, and de served to bef mention. The singing of the Orpheus Quartette was enthusiastically re ceived, highly appreciated and loudly ap plauded.: . Miss Richmond's rendition of the drinking soog, and the singing of the trio in the third act by GirqfleQirofla, Ma rasquin and Moureook, were each loudly en cored.. The company is exceedingly large for a travelling party, and are well fitted for the work they profess to do. The "Chimes of Normandy" has been substituted by request for "La Grande Duchess," and will be presented to-night, at which time the Orpheus Quartette, as sisted by Miss' Richmond as soprano, will sing, "(irandiatner's Ulocs," aud they are said to render it delightfully.

It was ordered that the Sheriff be in structed to refund the privilege tax col lected by him for the county of New Han over, from the 1st day of January up to date, and that no further like tax shall be collected by him for the year 1879. . On motion, the Board adjourned to meet on the afternoon of the third' Monday in this month (February 17th), at half-past 2 o'c!6ck. ' . Prowlers Pistols and Ball Dogs. " The evidence elicited during the examir. nation of the case of James Anderson, colored at th'Mayor's Court yesterday, serves to adorn a recommendation. It is ind isputable that the accused w as found on the porch of Mr. tWilliam A. Willson's house, on the south .side of Nutt, between Fourth and Fifth streetB, and in his stock ing feet. Robbery, and perhaps incendiar ism,: was the purpose.
