The Washington. Star s&js Arthur
will nominate Gen. Fitz John Porter
as Colonel in the regular army. The
Sarsays:
The decision of the advisory board that
Gen. Porter was not only unjustly dealt
with, but that if it had not been for him
there would - have been a great tlisaster to
the Union army, has had great weight with
the President and his Cabinet.' The ques
tion of the date of bis being mustered out
as a Major General of volunteers will be
settled by the decision of the Attorney
General. It is estimated that when con
firmed by the Senate as a Colonel of the
regular army, that Gen. Porter will be en
titled to about $115,000 back pay.; When
Gen. Porter was cashiered he was forever
disqualified from holding any office of pub
lic trust or profit. The nomination of Gen.
Porter to be a Colonel of Infantry, which
will be made without a doubt, will carry
with it a pardon when it is confirmed
from all disabilities imposed by the verdict
of the original court in his case."
Vermont passed a very severe law
to compel people to list their proper
ty at an honest valuation. The re
sult is that in one-year the valuation
was raised from $100,000,000 to
$163,000,000. North Carolina needs
just such a law. Whenever proper
ty, real and personal, and merchan
dise sales, are taxed fairly and fully
in North Carolina, there will be no
need of repudiation, and the common
school fund can be increased by
three or four hundred thousand dol
lars. So Lord Roscoe is to be Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, in place of Judge
Hunt, displaced. Every one of the
206, not in the penitentiary, will
share sooner or later in "the lottery
of assassination," as Judge Edmunds
phrased it indiscreetly and mali
ciously. Roscoe will be an imposing
looking Justice, although not one of
the most learned. Next.

The Kinston Journal copies
what the Stab said of Cook's brigade, and
then says the 15th, McRae's old regiment,
and 27th, Cook's old regiment, were the
two best drilled regiments in Hill's Corps,
or perhaps in Lee's army. They once
drilled against each other. Col. R. C. Hill,
of the 48th, an old army officer, was to de
cide the contest The 27th was handled by
Col. Whitfield, the .15th by Col. McRae.
Col. Hill's decision was just what the most
of ns expected: "The 27th the best on the
manual, the 15th the best on the revolu
tions." In 1865 a South Carolina regiment
challenged the two regiments for a drill.
On the day selected General"Cook took the
15th and 27th regiments out, and, in the
presence of Gen. Lee and Several Corps and
Division - commanders' actually made the
South Carolinians ashamed of themselves.

Raleigh Farmer and Mechanic:
Strange to say, we for the first time yester
day learned that Judge Thomas S. Ashe, of
the Supreme Court, was once elected as
Senator from North Carolina. It was in
1864. He was' nominated without his
knowledge and elected by a considerable
majority over Edwin G. Reade. Before the
time for him to take his seat arrived, the
Confederate Congress took down its hat,
and silently scattered across the Appomat
tox into the domain of History. Bishop
Northrop is visiting (and preaching at) New
Berne, which was his first parish in North
Carolina, just after the war. It was a num
ber of old New Berne friends, in Baltimore,
(members of Judge Manly's family in par
ticular), who prepared and presented to
him the beautiful jewelled cross and chain
worn by the Bishop on the occasion of his
consecration. The cross is composed of
North Carolina gold, richly set with gems
from our State mines; and was much ad
mired for its beauty and appropriateness.
North Carolina is likely to' be the great
vintage State of the Atlantic coast The
vine nourishes everywhere through its
length and breadth, growing with especial
luxuriance in every forest of the State.
Since the war, nundreds of vineyards nave
been planted; these are mostly small, but
there are six, each of a hundred acres or
more, where wine making is carried on,
aided by the best experience and skill that
could be found in Europe. The products
of some of these vineyards made an inte
resting feature of the State exhibit at the
srreat Atlanta .Exposition. Farmer, xotk,
Pa. S. R. Hunt & Co. are getting orders

Worms in the Xnrpentip Trees Re
collections of '49.
A late number of i;he Hinesville (Ga.)
Gazette says: "Some of our turpentine men
are in great distress. Worms are appear
ing in tie trees recently boxed, and decay
soon follows.bf course the supply of gum
is scanty, and it is filled with the dust of
the bark and thereby injured. It is sup
posed that these worms get in the green
timber from the dead trees - prostrated by
the storm, for the greatest havoc caused by
them is in those parts adjacent to the old
farms where the 'storm logs are so abun
dant."
The winter of 1849 was generally mild
and open, and as spring approached it be
came evident that a bug Lad attacked the
pine trees in all this section. The noise
made by them in their depredations was
perceptible to any one passing through the
woods. The trees commenced to die rap
idly, and but for a providential extremely
cold snap in April of that year (on the 15th
of which month it will be recollected there
was a heavy fall of snow), in all probability
the entire pine forests would have been
more or less affected by them and possibly
killed. As it proved, however, the cold
snap put an end to the ravages of the bug.
In succeeding years the effect of this bug
attack was noticeable in the broad acres of
dead timber which were to be found in
many sections of our pine country.
This same bug has now made its appear
ance in Georgia and portions of South
Carolina, and if not killed off by a similar
cold snap as that which so opportunely in
tervened in 1849, as we now have reason to
hope they will be, may doncalculable dam
age. Those familiar with and who recol
lect the visit of the bugs in 1849 say they
were a very small, hard-shelled, black bug,
that bored into and sapped the life of the
tree, when it withered and died m A worm
knpwn as the sawyer then followed in the
track of the bug, and it was this that made
the noise referred to, which resembled some
what the sound of a small saw in use. -

Alarms of Fire Yesterday.
The alarm of fire yesterday morning,
about half -past 8 o'clock, was caused by the
burning of a hole in the roof of one of the
still-sheds of Messrs. Hall & Morton's dis
tilleries. Men mounted the roof and ex
tinguished the flames before the engines ar
rived. The alarm was telephoned from the
City Hall, and the fire department was
promptly out.
Fire No. 2 occurred about 12 o'clock,
the roof of the dwelling house of Mr. E.
D. Hewlett, on Seventh aad Queen streets,
having been discovered in a blaze. Some
of the neighbors quickly mounted the roof
and succeeded in nipping the conflagration
in the bud, the only damage being a hole of
not very large dimensions. There was no
general alarm this time.
The next alarm (No. 8) was sounded
about a quarter to 2 o'clock, but the fire
which caused it wasn't much. It seems
that a minature conflagration started in
a house in the neighborhood of Tenth and
Princess streets, and some one rushed into
the street and yelled "fire I" but those who
remained behind had the flames under con
trol before the person could return.
The fire department was out, the engines
having reached the neighborhood of Eighth
and Market street, when word came that
their services were not needed.
Wilmington Library Association.
A meeting of the Directors and members
of the Library Association was held at the
Library Room last night.
The meeting was called to order by the
President, Alex. Sprunt, Esq., who re
viewed the history of the Association, and

Col. Smith moved that an advisory com
mittee of four, with the President as Chair
man ex officio, be appointed to solicit mem
bers to a Literary Society, to be organized

son and Messrs. Herbert Smith, Iredell
Meares, and Walter Rutland.
This committee was instructed to draw
up a Constitution and By-Laws and report
at a general meeting, which is called for
Friday evening next.
All persons joining this Society at that
meeting will be allowed the privDeges of
the Library Association free of the initia
