Tourgee was sharply criticised be
cause he wrote a poem for Confede
rate Memorial Day and published it
in Ms paper. He grows saucy and
defiant, and strikes back in the fol
lowing manly way. Referring to
himself he says:
"He saw the war from the inside; was a
private soldier in the Federal army at the
outset ; was several months in Confederate
prisons, and still bears the unpleasant re
minders of a service which was earnest if
insignificant. For fourteen vears after its-
"Close he lived among those whose best sen
timent tne poem is intended to reflect. He
may be entirely wrong, but he has an in
tense pride, as an American, in the achieve
ments of those men, has a profound pity
for any ex-Confederate who cannot indorse
the sentiments of the poem and an unfa
thomable contempt for any man who
would have them feel otherwise. "
Senator Hampton has written a
letter to the Charleston Nisws and
Courier, in which he says he is anx
ious to retire from public life. He
says an Independent (Liberal) is
worse than a Radical, and so he is,

generally for pay. Senator Hamp

is nearly as great as it was in 1876.
He urges the people to stand firm
and be united.
Representative Brown,of Ind.,says

Charlotte Observer: A Little negro
bov, aged about fifteen years, was yester
day lodged in jail at Concord, on the
charge of trying to poison the family of Mr.
Jacob Stirewalt, at Mill Hill, in Cabarrus
county. Nothing has been heard as
yet in regard to the sale of the Richmond &
Danville road to the Baltimore & Ohio
road, and the rumor is generally regarded
as somewhat doubtful. There has, or will
be, a change Of stocky but it is not likely
that it will be sufficiently large as to affect
the ownership of the Richmond & Dan
ville railroad. Saturday night about
12 o'clock, George Dean, a colored man
who lives on Seventh street, came up town
and surrendered himself to Policeman Ir
win, explaining that he had just killed a
negro woman. The officer took him in cus
tody and on the way to the guard
house Dean stated that a short time
previous some one commenced a bom
bardment of his house with rocks, and after
it bad continued for some time he picked
up an old musket and went out to stop it.
He saw a negro woman in the yard and af
ter some hard words between them, the wo
man started off. When she had gone about
ten steps Dean raised his musket and fired.
She dropped to the ground without uttering
a word, and supposing that he had killed
her Dean came up town and surrendered
himself. The woman is alive but is probably
mortally wounded. A telegram was
received by the relatives of Miss Mary Ran
kin in this city yesterday afternoon, an
nouncing her death at Marion, whither she
had gone, in the hope of benefiting her
health.

WILMINGTON,
for Senator from the Jones county Demo
cratic Convenrlon on Saturday. We
learn that a serious affray occurred at' Tren
ton last Saturday between Mr. George H.
McDaniel and J. M, Pollock. It is said
they were in a controversy about prohibi
tion both ante when'Mr. McDaniel drew
his knife and stabbed Mr. Pollock in the
neck, inflicting a serious wound. Capt.
Page had a conference with Mr. Best on
Monday in reference to the railroad run
ning from Core Creek to Trenton and on
through Onslow. Mr. Best accepts the
propositions offered and will construct the
railroads if Jones and Onslow will give
bonds for $25,000 each, to run twenty years,
and not to be delivered until rail
road is completed. The construction
corps can be ready for work in 80 days.
We learn that Mr. E. R. Stanly has
sold most of his stock about 400 shares
in the A. & N. C. Railroad to Mr. Best at
$13 a share. If a fight is made to oust the
Midland at the stockhers meeting we pre
dict that Mr. Best will hold the winning
cards. A large whale came in Brown's
Inlet this week and was caught by Capt.
Joe Bell and son, with the help of Mr. L.
Fulcher and one or two others. - Maj.
A. R Dennison, the proprietor of the oil
mill in this city, has ordered a barrel of the
refined oil and pronounces it a complete
success. In order to thoroughly test its
qualities he had it used in his family for a
week without their knowledge and no one
detected it. He thinks it is more wholesome
than hog's lard. The Major intends estab
lishing a refinery in this city at an early day.
On Thursday last two colored boys,
Charles Whitfield and Ruflln Smith, living
on Col. J. N? Whitford's plantation, en
gaged in a fight with hoes, when Charles
inflicted a blow upon Ruffin's head which
caused his death on Saturday evening.
Charles is still at large. He is a dark,
smooth skin negro, about five feet eight or
ten inches high, walks a little knock-kneed,
has black eyes, wears a No. 9 shoe, is
twenty-four years old and weighs about
150 pounds.

The little son of Mr. George W. Corbett,
of Collie Creek, Pender county, referred to
in Tuesday's paper as having mysteriously
disappeared on Saturday afternoon last,
while on a fishing expedition with his
mother and little brother, had not been
found up to the time the steamer John
Dawson left Point Caswell yesterday morn
ing. The search for the little fellow, how
ever, still continues, from one hundred and
fifty to four hundred persons being out
every day, scouring the woods and swamps
for miles, dragging the creek, etc In the
meantime the family of the missing child,
who has so unaccountably disappeared, are
in great distress, as may well be supposed.
Oak Grove Cemetery.
The fence around Oak Grove Cemetery,

the enclosure is one which does credit to all
concerned in having done and properly
done this much needed work.

A Narrow Escape from a Eire.
The residence on the northeast corner of
Second and Mulberry streets, occupied
jointlyby Messrs. J. L. Breckinridge and
A. S. Winstead, was the scene of a nar
row escape from a fire yesterday morning.
It seems that the nurse employed by Mr.
Breckinridge had occasion to get up for
some purpose about half past 12 o'clock,
Mrs, B. being indisposed, when she dis
covered the rooms filled with smoke, and
traced the fire to the basement. The family
were aroused and upon opening the base
ment door i was found that a fire had by
some means got started and was blazing
away in e:ood earnest. Fortunately a
pump was near at hand and by
the prompt application of plenty of
water the fire was soon extinguished.
Quite a large hole had been burned in the
floor and the wall of the basement on one
side was pretty badly charred. In five
minutes more it is thought the fire would
have been beyond control, and, undis
covered, might have resulted very disas
trously. As it was, Mr. Breckinridge's in
fant child was so nearly suffocated that it
had to be taken out immediately into the
fresh air.
It is supposed that the fire originated
from a box in which the servant, contrary
to orders, had been depositing ashes, though
she said she had not emptied any in the box
for two or three days. There was no
alarm.

A native of Bohemia, and his lit;

an opportunity to reach Fayetteville,

They left home, in the old country, in re
sponse to a letter from the son in Texas,
and upon arriving at New York, were sent
on, by mistake, to Fayetteville, in this State,
instead of to Fayetteville, Texas. Upon .
arriving at Fayetteville, N. C, they found
out their mistake, and now they find them
selves here without money, having exhaust
ed the supply necessary to take them di
rect to their destination, and now find, too,
that it will cost them a great deal more to
go from here to their new home than it
would have cost them from New York.

An Instance of True Brotherly Sym
pathy. Rev. R. O. Burton, Presiding Elder of
this District, who held quarterly meeting
at Whitcville last Saturday and Sunday,
and who has since been in this city, left
yesterday to visit the venerable Dr. Closs at
Toisnot, Wilson county, who has been very
sick and is still quite feeble, although he
has to return here in order to meet his ap
pointment at Elizabethtown, Bladen coun
ty, on Saturday and Sunday next, the 24th
and 25th inst. This is an evidence of Chris
tian sympathy and brotherly feeling which
it is very pleasant to find existing in this
world which is given so much to hard
hearted neglect and indifference or the cold
formalities which carry with them no
warmth of feeling or words of cheer. In
this trip merely' to see an aged friend and
brother, the reverend gentleman will have
to travel two hundred and thirty-two miles
(going and returning), and he always pays
as he goes.

British Barque David G. Worth.
The German barque August, recently
purchased by Mr. James Sprunt, has been
pretty thoroughly overhauled and repaired
for another voyage, and presented on yes
terday quite a handsome appearance, with
all her flags flying as the British barque
David G. Worth. Those of us who remem
ber the days of Worth & Daniel will appre
ciate, with our worthy townsman, this com
pliment by the owner to his old friend and
employer.
The barque is now being loaded by
Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son for an English
port, where it is the intention of her owner
to thoroughly repair her for an Al. class.
In the language of the old fashioned
bills of lading, "and may God speed the
good ships to her port of destination."
A Victim of the Accident on the Vir
ginia Midland Railroad.
A brief telegram in Tuesday's Star men
tioned the fact that a. misplaced switch on
the Virginia Midland Railroad threw the
train off the track, and the mail agent and
engineer were badly hurt The latter
turns out to be a young man named Jas.
B. Cook, who was formerly a route agent
between this city and Richmond, and who
was transferred from that route to the Vir
ginia Midland, or more properly, in postal
parlance, the Washington and Charlotte
route, for the reason that his relatives now
reside in Washington. He is said to have
been wounded very badly, and it is feared
he will die. The accident occurred about
four miles from Danville.

Carl D ibbitt and P. Sullivan were be
fore the layor yesterday morning on the
charge 9f fighting. The former's face
looked al if his antagonist had endeavored
to dab iCiwith as many marks, scratches
and bruises as it was possible to adorn one
particulply phiziagnomy with, but the
most of ffhich he cjaim to have received
in a fall when Sullivan struck him. The
difficult1 seems to have grown out of the
fact that Sullivan in n spirit of mischief
abstracted a couple of handkerchiefs from
DabbitfV pocket and threw them down, re
fusing t restore them when called upon
to do sd that words ensued and oaths were
exchanged, which finally resulted in a col
lision. iTlie Mayor seemed to regard it as
an affray and required the defendants to
pay a ffe of $5 each or go below for ten
days. w
