Some of the Kickers in North Carolinaafe in a fair way to kick themselves to death by second No vember. Cob and Alf Taylor each carry a bald head and a high forehead. They are always "chaffing each other on their good looks. Bob is said to be the better' looking. The New York Star sya of itself that it is now the best daily ever published in that city. It would be more modest to leave that to be said by others if they will. Burly Sullivan, the Boston pugil ist, knocked Herld Prone, the Nice town lad, to the floor in two rounds. The police stopped the fight, which occurred at Allegheny City. John L. only used his left hand. Already one trifling "theatrical Tannehill's and it "basted" in Penn sylvania before itv got far on the road. It is a pity all such compa nies do not come to grief early. The Harrisburg correspondent of the New York World, telegraphs on 18th inst., that the outlook for the election of Chauncey J. Black, Dem ocratic candidate for Governor, is hopeful. This is very doubtful news we apprehend. - The New York Star says that T. C Crawford, who writes from Wash ington to the World, is "a Blaine Re- puvuuau ui tue uiubii lauauuai type.

Gen. Fremont," in- his" Memoirs, pays a high tribute to the beauty and fascination of Jessie Benton, his wife, and a grand-daughter of North Carolina. The General's taste in the flatter may be questioned. . She was no doubt handsome, "engaging and? yOL.XXXVIII.-NO. intellectually very clever, but some other pen shonld have told it. ; " ' There . is but - little prospect of peace in Europe. AH the great na tions are making preparations for war. . It has been sixteen years since there was a Teally great war, al though . Russia and : Turkey had a sharp tussle. There fa a state of alarm from one end to the other of the Continent. Mr. O'Connor ca bles to the New York Star on the 18th: ' - "Jingo feelinc in England is becinninc to manifest itself strongly, on the Bulga rian question and the attitude of France on the evacuation of EcryDt The anti-Rus sian sentiment in Germany is rapidly ex tending., in spite of all Bismarck can do to restrain its DUblic exoression. Turkish officials in private conversation state plain ly that the War Office is getting the mili tary establishment up to full war strength as fast as -means allow. The war feeling in France is growing apace, fed by the in judicious language of general officers and statesmen.":- The Stab has again and again told its readers that it took some three million or more men for the North to lick the South with but 600,000 men. The following from the Philadelphia News makes the number on the Northern side nearly as great as we had supposed. It says: "Durin? the four veara nf nnr war unH out of the 2,772.408 men enlisted, there were 304,369 deaths, of which 95.000 were either killed in battle or died of wounds re ceived in battle. The other 209,000 died from disease and from other causes incident to the field of battle.." The North lost half as many as the South oyer. enlisted. Edmund Kirke, author of the "Rear Guard of the Revolution," the hero of which is Gen Sevier, of Tennessee, is said to follow closely Dr. Ramsey's "Annals of Tennes see." He is said to make a very un usual free use of the Doctor's val uable material. By the way, Ed mund Kirke's real name is John R. Gilmore. He is a Northern man who for some years has lived in East Tennessee. Maj.Grahatn,in his Raleigh speech, said this of the silver question, as he is reported in the News-Observer: "In . regard to the coinage of silver he thought the relative value of gold and sil ver should be settled by an international commission. Read the extract on inside from Richmond Whig. It states the question in a nutshell under "Current Comment." " The Richmond State conveys the information in the following few lines: - "The first voyage across the Atlantic ocean by a steamship was made sixty years ago. 1 be steamer was called tne Savan nah, and was of 380 tons burden. It took her twenty-five days to get across. When she . steamed into Liverpool she was the wonder of the world. She consumed about five tons of coal a day. : Some of the Cunarders now consume 840 tons per day." Miss Mary Anderson is to give seven performances in Dublin in aid of Charleston. That is so much like a good Southern girl to whom her country is dear although absent.

We understand that yesterday afternoon, Anderson Lee, . col ored, who resides in O'Neills township, Johnston county, was found in the woods near his residence, with his throat cut from ear to ear. The supposition is that he was murdered, as bad feelings were known to exist between him and some neighboring colored people in regard to some cows.

Jarvis, between whom and Judge i? owle there was no kind feeling. When nearly all the town of Fayetteville was burned, in 1831, Charleston sent the distressed people $6,000. Fayetteville now sends a handsome contri bution to Charleston. Maj. J. W.

Washington gossip: Visitors here from the Raleigh dis trict, since Mr. Nichols's announcement, think that he is going to give Major Gra ham a close race for Congress.

A storekeeper in the eastern portion of the city had his money drawer rifled of its contents on Saturday evening last while he was eating his supper in an adjoining room which opened on the store. A purchaser who entered the place about the time, as serts that he saw a small boy come from behind the counter and run put into the street. As this is about the fourth one of our merchants whose money drawers have been robbed on Saturday evenings, suspi cion points to this same small sneak thief as the party who has' done all the stealing.

In accordance with previous announce ment the stalls in the city market houses were rented by auction yesterday. Con siderable interest was manifested, as it was thought by the demonstrations made that something interesting, would occur. But the proceedings were tame and uninterest ing to the on-lookers, although highly satisfactory to the market committee of the Board of Aldermen, the bidding being spirited and the stalls . renting for good prices. The chief interest centred in Front street market bouse, and a large crowd had assembled there by 12 o'clock, at which hour the auctioneer and the committo ap peared.1 Mayor Hall was present and an nounced the terms upon which the stalls, etc., would be rented for one year from the 1st of October one month's rental to be paid upon the spot; note for futther pay ments to be given within twenty four hours; possession to be given the first day of Oc tober.

A Correspondent of the Richmond Whig tells what he knows about "Sora" in Virginia and State and further South. the bird called Coot", in this The bird makes its appearance in Virginia in the autumn, feeds on seed of grass, wild oats, etc., and migrates with the first sharp frost further South. C. II. Merriam, Chief of Division of Economic Ornithology and Mammology, U. S. Department of Agriculture, being written to in regard to" the , habits of the bird,-writes: j "I have just returned from a trip to the rice fields of South Carolina and Georgia. The bird of which you write is the sora rail, Porzana, Carolina), known locally by a variety of names, among which are ortolan, Carolina rail and coot. I have never known the latter name to be used, except in South Carolina and Georgia, where I have killed the birds in question in the rice fields. This species breeds in the North, and passes in the fall and winter. to the West Indies and South' America." The correspondent of the Whig says that it is not unmual to hear well-educated farmers contend that upon the arrival of frost the sora went into the mud of the marshes of Virginia. It Is a little singular that the negroes of the rice plantations of the Cape Fear account in the same way for the sudden disappearance of the coot in this section upon the advent of frost. Like the rice bird they migrate suddenly and , mys teriously at night. Board of Audit and Finance. The Board met in regular semi-monthly session at the City Hall yesterday afternoon. Present W. I.

Those selling the same ar ticles in a fixed place other than a person who keeps a regular store, paying the reg ular tax therefor, shall pay $1.50 per month. i v Tne .counterfeit money Case. Ernest Jones, the young man from Sloop Point charged with passing a counterfeit ten-dollar bill, was arraigned before XJ. B. Commissioner Gardner yesterday, and after a thorough. investigation of the esse was discharged. It appeared by the evidence that a man resembling the accused had pur chased a few groceries at Messrs. Holmes & FilJyaw'8 store on- the night of Saturday, September 4th, and in payment tendered a r dilapidated ten-dollar National bank note, which ; was taken without question ; but upon presentation at bank the following" Monday was declared to. be counterfeit and refused. Jones came into Holmes & Fill yaw's store Saturday, last and was arrested upon suspicion of being the guilty party. For the defence it was shown by the testi mony of Jones' employer, Mr. Bruce Mc Millan, and three other persons, that Jones was not in the city ' on ! Saturday the 4th inst, but was at his home at Sloop Point, twenty-six miles from Wilmington.
