Wilmington and Weldon Rail Road.
It is rumored, and we hope with truth, that
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad is soon to
be transferred to its legitimate authority. This
transfer will, no doubt, be made at an early
day, and the sooner it is done, the sooner will
the necessary repairs be made to put it in run
ning order to Weldon, and the country be benes
fitted by a direct line of communication from
here to Richmond, and probably to Washington
City. These repairs so necessary now are all
beyond Goldsboro’ and between that place and
Weldon. It is essential, then, in making them,
that the workshops, too's, &c., all at this end,
should have the use of the road, to be made
available, in order to expedite the work.
AVe know the President and are assured that
as soon as the control is devolved on him, he
will use all the facilities at his command to
wards its completion, and in making it a source
of benefit to the people along its line of travel.
City Provost Court, Thursday June 29.
The court room yesterday presented an un
usual sight. Only two or three cases of sol?
diers were up for investigation, charged with
breaches of military discipline. It is a gratify
cation to see this change for the better.
Drunk.—A soldier belonging to the 13th Pa.
cavalry was arrested during the day for drunk
enness and disorderly conduct. He was quite
unruly and annoying. A reminder was given
him by which he talked less and appeared very
graceful. He was an enlisted manand the ques
tion is where did he get the liquor to get drunk
with. It is regretted that the seller could not
be found and served in. the same manner or a
Little worse than the soldier.
Complaints.—Every day some one is corns
plaining. Everybody it may be said complains,
and about everything. It. is too hot for some
and not hot enough for others. Business is
dull, no money and hard times are all subjects
that have been exhausted by stereotyped com
plaints. In fact who could Ive without it. If
we could not grumble and. find fault the world
would stop its revolutions, and the peopled
heavenly bodies would be struck dumb with
amazement. Let’s all grumble on—never stop,
and when we get tired let’s philosophically give
up the ghost and retire from the grumbling,
groveling stage of action, and go grumbling
into the world to come.
Drunkenness. —An unusual number of cases
of drunkenness has been noticed on the streets
lately, principally among soldiers on their way
to their homes. IE looks hard to interfere with
soldiers after theflong campaigns that they have
undergone, but good discipline requires obe
dience to orders and they are in all cases arrest
ed. They should learn some other manner of
enjoying themselves than by getting drunk. It
is to be hoped that the habit will not reach the
same stage that it once attained here, although
it is evidently now on the increase.
Sanitary.—The sanitary condition of the
city yet requires labor, and a good deal of it.—
Many places need lime to give them the pleasant
and agreeable odor of other parts of the city.
About the court house the scent of the roses
still remain, and like a certain animal is almost
unendurable. Mayor Dawsonand his dump carts
would have some work to do there if the city
government was in the Mayor’s hands, and it is
hardly likely that any one would envy him the
job, who had ever passed this place early in the
morning.
Dull.—Yesterday was a dull day—at least
so spoken of in business circles. Water street,
usually so active, looked remarkable quiet, the
only signs of activity were about the wharf of
the steamer Louisa Moore which leaves for New
York to-morrow. The great warmth of the sun
drove- pedestrians to the shade early in the fores
noon, a^d a lolling about amounting almost to
laziness was' the result. Take things easy, or
as the thieves say, as you come to them, is not
a very bad resolution with the thermometer
above fever heat.
Loafers.—The market house in this city is
now used by a lot of lazy negros and loafers as
a night rendezvous. As many as twenty-five or
thirty can be found there every night. The
guard makes a flank movement in that direction
occasionally during the day. Suppose they in-,
vade this roost once or twice. It looks reason
able to suppose that the street force might be
reinforced by such a movement.
Get Out of the Way.—Negroes standing
on the sidewalks would probably, receive a bet
ter recognition from passers-by if they would
not congregate in such large numbers. It is a
great annoyance and inconvenience, as well as
very ungejitlemanly anion
white people, and
The Secretary of the Treasury has issued
the following highly important circular rela
tive to the collection of Internal Revenue in
the Southern States:.
Treasury Department, June 21, 1865.
Section forty-six of the Internal Revenue
Act, approved June 30, 1864^ provides that
whenever the authorities of the United States
shall have been re established in any State
where the execution of the laws had previ
ously been impossible, the provisions of the
act shall be put in force in such State with
such modification of inapplicable regulations
in regard to assessment, levy, time and man
ner of collection, as may be directed by the.
department, without waiving in any degree
the rights of the government in respect to
taxes that have heretofore accrued, or assum
ing to exonerate the taxpayer from his legal
responsibility for such taxes. The depart
ment does not deem it advisable to insist at
present upon their payment, so far as they
were payable prior to the establishment ofa
collection district embracing the territory in
which the taxpayer resides. But assessors in
the several collection districts recently estab
lished in the States lately in insurrection, are
directed to require returns, and to make as
sessments for the several classes of taxes for
the appropriate legal period preceding the
first regular day on which a tax becomes due
after the establishment of the district; that
is to say in the several districts in question
the proper tax will be assessed upon the in
come of the year 1864, inasmuch as the tax
for that year is due upon the 30th day of
June subsequently to the establishment of the
district. All persons found doing any busi
ness for which a license is required, will be
assessed for the proper license from the first
day of the month in which the district is es
tablished. Persons engaged in any business
for which monthly or quarterly returns are
required to be made, will be assessed for the
month cr quarter for which returns should be
made at the first return-day after the estab
lishment of the district, and the same princi
ple will apply to those taxes which are paya
ble at different periods. A manufacturer of
tobacco, for instance, in a district established
after the 1st, and before the ,20th day of May,
will be assessed.upon his sales for the month
of April. When any manufactured articles
are found in the hands of a purchaser, and it
is shown to the satisfaction of the assessor
that the. goods were actually sold and passed
out of the hands of the manufacturer before
the commencement of the period for which he
is properly taxable, the articles will not be
subject to tax in the hands of such purchaser,
unless transported beyond the limits of the
States lately in insurrection. The holder of
any distilled spirits, manufactured tobacco, or
other article which is Table to seizure on ac
count of the absence of inspection marks, may
present to the assessor the evidence that the
articles in his hands, or under the circum
stances -which obtain in the particular case,
are now subject to tax except as above stated.
And if the assessor is satisfied, he will cause
the packages to be so marked that they may
be identified and sold without liability of seiz
ure. Whenever any collector shall have reas
on to believe that the holder of any goods on
which the tax has not been paid intends to
remove the same beyond the limits of the
States lately in insurrection, and to evade the
payment of the tax, he will seize the goods
and take the necessary steps for their con
demnation, unless the holder shall give bond,
as-hereinafter prescribed, for the transporta
tion or exportation of the goods, or shall re
turn the same to the assessor, and pay to the
collector the amount of tax that shall be found
due. In, all cases in which a seizure shall be
made under these instructions, the depart
ment, on being informed of such seizure, twill
consider the case, and extend such measure
of relief as the facts shall justify. In the
States of Virginia, Tennessee and Louisiana,
collection districts were some time since es
tablished, with such boundaries as to include
territory in which it has but recently become
possible to enforce the laws of the United
States in those districts. The rule laid down
above will be so modified as to require the as
sessment and collection of the first taxes
which become due after the establishment of
assessment divisions in the particular locality.
Whenever assessments are to be made, based
upon transactions which may have been car
ried on in a depreciated currency, it will be
proper for the assessor to ascertain the amount
of the income, or value, or sales, or receipts,
in lawful money of the United States, accord
ing to the best information which he can ob
tain as to the average value of such deprecia
ted currency for the period covered by the as
sessment. The duties upon cotton and spir
its of turpentine, are, by a special provision
of the statute, made payable by the person in
whose hands the articles are first found by
officers of internal revenue. With reference
to those articles, therefore, the rule laid down
will not apply j but assessments will be made
wherever they are found. Whenever any pei-
son holds, as a purchaser, any articles which,
under the internal revenue laws, may be
transported under bond, and desires to trans
port the same to any Northern port or place,
he may apply to the assessor to have the
amount of tax ascertained and determined.
The proper examination having been had, the
assessor will certify the amount of duties
thereon to the Collector, and the Collector will
thereupon grant a permit for their removal,
after the execution of a bund for their sto
rage in bonded warehouse, such permit and
bond being in t ie, form required by the regu
lations for the establishment of bonded ware-
sary certificates will be issued for the cancel
lation of the bond in the same manners if
the goods were transported from another bond
ed warehouse. Whenever any person who is
assessed for a license is found to have paid a
license tax to a special agent, appointed un
der the regulations of the Treasury Depart
ment for commercial intercourse with insur
rectionary districts, the Collector will issue a
license for the year ending May 1, 1866, and
will collect only so much as may be due for
the time intervening after the expiration of
the license issued by the special agent. The
amount assessed and thus left uncollected will
be abated when the proper claim is presented
to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

Frightful Tragedy in Massachu
setts.
A BOY SHOOTS HIS FATHER AND THEN KILLS
HIMSELF;
The Boston Traveller gives the following
detailed account of the terrible tragedy at
Saugus, on Tuesday last :
A terrible affair occurred in the town of
Saugus Tuesday afternoon. George Holliday,
a boy of sixteen, having shot his father, Gar
vin Holliday, with a revolver, and then kill
ed himself. During the forenoon the boy had
been at work hoeing, and had complained of
a pain in his head. In the afternoon the fa
ther, who is a manufacturer of sewing ma
chines, was at work in his shop, about halfa
mile distant from his dwelling house. The
boy came to the shop and told him two men
were at the house who wished to see him.—
Mr. Holliday at- once started for home, the
boy accompanying him. On the way the boy
fell behind, and when twenty or thirty rods
from the house, drew a revolver and dis
charged it at his father. The ball struch him
in the neck, back of the left ear, passed out
side of the spinal column, and lodged under
thebone, back of the right ear. The father
fell to the ground, somewhat stunned, but
soon recovering, looked up and saw his son,
with a stone in each hand, apparently pre
paring to hurl them at him. He sprang up,
when the boy, see ing that he w as prepared
to defend himself, ran into a small piece of
woods close by. The father managed to go
home, wounded as he was, and a physician
was called. On Wednesday he was taken to
the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston,
and a consultation of surgeons was held, when
it was decided to attempt to remove the ball,
as the only possible means of saving his life.
The operation was a difficult and dangerous
one, but the ball was extracted. It was of
the Minie pattern, and had been completely
flattened by contact with the bone. Mr. Hol
liday is doing well, and there are hopes of
his recovery.
A warrant was issued by Justice E. P. Ro
binson, of Saugus, for the arrest of the boy,
and a search for him was commenced on Wed
nesday morning. Ilis body was found by a
brother at about 9 o’clock in the forenoon, in
the woods, at a very short distance from
where the assault upon his father had taken
place. He had shot himself in the neck, and
the ball had passed up into the brain, proba
bly killing him instantly. The weapon had
been placed close to his neck, “which was
much mutilated. George Holliday was very
strong for his years, and a man in stature.—
The kindest feeling has existed between him
and his father. He was considered a good
boy, and had a kind disposition. There has
been no insanity in the family. It is the be
lief of those acquainted with the facts that he
had become insane in consequence of a sun
stroke.
Tiie Troubles of Returned Rebels
in Missouri.
A St. Louis correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune writes as follows to that journal:
Further surrender of guerrillas are reported
during the week, the most important of which
are the surrender of Jim Anderson, and Jim
Jackson, in Howard county. Jackson has
not come in himself, and refuses to do so un
til he has a safeguard with a promise of pro
tection, if attacked, to leave the State. His
men, with three or four exceptions, have,
however, given themselves up. The paroled
guerillas and returned rebels find it hard to
get peace in this State. If they return io
Boone, or Galloway, or other rebel counties,
they are indicted for horse stealing, and ar
rested. If they venture into any radical
couniy they are mobbed by the Union men,
and ordered to quit immediately. All who
have any money come at once to St. Louis,
and all who can, go down the river and seek
a home in some free State. The Union men
who govern the eastern counties are fully re
solved not to tolerate any rebels whether re
turned or otherwise, and it is proposed to try
one of the traitors for State treason, and pun
ish him, if convicted.
Some bloody scenes have recently been en
acted in the interior, the particulars of which
have been suppressed from the interior local
papers for several reasons. It is represented
by a distinguished State official, whose posi
tion entitles him to know, that several returned
rebels have lately been killed on that side in
North Missouri, and that many Union men
have in turn been killed by returned rebels.
It has been known that large orders for pow
der and ball have been received from interior
Union men lately, and the use these articles
have been put to is now apparent. This sort
of thing is so common that some of the rebel
sympathisers have appealed to Governor
Fletcher for protection, but the governor has
no means of furnishing protection to loy
al men against rebels, and certainly has

General Orders No. 60.—The department
announces to the navy and to the Marine
i rpa ’ I n death > this morning, at Philadel-
s W ° f Eear Admiral Samuel F. Dupont, U.
N , after an honorable career of nearly fifty
years in the service of his country. This
officer was distinguished for ability and ac
quirements in his profession, and filled with
credit many important positions, both ashore
and afloat. He was especially distinguished
for his decisive and splendid victory achieved at
Port Royal, S. C., on Nov. 7, 1861, for which
he received the thanks of Congress. As a
recognition of his distinguished services, and
a mark of respect to his memory, it is hereby
directed that at Navy yard, Philadelphia, the
flags will be hoisted half mast, to-morrow, and
continue so until sunset of the day of his
burial, on which day, at noon, thirteen min
ute-guns will be fired, and at all other navy-
yards the flags will be hoisted half-mast on

this order, and thirteen minute guns fired at
General Lee’s Application for
Pardon.
[From the Richmond Tinies, June 20.]
The Northern papers state that General
Robert E. Lee has applied to the executive at
Washington for the exercise of clemency. We
hail this step as eminently wise, and judi
cious and patriotic. An example so illustri
ous and worthy of imitation must be attended
with the happiest results. It removes many
difficulties from the path of those who have
hesitated and questioned the propriety of pur
suing a similar course. If this noble and
famous Bayard of the South, without hesita
tion, acknowledges the sunremacy of the gov
ernment, seeks to be rehabilitated as a citizen,
and tenders his allegiance, who need entertain
a doubt as to his own duty? General Lee’s
application we regard as a cheerful, voluntary
and most timely recognition on the part of
this great Christian warrior of the duty of
each and every citizen of the South to contri
bute his influence to the work of national
pacification. Having for many weeks, by his
personal counsel and advice, aided in thework
of restoring peace and tranquility, he now
throws the weight and example of his great
name and irreproachable character into the
scale.
STATE STEMS.
Death of Allen W. Wooten.—Died in the
Lunatic Asylum, at Raleigh, on the 21st inst.,
Major Allen W. Wooten, member of the last
Legislature from Lenoir county. He was very
extensively known throughout the State, and
his noble nature and upright Christian prin
ciples, made him beloved andrespected by all
who knew him. He was emphatically an-
honest man. Although his business dealings
brought him in contact with men from every
section of the State, and men in every condi
tion of life, no man who has ever had deal
ings with him can say that he was ever de
ceived in any matter by Allen W. Wooten.—
In his own neighborhood he was an especial
favorite. The poor came to him for assis
tance, and were never turned away empty ;
the widow came for advice, and found in him
a faithful counsellor ; the orphan applied for
protection, and always received it at his
hands. He was a friend to every good enter
prise and an unselfish counsellor in every
neighborhood dispute or difficulty. In fact
he was the general umpire for all family or
business difficulties in the neighborhood where
he lived, and all who appealed to him were
satisfied with his decisions.
The loss of two sons in the army and his
servants and his property induced a state of
Lunacy from which he never recovered.—

Baron Lionel De Rothschild’s new mansion,
at Hyde Park-corner, was on Wednesday in
augurated by the mar riage, according to.the
Jewish ritual, of Baron Ferdinand De Roths
child, second son of Baron Anselm, chief part
ner in the Vienna branch of the world-re
nowned firm, with Miss Evelina De Roth
schild, the second daughter of Baron Lionel.
The marriage was celebrated in the ball-
room soon after six o’clock, and at its conclu
sion all the wedding guests were entertained
at a most superb banqeut. The mansion,
which, in the splendor and richness of its in
ternal arrangements has few equals in Eng
land, was specially decorated for the occasion.
Great banks of flowers and rare plants were
grouped in masses between the marble col
umns of the grand staircase, and all the niches
and balustrades were filled with flowers till
the air was heavy with their perfume. The
gallery in which the banquet was served pre
sented a really splendid aspect. The walls
between the mirrors were draped with white
lace, and over these light traceried hangings
were wreaths of roses, making the colors of
the bridesmaids—pink and whit?. Groups of
orange blossom, lillies, and other emblematic
flowers suited to the occasion, were interspers
ed, while along the length of the saloon were
ranged the tables. In this age of progress
tables turn instead of groaning, otherwise they
might certainly have been expected to remon
strate yesterday at the weight of the orna
ments with which they seemed overborne.
The master-pieces of Sevres, Dresden and
Worcester were skillfully cembined with ra
cing cups, great tankards, epergnes and cen
terpieces, both of gold and silver. Those bid
den to the wedding included the Austrian am
bassador and the Countess Apponyi, the
French ambassador, the Duke and Duchess
of Southerland, the Duke and Duchess of
Somerset, the Duchess of St; Albans and La
dy Diana Beauclerk, the Duchess of Man
chester, the Duke and Duchess of Newcastle,
the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, the
Marquis of Huntly, the Marchioness of Down
shire and Lady Alice Hill, the Marquis Co
nyngham, the Marchioness of Ailesbury, the
Earl and Countess of Essex, the Earl Cado
gan, the Earl of Dudley, the Countess of Gif
ford, the Countess Spencer, the Countess of
Clarendon, the Earl and Lady Constance Gros
venor, Lord and Lady Cecelia Bingham, Vis

William Hay, Lady Rachel Butler, the Speak
er; and Lady Charlotte Denison, Sir Alexand
er Cockburn, Sir Robert and Lady Emily
Peel, Mr. and Mrs. Disraeli, Mr. Lowe, Mr.
C. P. Villiers, &o. Shortly after 6 o’clock,
the guf sts having assembled in the ball-room,
Dr. Alder, the chief rabbi, assisted by Dr.
Kalisch and Mr. Green, prepared to perform
the ceremony according to the ancient rites
of the Jewish religion. A velvet canopy, sup
ported at the four corners by the bridge-
groom’s garcons d’honneur, was carried to the
upper end of the ball-room. The bridegroom,
Baron Ferdinand, was then led in by his near
est male relatives and placed under the cano
py. The bride, who till then had remained
in her own apartment, now descended to the
balDroom, attended by fourteen bridesmaids,
attired in pink and white. The young ladies
who thus shone in fair array behind the cen
ter figure were Lady Diana Beauclerk, Lady
Alice Hill, Miss Edith Montgomery, Miss Sybil
Montgomery, Miss Ethel Lennox, Miss Con
stance De. Rothschild, Miss Annie De Roth
schild, Miss Hannah De Rothschild, Miss
Alice De Rothschild, Miss Emma De Roth
schild, and the Misses Margaret, Adelaide,
Georgiaha, and Bettina De Rothschild. At
the door of the ballroom the bride, who wore
a dress of white lace, was met by her moth
er, who, assisted by her bridesmaids, com
pletely enveloped her whole figure in a
rich veil, which reached to the ground.
She was then led into the ball-room with
the same ceremony as the bridegroom, and
placed with him under the canopy. All the
gentlemen of the Hebrew faith having put
on their hats, and the Chief Rabbi having
pronounced a brief exhoneration to the be
trothed, the service was commenced in He
brew. 'The first portion having been con
cluded the bride and bridegroom drank of a
cup of wine and water, and Baron Ferdinand,
taking the ring, placed it on the bride’s
linger, repeating slowly and distinctly in
Hebrew, “Behold, thou art betrothed unto
me with this ring, according to the rites of
Moses and Israel.” The marriage contract
was then read, and prayers resumed. At the
conclusion of these the new-married couple
again drank a glass of wine between them,
and, the glass being placed on the
ground empty, the bridegroom crushed it
with his foot, all his relatives and friends
wishing aloud at the same moment that the
marriage might be happy, and the bride and
bridegroom as irretrievably joined as the
pieces of glass Were forever sundered. The
