An Attempt ai.JFra !.,;-
' John J. Conoley, treasurer-or c Wilmington
Gas company, through thfr co mns'ofTHi
Herald to-day, offers fitty dollars reward for
information of the whereabouts of " W. J. Mar
Hin,"" who signed the receipt to a voucher against
the United States government for gas consumed
in the hospital at this place. The voucher is
certified to by Surgeon " Geo. C Jarvis, 7th C.
V., U. S. A., in charge of hospital," and the re
ceipt is to'Capt. F. G. Hentig, district commis
sary of subsistence, for one hundred and nine
teen dollars and fifty cents, and is signed by
"W. J. Martin," as received from CapUH. for
the company'. The voucher was in the posses
sion of Mr. Conoley yesterday Afternoon, and
from him tlie following information was learned,
in relation to it:
There was a bill against the three hospitals at
the time the receipt was supposed to be given,
in favor of the gas company of this city, for
two hundred and thirty-nine dollars, being
amount of gas consumed up to that data by
them. Mr. Conoley, as the treasurer, presented
the bill, aad received just half the amount of
the account one hundred and nineteen ; dollars
and fifty cents, from .the Surgeon in charge of
the hospitals at the time. Not being the whole
amount due, Mr. C. declined giving. a voucher,
for this amount, and did not do so,indso far
the" natter rested until yesterday, when he was
called upon by CaptMJentig. . It seems that in
rendering his accounts Capt. Hentig had for
warded this voucher to -the department, and it
not being satisfactory,. was sent back to him for
information in regard to it. He called on the
treasurer and was very much surprised to hear
tha. W. J. Martin " had nothing whatever to
do with the Wilmington Gas company, and no
Uch a man was known about here by that name.
Mr. Cenoley then offered the reward; published
to-uay, lor anyinformation concerninr him.
The whole is one of the:, most ingeniously
contrived attempts at fraud that has ever been
brought to light. Whoever the tenetrtor was.
he had certainly succeeded admirably as far as
ne had anything to do with it, and ninety-nine
cases out of every hundred would be successfu
after passing' through the hands ef this one
without, its being brought to light. Whoever he
.may be, it shows very plainly that this is not
his first transaction in such bnsiness. Surgeon
Jarvis is now, it is understood, stationed at
New hern, and the probabilities are that his as
sistance will be given to aid in the detection of
the originator. The name "Martin," it is
thought beyond question, to be a fictitious one
' Heinrn ef the County Records.
Mr. Robert B. Wood, having in charge the
records of this ' county, anived in the city
by the Charlotte train on Thursday afternoon.
These records, filling fourteen boxes, have un
dergone some remarkable shifting' since leaving
this place, and it is altogether the more remark-
able that they have boen preserved to the' coun
ty, o narrow has been the - escape with them..
They were packed, and placed under the charge
of Mr. Wood about the - time of the first attack
upon Fort -Fisher by the federal army and navy,
but the failure of that expedition in the first
attempt being announced they were withheld
until the second attempt and fall of the forts,
when they were shipped to Lumberton, Robe
son county, as the most desirable and available
place of safety. Sherman making his march
through the county rendered their safety here
uncertain. Mr. Wood took them from here and
carried them to what is known thereabouts as
"Big Swamp," and placed them under the
charge of a very trusty ; old. negro, feeling as
sured that this outoflhe-way place would never
be revealed, but they were not free from plun
der'even here. They had, only been placed
there a short time when, some deserters
from the confederate service majde a descent upon
the boxes, not knowing or caring what they.
contained, ripped open one of them, but find
ing the contents were not of the value they
were disposed to appropriate, tossed two or.
three of the books about the old darkey's .yard,
scattered also a few valuable papers" and left
them to their fate altogether. i
These records have had a most remarkable
migratory trip. They are invaluable to the
county, as they contain everything from an an
terior date to the evacuation of the city by the
southern troops, and could never have been re
placed if once lost. So long as they were taken
away, it is, indeed gratifying to knew that they
were entrusted to the care of so competent and
so capable a gentleman as Mr. Wood has proven
himself to be.

Soldiers in Need of Employment- Demon
stration in New York;.
From the Xew York Poet, Aug! 11.
A demonstration of soldiers, sailors, and
other persons was roade to. ay under the au
spices of the j" Metropolitan Employment
Agency, office, Jo, L69 uanal street. A
procession, which was inteuded to march to
the City Hall, to Wall street, and through va
rious streets in j the city, formed at that office
this forenoon; Under the direction of Colonel
Herman and others.
The Metropolitan Agency, which was es
tablished to getemoloyment for soldieis and
sailors, is underthe ostensible management of
a committee. The names of the members of
this committee printed on the poster?, are C.
Godfrey Gunthpr, Mayor; Mathew T. Bren-
nan, Comptroller, Charles u. Cornell, btreet
Commissioner, and other city officials.
PLAN OF THE PROCESSION'.
- The programme of the procession was made
at the agency, and was set forth in two set of
resolutions, which were, read to meetings of
the soldiers at tho agency office and approved
by them. -The movement, the resolutions sta 1
ted and repeated, was entirely fearful in its
aims, ana tne soldiers were seeking: onlv to
direct the attention of the public towards them,'
so they might obtain employment, to which
their services in behalt of their country ought
to entitle them. The soldiers heartily applaud-
ded the name of General Hooker.
FORMING THE PROCESSION THE BANNERS.
The procession was to move promptly at
nine o'clock this morning, from No. 130 Can
al street, and at that hour between two and
three hundred men were assembled in the
street, near the omce. bhortly after nine
o'clock men were sent after some banners.
Six of the banners were soon on the ground.
They bore the following inscriptions :
"we are now seiaier cuizens, witn our
headquarters at the Metropolitan Employ
ment Agency, rio. Id Uanal street. ; ,
V e represen t thousands of brave discharged
soldiers and sailors now asking for work and
bread." .,; ; -V , ' .:' :"-
Our latest employers and references are
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Meade, Hooker,
Hancock, and others.
"Our last occupation was the destruction of
the rebellion and the re-establishment of the
Union with the modtrn improvements.' "
"Uive us employment to support our fann
ies.". , j . ;

gratitude towards those who have saved the'
public." HJ ' :
When the soldiers saw these banners they
expressed their, admiration of them.
At ten o clok the crowd had increased to
tire hundred persons, and the soldiers: who
were to carry the banners arid the flags bad
taken their places in the street! ;. p
ARUITAL OF THE BAND THK PRCCXSSION VO V-
At half past twelve o'clock the band of the
4th Regular regiment arrived in Canal street.
The, drama beat, tho banners reappeared, and
the soldiers who were in the; vicinity came
from various places, and formed in procession.

"Aot unless they bad denmtely accepted

things are sine qua non.
"But that docs not cover the case. Every
thing now points to the success at all th
