It will be seen that the above infor

of this city and section Some of the m
estimate the failing off atjS per cenf,
while others go as high as 66jne7r cent.
Afte talking with them all, we believe
it is jafe to estimate the shortage in the
cotton crop iu. this section and
the portions of the two states contigi
ous to this city at 40 per cent, of the
.cotton crop and about 20 per cent, of
the corn crop. When the quality ..of
the cotton , is brought iu the damage
will prove to be about 50 per cent. -

Telephone and Telegraph Poles
. A meeting of the Board of Aldermen
was held, on .Friday afternoon last to
take into consideration the matter of
the erection of telephone poles, with
the viewjof regulating the same. so that
they will not be in the way. Resolu
tions were passed to that effect, requir
ing the poles to be erected immediately
withing the curb, or on a line with the
outside of the curb, and in all casesin
such position as to prevent the least
obstruction to passage or traffic. The
resolutions also require the W. U. Tel
egraph Company to have their poles
conform to the same regulations. As
some solace to the the telephone and
telegraphic companies, lor the trouble
they will have to undergo, it was re
solved that no person rshall be allowed
to deface any of the poles referred to,
by advertisements, printed or cut there
on or attached thereto irr any mauner.

1 Two Ocean Steamers.
Itf looks very much like Wilming
ton's chipping business was improving
when we have two ocean jsteamships at
lone time lying at our wharves, besides
the many coastwise steamers and sail
ing ships. We are informed by the
Collector, Capt. Pennybacker, that an
other steamship is on the war here and
. r -"f
will arrive within the next few days.
We are glad to. see this evidence of
prosperity and hope it is not tempo
rary, bat will prove only the beginning
of a successful direct connection of
this city with foreign countries. Why
our opinioB, the merchants here can,
if they will, provide cargoes of freight
for the steamships to bring as well as
cotton and naval stores for them to
take away. We cannot compete with
other American ports unless the vessels
are loaded both ways, therefore our
business men must have an eye to the
import as well as the export trade. If
thev will do this. We have no doubt of
the success of this new business.
The Wilmington Firemen.
The reception tendered to the Wil "
mington. Hook and Ladder Company
by the Howard Relief and Wilmingion
S. F. E. Companies, took place on
afternoon. The Hook and

City Hall by the other two companies,
where a speech of reoeption and con
gratulation was delivered by Chief
f the fire department, who
was followed by Mayor Hall, jn re
sponse to loud calls, who spoke briefly
but earnestly and eloquently. Coionel
Roger Moore was next called upon and
delivered a stirring little speech, after
which the procession was reformed
and marched through a number of the
principal streets, and finally drew up
at the ball of the Little Giant Engine
House, where a banquet was spread for
them. CapUia John Cowan delivered
a ahort address of welcome, on behalf
of the two engine companies, and then
all partook or the splendid cotiauon
