We thought that the long rainy season was over; but, to our dismay and discomfiture, on yesterday morning when merged from our shanty, we fonnd the elements again weeping afresh and thus continued during the entire day. Outrageous Conduct. The rapid and contin uous discharge of firearms in. the Northern part of the city last night was perfectly outrageous. More than 30 shots were fired by persons, at this time unknown; which at so late an hour was highly calculated to occasion alarm in the minds of all who did not know the circumstances. Marshall Whitty promptly dispatched his force jn the direction of the firing; but had ; made no arrests up to the time we went to press. . J. , . ., : -. Outrage. We learn that as Mr. James M. Harris was proceeding down Fayetteville St, last night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, he was seized by some soldiers, with the evident purpose of robbery. He made such demonstrations, how ever, as compelled them to desist and depart. We are informed that two of the party have been arrested and will be properly dealt with by the military authority.

A Richmond paper of Saturday also publishes substantially the same thing on "unquestionable authority:" , Richmond, March 22. It will be authoritatJvA. ly announced to-morrow that General Lee is strongly , in favor of the people voting for a con vention, and that every man not actually disfran chised should not only take the necessary steps to prepare himself to vote, but to prepare all his friends, white and colored, to vote. He thinks co-operation of all the peo )le. officials and citi zens, should be prompt and that the chief oh ject should be to get back into the Union, with sucn rights asre leu us, as quiokly and quietly aa possible. He thinks the oath proposed is such as every good citizen not disfranchise ought new to be able to take, as a citizen of the country. - , . . . AiEMOBLAi, uemetebt.

The following very novel incident was related to us yesterday by a gentleman oi fortsnioutn, oi a jocular tarn of mind, as hating-actually taken place in one of the churches i?Mwastyi . , 5 A plain, unlettered man, from tne lower part of Uhowan county,-JN. C came to Portsmouth several years ago, and on the Sabbath went early to church. - Me selected a seat in a convenient pew, and awai'.ed patiently the assembling of the congregation. Presently the music of a fine toned organ burst upon his astonished ear, he had never heard one before. At the same time, the gentleman who owned the pew came up the aisle with his lady leaning on his arm. A he approached the door of the pew, he motioned to give "place to the lady. This movement the countryman did not comprehend, and from the situation of the gentleman and lady, associated as it was in his mind with the music, , he must have concluded that a cotilion, or country dance, or some other dance was intended. Rising part ly from his seat, he said to him, 'Excuse me, sir excuse me, if yon please. -. I don't dance," Norfolk Journal. ,' T i ' : ,f j C ; Post op I Wilmington. We are officially in formed that on yesterday afternoon, the order as signing General Miles to the command of the Post of Wilmington was countermanded. Colonel Frank, retaining command here. The colored troops who have arrived will return to the Forts below the city as soon as . transportation can be furnished, the companies heretofore under com mand of Colonel Frank, continuing to . garrison this place. The pleasure which this arrange ment will give our citizens, is the best testimony of the good conduct of the troops and the high tone bearing of the officers, and is a tribute which must be grateful to the true soldier. While entering our honest protest to the nec essity of placing our people under the rigors of military law, and certainly desiring to intimate naught against other officers, as long as Con gress so orders, we are satisfied our people will prefer the commander, under the enlarged pow ers now confered, who, in his more limited field of operations, has exercised his authority with a jealous and firm regard for his own duties, but with due respect for the rights of others. Wil. Journal. v : - : - i. . -fi A Car toe Confiscation. For our part we are in favor of confiscating the estates of all such re bels as Davis, Stephens, Lee, Wise, etc., and we believe that Congress thonld exercise the power it undoubtedly possesses to that end. We have not benefited our country in any way by restor ing to these men the huge estates upon which they had grown so insolent These men have cost the country ah expenditure ot money that would have more than sufficed to buy up all their possessions. Their course since the return of peace is proof conclusive that they are not to be trusted or believed any longer, and that they are bent on doing as much mischief as may be with in their reach. What they are capable of we may see in the terrible war they waged for four long and bloody years, and in the countless lives ' lost by thoir means. Philadelphia North American. " The Chilian Wab. Our latest intelligence from the Pacific coast of South America gives but littie information of the progress of the peace negotiations. President Prado, in his message to the Peruvian Congress, states that . the joint offer of mediation made by England and France had been promptly refused, as would be in future all propositiorls- that did not place the name of Pern in an honorable light. As regards the kind offices tendered by the United States, Peru could do nothing .without consulting her allies. The feeling in the allied Republics, in favor of continuing the war until conditions of peace entirely satisfactory can be obtained, is as determined as ever. ' Unfortunately, Peru is again distracted by, civil war, which in no case will chrnge her opposition to Spain, but greatly impairs her militay strength. . , , Coxobed Tboop. - A detachment of colored troops arrived here yesterday, and we learn that two companies of the 40th regiment will follow to-day or to-morrow to relieve the company of white trooDS on duty here.
