JiL - About tha ytar 1749 dveral Spanish privateer' availing' themselves of the defenceless condition of the old town of Brunswick, entered the Cape Fear rivtr and committed considerable dep redation upon . the inhabitants, but the people ot the surrounding country hastily, collected and made an attack upon them, and during the action one of the piratical vessels was "hlown up and Jknumber of valuable effects were saved, from the wreck which were af terwards applied to the building of, St Philip church at Brunswick, and St Jamee! at Wilmington. There has always been a tradition in this lpcality that, in the cabin of the privateer which was sunk nearly oppo . site old Brunswick, Olere was a. table of solid gold which went to thebottom with the ship and has never been re covered. If there ia any truth n this tradition what an , opportunity"4 is of fered for some enterprising citizen to realize- & fortune! Nothing I venture, nothing gain, is an apothia(m of every day applicability and the chances of success are no more separate than in the investment of a lottery ticket. That sometimes turns up a prize and who knows but success might reward the efforts of the toiler after this! hidden "treasure. It is true it haa been buried for a long time but not so long as the tables and golden candlesticks which were thrown into the Tiber centuries ago which science declares will be eventually recovered. If that be true why not our golden table also? Is the Tiber any different from the Cape Fear, and if one is made to disgorge its treas ures why not the other? ' , ' ' "What a fortune Is in store for the lucky fellow who finds that table he would nave a bank to draw upon ad infinitum and without any "fear of a "bust up." We wish we had remem bered this when Madame Amai was here "a short time .ago, we would cer tainly have consulted her as to the exact spot where ft is located and would have paid her fee, however large it may have been, without a murmur or a groan. But we are always too late and the golden opportunity is lost, attributable no .doubt to the fact, as" somebody one remarked, that we were always Just "one drink behind," and so owing to that? we have lost our for tune for all time to come. .

At Castle Haynes last Wednesday afternoon, two colored men by the nanje of Sam Register and Edward Sharpless, got into difficulty over some Ughtwood which Register had cut for Edward Lafferty. It seems that some of the wood had been condemned on account of its being rotten, and in words between Lafferty and Register, the latter accused Sharpless of being the cause of having the wood refused. In a subsequent quarrel between Sharp less and Register, Sharpless shot Reg ister with a gun, Register died from the wound early yesterday morning and Sharpless surrendered himself to Jus tice James Cowan, at Castle Haynes, who sent him to jail in this city, com mitting him without bail. Sharpless claims that-Register assaulted him with. an axe and that he shot himJ5-SelTde fense. - . epohsefb"elegram from Jus tice Cowan, Coroner Jacobs went up yesterday and held an inquest with a Jury consisting of C.

Professor Gentry's fine troop of train ed dogs and ponies had a creditable parade yesterday afternoon and gave a splendid performance to a large au dlence last night The thorough train ing shown by the! animals Is marvel lous and the work and acts they per form are wonderful to see. Chief among the horses was Romeo and Ju llet two of -the best trained ponies we nave ever seen. The actions .of the dogs and the far and high Jumping hound were heartily applauded. The pyramid, made entirely,: of dogs was striking and the final piece, Ro meo's pyramid, or the "Livlnglcture of Animals was the best thing of the kind ever seen in the city.

The question now was whether we would have white supremacy or ne gro rule, and both factions should come together and work In harmony for the rule of white men. Mr. Fishblate said it was the understanding-that Mr. Johnson and 'himself were to be the only two candidates, but he noticed two others had been placed in nomination. Mr. Fishblate said:. "They are pure and true men, but under the arrange ment agreed on, I am a candidate for the nomination. I am not here to ask you tojrote for me. Jonly desired to be a candidate for peace and harmony." (Applause.) ' . Mr. E. F. Johnson took the rostrum and said there had been talk of his connection with the nomination in a manner that he did not like.

Mr. Johnson said ' under that arrangement Mr. Fish blate was selected from the regulars and I was selected from the reformers, I conferred with thirty representative men of my faction, and they approved of that course. A caucus was 'called but there was only four present and no caucus was held, but I announced my self as a candidate. I ask the support of no man. I heard of another caucus ;tp select two candidates and I went to -itj but got there too Jate. I do not pro pose to back down from my position, but I , wish to explain my connection with the nomination. I was willing to do anything to unite the democratic party, but I entered into no combina tion with any man. Reports going about the city put me in a false posi tion, but if the man who makes such statements about me will come to my face, I will tell him that he lies. (Ap plause.)

Fennell and Post He also urged every demo crat to register. He said he wished to reiterate that the most important ques tion in this election waa whether there shall be white rule or negro rule. "As for me," he declared, "I am with the white man every time." (Applause.) On motion of Mr. Fishblate, the nomi nation of Messrs. Fennell and Post was made unanimous.

March 19. The Southern Baptist Convention will m?.in Wi'mington May Gth to 11th in" connection with the Baptist Young People's Union, the Woman's Mission ary Union and jhe American Educa tional Society. This means that there will be, for five days at least, 1,000 del egates and from 2,000 to 6,000 visitors in our city. This host of strangers is an answer to the invitation extended' last spring by the board of aldermen, the chamber of commerce, and the Baptist churches, ; and hence they will be the guests of the entire city. The delegates are ,to be entertained free of cost. The Baptists have made a can vass and secured several hundred homes among themselves; but their re sources are inadequate to the task of entertainment, and knowing that the community at large . will gladly take part, this appeal is now issued, ask ing that all our - citizens will throw open-their homes to these visitors and Will assist in caring especially for the' delegates. A committee will call at each house and the citizens are asked to -indicate, first, how many delegates will be received as guests during the session of these bodies. Second, how many can be taken as boarders and at what rate per day. The sessions of the convention will be held in the First Baptist church; notice will be given as to the places, where the other bodies will meet It is hoped that all our peo ple will consider the convention as their own ,and will attend the various meetings.

Blackwell, of Elizabeth City; delivered a very fine address upon the subject of "Oratory ; and Orators." Quite a large crowd had assembled to hear him, and he held them as if by a spell for nearly two hours. The lect ure was brim full of wit and inter sperced with flights of oratory. Many pronqunced it the finest address ever de livered in Wilson. ' Rain has fallen here every day for about two weeks and the farmers are terribly disheartened over the pros TWnta Tt ia nnu- witiiri a nrafilr tt Vi n - time to begin planting the crop, and tttg ground is so wet that ten days fair weather are necessary to get the land in a tillable condition. The tobacco market here has ex ceeded in business the most sanguine expectations. Already 10,000,000 pounds have been sold since the first of last August, and the market is rftill active. No other market in eastern North Car olina comes anywhere near it and no market in the state is much ahead. Regular quarterly examinations have been in progress at the graded school this week.
