The ca$e we mentioned yesterday morning
wherein Mr. Sanders was fined ten dollars for
committing a nuisance and fifty-dollars for
threatening a police officer, , was reconsidered
this morning and both the fines were remitted.
Aaielancholy instance of what whiskey will
do for a woman came before the mavor ves-
terday morning. Miss Selina Smith, of the
universal family, was brought to the eity prison
in a cart, and Miss Selina Smith was duly con
victed and sentenced to pay a fine of fife dollars.
She had in the meantime indulged tbe neigh
bors with a succession of screams that intimated
her hysterical condition and apprised ihem of
the fact that she was decidedly a drunken cae
It must be remembered by those individuals
inclined to trespass the city's laws and ordinan
ces. that interfering with a policeman in the ex
ercise of his duty, is one of the most punishable
cases that can arise, and if the policeman thinks
proper to notice that you are going it too strong
or making more noise than is necessary, and
tells you so, it is not expected that you will im
mediately knock the aforesaid policeman down.
The individual who made himself busy trying
that game on Sunday evening had to pay $5 00
this morning for his presumption.
Robert Waddell and Scipio Sullivan went into
the beef business pretty extensively. They
were employed to take some beef down to the
ice house but as we arrived at the truth of the
affair Waddell and Sullivan deposited one quar
ter of beef in the river and there is no knowing
what they did with the other. They were
thought fit candidates for the pro70st court, and
thence they were both sent to jail.
Bolivar Taylor, unaware of the consequences
that would arise, thought proper to drink. with
bare arms from the palms of his hands, out of
Rookspring. A policeman thought he was in
dulging in a bath, and arrested him. The
mayor after understanding his case discharged
him.

leaving him and going to work at making tur

John Gilchrist, colored, hired a house of an
individual , who was a freeholder, and paid
him in advance rent of ($22) twenty two dol
lars. The house is occupied by an ordnance
officer, and the proprietor refuses to make any
remuneration to Gilchrist for the occupation of
the same by an outsider.

planation. The Probate or Cottnty Court. This court
commenced its sessions yesterday under the ju
risdiction of the following magistrates: Jame3
Shackleford, Chairman; ' 8. D. Wallace, James
Colvin, A. H. VanBokkelen, A. A. Hartsfield,
H.'T. Murphy .and T. J. Armstrong. It is con
vened for the purpose of settling important
private and public matters that have arisen in
the community since the return to the union of
North Carolina. The difference . bet ween the
old county court and the present court is this:
that the former court had a trial "by jury to de
cide either civil or criminal actions that came
before it, but the provisional government has
made no arrangements for any lesser CQuj& pan-
nelling a jury, consequently
trial in proper order, before
cases nvtist await
the Superior and
supreme courts.
The following appointments were made by the
court to-day:
Richard W. Nixon was appointed county so.
licitor, vice A. M. Waddell, resigned.
The chairman was authorized to raise by sale
of bonds or otherwise $5,000, for use of the
poor of the county.
Thos. W. Player was appointed inspector f

Jno. C. Milliswas appointed constable for the

A Nuisance. The government stables on
Dock street have been complained of by Ihe
familes adjacent. The lot has not been drained
off, and the accumulation of filth in the ground
occupied by the government employees has pre
vented the drainage of the lots adjoining. In
this government lot they have suffered the
weeds to grow in an exceedingly disagreeable
profusion, thereby causing a smell carrying in
its odor noxiousness and disease.
Ordmance Stores. From the principal ord
nance officer at this military station we learn
that all ordnance stores at this place are being
shipped as fast as practicable to Hilton Head,
S. C, where the government intends instituting
an arsenal.
Interments. The number of interments in
Oaklale Cemetery for the week ending the 9th
instant, were five, viz: with typhoid fever, 1;
accidenaliy killed, 1; diseases not given, 3.

Sir Late intelligence from America, of the

this note.
As soon as it was known in Europe that the
war in the United States was ended, by the
final surrender of all the confederate forces in
the field, immediate measures were taken by
the proper coniederate authorities here to ar-
rest tne cruise or tnat snip, uy oroers issueu

t ensure their 6peedy and certain delivery to

Tne Cholera.
THE CHOLEKA IN TURKEY.
Constantinople, Aug. 11.
There is no longer any doubt as to the na
ture of the epidemic which is ravaging the
metroDolis and its neitrhborins villages. Chol-
era in its worst form is now raging', carrying
off daily, with scarcely any warning5, its hun
dreds of victims, and such is the panic among
the residents that it is fearful to contemplate
the consequences if it continues much longer.
Business of all kinds is almost entirely sus
pendedx Hundreds ;ire flying in all direc
tions, and it is estimated that as many as 150,
000 persons have left Constantinople, princi
pally hamals (porters) and domestic servants.
It is chiefly among the poorer classes that
this dreadful scourge has, up to the present
time, committed such havoc. In the crowded
and filthy habitations of the Jews, among the
Galata poiters, and now in the ctowdtd quar
ters of Stamboul, they are dying faster than
I uey can bury them. Nor can the h therto
r -1 i ii .. ?u i ii. . n I
considered saiuunous vinages oi me ooispuu
rus escape ; one after another they are swept
by the pestiferous malady. Therapia, tbe
summer residence of the elite of" our society,
has been particularly afflicted, so that it is now
quite deserted ; many who had fled there for
safety have rushed to other places, to be again
driven forth, as one after another the different
villages become infected. In fact, such a
cowardly panic exists that were it not so se
rious in its f onsequences it would be ludic
rous. At Therapia the dead and dy ng were
left by their aflrighted friends, who fled as
soon as the poor creatures were attacked ; ano
the noble courage disp ayed by some of tbe
gentlemen of the Lnglish Lmbassy, who, amiJ
the panic, searched out and attended the dy
ing and the dead, is beyond all praie, minis
tering with their own hand to the wants ot
the dying ones, and searching out those left
unburied. As many a fitty bod'es were
found thus deserted. In some cases the doc
tors nave refused t visit the patients afflicted
with cholera, but I must give the , rest cr-dit
for the noble devotion they have displayed in
this trying emergency. Many have iuvcumb
ed to the disease and the fatigue entailed upon
them. To the government, also, great praise
is due for the strenuous efforts it is making
to arrest the malady and assist the afnicied ;
in some cases nobly supported by public
chanty the Free Masons especially, having
at their own expense established ambulance
hospitals and free dispensaries but with all
these efforts many districts are entirely with
out medical assistance of any sort. In the
crowded haunts of Scatari they are dying in
hundreds, entirely uncalled for, with no raed
icines. and no doctors to help them. Among;
our small English community we have to de
plore the loss of many a well remembered facf ,
which is not surprising, considering the place
most of the engineers inhabit (a dirty village
near the arsenaf and Cassim Pasha,) in which
place the disease first declared itself;
All the government works are' suspended
and disorganized. kThe Arsena)t Topuaha,
&c, are quite deserted. The public o ces
tare also almost entirely closed, tko -custom
nouse being onjj open two hours a day. In
fact, uch is the scarcity of labor caused by
the detertion of the hamaU (porters,) that
ships have great difficulty in unloading and
taking ia cargoes. The once busy streets of
Galata are quite deserted, shops and offices
closed and business of all kinds quite bus pen
de !. I have no doubt tbe epidemic has been
nruch aggravated by the abject fear of the in
habitants, combined with the too free use of
ardent spirits, of the worst description, which
many indulge in at the present time, and the
unusual heat which now prevails. At Stnyr
na the malady still continues its ravages, and,
if possible, the disorganization of that place
is worse than Constntinople. At Bey rout,
ai, anu mosi oi me towns in tne ievant, tne
disease is committing fearful ravages; in fact,
to such an extent that the whole of the em
pire is perfectly demoralized. In Wallachia
and Moldavia the panic is eureadincr. althoucrh
by the l.st accounts the disease had not de
clared itself; the inhabitants were all ready
or a bolt on its first appearance. At Soulina
a few eases have occurred, entirely shutting
up an business; snips are detained waiting
for their cargoes, which the lighUrs refuse to
bring down the river With all this excite
ment you will readily understand that ery
lttle attention is devoted to politics or specu
lations. The noisy Bourse, with its ciowd of
.ager gamesters, is quitedeserted ; Wen the
conversion scheme is postponed une die. 1
am happy to say there has been a diminution
in the number of deaths the last two davs.
a d it is hoped that we have seen the worst
of this terrible affliction.
THE CHOLERA AT SMYRNA.
Her Britanic Majesty's Consul (Robert "W.
Cumberbatch) writes thus from Smyrna on

"We are doing nit we can to keep the peo
ple from starvation ; the distribution of food
is becoming more general. I keep about 2e0
old women and men, or sick, to feed in my
garden,, as they cannot stand the rush of the
mob ; but my own resources are limited. It

no urgent demands on your charity, lor God s

The special correspondent of the France,

Matamokas, August 14.
To-day I had a long talk on tba other side
of the r.ver, with Gen. De Leon of the liberal
pany, and from him gathered some interest -ing
news in regard to the position and wants
of the party.
De Leon is one of the few men who have
stood by the liberal cause in good faith; and
his position jib governor of the state of Ta
mauhpas entitles his words to respect.
lie says that the wants of his party are
now so urgent mai unless tneyare met in some
way, the cause will be lost. The time has
come for the United States to aid the party,
or if they do not see fit to go to war now.
there will be no party to aid when they think
the time has come to lend assistance. In thi?
way argues (ien. De Leon, and the state of
affairs in Mexico show his words to be true.
The wants of the liberal party are very ur
gent. They have no m'oney, arms, ammuni
ion, clothing, and even provisions. The last
want is so mu h felt: that larg bodies'of men
cannot keep the field. It is only by entreaty t? J!' , A ,mP"cUcfable;
.t u A:... .ia u Jl.iu J They were sometimes two days without water.
short neriods. De Leon told the Irfter that
he and others had to beg them, by all they
held dear, to keep together, and that he has
seen the men lying on the ground moved to
tears by the words ut their leaders.

This is the total force that can be said to be
acting under the orders of the government
me nrsi ox vnee corps in importance is mat
of Gen- Negrete, which holds the state of Chi
buahua; and the second is that of Gen. Gar
cia? which operates in the Sot Verita that
is, from Vera Crux to Tabasco. ' He bas a hard
task before him. being encoapassed by feodiea
of Fiench troops -
there are a number of bodies ox men woo
make war in the name of the liberal govern
ment, but will not obej orders from any' one.
The chiefs of these men ought, De Leon said,
to be hanged, that their men might be brought
into regular commands. ; r
TBI ADMINISTRATION
is now formed of an executive and three min
isters only. Here if the list: President, Ben
ito Juarez; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lerdo
de Taxada- Minister of the Treasury, J. M.
Iglesias; Minister of War, Miguel Negrete.
The seat of government is in the state of
Chihuahua, about 500 miles from here, and
it is covered by the corps of Gen. Negrete, to
which the smaller body with tbe President
could b added in case of attack.' Tbe seat
will be safe for some time, as the enemy have
no disposable force to push north of the San
Juan river. They have to hold Cannargo
and Monterey in strong force.
It takes thirty days to communicate with
the seat of government from here, and the
utmost trust has to be placed in the faith of
the courier. v , i .
GKX. CARVAJAL
was, some time ago, sent by President Jaaret
as an envoy to the United States, with full
powers to enter into terms with public or pri
vate parties for aid to Mexico He carried
with him blank forms, signed by the Presi
dent, for every purpose. This officer is, I am
told, looked for daily, and then it will be
learned how far he bas met with success in
his mission.
THE NEW RAILROAD.
It is now settled that the new road to the
cast is to run to a port named Carbonero,
which lies at the mouth of the San Fernando
river, about 45 miles to the! south of the Rio
Grande, The line of railroad will be about
70 miles long, and the road seems to me to be
a set-off against our. road from Brazog to
Brownsville.
FETES.
To-morrow will be that of the French Em
peror. It is to come off, say the papers, with
eclat, and the French naval forces off the Bo
ca, are to play a great part in the fetes by
making a great noise with their guns, and
raising a vile stink with their powder. ice
I'Empereur cries Le Commerce. "It is to him
Mexico leok8 for regeneration."
Senor Robles is going down to the Boca to
attend the fete.
SPECKS OF TAB,
About 2 A. M. to day a dash was made by
a small body of men, under the orders of Cor-,
tinas, against a point of the defences of. this
city. It was easily repulsed. , The firing in
the dark was very brLk.
Commandant Neas, with his special arm of
mounted rifles, has marched upon Cadezeita.
A fight between him and a part of De Leon's
force is looked for.
In the en irons of Tabasco there has been
a little fighting, ending in Jonuta being taken
by the imperial force.
The good faith of some of tbe chiefs on
both sides is not worth the ashes of a cigar.
