LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THayrB Court, Sondar- Before Com-
mifMiomer SbAckleferd
No cases befcre the Mayor on Saturday, and,
of course, the court was off duty, so to speak.
Sunday there was no court held, owing, it was
supposed, to the want of cases. The city is
rery quiet and orderly, and may be considered
on the moral list.
Nkoko RxrcoKEs. There has been for some
time past quite a demand upon the city to take
i m ... . .
CQare 01 neKro "lugees arming here and be,
coming sick, without any money or any other
mean 8 to be taken care of. Many of these
people have died during the past summer, ,and
the city has had to defray the usual and neces
sary burial expenses, until now it has become a
great tax to meet. Two or three, and often
more, die from neglect and want among these
people every week, and to defray these expenses
when the number is increasing rather than di
minishing, by arrivals from the country,, is more
than can be expected from the city under the
present condition of her financial affairs. The
acting mayor has ordered that the matter have
an ending immediately, and very properly so.
These people can go into the country if they
will, and by so doing ratrieve their health, and
not become a burden to an already over taxed
city.
The Excursion. Maj. Gen. Ruger and party
accompanied by Maj. General Crook, lady and
part of his staff, were on a pleasure excursion,
inspection and sight seeing, down the Cape Fear
yesterday. They visited Fort Fisher going and
Fort Anderson on their return, and were much
pleased with the result. They returned late in
the afternoon by the tug McB. Davidson, special
steamer.
Gen. Ruger leaves this morning at 9 o'clock
by special train for Newbern and Morehead
City, and from thence to Raleigh, when it is
thought, after a short rest, he will pay a visit
to the western part of the state.
Uoistebous Conduct. A arum corps, witn a
bugler among them, followed by a few soldiers
and a large lot of yelling contrabands, marched
down market street to Fourth, and thence in the
directipn of the railroad, yesterday afternoon.
The great noise, and the confusion from the
drums and the bugle, were such as to bring to
gether a very anxious crowd to view the scene,
and to learn the cause, who, when informed that
it was a returning funeral escort, went away
satisfied, if not admirers of this style of ending
a sad duty.
The Ciqab Sale. The sale of Havana cigars
by Cronly & Morris auctioneers, was com
menced on Saturday, but withdrawn finally, the
prices obtained for those sold not covering the
duty. The sale was quite a disappointment,
all owingto the crowd knowing too much about
the goods offered. The room was filled to over
flowing, and evidently with many more samplers
than buyers. At one time the smoke was so
dense as to resemble a Cuban church service.
Accommodating. Jno. J. Conoley, esq., the
reeeie of the taxes on real estate under the
late tax law, in company with the town clerk,
have graciously extended the day upon which
taxes will be received until the last working
day in : the present month, which is Saturday
next, the 30th. Parties who may be delinquent
at that time will be compelled to pay double the
amount, or in other words two percent, instead
of one.
Closing Up. Major O. G. Kelsea, the local
special agent of the treasury department at this
place, leaves taday for Washington, where he
is to enter upon other important duties, in a
difterent sphere. This removal closes up the
treasury department here. Most of its business
has been transferred by branches over to the
bureau of freedmen, and the remainder very
properly to the collector of customs.
Religious Ceremony. Rev. Wm. M. Young
officiated in the immersion of a young gentle
man named James C. Stevenson, in the river
opposite South Water street yesterday noon.
There was quite a large crowd in attendance,
who were very quiet and apparently much in-
terested4n the interesting and impressive cere
monies.
Neoro Drowned. Two neero boys were
seen wrestling on the wharf, North Water street,
on Saturday last, when by some manoeuvre they
both fell over into the dock, one of them
- r
striking his head as lie fell against the wharfiog
below, when he sunk and rose no more. The
hod v had not been found yesterday. The other
boy got out safe.
The Stealing Case. The stealing case in
which Mary Eliza Hansley and one Sambo was
sent from the mayor's court before justice Cono
ley, was given a hearing Saturday last, the evi
dence of which was rhot found sufficient for com-
initial and they were discharged.
New Steamer, The steamer Ariadne, one of
the largest and best steamers ever in the trade
between here and Tew York, sailed from that
port on Wednesday last 20th inst., andsrill
likelrrriTe here to-day.
Burial. The remains of Lieut. Robeson,
6th regimeat United iStates colored troops, un
der escort, was deposited in Oakdale Cemetery
yesterday afternoon, until a more favorable time
i for- it. trnsTXHtAtion north.
MUTIM IX A SEGRO REGIMENT.
An Officer and Soldier Killed.
One of the lYIutineers Shot
COMPLETE FARTIUCLAIIS OF THE
WHOLE AFFAIR.
kc, Ac, Ac
The city was startled somewhat on Saturday
afternoon last by a report that had reached here
of a mutiny in the camp of the 37th regiment of
negro troops, stationed in the vicinity of Hilton,
some two miles off, and above Wilmington and
Weldon railroad. The facts are, of course, ex
aggerated, and there are many different stories
told as truth, but the particulars which are here
given are those furnished by Major E.oberts, of
General Crook's staff, who was dispatched to
the camp by the general himself as soon as the
statement of a disturbance reached his ears.
About 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoen some
one discharged a gun in the grounds ot compa
ny 'D," of this regiment, and this being a
breach of discipline, Major Wienmann, com
manding, went into the company personally to
find who was the guilty one. After soaie en
deavor to find the proper man without avail, he
called the company into line and told them they
were there to remain until they volunteered to
tell who fired the gun. He then went off to his
quarters, leaving them standing, but had been
there but a short time before he was informed that
the company had broken ranks and were very
noisy, and disposed towards mutiny. He then
ordered company "A" of the regiment to fall
into line, and buckling on his side arms, he
started with them with the intention of putting
the whole company engaged under arrest. Ar
riving on the front of the company street, he
noticed one man who was in the act of capping
his gun, and who had already his bayonet on it;
he started to him for the purpose of arresting
him, when the negro ran, attempting to shoot
the Major as he did so, and threatening to do so
at every step. The Major -was following him,
his pistol in hand, and also attempting to shoot,
but from some cause the pistol would not fire,
four attempts being made to discharge it with
out effect. About this time another riotous fel
low was noticed, among several others, and some
officer was after him, together with the officer
of the day, Lieut. Mellen, Excitement then be
came high with the mutineers, and they fired sev
eral shots at the Major, pursuing the first riotous
soldier, but fortunately missing him, and also
firing indiscriminately at the party near Lieut.
Mellen, the officer of the day, the first shot of
this discharge entered the Lieutenant's body,
causing his immediate death, and the second
killed a member of the company brought down
to suppress the mutiny. Seeing the result of
their madness, the ringleaders then fled the
camp, and it was again restored to its quietness.
Lirge patrol parties were immediately dispatch
ed after them, but none were overtaken. They
remained out until after nightfall when they re
turned, aud were taken into custody and were
yesterday lodged in the military jail in this city.
They were six in number. No other disturbance
has since occurred at the camp, and the duties
are performed in the usual manner, the major
having no fears of an outbreak of any kind.
Yesterday in bringing the prisoners into the
city for confinement, one of them became rather
insolent in manner and disorderly, when the
officer in charge of the guard drew a pistol and
put it near him and fired, the ball scarcely en
tering the flesh and lodging on the ribs. The
pistol was quite small and of very little mould.
Nothinfurther was heard from any of them on
the route to jail.
Mellea, the officer killed, is a native of Exeter,
New Hampshire, but for some time lived in
Massachusetts. He was said to have been a
very fine officer and an intelligent young gentle
man. He had served in the war since its origin,
and at one time was connected with the 1st Mas
sachusetts infantry.
Various causes are assigned for the disturb
ance spoken of above, none of which are correct.
There was said to be no desire previously shown
to justify the assumption of premeditated muti
ny. They have always been spoken of by know
ing persons, a3 one of the best disciplined negro
regiments in the service, and the action of these
few crazy ones are very much regretted by the
officers particularly.

Odd Fellows9 Convention.
Baltimore, September 18.
The annual meeting of the Grand Lodge
Independent jOrder ot Odd Fellows of the
United States, took place this morning in the
hall of the order, at north Gay street; Grand
Sire Isaac M. Veitch, presiding.
Representatives from nearly all the states
of the union and from, several of the British
provinces were in attendance, and, as this is
UTSl occasion . .Wiium uie paai,, uc yea
when brethren frdm all sectiou of our "widely
extended country mingled together, mutual
congratulations were interchanged, and much
friendly feeling evinced.
The Grand Sire presented his annual report,
in which he, with no ordinary emotions of
pleasure, congratulated his fellow representa
tives at being assembled in another annual
communication ef the supreme grand lodge un
der such peculiar, interesting and auspicious
circa m stances. lie expressed his highest
gratification and rejoicing that he was per
mitted to risit s gain the reDresentatnres of
nearly all the jurisdictions who hare been
precluded from fellowship and communion
with the rtpresen atives for the last four years.
The retrospect for the year furnished abun
dant cause for congratulation that the order
has survived the severe ordeal through which
it has passed, and which threatened to rarperil
its unity, lie refers to his efforts whichwere
successful in reopening communication with
the grand lodges of the various Southern
states. The general condition of these juris
dictions rendered it impossible for thera to
meet the representative tax imposed by the
laws of the grand lodge, and be in thit? cor
respond,ence indicated that this would be
no impediment to the admit&bn of their,
representatives, and that the grand lodge
would generously remit the tax, as was
done in the case of the jurisdiction of
Tennessee, in the year 1863. Reference is
also made to his connection with the
Wildey monument, the formal presentation
of which will be made at this session. Other
matters of interest to the Order were alluded
to by the Grand Sire, who pays a tribute to
the memory of P. G. Sire R. B. Boy 1st on,
of South Carolina, whose death occurred
recently.
The city is thronged with strangers to at
tend the dedicatory displayof "Wednesday,
and every train brings accessions to the
gathering.
