Late yesterday afternoon information was giv en coroner Jno. C. Wood, that a body of a negro girl had been found dead near Kidder's brick yard in the southwestern part of the city su burbs.. It had been reported in the city that the body of a negro man was seen dead in about that locality and an officer went eut to investigate the truth of the rumor. On reaching this place his attention was directed to a number of tracks in a low place of ground. " Following these about in different directions he at last come upon the body of a likely yeung negro girl, laying in some pine undergrowth, on the face, and from the signs about the body it was evident that she had crawied to the place of her death from where the tracks were seen. There were no marks on the body noticed. The clothes were badly torn, and the impression is that she had been foully dealt with. The officer did not recognize the body. A jury is summon ed to hold an inquest over the body, to assemble at 9 o'clock this morning, when it is hoped some thing more yill be learned of the cause of her death. will reassemble t the Unitid States district court room in this city to-daj.

Aug. 26th '151 H.a.yor's Court, ITIondajr before Com miuioner Shackelford. "Dry as a chip," will never express fully the mayor's court to-day. The room was well occu pied by the knights of the club at the opening, and their presence always foreshadows a full docket, and brings up before the eye bright visions of bloody noseband spicy trials. Not, so in the present instance. "All signs fail in dry weather" is an old adage applying very forcibly to the proceedings of to-day. It could not be expected that with all this grandeur spread out before them, and then be disappointed, that re porters should wear the smile upon their coun tenance that an item invariably brings. They hung their lips like a hungry dog at a feast, and one little grumbling fellow was so very indignan t as to mutter out something like "they might have had at least a rogue case, or at the least a drunken one." A few transactions of a private character caused the court to linger, else there would have been a petition for Paul McGreal to give trie balance of "the man in the wilderness." aul has not extraordinary vocal powers, but he can give a little of this, on extra occasions, tol erably well. s Wilmington and Weldon Railroad.

Let's Grumble Again. A general grumble does every one a little good. It is a system es tablished by human nature that woman should talk when, how and as much as she pleases, and in assuming .the privilege it generally partakes for the greater part of fault finding and scolding. (This remark is ironical ladies only put in to Gil up the sentence.) More are allowed the same guarantees to a certain extent when their wives will let them, and now it would be considered wise to show good reason why a newspaper is not to have the same rights granted them as in dividuals. : Certainly they have and as the fellow said when the bear was after him, "clear the track," for here we come, "blast our eyes." .. Then to begin with the ' streets no with the shooting in the streets, the stree ts themselves bein2 above reproach. This practice of shoot ing as was announced a few days since is a grow ing and monstrous evil and circumstances for the last few days are not calculated to improve the first impressions formed about the matter Sab bath night, in hearing of the voice af the min ister holding divine service, was fired no less than twenty-five shots. Last night was no ticeable for the continued firing of guns about in public places. Are these things to continue, and if so how long 1 Until some one is shot it is supposed. No, it must be stopped else the chances of life, while on the street after dark will be as valueless as a confederate shin-plaster. Efforts are being and have been made to suppress it, unfortunately without success, until it is im agined by the parties guilty of the charge, to be one of the rights allowed them, and now as quiet means have failed in the matter, the fable of the boy in the apple tree should be considered, and if tufts of grass will not bring him down stones should be employed. If men will shoot in the streets for fun, endangering the lives of the cit izens, just let the police when they see them shoot at them for fun. Lets see bow the thing will act. A Lazy Complaint.

Build ligs Violently Shaken. Frightful Scenes in the Churches. Some Fifteen Distinct Shocks Extensive Damage to thePublic and Private Properly. Severe ly of the Shock at Santa Cruz. A Gen eral Tumble-down of Chimneys, etc. Sanprancisco, Oct. 8, 1865. At a quarter before one o'cl ock to-day the se verest earthquake ever felt here frightened al most the entire population of the city out of their houses into the streets. During half a min ute there were two tremendous shocks, which caused buildings to rock to and fro in a manner altogether alarming. Services were over ih most of the churches. The large congregation of the unitarean church was being dismissed when the shock sommenced. Ladies srhieked ; all pushed for the doors faster than they could be accommodated with exit. Similar scenes took place at St. Mary's Cathe dral and at some other churches and Sunday schools. The rush was so great from the Cath olic church on Vallejo street that the large doors to the main entrance were carried away, and several persons were injured by being tram bled upon. The walls of many bvildings were cracked in many places, and it surprises evey one that large stately edifices like the Occidental and Cosmo polital hotels, and other buildings of that class were not generally more seriously injured. More or less plastering fell from perhaps half the ceilings of the city. The cornices and fore walls fell from many buildings. The entire front of a four-story brick building just erected""on-Third street fell outward, covering about half of that wide street with fragments. One independently constructed chirfiney of the Lick House fell and crushed throt. -the roof of ' the dining-room, coming down upon the tables and dishes, to the astonishment of the boarders, who were taking lunch. Three of the servants were injured. Two Chinaman were badly injured by the fall ing of a fire wall on Jackson street. The City Hall bell commenced ringing on account of the vibration of the tower. The interior walls of the building were much broken up. Fissures two or three inches wide were opened in the ground in the lower part of the city, where it is made land : and some of this ground was ele vated many inches above its former level. linef accounts from bacramento, Stockton and San Jose represent the shock as the severest ever felt in those cities. It was not felt at Marysville nor at Placerville, but the town of Santa Cruz was shocked with great severity, some brick buildings suffering much damage, and two being destroyed. San Francisco, Oct. 9, 1865. The damage by the earthquake yesterday will amount to a considerable sum in the aggregate, many houses needing new walls, new plastering, and repairing broken window". The Citv Hall is damaged in the front wall to the extent that a portion must be rebuilt at a cost of several thou sand dollars. The old Merchants' Exchange building opposite the Custom House will probably require rebuild ing. No really substantial and well constructed building was , seriously damaged. Santa Cruz felt the shock more severely than any other town in the state. - Several brick houses were so badly damaged that partial reconstruction will be necessary. A despatch from there says there was a general tumble down of chimneys, and those left standing are turned partially around. The motion was apparently from east to west. The grounds along the river opened in fissures, and spouted water like geysers. The people are unable to use some of the wells, which are either dry or filled with mud! A chimney at the powder mills was thrown down, and other injury was done to the works. A portion of the walls of the new hotel was thrown down, but the foundation is still firm. The smash in the drug and other stores was great. Some very narrow escapes from falling chim neys are reported. The tide rose very high at the time of the shock, and fell very low immediately after ard. Ten or eleven distinct shocks were felt since the first shock up to 5 o'clock this morning, as well as a number of slighter visitations. It is estimated that the losses will amount to $10,000, and may exceed that sum. Dates from Honolulu have been received up to the 16th of September. The war steamer Sara nac arrived there on the 6th. Nothing had been heard of the Shenandoah. Important Order from Secretary Well nio Irlore Contributions to be Levied on Workmen in the Xary Yards. TO COMMANDANTS OF NAVY TABD8. Navt Department, ) Washington, October 3. ) Sir : The attention of the department has been called to an attempt recently made in Philadel phia to assess or tax, for party purposes, the workmen in the navy-yard, ft is claimed by those who participated in these proeeelings that the practice has prevailed, in former years, at that and other navy-yards, of levying contribu tions of this character on mechanics and laborers employed by the government. Such an abuse cannot be permitted, and it is the object of this communication to prohibit it wherever it may be practiced. From inquiries instituted by the de partment on the complaint of sundry workmen, who represented that a committee had undertak en, through the agency of tlie masters, to collect I from each of the employees in their respective departments, a sum equal to one day's labor for party purposes, it has been ascertained that there had been received from the workmen, tefore these proceedings were arrested, the sum of $1, 052. This and all other attempts to exact money from laborers in the public service, either by com pulsion or voluntary contribution, is in every ' point of view, reprehensible, and is wholly anil absolutely prohibited. Whatever money may have been thus exacted, and is now in the hands of the masters, will be forthwith returned to the workmen from whom it was received ; and any master or other appointee of this department who may be guilty of a repetition of this offense, or who shall hereafter participate in levying contri butions in the navy-yards from persons in the government service for party purposes, will incur the displeasure of the department and render himself liable to removal. The organization of the yard must not be perverted to aid any party. Persons who desire to make voluntary party con tributions can find opportunities to do so at ward or other local political meetings, and on other occasions than during working hours. They are neither to be assisted or opposed in this matter by government officials. The navy -yards must not be prostituted to any such purpose, nor will committee-men be permitted to resort thither to make collections for any political patty whatever. Workingmen and others in the service of the government are expected and required to devote their time and energies, during working hours, and while in the yard, to the labor which they are employed t ) execute. It has also been represented that some of the masters at some of the navy-yards employ extra hands preceding warmly-contested elections, and that much of the time of tKese superfluous hands is devoted to party electioneering. Such an abuse, if it exist in any department of any of the navy-yards, must be corrected. No more per sons should be retained in the navy-yards than the public service actually requires. Party gath erings and party discussions are at all times to be avoided within the yards. It will be the duty of the commandants of the respective yards, and of all officers to see that this order is gbeyed. Very restectfully, Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy. southern dioceses, are emlaring imrecedefl prhrmtion; and TCkeiya, The parishes lying within these dio ceses are in many instance likely to be deprived of the services of the church, because of their inability to sustain those who minister to them in holy things; and T Jfhertat, By the casualties of war many houses of worship have been dismantled, and the ma chinery of the church so deranged as to deprive large communities of those gospel privileges which they had so long enjoyed; therefore, Remlrtd.

We are informed on most unquestionable au thority that a decided and undoubted case of Asiatic cholera, with a fatal result, has occurred in Southampton. The victim was a man named Rose, about 30 years of age, residing in Brew house court, Brew-house lane, who died on Sun day, about thirty-six hours from his first attack, A Homeric Hero on the Southern White. From the New York World of the 7th. There are persons whom it may surprise to be informed of any resemblance between Sir. Horace Greeley and the heroes of Homer. None of those heroes were vegetarians certainly, for tliey commonly ate no small part of a bullock at their breakfast; none of them wore a white hat, unless the crest of Hector, which frightened the young Astyanax into a fit of screams, may be so accounted; and, while many of them are commended for their devotion to horse-breeding, we have no mention. of prize turnips, as exhib ited by any of the princes who sailed with Aga memnon. But one trait, common to all these illustrious smiters and slayers, excepting the gentle and gracious son of Laodamia, shines with such con spicuous lustre in the columns of the Tribune as to lead us to make no doubt that Horace Greeley, had he been lucky enough to have lived thirty centuries ago on the shores of the Egean, would have found himself quite at home-in a brazen hemlet and a scaly coat of glittering mail, slash ing off the heads of the Lycian auxiliaries upon the "Ringing plains of windy Troy." Whenever one of these antique men of might had made his foeman bite the dust he forthwith proceeded to heap upon the fallen all the ill names he could lay his tongue to ; to exult over him, to drag him about in the dust and mud, and gene rally to use him worse than a dead dog. Precisely in like manner we now see the victo rious Tribune dealing with the defeated rebels in the south. In an article on the "Poor Whites of the South," for example, the Tribune first professes an extreme anxiety .as to the disposition which should be made of the said "poor whites," and immediate ly proceeds to belabor them as the very scum and offscouring of the earth, available, if for anything, only as a sort of human compost and social muck heap. The negros, poor dear intelligent souls, the Tribune tells us, are positively mad to learn, to enlighten their minds, to climb upward to the light. Hoe cakes, Johnny-cakes, banjos, crab fishing all are cast aside by these frenzied "Americans of African descent," in their feverish thirst for spelling-books and primary treatises on arithmetic The children who trooped after the Pied Piper of Hamelin were nothing to it. "Everywhere." the Tribune hears : The negros are flocking to school; tottling children, mothers with their babes at their breasts, working men after their day's toil is over, aged nnt.;.i.!hn nnH wViif r.ho?xlfH hi inlnm.ii tin. rr be seen pOfis CTtLUilr ''primers wherever the teachers of the Freedman's Aid Societies are sta tioned. They learn with wonderful rapidity. This is the uniform report from Louisiana and Vir ginia, Irom Tennessee and the Carolina. Their eagerness to learn has been described as "almost a disease. There is no checking it, no controlling it; it is as fierce as a fever at its height." Meanwhile, what are the poor whites about ? Sitting, the Tribune assures us, "in a dreary si lence, broken only by the report of a musket shot as a murdered freedman falls !" This is the sole occupation of the "poor whites," and who can wonder at it when he learns from the Tribune what manner of creatures these "poor whites" are. '"Stolid, apathetic, listless, lazy, inert, ab ject," are the most flattering adjectives which the Tribune can find for them. "Every where," ex claims our Homeric friend, "adulterous misce genation, incestuous marriages, indiscriminate and univer sal impurity are found hand in hand with a stolid stupidity, a listless hope lessness, and a darkness of mind of which, hap pily, the north knows nothing but by report." These are the men, remember, whom our armies have been fighting, and who, having laid down their arms in honorable surrender, are now at our mercy. W e nope our brave soldiers will be gratified to hear that it has taken them four years to get the better of a horde of listless, lazy, stolid, abject, incestuous miscegenators, dolts, oafs and gorillas. That there may be no doubt on the subject, the Tribune calls to its help a certain Mr. M. D. Con way, formerly of Virginia, now of London, who, it seems, has published a book in England to prove that nine-tenths of his fellow citizens of Virginia " padpers " jst this pleasing class "more wretched in soul anybody than the worst popu lation of Seven Dials and Bethnal Green." Tan this be the same Mr. Conway who wrote a letter to Mr. James Mason saying, " m the name of the American abolitionists," that if the Richmond ! government would abolish slavery, they, the abo ; litionists, would put a stop to "the war for the ! Union, and compel Mr. Lincoln to recognize the I Southern Confederacy! j j Whoever he may be, the Tribune needed no ! help, in the way of vituperation, from him or ! anybody else. From Thersites down to Judge Jeffreys no rougher side of a tongue ever licked i the sore of a Lazarus. Of course there is a motive deeper than a mere Homeric rage in all this. It is the glamor of : "negro suffrage'' which dictates this awful pic- "VVuat The followiog, which we clip from 'theJEW-cj, oh Times of the 23d ult., may b of interest to 1 " many of our readers : , On the 10th, a public exhibition, took place at the engine works of Messrs.
