HE SHOOTS AT THE ROBBERS AND WOUNDS ONE OF THE NUMBER. About nine o'clock last night a gang of seven or eight negros entered the shop or store of a Mr. Blossom, on Fifth street, near the Methodist church; with the avowed purpose of robbing. Mr. Bl6ssom was behind the counter at the time they j entered, and they immediately fired upon him with pistols. He ran from the front to the back jroom, and while he was away they robbed the money drawer of its contents, and probably carried off some articles. Just as they were leaving, Mr. Blossom returned to the front of the house and fired upon them with a pistol some two or three times, wounding one of the number. The rubbers seized hold of the wounded oue and bore him away. Some four or five shots were fired-al together. These are the circumstances as related by a party! who was at the store shortly after the oc currence. It is not known what damage they otherwise did or anything relating to who they are. !

General Manifestations of Among the Citizen . Joy The steamer Euterpe, as was hoped, arrived here yesterday afternoon about one o'clock, hav ing rode the gale safely and without any accident whatever. The particulars of her trip since leav ing New York are given by one of her passen gers. The steamer Euttrpt left the port of New York on Saturday the 21st inst. at half-past three o' clock, p. m., with upwards of sixty passengers on board, and a good freight, bound for Wil mington. Up to Monday evening there was a calm sea and the passage pleasant. About fire o'clock, p. m., and when within some six or seven hours run of Fort Caswell, a north-easterly gale set in, and continued with such violence that the ship was compelled to put to sea. During Tues day the gale continued, and the sea was so heavy that it was almost impossible to hope for deliv erance. Everything looked gloomy; the waves tossing the vessel to and fr, and with but two or three exceptions, besides the. crew, all the pas sengers were sick. 'She continued along the coast, not knowing in what direction going all the day of Wednesday, and on Wednesday night came to anchor in sight of Deaufort harbor. Thursday morning she again headed for Wil mington. The storm had abated, and she ar rived outside at night, where she continued until yesterday at twelve, when she cross ed the bar, had arrived here at about one o'clock. The general description of this passage is ter rible. There was not a, time when any of the passengers thought themselves safe. Fortu nately nothing was lost, or even injured, and the steamer is in every respect the same as before leaving New York. A horse belonging to M. McMinnis died on the passage, and was thrown overboard. The greatest manifestations of joy greeted the Euterpe and her gallant captain and crew, as well as her doubly precious freight, upon her arrival at the wharf. So cheering and unlooked for was it that many who' had given her up were slow to realize the fact of her arrival. The passengers speak in the highest terms of commendation of her gallant captain and officers, as well as the crew, all doing their duty and al ways at their post during these terrible bdurs of suspense between life and death. They are well worthy of it, and will be ever remembered by the travelling public hereafter. test, or else women and children would vote.

In one respect they are alike, for both have risen in the world by their own exertions. But in another respect they are very different. Colonel BiBy Wilson is a Knickerbocker colonel who fights, and Colonel Henry Wilson is a Massachu setts colonel who don't fight. You would enjoy this joke as much as we do if you could have seen the senator from Massa chusetts strutting down Broadway at the head of his men just after the opening of the war. He was dressed in a bran-new uniform, his tarjie the rail s of a late fire, badly wounded, several of whom died subsequently. A number of bo dies are still buried beneath the rubbish.

Two bases were pushed into notice and the news papers to-day, and both of the Atnericanut Afri canui persuasion. Stealing. The first one was charged with hav ing ai tendency to finger the profits of Mr. Henry Brerujer without that gentleman's permission, and that too without having a dollar's capital invested in his business." Bremer of course did not like to permit such a precedent to a race prone to taking such liberties, and therefore had him ar rested by the police and locked up in the city guard house, lest there would be a greater de mand upon his establishment at some future time. The fellow's name was given as George Gillespie, and he was sent back to prison, not because his name was George, but simply because he was a thief; He will probably remain there for a sea son, or at least until time and short rations pay for his imprudence in being caught in a bad act. Yet Anotlur. Simon McNair, the number two to-day. but number one thousand, more or less, on tle docket, was also arraigned for stealing, or appropriating an axe belonging to the blacksmith shopsof Mr. Beach on Water street. Simon reg isters from Robeson county, and was no doubt raised as honest as a darkey could be, but un fortunately he has found bad associations and bad associations led him to steal and compelled his honor to place liim in the cell for a week on bread and water. When be gets out he should be furnished with a copy of Dr. Franklin's story of "an axe to grind." It may profit him greatly. L A Merriman, N C.

An innocent person like myself would have supposed that be was going to conquer the whole rebellion single handed. The newspapers, including even the democratic press, praised and puffed hhn for his valor and printed all his speeches. When he 1 clanged his sword about as he dashed up and ; down the Astor House steps, it really seemed as ! if Lee must surrender at discretion the moment the fighting senator appeared. - Amid the waving of flags and the cheers of the people Wilson started for the seat o war; but he never got any further than Washington. His regiment went ahead but he did not. He sold out his uniform -I and commission very cheap, and came sneaking back in citizen's dress in less than a week. Bet ter for him to have bravely stopped a bullet and died an honorable death. As Wendell Phillips says of the republican party so I may say of Wilson, that there is nothing left of him but a ghost stalking about the country in its shroud. The perils of the sea have been vividly recall ed to us by the wreck of the stamer Atlwta, from New Orleans, on Sunday morning last, about threehundred miles south of Sandy Hook. The Atlanta stalled from New Orleans on the 7th instant, with a cargo of cotton and seventeen passengers. On the night of the 12th, a hurri cane from the west began to blo', and on Fri day morning, the 13th, the steamer sprang a leak. The captain, crew and passengers behaved well, and the pumps were kept working steadily through Friday and Saturday. On Saturday night the water gained so rapidly as to put out the fires, and the vessel, being no longer eon trolled by her engines, lost steerage way. The captain then ordered the boats to be lowered. The life-boats were quickly filled, a woman and child being put in first. They pushed away from the steamer, and immediately capsized, not one of their freight being saved. Four sailors then got out the small life-boat, but it drifted away from the vessel and could not be regained. The un fortunate survivers now awaited their fate witli calmness and reliance upon God. On Sunday morning, at eight o'clock, the vessel broke up into three pieces, leaving only the amidships, about thirty feet long, afloat. Numbers were washed overboard and drowned. The captain was last seen clinging to a cotton bail. Five sur vivors remained upon the part of the vessel still afloat, and for two days and a half they suffered the torments of cold, hunger and thirst. At last the bark William E. Anderson picked them up and brought them safely to this port. About forty lives were lost. The value of the cargo was half a million of dollars, and of the vessel one hundred and fifty thousand. Theatrical matters are reviving. John Brorrjfh am came home on Thursday from England. Grau has engaged a new opera troupe of fifty performers who are expected here soon. A new French theatre is being built. A new minstrel hall will shortly be opened by Gsorge Christy. Bauvard, the painter of panoramas, is getting up a new museum to supersede Barnum's. De Walden's play of : Sam," in which Chaufrau ap pears, is drawing the largest houses at the Broad way theatre. Mr. J. S. Clarke is still playing " Our American Cousin " at Winter Garden. The Ravels are at Niblo's. Wallack advertises a new comedy called " The Needful." A negro wonder, called Blind Tom. is flourishing under J tle patronage of the Herald. This black boy is a musical prodigy. He looks like an idiot, but plays the piano like a master. Recently he has taken up the cornet-a-piston, and his performan ces upon that difficult instrument are also sur prising. He plays tunes with his back to the piano. Let any pianist perform an old scientific bit of music or a new improvisation, and Blind Tom will sit down at the piano and play it after him, note for note, by ear alone. This negro is creating a great sensation here, but in England, where they worship anything black, lie will cause a furor. The man who has hired him from his parents for a small sum is rapidly making a for tune out of him ; for he is truly one of the won ders of the age. Of strictly local news there is absolutely noth ing. You would haidly be amused by the reports of our police courts, and you probably have about as much of the eclipse as we did. There has been another wife-murder, but it is of the most commonplace, vulgar sort. The gold medal which Congress voted to Commodore Vanderbilt for giving his big steamer to the government is nearly ready. On the one side is the Commo dore's bust, and on the other is an allegorical re presentation which, as a matter of course, no one can understand. The inscription is simpiy : a grateful country to her generous son ! The medal is to be of pure gold and will weigh six ounces. Only two copies are to be made, one for Mr. Vanderbilt and the other for the library of Congress. Talking of gold medals reminds me that gold is still quoted at 146- Cotton is lower and irregular. Whiskey is firmer. The money market is is as tteht as a brick, and nearly everything is down a little. The weather is magnificent, but cool. The city is not quite so crowded as it was. You rich people-from the outside districts who come here to spend money, don't stay very long. The hotels only four dollars and a half a day, with extras in proportion! It costs you about five dollars to take a lady to the theatre, to 6ay nothing of the ten dollar supper that you ought to give her afterwards. For myself. I think of removing to Wilmington.

In order to be thoroughly able to post the public in regard to the mines, your correspond- ! ent has just made the trip, and enjored a per sonal examination of the whole ground. The gold is not found in its native state, as in California, but in Iron and copper pyrites, as in Idaho. It is in bright sparkling quartz veins, from three inches to ten feet in width, and extends for miles the amount, in fact, being almost unlim ited. These quartz veins pass through immense beds of talcose slate, of much beauty and value, be ing considered, for whetstones and hones, almost unequaled. Surface quartz from these veins has been as sayed at the mint in Philadelphia, and by Pro fessor Kent, of New York, and pronounced in both instances to average over thirty dollars of gold to the ton. It these veins increase in richness as they de scend as is almost always the case in Idaho and California it is reasonable to suppose tliat they will soon yield a profit of fifty or sixty dollars to the ton. The yield of the quartz rock on the Pacific coast varies from two dollars to three hundred per ton, but the best paying mines average less than twenty-five dollars per ton. The lowest average yield that can be worked to a profit in that new country, (where wood, provisions and machinery all command fabulous prices), is six dollars per ton which is the case of the Josephine mine on the Mariosa claim, later)' owned by John C. Fremont. The land in the vicinity of Vermilion lake is heavily wooded ; fuel can be had for the mere cutting, and the South Vermilion river offers a water power about half a mile above the lake, of great beauty and of immense power. The lands in the vicinity of the mines are un surveyed, and can for the present only be se cured by scrip, which has had the effect of rais ing the Chippewa from eighty-five cents to four dollars, and Sioux from two and a half dollars to twelve dollars per acre. ment, as leading to a breach of the foreign en tistment let?1 If England choose to be angry sb would have a gTeater reason to complain of the American position as nentrals in the Fenian movesaeoW than the Americana had in regard to tb British position, toward the Confederacy ; in- asmoch as the Fenian plot was formed in America by Ajxricaa citjien. sThe Timet admits that the American Government has acted fairly, notwith standing .that the fillihustering. plots of her dti teni are to numerous." a Xt Cholera in Kfl Los Dos, Oct. 16.

Special Despatch to the Public Ledger.) t Washington, Oct. 19, 1 hear that the counsel of Jefferson Davis has expressed a desire that his client be accorded immediate trial. The desire comes originally from Davis, who it is said, has declared that he has " no fears for the issue," and that, therefore, the government will do him a great favor by ar raigning him at the earliest possible moment. Tn this connection I will sav that the recent favorable change in his every-day life was main ly the work of the president, and at this hour he has almost everything that he could ask save lib erty itself and the presence , of his family about him. , From Charleston 1 New York, October 21.

All the correspondence on the subject, together with the project, was to be submitted to the king of the Belgians, as arbiter. The documents show that up to February, . 1864, the Spanish minister at Washington liad re ceived no power or instructions to execute the'' treaty proposed by the United States concerning the maratime jurisdiction. The negotiation, therefore, remains in abeyance. The Marquis of Milaflores, in the November preceeding, informed out minister at Madrid that the draft of the con vention had been examined, and tliat he had af terwards suggested some very slight modifica tions, calculated to make the nature of the ques tion still plainer. The marquis remained in office until the middle of January following, and he never gave Minister Koerner the least intima- mation as to any change of his views on the sub ject. Mr. Koerner said he should take the first opportunity to ascertain whether the omission to send instructions was merely accidental, or owing to a change of policy. Secretary Seward, in a letter to him, dated June 3, 1864, says: " This government has no interest or other motive' for urging upon the government of her Catholic ma jesty any diligence in regard to the treaty for the settlement of the limits of the maratime juris diction of Spain in the raters of Cuba." In a letter of Secretary Seward to Minister Koerner, dated November 23, 1863, he says : T. iAIm .1 A. 11 - IT . m r. w iuio uuuiuuj uist me uniiea states nave stirred up and are giving aid to the revolutionary movements now1 occurring in the island of San Domingo, would not be thought worthy of no tice if it had not been presented to me by Mr. Tassara.
