A shooting aflY4y occurred at Lumberton, Rob eson county, on Friday last, the 1st insL, in which a negro man was shot and wounded. It seems Chat the negro was entering the town with a wagon and team, and was in the act of crossing the i bridge over the Lumber' river, when he was hailed by a white man named Benjamin Ivey, who, it appears, was considerably under the influence of liquor. The negro stopped his team, and approaching Ivey entered into conver sation with him, but fearing that his mules would become restive he left Ivey and approached them, when the latter raised a gun which he car ried, and shot him, the load entering his leg. Very fortunately he was only wounded by the discharge; and more fortunately still, no hones were broken, although it is asserted that the en tire load, consisting of bmckshot, took effect. What provocation Ivey received we did not learn; neither did we hear the name of the wounded man. Ivey was brought to this city yesterday, for the purpose of being tried before the proper authorities. smess was transacted then, and the court ad journed over to meet on Wednesday moTning, at nine o'clock. - t To be Mustered Out. The 37th Regt. U. S. colored troops arrived here yesterday. "They are to be mustered out of the service.

Mr. James who keeps a small grocery on the Church and Second streets, was astonished on going into his store on yesterday morning to find his front door open ; and on looking around his premises he perceived that a burglar or burglars had entered the front win dow during the night previous and relieved him of the greater portion of his goods. The thieves prized open the window and as no one was alarmed by their entrance they (as there was ovidently more than one) removed the goods from the store at their leisure. Among the mis sing articles are about one hundred pounds of bacon, a barrel of flour, a lot of sugar and coffee, box Of candles, box of tea. a lot of cigars, soap, candy, &c, the loss amounting altogether to about $200 or $250. It is to be hoped that the authorities will take the matter in hand and succeed in ferreting out the perpetrators of this daring robbery, or else we may expect a fre quent repetition of such offences and finally a state of affairs in our midst which it would be well to guard against in time.

Waldron. situated on Market street, and succeeded in emptying his money drawer of a considerable amount of mo ney, estimated to be in the neighborhood of $100. The theft was perpetrated during the absence of the proprietor, and while a young man, a clerk, was engaged in the rear end of the store with a customer. The thief no doubt had cal culated well his chances, and knew exactly how to proceed, having been, apparently, well in formed as to the precise location of the money drawer. The theft was not discovered until after he had left, and although prompt measures were taken for his apprehension, no clue has yet been obtained as to his identity. NEWS FR0H RALEIGH. Will. A.

A row occurred last night at a negro ball given at the saloon on Nroth Water street, formerly occupied by Fay and Bafferty. A colored man and his wife, both "slightly tight," got to quarrelling together, when another col ored; individual interfered, and matters seemed approaching towards a general war. Fortunate ly the arrival of the police upon the scene put an end to the difficulty. The doors were closed, Washington, Dec in tne str.ate, Air.

In the house, Mr. Colfax was elected speaker over Mr. Brooks, the former receiving 139 votes and the latter 35. All the old officers were re elected, excepting the postmaster, who is Josiah Quin.

We learn that means are about to be employed by the government agents here, for the raising of the sunken steamers which still i encumber the channel of the river. The confederate steamer Yadkin, Commodore Lynch's flag ship, .and the blockade runner North Heath, are both lying under the water within a few miles of Wilmington. In a few days, it is hoped, that oneif not both, of these steamers may be re covered. They are both new vessels.

AFFAIXS IX FLORIDA. A letter from a well informed gentleman in Florida says there is no doubt but that Provis ional Governor Marvin, will be elected United States senator from that state. THE TKRAgCRT DEPABT1CE5T. The report of the secretary of the treasury is completed and placed in the hands of the printer. It is not believed that it will create so much of a commotion in Wall street as some of the specu lators nere seem to imagine. The general finan cial principles enunciated in the secretary's Fort ayne speech will be more elaborated in his an nual report. There is no truth in the intimation that he hints a reduction in internal taxation. THE CTRBESCT. The comptroller of the currency to-dav finish ed his report. It contains some important sug gestions and recommendations. The removal of ' the bureau to New York is also recommended by the secretary of the treasury. The capital of the national banks has been exceeded orne ten millions of dollars. He recommends that it be extended to three hundred and fifty millions, in j order that the southern states may have the ben-' ent of this system of banking. THE WIBZ COMHISSION NOT DISSOLVED. The military commission which tried Captain Wirz is not yet dissolved, and this gives color to the report that it is to be retained with one or two changes, to try Captain R. B. Winder and Duncan, for cruelties to the union prisoners at Andersonville, and Gee for similar conduct at Salisbury. THE INTERNAL REVENUE. Commissioner Rollins to-day completed the internal revenue report, and it is to be at once put in type. It is an exceedingly interesting doc ument, and makes most favorable exhibit of the workings of that important bureau. APPOINTED CONSULS. The following appointments of consuls have been made since the last official list was publish ed, viz : L. D. Merrill, Sydney, Australia, fees ; J. Covell, Prince Edward Island, salary, $1,500 ; R.

General Fullerton, who was sent by the presi dent to New Orleans to adjust the difficulties be tween the military authorities and the inhabit ants concerning the freedmen, returned this j .morning, naving successiuily executed his mis sion. The general reports that the planters are unable to obtain a sufficient amount of labor, and would employ several thousand more freed men than are now in the state. The negros are gradually becoming disabused of the idea, en couraged by mischievous northern men, that they are to receive lands from the government, and are contracting with the planters for the ensuing year. Affairs on the Rio Grande excited very little interest in New Orleans, none there anticipating any serious results from the recently reported collisions between our troops and the French. The citizens of Louisiana are absorbed in re pairing the losses sustained during the war, and take very little interest in political or military movements. Real estate, rents, and all products are commanding high prices, and all branches of business have been resumed with a degree of en ergy unusual in that section. FREEDMEN IN NORTH CAROLINA. Official returns received at the freedmen's bu reau show that of the 10,000 negros sent down Cape Fear river in March, 1865, to Wilmington, by General Sherman, 2,000 died from 17th March to 31st of May, for the want of medical atten tion, which it wasN impossible to afford them at the time. Since the establishment of the medi cal department of the freedman's bureau in North Carolina, the mortality among the freedmen has greatly decreased. OLD CAPITOL PRISON. The highest number of prisoners in the Old Capitol at any one time during the rebellion was 1,004; but according to the official returns to day there are but eleven confined there now. MUSTERED OUT. Orders iust promulgated from the war depart ment direct the muster out of about ten thousand more volunteer troops, consisting of infantry, cavalry and artillery. ASYLUM FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS. An effort has for "some time been making to secure Point Lookout as a temporary asylum for disabled soldiers and seamen. The property has at last been secured. The secretary of war has countermanded the ordered sale of the many cot tages and government buildings erected there, and congress will be asked, at the opening of the all accruing indebiednees, without aevere taxa tion ; the "enactment of laws regulating the la bor system, leaving it to the parties interested to make their own terms; asks that all Impedi ments to free emigration be removed; make needful legislation to suppress secret political as sociations, which are undoubtedly being revived in the state; says provisions hare been made to rebuild the state penitentiary, and erect a state house ; urges the immediate organization of the state militia ; recommends all taxes levied on col ored people tor educational purposes be applied to their education exclusively. He says the president lays great stress on the course of Louisiana, and is anxious that she should take her place in the union. The governor in vites the legislature to unite with the executive authority of the state in giving fresh evidence that Louisiana, is determined to stand or fall with President Johnson in his reconstruction policy. The other parts of the message are purely of local interest. " LATER FROM MEXICO.

New Orleans, Nov. 28. We have further highly important and exciting Mexican news. The Eanchtro of the 19th instant says: Noth ing more has as yet been heard of the liberal forces besieging Matamoros. The Ranchero also reports that a federal'pay m aster, above Brownsville, was murdered by the forces of Cortinas, who fled with thirty-five thou sand dollars belonging to him into Mexico. The Ranchero also says that the amnesty pro posed by the emperor Maximilian has been ac cepted by some of the leaders of the opposition on the Rio Grande. Flake's Bulletin, Galveston, Nov. 19, states that a reinforcement of about 2,000 Austrians and French had arrived at Bagdad, and that General Mejia was fully able to hold Matamoros and keep open communication with Bagdad. The impe rialists have two gunboats on the Rio Grande besides the steamer Antonio, which mounts one gun. Telegraph lines are to be immediately extend ed from the city of Mexico to Guanajutto, Tarn pico and Matamoros. New Orleans, Nov. 29. The Times' Brownsville correspondence of the 15th says: The correspondence between General eitzel and General Mejia culminated m the fol ing order : The Mexican authorities having officially r:oti: fied the commanding general that the Eattchero will be ordered to cease publishing articles in sulting to the United States soldiers, the ieople are hereby ordefed that the officers and soldiers of this command will not allow any ierson on the neutral bank to insult any person on the Mex ican side. All remains quiet around Matamoros. Captain Burrill, United States inspector of sub sistence, made a satisfactory inspection of that department on the Rio Grande. James Sibley and his men are quietly settling down as imperial citizens near Cordova. The fcan Antonio Meraia ol the 13th mst. says a number of imperialists had arrived there, con sidering the liberal cause so desierate in their country that they were compelled to abandon it. The Mexican Times of the 14th ult. gives a fav orable account of the immigration to Mexico, and publishes a list of ex-confederates settled near Cordova. The imperialists claim a victory near Oajaca, where they routed three hundred liberals, killing thirty-seven and capturing sixty-eight. ' fc The lake in the vicinity of the city of Mexico had risen to within an inch of the level of the city, causing considerable alarm. An ex-Confederate had rented a plantation in San Luis Potosi, where he would plant five thou sand acres of cotton. Robbers made a furious attack upon the town of Pamos, in Coahuclen, but were repulsed and suffered a heavy loss. The family of the Emperor was to leave Vera Cruz on the 9th, in an American steamer. jo Cue, iKTK Cora, V Sept. 21, ) Advices from Buenos Ayres to the 11th of Oc tober, and Rio de Janeiro to the 24th, have been received.

FELIK ROMERO. Colonel Grifon Cardenas rejorts also a slight engagement on the 20th of September, near Lniz Gomes, with some five hundred Paraguayans, who lost about twenty men, the Argentines hav ing only one man wounded. He says that, in re venge for this repulse, the Paraguayan corps burnt some thirty villages on their march. AN OUTRAGEOUS IMPOSTURE. Arrest and Escape of the fnil ty Parly. Ac., V. Overboard.

IDLE BUMOBS. Scores of people here believe that General Grant has gone to the Rio Grande. To show how little foundation there is for so absurd a story, we may state that an anxious inquirer at headquarters was informed by a taff officer that the general would be absent two weeks and that his move ments would be so rapid that a letter would reach him nowhere on the route.
