OUR CITY.
Mortality in Wilmington. The books
the Secretary f Oakdale Cemetery Com
ay show the following number or inter
:nt3 fpr January, together with , the dis
323 of which the persons so interred died:
;om Jock-jaw, 1 ; nervous affection, 1 ; in
imatioQ of the bowels, 1 ; congestive chill,
; jchild bed, 1 ; lung disease, 1 total, 6.
f.this number one was brought from Fay
leville for interment here; two were in
ks' aged from eight days to three years,
J two adults ' whose ages varied from
rty-ntn'e to seventy-six years. .. . ' 1 V;
From the Secretary of the Pine Forest
olored) Cemetery, we learn that daring the,
onth there were but four interments made
ere two of adults and two of children.
: will be therefore seen that with ten inter
ents, (the body of tn9 white person 5 hav
3 been brought here if rom another place
r burial) there have actually been but nine
aths within the limits of this city during
3 month of January. V
Reckoning therefore that our city now
jntains a population of 14,000 souls, this
.st record for January shows but one death
er month in every 1555 inhabitants, or but
ae per year in every 130 persons,
f Is. there a city in the world that can show
j, proportional equal ?
The Value of Cotton. We have taken
he trouble to look over several of our late
:xchanges for the market reports which they
contain, for the purpose of comparing them
vith our own. We give the result below,
md we think that it proves conclusively,
.hat our own is a far better market for pro
luee than can be found at any other seaport j
Dr inland commercial town within the State.
The Bulletin gives the following report of
.he Charlotte markets : ; : ,
- ft , T . January 30, 1868.
COTTON. The sales of cotton to-day
-mounted to 158 bales, at from p to 12 J cts.
' or middling, some choice lots br6ught as
igh as 12$ cts. but the ruling figure was
JJ. The market closed brisk. t
From the IIerql of the' 1st we get the
ITewbern quotations: " "
Corn ; per bushel $1,15 ; cotton in bale
And froin tije Sentineloi the 1st the follow
ing estimate ofj the Raleigh cotton market:
Cotton brisk, on account of foreign ad
vices.; sold, to-day, at 12f to 12$.
In Wilmington, on Saturday last Cotton
vas worth 17J ctf., Corn $1 30 and " spirits
terpentine 53 cts. per gallon.

fronaNew Orleans to the effect that the ball clubs
oT that city had I appointed a committee of ar
rangements for the j reception of the Atlantics,
and had secured inclosed grounds for the! series
of matches to be played, and were now awaiting
information in regard to the date of the Club's
leaving New York,and the time of their stay, be
fore publishing the programme of the grand base
ball tournament with which they propose to cel
ebrate the visit of the Atlantics to their city.
The New Orleans papers refer to their anticipat
ed arrival a quite an event in the -history 01 the.
game, and the Club; may fully look forward to the
most hospitable and enthusiastic welcome they
have ever received on a tour of the kind.) , They
nought to arrange it so as to leave by the first
week in Jfebruary, and appoint their matches in
the South, so as to get to Richmond about the
last of March, when ball playing begins there.
They play ball in Raleigh, N; C.in March. Ev
ery Southern city they pass through 01 roiite home
will want them to play one game. Th advent
of the Atlantics in tue South will advance the
game by years, and lereate quite a furorei for the
sport. Those desirous qf - seeing the South
should accompany the Club. Ts

Shad Fishing. Shad having made their ap
pearance in Charlestjon and Wilmington, we may
shortly expect them; in the Sounds of North Car
olina. We learn that extensive arrangements
have been made to bring them in, and a larger
number of net 6having been sett, we may expect
a larger number taken than heretofore. The
quantity brought in fresh last season Was about

! A Wabnino to! Bueglaks. While jburglars
were trying to force the doors of a store in this
town, on Saturday night last, there stood within
the house two men of nerve, ready to welcome
them to hospitable graves. For half an hour
thy worked industriously to effect an entrance.
and all this time these inside sentinels stood wiih
their guns well charged to receive them. From
fright or some other cause, the buralars left.
much to the regret of the gentlemen within, who
were calculating ou bagging them. - , .

awakened by the noise of some one endeavoring
to break into his house. He seized his pistol and
started to the door, but on the way the weapon
wa3 accidentally discharged,' and the burglar or
burglars were frightened away.

Noblt Gkkroos.1A correspondent Of the
Warrenton Courier mentions the fact that, with a
liberality rarely equalled, CoL Wharton J. Green,
of that r.nnntv. devotes a considerable portion of
his ample income to J the education of the poor
white children of tue county. At nis own per
6onal cost, he defrays all the expenses of two free
schools, and at the same time contributes to sup
ply the mqst needy with clothing. Th.is Is, in

j Business in Wildon. Th3 RqanQke ; News
says a decided improvement is being felt in the
business community there and with, the fanners
owing to the advanced prices In; cotton. We
hope there is much cotton in the country yet, as
the amount passing this point continues unabated.
We would not advise those still having it on hand
to hold, as this policy is dangerous.

A Colo bed Max Shot. A colored man by the
name of Gus. Baker, In company "with another
whose name is not known, was on last Wednes
day night, badly rwounded near , Weldon. It
would appear that the two had, planned a riid on
ine corn crip or vol. Wick Long, and were shot
at and Baker wounded by some person near by.
The ;wotmd was Inflicted by buckshot, which
passed into the body just below the shoulder
blade, coming out beneath the arm pit, and lodsr-
ing in the arm, thereby Inflicting a very painful,
hough not necessarily dangerous wound. He
was properly cared for- by Drs. Davis and John

LETTER FROM AMERICUS.
fCarrespOndence of the Post
j Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 1st, 1868.
The Conyehtian is at work in earnest, all
its members seem to feel the importance, of
making as sqon as possible, a liberal con
stitution to be submitted to the people as
soon after as practicable." I sav a liberal
Constitution f or such is the tone of the Con vention.
While all their rights and privel
eges as citizens will be fully guaranteed the
colored race, I aim inclined to" the opinion
that it will also i contain universal amnesty
to all, in other words, universal suffrage and
universal amnesty. Quite a number of dele
gates were elected ; on that platform and
vejy many elected as radicals, favor it, such
as Mr. Pool, of Pasquotank, Mr. Rodman, ot
Beaufort and Tourgee, of Guilford. The
matter ot relief has 'occupied some time of
the Convention and the ordinance offered by
Mr. Rodman, of Beaufort, is now hefore the
Convention but wil not pass. All fee the
necessity of relief in same form, but just
what they cannot agree upon.. It having
been decided that Legislative work would
be entertained by the convention, Gen.
Abbott, of your County introduced an ordi
nance for the relief of the W. C. & R. R. R,
asking the State to endorse a million dol
lars worth of its bonds.' The Railroad
promising on its part to retire a, million and
a half of the qu cqlllion of its Bonds au
thorised by the last Legislature. Whether
this ordinance becomes a law or not, Gen.
Abbott and his friends may feel justly proud
of the effort he has made in its behalf arid,
he" will receive as! be has the thanks of CqI.
Cowan aqd all others interested in the wel
fare of $he Road; and here let me add
New Hanover may be, justly proud of its
representation in this Convention. Qeq,
Abbott, as chairman of the Finance Com
mittee and second On the Committee of In
ternal Improvements, has made a reputation
for himself, second to none" in the Conven
tion. I may say he stands preeminent, and
carries with him more influence than any
other member of ihe convention. Mr. Ash
ley, as chairman of the Educational Commit
tee is at home, his reply to Mj Durham, the
leader of the Copperhead par'ty on taxa
tion and representation, on Tuesday last,
ranks him among the ablest debaters on the
floor. Galloway is the ablest colored maQ
in the Convention '
The t'North Carolinian" has removed
from Wilson to this city, and makes its first
appearance as a daily. , It is very sore , and
chafes over the publication in the "Post"
of the letter sent it by one Bernard of your
city. I give it four months to live; it is the
vilest and' most abusive sheet in the State
and with its degraded puppy,. "Jeff Lee,"
will goon siuk into oblivion. The Copper
head Convention meets in this city Feb. 3th,
and even now youj can recognize in town
the rebel chiefs preparing in advance food
for its rank and j nle. Wm. H. Graham,
Judge Merriman, and many others. They
are thus far. disappointed at the action of
the Convention, hoping as they did that ere
this time it would have given it some capi
tal tq work ont as their ow stock in trade
is exhausted, instead of going directly for
ward with the work of organization as they
are doing. As it is they can only send forth
a platform of the Seymour, Pendleton, Val
landigham stripe, and much good may it
do them, for if the Conyention makes 1 a lib
eral Constitution as .1. believe they will, it
will be carried by f orty thousand majority
in North Carolina.. I see in town promi
nent men from all parts of the State and all
are confident of an j overwhelming majority
for the Constitution, M-l"it n 1 i y'K:--
The Republican State Convention has
been called for Feb: 26th, and it is hoped
your section of the State will be well repre
sented. New ; Hanover is entitled to six
votes in the Convention, but it is expected
she will send many more to represent her.
It is expected the Convention will adjourn
about the first oi Harcb, -

There are many kinds of fiddlers in the
world. Some that always make von dance
br sing; and some don't S Butihe fiddler I
wish to speak of to day U one whose first
name is sand. He livei.. in a hole in the
ground at low water mark, where the tide
ebbs and flows twice every twenty-four hours,
and generally goes liome when., he sees the
tide coming inl :: He is rather a cro5 bed
looking chap, , wears light gray clothes and
always, runside ways, It don't make any
difference to him which side, for if you come
to him on one side, he always runs the other
way. : He has on an average two claws, but
one is eo large he has to carry it on his back,
and the other one quite . small. In many
places in North Carolina the sand fiddler is
never seen,' but in some places the wanderer
suddenly ; discovers a large family of 'them
running in all directions, except straight
ahead. When you try to catch him, he runs
the fasterand just as you put your hand on
him, he disappears down a hole, and is lost
to sight, yvhere be remains in retirement un
til he reappears. His food must consist
principally Of sand, as he always has a hole
to run intoand there is mo corresponding
hill to mark the disposition of the" superflu
ous sand. He was never know ij to do . j any
hard work and spends his time at low tide
in playing along the shore. Jle is occasion
ally captured by rude boys and sacrificed for
bait which is used to entice the finny tribe
from their cheerful home3, but as a steady
thing he is of no aooount. ,
I suppose the fiddler average, about 6$ to
the square foot, surface measure, and if we
estimate tho3e in the holes at 3 J there would
be about 10 to the cubic foot which may be
near the truth. Now suppose the3e uneasy
animals occupy 4 feet in width of the soil;
there would be at the above - estimate 213,
330 sand fiddlers to the mile of shore on our
sounds, all. living and enjoying our fine cli
mate with no expense, to themselves. j .
I hope this article will be read by some
enterprising Yankee who will come down
herend by employing; this vast number of
idle vagrants help to develope the resources
of North Carolina. 4
In one of his letters frpm Constantinople,
Mrk T-wain says : If you want dwarfs--1
mean just a few dwarfs) for curiosity--goto
Genoa. If you want tkj -buy them bv the
ccross, for retail, go to j Milan. There are
plenty of dwarfs all over Italy, but it did
not seem to me that in (Milan the crop was
luxuriant. If you would see a fair average
style of assorted cripples, go to Naples,' or
travel through the ROmac States. But if
you would see the very heart and home of
cripples and human monsters, go straight to
Constantinople. A beggar in Naples who
can show a foot that has run in one horrible
toe, with one shapeless nail on it, has got. a
good thing ; but such an exhibition wouldn't
stand any chance in Constantinople. The
man would starve. Who. would pay any
attention to attractions like his among the
rare monsters that throng, the bridges of the
Golden Horn and display their dcfru.uif.ius
in the gutters of Stamboul ? Ob, wretched
imposterl Uow could ike stand against the,
three legged women, and the man with his
eye in his cheek? How would he blush in
the presence of a man with fingers on his
elbows? Were would lib hid himself when
the. dwarf with 'seven finders on each hand,
no upper lip, and his under jaw gone, conte
down in his majesty f Bismilldh The
cripples of Europe are a fraud and delusion.

of Pera and Stamboul. f 1
