MAYOR'S COURT. Another of Uncle Sam's Soldiers Up Before Mayor Russ. There were but two offenders In the Mayor's court this morning and the usual Jury was absent, the spectators being exclusively Interested parties. The first case was a member of the Durham Light Infantry, who on the stand stated that the spirits imbibed Saturday nisht made him assume a little too much authority about the house of Katie Tulley. who Is a belle of Cabarrus street. The soldier indulged In Indecent language and used some extra force in attempting to enter the house. The Mayor after the statement of the offender fined him $3.20. The second offender was Fred Wat kins, alias Jones, a hack driver. Wat kins had broken the citv ordinance restricting the carriage drivers while at the Union station.' For some time there has been much complaint on the part of a few of the drivers who think some are stretching the rules and go ing beyond the limits soliciting passen gers. Isaac and Roger Kelly were the wit nesses against Watkins and from their testimony it was conclusively shown that Watkins had passed the bounda ries, but a Mr. D. B. Harris who had hired the carriage, at that moment put in an appearance, stated to the Mayor that lie summoned the driver from his position in the Hne and thereby caused the discharged of the offender. The Mayor, however, warned Wat kins against again breaking the regula tions, and said he would put the full penalty. $7. :.. on him if he was again charted with this offense. SOUTHERN STUDENT ENCE.

Today Adjutant General Cowles re ceived the following letter "Sir: I have the honor to report that on my recent trip to Washington repre senting the State officially, I arranged to have the North Carolina Naval Re serves placed on the monitor Nantucket for duly at any pcrint that the Navy Department may direct the ship. I have placed as a crew of ninety-live men from the Wilmington and Sduthport divisions ,and nine officers coming from Wilmington. Southport and Klnston di visions. I have given them indefinite leave of absence and they are now regu larly enlisted and commissioned In the United States Navy. 'I desire to further request an indefi nite furlough for mysolf I will, how ever, remain in charge of fli organiza tion until they are all providfd. for. as the Navy Department has ordered me on shore duty arranging and providing for the men of the Xortli Carolina Na val Battalion and in the erection of sig nal stations. There are to be three additional ships assigned for use of the Naval Battalion, and I expect to put the Elizabeth City division Kinston and Npwhprn division I on these boats respectively. "My absence from the city prevented my informing you that the entire Naval Battalion has volunteered for service, and as a matter of justice to the organi zation I desire that a record of their action be made in your department. The divisions of this batalion were the first to wire me that they volunteered solid ly, and my absence has prevented me giving this Information to the press for publication. "1 am very respectfully yours, "GEO. L. MORTON." "Commander." Following the above was attached the following memoranda of appointments: . "Sir :I have the honor to report that I have appointed T. M.

The orders to prepare hostile hps aused extra exertions on the part ot II ot'ficeis, and this morning capLaai Gresham sent t lie Surgeons to the va rious towns to examine the negro vol unteers before ordering them to Fort Macon for mobilization. This Is done with two objects in view. First, that of saving expense to the vernment in returning rejected men to their homes, and second that they w ill be ready to muster In as soon as they arrive at Fort Macon. Dr. Wilder left this morning- for Wil mington where he will examine the ne gro volunteers toiiifrht and tomorrow. He will then proceed to Charlotte, and apt. C. S. L. A. Taylor's Company will be examined. 1 tr. Jordan left on the noon train for Newbern. From that town the Gov ernor accepted forty negro volunteers to complete one of the Raleigh compa nies, and these men will be examined oniorrow. The Raleigh negro volunteers will assemble at Odd Fellow's Hall tonight at 8 o'cJock, and Captain Winter, U. tf. A. and Surgeon Archer wil make the physical examination. There are eighty men and the necessary officers to come from Aalelgh. and the number of volun teei s has exceeded the number accepted bv the Governor. The statements made that the officers of negro Battalion from this State are to be detailed from the regular army seem unrel'nble. This morning Captain Gresham stat ed that he would muster in whoever the Governor appointed. The negro volunteers will probably be on the move bv Saturday on Monday and by tne time thev reach Fort Macon lr tne pres ent programme is carried out, the pres ent First Regiment, under uoi.

Visitors Thronged the Ship to Bid Good-bye to the Reserves Will Not Leave Before Tomorrow Evening. Wilmington Star. Yesterday afternoon from 3:30 until past B o'clock throngs of people were passing to and fro over the gangway between the government whart and the Nantucket. Friends, relatives and sweethearts of the gallant crew had read In the Morning Star that they would be allowed to go aboard between those hours, Inspect the monitor and say good-bye to the Reserves. It is estimated that more tnan a tnou- sand people availed themselves of the) opportunity, rne visitors were aamii- ted In companies or about twenty each, and as fast as one company shown over the boat and had said eood- to friends and loved ones,' they filed up the gangway and another was admitted. The season of leave-taking was at tended bv no unustml demonstrations of sadness. For, while a cloud of sor row doubtless weighed upon tne soir- its of crew and visitors, there was St bright silver lining which predominat ed, a feeling of patriotism on the part of the Reserves and of confidence with those they are leaving behind, that tna boys would return after the war cor ered with glory and never a stain of dishonor. Other than the reception of visitors there was no unusual occurrence on board the monitor during the day, save that at 10 a. m. the crew was mustered and the articles of war read to them. It Is one of the regulations of the United States navy that this shall be done regularly once every month while a state of war exists.
