The New Berne Naval Reserves gol back from Wilmington last night aud were warmly welcomed home. In appreciation of "The Hoys" Mayor Ellis and the Fire Department got up a hurried program for their reception. Both fire engines with a band of music met them at the depot where a Urire number of people joined in the parade down town to the armory. Tho streets were illuminated along the line of march with lion fires, sky rockets nd roman candles. Arriving at the city headquarters three cheers were sent up by tho Reserves for Mayor Ellis and the Fire Department. Continuing on to the Armory a tremen dous fusiladc of brilliant fire works kindly donated by Messrs. Hurkburn & V illett, were sef oft with the waving of the stars and stripes stretched across the entire width of the street. Halting at the armory, three cheers were given by the Reserves lor their com manding officer, Lieut. Winslow. The company is back in high spirits, declar ing their heartiest Appreciation ol the trip and the overflowing hospitality of the good people of Wilmington and es pccially of the Wilmington Divisions of the Naval Uatallion whose guest they were and for whom their last cheers were given. THE 8UAM-BATT1.K. The sham Dattle proved a most delight ful feature of tho Welcome Week, a des cription ol winch we take from the Star: On account of the bad weather Thurs day morning it was thought that the sham-battle would not occur as adver tiscd; even within an hour ol'the time no one seemed to know. Every body asked, 'Will they tight?', "Have the troops gone out?" Finally the sigr.il ran down the line that there would be a battle rain or shine. And when the monitor was seen slowly moving up tho river thsre was a great rush for Hilton. The cars could scarcely aecominod ite the crowd. Many walked out. By the time the Nantucket hove in sight of the phiee the river bank near the Park was alive with people, standing tier above tier, straining their eyes to catch the first flash of the coming combat. Nor had they long to wait, tor the impa tient tars began to "shell the woods' with freat vigor as soon as they passed arsley's mill feeling for the infantry who were safe out of range behind the hills. Reaching a lavorabb landing place the monitor ;ame to anchor, and the reserve immediately lowered away their boats and pulled for the shore under cover of the big guns. The boats grounded ueforc reaching the bank, but the impetuous marines leaped into the angry flood und effected a landing without serious oppo sition. "Then, swiftly forming in the ranks of war, began the charge. The course was up the bank and through the fringe of wooris which intervenes between the river and the park. When the line emerged from the woods and saw the blue lino of infantry in the distance they opened the ball with a rapid skirmish fire. It was impossible to restrain them, and eoon the fire was general all along the line. "For some reason the infantry held their fire and stood stubbornly to their posi tion. But when the howitzer on the right began to annoy thera they rapidly formed a line of battle, advanced into the open, and began a warm and well directed fire which momentarily checked the advance of the reserves, but only tor a moment. They soon came on, and tor some time it was as pretty a fight as one would care to see. The infantry was beautifully handled by Capt. Nadal, of the Wilson Company, and Capt. D. T. Cronly, of the Light Intantiy. The issue was long in doubt, but finally a flank movement by a body of infantry decided the day. They charged out from a copse of woods and taking the naval reserves on the left flank poured a terrible enfilade fire right down their line. Simultaneously the main body of the infantry advanced with great ardor and forced the reserves ves over the bill and back to their boats. There was no rout. Tbey were beaten back, but not whip ped, and made their retreat in good order to the shelter or the monitor, some ol the reserves say they were not flanked; but an old veteran who stood on the fiery edge of battle at Cbanccllorsville and at Gettysburg thought they were, and told this reDorter that it was a snlendid fight and brought too vividly, the days that are no more. Cheer after cheer was given for Lieut. F. Winslow, of New Berne, Capt. Nadal, of Wilson, Lieutenants Barnard, Morton, Wilkes, of Charlotte, and Capt. Gronly. Every body enjoyed it. The Fire Horse "Dick" Is Dead. . The find grey horse "Dick'' belonging to the Atlantic Fire Company, passed away yesterday about 8 o'clock.

J.D.DINKINS. AN IMPORTANT CASE. A $5,000, Slander Suit Between Two of Our Citizens. FRIDAY 8 PBiK KKDINUS. The slander case of I'. 9. Mace vs Jas. F. Taylor came up Fiiday. This was an action to recover $5,000 for alleged dam age to reputation by reason of remarks made by defendant to the effect of that he believed the plaiutiff had cither set the fire which destroyed several stores at the foot of Middle street on I lie night of the 5th of May, l')-, r caused it to be set, which remarks the plaintiff claimed to be false and innliciou. Mr. Mace wa: l in- iiisl witness exam ined, lie testified that he was at home sick in bed at the time of the tire spoken of ami fur several days previously and afterwards did not go out at the time at all. Mr. Mace's testimony on this point was corroborated by members of his household his wife testified to having been in the room with him looking afn r his comfort from early night up to the ringing of the fire bell. His physician visited him professionally on the 4tli and on the Olh, but not on the 5th, but that the illness was not so severe as to rentier it impossible for him logo out. Other witnesses testified to having seen Mr. Mace down town during the after noon of the day before the tire, and to having seen him run out of the alley lead ing I mm the rear of his store just before the fire was discovered about 11 o'clock i.t night. Cross examination of Mr. Mace by op posing counsel brought out facts iu rela li jn to half a dozen tires, in w hich prop erty belonging t him or in which he was interested, was wholly or partially destroyed. Many questions put to him such as to whether he hail ever made anything by reason of insurance at any ol tho tires or whether he was discovered in compromising positions about the time of the breaking out of any of them were answered by him in the negative. A very large number of prominent citizecs were examined as to the genera! character of Mr. Mace. Among them one of Ins lawyers in the present suit, and without a single exception they testified it wis bad. "On the night of the tire lie was generally denounced," Everybody seemed to lay it to him," were samples of statements made by witnesses in this part of the trial. The taking of testimony was concluded late in the afternoon and argument in the case began. M -ssrs. Moore, Stevenson and Pearsall represented the plaintiff anil Messrs. Guion, Clark & Clark anil Mc Iver the defendants. Mr. Pearsall opened the argument, Mr. Mclver replied and Mr. Stevenson followed. Then an adjournment was had for supper. At 7:30 court convened again and the argument was resumed. Mr. Guion spok'e first, then Mr. W. W. Clark and Mr. Moore closed the argument, The case was given to the jury at quar ter pa9t twelve.
