Wilmington.


We recently copied an article under the above
head, from the Raleigh Star. The Standard of
that city copies the same article and accompanies
it with some valuable suggestions, which much
in accordance with our own views that we extract
them The Standard says: Wilmington will soon,
we trust be able to reach by her arm of enterprise
the Tobacco-growng region of this State; and we
put it to her merchants and of business if it is
not matter of much importance to them to forward
and establish, by every in their power mar
ket for both Tobacco and Cotton in their midst
They have already the control of the lumber timber
and turpentne trade let them but get fairly under
way dealers in the other great staples above men,
toned, and they may then confidently challenge COM
petition from any quarter"
We have little doubt that the enterprisng portion
of our community are already awake to the import
ance of these suggestions, and will not dwell up
on them, especially we have more than once Civ
en- our own views to the same effect We would
however, add remark in regard to another mat
ter. Many of the people--nay, most of the people
of the up-country totally unacquainted with the
real character resources of Wilmington. and are
likely to be as long the field of influence is
left in undisturbed possession of the drummers and
agents of Petersburg and Norfolk. As the Central
road progresses, and its progress and completion is
now fixed fact, the mercantile community of Will
mngton should spare effort by personal presence
and solicitation, we'll as by publication and adver-
tisement of every kind to extend their influence and
acquaintaneeship. Any one who will pay attention
to the matter will find rivals omnipresent And
have remarked in former article, we must
adapt ourselves to the change of circumstances, and
trim sails to the shifting current the trade winds
Without tobacco, cotton, coal and grain markets,
cannot hope to reap the tull amount--or half the
amount of the advantages which are Justly enti-
tied to receive from the works in progress We hope
to the time when the products of the forest in
stead of constituting the main stay of our trade will
only form one among many of equal or superior i'm
portance.
To the growth and proper development of such a
trade, the establishment of system of wholesale
stores for the supply Of everything required by the
merchants of the Interior is essentially necessary
To do this direct importation is by no means indis-
pensable. The merchant who goes on to New York
to make up stock of goods: seldom or never buys
from the importer, who breaks bulk. This
business is done BY the obber; and this iobbng bu-
siness might be done. everything considered Just as
advantag eousy here rs there
But We beg pardon of our merchants, if in discus
sing their business, have been talking of war in
the presence of Hannibal. Our observations, how.
ever, not made without reflection and Il knowl-

1t has, doubtless, been reported to most of our
readers that at Marion Court: Mcdowell county, N.

an unarmed and defenceless condition, was passing
from the Court-h house to his room after an arduous
discharge of duty to his client, in then pend

in a rufhanly manner, by Samuel Fleming who hay-
ing armed himself with every necessary weapon of
offence, used cowhide, which he had seereted about
his person. The fight, at the time, is said to have
been a long and severe one. Fleming using stone
with stunning effect; but before Col. Avery in his
deenceless condition, having been disabled by the
blows inflicted by the stone in Jennings hand, could
properly avenge the indgnity offered to his person,
the parties were separated and he taken to his ROOM
and all weapons of offence defence denied him.
! In Morganton, on Tuesday last, few minutes af-
ter Judge Battle had taken his seat on the bench in
the afternoon session, Fleming fully armed walked
within the bar of the court, appearing in Col Ave

brings later news from the of the disturbances
in northern Mexico. 1t appears that Carayajal the
insurgent leader, had been compelled to raise the

The most intense alarm was spreading throughout
Mexico, not only of the insurgents, but in
consequence of great disafecon among the people of
the country.
Extensive preparations were making upon the part
of the government for defence and to put down the
invaders and rebels Orders had been issued TO show
them quarters.
