Facts and Rumors from Wilmington.

The Confederate steamer Gordon Capt. Walker,
was captured off Cape Fear Bar by the blockaders
on Wednesday morning, from Nassau, laden with
arms, powder &C. Only one of the crew escaped,
who reports none hurt Two Yankee spies or bridge
burners we're captured on the Manchester road, and
brought to Wilmington.
It is rumored in town that at 10 o'clock on Thurs
day, the Yankee feet, supposed to be the Burnside
expedition, commenced bombardng Fort Fisher, be-
low Wilmington. We are glad to say that informa'
ton brought by passengers on the train on yester'
day, explode the rumor. There was firing belo"
Wilmington on Thursday from some cause, but not
from bombarding feet

RAILROAD Acc1DENT.-We omitted to state in our
last that severe accident occurred on the N. Z.
Railroad on Thursday evening, week ago, between
this City and Goldsboro' The heavy rains had wash
ed the road and forced out the crossties, it is said.
The train came rushing on as usual, when suddenly
the engine sunk in and the tender and cars were
smashed up badly, killing two negroes and wound
ing severely the engineer. There were 200 Yankee
paroled prisoners on at the tme but none were in
iured.

YANKEE GUNBoATs.-We are glad to see some
signs of recovery from the panic occasioned by the
successes of the Yankee gunboats, in the South.
The successful resistance at Drurys Bluff seems to
have blown away the smoke, although the contest at
Pensacola, Fort Donelson and other points, had
proven that they were not invulnerable where our
batteries were properly provided for. We hope,
therefore, to hear of more excavations without
desperate fight Savannah, Mobile and .Vicksburg
have resolved not to surrender. Let them be ready
for the enemy, and all will be well. Why does not
Charleston and Wilmington take the same stand ?
We hope the military and the people there will de-
fend them manfully and successfully. Let none Of
them be given up.

A Card.
To the Editor Of the Raleigh Standard:- =

10 the Editor Of the Raleigh Standard
SIR: A communication appeared in your paper of
the 2oth inst, under the caption Are these things
sol" in which am charged with gross misconduct
as the Paymaster of North Carolina Troops. On
demanding of you the name of the author of the
communication, was informed, after some delay,
that it was written by Mr.. Frank l. Wilson, who is
regarded as an irresponsible man. Under these
circumstances, it only remains for me to declare,
as now do, that the charge is without any, the
slightest foundation in truth and that defy proof
in contradiction of the assertion.
AS matter Of justice shall expect Of you the
insertion Of this Gard in your next issue:
A. M. LEWIS.
Raleigh, May s9, 1862.
We have given place to the above Card of Major
Lewis, as an act Of simple justice to him. But in
doing So protest against his language in relation
to our correspondent, Mr.. Frank l. Wilson. We
have known Mr.. Wilson intimately for many years.
There is no stain upon his character so far as we
know. We have always found him an honest,
truth-telling man; and we have no hesitation in
saying that in all these respects as we'll as in all
other respects, he is quite the equal Of Maj Lewis
himself
1t is we'll known to our readers that it is not our
habit to shield ourself behind Irresponsible per-
sons. We have always spoken boldly and pointed
y, when the occasion has seemed to require it; and
we expect to continue to do so.
Maj Lewis refers to the "delay" which he en-.
countered in obtaining the name of our cores
pondent There was no more "delay" than was
proper and necessary, as the correspondence will
show, if published.
Maj Lewis emphatically denies that he has been
guilty of "gross misconduct as the Paymaster of
North Carolina troops" We have not charged"
him with such misconduct, and have, therefore,
nothing to retract, and nothing to prove. His de-
nial however, ought to be satisfactory to the pub
lc as it is to us, that he has not been guilty of
."gross misconduct" in his Office. But while we
say this, we also hold that Maj. Lewis official
duct is fit subject for public scrutiny; and that
the press is not to be restrained from giving crcu
lation to "rumors" even, which affect officials in
their relations to the army and to the public Eve
ry is presumed to be innocent until he is proved
guilty; and according to this rule even, Maj Lewis
is entitled to statement that his denial is salts
factory. We will not undertake to say by what
phraseology he might have made it more so, as, un-
der the circumstances, he would not ask and does
not expect our advice
We now dismiss this matter so far as we are con-
cerned, not expecting to take it up again, unless
compelled to do SO in sefdefence; but our CORES
pondent who is not an irresponsible man." is enti-
tied to hearing in reply to Maj Lewis and shall
have it, if he desires it.

DOMESTIC SALT.-We have in our Office speci-
men of salt, taken from the surface of the ground
on the plantation of Mr. Harris Tysor, near Egypt,
in Chatham County, and refined and crystalized by
DIR. Emmons, State Geologist 1t is beautiful
specimen. The salt, Of dun color, was brought
to this City, in vial, by Mr.. Tysor. 1t is now
white and pure. We learn that there are several
spots on Mr.. Tysor's plantation that are white with
SALT on the surface; and Prof Emmons is Of opinion
that with labor and care, enough salt can be OBJ
tanned from this locality to supply the neighborhood.

We learn that they are capital appointments.

SAVE THE BAcoN.-We observe that the Mayor
of Asheve in this State under the authority of the
Commissioners and in compliance with Gov. Clark's
proclamation, on the 18th inst, seized upon $4,000
pounds of bacon, which had been bought by specu-
lating parties to send out of the State. The Mayor
very generously and properly offers it for sale to
the poor and needy in that section in lots of so bs
each, at cost. The poor in other sections of the
State need even now, and in July and August will
need much worse, similar interference.

A CALL FOR THE FAcrs.-Various statements are
made in Northern and Southern papers in regard to
the Yankee treatment of the negroes in the South.
No rules of warfare can justify their conduct, and
it appears that the facts are concealed from the
Northern people and especially from Maryland Ken
lucky and other points. Mr.. Wicklifs of Kentucky,
who still occupies his place in the Yankee Congress-
made the following statements, which were not de-
MED, but he called in vain for disclosures:
~ want disclosure made with reference to GER
tain facts of which am myself perfectly satisfied.

Important to Tax Payers.

The following circular from R. W. Tay-
Ter, Esq, Auditor Of State, to county Aud
itOrs, win be read by tax payers with in-
tersst:
OFFIcE OF THE AUDITOR OF STATE,
COLUMBUS, July ls, 1882
TO tie ssperal County Auditors;
In my circular letter Of May 26th, 1852,
you were directed, in pursuance Of the act
Of Congress passed August 9th, 1851, and
Of the act Of the General Assembly Of the
State Of Ohio, passed April 10th, 1862, to
enter and charge on each dollar Of all prop
erty, credits and effects subject 10 taxation
in this State for any purpose, as the same
is valued and entered on the grand dupli-
cate Of the several counties for the year
1882, one mill and three quarters, being
the direct tax levied by the United States.
The "Act to provide internal Revenue to,
support the Government and pay interest
on the Public Debt recently passed by
Congress, provides that So much Of the
act Of August 9th, 1861, as imposes di-
rect tax Of S20000000, in the United
States, shall only be held to authorize the
levy and collection Of one tax to that
amount, and no other tax shall be levied
under and by virtue thereof, until the 1st
day Of April, 1855"
This provision, in effect, suspends the
collection Of the above mentioned direct
tax on the duplicate Of 1862 and you will
therefore omit that item from the duplicate
Of the current year. If in any case you
shall have charged this tax on the du-
plicate, you will instruct the County Treas
urers not to collect the same.
Respectfully yours,
R. NJ TAYLER, Auditor.
