GREAT DESTRUCTION OF DoGs.-The appa-
rent apathy which has beshrouded our officers,
in relation to the dog matter for the past two
weeks, was "but the calm before the Storm"
Yesterday the work Of slaughter commenced.
The bright sun arose to perform his daily visit
to the Western horizon, and lit scene Of
slaughter. He sat, and his last beams shone
on the mangled corses Of a departed race.
All day the crowds Of men and boys piled
their bloody trade, and by evening at least
three hundred of our canine population fell
victims to the relentless minions of the dog
Jaw. Big dogs, little dogs, long dogs, short
dogs, bull dogs, rat dogs, Newfoundland dogs,
spaniads, terriers, slurts, and purps, were all
in one red burial blent.

A PRECIOUS RAscAL.-One day last week
officers passed through this city in search Of
chap with raft, part Of which he had
stolen at Rock Island. Tho raft was found
on Sunday at New Boston, but the thief was
non est.
The rascal's name is Fred. Citson and
probably q more successful villain does not
now liye outside the grated windows Of the
different penitentiaries scattered through the
country. A year ago last summer he sold a
man in st. Louis large tract Of land in the
pineries, stating that he was the real owner.
Receiving his pay in gold he absquatulated,
and the man who bought the land was vic
timized to the amount of several thousand
dollars. A month or two later he returned
to the lumber region, in Wisconsin, disguised
in false beard and moustache, bought
farm aud located himself He was recog-
pized by some old acquaintances and arrest
ed, taken back to Missouri, tried on charge
of swindling, and sen, to the States prison.

convicts that would embark with him in the
cause of treason. Citson took advantage Of
the pardon and entered the Confederate ranks.
Deserving at the first opportunity he went
back to the pineries. This spring he stole
quite large raft in the Wisconsin river and
started down the river with it. At Rock |
Island last week he enlarged his floating do
main by stealing several cribs more. The
officers then got on his track, and found the
raft at the place named above. Citson had
escaped, however, with his whole crew.
Where he will next turn up no one knows.
)ne thing is certain if he ever shows his
ace in the pinerles again he will be handled
ather roughly by the sturdy lumbermen of
hat District.

WILMINGTON, N. c., Aug. 10, 1852
All of US admit the unconstitutonality of the
transcription Law" recently passed by the Con-
federate Congress. If our legislators would persist
in making this law, why is it that the authorities
do not strictly enforce and execute it, without dis
elimination? There are many persons in this, and
in every other section of North Carolina, who are
subject to the provisions of this law, who, under
some fmsy pretext, are exempt from military duty.
These persons general thing are men OF wealth,
and before the war, were the loudest declaimers
against Northern aggression-were going knee
deep in Yankee blood "besrd the lion in his den"
and perform other wonderful feats. Since the
great struggle in which are now engaged COM
menced, these identical men have taken advantage
of every opportunity to evade entering the army.
Many Of them ha, e "wire-worked" with sufficient
to obtain situations Railroads, and in the
Commissary and Quartermaster's Departments of
the army, and in other governmental branches, al
ways taking care to get beyond the reach of "shot
and she'll"
Again: There some others of the same stripe
who make it business to speculate in the necessa-
reS of life-who take advantage Of the mlsfortunes
of their country to make fortunes Whenever our
arms victorious they the first to proclaim
"what zoe have done" On the other hand, there
are persons not very we'll off :" in this worlds

daily earnings for q common support, who are COM
PEELED to leave all linear and dear" to them in an

sons hardly able to support their families much
less hire substitutes forced to enter the service

Of above, remain at home to speculate in the food
which provisions the family of the poor soldier, who
is giving what aid he Gf it is forced,) FOR the
rights of the South, which the drOnes have talked
much about. If this contest could be decided By
cords, these who were going "knee-deep in
Yankee blood" would be active participants. 1t
appears more reasonable to suppose that those who
were mainly instrumental in precipitating this rev.
olution upon u.s. would be the first to respond to
the call, to arms" but such does not seem to be
the case. They appear to shrink from the horrors
which must necessarily follow revolution Of this
nature. They know horrible tragedy is being en-
acted, and do not all of us know the sane-and
know besides that it should be met in spirit Of
bravery, and with determination to conquer? Be-
cause it has assumed such huge proportions, its
authors and advocates should not flee from it, like
rats from burning ship. If there was lone ounce
of manhood in their composition, they would shed
their last drop of blood in vndcaton of the cause,
about which they have said so much.
