SERVED HIN R1eHr.-One of the Cbvalry, from
Mobile, had verdict rendered against him in
an action for assault and battery, tried by jury
in New York, on the 18th inst FOR two hundred
and fifty dollars. The plaintiff vas one of the
chamber maids in the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The
defendant, his wife and daughter, we're boarders
there. The wife accused the plaintiff with strik-
ing her little daughter, abused her in scandu-
lous and most uuwomanly manner, finely went
down stairs and brought up her husband, great
hve lu ~ho fort uis Iol
his wife in abusive language, and finely struck
the plaintiff, small and feeble woman, two
heavy blows on the face. Instead of plaintiff
striking the child, the proof was she had taken
her from position of danger on tbs stat, ban
nisters, and urged her kindly to go down stairs
to her mother. For this, she was 6ercely struck.
There's more Chivalry!

OPERATIONS AGAINST WILMINGTON, N. c.
It is no longer secret to the enemy, says the
New York Commercial, that Gen. Foster, with
. very large force, is proceeding on transports
and by the overland route to the attack upon
Wilmington. The enemy is already aware that
there is large feet of war vessels in Beau
fort hsrbor, and among these vessels are the
Montauk aud Passsic
Wilmington IN. CO.. is accessible by boats by
two inlets, although it is probable that the
inlet at the mouth Of the Cape Fear River will
be chosen instead of New Inlet, some distance
above on the coast, as the latter at this season
of the year is somewhat dangerous for vessels
drawing over nine feet Of water. The defences
at the mouth of Cape Fear river are Forts Cas-
we'll and johnson, Both are we'll armed. Ex-
cept sand batteries there are are no defenses
to New Inlet.
That portion of the Land force under Gen.
Foster which has been embarked on trans
ports will doubtless proceed to Masonboro In,
let, whichis directly east Of Wilmington, effect
o landing, and march across to flank attack
upon that city. The other portion of the land
force will probably pursue the same course as
that taken by Gen. Foster in his recent move.
