Negro Catching in Wilmington.

Has our city become the favnrite
hunting ground Of sidpe hunters, nnd their biped
blnol hounds, sidve cdtchersY IL it true that
some Of our city Constables and might pd'ehnieH,
have adopted the business of negro bunting
or if you please, slave catching? Does The city
pay these men large salaries TO enable them to
prostitute their officers TO such nnmanly and
ignoble purposes cannot believe our worthy
Mayor OF the City Council, are aware Of this F:
lusTIcK.
NoTE,-We know nothing whatever of the
matter to which our correspondent allndes and
have, until now. heard Of no such charges
against our city officials. We have no doubt
however. but Mayor dipn-who is very
straight forward, honorable, impartial officer
will raiisfy any person who may desire iuformS-
tion upon the point in question, aud will call
on or address him personally We very much
mistake the character of our present excellent
chief magistrate of the city il he knowingly
would permit any officer under his control Ia

A detachment of Col Bakers rangers,
which left here a week ago, returned last
evening.
They report that during their absence
they had several brushes with Mosebv's
and Whites men and they succeeded In
putting the enemy to flight in every in
stance.
One of these engagements was at Snck-
er's Gap and another at Smiths Farm.
near Mlddleburg.
Our forces in the latter instance knew
that the enemy outnumbered them, but
they determined that they would test their
fighting ability.
Dividing into two detachments they
suddenly dashed upon them and put them
TO hlght In a very SHIRT time.
On one occasion, Moseby having stopped
at house near Middlebury to get break
last, an effort was made to capture him,
but unfortunately he escaped.
In all brushes with the enemy we had
only one man killed.
The loss OF the enemy is not known.
