a Sudden Attack Anticipated on vii.
Tain;stOn.
TFrom the Wilmington Journal

rum Tie " Wilmington "eNA--e-i-l
There is an old saying that threatened
people livelong. Perhaps this saying may
apply as we'll to places as to individuals
and if so, may account for the fact that
Wilmington, whose fate has been so long
and SO frequently threatened or predicted,
istill lives or, in the classic phrase Of q
young gentleman who caught the idea but
not the words, at amt dead yet
Now, once more, and with redOubled
force and frequency, we are pointed out as
sheep for the slaughter. The knife that is
to sever our joints and several jugulars has
already been whetted so sharp that like
unto Jobs war-horse, even the inanlmate
cutlery smelleth the battle afsr oh-thirst-
eth for our blood and says hs hal
Confound the people, we wish they would
stop their nonsense. This thing Of having
people grinding axes and whetting knives
nd.fxing up gunboats and loading bomb
shells all the time for our special use and
behoof may be fun to outsiders, but we
don't see the joke; and more than that,
we don't gain IN our power Of understand
ing or appreeiating it, and don't expect to.
Our advice to Admiral Farragut, or to any
other Admiral whose name so ends, would
be to keep away from here. If ne comes
here, he may get hurt in the end OF his
name.
Serioutly, however, this thing of an at
tack may be sprung upon US instantly, as
it was at Mobile or Charleston. 1t has sp-
peared just as probable here before as II
does now, and still it has not yet come. Ii
appeared no more so at Charleston, and
yet the city is now under fire.

DssaffectiOn Among the Slaves 4
Texas,

From the Jefferson (TexGs) BuIetin.l
We hesr of robberies and thefts being
committed every night or two in our town,
which are supposed to be the work of ne
groes Are the citizens determined to sit
with arms folded, and let the negroes reg
ulate prices control the town and the
country, and run at large without re-
straint2 Every house that is square
distant from the proper owner or guardian
should be torn to the earth. Every negro
caught lettering around the town after s
o'clock should be put in the lookup, kept
twenty-four hours, and infict a punish
ment of at least one hundred lashes, unless
he is there unavoidably Cannot our
worthy Mayor take this matter in hand ?
He is certainly clothed with power to re-
gulate and control these things within the
corporate limits Of the city. It is neces-
sary to institute strict watch over these
government negroes.
There are many negro ranches through
the country without overseers, left for
weeks together uncontrolled. These are
places of general resort, which afford the
negroes the best opportunities for concoct-
ing their devilish designs, and has a ten
dency TO create disafection among the 9TH
er negroes. The owners of the negroes
are more at fault than the negroes them
selves. They exercise no control over
them at all--allow them to hire their own
tims nd make their own trades, which
is baseful influence upon the other ne
groes, and should be prohibited. No negro
should be allowed to trade or traffic, and
hire his own time; and we should like to
see the old South Carolina law adopted in
regard to dress, suffering them to wear
nothing but homespun. Nothing but hu-
initiating steps ike these will keep them
in their proper place. What step will tho
honorable County Court take in the pre-
mise. --

CrsduIiIy Abroad.

The Davenport Boys, whose eharla-
tanry and imposition were so completely
exposed in this country, are tying them
selves up and untying themselves for the
amusement of English audiences. The
most amusing pnrt of the matter is the
solemn statements put forth. with bsronets
names signed to the ends of them, testify
ing to the impossibility of their being any
deception in the matter. The British press
is rather danunciatory Of the exhibition,
and says, it is astonishing that the United
States the mosl practical of nations, should
be most prolific in humbugs of a profess
ed supernatural character. Nothing very
Astonishing about it. Here these things
are known to be hdmbugs, and are treated
accordingly. 1t is only when the perform
ers of them go abroad that they find favor
and encouragement in circles which claim
to be intelligent. . a-

Mcclellan weeps.

In New York on Saturday evening, Nc
Clellan reviewed his devoted followers. 1t
was the last opportunity before their defeat
of yesterday. Mcclellan stood upon the
Balcony of the 5th Avenue Hotel, smoking
cigar, and looking down upon the enthu-
siastic crowds below. In the language Of
the World:
"The reception he had met with visibly
affected the General Sensitive as he is
brave snd accomplished, the homage of
the people touched him nearly. At one
moment he was completely overcome, and
tears coursed down his cheeks at the en-
?oynent of this, his grandest peaceful tri-
umph, as they had done many a time Snd
oft whom he viewed the horrors, insepara-
bic from the sanguinary triumphs he had
won upon the field Of battle" ~
This must indeed have been touching
scene. The homage of the people does
not usually produce teara We suppose
his weeping, therefore, was on the theory of
Horace 81 us me tEere, doLend.,,a est p7i-
mum ipsi ti5i. His followers will do their
sDsepiHg to-day.

Coal Onin OnIo.

Professor L. D. Williams, of Allegheny
College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, is en-
gagged at present in investigating the geo
logical evidences of the existence of coal
oil in Southern Ohio. 1t is his opinion,
we understand, that it will be found S
abundant as in Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, and that the coal oil region ex-
tends inte Southern Indiana, forming 8
district of which Cincinnati is nearly the
geological centre. The scientific dedue-
tions of Professor Williams are the more
valuable that he has made the geological
conformation of coal oil lands specially,
living, as he does, within sight of the cell
ebrsted Oil Creek and its famous wells.

correspondence of tho Cincinnati Commercial.
ROME, Ga, Oct. 80, 1864.
The promise made Hoods army by jeff
Davis renders it necessary that their feet
should again press the soil of Tennessee.
To compass this important pedal necessi-
ty. Hood, no doubt is endeavoring to cross.
We have good evidence that he has all
three Of his corps with him. In the mean
time the militia of Georgia, their sorghum
gathered, are being remarshaled TO Dive
the 20th corps from Atlanta, probably by
a grand Aanking movement, fer which MI
litia are admirably calculated.
Now Sherman is ayeFse to permit Hood
to have the planning of his fall campaign (;
and so, day before yesterday, he broke up
camp west of Rome, and while the -
took up the line of march for Chsttsnoo-
ga the - treaded southwark for Allan
ta, where they will arrive November 1st
or I'd.
Sherman therefore ignores the exis-
tence of Hoods army, to the extent Of five
heavy corps, which we may be sure, will
not be idle. The Fourth corps, under
General Stanley will be in Decatur, Ala
bsma, before this reaches ysu. 1t proceeds
on foot, via Lafayette and Rossville to
Chattanooga, where trains for Decatur
await it.
The paymasteTs have reached Atlanta
and will pay the troops there before they
embark to any further movement. The
late pursuit has convinced Sherman that
he can move great distance into the
enemys territory and subsist mainly on
for glng-
Hood, hereafter, will fight the troops un-
der command Of General Thomas (who is
still OF Nashville), if he fights at all, and
there can be nothing oomforting to the en-
emy in the statement that he will find an
army Of United States soldiers competent
to prevent him treading the soil Of Tennes

Interesting summary o. Movements
Of the Ontending armies Immed1-
ateiY Proceeding the Battle IA NORTH
Alabama.
From the Richmond Dispatch, Nov. 4
Since the transfer of the seat of wsr
from Georgia to North Alabama news
from both armies comes in more uncertain
" and slowly. Almost entirely across the
extreme northern portion Of Alabama
runs the Charleston and Memphis Rail
road. Itis a very short distance frem the
line, dividing that State from Tennessee,
being distance of twenty miles. The
Tennessee river runs through Alabama in
about the same direction, winding about
little more than the railroad line and cross
ing it in several places,
When Hood started on his new move
ment he kept south of the railroad and
river, having the reserved privilege" of
crossing either at any point he found con-
venient When Sherman found he could
not catch him, after his last effort at La
fayette, he turned north and went to Chat
tanooga, from whence ne started on the
same line with Hood, except that he is
marching on the north side of the Ten
nessee, with hope of meeting the Confed-
crates at the point they shall attempt 10
cross the railroad line mentioned as having
been destroyed. He is now compelled to
foot it over q mountainous and barren
country. He placed General Thomas at
Bridgeport, with one corps, TO guard that
point, and on the 27th General Sherman
himself, with main army, was making for
Gunters Landing to stop Hood there. As
Hood was within a nights march of that
point on the 22d ult, it is pretty certain
thst he could have crossed, if the river was
not too high, without any Interference
from his antagonist. Sherman has been
making strenuous efforts TO relay the track
from Chattanooga to Atlanta, so that he
may get away the cars, engines, guns and
materials left in the city after the success
lul destruction of the road by our forces.
/ To consummate this end he has been ma
king temporary track on the timbers out
of green saplings and trees along the road.
Our cavalry, however, have been annoying
his working parties to very considerable
extent, and materially retarded the work
and the use of the road. They dash in at
all points along the road, and after cutting
and destroying places OF most Importance,
disappear, TO pounee on it at some other
distant point. By these active operations
Sherman has been prevented, up to the
present time, from receiving any commu-
nication with Atlanta. The Correspondents
with Hoods army agree that no general
fihgt need be expected Immediately, as
Sherman is too far behind, and has no
transportation to march with rspidity.
Very large supply trains have been pas
sing up to Hoods army for the past fort
night The enemy, under fitzpatrick, have
made several desperate efforts to capture
these trains, but thus far unsuccessful
Wheeler is keeping them in check. A raid
is, however, anticipated upon the Alabama
and Tennessee Railroad, in the direction of
Selma. Some of the Yankee gsrrisons re-
Gently captured in Northern Georgia were
raw recruits, in camp of instruction, who
had not yet had arms issued to them
