Fho Duty Of tao Hour.


That q great struggle is aboat to take
place for the possession Of Richmond, is
conceded on all hands. Toe enemy is
marshaIIing his C6hDTtS on the Rippah4n
mock aud tie Penineul4, and that last
DEF perate effort SGilI be made TO ovetruu
Virginia and occupy her ancient Capital, is
admitted by the eneUy himself. What
Eben becomes the idaIy6of the people of

Such is 1oW the duty of the people of
Richmond. EVeEy preparation should be
made for the approaching conflict, and
every obstacle removed which eau hinder
or embaTrass the movements uf our armies.
II there is man, OF woman; or chIld in
the city who cannot serve the cause here,
aud who can fud temporary refuge else
where, they should Immediately Withdraw,
aud thus clear the decks and diminish the
consumption of fuod.

cry non combaIHnt thus withdrawn. a SOL
dirr might be substituted aud supported.
The food now consumed by persons who
can render no assistance, and which is
hauled over over taxed railways, would be
available for armed men, able and ready
to defend the city against the assaults of
the invader. Arrhiesi like men, are con-
fused aud embarrassed by frightened wo
men aud children cryiog to them for as
distance aud elingiug to them for support.
We sincerely hope and pray that the
red Haves Of battle msy not, as 10 1882,
toIl-aRd break aud hiss against toe walls
of the Capital, aud the ears of our suffer
log but rSsolut+ people may never again
be ssiuIed BY the reports OF hostile guns
But our hopes Smay be idisappointedi the
enemy may come again as he has come
before. aud, for Aught we know, the battle
may be fought on these hills and in these
streets. Il is with a view OF this possible
c0GtinRen6y that Ws'Weutd urge upon our
people TO make all needfui preparations

A train which left Hannibal yesterday
morning for the West, ran off the track II
miles from Palmayra, and was soon afterwards
visited by a band of guerillas, who searched
the train for soldiers, seized the express safe
containing about $4,000 dollars, took three
revolyers from the passengers, and compelled
one OF the employees to fire the cars. A
freight train which arrived soon after the ac-
cident, was also burned. Three soldiers were

North Carolina papers deplore the loss OF
the blockade runner A. d. Vance, as severe
blow to that State. The steamer run ashore
and destroyed on the 18th ult., was the
Lynx.
The steamer Night Hawk was destroyed
on the night of the 29th by the gunboat Nj
pbon. and the rebel captain, officers and part
of the crew captured. Another succeeded in
escaping through New Inlet the same night.
although apparently struck several times from
the guns of the Nippon. The gunboat Day-
light drove off blockade runner the same
morning.
Inc Commissioner of Internal Revenue ha.
decided that the tex on the sale of merchant
disc is to be made on the basis of the curren-
cy, or coin, or either OF which they a,e made.
and can be paid in legal tender Treasury
notes; mus, a sale for S205 worth of mer-
chandise, In gold, is to be taxed for the amount
OF currency which said gold is worth. The
tax can be paid in legal tender notes.
The Wilmington, N. c., journal of the 9th
UT, has an article from the Augusta, Ca,
which says the dreadful
scourge OF yellow fever seems to be extend
ing Its ravages along the coast. 1t is reported
at Savannah and Charleston, and is certainly
raging at Jacksonville and St. Augustine.
The same paper, in speaking of the loss by
fire of the blockade runner Lynx, says she
was owned by John Frazer and Co., of Will
mington. She was bound TO Bermuda, with
600 bales cotton and $4,000 in gold, on
freight or government account.
1t farther remarks that the Tallahassee ex-
pedition will not pay large dividends, and it is
much doubted whether her exploits have
weakened the yankee government to any ap-
preciable extent. 1t is pretty certain she
turned an UNPLEASANT amount of attention on
Wilmington and may be the cause of bringing
down on us the main force of the Yankee
Navy. The blockade here will be doubly
strict, that is certain.
The published official record of court mar
tial cases for the past week shows the convic-
ton of one Colonel, one Lieut. Colonel, four
Majors, two Assistant Surgeons, fourteen Cap
tains and twenty-one first and second Lieu
enants. Nearly all were dismissed from SER
vice for various offences, including drunken
ness, cowardice, &c.

Hon. GEORGE THOMPSON of England, will
speak in Mechanics Hall next Sabbath after
noon and evening. When Mr. Thompson
speaks his auditors always expect something
sound, instructive and patriotic, and they are
never disappointed. Goodwin Smith, John
Bright, Richard Golden and George Thomp-
son have done much to enlighten English pub
lie opinion in relation to our affairs. and have,
in some good degree headed off the London
Times, which is the great copperhead journal
of the Old Country. No paper has done SO
much to help southern rebels and made so
many strong and persevering efforts to divide
the country as the "Thunderer," but George
Thompson and few other leading English
minds have counteracted the influence of this
lying journal and taught the working classes
OF the Fast anchored Isle' that our struggles
against slavery and southern arstocracy are
not only for Americans but also for democracy
and liberal principles the world over. 0
Two English champions of human rights.
Thompson and Smith, are now in this coun-
try, and all loyal Americans will give them
hearty welcome wherever they go. Such men
are worthy of all praise, and they will find Re-
publics can be grateful.

A YOUNG married lady was placed in crit
ical position while bathing at Douarnenez (Fi-
nlstere.) She had entered a small grotto on the
shore, and having remained too long admiriDg
the natural beauties of the cavern, found
when she attempted to retire, that the tide had
risen and prevented all egress. The wat.

obliged to cling to the projections of the rocks
to keep her from drowning, and remained in
this precarious situation, half submerged. fol
four hours, when the ebbing of the tide
brought welcome release.

34U 440 WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 5.
At the Inspectors election Tuesday the
democrats carried Newcastle County by So !;
Kent County by 903; Sussex by $50. Total
1405 in Newcastle County. The republicans
han 432 majority in 1869.
another account-Little interest is taken in
the election o-dav. The Union vote is not full
in Wilmington. The republicans elect all the
Inspectors and the Assessor balance of New
castle County about even. We have heard
nothing from Kent and Sussex, but suppose as
usual at this election they have gone demo-
cratic.

In consideration of the large amount of
travel and continued increase monthly, the
Directors have concluded not to raise the cash
fares, and merely add enough to the package
tickets to pay the Government tax. The city
packages are twenty-three for 81, and the
Westbrook packages are only one less in each
package than formerly. This has now become
one of the indispensable institutions of our city
and we are glad that its enterprising projectors
have been so successful.
