Probable Evacuation Of Wilmington, N. c.
Admiral Porter sent an official dispatch TO The
Navy Department on Sunday last, stating that
his gunboats in connection with the land troops
under Gen. Schofeld had captured Fort Ander-
son, the only work of strength remaining for the
defence of Wilmington. The Rebels escaped du-
ring the night. With the fort are captured ten
heavy guns and a quantity of ammunition. AS
this fort is but ten miles from Wilmington, it is
probable that our troops by this time have pos

A CORREcTIoN readers will recollect that
in the Court proceedings a few weeks since, it
was pubshedithat n man named Frank Boar
man was found guilty of stealing potatoes from
the cellar Of Mr.. Rankin, in the llth, district.
We have since learned that the name Of the thief
was Bowers and not Boarman as first published,
and as we have peaceabe citizen named Frank
Boarman, make this correction that no one
may suspect him of being the potatoe thief.

Resolutions of Respect.

We gladly give place to the following resonlu-
tons, and would unite our expressions of sorrow
and sympathy with our brave soldiers in the
field, at the loss which the country and the fam
lilies of the deceased have sustained. And in this
connection we cannot refrain from expressing our
regret and surprise, that the military authorities,
refused to furnish suitable escort to accompany
the remains of the lamented Col. Wilson to their
last resting place. Application was made for a
company of men to escort the body of the Col.
from the city TO his late residence, but for some
reason was not granted. Gen. Jno. S. Berry

shot was fired, when he was laid 10 his long rest,
and yet the grave never closed over a Drawer

VA, Feb. IA, 1868.
At meeting of the officers of the First Mary
land Veteran Volunteer Infantry. presided over
by Captain Robert Nicely, commanding said
regiment, the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted .t4 e
Whereas, Our grief over the previous losses Of
beloved and respected officers and comrades in
this command is painfully intensified by the
death of Colonel John w. Wilson and Lieuten-
ant Lewis Armacost, who fell whilst nobly de-
tending our country's flag from the hands Of
traitorous enemies,
Pesolued, That whilst we are proud that the
appreciation of their value as officers has been
expressed by their late promotion we doubly
lament theirloss at the time when their ncreas-
ed efficiency as officers entitled us to expect
still more glorious manifestations of their patri-
sotsm and military ability. r5f.
Resolced, That we express our deep sympathy
with their bereaved widows and mourning or
phans, and send to them from the battle field
the assurance of our sincere confidence and
lasting friendship. 3sNl4aa $3.50
RcsolUed, That whist our hearts are aching
over the repeated blows a wicked rebellion
strikes in our ranks, the same hearts are SWELL
ing with anger to revenge the noble victims cf
patriotism and to initiate their heroic conduct.
ResolDed, That as a token of respect and cs-
TEEN, the officers of this command will wear
Grape upon the hilt of their swords for the pc
Rod of thirty days. y. frs s-,t,fl

THE 22D, IN TowsoNTowN,- Except little ex-
hibiion of the military spirit on the part Of the
boys, and the explosion Of a small quantity of
"vlanous saltpetre," there was but little differ
ence noticeable between this day and any others.
In the evening however, a few of our energetic
and patriotic citizens, succeeded in getting up
quite creditable illumination, in honor of the
day, aud of the late grand victories in South
Carolina The Court House, Smedley House,
and number of private residences were hand
somely Illuminated, giving the town quite bril-
liant appearance. A meeting had been called at
the Court House, but owing to the rainy weather
and our miserable board walks, few could turn
TO those who had assembled.
The day was very generally observed, ma
tional salute was fired at all government militia
nv establishments by order of the Secretary of
War. In the city the flags were gaily hung out
and most places of public business closed

THE BLUE BIuDs HAVE CoME.-The other morn
ing on our way to the office, were greeted with
the first warbling notes of the Blue-bird. 1t
sounded like the CHEEKY voice of some old
friend whom we had not seeen for long
time. g The Blue-birds have come '' is
heard on all sides, and every body feels thrill
of plasnre at the announcement. They are wel-e
coined back like members of the family, and the
children wonder where they have been and what
countries they have seen during their long alb
sence. Their arrival is the more cheering, be-
cause it is said by the old weather-wise people,
that the severe cold weather is over, and that the
gardener may soon resume his labors with conf
dence. Their appearance gladdens the whole
Landscape. Their soft warblings will soon be
heard in every field. They grow familiar and
take up their residence in the trees and shelters
around your habitation. ssk

Districts that are making no effort TO fill their
quota, may look for an early turning of the
wheel. The meeting called at Towsontown on
Tuesday last, for the 9th district was but sparse

ing the collection of sufficient amount Of money
to buy volunteers to fill the quota, and there be-
