blockade Running Between Will
mingtOn and En2lnmN.

New YORK, Jan. 2l.-The IIerald's Nassau
correspondent of the 10th SAYS: The ut
most activity prevailed in the Anglo-rebel
blockade running fleet plying between Will
mington and Charleston and Nassau. Cot
ton valued at $3,500,000 had been landed at
Nassau from the above named Southern
ports within ten days. A large number of
British trading vessels had sailed from Liv-
erpool, London and the Clyde, laden with
supplies for the rebels. Two blockade run
nefs cleared for Wilmington at Nassau on
the 18th inst. They have probably discov-
cred before now, on. arriving at New Inlet,
that change has taken place in the posi-
tion of affairs there, and that they were just
in time TO fall into the hands of the nation
al forces.

THE CITY.
THE JAIL.
Tho Prisoners i'm our County Jail
Causes of their imprisonment
Condition of the Jail, &c.

IN our rounds on Saturday morning, W.
took occasion to visit the County Jail. VIZ
are indebted to the courtesy Of Messrs. w
J.. Turner, Deputy Sheriff, and Orville Dom
igan, the Jailor, for the following particu-
lars in regard to the prisoners confined
there:
The number Of prisoners at present In the
Jail Is twelve-three of whom are females
They are all adults, with the exception OF
one, John Price, arrested for burglary Ia
breaking into Mr.. Protsman's house. They
are all awaiting the action of the Court OF
Common Pleas OIL their cases, except one,
Wilson Martin, who Is United States pris-
oner, arrested on charge of enticing SOL
dier to desert, and is awaiting an examina-
tion before United States Commissioner
Chittenden.
There are three soldiers in the JAIL Two
of them-Th0mas Dunn and John McGrafi
were arrested for a robbery at the Gait
House, and the other, William Pierce is
committed on charge of stealing horse
at Reynoldsburg.
There is. among the prisoners in the
Jail, a colored man, Allen Pinney, charged
with stealing from Joel Searles six fat hogs
and set of double harness. Pinney has
been in Jail nearly every winter for the last
six years. 1t is to be hoped that, If guilty
of the crime charged, he will find other
quarters for some winters to come.
The remaining male prisoners are-James
Scott, arrested for stealing Mr.. Graham's
horse and buggy; Cornelius Higginbottom,
colored, charged with grand larceny, and
George McDermot arrested for stealing $57
from Mr.. Whitzells shoe store on. Town
street.
The female prisoners are-Molly Moore,
Caroline Tyers, and Amanda Ferrin, all
charged with grand larceny. ...
The cells and the prison department gen.
orally are cleanly and in good condition.
For years the dilapidated state and inse-
cure condition Of our County Jail has been
dwelt upon by successive grand juries. 1t
is no little credit to Sheriff Domigan and
his assistants that for more than year past
no prisoner has succeeded in making his es-
cape from the County Jail, frail and inse-
cure as it is.
1t is generally known to our citizens that
the County Commissioners have under con-
tract the erection of structure for Jail
and Sherif's dwelling. The work on the
building was commenced the past season,
and considerable progress made on the
foundation and basement. 1t will be re-
sumed the coming season, and probably
completed sometime next summer.

Opinion Of solicitor whiting.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 22sAThe opinion of
the Solicitor of the War Department, pub
lishedlast August, is reproduced, as appli-
cable to the present enrolment and quota
for 100000 men to supply deficiencies under
former calls. In that opinion the Solicitor

Positive and Interesting Fac

Positive and Interesting Fact.
-"Facts are stubborn things" no matter
where found. 1t is positive and at the
same time most interesting fact, that our
sick soldiers, who are so fortunate as to ob-
tain bottle of PINKERToN's WAuoo AND
CALIsAYA BITTERs, gain strength much
faster, and are sooner able to do duty on
the battlefield, than those who are de-
prived of them. This is owing to the stub
born fact that these Bitters are the greatest
renovator and purifier of the blood ever be-
fore offered to the public. This is no idle
talk. No one ever used these Bitters but
was highly delighted with the beneficial
results arising from their daily use. We
are glad to learn that steps are being taken
to supply the sick soldiers in our camps
and hospitals with these Bitters. 1t is
humane and benevolent object Druggists
and wholesale dealers always have these
Bitters for sale. The genuine article has
the name of Jacob Pinkerton blown on
each bottle. Et1 re-

Close of the Great Auction Sale.

Some OF our readers may not have paid
due attention to that extensive and cheap
auction sale noticed in this column, at No.
lOl East Town street, opposite the Gwynne
Block, opening at 911a A. NJ. and at = and
7P. M. Multitudes, however, both ladies
and gentlemen, have visited it, and have
profted by it. No one who wishes to prac-
tice economy, by purchasing dry goods of a
superior quality at cheap rates, should me-
glect to attend this great auction sale, as
this is the closing day. Goto-day, that you
may get some of these fine and cheap goods,
for they are going off ''like hot cakes"
The sales are peremptory-there is no wait
ing or higgling-the goods put up are
struck off rapidly. Go and bid. quickly, if
you want to obtain bargain, inasmuch as
this is the last opportunity.

Jeff: Davis nnd Reconstruction,

New YORK, January 2l.-The Richmond
Wing of the 18th publishes an important
letter from jeff Davis in reply to a letter
from Senators from Georgia, in which they
took ground against the resolutions in the
rebel House in favor of reconstruction.
Davis argues that convention of the States
is impracticable, and that peace move
ment on the part of individual States tends
only to the creation of discord in the Con-
federacy. He says that the only plan by
which peace can be obtained, is provided
for in the rebel constitution. He does not
say what this plan is, but proceeds at length
to show that all propositions looking to
conventions and negotiations are futile !;
that the United States will not negotiate !;
that they will only accept surrender,
which the rebel States cannot and will not
grant.
