We learn that there was a discussion at
I.iIrsyiIlc, in Anson county, on Saturday
Inst, between lion. ThOs. S. Ashc, Col. Il.
II. Bennett and j. N. Wall, ESQ, Conser-
ylliyes, and Gen. Alfred Dockcry James
C..rrlway and a. NJ. BOggan, Radicals,
when the cOlOrcd men who were present
v.cre considerably wrought up at the ap-
paaIs made to them by the Radical speak
rrs At the conclusion of the affair the
black Radicals from Wadesboro' and
i.4ucsboro', with a few whites, formed
into procession and, proceeded by fife
and drum, marched to Wadesboro'. On
arriving at that town they proceeded TO
t!re houses Of two Mcssrs. Threadgill and
Nr. Thomas May, all highly respected
citizcns of Anson county, which they as
-lultci with rocks. The owners thcreupon
allied out and endcavOrcd to induce them
- drsist their outrageous conduct, when
one Kaimas Cor Camas) N1cNair, colored,
ana Of the ringlcaders, who has heretofore
cnioycd, to 4 great extent, the confidence
Of the community, cOllarcd Mr.. Thread
i'll and shook him very severely, the crowd
.rIling and hooting like very devils and
encouraging him in the act. The gentle
man, being completely Overpowcrcd 10y the
black devils, many of whom were crazed
%iLh mean liquor, could offer no resistance.
The wrctches were proceeding to still
..rcatcr cXtremtics, when they were
checked by the timely appearance on the
,.,.nc of 4 number Of white citizens, who
,clr rs equally determined to quoll the
.rtllibaucc IS the negroes were to make
n.tn. Tho latter then retired with one
man severely injured by a rock, probably
troHn ly some one of Ilis own frionns.
lI.a affair naturally caused the most i'll
rnse excitement in the town, and the
.hae citizens hastily prepared themselves
r,r qnv farther demonstrations. No others
cro made, however, during Saturday

-....!ar ..reluoou gave fears OF another
stack. although our informant, who left
.H~,lll!a yesterday morning, had heard
u9:hing further.
The disturbance Is attributed, N 4 great
measure, to the influence Of one Caraw4y,
, White Radical aspirapt for the State
nate. Nlo was mainly instrumental in
.r,~aling The trouble that occurred there
I.., s,rcAs ago.
irorr Wilmington,
where -ato Ills letter, tltc capital Of New
Hanover ruunty, and by far She largest
.at I'll /. important business mart in tie
s.ala Of North Carolina, is situated on the
..... bank of the Cape Fear NiTer, about
.s.uty-ci-ht rules from its Inouth. The
civ Itself is built upon liHo OF lofty Hills,
sst its climate is noted for its health aud
a,,lubrity.
Tho first successful settlement Of the
place was made in 1868, by band of colo
usts headed by Sir John Icomans. III
I'LL ST. John was appointed Governor Of
what is IIoW the State Of South Carolina,
thon known only Us the county of Carterct.
The city Of Wilmington enacted an i'm
pprant part i'll the war Of Independence,
and afterwards in the war Of 1912, but it
was reserved for the last conflict 10 give it
4 name throughout the civilized world.
The importance of strongly foctifying the
nouth Of Cape Fear River was recognized
by the Confederate Government early in
tbe war. Accordingly Fort Fisher was
erected, ..and it proved one of the strongest
offences on this coast.
Through this avenue to the ocean the
Confederate Government was enabled to
receive, bymeans Of the low, swift, English
built blockade runners, an abundance of
supplies Of every description. This in
measure revived the dormant spirit of en-
irrprise. Merchants and ship agents from
abroad tlocllcd to the city; railroad trains
were filed with cotton and naval stores
government factories and stOiehOuses were
bu:lt on a vast scale, and the constant
hustle attendant upon the arrival and de-
i~rture of the blockade-r1lnning steamers
ave the place the appearance Of great
commercial activity.
On the 18th of January, 1850, Fort
Fisher was captured after a desperate
Struggle, and from that moment Whining
ion ceased to be a point Of great i'm
Iortance. Ii is, however, making great
strides towards assuming It's former 20
aiton. The Wilmington and Weldon Rail-
road has increased its business more than
twenty per cent. during the last six months,
and both it and the Wilmington, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad are now under one
management. Messrs. Il. i. Bridgers,
President, Il. +. Newcomer, Vice-PIesi-
lent, and James Anderson and John +.
Divine, Supcrintcndents, are the officers of
hotit lines. The Wilmington JOURNAL,
rdtrd by Major Encclhard, is the only
daily paper in North Carolina which sur
