A correspondent of the Philadelphia Post
writes:

There is q settlement Of sixty or eighty peo-
pie on the corner Of the island, and quite a
number OF handsome residences. The fort has a
church here also, built out of the prisoners fund
during the war, and good library obtained also
from the same source.
The fort itself is massive building Of granite,
surrounded by moat thirty feet in width and
always filed with water. You cross draw

Local Political Gossip.

Talk around town is almost entirely political
and upon the National question. The great feat
which Mr.. Greeley is performing, OF swallowing
the Democracy, excites comment, and proVokes
discussion. There are some ardent Greeley men
TO be discovered. and they claim that quite a
number of Republicans will support the Philos-
opher, II he is nominated at Baltimore. Among
those whom they assert are in this catalogue,
are NJ L. Lchtenstein, 7th ward Philip Quigley,
9th ward, and DR.. shortlidge, 9th ward, all Re-
publican members OF the City Council.
Among the Democrats, Gen jesse Sharpe is
counted on 81 strong for Greeley, 1t is asserted
hs offers to bet respectable pile that for every
Democrat in this city who won't vote Greeley,
he will produce hve Republicans who will. Jesse
Is supposed to have certain knowledge OF these
uncertain Republicans, 90 as to run no risk in
thus backing his opinion" He will put up, but
not shut up.
-Besides the General, there is also Mr.. Arch
ibAld Given, (under indictment for disfranchia-
ing citizens by false returns,) who is heavy
weight among the Democracy, and throws his
whole influence for the great Doctor of Ohappa-
qua Col. John II. Moore, OF the Board Of Ed
ncation, land Governor Ponder's staff } thinks
he eau swallow Greeley but he don't hAnker
after HIM.
Topped, and ia q Greeley man. Somebody re-
latss that he was seen to climb into the ADDER
tiser office, larding the stairs with sweat and
tears, In search OF OByrne, TO subscribe for the
New Departure paper" and give in his adhe
sion to the Philosopher OF the Tribune. We
don't say this isstrue, but we know man who
does say 80.
For Congress, the friends of MIR. Bird are
energeticAlly pushing his name for the hepubli-
can nomination. Somebody said that the idea wal
to cast u complimentary vote for Bird, and ther
throw the Wilmington strength for Major Lof
land, but Mr. Birds friends aver that they don
deal in compliments-the mean business, ant
are going for the nomination.
Tho influence OF Judge Fisher, OF Washing
ton, is manifested, (so it s Asserted,) in behal
OF Major LohAAd, (who has always been an in
innate friend of the Judge, and is indebted 4
the latter for his appointment as Paymaster II
tha army during the War) How naueh tif
Judge's influence can OF will do for the Major
remains to be seen. Mr.. Birds cause IL said d
have lost at least one official supporter on &C
count Of it.
1t is understood that Mr.. Heald, yielding I

WHAT THEY HAVE COST THE LABoRINd MEN OF THE
COUNTRY.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
From first to last $1,000 men have taken part
in the strike Say for the sake of insuring accur-
acy, that one half Of this number have remained
idle for the full period Of four weeks. That is to
say,
10000 MEN HAVE Lost FOUR WEEKS PAY.

much higher pay, but we propose to take low
average as the basis Of the calculation-wi this

A False Report.

NO LABOR STRIFE IMMINENT IN WILMINGTON.
We published, yesterday, what pnrported to
be the result Of a conference between adeleRAte
of the New York strikers aud the werkingmen of
this city reported to meeting Of the metal
workers, held in Now York, on Saturday. The
surprise created by this announcement and the
singulary quiet appearance OF the New York
delegates in this city. led us to inquire closely
into the matter, and we have ascertained the
situation here 10 be just thus
There are no labor leagues in existence in this
city, aud no labor reform organizations OF any
kind save that formed at the public meeting,
held two weeks since, and fully reported in the
COMMERCIAL at the time The labOring mon of
Wilmington, a. body, are opposed to strikes,
and only expect to accomplish through the single
organization In existence peaceable solution
OF the question at variance between capital and
labor, There is no enthusiasm among them,
Inspired by the strikers elsewhere, and the re-
port OF premoditated strike next month, we
are assured, is a base fabrication. Not one dol
lar has been contributed towards the assistance
of the metal strikers OF New York, and it is not
the intention Of the workngmen here as body,
or even in any considerable number 30 to do.
OF course we do not attempt to speak for the
individual acts Of any man we speak of the
workingmen az an entirety.
The visit of the New York delegates to Will
mingtOn actually did take place, but no public
meetings we're held and no considerable number
OF wOTkingmen we're seen They remained here
only abont one day, and the report which was
made in New York was either the individual sx-
preston OF few Of those persons with whom
they held conference or the unwarranted con-
cepiiOn Of their own minds. We know posi-
lively that they received no encouragement what
ever from some persons = workingmen-whom

A Terrible Tragedy.

A terrible poisoning tragedy is reported to
have occurred in WheAtland, Mo-, last Wednes-

barely able to get there, and died soon after
wards. Two doctors named Redheld and Barnes
who had been called by Mrs. Moore to attend
her son, in order TO convince her that her sor
had not been poisoned by the prescription
swallowed each some Of the mixture. The,
soon afterwards left, and both expired sooI
after reaching their homes As an investigation
had not taken place at time Of the report, 1t wal
not known whether the poisoning was the resul
Of the prescription, or a blunder in the prepara
ton OF il by the druggists.
