death of better child or nobler and more
promising son. Smart beyond his Years, of
most tender and atfec, tomato disposition, he
WAS possessed OF those traits which made him
the idol of tenderly devoted parents whose
hearts are afflicted with the deepest grief at
their trreparable los The death of this lovely
boy and darling son has created a vacancy in
that household which no sympathy of sorrowing
relatives or friends soiace of time fill.
Nor is this grief confined to adoring parents
He was also the pet of large circle of relatives
and loved by AL who knew him, as mani
tested by the sOrrzwful h carts and streaming

fore the Democratic Convention for
Register of Deeds, and because of de-
feat there, should not ha deserted
our party in that trying time and went
over to the enemy by allowing his
name to stay on the Radical ticket.
He has not bonded as q Surveyor and
MIR. Williams was elected over MIR.
Liston Simpson, Mr.. John A. Jones
has been elected Treasurer in place of
William ]. Bivens, Radical, who failed
to bond also, and gave way in favor
of Mr.. Jones, Democrat. Mr.. Jones
has had some trouble in making up his
bond because ola rumor that he had
paid Bivens for the office. He denies
1t however and Bivens certifies it as
false, Mr.. Jones though will probably
be county Treasurer. The only Off
ces i'll the county yet filled is that of
Coroner and Surveyor, except the
Probate Judge and his bond will be
protested before the Judge because of
its iDefficiency as claimed. So that
really Fender may be said to be With
out officers, and Court only a few
weeks off. The Commissioners meet
here every few days and all they do
pretty much is to caucus in the lbush-
es aud around the corners and log-roll
with Democrats as to the offices and
county site. Shame on what clearly
seems to be intrigue and bargain
ing going on here to-day be-
tween Democrats and Radicals,
and this seems to be the
order of the day all over Fender, and
has been for the last six weeks. The
Radicals elected, failing to give bond,
are cOquetting in all sorts Of low ways
with Democrats, who are doing much
injury to themselves, and their party,
and Fender too, by a disgusting over
anxiety to be elected by Radical Com
If our party brethren who
are SO hot for Office in this county,
would show more modesty and self
respect, and pursue a higher course
than to caucus and bargain SO much
with Radical Commissioners for Office,
the party would not bleed and suffer
as it does. .and the offices would be
mainly filed by Democrats. It was
this insane love of office which mainly
defeated our party here in the April
election, and it seems to be getting
worse every day since. The Board will
meet here again next Monday, 10 go

cry, l suppose, with some slight vari-
atoms that will no doubt add to the
general nausea and contempt as to

failed to give bond again to-day.

to break up the county, and that is
the conclusion of every sensible man

REVIEW
OF THE
WILMINGTON MARKETS,
For THE
WEEK ENDING THURSDAY
June 10. 1878.
REVIEW

COMMERCIAL EPITOME-Busi
ness moves along pretty much in ac-
cOrdance with the actual requirements
of the masses Tor the necessaries of
life, and though the usual Summer
dizziness is settling upon the markets,
the volume of transactions is not far
from the average at this period of tn lie
year.
The naval store business of the
week was up to the general average of
transactions, for the season, but the
market generally exhibited dull and
depressed condition, from which posi-
ton all efforts to relieve on the part of
holders proved unfruitful
The Money market throughout has
been CT aracterized with ease. The
supply of currency is equal to the de-
mands, and the rates OF discount are
unchanged.
The shipments for the week both
coastwise and foreign of naval stores
and cotton as compared with last week
were as follows Cotton 256 bales,
spirits turpentine 2,176 casks, rosin
Ii, 042 bbls., crude turpentine 125
bbls., tar 2, 1926 bbls, against a.: Cotton
819 bales, spirits turpentine 4,434
casks, rosin II, 913 bbls., crude tur-
pentine $50 bbls, tar SIT bbls. for the
last week.
Ocean freights have been as active
this week as last, but the supply of
tonnage offering has not been large.
The chief features of the mark and
the changes of prices of most of the
leading products and manufacture for
the week were as follows:
COTTON-The market has remain
ed quiet during the past week without
change in quotations. Early in the
week there was a fair enquiry but
mostly at prices below the views OF
sellers who refused to grant material
concessions on desirable lots. The
transactions for the week foot up about
so bales at the Quotations below. The
market at the close is quiet and firm.
The receipts for the week were as

Company a, Both N. G. Regiment

man of more than thirty-fve years of
age when the war began, yet he en-
listed in August 1861, aud was con-
spicuous for his GOODNESS and courage
Ill every engagement he was in. At
the battle Of Plymouth, Ransom's bri-
gade, to which he belonged, made
ii <nk movement from whi:h great re-
suits were hoped and which were real
lied. About sunset on the day pre-
ceedlng The fight, his company, which
composed part of the van guard,
came to q creek which it was nee
essary 10 cross. The pontoon train
was some distance TO the rear,
and time ~as precious. A small
boat or hatteau was fastened on the
opposite side CT the creek, and on the
bank was posted a body of Federal
sharp-shooters, estimated to be humid
reds strong General Matt Ransom
rode up, and offered a furlough of
thirty days to any man who would
swim across IN the face Of the enemy's
fire, and bring the boat. Instantly
Mr.. Cavanaugh stripped and plunged
in. He brought the boat over, which
was struck III hundreds OF places by
the balls intended for him. A force
was transported across, and the sharp
shooters were driven from their posi-
ton.
A furlough of eighteen days, that
being the number given to North Car
Dina troops III the Army of Northern
Virginia, was given to Mr.. Cavanaugh
by Gen. Lee. The hero of this ex
plot still lives in OuslOw county.
