IN 8 marsh. and the party lay all next day
within sight of passing blockade runners.
After dark the cutter took to the wave
and captured two rowboats filed with
men, who proved to be fishermen from
Wilmington. Gushing impressed them
for guides and reconnoitered all the bat
teries and forts on the river. In his wan
derings he struck the highway between
Wilmington and Fort Fisher, and lay in
wait to capture the mails between those
points. The carrier from Fort Fisher was
secured, but the Wilmington man on ap-
preaching the party in the road suspected
mischief and turned back. Cushing
mounted the horse Of the captured post
man and chased the fugitive almost tt
Wilmington. While Cushing was away
on his chase one Of the sailors exchanged
clothes with the captive mail man and
went to market for food for the raiders,
who were almost famished. His trip gave
him chance to gossip with the citizens
and gain knowledge of the enemy.
After destroying the telegraph Gushing
returned to his boat, sent his prisoners
adrift and started down the river. He had
discovered that the ram Raleigh was a
hopeless wreck, the ram North Carolina
useless because her draft didn't admit OF
passing the bar to attack the Union block
aiding feet, and that the Confederate tor
pedo boats had been destroyed during
scare. On the way to sea the cutter was
headed off by a gunboat and several small
boats filed with men. 1t was night and
the moon shone, and Gushing managed to
turn and double on his pursuers until he
got start on them, and by vigorous row.
ing dashed into the breakers at the Caro-
lima shoa., where the enemy dare not fol.
low. The cutter was SO heavy that she
outrode the breakers and escaped to the
feet. On this raid two Days and three
nights were spent in the enemy's territory.
Cushing's next exploit would cut more
of figure in history but for the fact that
the game he was after happened to be
away when he seized the nest. One night
in February, 1864, he entered Cape Fear
river with six men in a rowboat, pulled
past the guns of Fort Caswell and the
Smithville batteries, landed above the vii
lage and stopped nor staid not until the
headquarters of Gen. Hebert, commanding
the district, were surrounded and the oc-
cupants hailed to deliver up their persons,
arms and papers. The general was in
Wilmington, and two staff officers respond

FROM U.ExPECTED QUARTERS


The Commissioner Of Labor of New
Yolk, Mr.. Peck, Democrat of Demo
Gratis, has issued the summary of his
annual report, and it has come with
startling force to the Cleveland Demo
cratls; for while they proclaim from
every platform that the Mckinley Law
has done such awful wreck with the
wage earners, the 5000 manufacturers
asked show by the figures. and Mr..
Peck approves them, that the wages of
the New York workingmen have been
increased SIX millions of dollars ! Mr.,
Peck says

cause some comment, but it is all non.
sense to call 1t political document.

established. Now, l am a Democrat
a Hill Democrat, if you willard be-
gan this inquiry with the belief that
the result would vindicate the Demo
cratic tariff position. The FIRST returns
came from the silk industry and were
pleasant to my way OF thinking. But
l am free to admit that the report on
the whole is not in harmony with the
Democratic platform, so far as the tar
iff is concerned. However, my duty
as State efflcial is to report things az
/ find them, not as reckless partisan
should ike to have them construed.
There is no political bias about any OF
my reports. All can say Is that the
statements OF my report are based or
actual Iconfdential letters, received from
5000 representatives. of wholesale man
ufactt ers of New York State. The
result EAows me that the leading Dem,
ocratic speakers on the tariff are in
error az to the effects of the Mckinley
bill. The figures in my report speak
for themselves, and there is no getting
away from them"

Cushing's services were not wholly those
of free lance. for between times he was
on routine duty with the feet, sometimes
volunteering and again being chosen by
superiors for fugitive exploits. In the sum-
mer Of 1868 it was known on the blockad-
ing feet that the COnfederates possessed q
couple of rams and some torpedo boats in
Cape Fear river around Wilmington, and
on the night of June 25 Cushing set out
from his ship Monticello in q cuttefxith
two officers and fifteen men and crosssd
the bar. passing some forts and the town
Of Smithville without discovery. On the
way his boat nearly collided with block
ade runner putting to sea, and also with a
Confederate guardboat. The night was
dark until the cutter was abreast of forti-
fled bluff known as the Brunswick bat
teries, when the moon suddenly emerged
from a cloud and disclosed the strange
craft to the enemy's sentinels on shore.
Shots were fired at the cutter and the gar
rison was alarmed. Gushing directed his
men to pull to the opposite shore and
proceed up the river. When within seven
miles Of Wilmington the boat was hidden

Troublesome IFS

If the increased tariff has raised
wages it must-upon the protection
theory-have added to the cost OF pro-
duction.
If it has done this how can prices be
lower?
If the increased duty has not added
to the price of imported goods it has
not given any additional protection to
the home manufacturers.
If the tariff has raised the price Of
farm products it must have added to
the general cost of living.
If the increased duty has not dimin-
ished importations, as the protection
lists now claim, it has not secured a
home market to manufacturers no1
protected wage-earners against the
competition of pauper labor abroad:
II the foreigner pays the duty why
did Mckinley leave the Treasury sc
short Of money?

beginning Of the labyrinth of lies and
paradoxes into which this tariff fol
bounties leads its defenders.-Neat

The Plot Exposed.

The Register has always told its read
CTS that the third party movement in
this district was but a republican move
ment in disguise. If there had been
any doubt as to the accuracy Of that
statement, it was fully removed by the
action of the two conventions recently
assembled at Rocky Mount.
On the 10Th instant the third party
contingent met and nominated for con-
gress, B. T. Jones, of Henry, a repub-
lican officeholder. On the slst, the
republican contingent met at the same
place and decided to make no nomina-
tian, which means. of course, that the
republicans will support Jones. This
was in obedience to the mandate of
General Malone as per his recent cir
cular, and the plot is so thin that the
wayfaring man though a fool can see
through it.
The result, however, is very crafty
