not vessel was reported as passing
through the gateway Of the Virginia

The receipts OF cotton at this port to-
day were S12 bales. Last year this day

all of the crop is being bought up for
SHIPMENT to England in anticipation Of "A
prolonged war between this country and
Spain
A peculiar accident took place at the
works Of the Norfolk Creosoting Com
panv. on Elizabeth river. by which seve-
raj employees narrowly escaped drown
ing. A lOOOO-gallon tank burst, flooding
the vicinity. 1t was forty feet from the
ground and the water descended with
the force OF a cloudburst. No one was
injured.
The naval magazine on ST. Jullans
Creek. which was completed only a few
months since, has proved inadequate 10
the war demand, and is being enlarged
TO accommodate the hundred OF tons Of
ammunition and projectiles it Is now
found necessary to store there. \ large
force Is erecting additional buildings, and
In the mean time Chief-Engineer Lynch

THE UNLUCKY THIRTEEN.

Adjutant-General Tillinghast, of New
York. declares that Governor Black has
not disbanded the Thirteenth Regiment
because il did not volunteer its services
for the war. The regiment was disDa nd-
ed. he says because it disobeyed an or
der of the Governors. Special Order NO.
70 directed that certain regiments, under
the charge of their commanding officers,
should prepare TO go TO camp at Hemp
stead on May I'd. The order was plain.
and contained instructions as to times
and routes. But there was no mention
therein of the war with Spain. While the
members of the regiment might infer
what they pleased, it was not for them
to analyze or question the order. Only a
very small proportion of the regiment
obeyed the order, and consequently the
Governor has dsbanded the regiment.
Recognizing, however, that those men
now at the camp should not be held re-
sponsible for the disobedience of the rest
of the regiment. the Governor has Or
dered that they be formed into a batta-
lion and be attached to the Twenty-se-
ccnd Regiment. which goes to Hampstead
to take the place of the Thirteenth.
1t is further said that upon the return
from the war Of the battalion that has
enlisted. that battalion will be made the
nucleus of a new Thirteenth Regiment.
Many of the officers and men Of the
regiment are trying to get Governor
Black to revoke his order disbanding the
command, but it is not to be presumed
that he will do so, though, really. the
fault seems to have been more on the
part of the colonel than on the part Of
the other officers and men.
