PREFACE.
After several months of unceasing toil, and having labored
under the many difficulties incident to a task of the kind, the
publisher is pleased to present to the public the Second Volume
of the Wilmington Directory.
In doing so he would state that, in order to keep pace with
the rapid advancement of the city, no necessary expense has
been spared and every energy has been exerted to render it a
work handsome in style, complete in arrangement, and correct
and useful in all its detail.
In its contents will be found an Historical and Commercial
Sketch of Wilmington, from the earliest date of its existence to
the present time. This sketch has been prepared by a gentle-
man fully qualified to execute the difficult task, at a large ex-
penditure of labor, and after a careful research into all records
tending to develop any facts in relation to the city.
Every attention has been paid to its general arrangement,
all useful information applicable to a work of the kind has been
carefully compiled, and it is hoped will prove correct and valu-
able to all.
The new system of numbering, as recently authorized by the
city government, will be found in its columns, with an explana-
tion of the same attached.
" He that hath much to do will do something wrong," is an
old maxim ; but it is confidently believed that the present volume
has acquired as great a degree of correctness as is attainable in
an undertaking comprising so many difficulties.
With an earnest wish that the Directory may prove fully
equal to the expectations formed of it, and with many thanks
for the kind patronage bestowed upon the past and present
editions, he trusts that each successive volume will merit the
same kind favor so generously awarded the preceding ones.

EXPLANATIONS OF MAP.
The following diagram is intended to represent the position of
the principal streets in the city and to illustrate the Decimal
System of numbering as recently adopted by the City Govern-
ment and which the compiler of the present volume was author-
ized by that body to execute. The plan known as the Decimal
System of numbering, is as follows : —
One hundred numbers are allotted to each opposite square,
each square commencing with a new hundred, thus — We com-
mence at the foot of Market Street and No. 1, and continue
upwards as far as the number of buildings will permit the fig-
ures to run. At the corner of Front street (on Market), the
numbering will commence with 100 and continue as before.
At the corner of Second street the number will be 200, &c.
The even numbers are placed on the left hand and odd num-
bers on the right hand side of each street, beginning at the start-
ing point and running in the direction of the terminus of each
street. Numbers properly arranged suggest distances to the
mind, but when improperly placed lead to confusion, thus it
will be seen that the number 100 on Market street, corner of
Front will readily designate the distance from Water street,
(the starting point of Market) to be one square from Water,
the number 200 on Market, corner of Second, to be two squares
&c.
The city is divided into four Wards, as follows :
The 1st Ward embraces all that portion of the city north of
the middle of Market Street and east of the middle of Third
street.
The 2d Ward all that portion north of the middle of Market
and west of the middle of Third Streets.
The 3d Ward all that portion south of the middle of Market
and west of the middle of Third.
The 4th Ward all that portion south of the middle of Market
and east of the middle of Third.
All Streets designated as north and south — streets run north
and south and cross Market street.

A
HISTOEICAL AND COMMEECIAL SKETCH
OP THE
Cnf^ OF WILMINGTON. N. C.
As a preface or introduction to a work of this nature, it would not be
inappropriate to trace the history of the place itself, from the date of the
earliest authentic records, up to the present time, giving, as nearly as is possi-
ble, a complete sketch of the commercial growth and prosperity of the city.
Such is the aim of the present writer, who hopes that this article may
prove of interest to all — to the general reader, as well as to him who \s
more nearly allied to the mercantile interests of the city.
And yet, the task is no easy one. Bancroft, in his History of the
United States, bitterly complains of the carelessness manifested in pre-
serving the ancient records of the history of North Carolina. The reproach
is a well merited one, and to no section is it more applicable than to that
of the Cape Fear. The history of its past is almost a traditional one.
Records, such indeed as they were, have nearly all been lost or destroyed,
and those who could have furnished us with some gleanings from their
own youthful recollections, have all passed away from the scene. Other
States, and, indeed, some portions of our own State, have had their his-
torians, — men who, while actors and records still existed, have endeavored
to preserve somewhat of the illustrious past for the benefit of future ages.
But, alas ! the Cape Fear has never had its historian. Rich and fruitful
as its past must have been in themes of interest and adventure, of daring
and of patriotism, it has never yet had its recording scribe. Our public
records, meagre and imperfect as they are, are fast yielding to the en-
croachments of neglect and decay, and the private family traditions from
which much might yet be gained, are gradually, yet surely, passing from
the minds of men. Will not the filial hand of some son of the Cape Fear
yet endeavor to gather the scattered sheaves, and bind them together for
the benefit of his own and his friends' posterity? The field is ample, and
although the soil is in some parts unfruitful, yet patient care and toil will,
in the end, most assuredly succeed, and reward the laborer with a work
that would be invaluable to the denizens of the Cape Fear region.
The City of Wilmington, the capital of New Hanover County, and by
far the largest and most principal business mart in the State of North
Carolina, is situated upon the east bank of the Cape Fear river, about
18 SKETCH OF THE CITY.
twenty-eight miles from its mouth, and just below the confluence of its
two branches, the North-East and the N^rth-West Cape Fear. It is in
latitude 34° 12'', and in longitude about 77° and 56''. It is surrounded
on the north, east and south by high, sandy regions of country, covered
with a luxuriant growth of pitch pine. These regions are varied, occa-
sionally, with an intervening piece of low ground, through which generally
flow small streams^ and which ar) covered with a matted, tangled shrub-
bery. Nearer the ocean, however, which is distant in a straight line, in
the nearest places, not more than seven miles, the quality of the soil is
far difiierent. Dense swamps of hickory and oak, covered with clinging
mosses and creeping parasites, and rich hammock lands, bordering upon
the Sound, afibrd as productive a soil for vegetation as can be found in
the entire State. To the west stretches away Eagles' Island, one immense
swamp, partly cleared and devoted to the culture of rice. This Island, in
the spring, is surpassingly beautiful to the eye, — covered, as it is then,
with its tender crop of verdure, and with its lofty forest trees entwined
from root to brow with the honeysuckle and the jasmine. To the florist
and botanist no section of country, for hundreds of miles around it, can
boast of more attractions, and to the more practical eye of the planter, no
spot of land in the South is better calculated for the production of the
great Southern cereal.
The city itself is situated upon the high hills immediately opposite the
north-eastern end of Eagle's Island. Its climate is noted for its health
and salubrity, which are greatly enhanced by the pine smoke arising from
the numerous distilleries and manufactories upon the river banks, and by
the refreshing sea breezes from the east and the south, bringing with them
as they come, the healthful aroma of the pine. The streets are regularly
and neatly laid out, with wide and commodious side-walks and with the
most ample room for vehicles. The soil is of sand, with a thick strata
beneath of limestone, or conglomerate rock. Percolating through the
sands, and finding outlets in numerous natural drains, can be found, al-
ways, clear streams of the purest and softest water. These streams, or
drains, form of themselves, numerous natural sewers, and go far towards
maintaining the inherent health of the city. The high situation, the soft-
ness and salubrity of the climate, and the beauty and safety of the harbor
undoubtedly caused the early settlers to select this as the site of the future
town.
The first attempt to establish a settlement upon the Cape Fear coast
was made in the year 1660 by a party of Puritan emigrants from Massa-
chusetts, who advanced up the river in a little bark, and landed at a
point at_, or near the union of Town Creek with the Cape Fear, and about
SKETCH OF THE CITY. 19
nine miles below Wilmington. Ignorant of the nature of the soil, adapted
peculiarly to them the unknown staple of rice, they endeavored to estab-
lish upon the low lands grazing farms. Equally unable, through ignor-
ance of their qualities to tui*n to advantage the immense quantities of pine
which overshadowed the upland hills, the settlers soon became dis-
heartened, and, after three years of fruitless attempts, having suffered
severely from distress and disease, and from the encroachments of the
Indians, whom they had failed to conciliate, they bent the sails of their
little bark, and the settlement was abandoned to the Indians.
During October of the same year (1663) another vessel arrived in the
Cape Fear, this time for the purpose of reconnoitering the country. This
expedition was sent from Barbadoes, and after exploring the river as far
as Stag Park on its north-eastern branch, returned to Barbadoes in Feb-
ruary, 1664, with a highly favorable account. In the autumn of the
next year (1665) an English baronet, Sir John Yecimans, arrived in the
Cape Fear with a band of colonists, and lauded at a spot very near the
site of the former settlement, and on the north side of Town Creek, on
the plantation now owned by Thomas Cowan, Esq. They established
there a settlement, and purchased of the Indians a tract of land thirty-
two miles square, which was soon after erected into a county, and called
Clarendon, and of which Sir John Yeomans was appointed Governor.
The colony rapidly prospered ; a profitable trade was established between
Old Town and Barbadoes in the exportation thence of boards, staves, etc. ,
the public affairs were managed with prudence and discretion, emigrants
began to arrive in numbers, and the little settlement was fast claiming for
itself the dignity and proportions of a town. Such was its growth that
in 1666, one year after its first foundation, the settlement is said to have
contained upwards of 800 inhabitants. In 1671 Sir John Yeomans was
appointed Governor of what is now the State of South Carolina, but was
then known only as the County of Carteret. He removed thither in the
same year, and was followed by a large number of the inhabitants of Old
Town. From this time may be dated the gradual decline of the settle-
ment, until in 1689 not a single white man remained behind. All was
desolation and silence, and/ the Indians were again left in undisputed pos-
session of the land. ,
From this date, 1689, until the year 1725, a period of thirty-six years,
both traditional, and our scant historical records are remarkably reticent.
Some old and curious accounts there are of the disrepute into which the
Cape Fear river had fallen, on account of the two unsuccessful attempts
which we have mentioned, at colonization, and there are many interesting
traditions of the celebrated pirates, llichard Worley and Steel Bonnet, who,
20 SKETCH OF THE CITY,
it is said, made it their headquarters, yet nothing definite is known until the
year 1725, when Col. Maurice Moore,* having received from the Lords
Proprietors a grant of fifteen hundred acres of land on the west bank of
the river, proceeded to lay ofi" three hundred and sisty acres of it into a
town. The site selected was a high bluff, overhanging the river, about
sixteen miles below Wilmington, and was called by him Brunswick, in
honor of the then reigning family. The lots of the little town were soon
apportioned oif, and settled upon by numerous emigrants; forests were
felled^ agriculture was productive, commerce was opened, and the town of
Brunswick soon became a place of great repute. So much so, indeed,
that not only the sturdy emigrant, bearing his axe and rifle, but many
men of refinement and genius, and of literary tastes, were attracted to its
hospitable port. It was the source from whence Wilmington afterwards
drew, not only its agricultural and commercial energy, but the wit and
genius, and hospitality which so ennobled it in after years. In 1736,
we find there many names which have become familiar, even to this gen-
eration, and which, we can proudly say, have been most worthily perpet-
uated. Among the most prominent of these we find Samuel and John
Swann, Edward Mosely, Alexander LUlington, John Baptista Ashe, the
elder Cornelius Harnett, William Hill, William Hooper, Gen. Thomas
Clark, Chief Justice Allen, William Dry, Archibald Maclaine, the Eagles,
the Quinces, James Hasell, Robert Halton, Armand De Rosset, Benjamin
Heron, Rev. Richard Marsden, Capt. Edward Hyrne, Col. James Innes,
Col. Thomas Merrick, the Claytons, the Rutherfords, the Rices, the
Rowans, the Waiters, the Strudwicks, besides many others, accomplished
gentlemen and erudite scholars.
But, alas! Port Brunswick has become now a thing of the past; its
hospitable roofs have fallen and decayed, and now lie mingled with the same
earth which covers the once joyous inhabitants. Nothing now remains as
a vestige of the past, but the grim and sturdy walls of the old English
church, which have alike resisted the touch of time, and the shot and shell
of the Federal bombardment. | Its old walls seem, indeed, immutable to
decay. Old Brunswick is reckoned as "one of the things that were," and
where was once its peaceful homes and quiet retreats can now be seen only
the guns ahd fortifications of Anderson.
» Col. Maurice Moore is said to have been a lineal descendant of the great Irish patriot,
Roger Moore, and of Sir John Yeomans. His brother was the celebrated "Kjng Roger,"
so familiar, by tradition, to many native Wilmingtonians. There are many descendants
of this family living in and near Wilmington at the present time.
f It is a somewhat memorable circumstance, that during the terrific bombardment of Fort
Anderson by the Federal fleet, on the day and night of the 18th February, 1865, not a shell
or even the fragment of a shell struck the old church, although its walls frowned upon the
gunboats from the immediate rear of Anderson.
\
SKETCH OF THE CITY. 21
The year 1730 may be considered as the natal year of Wilmington. In
that year the first signs of habitable life were seen upon the hills where now
is the prosperous city of Wilmington. In that, and in the ft)llowing year,
some few houses began to spring up, which soon increased to a straggling
village, and which was called Newton and sometimes New Liverpool. In
1783 John Watson, James Wimble, Joshua Grainger and Michael Wiggins
entered into an agreement to lay out a town, and a survey was accordingly
made. In 1735, John Watson received a grant for six hundred and forty
acres, which included the village, under the name of Newton. On the
13th of May, 1735, a "Court of Exchequer" was first held at "Newton,
a small village."
In 1738 the Legislature enacted that circuit courts should be held in
Newborn and Newton. In 1739, at the instance of Gov. Gabriel Johns-
ton, its name was changed, by legislative enactment, from Newton to Wil-
mington, in honor of Spence Compton, Earl of Wilmington, the friend
and patron to whose kindness Gov. Johnston was indebted for his position.
The act permitted the town to Bend a member to the Lower House, and
directed the Clerk of the Court and Register, and the Naval Officer and
Collector, to remove from Port Brunswick to Wilmington. On April 2d,
1745, the Legislature passed an act for building a fort at the mouth of
Cape Fear river, as a protection from the French with whom the English
were then at war. This fort, mounting twenty-four guns, was soon
erected at where is now the town of Smith ville, and was called Fort
Johnston in honor of the Governor.
From this date until the period of the Revolutionary War the sister
towns of Wilmington and Brunswick seem to have advanced with al-
most equally prosperous strides. From the date of the war but little is
known relative to the mother town. The superior advantages of Wilming-
ton as a commercial port, situated, as it is, at the junction of the two
rivers, and possessing a harbor more highly protective to the small river
craft than did Brunswick, may account for its greater prosperity. It
seems that Brunswick was gradually abandoned_, until at length its vital-
ity had all departed, and its strength and resources were absorbed by the
younger town.
In 1738 the Parish of St. James embraced the whole of New Hanover
County. There was then no parish church and from that period until
1747 our ?incestors worshipped in the Court House. In the latter year
Michael Wiggins presented them with a lot, (the same as the present) on
which was afterwards erected St James' Church. This building, it ap-
pears, was nineteen years in course of completion, and, when finished,
was a huge, barn-like structure of brick, without ornament, but of most
22 SKETCH OF THE CITY.
••
ample accommodations within. It was afterwards pulled down in 1839
to make room for the present handsome edifice.
In November, 1748, several Spanish privateers sailed up the river some
distance and committed many depredations. On retiring, one of them
was accidentally blown up, and what that could be obtained from the
wreck was devoted to the benefit of the churches of St. James and St.
Philip's at Wilmington and Brunswick respectively.
In 1750 the Legislature appointed inspectors for export produce.
About this period (1750) it appears that Wilmington suffered often
and disastrously from fires. There was no fire-engine in the place and
the citizens were compelled to depend upon their own individual resources
in the case of a visitation. It was not until the year 1775 that an engine
was introduced into the town.
The statement of Daniel Dunbibben, Treasurer of the town in 1756-57
shows a public revenue of £54 16s.
In 1758 sixty persons owned houses in the town, valued, in the aggre-
gate at £6,625. In 1760 the Assembly countenanced lotteries for the
first time, for the benefit of the churches in Wilmington and Brunswick.
In 1762 the population of the place approximated one thousand persons.
February 25th, 1760, the citizens were granted a charter erecting Wil-
mington into a borough, incorporate, to consist of a mayor, a recorder
and eleven aldermen. John Sampson was chosen mayor and Marmaduke
Jones, recorder. Among those elected as aldermen we notice the names
of Cornelius Harnett, Dan Dunbibben, Arthur. Mabson, Sam Green and
Moses John De Rosset. The borough had power to enact its own laws,
and to send a representative to the Greneral Assembly. Yet it seems that
a portion, at least, of this charter, must have been subsequently set aside,
as we afterwards find the names of five gentlemen chosen as Commission-
ers. In 1762 a law was passed establishing Superior Courts in the dis-
tricts of Edenton, Wilmington, Newborn, Halifax and Salisbury. From
the records of the Common Council dated January 29th, 1765, we ex-
tract the following which is most earnestly recommended to the careful
consideration of the 40th Congress. "Resolved — That the party speaking
shall not leave the subject in debate to fall upon the person of any mem-
ber of the Common Council, or other person."
In September, 1761, a violent equinoctial gale raged along the Cape
Fear coast. It lasted four days and was very disastrous in its effects.
Several houses were blown over, and all of the vessels then in the river,
with one or two exceptions, were driven ashore. Such was the fury of
the storm that the waves forced open a new passage from the river to the
ocean, and New Inlet dates its existence from that time.
SKETTCH OF THE CITY. 23
On September 1st, 1764, the first newspaper ever publlshefl in thi?
section was issued. It was called the North (^^arolina Gazette and Weekly
Post Boy, and was edited and published by Andrew Stewart.
In August, 1774, the citizens of Wilmington sent to the relief of the
people of Boston, who were then suffering many privations from the ar-
bitrary enactments of the British, a large sum of money and a vessel
loaded with provisions. The vessel was tendered free of cost by Parker
Quince, Esq., and the captain and crew refused to receive any compensa-
tion whatever for their services.
And new our sketch approaches the first grand era of American
National History — the contest for independence between thirteen feeble
colonies, and the strength and resources of the most powerful government
then existing upon the face of the earth. And in this, as in aught else
of valor and of patriotism, the escutcheon of our city is a spotless one.
During the long years that tried men's souls, it was borne through the
fiery brunt of battle and the still more terrible ordeal of suffering and of
want, and no stain was found upon it. Held aloft by her sons amid the
terrible scenes at Mexico, its original splendor was still undimmed. And
now, at the close of the four long years of a warfare unexampled in this
Western World, it is stiU held on high, and not even the eye of envy or
of malice can find a tarnish there. Prostrated, robbed and crushed as
we are, that shield is still as bright, as pure as ever, and as immaculate
in its snowy whiteness as if an angel's wing had fanned its polished surface.
North Carolina has truly and justly claimed precedence of the colonies
in a Declaration of Independence, for at Charlotte, in Mecklenburg county
on the 20th day of May, 1775, was drawn signed and sealed, a declar-
ation of her own independence. Yet the Cape Fear, as a section, must
even take precedence of North Carolina as a State. When, in 1765, the
news of the passing of the Stamp Act was received here, it was bitterly
opposed and denounced, and when, in the following year, the British
Sloop of war, Diligence, arrived in the Cape Fear river, laden with the
stamps, she was peremptorily refused permission to land them, and all
intercourse with the shore was denied her. Col. John Ashe of New Han-
over and Col. Hugh Waddell of Brunswick, each with his company of
hardy yeomanry behind him, stood at the quay at Brunswick to meet
them. At their demand the captain of the Diligence promised not to at-
tempt to land the stamps. They then seized the enemy's boat, and rais-
ing a mast and flag, placed it upon a cart and proceeded in triumph to

stamp master be delivered to them. Intimidated by their demands and
threats Try on complied, when Houston was conducted to the Market
House, and in presence of the whole people made to swear never to execute
the act.
Shortly afterwards the Stamp Act was repealed, yet, it had been better
for the British Government had it never been born. It fanned into life
those seeds of independence inherent in the Southern breast, and which
begot bold dreams and ambitious thoughts that eventually culminated in
American Independence.
On June 19th, 1775, the citizens assembled together and unanimously
entered into an association, whose avowed object was resistance, by an ap-
peal to arms, to the forces of Great Britain. A committee of safety was
appointed by them which remained in office until February, 1776. The
actions of this committee were marked by the highest degree of vigor and
prudence, and of foresight in collecting and arranging the means of defence
to the British arms. Their precautions were not premature. War was
imminent. Occupying as they did, a revolutionary aspect, and aware
that they were, at any day, liable to attack from a British squadron, the
patriots of the Cape Fear did not hesitate to cast the die. They knew
that Fort Johnston was the key of the district ; they knew that it was de-
fended by British bayonets, and they knew, too, that therein Gov. Martin,
the executive head of affairs in the State, had taken refuge. They knew,
moreover, that the guns of the Britioh war vessel Cruiser, commanded
the place. Yet, in the face of all this, it was determined that Johnston
should be reduced. Completely cowed by the menaces of the colonists,
Martin caused the guns and stores of the fort to be removed to the Cruiser,
and was himself preparing to follow, when, on the 18th of July, Col. John
Ashe appeared before the walls. Maa-tin fled to his ship^. and the works
at Fort Johnston were burnt and destroyed under the very guns of the
British vessel. Ashe, with his gallant band returned to Wilmington.*
"Thus, nobly, upon the Cape Fear, closed the first act of the drama,
and when the curtain rose again, George, by the grace of God, King,
was King no longer, but the Constitution reigned^ and the free people of
North Carolina governed themselves."
Thus far we have endeavored to trace correctly, as nearly as is pos-
sible, the early history of Wilmington. Historical facts and traditional

records have been gathered here and there and blended into one whole.
AVhat has been -written may be fully relied upon. It is a correct although
an incomplete sketch, and is probably, the only one extant devoted solely
to the one purpose. From this period the Revolution branches oif, and
the history of the Cape Fear section becomes blended with the history of
the common country. Martin, Williamson, Jones and many others have
portrayed events too well and too graphically for this poor pen to attempt
to follow them.
In the war of 1812, and in the war with Mexico, Wilmington was not
behindhand in her zeal in the cause of the national pride and of the State
patriotism. Well indeed maj' the bloody heights and plains of Monterey,
Buena Vista and Palo Alto, and many others, cry aloud to those of the
Revolution, "Behold me; I am worthy of you." And well may the
generation now living revert with pride to the battle-fields of Mexico.
And in the later days, in the days of the drama which has just passed
from the stage, and now, while yet every event and every act is still fresh
upon our minds, and during the quiet which reigns between the close of
the last scenes and the echoing applause of the world, let us pause to in-
scribe some tribute to the memory of those who are of ns, yet not with
us. "The bravest of the brave" that sleep upon the battle-fields of the
Revolution^ or who, sword in hand, fell upon the heights of Monterey, can
claim no prouder place in history than can the humblest of the sons of the
Cape Fear region, who died to prove that they were right. Though
crushed and humbled, though defeated and maligned, yet history shall
proudly point to those "four bitter years," and tell how men can fight
and men can die. Born and bred in the Souths and descended from the
heroes of the past, no other incentive was needed to arouse their own in-
herent patriotism than the cry of their State in distress. That mother
cry could not pass unheeded, and the old and young, the rich and poor
alike sprani forward in the hour of need. They left their peaceful homes
and quiet pursuits for the hardships of the camp, and the uncertain fate of
war. Had there been appealing voices from the desolated mother and
sister, it could not have restrained them. Thank God, there were none.
The women of the South, forever and ever honored be their names, shed
no useless tears of remonstrance or regret, but with a firm hand, although
the soul was trembling, and with a dry eye, although the heart was weep-
ing, they bound about their loved ones the sword and bayonet. And even
in the hour of parting^ they smiled amid their tears, although the prophetic
eye of love told them they were looking their last. They left us full of
life and vigor^ and all of the glorious hopes and aspirations of youth.
But few returned in life, and those few how changed. Some are amongst
26 SK^ETCH OF THE CITY.
US now full of the same vigor with which they left for the war, — but the
many move painfully along. The emj^ty sleeve and the wooden leg tell
what they have undergone. But the great many came back to us no more
in life. The chaplet muy adorn their names, history may blazon their
deeds, and the pitying eye of friend and foe alike may weep over their
pulseless forms, yet to those who grieve all must be in vain. They sleep
and sleep well, for they labored truly and steadfastly to the end. Re-
vered are their names, and hallowed be forever the earth which covers
them.
Wilmington has, indeed, suffered much, and deeply. Many of her
sons of high promise and of sterling worth, of spotless character and of
unimpeachable integrity, have passed away from the earth, and live now
only upou the tombstones of Oakdale, and in the memories of the bereaved
ones. There may be found the names of Meares, Parsley, Cowan, Van
Bokkelen, Wooster, Craig, Moore, Quince, Stevenson, Ellis, Garrison,
Martin, De Rossett, Rankin, Lewis, McRee, Barr, Peacock, Shackelford,
Armstrong, MacRae, Wright, Johnson, Thally, Jacobs, and a host of
others, whose names and deeds reflect undying honor upon the section
from whence they sprung. Sic transit gloria mundi; but the glory which
will be theirs at the awakening shall never pass away.
A-short sketch of Wilmington, during the late war, and of the part which
her gallant sons bore in that memorable struggle, would bai*dly prove
amiss here. \ Although the State did note secede until the 20th of May,
1861, yet more than a month before that she had been committed to the
act. The news of the bombardment and capture of Fort Sumter, by the
Provisional forces, on the 14th day of April, was too much for the
equanimity of the Southern mind. Fired with a patriotic zeal in the ser-
vice of the State, and fearful that Forts Caswell and Johnston, at the
mouth of the Cape Fear, would be seized by the enemy, the young men
of Wilmington rushed to arms. On April 15th Col. John L. Cantwell,
then commanding the 30th Regiment North Carolina Militia, was ordered,
with the volunteer companies attached to his command, to proceed to
Smithville and Caswell, and to occupy the forts there. This order was
countermanded the same day, but the next a final telegram arrived from
Governor Ellis, directing that his previous order be at once put into execu-
tion. On the morning of that day (the 16th,) four volunteer companies
from this city, the Wilmington Light Infantry, Capt, Wm. L. De Rossett;
the Wilmington Rifle Guards, Capt. 0. P. Meares; the German Volun-
teers, Capt. C. Cornehlson; and the Cape Fear Light Artillery, Capt.
John J. Hedrick^ embarked for the forts below. This, and the almost
simultaneous seizure of Fort Macon, in Beaufort Harbor, was the signal
SKETCH OP THE CITY. 27
for the revolution in North Carolina. It is certainly a noteworthy fact,
that the news of the secession of the State from the Federal Government,
and the call upon her sons to arm themselves, was first made known to
the pioneer troops of the Cape Fear, on the parade ground at Fort Cas-
well.
After the seizure of the forts other troops soon began to arrive, and ^
gradually the Wilmington companies were relieved. The Wilmington A a.XjL.\^
Light Infantry were first detached and sent to Confederate Point to build "l.M^C^.^(^
a battery there, which should command New Inlet bar! This batlery was f j^:ljC,<tL. C
built, and was by them called Bolles' Battery, in honor of Captain C. P. P/^','/
Bolles, the engineer who superintended its construction. During the
month of June, the Rifle Guards and the German Volunteers were re-
lieved by other companies, and were sent to Wilmington to recruit their
ranks, preparatory to entering into a regimental organization for the great
and final struggle to come. Here they remained about two months, and
having been fully recruited, were soon afterwards, together with the Wil-
mington Light Infantry, numbered as a portion of the 18th Regiment
North Carolina Volunteers, oflficered by election, by James D. RadclifFe
as Colonel, 0. P. Meares as Lieutenant-Colonel, and George Tait as
Major. The fourth of the pioneer companies, the Cape Fear Light Ar-
tillery, were in July relieved from duty at Fort Johnston, where they
had been stationed, and were sent to Zeke's Island, opposite Fort Fisher,
to assume charge of the works there. This company was afterwards fur-
nished with field batteries and sent to Virginia, under command of Capt.
James D. Gumming, and their former commander, Capt J. J. Hedrick,
having received his majority, was sent to Fort Fisher to assume com-
mand of the works in course of erection there.*
In the meantime, troops were assembling from all parts of the State,
and ofiiers of service from the most distinguished men were daily laid be-
fore the Executive. An Advisory Board was appointed and Warren
Winslow, J. A. J. Bradford and H. W. Guion were its members. —
This board, composed, at the time, the War Office of North Carolina.
It was subject only to the supervision of the Governor, and all applica-
tions for commissions or appointments were laid before it. Incompetent,
as its members were, to fill the position assigned them, this Advisory
Board soon fell into great disrepute, and those who were able to ofler
either men or money for the benefit of the common cause soon found the
shorter road of direct appeal to the executive ear. It was then that John
*I have spoken of these four companies only of all the troops from Wilmington, not
because they are entitled to more credit than pertains to others, but because thev were the
pioneer companies of this section, were formed at the outset exclusively of Wilmingtonians
and gave eventually to the war some of tlie proudest names that this region can boast. '
28 SKETCH OF THE CITY.
W. Ellis, enfeebled in health, and worn by the toil and responsibilities
devolving upon him, sank beneath the burdens of his office. He died in
harness ; died at his post of duty. His name is still dear in the memory
of those who knew him, and the sons of the Cape Fear, in common with
the whole State, proudly cherish his record. Grreen be the chaplets above
his tomb, and revered his memory for ever and for ever.
Upon the demise of the Governor, Henry T. Clark, in virtue of his
office as President of the Senate, assumed the gubernatorial chair for the
remainder of the term for which Gov. Ellis had originally qualified. At
the expiration of that term Zebulon B. Vance, then Col. of the 26th
North Carolina Regiment, was chosen by the people as their State Execu-
tive. And well and nobly did he fulfil the duties assigned him. That he
acted well, let the records of the history of North Carolina tell ; that he
acted nobly let the tale of the sufferings and privations of himself and
family bear witness. He still lives, a witness himself of the terrible
times through which the State has passed. And when, hereafter, the
historian shall speak of the names of those who suffered or died for the
liberty of the South, that of Zebulon B. Vance shall tower proudly amid
them all.
Yet, the Cape Fear river, although unmolested until near the grand
final close of the great war, was, in itself, one of the "back bones of the
rebellion." It was, in fact, one of the connecting links between the Con-
federacy and the outside world. Here the blockaders found their quiet,
and here they disgorged the wealth of stores and munitions with which
they were laden. Here was eventually established the Great Southern
Mart, and merchants from every direction flocked to Wilmington.
The importance of this port as a post, was not, it seems, lost upon
the Confederate Government, even as early as the first year of the
war. Generals Gatlin, Anderson and French were successively placed
in command. New works were projected, new fortifications built, and
requisitions were made upon the War Department for men and material
for the construction of these defences. Yet the work soon lagged for the
want of energy and skill in those commanding the department, and it was
not until November, 1862 that it was commenced in earnest. In that
month General W. H. C. Whiting, by order of the War Department, as-
sumed command of the post and the supervision of the defences of the
Cape Fear. Then was the work commenced with vigor. Himself a
skillful engineer, and possessing but few compeers and no superiors in his
own profession, the practical eye of Whiting soon laid out the defences of
the place. The works at Fort Fisher were vigorously urged forward to
completion. Smith's Island was cleared, and the foundation of Fort
SKETCH OF THE CITY. 29
Holmes established. Fort Pender, at Sinithville, was built, and soon the
guns of Fort Anderson, first called Fort St. Phillip, the last great work of
the defences which yielded to the Federal hands, frowned from the heights
of old Brunswick.
The plans laid out by Whiting for building the defences of the Cape
Fear, called forth the warmest commendations from those to whom the
erection of those defences was entrusted. His own energy and skill seemed
to have reproduced themselves in the minds of those employed to carry
out the designs of his master intellect, and steadily and surely the works
progressed. No means were spared, and no labor, either mental or
manual, was begrudged, that could contribute to the defence of the river. "
Day by day the work went nobly on, and month by month new additions
were made to the defensive strength, until at length numerous guns
looked forth threateningly to the sea from the five principal forts of the
river. Yet, even here, the good work was not allowed to cease. The
larger forts served as nuclei around which to rear others of formidable
resources, torpedoes and sunken obstructions were placed in the river,
batteries frowned from almost every blufi", and the city itself was
begirt with a chain of entrenchments that, even to the veteran soldier,
would appear almost impregnable, so formidable were they in their
strength.
When this and many other generations shall have fallen asleep in the
bos(-m of their mother earth, these works will still remain as monuments
of the zeal and patriotism of the sons of the Cape Fear region.
Of vast importance to the Confederacy, and ranking justly as one of
its chief strongholds, it is strange that Wilmington should have escaped at-
tack until the last year of the war. The nature of its coast, and the strength
and durability of the fortifications below, were enough, however, to deter
the hazard of an attempt, and it was not until December 23d, 1864, that
the enemy dare venture before the guns of Fisher.
On that memorable day the federal fleet appeared in the offing opposite
the fort'and that night, about two o'clock, Butlei*'s Yankee toy, the powder
boat, was exploded near the works, with no other effect, however, than that
of afibrding the Confederates upon the parapet a beautiful display of fire
works, gratis. The next day the federal war vessels, fifty-two in num-
ber, ranged themselves in line of battle opposite Fisher, and about noon
opened a most furious bombardment. The fort replied slowly, but steadily,
until at length, after five hours of uninterrupted contest, the enemy's fleet
retired. The next day the bombardment was resumed with redoubled
fury, and with a terrible energy, unprecedented in the history of the
world. The action is described as a most terrific one. Shot and shell
30 SKETCH OF THE CITY.
were literally hurled en masse at the fort, and the air was filled with tte
shattered iron hail. Yet the gallant defenders stood manfully at their
posts, and hurled their defiance back! to the bombarding fleet. In the
midst of the fight the enemy efi"ected a landing at Anderson Battery, at
the head of the Sound, and advanced to the attack of the fort. Their
assault was assisted by an increase of fire from the fleet, which endeav-
ored to prevent the Confederate infantry from manning the parapet to
resist the expected attack. This was the period of the greatest excite-
ment within the walls of Fisher. Yet there was no shrinking of those
firm hearts. The brave Gen. Whiting and the gallant Col. Lamb, the
Gommandent of the fort, were, themselves, the first aty^very post of dan-
ger. Two more gallant spirits than those of Whiting and Lamb never
yet met together for defence against a common foe. Encouraged by the
noble example of their leaders, the men swarmed to the parapet, and the
enemy was driven back to his entrenchments. At night the fleet ceased
firing and drew ofi", and soon afterwards the entire land force was with-
drawn, and the next day both war vessels and transports were headed to
the North. The fort had conquered, and after the most terrific bombard-
ment the world had ever known, the Federal fleet, having expended over
twenty thousand shot and shell in the futile attempt to reduce Fort Fisher,
was compelled to retire, branded with defeat.
The news of the repulse of the Federal fleet brought great relief to the
aching hearts and anguished minds of those who were left in Wilmington.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day had been fraught with sorrow to many
and with joy to none. But when the glad news came on that happy
night that the Fort was still ours, the reaction was great, and paeans of
joy and happiness arose upon the Christmas air. The defence was a gal-
lant one, and, under the intrepid Whiting and Lamb was due mainly to
those of the Cape Fear region. " Boys were men in those days," so the
gallant Whiting declared on his return from Fisher. Where men dare
show themselves the Junior Reserves of the 4th, 7th, 8th and 9th battal-
ions were to be found. There was no shrinking with them ; no faltering
because of the trembling hand and weeping eye of the mother and father
at home. No duty was neglected, no personal danger avoided, but with
a firm trust in the goodness of their God and the justice of their cause,
those beardless boys stood forward in the hour of danger for the defence
of the principles which they had espoused. Honored for ever be their
names, and if ever a roll is written for the Cape Fear, there can be found
there no prouder title than theirs.
Yet, not only to men and boys must belong the glory of the latter day
history of the Cape Fear, but even the children were not backward in
\ V
SKETCH OF THE CITY. 31
their deeds of patriotism, although those deeds would have graced the
adult. age. It is a fact known to but few, yet, a fact which should be per-
petuated, that on the 24:th day of December, 1864, the first day of the
bombardment of Fort Fisher, a company of the boys of Wilmington,
some of them only ten years of age, and but a few as old as fifteen years,
presented themselves before Col. S. D. Thruston, then temporarily Com-
mandant of the Post, and demanded arms for the defence of their mothers
and their sisters. They declared themselves able to patrol the city and
to guard the prisoners, thereby relieving the post guard, who might be
sent to the front. Col. Thruston referred them to Gen. Holmes, then
temporarily in command here during Gen. Whiting's absence at the fort.
The petition of these little heroes was heard and arms granted them, and
that night they alone comprised the guard over the prisoners of the place.
And when, the next night, came the glad confirmation of the repulse of
the enemy below, those boys were still found at their post, as true to the
trust confided to them as if their leader had numbered fifty instead of fif-
teen years.
History is, proverbially, in many instances at least, untrue. There
are, certainly, some tales told of ancient times, which many persons are
not credulous enough to believe. Yet, let the reader of history search
its pages, and mention a prouder fact than this. Even the legend of the
Spartan boy and the fox, though glossed and varnished by transmission
from age to age, can raise no higher parallel than the devotion of the Wil-
mington boys to the Common Southern Cause.
At last the fatal period arrived when Fisher was doomed to fall, and
when the Confederacy was to receive a vital blow from which it was des-
tined never to recover. On the 13th day of January, 1865, the Federal
fleet again, and suddenly, appeared before the fort in a threatening atti-
tude. Early in the morning their troops were landed at Anderson Bat-
tery, and when, later in the day. General Hoke arrived with his division/
he found their line confronting him, and stretched across the entire pen-
insula from ocean to river. General Whiting, at the first news of the in-
tended attack, had hurried to the assistance of Col. Lamb, and these two
kindred spirits, the heroes of the first fight, now made vigorous prepar-
ations for the second defence. The attack, although not exactly a sur-
prise, was certainly made at, with us, a most inauspicious moment.
Fisher, Caswell, Anderson, Pender and Holmes, the forts near the mouth
of the river, and comprising the defensive strength of the Cape Fear, had
been almost entirely denuded of troops for action at other points, and the
division of our North Carolina general, the gallant R. F. Hoke, was then
stationed near Wilmington. But between Wilmington and Fisher there
5
32 SKETCH OF THE CITY.
intervened some twenty miles of a sandy, tedious road. About two o'clock
on the morning of the 13th, Hoke's command left here for the fort, but
arrived too late to prevent the landing of the Federal troops. In the
meantime, as has been stated. General Whiting left for the front. Yet,
it was with a heavy Heart that he did so. He knew that the attack would
be one of energy and desperation, and would be made with the determin-
ation of retrieving the disgrace of the former repulse, and it was with sad
presentiments of the result of the approaching struggle that he left for
the scene of action. It has been said that he remarked, previous to leav-
ing the city, that he believed Fisher would fall before this attack, and
that if such an event should occur, his friends need never expect to see
him again in life. The people of WUmington entrusted to him and to
the brave Colonel Lamb the defence of that key of the Cape Fear. How
sacredly that trust was received and kept let the glorious defence of Fisher
speak ; let the maimed limb of the still living Lamb, and the wounds and
death of Whiting tell. The voice of prophetic warning that spoke to our
hero general, was a true one. No friend, of those he left behind, has
ever seen him since in life, and not one of those for whom he lived and
died have ever wept above his tomb.*
About noon of the 13th, the fleet opened fire upon the fort, and a bom-
bardment, more terific than the previous one^ soon ensued. The object
of the enemy was plainly apparent. His intention was to cripple the fort
as much as possible by the fire of the fleet, and so make easy a projected
assault of the land forces. In this he was successful. The deluge of shot
and shell was so terrible an one that it was almost impossible to man the
guns, and the majority of the garrison were driven to the bomb-proofs and
kept closely confined there. From noon of the 13th until three o'clock of
the afternoon of the 15th, a period of fifty-one hours, the terrific fire was
continued without intermission. At the last named hour the fire of the
fleet was suddenly raised, and the land forces were discerned moving for-
ward to the assault of the fort. This assault was made in two columns,
each advancing to dififerent points of attack. The first, numbering about
two thousand, composed of sailors and marines, moved up the line of the
sea beach, while the other, about four thousand strong, charged along by
the bank of the river, a ^d made their attack upon the left land flank of
the fort. The first named column was easily repulsed, and was not again
led on. The second was temporarily checked in its advance, but having
been strengthened by reinforcements, again moved forward and succeeded
in entering the fort.
•General Whiting died in prison on Governor's Island, more, it is supposed, from lost
hopes and regrets than from the effects of his wounds. His body was interred at the North
by relatives there, an**«8"iievw;^iet been brought South.
V
SKETCH OF THE CITY. 33
But the prize was not yet gained. Fisher, although destined to fall,
could not be yielded without a final and desperate struggle. The men fell
back in disorder, but not in confusion, and stubbornly contesting every
foot-step of the enemy's advance. From traverse to traverse they retrea-
ted and fought, as fast as the overwhelming numbers of the Federals,
almost by brute force, bore them back. In this way the fight was contin-
ued for six hours, until, at length, the last traverse had been torn from
the hands of the brave defenders, and they were forced beyond the enclo-
sure of the fort. And thus was Fisher captured — it was never surrendered.
The conflict ceased, and, about mid-night, there being no means of es-
cape to the main laud. General Whiting was compelled to surrender his
little band of heroes to General Terry as prisoners of war. In this en-
gagement, our own loss, although severe, was yet slight in comparison to
that sustained by the enemy. The Confederate list of casualities amounted
to about two hundred and fifty in killed, wounded and missing, (the latter
having escaped) while that of the Federals, according to their own state-
ment, was over eight hundred. General Whiting and Colonel Lamb were
both wounded severely. Whiting, in all, received three wounds, the last
having been the most serious. This last wound, by a minie ball in the knee
and thigh, was inflicted early in the engagement, and while the General
was rushing to the parapet to tear down the Federal flag, which the enemy
had succeeded in planting there.
Thus fell Fort Fisher, after as gallant a defence as the historian has
ever been called upon to record.
This fort had justly been considered as one of the most impregnable
series of works upon the entire Atlantic coast, and the Confederacy, from
one end to the other was thrilled with surprise and dismay at the news of
its loss. Had the management of military affairs in this section been left
in General Whiting's hands, that surprise and dismay might never have
appalled the Southern heart. General Bragg was, at that time, in com-
mand of the Department of North Carolina, and General Whiting, by far
the abler man of the two, was, through some strange reasoning of the
War Department at Richmond, made subservient to him in his command.
Hoke's division, consisting of Clingman's, Hagood's, Kirkland's and Col-
quitt's brigades, had, by order of Bragg, yet in the face of a protest from
General W^hiting, been removed from the vicinity of the fort, where it had
been stationed, and brought to Wilmington. Afterwards, and a few dayg
previous to the final attack upon Fisher, Whiting received information that
the Federal fleet had sailed southward from Beaufort Harbor. This news
General Bragg either disbelieved, or affected to disbelieve, and, in conse-
quence, at the time that the fleet appeared opposite Fisher, General Hoke
34 , SKETCH OF THE CITT.
was at Wilmington, and the fort, in a measure, unprepared for an attack.
"Y^^t, even at this time, had an efficient officer been in command, the re-
sult of the previous negligence might have been remedied. Hoke, as we
have said, found upon his arrival near the fort, that the enemy had en-
trenched themselves across the entire neck of land. Yet these entrench-
ments, slightly and hastily thrown up as they were, might have been
easily carried by a gallant and determined charge. To this end, Hoke re-
ported to General Bragg, after a personal reconnoissance made by him,
and entreated of him permission to make the attack. This Bragg refused
to allow as inexpedient, and Hoke's gallant men were forced to lie inactive
behind their own works, while their friends were exposed to a deluge of
iron hail hurled from six hundred Federal guns, and continued for more
than fifty consecutive hours. During the progress of the bombardment,
General Whiting, anticipating a final assault from the land forces, and
fearing that his little garrison would be overcome, repeatedly and urgently
requested of General Bragg that reinforcements be thrown into the fort.
His appeals were unheeded, until, upon the morning of the 15th, in the
Dpen daylight, at the last moment, and under a furious fire from the fleet,
two regiments landed upon the river front and succeeded in reaching the
fort. If it was intended to send others, it was then found to be too late,
for scarcely had the new comers breathing time, ere they were called to
the parapet to repel the assaulting columns. This was a terrible ordeal.
The destructive fire from the enemy's fleet had either dismounted or ren-
dered useless every gun upon the land front, the palisades were nearly all
torn away, and the subterranean batteries, from which so much had been
hoped, were no longer in the hands of the garrison. The ploughing of the
enemy's shells in the earth had severed every line leading to the concealed
mines, and nothing but the broken and useless wires remained in the hands
of the Confederates.- Under these circumstances it is not strange that'an
assaulting force of six thousand men, protected in their advance by so
terrible a fire from an immense sea armada, succeeded in reaching and
entering the fort and wresting it from the hands of its brave defenders.
Yet, even at the time of the assault an efi"ort might have been, hut was
not made by General Bragg for the relief of the fort. This could have
been done by charging with Hoke's division into the Federal entrench-
ments when their forces moved out to the attack of Fisher. It is said that
Hoke, in this instance, preferred a request to General Bragg, that he
might be ordered to do so, but, as on the former occasion, his petition was
refused. The success of the projected advance of Hoke, was, at all
events, as probable as its failure. One advantage, at least, of the move-
ment was an assured one. It would have created a diversion of the
SKETCH OF THE CITY. 35
enemy's assaulting column in favor of those who were defending the fort,
and, by that means, would, probably, have turned the tide of battle.
Fort Fisher fell, and the same night the works south of it, and com-
manding Main Bar, called, respectively, Forts Caswell, Holmes and
Pender, were, with some other minor works, destroyed and abandoned,
and their garrisons withdrawn to fort Anderson. It was plain that Wil-
mington would be eventually at the mercy of the foe, but it was not yet
to fall. Anderson still looked defiantly from the ruins of old Brunswick,
works of less strength above it, yet held their Confederate defenders, tor-
pedoes and sunken obstructions lay hidden in the bed of the river, and
Hoke was strongly entrenched between the enemy and Wilmington. At
length, on the 17th of February, a portion of the Federal fleet steamed
up the river and opened fire upon Fort Anderson. Their fire was
returned slowly and deliberately and Col. Hedrick who commanded the
fort, with his men, worked the guns as deliberately as if at target prac-
tise. In the meantime Schofield had moved up from Smithville with aland
force of eight thousand men, to co-operate with the fleet in the reduction
of the fort. Here he found Hagood's brigade, which Hoke had thrown
over to the assistance of the garrison, strongly entrenched and efi"ectually
barring his advance. Hagood's left rested on the fort and his right on
Orton Mill Pond. Schofield, finding his path so thoroughly obstructed,
made a detour to his left around the pond, which was about nine miles
in circumference, with the intention of striking Hagood upon the flank.
This movement could not be opposed with the small force in hand, and
the immediate evacuation of Anderson was imperative. On Sunday mor-
ning, the 19th, before day, the guns were spiked and the defenders of the
works silently withdrew. This fort had justly been considered as almost
impregnable. The terrific bombardment of the fleet had left it compara-
tively uninjured, and it has been said, that had a sufiicient land force been
there to protect the rear of the fort, that Anderson could never have been
captured.
The little garrison retreated rapidly and paused the same day at. Town
Creek, where a few entrenchments had been hastily thrown up. The next
day the line of retreat was resumed, and that night they reached Wil-
mington. The following day, in the forenoon, a band of blue coats, with
their national flag above them, could be easily descried marching gaily
along the causeway on Eagle's Island. They were the advance of the
Federal army, and came to take possession of the city, not knowing that
the defenders of Anderson were still within it. Pitying their ignorance
of the rules of military etiquette, a polite reminder in the shape of a
Whitworth shell was sent them from the corner of Front and Market
36 SKETCH OF THE CITY.
streets. The intimation was a plain one, for, when the smoke arose not
a blue coat was to be seen. They endeavoured again to advance, but a
few more shell drove them back in confusion. Skirmishers were then
sent from the city, accompanied by one Whitworth piece. The enemy on
their side advanced their skirmishers, and for a. season the causeway oppo-
site the city presented to many ladies and children a novel and interesting
scene.
In the meantime, as soon as Anderson had been evacuated, Hoke had
fallen back gradually upon the city, yet always with a firm step and a
defiant front. Early on the morning of the 22d he reached Wilmington
and effected a junction with the forces of Hagood and Hedrick. It was then
that Wilmington fell, and with it expired many hopes for the final success
of our arms. Slowly and reluctantly we bade it good bye, and followed
the waning fortunes of the country. Two months afterwards those for-
tunes were decided, and one by one, in rags, and poverty, and want —
conquered, depressed and suffering, the remnants of the noble men of
Wilmington returned to their homes. But Appomattox and Greensboro
ave back but few of those that the Cape Fear Region knew.
Wilmington, previous to the war, was fast claiming for itself a com-
mercial reputation as one of the most prosperous cities of the South.
With a safe and commodious port, with an energetic class of merchants
and the outlet of highly productive portions of the State, it is no wonder
that its character for commercial enterprise and activity ranked high in
the mercantile world. With a line of Rail Road, the Wilmington and
Weldon, extending northward to the Virginia boundary, throughout a
rich pine country, and forming a portion of the great through line of
travel from New York to New Orleans ; with the Wilmington and Man-
chester road stretching through the Southern pine regions of the State,
and terminating in one of the richest cotton sections of South Carolina,
and with another, the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Rail Road,
completed for upwards of one hundred miles, and piercing near the cen-
tral portion of the State, it is not strange that these improvements should
have poured into Wilmington such an amount of rich products as served
to give its commercial enterprise a new impetus, and to urge its citizens
forward in. the grand mai-ch of commercial prosperity. Nor were these
roads alone the sole sources by which the commerce of the city was bene-
fitted. Steamers plying between this place and Fayetteville, brought
daily into the market the rich products of the more upper counties. And
not only the agricultural productions of those counties, but their vast
mineral resources were fast becoming developed, and cargoes of iron and
SKETCH OF THE CITY. 37
of copper ore were brought forward, an evidence of the rich mineral
wealth of that section of the state, all seeking a market here.
Nor was this all. The eastern counties of the state, with their vast
yearly products of corn and bacon, were also commercially tributary to
Wilmington. Large amounts of these two articles were regularly received
here upon the market, and formed in themselves, no inconsiderable por-
tion of the barter of the place.
In the midst of all this prosperity the war came and wrought its changes.
Commercial activity was paralyzed. A Federal blockade was placed upon
our inlets, every available man was needed in the Southern armies, and
the rail roads and steamboats that had lately filled our wharves and ware-
houses with the native products of the State, were needed for other and
far different purposes. The transportation of cotton, tobacco, wheat, naval
stores, etc., was changed suddenly into a means for the removal of troops,
army supplies, and munitions of war. Trade was necessarily abandoned.
The field and the warehouse were alike deserted ; and the industrious far-
mer, the enterprising merchant, and the skillful artisan were quickly
transformed into Southern soldiers. The ploughshare was left in the fur-
row, and the pruning hook was buried. All was war ; men thought, and
spoke and read of nothing but battles, and commercial enterprise, in gene-
ral, was looked upon as a thing of the past.
Yet, as the months rolled on, the superior advantages of the place began
to exhibit themselves, and a new species of commerce became gradually
inaugurated. The low, swift, English-built blockade runner, became a
frequent guest in our waters. These steam-strangers soon multiplied;
the Federal blockade was set at naught ; nothing in the American navy
could compete in speed with those daring Englishmen, and at night, run-
ning swiftly and silently past the dark sea sentries of the coast, the block-
ader was seen, by the morning's light, safely ensconsed under the guns of
Fisher or of Caswell. This, in a measure, and upon a new system, revived
somewhat of the dormant spirit of our enterprise, and Wilmington began
again to assume the appearance of its old activity. Merchants and steam-
ship agents from abroad soon flocked to the city, railroad trains were filled
with cotton and naval stores either for the government or for private par-
ties, new buildings and new warehouses were erected to accommodate the
increasing supplies. Government factories and storehouses were built on a
vast scale, and the constant bustle attendant upon the arrival and depar-
ture of the blockade running steamers, gave the place the appearance of
great commercial activity.
The exportation of cotton and naval stores, and the arrival here from
abroad of army supplies and munitions of war of all kinds, between the
38 SKETCH OP THE CITY.
dates of May 20th, 1863, and December 31st, 1864, was indeed immense.
The Army of Northern Virginia, during that period, drew much of its
supplies from this source, and a large per centage of the army munitions
furnished to the different Ordinance and Quartermaster Departments of
the Confederate States was received by blockade runners through this
port. Even the Comm'ssary was indebted to this source for his largest
supply of "Nassau bacon," a diet coarse and repulsive to those who have
never felt the pangs of hunger, yet, to our half-starved troops in Vir-
ginia, as welcome as was the manna from heaven to the famishing children
of Israel.
It is a matter of great regret to all, that a correct record of the block-
ade steamers, and their operations in the Cape Fear River, during the
four years of the war, has never been preserved. The wholesale destruc-
tion of valuable public documents and papers by both Confederates and
Federals upon the occupation of this place, has entailed with it the loss
of much information, that would prove, now and hereafter, of great value,
not only to this community, but to the world at large. Every endeavor
to recover some of those valuable records has proved unavailing. The
papers were destroyed to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy,
and the books were surrendered to the Federal authorities, and it is pre-
sumed, were by them sent to Washington City.
From the only authentic sources of information at my disposal now I
am enablea to give but a partial record of the arrival of blockade runners
at this port during the term of the war. For this information I am indeb-
ted to the kindness of Mr. Gr. W. Williams, for many years Harbor Mas-
ter of this port. The account furnished from his own private memoranda,
is as follows:
From May 20th, 1863 to December 31st, 1864 260
Prior to iMay 20tli, 1863 15
After December 31st, 1864 10
Total 285.
This list, it must be remembered, is not given as a strictly correct one, yet
it is perhaps the only one extant, and approximates as closely to the truth
as private and hasty memoranda could well do. It certainly cannot be
far from correct.
All records of the exports and imports during that period have been
lost or entirely mislaid^ and so far as can be ascertained, the private notes
of the then Harbor Master, is all that remains to tell the tale of the
blockade.
At the close of the war, and upon the re-opening of the port, fearful and
gloomy anticipations were indulged, relative to commercial transactions
SKETCH OF THE CITY.
39
The country had, apparently, become entirely denuded of all native pro-
ductions. But little cotton and no turpentine had been made during the
existence of the war, and it was thought that the demand foi home manu-
factures and tor foreign shipment, had swept away almost the last bale
and the last barrel. Yet, as soon as it became apparent that shipments
could be made North with perfect security to the shipper, the market
became suddenly flooded with cotton and naval stores. And month after
month the influx and exodus of produce continued, and to such a degree
that a great scarcity of shipping accommodations was soon felt, and
freights rose in proportion to the demand for them.
Nearly two years have now passed away since the first attempt was
made in this city to shake off the evil effects of the war, and to raise Wil-
mington again to its former proud position among the maritime cities of
the South. During those two years much has been effected The rem-
nants of the people, impoverished, yet not disheartened by the loss of
their estates, have resolutely put forth their own shoulders to the wheel,
and with an energy and an industry that have yet to find a superior, and
in the face of diflaculties and embarrassments that would have utterly
appalled weaker hearts, they have succeeded once more in placing them-
selves on a secure commercial basis. The following statement is a fair
exhibit of commercial operations during the year 1866, as compared with
those of 1860. When the impoverished state of the country and the
scarcity of reliable labor is considered, the account given here will be
found a most flattering one.

40 SKETCH OF THE CITY.
Thus it will be seen, by the foregoing tables, that the merchants of
Wilmington, not content with supplying foreign markets through the
medium of Northern ports, have themselves, in a measure, opened a direct
foreign trade, and have made shipments of North Carolina produce to many
of the principal ports in Europe, the West Indies and South America.
With Havana, Matanzas, Cardinas, Nassau and Porto Rico of the Indies,
and with Rio de Janeiro and other of the principal ports of South America,
these shipments have assumed a steady and permanent character. The
exportation hence to those ports of lumber, shingles, staves, naval stores,
etc., has been balanced in return by heavy importations of the products of
those more tropical ports, such as molasses, sugar, coffee, fruits, etc.
The importation of these articles has gradually worked a material change
in the character of business at Wilmington. Formerly, merchants, not
only from the interior sections of the State, but even from Wilmington
itself; were in the habit of purchasing in New York, at second prices, their
entire supplies of sugar and coffee. But it was at length ascertained that
these same articles could be imported direct, and sold in Wilmington as
cheaply as they could be purchased in New York city, and the merchants
of this and of the adjoining States, having ascertained this fact, directed
their orders to this place instead of to New York, thereby saving the
expense of transportation from that city to their own places of business.
The productions of the different sections of country connected immedi-
ately with Wilmington by commercial intercourse, are various. The
pine regions extending along the entire line of the Wilmington and Wel-
don, and the Wilmington and Manchester, and for a great distance on the
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Rail Roads, as well as the sections
traversed by the two Cape Fears, and the South and the Black rivers, is,
perhaps, the richest turpentine and timber region in the world. From
these different sections immense quantities of turpentine, tar, pitch, rosin,
lumber, and other products peculiar to a pine country are obtained, and -are
constantly seeking a market in Wilmington.
Of late years the cultivation of the great Southern staple of cotton has
been attempted in this section, and has met with much success, although
the larger portion of that product which reaches this City, arrives by the
way of the Wilmington and Manchester and the Wilmington, Charlotte
and Rutherford Rail Roads. The corn market is principally supplied by
means of small coasting vessels, trading between this port and the eastern
towns of the State, which bring the products of those sections to this city,
and return laden with merchandize purchased here.
The upper and more central counties produce, principally, tobacco,
wheat, oats and rye, a large proportion of which finds its way to Wilming-
SKETCH OF THE I'lTr. 41
ton by means of the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Rail Road,
and of the steamers plying regularly between this place and Fayetteville.
And not only is the city benehtted by the transmission of these articles
through her port, but she sends in return, to those .same counties, a large
per centage of the merchandise used by the inhabitants.
There are also sections of the State in intimate connection with this city
which abound in rich supplies of mineral wealth. This is especially true of
the counties of Chatham and Moore, which communicate directly with Fay-
etteville, by means of the Fayetteville and Coal Fields Rail Road, the ter-
minus of which is, at present, at Egypt, 'in Chatham county, about forty-
two miles from Fayctteville. These counties, although little known as
such, are incalculably rich in the mineral wealth which lies hidden within
them. Coal and iron especially are to be found in immense quantities;,
and mines have been established, and have been in successful operation
for many years past. During the period of the late war these mines fur-
nished a large portion of the iron and coal used in the Confederate arsenals
and workshops, in this and in the adjoining States, all of which found an
outlet through this city.
As an evidence of the extent and wealth of the Deep River Coal Fields,
we would refer to the official account given of them, by Dr. Emmons in his
Reports for the years 1852 and 1856. They are there described in detail,
and the curious reader will find much in them to repay his research. —
Dr. Emmons reports that the coal of this district is of the best quality of
bituminous coal, is excellently well adapted to the manufacture of gas and
iron, and is in such great quantities, that it may be considered as being
actually inexhaustible. The area of the beds is over forty square miles,
containing more than 6,000,000 tons to the mile, in all the enormous
quantity of 240,000,000 tons. The yield of the beds, therefore, would
approximate 1,000,000 tons annually for the next three centuries. There
are also bituminous slates connected with this coal, of which Dr. Emmons
says : ' ' From 30 to 40 gallons of crude kerosene oil exist in every ton of
these states. They are from 50 to 70 feet thick, and it is proper to state
that it is a better oil than is furnished from coal." These reports were
fully confirmed by Admiral Wilkes in the report made by him to the
Secretary of the Navy in the year 1859. He was, if possible, more
enthusiastic upon the subject than was Emmons. He remarked, to a
gentleman of this city, after his vitit to the Coal Fields, that there was no
section of country in the world of the same area as Chatham and Moore
counties that was as rich in mineral resources, as are they.*
• It is my impression that the reports of Emmons and Wilkes may be found upon the
shelves of the Wilmington Library Association.
42 SKETCH OF THE CITY.
Besides the large quantities of coal and iron found in this Deep River
section there are yet many other minerals which would alone enrich the
two counties. The wealth of that portion of the St^te is actually incalcu-
lable, and the only thing needful for its development is combined energy
and capital. The day must soon come when the overburdened earth will
be made to yield some portion of its hidden riches, and when that day
does come, Wilmington must certainly be benefitted thereby. It is the
mart to which that whole section looks as the natural outlet for its pro-
ductions, and the influx of mineral wealth from thence will serve greatly
to enhance the commercial importance of the already prosperous city.
I am indebted to a gentleman of this place, one of the most eminent
men of the State, and one who has taken great interest in the develop-
ment of the Deep River minerals, for the following list of the various pro-
ductions to be found tiiere. I quote from him, verbatim:
1. Coal.
2. Iron — black -band ore and several varieties, at "Ore Hill," near
Deep River, and at "Buckhorn Falls," 15 miles from Egypt, down
the river.
3. Copper — both yellow and grey ore, in large quantities.
4. Millstone rock, immensely valuable, and sent for from far and near
for many years past.
5. Roofing slate. Prof. Emmons speaks of it as the best in America.
6. Fire Clay. Sandstone, both brown and grey.
7. Soap stone, (algamatalite.) This kind, silky and white as snow,
has been sent from Wilmington in large quantities for ten or twelve
years past.
8. Petrolium is now being bored for, and is confidently believed to be
there."
But it is not alone to the Deep River section that the city of Wilming-
ton can look for mineral supplies. The chartered line of the Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford Rail Road pierces another rich portion of the
State. This road is yet incomplete, but, thanks to the indomitable" energy
of those who have charge of its afi"airs, cannot remain so long. In a short
time it will have extended its arms westward to the mountains of the Ten-
nessee line, and have embraced in its route the richest sections of the Blue
Ridge country. The counties of Cleveland and Rutherford are particu-
larly rich in their hoards of mineral wealth. Alum and copperas slates
abound in vast quantities there, and during the war furnished the Southern
States with much and valuable chemical material. It has been estimated
that these two counties contain at least 100 square miles of these rocks,
and that ihey would, for a great many years to come, prove fertile enough
c
SKETCH OF THE CITY. 43
to supply half of the continent with copperas. The productions, therefore,
of these regions, by the contemplated completion of the Tennessee line of
the W. C. & R. R. R., would naturally seek an outlet here. And not
only the counties bordering upon the immediate line of road would be
benefitted thereby, but the rich ore tracts of the more distant portions of
the State would pour their stores of wealth down its extent to the sea
coast.
North Carolina is, beyond a doubt, the richest State either within or
without the Federal Union. But her riches lie buried in the earth, and
have never yet been brought forth to the light of day. That they have
not been developed may be ascribed to the most natural of reasons.
Much of the mineral wealth of which she boasts lies hidden back in
the bosom of the hills and the mountains, far westward of the Atlantic
coast. There has as yet been no outlet for them, neither navigable
streams or rail road irons to encourage the citizens to unearth their treas-
ures for a market. This has been the case heretofore, but a reaction is
even now taking place. The results of the war have left us all dependant
upon new resources for a support, and those who were before too inert to
explore their own treasures have been aroused by a stern necessity from
their inaction. Enterprise has become the order of the day, and our
people are beginning to realize the fact that their own mother earth con-
tains, deep hidden in her bosom, the means of their future prosperity.
Coequal with the march of internal improvements, will be new discoveries
and new explorations, and the results of both combined, will be individual
wealth and State prosperity. But just so long as the people withhold
their aid from the rail roads, just so long will that wealth and that
prosperity be delayed. The legislature has done much, and all that could
be expected of it ; individual enterprise must do the rest. The citizens
of Wilmington, long noted for their commercial energy and enterprise,
should not allow the Charlotte Railroad to languish for want of their aid.
It is a work which, when finished, will pour into the lap of the new made
city untold stores of mineral and agricultural wealth. Could this fact be
fully realized by those who have the ability to aid in the work, surely the
means would soon be found to second the will. Build this Road to the
Western frontier, and men will soon be digging deeply into the earth.
Complete the Road and establish the mines, and you will build up our
city quickly and surely.
Wilmington, in common with many other of her sister towns and cities,
has suffered often and seriously from the terrible scourge of fire: so much
60 indeed, that these visitations have, from time to time, seriouisly re-
tarded its growth. Scarcely would the citizens have recovered the effects
44 SKETCH OF THE CITY.
of one blow, ere they would be called upon to suffer again. The old
chronicles tell us that in November, 1798, a most destructive fire oc-
curred. On July 2'2d, 1810, three stores and five houses, situated near
what is now the corner of Market and Second streets, but then known as
Mud Market, were consumed by fire caused by lightning. In 1819,
there was a most terrible conflagration, and the four squares bounded by
Water, Princess, Second and Dock streets, were destroyed. In 1827,
the square south of the site of the present Market House, was again burnt.
In 1840, the square north of the Market was consumed for the second
time, together with the Court House, which then stood at the intersection
of Front and Market streets. In 1843 occurred the most serious con-
flagration of any. On April 30th of that year a fire originated in the alley
just north of the Cape Fear Bank building, and swept with rapid strides
to the north. All exertions to check it were, for a time, in vain, and it was
not until everything west of Front street and north of the Bank alley, and
portions of every square east of and bordering upon the same street, and
north of Chesnut were consumed, that its fiery course could be stopped.
This fire also destroyed the workshops and buildings of the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad Company, and the Methodist Episcopal Church,
then situated, as now, upon the corner of Front and Walnut streets.
Three years afterwards, in 1846, the square next south of the market
house was again destroyed by fire, and for the third time. V"
The excellent health of this city would appear, at first sight, to those
who knew not whence to ascribe it, as somewhat remarkable. The
stranger, arriving here for the first time with the intention of making this
his home, shudders as he glances over the way at the almost impenetrable
swamps and morasses of Eagles' Island, and doubtless he is often dis-
turbed in his sleep by dim visions of ague, and of bilious and typhoid
fevers. His fears would seem perfectly natural, yet they almost invariably
deceive him. The miasmas springing from the swamps and rice fields
opposite the city are, no doubt, deadly in their nature, yet, as they arise
and seek to float above the city, they are checked by a more powerful
agent. The healthful qualities of the pire, as they escape with the smoke
from our numerous mills and distilleries and steamers, meet and mingle
with this miasma^ and rob it of its power to injure. At the same time,
the numerous natural drains which abound from the northern to the
southern extremities of the place, bear with them to the river all filthy
and decaying substances. As a proof of the salubrity of the city, there
can be no better evidence than is to be found upon the book of interments
at Oakdale Cemetery. In this cemetery all interments are required to be
made, and in 1859, the last year for which the records have been published,
SKETCH OF THE CITY. 45
the number of burials was but 112, out of a population reckoned then
at from 9,000 to 10,000. And all of these deaths were not from natural
causes. Some died by violence, some when mere children in arms, and
some again ere their eyes had ever unclosed to the light of day. Cannot
the mortuary statistics of our city challenge comparison with those of any
other. North or South?
True is it that Wilmington has been visited by epidemics, but only in
a few isolated cases^ and then, in each instance, the disease was im-
ported into its limits from other places. It is next to impossible for the
climate itself to breed any of those terrible scourges which have so often
ravaged the world; yet it, like all wheres else, is liable to disease through
infection or contagion. And it too<4ike other places, has suffered severely
by these visitations from abroad .Xlu S^tember, 1S21, the yellow fever '
appeared here for the first time. It was introduced by means of the brig
"T John London, from sQme port in the West Indies. ,^t raged with great
violence for about six weeks, and a large proportion of the citizens of the /,
little town, then numbering only about 2,500 inhabitants, were swept
away by it. And in the autumn of 1862, its ravages here were terrible.
In this instance, as in the former, it was imported from the Indies, and
on this occasion by the steamship Kate, a blockade runner, trading be-
tween this port and Nassau. . For over ten weeks it raged with terrible
violence, and at a period too when it was most difficult to combat its
effects. Medicines and provisions were both scarce and high in price,
and the little luxuries needed for the convalescent were most difficult to •
obtain. Those of the frightened inhabitants that were able to do so, fled
the town ; all business was abandoned, and the closed stores and silent
streets gave the place the appearance of a deserted city. It was then, in
that time of distress and suffering, that a few of the noble spirits of Wil-
mington arose equal to the emergency. Regardless of self, many of our
oldest and most valued citizens remained behind to minister to the wants
of those who were unable to leave. Distributing food to the poor, medi-
cine and attendance to the sick, consolation to the dying, and holy burial
to the dead, they remained behind when many else had fled, and nobly
fulfilled the trust they had assigned themselves. Many of them escaped,
but some fell, and those some from the ranks of the most honored and
esteemed citizens of the town. Rest they well, and rest they calmly.
They need no monument above their tombs ; that is to be found in the
hearts of those who knew them. X
The disease finally vanished, and the reassured inhabitants returned to
their homes — returned to find many familiar faces gone and friendly
voices stilled. Few of those here then can ever forget that fearful time
t/^
46 SKETCH OF THE CITY.
of woe. Not even the sad and bitter memories of the war can banish
from the mind those weeks of suffering, disease and death.
Yet these memories belong only to the past; the present and the future
is not of or with them. The war closed, and the great stone was rolled
against those cavernous years. We are a new people ; what we were
before and during the war, we are not now. The necessity for action is
spurring us on, ever onward. Men have not time to think of the past;
the present and the future claim each waking thought. Yet sometimes
the olden days come back to us, and at night, in dreams, when the soul
is not our own, we live again those bitter years, and walk with those who
walk not now on earth.
The City of Wilmington N. C.^ was born on Thursday, the Sth^day of
March, 1866. The act, incorporating it into a city, was ratified by the
Legislature on the 20th of February, and on March 8th, it was accepted
by the citizens through the ballot box. On the same day an election was
held for Mayor and eight Aldermen. A. H. Van Bokkelen was chosen as
the first incumbent of the Mayoralty for the term expiring on the first day
of January, 1867, and on the 10th day of March he entered upon the
duties of his ofiice. At the same election, S. D. Wallace, R. J. Jones,
James G. Burr, James H. Ryan, W. H. Lippitt, 0. G. Parsley, A. E.
Hall and Wm. A. Wright, were chosen as Aldermen.
This incorporate privilege, while it could not add to the commercial
prosperity of the city, was yet an evidence of the increased importance of
the place, in that more extended authority was needed for its government.
That a change has been wrought for the better, there are few, even of
those most strenuously opposed to the act, but will admit. Yet this
change was not needed to incite to renewed commercial enterprise. That
was inaugurated at the close of the war, and has not only never waned
since, but is steadily on the increase, and is fast reaping its own rich fruits.
This may be seen in the gradual extension of the habitable sections of the
city, in the improvement of the old, and in the erection of new buildings
in the business portions, and in the rapid increase in the arrivals of coun-
try produce. Wilmington, even now, in proportion of population, is far
in advance of auy of her southern sisters, and we may safely assume, that
the day cannot be far distant, when she will stand in the front rank among
the proudest commercial marts of the south.
And here our sketch must close With an unskillful pen, yet with an
earnest desire to preserve some of the fast fading relics of the past, the
task was assumed. Aware of the many imperfections with which it
abounds, we would disarm criticism by a candid acknowledgment of its
faults. And knowing how imperfect it is in diction, and how incomplete
in detail, we would beg for it the leniency of the public. It is but a col-
lection of little waifs, gathered here and there, which, separate, would
perhaps soon have been lost^, but which gathered together, may be
deemed worthy of preservation as the history of our own loved Cape
Fear region.

"We are pleased to announce that the subscription receipts of The Weekly Day-Book for
January 1867, have been considerably more than for the same month last year, showing that
the true'inen are not all dead, and that ''Mue Democrats" are gradually growing scarcer. It
shows, too, that The Day-Book is now generally regarded by intelligent Democrats as the
only paper that meets the real issues before the country in such a manner as to defy success-
ful contradiciion. Its great fundamental principles of White Supremacy, State Sover-
eienity and Federation are the rocks upon which the Constitution and the Union
were built, and it labors In the glorious hope of one day restoring these to the American
people, and it can and will do so, if True Men Everywhere will throw off all doubt and
despair, and sustain us and labor with us as one man to correct that public opinion which
thirty years of Abolition teachings have corrupted and debauched.
The Day Book is now generally recognized as the Lieading Democratic Weekly of
the Country, and^has the Largest Circulation of any Published. Being the only
New York paper of its class made up as a Family and Agricultural Journal, Expressly
for Country Circvilation. With full Reports of all the Kew York Markets.

LET THE MATTER BE FAIRLY WEIGHED.
If you feel the attacks of disease there should be no delay. Instantly have recourse to
the proper means of restoring health, on the first attack, before tlie disease has penetrated
the entire sj'stem.
A small quantity of water will extinguish a newly kindled fire ; but when the flames rise
in columns to the skies, how much exertion and water it requires to stop the progress of
the conflasrration !
So likewise the importance of
BRANDRETH'S FILLS
Can scarcely be estimated when used in the commencement of any disease.
The object of this great medicine is the conservation and reparation of the human body.
Let this truth be impressed on every intelligent mind.
Moreover,
BRANDRETH'S PILLS COMMIT NO MISTAKE.
They take out the humors which make us sick, but do not touch the life.
Weathersfikld, Wyoming Count}', N. Y., June 27, 1865.
Doctor Bkandreth — Tlii< certifies that I have used your celebrated Pills for over
twenty years, personally and in my family. When we are sick, instead of sending for a
doctor we use Brandreth's Pills. I believe if every one would adopt the same course the
doctors would have but little to do. I have traveled in fifteen States, and been in the army
sixteen months, and necessarily exposed to much disease, yet by the use of your Rlls
occasionally have secured my health through the biting vdnter's frost and the scorching
summer's heat. In fact, Doctor, I feel, -svith your Pills in my pocket, safe from the attacks
of disease. They seem to cleanse the blood aud regulate the sj-stem, whether it be troubled
with dizziness, diarrhoea, or costiveness. When out of sorts, I use them, and they always
cure me. I would not be without them for four times their cost.
I send this to you that others who know me may profit by it, wishing to do good to my
fellow beings. N. HIGLEY,
Company H, 130th New York Volunteers.
TO THE INTELLIGENT.— ALL DISEASES
Arise from, or end in, impurity of the blood. No matter how called, each can be cured by
vegetable purgatives, wliich do not only "nip in the bud," but actually expel the foul
humors which produce dreadful headache, tic-douloureux, and rheumatism, as well as liver
affections, pain in the side, and general heaviness and weariness upon the least exertion.
"' BRANDRETH'S PILLS
Not only cure these affections, but also asthma, and all curable affections of the lungs, as
well as recent colds and coughs. Even consumption and bleeding of the lungs have often
been cured by them. Tliose who use, recommend; but their virtues surpass eulogy; they
must be used to be fully appreciated.
Dr. James Lull, of Potsdam, N. Y., writes, August 11, 1859 :—" I met with a man
three weeks ago in Canada, who had slightly injured his finger two or three days before,
which caused immediate pain, swelling and violent fever. When I saw him the pain and
swelling had extended to the shoulder, depriving him of rest or sleep. His hand was turn-
ing dark-colored, and on the point of mortification. His doctor was ignorant of the nature
of his case. I got there at evening, and during the night I gave him a whole box of pills,
applied a yeast poultice, and saved his life."

Sewing Machine.
Patented May 13tli, 1862. Improvement Patented June 9th, 1863.
The embodiment of practical utility and extreme simplicity ; makes the
running stitch very rapidly, and with the common needle ; will not get
out of order, and will last a life time. It was awarded the first premium
at the New York and other State fairs for its simplicity and efficiency,
thus showing its superiority over all others. Its operation is noiseless,
and its construction simple. It will Hem, Gather, Unfile, Shirr, Tuck,
Run up Breadths, &c., with a single' or double thread, on any material
adapted to the running stitch, from the slightest fabric to heavy cloth—
the thinnest and finest, usually the most difficult to sew by other machines,
being sewed the easiest It makes the running stitch which no other
machine does. It cannot be injured by turning or working the tcrong xcay
because it is so constructed that it throws the icorh off and the needle out
when turned backward, and does not damage the work or needle, hut sim-
ply refuses to do the work wrong. \ It is the only machine that has the
Patent Crimping attachment. The speed of this celebrated machine is
wonderful. It will make sixteen stitches to each single turn of the wheel,
or Three times more than is claimed by the $135 machines sold by
another company It combines economy and utility to a greater degree
than any other machine in the market.
In fact it is the MOTHER'S ASSISTANT, MILLINER'S DELIGHT,
DRESS MAKER'S FRIEND, and every lady should have one It is pe-
culiarly adapted to the use of Southern Ladies on account of its general
utility and low price.

STERLINGS
Southern Series of
SCHOOL BOOKS,
Being "Our Own Series," Revised and Improved,
BY RICHARD STERLIHG, A. M.
PRINCIPAL OF EDGEWORTH FEMALE SEMINARY, GREENSBORO, N. C.
Which have now been before the public for the past four years; having first been issued
during the late war, at great expense, when the Schools of the South could be supplied from
no other source, by Messrs. Sterling & Albright of Greensboro, N. C. The favor with
which these books have been received by Teachers and Parents of the South, has induced
the author to place them in our hands as publishers, having previously revised and materi-
ally improved them; and we now propose to present them to the public in a style equal if
not superior to any series of School Books in the market. We have prepared entirely new
stereotype plates and numerous pictorial illustrations especially for this purpose, and we are
quite confident that in their mechanical as well as in their more material qualities they are
at least unsurpassed by any other books of their class.
AS NOW AERANGED THE SERIES EMBRACES:

In addition to the above, we have the pleasure of presenting
STERLING'S SOUTHERN SERIES OF IITING BOOKS,
Prepared expressly upon new, plain and entirely practicable principles, to accompany
"Sterling's Southern Readers," and for the use ot those Schools who have hitherto been
unsatisfied with the material, style, and lack of adaptation in the copy books at present in
use. In this series our aim is to teach in a natural and unconstrained method a plain, bold,
legible handwriting as the basis of all good penmanship, and as the pupil progresses to grad-
ually but surely initiate him into the higher powers which may be possessed by every one
who will closely observe and faithfully follow the system we present. We do not claim
that good writers may be made in six or twelve lessons as is bombastically urged in favor of
many other works, but we do assert that a very short time spent in careful and practi-
cal study, of the natural common sense rule upon which this system is based, will inevitably
prove that it is in entire harmony with our anatomical construction, and necessarily there-
fore, the most speedy way to attain proficiency.
We urge upon all Southern Teachers an examination of this series, believing that nothing
more is needed to secure its universal adoption.

This Company having organized in April, 1864, in conjunction with the well
known firm of Gaehle & Co. as a joint stock Company, is composed exclusively of
Practical Piano Makers who have held prominent positions for many years in some
of the best Piano Establishments in this Country and Europe.
This Company has one of the largest and most successful manufactories in operation.
Every branch of the business being under the immediate supervision of the Company,
whose experience as practical Piano-Makers, enables them to produce an instrument
which, for power, fulness of tone, elasticity of touch, and elegance of finish, are
equal, if not superior to any in the country.
Our facilities for manufacturing Pianos being equal to any in the country, and
the nature of our organization, enables us to furnish our Pianos at a lower price
than any other manufacturer, and we therefore refer our friends and the public to
our list of prices.
We would also draw particular attention to our own Patent Agraffe improvement,
through which the treble of our Pianos has beenjrendered unsurpassable for strength
and bell like clearness of tone, and all who have seen and heard them, pronounce it
the best and most valuable improvement of the age; and we challenge the most
thorough scrutiny, and are willing to subject our instruments to any test or com-
parison with those of any other manufacture, as to touch, sweetness and depth of
tone, durability and beauty of finish.
.^^Every instrument warranted for five years.
^jT-0\6. Pianos taken in exchange, repaired, and all orders and tunings promptly
attended to.

PIANO FORTSS.
We have been successful manufacturers of Piano Fortes for the past
forty years, and the practical experience acquired during this long period
warrants us in saying that we can make just as good an instrument, in
every particular, as icas ever made hy anybody. We warrant all our in-
struments to be durable, of excellent tone, easy and agreeable to the
touch. We have never asked an outrageous price for our instru-
ments, but have always sold them at prices considerably less than other
first-class makers.
Besides the Pianos of our own make, we can furnish instruments from
the manufactories of the Steinways, Chickerings, and other makers.
We pay particular attention to the manufacture of
CABINET OR UPRIGHT PIANOS,
Very suitable for small rooms, and of equal power to the squarer. We
have been remarkably successful in our Upright Pianos, and can truly
say that we think we furnish instruments of this style rather more dssi-
rable than those of any other house. Price from ^500 to ^900. Some
of them cheaper Pianos from $300 upwards. Liberal discounts made to
the trade, profession and clergymen.
We are the Agents of the above celebrated Reed Organs, which are
fully equal to any made, while the price is full 20 per cent below those of
other good makers. We have on hand instruments of this class ranging
in price from $90 to $600 :—
Guitars, Flutes, Fifes, Clarionets, Banjos
Tanihorines, Accordeons,
In fact all kinds of Instruments of our own make, and warranted in every
particular.
We are constantly publishing a great variety of Music and Musical
Works, and keep always on hand a complete assortment of the publica-
tions of all other musical houses.
Seminaries, Teachers and Dealers furnished at the most reasonable
rates. Music carefully selected for parties at a distance from the city.
ORDERS RESPECTFULLY SOLICITED.

The actual rise of the Tides depends on the strength and direction of the Wind,
and it not unfrequently happens that a Tide which would, independently of these,
have been small, is higher than another, otherwise much greater. But when a Tide
which arrives when the Sun and Moon are in a favorable position for producing a
great elevation, is still further increased by a very strong wind, the rise of the
water will be uncommonly great, sufficient, perhaps, to cause damage.
The above is corrected from the latest reports of the Superintendent of the United
States Coast Survey. But only those ports or places as are indicated by Italics are
thus corrected. The others remain as they have been for a long time, and are sup-
posed to be nearly correct.

The letter S denotes the Sundays in each month.
The above note is convenient for finding the maturity of bills or notes.
The Indez represents the days of the month, and the opposite columns
give the days of the year represented by such days of the month. For
example: — A note of 00 days, dated January 10th, being the 10th day
of the year, as is seen in the January column on a line with January in
the Index, by the addition of 63 (including three days of grace) shows
the note falls due on the 73d day of the year, which will be found, on
reference to the month and the Index, to be Thursday, the 14th day of
March.

Regarding the present as a peculiarly auspicious time for the organization and building
up a great and prosperous Medical lastitution in this, the Commercial Metropolis of the
Southern States, the Trustees of Washington University have selected, with much car
and discrimination, the above Faculty, botii with regard to attaii ments and experience as
inactitioners and teachers, and unhesitatmgly recommend them to the con^dence and
patronage of tre Profe-i^ion as in every way qualiiied tor t>'e responsible positions to
which they iiave been elected. All but two of tlie Faculty served as Surgeons dining the
late civil war; four of them were known prior to the war as popular and successful Pro-
fessors in other Medical Colleges, and all of them an- natives of tne South' rn States.
Baltimore. — No city posses^es greater claims as a field for successful Medical teaching
and none can boast of superior advantage-^ as to climate.
Clinical Instritctions can heie be pursued in all their varied phases for the advancement
of the student, and will claim the especial attention of ttie Faculty.
Anatomical Studies may be pursued to any desirable extent, and under as favorable cir-
Mimstances as in any city in the world. In short all the advantages attainable in any other
V'edical Institution may be enjoyed by the students of Washington University.
■'sessions. — A feature has been introduced in the plan of instructions which it is believed
will render Washin;jton University peculiarly attractive to Souihern Students. Thcie will
be two sessions annuoMy, the first beijinning on the first Tuesday in Apnl and continuing
four and a half months ; and the second beginning on the first Monday in October and ttr-
m natin^' on the lirst Saturday in tlie ensuing March. By this arrangement }tudeius may
receive the great advantages of three full courses of lectures wiihin the time usually given
to two, and will be required to pvij' but for two courses. Students are earnestly requested
to avail themselves of these increased advantages for acquiring a more thorough know-
ledge of tiie Profession.
Beneficiaries. — In order to extend as much assistance as possible to the young men of the
South, one student will be admitted from each Congressional District in the late slavehold-
ing States, and will enjoy all the privileges of the University on tlie paym nt of the Matric-
ulation, Dissecting and Graduation Fees. Wounded and disabled soldiers will have prece-
dence over other applicants for this privilege.
