FROM WILMINGTON.
The Raleigh State Journal contains
numerous extracts from the Herald of
the Union, a paper started .since the oc
cupation of Wilmington by the Fede
rals, dated March 2d. It is printed with
the material of the Carolinian, but no
name appears. Among the advertise
ments is a card from 0. S. Baldwin,
Broadway, New York, to his former pa
trons at Wilmington, etc., and an appeal
from George Myersin behalf of the Union
prisoners returning through Wilmington.
General Orders No. 1 announce that
General J. M. Scholield assumes com
mand of the District of North Carolina,
headquarters in the held. Other general
ciders announce the appointment of
provost-marshals, post commanders, etc.
Special Orders No. 18 assign Briga
dier-General Joseph R. llawley to tho
command of the District of Wilmington,
II which will embrace all the territory
under military control in rear of the
army operating from Cape Fear river as
a base. General Hawley will be respon
sible for the protection of the depot at
Wilmington, Cape Fear harbor, and the
line of railroad in rear of the army. He
Will also perform the duties of provost
marshal-general for the district under his
command."
Provost -marshals are authorized to
administer the oath to such persons a*
desire to take it, and M loyal " persons
Will be permitted to carry on their busi
ness; everything to be governed by the
Sam« rules and regulations as havo been
applied to Savannah md other captured
hi.vns.
The theatre has been opened, and
*tisaKloise bridges and other "stars "
Were announced to appear.
Stores and shops have to be closed at
t. y *"., and no one is allowed to sell
Jqnor to soldiers, under severe penal
ties.
An Kntkri*risixu Murderer.—D. F.
Divans, the wretch who deliberately
murdered his wife, father and mother, in
Michigan, a few weeks ago, instead of oc
cupying his mind with matters suitable
to his case, seems to be studying and
planning how he can make the most
money out of the morbid curiosity cre
ated by his unparalleled crimes! To
this end, he advertises that he is en
gaged in getting out an autobiography,
to include a full account of his life, all
the circumstances of his murders, etc.,
etc. It is reported that he has applied
to Barnum to buy the clothing in which
he murdered his parents and wife! An
Adrian paper publishes a card, signed
by him, warning the public against pur
chasing certain photographs of him, be
cause he is about getting out some
44 genuine ones, taken with the clothes
he bad on :;t the time of the murder."
Ue also says he will soon have the pic
tures of both of his wives, and adver
tises for agents.

OBITUARY.
Suddenly, at her home in Hanover county, on
the 20th February, Mrs. MARY O. COSBY, in the
seventy-fourth year of her age. She was domestic
m her habits, quiet and unobtrusive in her man
ners, and had endeared herself to the circle in
which she moved. Especially was she tenderly
loved in the relationship of mother and mistress.—
Having been left a widow many years since, she
found all her energies taxed in rearing a large fami
ly of children; and well did she perform her duty.
She guided her affairs with peculiar discretion, and
her five sons and one daughter, now surviving, can
attest the value of her influence in training them
up in habits of sobriety and industry. She wasa
kind mistress, and was much loved by her servants
It w:i.> affecting, as her body was interred near the
sj'.jt where she was horn, to witness the unaffected
grief of the children and grandchildren and large
group of weeping servants. She will be missed
from the home she so much loved, and which she
renden d so nappy.
May Cod graciously sustain this stricken family,
and may all be prepared to meet an unbroken circle
La the heavenly world. • T.
Killed, in the trenches in front of Petersburg,
August (i, 1861, Private A. M. JOHNSON, Otey
Battery, aged twenty year;;.
The subject of this notice was cut down by a fatal
shot from the encmv while in defence of his coun
try, and has thus add< d another name to the list of
noble martyr, who have so willingly sacrificed their
Ives en its altar. The writer of this feeble tribute
doubts whether there ever lived or died a truer
patriot, soldier and gentleman than he, having ever
eadeated himself to those with whom he was
acquainted. He has Left many sorrowing hearts to
mount tkt-ir irn ptrable los*. Well may it be said of
him tha*, Loving his country better than life, he has
sacrificed tla.- one for the honor of the other. He
joined the O'.ej" Battery when it was first organized,
and, as a true soldier, never shrank from any hard
ship or danger. In camp he was ever cheerful and
hopeful—on the battle-field, cool, courageous and
Irdd. But now he has fallen, and though we may
never more si* with him around the hearthstone,
or gaae on hi> op< n manly brow, we feel that he has
fallen in a glorious cause, and wiO ever cherish his
memory as one of whom we may rightly feel proud.
(jli; the nigh*, ths tears, the groans* of anguish
which have arisen, and still continue to arise, from
an oppress* d and insulted people as, day after day,
and hour after hour, they witness tho pride and
h<»pe of our Confederacy ruthlessly and brutally
slain. How many a mother's heart has been made
to bleed at the sight of the maigled corpse of her
onoe noble buy, and how many and fervent a prayer
leu been breathed by the widow and orphan to a
just God that these wrongs may be avenged. And
as -wo think of tin -—our noble and brave boy, who
has thua fuller., and deplore, as we must, Ins un
timely end we rejoice to know that God is just, and
booh the day ol ietributk.it will come. May he
bless and support his sorrowing family and friends.
Hi-, funeral will be preached at Branch's Church,
in Chesterfield county, by the Rev. O. Mason, on
SUNDAY MORNING NEXT at 11 o'clock. •
