Courteous officer.

--Last Thursday afternoon the D. C. S. Marshal of this city, Mr. F. W. Bass, by the direction of the C. S. Commissioner, telegraphed the Chief of Police of Wilmington, N. C., to arrest promptly a man named M. Krakar, charged with felony, and to answer immediately. The offence charged was a serious one in the eye of the law, and the C. S. authorities thought it exceedingly important to have the arrest made, fearing the party might get wind of the charge and leave the country. That evening no response came, but the next day about 12 o'clock the following answer was received:

"Wilmington, Nov. 13.
"To F. W. Bass, D. M.:

"Is he black or green!
"P. McGrea, Chief Police."
Surely the Mayor of Wilmington will need no other evidence to establish the value of his Chief of Police and the great interest he feels in the execution of the Confederate laws.
