After the Speculators.

--At the cargo sale at Wilmington, last week, things went on swimmingly until the sale was about to close, when a squad of men with muskets appeared at the door and demanded that all men under forty thews their "papers." About half a regiment, more or less, failed to produce their "profession," and were marched off by the guard. Two or three were taken off the cars at Raleigh, N. C., Monday, by order of the Commandant of Conscripts, some of whom, after examination, were released and others retained.
