Newbern and Morehead.
We returned to the city this morning, after
an absence of four days, to find on our table
a pile of exchanges that no mortal man could
go through in one day; and, therefore, after
returning thanks to our employees for making
a good paper during our absence, we will say
something about our trip,
Newbern, though not as gay and bustling as
last May, is still lively, and the merchants,
tradesmen and artizans seem to be doing a
thrifty business. The “ City of Elms” seems
to be fully reconstructed, most of the old citi
zens have returned, many strangers have set
tled there and arc doing business and the best
possible feeling seems to prevail. Steamers
and other vessels are constantly coming and
going between there and the northern cities,
with good freights both ways, the merchants
are doing a lively trade, and the old town
(now a city) is moving onward and upward,
prospering and to prosper
Relative to the agricultural operations in
(/raven and adjoining counties we heard most
gratifying accounts, and with favorable sea
sons the shipment of cotton and other produce
from Newbern, next fall and winter, will be
very heavy. Newbern has a thriving, energet-
STATE ITEMS.
From the Wilmington Herald of the 17th,
we learn that the directors of the Wilming-
tion and Manchester R. R. Company, held a
meeting on the 10th inst. One of the princi
pal objects of their meeting, we hear, was for
the purpose of arranging the funding of cer
tain bonds now held in this country, and in
Europe, into mortgage bonds. There is at pres
ent an agent in Europe attending to this matter
and Major John W. Cameron was elected finan
cial agent to attend to the transfers here. This
is certainly a good selection, and we congratu
late the road upon having so able and efficient
an officer to attend to their affairs.
A committee, consisting of O. G. Parsley,
Esq., David S. Cowan, Esq., and Colonel J. G.
Burr, was appointed to confer with a commit-
A NEW ISLAND.
Remarkable Phenomena—A Volcanic Up
heaval.
A correspondent of the London Times, writ
ing from Athens, Greece, announces that a
new Island began to rise above the level of
the sea in the bay of Thera (Santorin), in the
Grecian Archipelago, on the 4th of February
and in five days it attained the height of from
130 feet to 150 feet with a length of upwards
of 350 feet and a breadth of 100 feet. It con
tinues to increase, and consists of a rusty
black metalic lava, very heavy, and resem
bling half-smelted scorio which has boiled up
from a furnace.
The eruption began on the 31st of January.
A noise like volleys of artillery was heard,
but without any earthquake. On the follow
ing day flames issued from the sea, in a part

Going at It.—We notice with much satis
faction that workmen commenced repairing
the street pumps this morning. They are gen
erally out of order and as much inconvenience
has resulted to the people, their refitting will
cause much rejoicing among the hewers of
wood and drawers of water.

Capt. Joseph
Childs, of the steamer Zodiac, we accompa
nied Mr. Thomas, president of the A & N. C. .
Railroad, and other gentlemen to Morehead,
and dined aboard that fine ocean steamer.
Capt Childs is as gallant a commander as ■
ever walked a deck and if as efficient at sea .
as he is hospitable in port, as we have no i
doubt he is, we advise persons going north by j
water to look out for the Zodiac. His dinner :
and wines on Friday could not be excelled, j
and a more jovial, good natured party never
met around a festive board. Mr. Guo. W.
Dill, agent of the line, and Capt. Childs were >
untiring in their attentions to our party, and ■
three or four hours were most pleasantly spent
on board the steamer. Several steamers are
tee from the Charlotte road,.and one from the
Weldon road, in regard to bringing the two
roads (Charlotte and Manchester) across the
river crossing at Walker's ferry, on the N. W.
branch, and Hilton, on the N. E., and forming
a common passenger depot in the nieghbor-
hood of the Weldon road. The freight depot
and shops of the Manchester road to remain
where they now are.
It is in contemplation to make a through
route from Augusta to this place, and also one
from here to Washington city direct. It
would of course he impossible to have an en
tire through route from Augusta to Washing
ton city, because the guage of the Manchester
read, conforming with the South Carolina
roads, differs from that of roads from this city
north.
We record this proposed change with much
pleasure and satisfaction.
The same paper says: The remains of
Lieutenant Cicero II. Craige, of the Third
North Carolina regiment, arrived in this city
yesterday, and are now lying in St. James’s
church, awaiting interment, which they will
receive this day at 11 o'clock. It is unneces
sary to invite attendance, as all who have ever
of the bay called Vulkonos, where the water
is always discolored and impregnated with
sulphur from abundant springs at the bottom.
The flames rose at intervals to the height of
15 feet, and were seen at times to issue from
the south western part of Nea Kaimene. That
island was soon rent by a deep tissue, and the
southern part sank considerably.
On the 4th ofFebruary the eruptions became
more violent and the sea more disturbed.
Gas forced itself up from the depths with ter
rific noise, resembling the bursting of a steam
boiler: flames arose at intervals, and white
smoke, rising steadily, formed an immense
column, crowned with a curled capital of dark
heavy clouds. The next island was visible
next morning, increasing sensibly to the eye as
it rose out of the sea at no great distance to the
south of Nca Kaimene.
All Quiet.—The report of the city watch ;
shows that there were no arrests during yester- j
day or last night. This is very creditable to
our people.
Badly Cut.—A negro named Jim Scott got
into a difficulty with his washerwoman, Nancy j
Johnson, when the latter seized an old carving !
knife and stabbed him in the shoulder twice. I
They are both denizens of Vinegar Hill and j
very bad characters.
A Thespian Society.—A numberof young
men, all of them residents of the city, propose
organizing themselves into a Thespian troupe
and as soon as practicable give a series of dra
matic performances. They design devoting
the funds realized to the purchase of books and
if possible founding a library. We commend

In the Senate of the United States on Friday
last, Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, offered the follow- 1
ing resolutions, which were referred to the Joint
Committee on Reconstruction:
Whereas, In the present distracted condition
of the country, is is eminently proper and ne- ;
cessary that all just and constitutional means '
should be employed for the quieting of popular
excitement, the removal of unreasonable pre- ।
judice, and the obliteration of all hostile feel
ings growing out of the late unhappy’dvil war ;
and
Whereas, One of the most prolific sources 1
of unfriendly sentiment is the conflict of,
opinion existing on the subject of negro suf- ;
frage ; and
Whereas, It isnow most evident that there ,
is no probability whatever that the Senators j
and Representatives in Congress from the j
States whose people were lately in insurrec- •
tion will be allowed to occupy the seats to j
which they have been elected, until such States |
shall have complied with certain fundamental •
conditions, a portion of which are hereinafter
recited; and
Whereas, It is unreasonable to expect the re- i
establishment ofharmony and good feeling as .
long as the eleven. Southern States, whose j
people were recently in insurrection, are i
prevented from resuming their ancient rela- |
tions to this Government; therefore be it
Resolved,&c.f*Fir st: That each of said States,
whose people were lately in insurrection, as .
aforesaid, shall be recognised as having fully
and validly resumed its former relations with :
this Government, and its chosen represents- :
rives shall bcadmitted in the two Houses of,
the National Legislature, whenever said State |
shall have amended its Constitution as to do :
away all existing distinctions as to civil rights j
and disabilties among the various classes of
its population by reason either of race, or col- :
or, or previous condition of servitude.
Second: To repudiate all pecuniary indebt- :
edness which said State may have heretofore
contracted, incurred or assumed with the
late unnatural and treasonable War.
Third: To yield all claim to compensation
on account of the liberation ofiss slaves: and
Fourth: To provide for the extension of the
elective franchise to all persons upon the same
terms and conditions, making no discrimina
tion on account of race, color or previous con
dition of servitude: provided that those who
were qualfied to vote in the year i860 by the
laws of their respective States, shall not be
disfranchised by reason of any new test or
conditions which have been or may be pre
scribed since that year,
Resolved, That after the aforesaid conditions
have been complied with, and the. same shall
have been ratified bv a majority ot the present
voting population of the State, including all
those'qualified to vote under the laws thereof
as they existed in 1860, a general amnesty
shall be proclaimed in regard to all persons in
such State who were in any way connected with
armed opposition to the government of the
United States, wholly exonerating them from
all pains, penalties or disabilities to which they
may have become liable by reason of connec-
I the gallant dead !
And Yet Another.—It is expected; but
i not thought very probable, that the remains
' of Capt. E. G. Mears will arrive here this
morning, in time for interment, with those of
Lieutenant Craige, but the matter is in so
much doubt and uncertainty that we cannot
announce it positively. An enconium (and a
truthful one at that) to the memory of thi s
man will be given at another time and in an
other place. We cannot speak too positively
of it here, as the arrival of his remains this
morning is somewhat uncertain, at this, our
time of going to press.
Thos. Gould and Geo. Wright, two white
men who hail from Baltimore, have been com
mitted for trial on the charge of burglarious
ly entering the store of Mitchell, Allen & Co.,
in Newbern, and stealing a quantity of goods.
They were identified by parties to -whom they
to 122. as near the vicinity of volcanic action
as it was safe to approach. The bottom of
the sea all round Nca Kaimene appears to
have risen greatly. Tn one place, where the
sea is marked on the admiralty chart one hun
dred fathoms, it is found to be now only thir
ty, and at another where it was seventeen it
is now only three fathoms. The new island,
as it increases, will probably form a junctore
with Nea Kaimene. It grows, as it were, out
into the sea, the mass below pushing upward
that which is already above water. The
lower part is hot, its fissures, where they are
deep; being 170 Fahrenheit, and the upper
part, after four days’ exposure, was found to
be still 80.
At present the centre of the volcanic force
lies evidently far below the bottom of the sea,
and only gasses and smoke work their way
through the incumbent earth to the water,
and escape in noise, flames and smoke to the
surface. But should a fissure at the bottom
of the sea allow the water to penetrate to the
fires that throw up the melted metal of the
new island to the surface, an eruption may
take place of a kind similar to that which
destroyed Pompeii, but far more terrible.
The British naval commander at Malta has
sent two ships to the scene of these phenome
na. A letter dated February 7, containing the
latest news, says:
“The same smoke and fire in the evening
as yesterday, aud the hillock continues in
operation. The sea, too, boils beyond the
cove more than yesterdsy. The hillock, or
laud, will probably by to-morrow increase as
far as the entrance to the cove, and be joined
by its sides.”
nish good dramatic entertainments for the
pleasure of play-goers.
Trade Abroad.—Mr. Henry Harper, 520
Arch street, Philadelphia, has in store a large
stock of watches, fine jewelry, silver ware, &c ,
which he is selling at reduced prices. Read
/ Almost a fire.—Yesterday afternoon, about
2 o'clock, the Planter's Hotel was discovered
to be on fire on the roof, in two places. The
alarm was promptly given when multitudes
from every portion of our city were seen rush
ing to the spot; but before the half who start-
edJiad reached the scene of excitement, some
two or more persons had gained the steep and
dangerous roof, and with a bucket of water
saved an entire block of wooden buildings.
The Fenians.—We arc requested to say
that a Fenian circle will be formed in this city
during the present week. On the day of meet
ing notice will be given as to hour and place.
While the expatriation of Ireland is the great
object with the organization, we learn that
any citizen, whatever may be his nationality,
can become a member. Americans are an im
portant element of strength to the order both
north and south.
•e no doubt every
true Irishman will be present and as little hes
itation in believing that southerners will add
their influence to the movement.

Resolved, That in view of the thorough assim
ilation of the basis of suffrage in the various
States of the Union, all other States not above
specified shall be respectfully requested to in
corporate an amendment in their State Consti
tutions corresponding with the one specified.
That in the adoption of the afore
said resolutions, it is not intended to. assert *
coersive power on the part of Congress in regarc
to the regulation of the right ot suffrage in the
different States of the Union, but only to make
a respectful and earnest appeal to their own
good sense and love of country with a vie
the prevention of serious evils now threatened
and to the peaceful perpetuation ot the repose,
the happiness and true glory of the whole
American people.
A. Sanders, A. H. Vanbokkelen, John D, Pow
ers and John A. Taylor, be appointed a com
mittee to investigate, inquire into and consid
er all questions.connected with the establish
ment, by this county, of a work house, to be
used for the confinement and punishment of
convicts and such other persons who, by the
laws of this state, may be sentenced to labor;
and the said committee make report to this
court as soon as may be practicable, not only
in reference to the policy of establishing such
work house, but also as to the proper plan of
such an establishment, and probable cost of
erecting the'same.
The case of J. M. Arnold, the engineer of
the “gift enterprise” machine, was brought
up for trial, and resulted in the imposition of
a line of two hundred dollars and costs. We
don’t think a man of enough “ enterprise ” to
run a gift, machine in this locality, will be
found again—soon.
Twenty licenses to retail spirituous liquors,
in the city, were granted by the court, the
parties having been previously recommended
by the board of aldermen.

Information Wanted.
On the 18th and 19th of February, 1865, the
14th aud 20th army corps, under General Slo
cum aud Davis, camped near the residence of
Mr. Levi Koon, in Lexington District, S. C.
On leaving some one took his little son, Preston
Koon, aged 7 years, with him. He is lively
and ready to speak; fair skin, light hair and
black eyes. He may have been left in the Eas
tern part of this State, as these corps remained
there some time previous to the surrender.
This is a most distressing case. Any one
having any information should at once commu
nicate it to Mr. William Sumner, P. M., at Po

RALEIGH NATIONAL BANK OF NORTH GAROLIAN
—A negro soldier brutally murdered a little :
boy, eight years of age, near Murfreesboro 1
Tenn., on the 8th.
—Gen. B. S. Tappan, one of the oldest and
most, influential cstizens of Vicksburg, Miss.,
died recently.
—The crop prospects in Tennessee were hard
ly ever better than at present,
J. G. Howard has realized over fourteen
thousand dollars on the copywright of his “Life
of Lincoln.”
It is"said thatGen. Scott heartily approves
and endorses the President's speech on the 22d
of February.
—Miss Fannie M. Day ton, who was shot at
Brooklyn, N. Y., several weeks since, by Win.
Russ, in a fit of jealousy, is recovering. The
three bullets which penetrated her skull have
been extracted.
The Clubbing Business.—A crusty old
batchelor reports that there is great fancy just
now for clubs and that a number of the lady
leaders of the gay world, in our city deter
mined to revenge themselves on the gentle
men for their exclusion from the favored
“circles” of the day, have held various meetings
with a view to the formation of a female club,
from which all males should be rigidly exclu
ded; but that, owing to the preliminary adop
tion of a resolucion declaring that the office of
President should be held by the oldest mem
ber, and that of secretary by the youngest, th e
project has been abandoned, it having been
found impossible to obtain a President, and
every one of the members claiming the right
to be secretary.
Bit of a spat.—Two gentlemen of billige-
rent turn of mind, occasioned no doubt by the
excitement consequent upon the fire alarm,
(nothing more,) met in fisty-cuff combat on
Wilmington street, yesterday, without mate
rial damage to either party—officer Parker, as
usual, appearing in the nick of time, “poured
oil upon the troubled waters.”
We understand that a deep religious feeling
is manifest in the Rev. Mr. Skinner’s church
in this city, and that a scries of protracted
meetings will commence in that church this
evening.
