I In point of length, says the Haiti- snore Gazette, the message of Presi- : Jeut Grant will satisfy the most exact- j ag of reader. If, however, the sum- j Dirie of tb? report of the several j Departments were eliminated, the original matter contributed by the President would be found to occupy a j omparatively small Bpaee. Of the condensed statements of the workings ,( the Departments we have nothing at present to say. It is with that part of the message which may be assumed to be the product of the President's own pen, the result of his most pro found reflections, and the choicest ex pression of his matured thoughts, that a propose to deal. "We cannot, we confess, speak of it admiringly. It is a dead level of mediocrity. It defies analysis because it contains so little to aaalyie. I treats, indeed, of a variety f matters, but in a mild, hesitating, jaiipid way, as if the President had osely grasped them and wan doubt ful whether he understood any hing about them as if, in short, their sub jection to the Executive menstruum bad made them all great and little, important and unimportant equally rapid and colorless. On the currency question he is sadly bewildered. He is of opinion that if we could keep at aome the gold extracted from our nines, we could return to specie pay ments. He is equally of opinion that can never return to specie pay ments until our exports are not only in excess of our imports, but also of the interest we pay on all classes of our securities abroad. If this be true, we need not expect to resume specie pay ments during this generation at least. He is clear that more currency is re quired to move the crops, and also to meet the labor payments at the South; bat he is equally convinced that no further inflation of the currency is de sirable. Nevertheless, he would in flate the currency by allowing National banks to issue more notes on deposit ing with the Treasury United States bonds of an equal face value. He does not like to see New York, or, as he says, "a few commercial eentres" drain the interior States of their currency, and he is opposed to the payment of interest on deposits ; but the only remedy ho can suggest for restoring the circulation to its nat ural channels is by establishing a sys tem of clearing-houses. Finally, he leaves it to the wisdom of Congress to devise a remedy. On the Cuban ques tion, the message is equally weak and 'inconsequential. Spain, he tells us, is doing all she can "to establish the principles of universal liberty in the form of Republic," and, therefore, we must deal tenderly with her, and aeoept such poor reparation as she is capable of making, notwithstanding ker citizens in Cuba insult our nag and butcher our people. But if Spain cannot make all the atonement we have a right to demand, we must remember that "she has released several thou sand slaves in Porto Rico" and that she will, some day or other, liberate (he slaves in Cuba also, if the element in Cuba which "has seized many of the emblems of power" there, will graciously accord her permission. Now, with the matter of slavery in Cuba, we have nothing to do. Oar duty is to vindicate our own honor, and put a stop to the murderof Ameri can citizens. Strange to say, more over, if slavery in Cuba be, as the President asserts, the cause of these excesses, by the protocol drawn be Irweea the United States and Spain we aie actually assisting to perpetuate the slavery we eondemn ; for the Spanish loyalists of Cuba are the slave-owners, for whose atrocities we have called pon Spain for reparation. In letting ker off easily, we thus strengthen the power and influence of the very men Tho are fighting for slavery, who are (oilty of the bloody deeds we denounce, who deserve to be punished, and who, as the President confesses, "are aim ing te rivet still stronger the chains of slavery and oppression. " Rut, then, if we are recreant to our own ho ior, fid unjust to our own people; we have the consolation of knowing that "Cas telar is our friend," and that "his elo quence has charmed the world."

Every township in our county (Onslow) was represented sad one or two of yours. Deer hunt ing is my favorite "sport, though I can candidly say I never enjoyed a hunt like this; each huntsman having brought along his favorite pack leader, made our collection of hounds all that eould be desired. Their music was perfectly enchanting, as well as excit ing, and then the silent watch (at the tar kill, horsine locr or stooping pine) during which the ear is on the alert to i eatch the snap of the betraying twig ; or the footfall of the approaching j s-furmsh occasion for the exer- of judgment, coolness, sagacitv patience.

COS MOM U.ITIOXH- 1.91 1 TOJ(S C uAI - Tho question of "Consolidation" is not a new one to the people of North Carolina. There has been no session of the "Legislature, since the war, -we bilieve, in which the consolidation of the North Carolina Railroad with some other has not been proposed in some shapo. We have, in every single instance, opposed these scheme', tmd we have been always sustained by the action of the General Assembly. Heretofore it has only been proposed to consolidate the North Carolina Railroad with the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. This proposition was so unjust to our city and section, and so useless as a great State measure, that it has never met with much favor or very serious consideration. The present effort, however, has a larger scope, embracing both the Eastern and Western extensions of the North Carolina Railroad in the con solidation, being an effort to complete a continuous railway from Morehead City to tho Tennessee and Georgia lines. The accomplishment of such a work, at least the completion of rail roads through our mountains, con necting our own ports with the Mis sissippi and Tennessee Vallies, is an object worthy of the best efforts of onr legislators. Until this is accomplished there can be no important seaport on our own coast, and there can never be any great success to our lines of rail way running Hast and West. Besides, if North Carolina owes any debt to any cla-or portion of her citizens, it is aUI facilities to her Western PeoPyearS before the war they have consistently voted ap propriations to Eastern railroads and other works of internal improvements, and paid their taxes with patience and j hope. In turn the representatives oi the East have voted appropriations for Western railroads, but unfortunately the war interrupted the first efforts, and thieves have stolen the later ap propriations. Now their only line of railroad, completed to the very foot of the mountains, is bankrupt, and further work has been stopped. The State is in almost as bad credit. She has not the financial ability to lend further aid. Without some assistance the road must be sold, and the State's interest therein sacrificed, if indeed it is not already worthless. Before the Legislature passes any bill looking to the consolidation of these three lines of railroads there should be a certain guarantee that the legislation will accomplish the pur poses intended. A mistake will be fatal. If these lines are consolidated, and the credit of the North Carolina Railroad is not sufficient to build up the credit of the other two and com plete the Western North Carolina Rail road at least to one of its Western termini, all will be sacrificed togeth er, and the State will lose almost the only valuable "ork of internal im provement nov. owned by her. These considerations, however, have doubtless occurred to the members of the Legislature and will nc doubt be amply provided for. The unfortunate experience ih railroads in this State will make our legislators very careful. Another mistake would be criminal. But we are willing to leave the ques tion of consolidation with the General Assembly, hoping their deliberations will be guided by the best interests of North Carolina, as we believe they will. But indirectly we have very great in terest in the question an interest too founded upon the highest grounds of justice and right. We do not thiuk that this great work, to be prosecaieu with common property, a property which our immediate city has coutri-. buted more than her full share to build np to it3 present condition, ought to be managed hostile to us. If we are to have a great line of railway from the sea board to the mountains, to be built upon the credit of the great work to which Wilmington has contributed so much to build, our city ought not by adverse legislation to be deprived of all advan tages therefrom. We ought not to be shut out from its benefits in the vain hope of building another city at our expense. Why do we set up this claim for our city ? We do it upon a ground much higher than mere expediency. The fact that we now have a city with quite twenty thousand inhabitants, and a foreign and coastwise commerce al ready well established and very extensive, is sufficient grounds upon which to base a claim to consideration at the hands of the Legislature. But we have higher ground th.m this. c ask it as a right which we have acquired our efforta in behalf of internal im provements, an especially in aid of the North Carolina Railroad. The history of Wilmington in con nection with internal improvements is most honorable. When the Wilming- fon aud Weldon Railroad was projected tL subscriptions to that work in this amounted to fifty thousand dol- ' J . . . lars mope than the entire assessed vat- .a . .'iL... il. M"k- tic nr hi real estate within the cortyo- ratc umitHm And when the work was completed, in great part by the liber ality of the citizens of this place, it teas the longest railroad the world, and remained so for seven yearn, and was then only exceeded iu leugtii by x railroad built by the Czar of Russia, who built one through his dominions, using tho vast resources of his Empire to do so. Tho city in its municipal capacity subscribed one hundred thousand dol lars to tho capital stock of the Wil mington and Manchester Railroad, and two hundred thousand dollars to the capital stock of the Wilmington, Char lotte and Rutherford Railroad. These subscriptions were in addition to the very large amounts subscribed by our citizens. Both of the roads owe their existence to the liberal subscriptions made here, and although the invest ments have been lost, still we bavo no regrets that they were made. When tho North Carolina Railroad v II 11 II M Til I NT 11 I Y7 t S - tv I "V" iiii ri ii ill . . ill " sr a r. i - was proposed, its charter was secured ' in a great measure through the efforts 1 of Hon. Wm. 8. Ash:, of this city, at the time a member of the House of Commons, and more than unedenH, nf ttir entire firk wbneriocd hi inrli vuJwxi taken and paid for and in now owned by citizen of Wihninyfon, although its Eastern terminus was more than eighty miles distant. We submit, therefore, that it would be unjust as well as impolitic to m e that great work to our injury. If these road3 are consolidated, and the common property of the State is used to complete it to its Western termini, the principal port of the State, the one which has contributed so much already to the work, should share in common with other ports the benefits to hi de rived from it. The Carolina Central Railway is being rapidly pushed Westward. We believe it is the only unfinished road in the South which is being con structed during the present financial crisis. In another year, in all proba bility it will make connection at Hick ory, with the Western North Carolina Railroad. Under tho present charter of that road the Carolina Central has the right to connect with it without dis crimination in freights. We believe this priviledge should be granted in the amended charter. It would be but j ust to us, it would surely le most agreeable to our Western friends, and it would be advantageous to the State. We feel our want of proper reprc resentation in the General Assembly. We h.vs no one there with the ability and inrtuenc to urge out rights and our claims before that body. Still we do not believe that it is the wish of the Li gMttu:e to discriminate against us. oar very ueipiessue&s snould cause n A tt, , ii4e Up jn onr jefence. Oar conimercial importance and growth should be a matter of State pride as it i a matter of State interest. (on.tiMin; or u,niM;nn. In discussing the question of "Con solidation " yesterday, we referred to the extent and growing importance of the commerce of Wilmington, and to foster it should be a matter of State pride, as it certainly is a matter of State interest. The tabulated statement of the principal articles of produce exported from Wilmington for the year ending December 31st, 1872, as published in the columns of the Journal, shows that 127,379 barrels of spirit of tur pentine, 12,508 barrels of ciude tur pentine, 620,160 barrels of rosin, 37,287 barrels of tar, 47,144 bales of cotton, 103,680 bushels of p. auuts, 22,26-1,152 feet of lumber, 2,893.225 shingles, 136,606 staves, besides large quantities of cotton yarns, cotton sheetings, tar, shooks, and innumerable other ar ticles, were exported during last year. In 3873 the business has been still larger. But wo desire to call attention to the number of foreign vessels now in port, as published elsewhere, to which we direct special attention, aud the number now sailing for Wilmington. There are to-day lying at our wharves forty-two vessels, loading or discharg ing, tbirty-two of which are unloading foreign cargoes or loading for foreign ports. Then there are reported forty eight vessels from twenty-five foreign por-ts now sailing for Wilmington with cargoes. All of these vessels will take return cargoes of eotton, naval stores or lumber. Many of these are of the largest tonnage which the water j at the mouth of the Cape Fear will admit into onr port. It i3 with no little degree of pride and satisfaction that we refer to this matter at this particular time. We are sure these facts aud figures must impress themselves favorably upon the attention of the members of the Gen eral Assembly. The enterprise of Wilmington, having now a very im perfect connection with the interior of onr own State and, contending agiiiiSt a natural and commendable State pride of her near neighbors across the line, which attracts them to their own city of Charleston, has built up this mag nificent foreign business. If her ad vantages and present commerea are not injured by adverse legislation much more, if they are fostered by kindly legislation, our city will, at no distant tlay, more than double her population and business. What advantage this " would be to North Carolina it is needless to say. The accumulation of population and wealth in this city will be felt, directly and indirectly, throughout the length and breadth of the State. Alabama has made her railroads tributary to the growth of Mobile, and Georgia and South Carolina have done the same for Savannah and Charleston, and those cities have been able to repay in the increased population and wealth and business for all the money spent to build them upt We hope a similar pride and ordinary self interest will prompt our legislators to do the same for Wilmington. Our city asks for no special favors. She is helping herself. All she asks is that her resources shall not be cut short by unfriendly legislation. She asks that her enterprise shall ha encouraged, and that she shall be permitted to share in commou with other portions i .-ittt. ttuvi ue preferred to cities bevond the State, in the benefits of the great work of internal improvement, the common property of all the people, to which her own citizens have con tributed more than their due proper tion.

Hester, who resides about five miles from Yorkville, rambled off into the woods in search of his father, who was at work in hearing of the house. The little fellow lost his way, and when the father came in, at 11 o'clock, the child was inquired after, the father 'knowing nothing of it. Search was instituted immediately, the neighborhood was alarmed and all turned out to loo'i for the lost child. It was unavailing, and nothing was heard from the little wanderer till about 11 o'clock, A. M. of the 4th inst., when he was picked up, about three miles from his father's resiclta?e, by a lad at work ;"i the woods. The little fellow, when fcund, stated that he was in search of his father, but could not find him. He was returned to his distressed parents who, with sympathizing friends, were mourning him a3 dead. Soon tears were dried and that home of sorrow was niadp a house of rejoicing. Death of tenrral Uocktry. We regret to learn of the death of the venerable General Alfred Dock ery, who died at his residence in Rich mond county, on Wednesday, at the advanced age of 76 years. He had been sick for several weeks aud his demise was not unexpected. Gen. Dockery, was previous to the war, one of the representative men cf this State. He was born on the 11th cf December, 1707, and therefore lacked but one week of being 76 years old at the time of his death. He first entered public life as a member of tho House from Richmond county, in 1822, and was elected to the Senr.tc in 1836, serving continuously nutil 1844. In 1845 he was elected p. member of Congress and served one term when he declined a renoiuination, but was again elected in 1851.

And now, just returned from abroad, he waa verv entertaining T was charmed with the grace and man ner of his conversation, and so ab sorbed did I become in the interesting accounts of his travels, that our tea hour passed by without my observing it. Finally, I was reminded of the fact by my husband, who said "Is Mary away?" ' "O, yes" I replied, "she went out to see one of her scholars this after noon. I cannot think what detains her." Thanks to Mary's instructions, J could prepare a meal equal to hers now.andwe were soon gathered around our pleasant table. Suddenly there was a confused sound of heavy feet, and Mary was bronrrht in lw ft of aWnvt Irishman, who said she had "alinncd upon a bit of ice and broken her arm." Woman like, I began to cry : but Harry gathered her up in his great, I strong arms, and carried her mi to mv room where wo all followed, "Here, Charlie, I giro this case up to von" aid he, as he deposited his burden upon tho bed. and his friend approached saying, "Sho has fainted."

I left a note for her, which I have since discovered she never re ceived, nor any letter that I have since written. During Jmy travels I could not forget her, nnd immediately on my return I Bought her home, but it was in the possession of Grangers, and no one conld tell me her whereabouts. My search has been 5n vain until to night; and now the shock is so cre.at T cau hardly master myself." .U.O SB ueaiuiy pitic, ana l began to fear we would have two patients in stead of one, but ho soon rallied, and obtained his self-control. Wasn't I happy ? "I knew there was a man in the case, somewhere !' I cried, wiping my red eyes, "and it always puzzled me to know what there could be interesting iu that little Charlie living down in tho corner house, ami why Mary took such a fancy to him bat, oh, to be sure, why it's because his name is Charlie." Then I had to jump up aad congratulate him again, until Harry said, turning to his friend, "She is always telling me that it is I who made her wild, ( Wilde), but I think you are the one now." How cur Mary gathered strength each day, and how carefully the doctor attendcel to her wants, I shall not give you an account nor how beautiful she looked in her white bridal robe, as sho was led to the altar nor one of the pleasant receptions she gave us in her elegant home. It waa all like a fairy tale and now it is over, aud I am all alone ia my little, pleasant home, looking, but" without Ritceer.s, for another "Kitch n Oirl." FiviciAr, iii:i.ii:r. The President in his message aaopis the ridiculeiusnottnns of the New York bank officer that the scaivity of curren cy was owing in a groat measure to the hoarding of greenbacks by the South era negroes. Ta their 'opinion tho Southern blacks ha. ono raul all, turned themselves into walking bunks ef deposit, and a large portion of" the currency of the country is "Ix-Le l up" in the spacious Kckets of our thrifty laborers.

Possibly he could scud a' new crop of carpet baggers elown among the Southern blacks to make them dif gorge the mil lions which they c;rry about in their pockets, or have tied ar iu rags. These financial knight-errants were very suc cessful iu tho earlier years after the war in fiuding the secret hiding places where the negroes kept their "loose change,'' and while they Lave become a little suspicious of the o'el herd, a new set might ingratiate themselves iuto their good graces-, and into their pockets at the same time.
