NEW BUILDINGS.
Our town continues to improve, and new
buildings of a superior style of architecture are
continually filling up the most eligible of the
vacant lots, or fcresuperseding the old dilapidat
ed wooden tenements, of which we have too
many by several still left Preparations are
now going forward for clearing the South East
corner of Market square and several lots on
Green Street of the old buildings with a view to
building them up with substantial fireproof brick
houses. The property is owned by VV. Draughon,
II. &. E. J. Lilly, A. VV. Steel, Capt. Crow and
Gurdon Deming.

flames spread very rapidly, and before the' could

their contents consumed. The fire also spread
to Race street, and down as far as the railroad
track, though the buildings burnt were gene

j roughly estimated, will reach about $35,000,
i which is mostly covered by insurance, principal

DROWNED. We understand that a negro

The Empire City arrived at New York on the
3d inst., with Havana dites to the 20th March.
The health of Mr Kin was not improved, and
he designed leaving about the 0th inst for Mo
bile, in the United Slates Steamship Fulton.
He is said to be perfectly disgusted with the dis
courteous conduct of the Captain General , and
would leave the island ithout seeing him.
Gen. Santa Anna ariived at Havana on the
2Sth ult , in the English Mail Steanr er, and sail
the next day for Vera Cruz, accompanied by his
family and a large number of Mexican officials.
THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY
NINE CLERKS AGAIN. The Observer insists
upon t he monstrosity of turning out one hun
dred and thirty-nine clerk at one time. Yes,
sir, tliereis 1 ho grnr imrn of the charge. If
the President h d turned out one at a time, for
every few days, until the office was cleared, then
the cruelty of" the thing would have been modi
fied. Then the operation would have been some
what analogous to an operation which was once
pertonned by a thoughtful servant of a certain
tnan vho owned a monkey. This man who own
ed a in o nke' rdered this thoughtful servant to
cut ofT the monkey's fail. The considerate ser
vant took counsel with himself and obeyed. But
he did not foolishly rush in median res by cutting
the monkey's tail all at once clear off. Nosiree,
he graduated the operation by cutting off a
very small piece and waiting a while, and then
cutting off another small piece, and so on. Thus
it was that this thoughtful servant made the
operation a easy to t lie monkey as t lie drawing
of teeth. Why did not President Pierce imitate
this brilliant example ? We are unable to an
swer. We suppose that he did the rash act, not
having the tear of the Observer before his eyes.

FAYETTVILLE AND WILMINGTON.
The Wilmington Ileralof the Gth presents
some very sensible views on the subject of the
jealousy between these two towns. The Ileraid
aigues that this jealousy ought not to exist, in
v. hicli opinion we entirely concur The Herald
furthermore says, " There may be one or two
persons here w ho have pe rsonal cause for ill-will,
but f urther than this, the feeling does not extend.
Our Fayetteville friend-, without i ntendi ng it,
do our town an injustice in locating such a sen
timent in our midst. We do not, as a communi
ty, feel any jealousy, animosity or distrust of
Fayetteville. It is a very great mistake to sup
pose so; and our neighbors will pardon us for
saying, th it by far too much importance is given
to every slip of the pen, stray paragraph or idle
remark, having a tendency to keep alive variance,
than should rightfully att-.cb to them." With
out expressing any opinion as to the correctness
of the statement made by the Herald, we may be
permitted to hope that, hereafter, we may have
no more of this spirit of jeaulousy between the
two towns. As long as the Cape Fear River
runs the interest of the two places will be some
what identical. The feelings of their people
ought, therefoie, to be friendly.

ROBBERIES are all the go now, and bid fair
to supersede murders and drive them into the
very extreme corners and out-of-the-way places
in the newspapers. Complaints are filling the
papers in several directions, of mail robberies,
and it has become altogether unsafe to trust money
in the hands of Uncle Sam's agents. There is a
sharp man on1 the watch, we understand, with
the object of ferretting out the villains. A rob
bery was committed in Wilmington, on the 6tb,
at the Carolina Hotel. Tte Wilmington Herald
$150 in money, were taken from the room of Dr.
T. C. Murphy, of this county; grio were abstract
ed from the pocket boi.k of Mr Cotton, of this
place, and $20 in like manner from Mr Towns
hend. Other rooms were entered. Several ol
the doors were locked the keys remaining on the
inside; these were easily opened by an instru
ment known to housekeepers and burglers made
especially for the purpose. The rogue or rogues
were evidently of the experienced kind , for apart
from the boldness of the w hole proceeding, they
were familiar with the rules for the detection of
counterfeit money, a $20 bad note having
been carefully replaced in the pocket book of one
of the sufferers, while no such attention was be
stowed upon the genuine.
The robbers have not yet been arrested, or the
plundeied effects recovered."
THE DIFFICULTY AT GREYTOWN.
From a correspondent of the Washington
Union, who writes from Greytown under date of
March 23d, we gather the following facts in re
lation to the difficulty which lately took place
there. It seems that when the agents of Mr
Vanderbilt first made application te the authori
ties of Greytown for a site for their depot, they
lefused to allow of one on the same side of the
bay on which the city stands, and assigned to
the Vandeibilt line a site for their depot on
Point Arenas, a spit of land which forms one
side of the harbor. The company proceeded to
erect buildings on this site. Meantime the
means of transporting passengers were improv
ed, and the California passengers not being de
tained in Greytown as formerly, the people there
made less money. They grew dissatisfied, and
wanted the Vanderbilt depot removed to their
side of the bay. This request not being
complied with, the marshall of Greytown,
with an armed force, proceeded, on the 21st of
Feb., to Point Arena, and levelled to the ground
several buildings belonging to the Accessory
Transit Company, and one belongi ng to Capt.
McCerren, of New Orleans Matters went on
in this way until the arrvaTof fhe Cyane, Capt.
llnllins, on the 10th March. This officer, after
hearing t lie statements of both parties, deter
mined to protect the rights of the company. A
force was landed and the ship put in a position
to co-operate with it in repelling any attack from
the Greytown people. On the 12th the Grey
town flag was lowered, ard on the 14th hoist
ed again. If these facts be true, and the whole
truth, we can see nothing to blame in the
conduct of Capt. Hollins. In protecting the
property of American cit izens, he acted asan

dollars. . . r ? :
These bonds are couponed, are to ran thirty
years, and are specially exempted from taxation.
We learn that a good portion of these bond
were taken by English capitalists. .
This is, under the circumstances, a most grati
fying sale. The State had just entered the for
eign market, and the time which Northern and
European capitalists could have for looking into
her resources and means of payment, was neces
sarily limited. Georgia, with an extensive sys
tem of paying internal improvements, and with
a foreign credit well established, has thus far
realized but fiva per cent upon her bonds, the
last sale of which Avaa effected, we believe, by
Gov. Cobb, in New York, about 12 months since,
at the above figure. NoTO Carolina has thus,
at one step, placed her creditpon a level with
that of the most wealthy ndiayored Sir?
Her varied resources, her system of i
i1 Mil JrdcierT2" , -,
to engagements which rtems-to t ie a part
of the existence of her people, furnish guaran
tees which no one can doubthat her credit
will be sustained, and fullysustained, under all
circumstances and in ejrery emergency. '
There are still to be sold one million five hun
dred thousand dollars of her bonds, necessary to
complete the North Carolina Railway. If, as is
most probable, the present influx of gold from
California and Australia should continue, and if
no unfavorable event should happen in mo
netary afTairs, we may reasonably look for a still
better premium on the next five hundred thou
sand dollars ; and the probability now is, that
the whole clear premium upon the two millions
will amount to one hundred thousand dollars
it may reach one hundred and twenty thousand.
The unsettled condition of Europe "is also to be
considered in calculations of this character.
Capitalists there have been for some time in
vesting here, in securities of this kind. - They
find, in bonds of the States united and of the
individual States, evidences of debt as promptly,
honored in the way of interest as those in any
other quarter of the world; but, above all, they
realize, when they invest here, a feeling of safety
which inspires the fullest confidence and is sure
to command the best premiums.
Great credit is due to the Public Treasurer,
Mr Courts, for the attention and labor he has
bestowed upon this department of his duties.
He has spared neither pains nor expense in lay
ing before American and European capitalists
the natuie and value of the State's resources,
and of the advantages offered in these bonds.
His patriotic efforts have been thus far crowned
with most fortunate results. We feel satisfied
that, if these b inds had not been couponed, and
if they had been offered in no other market but
in that of our own State, they would not have
commanded more than three per cent.
