Deep. River.
'. On enquiry, we Cud that the Cape Fear and Deep
River works are progi ess-ing favorably uhdT Mr.
Morris's direction, qiiite' as well as" could be expec
ted. .'
By tho way, we have read and beard complaints
against Mr. Morris, founded upon ttie charge that lie
refused to comply wiUi the terms upon which he ad-
vertised br hands, to wit ; a dollar a day and board.
The facts as explained to us are these :
The hands refer, ed to ut ?J tne
Siu;!1i;;;;varVto tie ll,t Viih
was out and they came to be settled with, it was
found that the cost wa greater than that for which
the Commissiqu boarded the balance of the bauds. 1 he
terms of ihe agreement not havi'cg been very precise,
the different board 'bills were pal.: together" with the
dollar a day stipulated" for, hut? it- was stated tLen dis-
tinctly, that the Oomrn;s.-ioner iMiugrtpoit to hoard the
hands and pay th-m a duHa;- a day, and i-o so, but it
the hands chose to board themselves at a limber rate
tliari u cost the Com missiou. 'that vs their own look
out, and thev hey theiijselves nuit pay the difference.
This is ahouj. tne suhsia.ice of the thing, and we can
not see wherein Mr. Morris is to blame."'
We published sometime since two articles con
cerning the reduction of wages at Jones' Lock, and
if we understand it correctly the Journal speaks d
us when it says it read complaints against Mr
Morris."
We do not allude to this for the pur-pose
of being at all meddlesome in the matter, but solely
to substantiate our former position. The whole
d'ffh-ulty is just this: Mr Morris advertised in the
Wilmington papers for laborers to work on the
Cape Fear and Deep River work, for which labor
the Comniis:
-:oa was to pay one dollar per day
. not tc.cify t'u'
' V ' i
"rotl to -,"lloy,
Hnl board. The advertisement did
lind i liVei-ox-ii t.U.j.-i intorustoJ d
nestner did it uesignute tne precise locality aL
which the work was to be done. A number oj
white men went to work at Jones' Lock with the
expectation of getting th" price which the Fhigin-
eer atsyertiseu to pay ior np'tr i ioor. jte tint
...
them for their labor at the rates specified for a vorv I
shoat time but refused to do so longer. The tin- j
derstandmg ou'smlt of the coram m oer.sc rending of
the ad-rertUemcnt is, that at Jones' Lock they will
get one dollar and twenty-five cents per day and
pay their own board, and at soma other ' point on
the river they will get one dollar and board, provi
ded the whit.1 laborers eat and sleep with the ne
groes. The rates paid ai(d the rites advertised to
be paid are quite different. We attac h blame to
no one bt only reiterate that tliero should be a
uniformity in the wvges paid. Mr Morris, in the
advertisement which appeared in the Journal did
, . . i 11 " ' i ,
not sav that in order to get a dollar per dav and
- - -
board for their labor, white nv-n should cut and
sleep with negroes, neither did he say anything

Editorial Convention!
We clip the following from our sprightly cotem-
pprary the TarhorJ Mercujy, and commend it to
the consideration of our brethren of the corps edit-
orial. The amount of good which wculd enure
frotp tl;e hqhling annually or semi-annually of a
convention f editors cannot, we think, be too high
ly estimated. Very frequently a man's writing is
not a true indox tq bis character; Editors form no
exception to this rule? and we know from experience
that nothing is more important , to tho profession
than a personal acquaintance with each other. We
are acquainted persrpally with one third of the ed
itors of North Carolina papers, and we must ac
knowledge that we under.stan 1 the articles from
their pen and know what construction to place upon
them much bitter than the writing of those of our
brethren whom we have nsyer seen. We do hope
the organization of an editorial convention will be
effected. The exigencies &(f the time seem to de:
mand it :
At one time there was considerable being said
by the di.ferent papers in our Statt, in regard to
holding an editorial convention ; but now we believe
t!e suoject has been dropped, for we hear not a word
said concerning it. - We can not for the life of us'
see why the agitation of thw propriety Gf holding a
thing t ..-.t would bo productive of such beneficial
results as an editorial convention should all of asud
den be ceased. That it would be productive of good
cannot b: for a moment fe denied, as we are certain
by the members of the di fie rent presses in the State
being brought together and made personally ae
quaiutedfa greater dcgr e of good feeling would be
engendered, than exists where they ure known to
eath -other only , by reputation. -We believe that
it should be held, and we hope that some of our ex-
changes will move in the matter."

The European Correspond ?nt of the New York
Daily News writing from Milan, speaks as follows
concerning his visit to Napoleon's grave:
The tomb of Napoleon, long in construction and
now nearly tinished, attracts immense crowds. It is
only open to the public twice a week, and the rush
at the time of our visit was tremendous. I had stood
by the side of Wellington's sarcophagus only a few
days belbe, and then all was quiet, only two or
three visitors being present. But where Wellington
gained one buttle Napoleon gained a dozen, and the
grave of this conqueroror of nations and monarch of
monarchs will have a charm for the mdlion when
generals merelv will be frgotten. But if I were
surprised at the crowd and the excitement, 1 was not i
l0Ss so at the beauty and splendor ot this imperial ;

In 1833, he was appointed by the President one j
of the lardof Commissioners to decide and allot
the amounts -due citizens of the United States for
injuries by Qrancc, as setUed by treaty of 4th of
July, lS-il.-f ,
Here it was the fortune of the author of these
sketches to be associated with General Saunders on
this commission, and it cannot be improper tp re
cord the facts of the manner in which these import?
ant duties were discharged.
This was a most important commission. The
amounfct. be distributed, as securedby treaty, was
twenty-five millions of francs; it was to be distrib-
uted amoung thousands of claimants. Hon. Geo.
W. Campbell, of Tennessee, late member of Con
gress, Miniater Plenopotentiary to Russia, and Sec
retary of Treasury, and Hon. John K. Kane, now
U. S. Judge of Pennsylvania, were his colleagues.
. The first legal talents of the nation appeared be
fore this Board as advocates'; among them were Dan
iel Webster, Chancellor Kent, Francis Key, and
David B. Ogden. Sucii were the patient and labo
rious habits of (Jenoral Saunders, the acumen of
his intellect and thcclearness of his decisions, that
he won for himself the respect and esteem of all in
this arduous dutv.
In 18-35, he was elected-by the Legislature Judge
0f the Superior Courts, which he resigned in 1840,
J on being nominated as the Democratic candidate for
, Governor. The heat and ardor of this political cam-
paign will be long remembered. Judge Saunders
shared the' fortunes and fate of his partv, and was
defeated by John M. Morehead, Esq.
.In 1841, he was a Cain elected to Congress, and

The Notice promised twenty-six dollars per
month and board. That is very diffi-rent from one
dollar and twenty-five cents per day, and forty
cents for board, as any one who can calculate will
readily see. If a man should be so luc' y as to
i work twentv-six days in a month, he then would
makq thirty-two dollars and fifty cents; take his
board bill out for thirty days twelve dollars nd
he will hayo. twenty dollars and fifty' cents, instead
of twenty-six dollars if he had worked by the month
as advertised. The man who works by the month
looses no time for stormy day's. He that work
tho day is entitled onlv to the time he works.
The complaint of souje of the men is, they have
been deceived ; ami some not being acquainted
with figures thought that one dollar and a quarter
per day and pay f orty cents for board, was better
wages that twenty-six dollars per inui!di.
