Mr. ck speaks very highly of the good con t ot the people in attendance. At the jlic dinner given, there was no indeco- oj intoxication and he asserts that the red youth of that township demonstrate t thcy-are perfectly capable of receiving Itruction ; and the colored people of this guborhood deserve great praise lor their severance under many disadvantages I the great interest they manifest in the ucatiOQ of their cbildren. r - .Tax Clerk of the Superior Court receired a letter from the eessni oSce last week, stating that the ctesus returns for thh conntj thoired that orcr eight hundred criminals had been cohricted In this conntj during the year ending Juno 1st, 1871; and as the nnabeT TO oUrsej lsSjtisa. was asked for. The clerk returned that there were but eighty cases con-victed dur ing that year, including AwauiU ind Bat teries. A pretty .fair showing for a city and county of this size. Tmm .Albxs&juuc crnddle still continues." We arc anxious U seethe Bepnblican party successful always and at all times, and in all "places; but allowing.au alderman two rotes i a species of cnmnlsire rotlng as Wilmington, and as outraged The cumulative system forced, upon us here, and -carefully omitted where the democrats held sway, is in conformity with the rest of their legislation, unjust and wrong. Ye local again starts his travels over the sawdust roads,- hunting for the latest news. He assumes his duties with diffidence, and steps into his old place at the tread-mill of daily journalism with the hope of assist ance irom every one who has a good item for him. Always tell a local everything you know. He miyht accidently find something of importance among the trash you would rehcrsc, and thereby aid him in his laborious but laudable undertaking of serving up the latest and spiciest dishes for his many readers. Now this is good advice and we hope every one will follow it. We shall endeavor to make Tub Evening Post a welcome guest at every fireside. It will have a first class list oi correspondents, who will write on various topics of 'nteresL Wc have engaged weekly letters on fashions and chit chat generally, from ladies not un known to fame, in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, during the entire season, and notes by the way from a party oi travelers, who will "do" the Ureat North- West. Origi nal poems and tales will also be published from time to time, and we shall spare no pains or expense to make our paper a popu lar one, with all classes of people. Our Democratic neighbors are not very enthusiastic over the nomination of Dr. CKBSLer. We suppose now they will call themselves the White Man's-Democratic-Conscrvativc-Libcral Republican party. Its a hard pill for them to take, however, laugh as they may. But a party which has no greater platform than merely to defeat the present Administration, and which voted solidly for Frank Blair, four years ago, certainly shonkPnt squirm at swallow iug Dr. GKBELsr now. Those of them here who have no platform or anything' else except hatred oi Republicanism, say " it the Democratic Convention, will only en dorse the Cincinnati nominations we can beat Grant." Now here is where the laugh comes in. A Northern Democrat could no more be induced to vote for Gbbilei than the ancient and; oft-recited traditional cat could be induced to cat &oap, they can't stomaeh hhtt"csnd4 there is no use in talking. Then their hopes lie in their disgusted office seeking friends who shout loud and long for the "Liberal" party. A few of this class of politicians make much noise, but the great body of the Northern Republicans are a .reading people, and they see through all these little games as plainly as we do down here. The North follows its leader as long as he pur sues the path they have marked out for him ; when he deviates, they leave him snd accept another standard bearer." w Oitv Ocmrt.

Truth W a very tenacious thing, as these worthies arc beginning todiscovcr.

Boston, Capt Lcary, in company with Mr. Benton and others, Major Griswold being indis posed. Since our last visit, on the 10th of April, about eighty feet of the breakwater has been finished, making fifteen hundred (1500) feet now complete, and two hundred and twen ty (320) feet more nearly finished, which takes the work to the last unbroken line of old stone work, to finish which, is . a small job comparatively, and wc hope to be able to say in our June report that the break water is complete to the northern cud of the old, stone work, a distance of over two thousand (2,000) feet, to the &outhern line of the wide bhallow opening south ol Zekc's Island, the work of crossing which has al ready commenced by the placing of sever al foundation cribs. The beach formation in front of the breakwater continues to follow the work, but not so rapidly, or so close as at first. The current of the main inlet alluded to in our last report as takiaga southeasterly direction across the inletand pressing upon j the point of Smith Island beach, is more clearly defined, and is evidently damaging the beach materially. In fact, this point oi the beach appears in a very precarious con dition. It is expected, wc believe, that the breakwater which now deflects to the east ward as it progresses will check this. cur rent forcing it more directly out, aud thus relieve! the beach. We hate had no opportunity for an extended examination of the beach south of the works, but have been informed that there arc many places ', in a dangerous condition. The brush fences already constructed stand well, and are performing very satis factory service, but, we are sorry to say, there has been no additions to them since our last report. The transplanting of grass continues, but progresses very slowly, as we suppose, for want of means to push the work more vig orously. This is to be regretted, as the grass is doing finely, promising valuable results and permanence. On the 24th of April, Col. Craighill, ac companied by Major Grisweld, and a num ber of prominent merchants and other citizens, made a visit of inspection to the works, on board the United States Cutter 8eward, Capt Carson. We believe the Col. tves. 'satisfied with the progress and con dition of the work. On which occasion, he was joined by Commander Norton of thcU. S. Navy, at tached to the buoy departments; also, by Lieut, W. Irving Vinal, of the coast surrey, With his sub-assistants, Evans and Hicks, for Ihe purposing of examing the new channel with the view of determining upon the practibility of buoying it. The examination proved satisfactory, aud the buoying determined upon as soon as the proper huoys could be procured, but up to this time it has not beeu done. To those who have made similar excur sions on the Seward it would be superfluous to, say r we spent a charming day, for all know the happy faculty of. Capt. Carson and his officers for inaking their guests feel at home and comfortable. We trust that we may be allowed to make a 6ligbt digression just here, simply to state incidentally, and to place ' upon re cord, a fact rather extraordinary, which ia no less than the capture in our waters of a genuine " ibwZp," or " Eljld Artncd CaUXt" (Octopus Vulgaris). This rare and won derful fish or animal was hooked and cap tured on the blackfish ground near the mouth of the river, on the 9th of May, inst;, by Capt. John R. Chad wick, or the tug Brandt, and is now in possession of J. .G. Bulcken, Esq., on Water street, pre served in alcohol for inspection by the curious. It ha but seven arms of cikht to twelve inches in length (one having becu cut off or destroyed in some way). This rare creature has been found on the coasts of Nortn Wales and Devonshire, and like wise in tropical waters, where it is regarded as a formidable enemy from the enormous size it attains, having arms of from five to fifteen; feet in length. It has also, we believe, been found upon the Northern Pacific Coast ot America, but never before this, to our knowledge, has it been found upon the Atlantic coasts of the United States. For a more particular de scription, we refer to AppUlan? Journal of the &th of March, 18T2, No. 151, VoL 7 page 279. Respectfully, i H. Nutt, Chairman.

It you haven't dont. Large type isn't necessiry in adver tising. Blind folks doni read news papers. Never run down you: oppoucut's goods in public. Let him do his own advertising. 1 Let your advertisement! have some thing ot the dash in tlcm, without great exaggeration. You can't eat enough in one week to last you a whole year, and you caul advertise on that plan either. It's as true of advertising as of any thing else in the world ii it is worth doing at all, ii is worth doing well. Exchange. Important to Newspaper I'.ublislici.. Seeing in several of our exchanges a paragraph in regard to the law regula ting the mailing of newspapers, we wrote to the Postmaster General- asking for information on the sabject, believ ing that the following statement which is going the rounds of the papers was incorrect: MAILING NEWSl'APEKS. The Postoffice Department has issued orders for the strict enfoncemeut of the following new regulations: Name of sender cannot be written on the paper; no memorandum or intelligible inscrip tion must be put inside the wrapper; no printed card, hand bill or advertise ment must be inclosed; no written no tice, letter or written slip oi any kind can be folded in; printed slips, solicit ing notices of the press pasted inside of newpapers or magazines, ot -outside of wrappers, are in violation; also cross marks- to- incltcat - that subscriptions have expired. All other regulations arc as formerly. A violation of tny of these points subjects the matter to letter post age, and the perpetrator to 1 fioe. We asked the Postmaster-General to inform us if the above-' was a correct statement ot the law and wc are pleased to say that hie answer shows that it is au erroneous statement, in somcparticulars at least. The following is the rcrly kf.theP. O. Department at Washington: Post Office Department, Washington, D. C, May l1, 1872. W. J. Yatcs 'Charlotte flenwerat, N. C: Sir: You are informed, in reply to your letter ot April 27th, that under the provisions of sections 209 of the postal regulations, to which you are referred, publishers may enclose in their publica tions sent to regular subscrilibrs the bills for subscription thereto, without any additional charge for postage, and may write or print upon their publications or upon the wrappers thereof, the name and address of the subscribers thereto, and the date and when the subscription will expire; but any other enclosure in writing or in print subjects the package to letter rates of postage. Very Respectfully, J. W. Marshall, First Assistant P. M. General. Cliurhtte Democrat. t j Things Wise and Other wise. The champion reaper advertising. Be prudent ; be punctual ; be honest. "Excuse haste and a bad pen," as the pig said when he broke out. - Douglass Jerrold said: "Eve ate the apple that she might indulge iu dress." , In putting "the best foot forward,'' always use the right, or else it will be left. An old lady writing to her son, warns him to beware of bilious saloons aud bowel alieys. There is but one good wile in the world, and every happily wedded man thinks be has her. The last California earthquake had the effect of suddenly curing several lame beggars in San Francisco. A young lady sends in this: How to prevent chappy cheeks i Have noth ing to do with cheeky chaps. A Texas editor contends that an'M. C. from the State has a right to sell lib seat because "he bought it." Marriages arc most numerous in tire autumn. So it was in Eden; the iirst marriage was in the early fall. A woman that marries a man simply ' cause he is a good match, must not be surprised if be turns out a Lucifer. Frightened Mormons, instead of scal ing any number of new wives, are now concealing the number ot wives they ham Accident Brerliir? il-i-t 33y Mail. v4 f ArjoiNTMEXT.
