WILMINGTON, N. C. Saturday. October 4th, 1873. The courage and enterprise of man kind is offered, in the explorations of Africa, a nobler field than in the icy regions of the poles. While all admit the advantages of the Northwest pas sage, if it could be found, it is extreme ly doubtful if the present state of science and knowledge can make the discovery. But Africa affords a splendid scops to that adventurous spirit which makes the goal of to-day the starting post of to morrow; which is never satisfied but in action, and which makes one discovery the stepping stone for others. That Unknown domain, inhabited by Unknown men, will be removed from the map 5 et, and perhaps the great African de- ,crt will go the way of the great Amer- ican ucscrt wmcn aoucu me gcogra- mic UI uur y""11-. - Thc wonderful enterprise of Chicago I lias never Been oetter illustrated man i in the Industrial Exposition which was I openeu in ma city on me tn 01 oep- i tcmber. bix months ago the suggestion was made that Chicago have an Expo-1 vition, and in less than ninety working I days a structure of Wood, glass and iron I was begun and hnished. Ihe size oi 1 this magnificent building is nearly dou- I blc that of thc Bonton Coliseum, which I was supposed to have been the largest I in the world. It covers more than five I acres of ground, being eight hundred icct in length by two hundred in width, I and its cost was about a quarter of a 1 million of dollars. I The visitors on the day of thc open-1 iug numbered about twenty-five thou sand, and the articled on exhibition were numerous.

From the description of the man, unaries Livingstone Deueve it is his son. Special dispatches from St. Peters burg report that a rapture has occurred in the relations between the Govern ments of Russia and Japan, growing out of the question of the proprietorship of a portion of the Saghalien Island. Spanish dispatches from all sec tions of the country represent that a much better feeling prevails. The re- establishment of discipline in the army served to restore confidence in the abil ity of the Government to suppress all insurrections. There is intense excitement among the settlers and stock men in the Ar- kansas valley, south of Pueblo, on ac count of depredations committed by roving bands of Cheyenne Indians, who have already wantonly killed several hundred head of cattle. Thus far no murders are reported, but the Indians have visited a number of houses and carried away blankets and anything else they discovered, and destroyed other propcrty.

A country with an immense fieid for enterprise, and comparatively limited capital, is always liable to pan ics. Improvements made in Western communications are most useful and profitable, but may cause further trou ble. The entire blame for the disaster rests upon the unsound monetary sys tem of the country.

The reception of delegates of the Evangelical Alliance, at the Young Men's Christian Association in Yew York, October 2d, was attende4 by an immense crowd.
