Railroad, Matters. -. - ;r- A correspondent at Magnolia writes that ac cording to a circular : issued by the General Ticket Agent of the Wilmington and Weldon and W., C. and A. Railroads, under date' of July 15, 1871, round excursion tickets from stations on both roads were put -at certain rates, those between Magnolia and Wilming ton and Smithville and return at $1 25, and between Dudley and Magnolia and Smithville at $1 75. A party has been making up to take the trip from Magnolia for the past week upon the proposals stated in the circular, some of them living 15 miles off. : It is now complain ed that On the day our correspondent writes the Agent at that place .was Informed that the rates were - cnaBged and advanced to ?a 5, instead of 1 75.'' Our correspondent is of the opinion, that Railroads, as well as individuals, should abide by their proposals or give timely notice of changes. i a ; r :c A X.ively Corpse. The liveliest corpse we have seen for many a day is Joe Lucas, whom we reported dead, killed, murdered, assassinated and "shot to death with musketry,' in the" Star of yester day. Joe walked into our office about 9 A. M and, as we said before, he was remarkably Jvely for a corpse. He bad a broad grin on his face, an enormous bucket on each arm, which he flopped" energetically Rafter -the manner of a vulture' 6 wings, and a pair pf legs swung on to his hips which he moved about with comparative ease. If dead, the boy evi dently wasn't cold. He Lucas in de eye and he say: "What for you kill me .last'nigb t ; I was at a weddin': I ain't dead, Is I?" After sur veying him from head to heels, and feeiing his pulse, we told him we couldn't say positively that he was; and we think it best to give Jo seph the benefit et the doubts H Arrest and Confinement of a Deserter.

WiuirNGTON, N. C, 12th Aug., 1871. To Wnu TfHarriss; Eaa. President of the Chamber of Commerce, Wilmington; ' Sir": No convenient opportunity having presented itself at an earlier day; I made a visit to the pnblic works near the f New inlet, in company with5 Major Griswold, the resident Engineer, this day. . ! v In my last report, I stated that "about one hundreed lineal feet of cribs bad been placed in position upon the old stone foundation, and partially filled in with stone." It now becomes my pleasant task to report the placing of the foundation of cribs up to the first channel, through' the line "of the oldi stopework, a distance- of boot v two hundred and eighty feet from; the cross, as designated in my June report, about one hundred and thirty feet- of which is complete, ; with the finishing 6U-. perstructure.v"'!v, u'ii. i:.u()' --- .The channel above alluded to, which, at the commencement of the work,- exhibited about eight feet of water, was founds when' reached by the workmen,' to have cut I out to a much greater depth. :The rapid cutting out of this channel may be attributed, I think, to : the contraction of the opening -through which the water had previously passed, concentrating it upon this point. This channel, which is hot wide, is now being bedded with 6tones, prepa ratory to placing the foundation .cribs across This unexpected extra work has somewhat retarded a rapid progress, but, upon the whole, the work appears to : be moving forward in a very satisfactory manner.- --y The brush fence, - for collecting sand upon the low-"parts of the" beach, is acting fluely, and has already - elevated the surface : above 6torm tides wherever they have been placed. The experiments in cultivating grass upon the bare beach has the appearance - of proving successful. The native grass, found growing i spontaneously upon these sands, and; wnicn 1 designate, as beach grass, . is found to bear trans planting generously, and I think will prove of much- value in collecting the drift 6and, as well as securing it, having "strong lateral and fibrous roots, with a stout cane-like spike run ning up some three to live feet above ground, putting . ont lateral roots at every joint as rapidly as the sand collects around it, mean while shooting upward the main stem to its standard belght, carrying with it Its beautiful head of seed, ibis grass, being or sponta neous production. , seems peculiarly adapted by , nature for Just such positions, and only requires the'hand for industry , and skill to make it or incalculable value, v - The beach, two to five miles south of the works, appears in a critical? condition," in some places . quite narrow,, and cut out in trenches between the hills, by the force of pre vailing winds, and the water during very high tides finds passage across, and if long neglect ed the result is plain, without the gift of pro phecy ,VV r This condition of. the beach may probably be attributable to the concentration of wind currents-in their passage south and west over the open bay lying between Smith's Island and the main .laud; and which: has likewise had the effect (most probably) of producing a curvature in the coast line, which can only oe checked by the? cultivation of shrubbery for strengthening the beach. . It is perceptible that the: volume of water passing out of the main or old outlet of the river, between Smith's Island and Oak Island, has been largely Increased since the commence ment of operations near New Inlet, and which seems to taHe the direction of the old eastern channel, near Bald head Point, where : it is 'spread over various shoals, which may require :dredgtng or plowing to concentrate the water into a defined channel, which, no doubt," it will soon scour out. ? ...The chart ofa survey of the main outlet of the river, made by Capt Judkin in May last, by directum of the Coast Survey Department, has been received by Mi'jor Griswold, Vhich exhibits a draft of nine and a half (9i) feet of water at mean low tide on the Rip, near Fort Caswell.. . . . . ; - : ''rnti ; .;S;ii4.i; , r Respectfully submitted, . : tl..JNUTT, cnairman.
