him for said work to date, we beg leave to
xeport that we find that agreeable to. a pe
tition made by several prominent members
of tbe bar, to have copied two index books
in the Register of Deeds' office, tbe Board
of Commissioners entertained two proposi
tions for the said transcription, one from
Jasper Bishop and one from J. H. Smyth.
The communication of J. H. Smyth, to the
Board, which was a lower bid than Jasper
Bishop's, is as follows: ,

highest consideration of respect.

As a matter of general interest, we pub

Cl'ii.'l Craiuiiill yesterday opened pro-
ixwals iu this city for tbe extension of the
Federal Point Jettee at tbe New Inlet, near
near the mouth of tne uape Dear river;
North Carolina. This is an important
work.- lieing to close New Inlet by artificial
means, and thus increase the depth of the
river to the harbor of .Wilmington, so as to
admit of the passage of large vessels. New
Iniel was defended by the Confederate
Fort Fisber during the war. It is located
on the eastern side of the Cape Fear river,?
nineteen miles below the city of Wilming
ton, and eight miles above tbe mouth prop;
er of the river. - Old records show that this
inlet has been in existence for somewhat
over a century, and that its origin was due
as much (i not more) to tne action ot tne
wind upon the dry sand of the beach as to
the tendency of the river currents to seek
that outlet to tbe sea. up to me summer
season of 1873 no steps were ever taken to
contract the area of outflow at New ' Inlet,
although several breaks which had : from
time to time occurred below the New Inlet
had been successfully closed. On July 1,
1873. the work tor closing tne space be
tween Smith's and Zeke's Islands had just
been completed, and New Inlet remained
as tbe only passage to tbe sea except tue
mouth of the river. At this time the con
dition of the New Inlet was about as fol
lows: Width in a direct line from Federal
Point to Zeke's Island, 4,200 feet; depth of
water on said line from six to fifteen feet
at ordinary low water. Vessels of light
draft (say nine feet) coming to- this point
from the north, can enter by way of tbe
New Inlet at high water, thus saving a run
of about thirty-tive miles to enter the i old
mouth, in July, 1873, tne present f ederal
Point jettee was commenced, and during
the summer and fall oi mat year was ex
tended ,to , 500 feet in . length. As
the Object ; of f this work was primarily
to serve as a denector to tne inlet
currents, and not necessarily to form an in
tegral part of any closing work which might
afterward be undertaken, tne direction
given it served to diminish the distance
across the Inlet by only about 400 feet
thus leavingthe distance across, from end
of jettee to Zeke's Island,, about 3,800 feet.
One of tne results oi mis wore nas oeen
the growth of Federal Point, the beach of
which has followed out along the jettee on
both sides, to about one-half its length, and
to high water mark.. . It now seems advisa
ble to extend the Federal Point jettee dur
ing the coming-fiscal year to as great a
length as the state of available funds will
permit. About $100,000 will be available
for tbe prosecution of this work, with the
probability of an increased allotment, in
case advantageous bids are offered. The
desire is to entirely close the inlet
Capt C. B. Phillips, of the corps of
United States engineers, who has charge of
the work, states that' when the present de
flector was erected the water in the mouth
of the river increased in depth, and it! has
been satisfactorily demonstrated that should
the inlet be closed, a depth of eighteen feet
at the mouth will at once be attained, r ;

it became a part of the sea, and is now the
