DEATH OF DR. BLEDSOE. - In the death of Rev. Dr. Albert Taylor Bledsoe the South foaea one 0f its most acute, vigorous and origi nal thinkers, and one of its best in formed citizens. He was a man of Hry superior intellectual parts, and te regret our inability to give the chief points in his life. He was at one time Prof essor both in the Uni versity of Mississippi and the Uni - nrsity of Virginia. , He . was in his eaTly manhood an Episcopal minister, bat for some years he has been a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, lie waaiot an eloquent or verv successful preacher, but was a snferof great force and boldness. He was of Lot temper, and often wrote harshly, but he was a formida ble opponent. His chief theological work, "The Theology," is an able discassion from the American stand point. His little book, ."Was Jeff Davis a Traitor," is an impor tant and unanswerable argument to show that prior to '". the war of the States the right of secession was recognized in the Con stitution of the United States. It is the most powerful argument on the Southern side we have ever read, not even excepting that of Hon. Alexan der Stephens in his masterly histori cal work. Dr. Bledsoe was in his aity-ninth year, and a native of Vir ginia, we believe. For ten years he has devoted nearly all of his time to the editing of the Southern Review, which he founded, and to whose pages he has contributed so lavishly and ably. ' .

Subsequent information as to the fallof Plevna shows that at least 40, 000 Turks surrendered,and 400 guns were captured. ; The sufferings of the Turks duringthe siege were ter rible. The slaughter is very great. Osman Pasha exhibited the highest courage, and would only agree to a surrender after being severely wound ed. . Lakes In Nortn Carolina. t The only bodies of fresh water in the State which attain to the dignity of lakes are in the eastern section. They are 15 in number. The largest is Mattamuskeet, in Hyde county, which has an area of nearly 100 square miles. Its form is elliptical, and its dimensions 15 miles by 5 to 7. This - and three others, Phelps Lake, Alligator Lake and Pungo Lake, are situated in the great swamp between Albemafrle and Pamlico Sounds. Phelps Lake has about one third of the area of Mattamuskeet, and the others are of much smaller dimensions. In the White Oak swamp of Jones and Carteret counties is a group of small oval. lakes only a few miles apart and connected by canals partly natural and partly artificial. The largest of these, North West Lake,hasan area of 10 to 12 miles. 'In the Green Swamp of Brunswick coun ty occurs another lake of the same' form and character, 8 miles long by 5 wide. ' These lakes are all situated in the highest parts of the swamps in which they are found, and have san dy bottoms, for the most part, and a depth of 4 or 5 to 8 or 10 feet, and occasionally more. There are five other small lakes in Bladen county, about half way between Wilmington and Fayetteville, between Cape Fear river and South river. Their average area is probably not more than two square miles. The aggregate lake surface of the State is more than 200 square miles. Prof. Kerr's Geolog ical Report. Looklnff up Immigrants. The following concerning one of our citizens is from the Springfield (Mass.) JReptiblican of a recent date: LawyerNeillDumout, of Charlotte, N. C, well and fayorahly known hereabouts as the former efficient head of the Springfield weather office, is in this section as agent of the North Carolina Board of Agri- cullure to encourage emigration to that State. He has lived there about a year, and speaks from -the stand point of a Northern man. He likes the people, the climate and the country so well that he cordially recommends them. At the same time it is with sensible reservations. It is not tjie place for folks with no capi tal to start anew, but for good far mers with sufficient money to get a start, he believes there is a profitable opportunity in North Carolina. There is also room for all manufacturers. Land in large bodies can be bought for 60 cents, and there is average good land for 2 and $3 an acre in abundance, but of course with mea gre improvements. Sensible people down there, as at the North, believe in Hayes, and there is no political persecution. .... The Carolina Farmer. Nut Shell. This valuable magazine, published at Wilmington, by Mr. W.

The candle was stuck to the table, hence the fire. '.' The Weldon News says that the splendid iron bridge of theTetersburg and Weldon Railroad Company, across the Roa noke river just beyond Weldon, sunk down into-the channel of the river during the late freshet, and is very little injured. : It will be replaced at an early day.

Tarboro Southerner: A few of the merchants and business men of the town of Tarboro met last Tuesday evening at tbe law office of Howard & Nash; to talk about the building of the Williamalon & Tarboro Railroad, and the influence the completion of tbe same would have upon the commercial interests of the town. It is proposed to have a large and fuller meet ing at an early day, when the question will be again discussed in all its bearings, and the proposition for aid in labor, material and money, finally considered. ' Greensboro North State : Samuel C. Robertson, dealer in marble monuments, &c, of this place, has .just finished six small head stones for the children of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Wood, of Company Shops, whose ages were 16, 13, 10, 7, 4 and 2 years. The first died September 30th; the others on October 1st, 4th, 6th, 7th and 9th. All of them died with that frightful disease, diphtheria. The little monuments look, as it were, like stepping stones, com mencing with the youngest and gradually, going up to the oldest. Such heavy afflic tion in one fami y is seldom beard of. Carolina (S. G.) Spartan, Dec 5th: From Mr. James H. McMillan we learu that a boy and girl, aged 16 and 12 years, were crossing a foot-bridge at Mc Millan's mill, on North Pacolette.on Satur day last, when tbe boy fell in, dragging tbe girl with him. The stream was swollen from the recent rains, and after drifting down some seventy-five yards, the girl caught some limbs overhanging the stream and succeeded in escaping. The lad, how ever, was drowned, although she gave the alarm, his body being recovered on Sunday a half mile below the bridge. The children belonged to a family named Ridings, of Polk county, N. C. Newbemian : Judge Seymour has given universal satisfaction wherever be has presided, and has. by the impartial ity and fairness of his rulings, won golden opinions for himself.-The laudatory no tices of the press must be a source of con-. gratulation to his Honor. We are pleased to announce that the M. E. Confer ence, which recently convened at Salis bury, returns Rev. J. R. Brooks to New bern Station and to the pastorship of the New Street Church, which position this gentleman has, during his clerical labors here, filled with great credit to himself and satisfaction to his large congregations. Ashe ville Citizen: Prof. C. D. Smith, of Macon, has received a medal and diploma, awarded him last year, by the Centennial authorities, for a valuable col lection of minerals, which he had collected from oar Western counties. Mr. S. de serves this for his skill and energy as well as the minerals. Our Henderson co temporary, the Era, exposes what it justly terms a huge swindle perpetrated upon some Northern gentlemen by a man named Bobbitt. It seems that Bobbitt "entered" Several hundred thousand acres of land in "Western N. Carolina," and sold his im mense estate to others, who agreed to sell to some Boston men who proposed to bring out a large colony. Upon looking up these lands they were found to be mostly on pa per. There is an important lesson taught by this. Warrenton Gazette : Mr. Wal ter Plnmmer killed a pig the other day, aged ten months, which weighed after be ing dressed 303 Iponnds. It was a Berk shire and was fed mostly on cooked food. John Flemming has 16 pigs, now just one year old, all of the same litter, that will make him 3,600 pounds of meat Can any one beat that. Corn has advanced' fifty cents per bushel since the freshet. . The young people of this place have or ganized a Reading Club. It consists of twenty four members, and promises to be a great success. The railroads are re ceiving no freights as yet or north ern markets. We hear of a good many of our farmers losing their hogs of lateby the uneducated. A cou ple were joined together, in the bonds of matrimony a few days . since, and we understand that tbe bride smiled most gracefully, and said: "This is the way I long have sought." -Some strange tales are told about the recent freshet .'

F. McLaughlin. Miss An nie Vogel, daughter of John Vogel, Esq., of this city, has been for some time past at school in Richmond, Va. She is gifted with musical talents of a very high order sO hicrh. indeed, that she was solicited to bear apart in a recent musieale given by the Mozart Club, the leading musical society in that city. The German Harmonie Club, which has been the source of so much pleasure to many of our German citi zens, held a meeting night before last and decided to suspend for the present at least. - News from Mr. Samuel Hecheimer, the last of the sufferers by the recent acci dent on the C, C. & A.;IL .R., represent him to be in an improved condition, and it is hoped that the amputation of his injured limb will npt now be necessary, -r On Friday morning, about 8 o'clock,Ja colored man named John Campbell, and a colored woman, Harriet Reid, living in Gaston, were crossing the Catawba river near Gen. W. H. Neilrs mill, in this county, in a small batteau or skiff, when by some accident the boat capsized and both were drowned. This time it is not a cotton factory that they say Charlotte needs, but a number of small factories of various kinds, so as to diversify the manufacturing interests. Not a bad idea. Messrs. E. C. Grier & Son have all tbe. machinery of their cotton factory in place and expect to begin work about the 1st of C.V WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 12. 1877. January., The "Clement attachment" will be Used in this factory, and it will have 268 spindles with a capacity of 150 lbs of cotton yam per day.

Mitchell & Son, the first cargo of new corn for the . season by sail. . Rising, followed by falling ba rometer, variable winds, warmer and gen erally clear weather, are the indications for this section to-day. There was literally nothing do ing in magisterial circles yesterday, if we may except one case of a trivial character tried by Justice Wagner.' The receipts of cotton at this port yesterday amounted to 1,193 bales, the sales, as reported, to 168 bales, and the exports (coastwise) to 1,475 bales. The latest remedy for rheuma tism is for the sufferer to carry a small bag. of brimstone in each of his pantaloons' pockets. We learn that Judge Moore says it is a sure cure, for he has tried it Rev. E. A. Yates, who is to serve the congregation of the Front Street M. E. Chureh during the present confer ence year, was in the city yesterday, on his return from Fayetteville, where he has been on a brief visit. He goes hence to Newbern, and will return to assume bis pastoral duties after Christmas. Rev. J, K. nana. At the session of the North Carolina Con ference of the M. E. Church, South, just closed, this faithful minister, who for tbe last three years has been the pastor of the Front Street Methodist Church of this city, was made Presiding Elder of tbe Washing ton District, a position next in point of re sponsibility to that ot Bishop. Although we rejoice to see this popular divine rising in this large and influential body, yet our citizens generally regret to lose from their midst one whom the people have learned to love. By his kindness, urbanity, faithful ness and firmness in Christian principle, he has won the esteem of all denominations, and he will carry with him to his new field of labor their best wishes for his future pros perlty and usefulness. ; Maaonle Election. ; At the regular meeting of Wilmington Council No. 4, R. and S.

W Toe Proposed Canal from the RlTer lothe SooDdi, &e, ''" ' ', Mr. Arthur C , Smith, formerly of this city, but now of Fayetteville, in a letter to the editor of this paper, expresses his grati fication at the prospect of a cana! being cut from the Cape. Fear, river to the i Soun something he is of the opinion should have been done "many 'years ago. Alluding to the article he has seen "copied ; from the Stab, in reference to the opening of .books of subscription, and the absence of any in formation as to the exact starting point on the river, he says: "I have often thought it strange that the citizens of Wilmington ne ver should see how easy and convenient, and profitable it would be to cut a canal from Barnard's Creek (five miles below Wilming ton, on the river) across to Whiskey Creek on the SoUnd. From the mouth of : Bar nard's Creek (at the river) to the old mill dam it is about 600 yards, and from the mill dam up the channel, for 1,000 yards or more to the fork of the rati of the creek, the run is generally eight to ten feet deep at low water, and fifty to sixty feet wide. . From the fork of the creek up the eastern prong, in the direction of the Sound, the run is much narrower and shallower, : but low,', level land for three quarters of a mile, when it beads into branches, and one branch runs from the back of where old Mr. Henry Martindale used to reside, and where bis son now-lives. - By cutting up said branch and across to the bead of Whis key Creek it would not cost mnch to cut the canal." j '-.:- Mr. S. formerly owned Barnard's Creek and is perfectly familiar with the surround ings, and be has often thought that to be the easiest route to connect the Cape Fear River and the Sound. "The water from the mill dam to the river is shallow, but af ter entering the old mill pond the run is wide and deep for one thousand yards and easy to be cut wide and deep for another twelve hundred yards. From the river up the creek, say eastward in tbe direction of the Sound, it would cost but little to make it navigable j for say two thousand eight hundred yards. From the bead of Barnard's Creek to the head of Whiskey Creek, if I mistake not,' it is not more than one and a half mile, and from the head of Whiskey Creek not more than one mile to the Sound. It may be a little further, but not much." If this is not the route decided upon, our correspondent thinks it would be well to give the Barnard's Creek; route some thought have it surveyed and see which is best. By all means, he says, a canal ought to be cut from some point on the river to the Sound. Tbe Courts. Under the new law, which goes into effect after the first Thursday in August next, the first session of the Superior Court for New Hanover county will convene in this city on the first Monday in December, 1878, at" which time tbe regular term of the Criminal Court will also begin, conse quently both the Superior and, Criminal Courts will be in session at the same time. In the June following the same will be the case, though; the Legislature will meet in tbe meantime and may make some ar rangement to remedy the difficulty . It has been suggested by one of our legal friends that tbe U. S. Court room could be used by one of tbe tribunals. RIVER AND 0IARINB ITEMS. The schr. Jos. G.
