Attest : laws to the contrary notwithstanding. Passed the House of representatives! . bances. It is alleged that under the Mormon statute for summoning jurors, it is im possible for the United States Court to obtain an impartial jury, and that crim inal trials in that Court are mere farces. Under an Act of Congress, the man ner ol summoning juries in the Federal Courts must conform to the local laws. In North Carolina, Federal juiies are picked by the Marshal, instead of being chosen by lot, as our State laws require, ! Hence it is we have irequently charged that the Federal juries which have been summoned 'in this State contrary to the mode of summoniug in our own Courts, i9 in direct violation oi the Act i4 Con gress on the subject, and juries picked by the United States-Marshal for North Carolina were illegally chosen. If trouble should ensue in Utah, one of the chief causes will be on account of the action of the Utah Legislature, in passing a law providing idr the sum moning juries in such a manner as to protect the Mormons from criminal pro secutions in the Federal Courts.

M., almost benumbed, for the weather was excessively cold. The Messrs. Cobb, the proprietors of the Hotel, had a good blazincr fire in their office room, which with a slight adjuvant in a liquid form soon warmed the inner as well as the outer man, and we en tered into an agreeable conversation about the Island, etc. The entire Island is the property of the Messrs.

SPORTING ON COBB'S ISLAND.. AN INTERESTING LETTER, We surrender a portion of our edi torial space to day to an interesting letter from a highly worthy farmer of Granville, Capt. Charles R. Lewis. Capt, Lewis is famous as one of the best bird and turkey sportsmen in this part of the State. Mr. John W. Lewis, of New York, a kinsman of Capt. Charle3 R. Lewis, was one of the three referred to in Mr. Lewis" letter. Many 3 cars ago he left Grauville county to seek his fortune in a wider field of enterprise. He settled in New York, and by dint of close attention to busi ness Ivas amassed a large fortune. He is now about sixty years of age, and is a retired merchant. Mr. Lewis was a clothing tnerchant, and before the war, was associated in that business with the Messrs. Garrett, of Edgecombe, on War ren street, New York. The house of Lewis, Garrett & Co., teceived a large amount of patronage from our North Carolina merchants. ,1)11 (ho rlonn n ( .1. T - UaiUoad., in Charlotte, will soon com. RETURN OF OAKES AMES. The public is anticipating more start ling developments,now that Oakes Ames has returned to Washington City after 1 brief visit to his home in Massa chusetts. Ames went in search of his memoran dum book, to refresh his memory in regard to the Credit Mobilier transac tions, and the Poland Committee ol investigation has been, comparatively idle during his absence. The Washington Star, relernng to Ames' return, says : "It has been confidently predicted that O.ikea Ames would not be forthcoming with that memoiandum book during this session, luit would manage to be snowed up on the way until the fourth of March, and the expiration of-his term and of the present Congress. But Oaks is as inevitable as death, and he is here promptly at the end of his ten days' absence ; and, what is yet moie to the purpose, he certainly brings with him that Pandora's box of mischief, that fatal memorandum book. Rumor has it, too, that he comes back with memory wonderfully refreshed and invigorated by a perusal of the mystic pages of that manuscript volume. He also, in rummaging around amongst his loose papers at North Easton, has found some supplementary aids .to memory in the shape of letters and receipts from parties for whom he held Credit Mobil ier stock as trustee, and altogether, it 13 probable that never before was such a portentious miss of 200 pounds avoir dupois dumped into Washington as Mr. Oaks Ames, with his memorandum book and "accompanying documents." seemed reallv incredible at hrst blush yet we do not doubt their accuracy, But I fear my letter is getting tediously long, and I will proceed to say something ubout duck hunting, as that is one oi" my chief reasons for send ing you this communication. The first day" after landing, we had to stay in doors on account of the snow storm. The second clay after our arrival was sufficiently pleasant, and accordingly, with three guides, one large boat and three small ones, we started for the ducking grounds," dbout three miles from the island. The large boats towed the small boats to the blinds, which are skillfully made on the sand bars by cedar brush while the tide is down. The brush is stuck in the sand some eig"ht or ten feet square so as to admit two small boats inside. The blinds of course have to be approached by the large boats while the tide is up. The guides place decoys near the blinds which attract the ducks pass ing in sight of them. When the ducks approach you have an opportunity to try jour skill on the wing. If you kill one the guide goes out after it, while you load your gun to await another opportunty. When the wind and tide are favorable they come to the decoy faster than you can shoot. They some times come in flocks ot 500 and even more. One of the gaides said he had known as many as fifty killed at one round. Those that come in very large flocks are called Brant, a beautiful spe cimen of duck, something larger than muscovy ducks that we raise in our yards, yet not quite so large as our geese. We were not fortunate in hav ing a large flock to come to our Mind. The largest number that came near our blind amounted to seven, and we Having just completed our new Brick , - - - Warehouse and Wharf, we are prepared to handle ' Cotton Corn, Rice, Peas, Oats, &c,,&c. with' a great advantage.
