The Governor insisted that the people were law abiding, but were angered at the bad character of the Radicals appointed to make arrests. Collector Brayton. on - the other hand, asserted that his force was i as reputable and hdnest as were the same class of state officers. .During -the 'interview no progress was made toward a better understanding between federal and state authorities. Sub sequently, Collector Brayton wrote a long . letter to thc; Governor, closing , with a proposition that Hampton should aiominatc to the Collector; five men to act as a special force for the Suppres sion of the illicit traffic in whiskey and tobacco rn the disturbed region, prom ising to give them a fair ppprtunity 'to) how their superior efficiency.

THE DUPLIN CANAL. 7 In all the early, time previous to the construction of railroads, Wilmington never seems to have devised any ave nues' leading to the rich back-lands, excepting the ordinary country road and the- natural water courses, It. is true that the Cape Fear and its ' tribu taries formed great natural arteries through Which products reached the town, and that there. were such smaller water courses as the North East, .Town, Creek, Sholotte and Little River, but up to thej introduction of railroads no canal had been cut, no turnpike had been made, and "from the, rich lands' of Onslow with its 'oyster beds, the broad plains of Duplin and Sampson, and the iproductive regions of the Waccamaw and Columbus, products either sought the nearest lauding for flats or waded laboriously through the deep sands and miry swamps.to a market. And to this "uay.it costs-but little more to bring corn from Cincinnati or oysters from Nor- , folk than it does to get the same kind of articles the forty miles from Onslow. Wilmington does not seem to have ap preciated the-fact that improved . high- J ways diverging into the : surrounding j country are as necessary to tlie growth of a trading town as .are the great arteries of the human body tQ its growth. That sagabious ancestry of which Wil miugtonians boast, not without grounds, evidently had not learned how Rome became great by stretching her solid road-bed from the Tiber to Brundusium, and een beyond the Balkans to the mouths of the Danube, and over the Oppenines to the mouths of the Bo; and how- Carthage , became opulent by - .stretching gigantic lines of communica tion to the heart of Africa, within the shadoY' of the mountains of tbVMoon. f But it is never too late to learn, and several gentlemen, having ascertained that North East river could be short ened 113 miles, by cutting a canal from "Meggy's Island" to the mouth . of Goshen Creek, , and at I the same time draining about 70,000 acres of the finest lands-in America, and making tributary to the trade of Wilmington ." several hundred thousand more,1 they proceeded to procure a charter for the Duplin Canal Company .and to make a pie hminary survey. The examination was made chiefly by Mr. A R. Black, a' gentleman at home in matters of this sort. Perhaps his judgment as to the feasibility" of this canal, .would be ac cepted as readily by business , men as that of any man in this region. He has made a report on the subject which may be considered by some as a little sanguine as to results. -He anticipates that " a grtat tidal wave" of prosperity will roll in upon Duplin when this canal is complete!, and ,that a great benefit will come t Wilmington. Biit he supports his assertions by facts and figures regarding the feasibility of cut ting the canal, the value of the land to be reclaimed by draiijiiug.thc timbers of various kinds which jmay be brought to this market, aDd the'saving in trans portation from the. adjacent, region. It .is estimated after close observation that hc 31 miles of canal to! be cut. between the mouth of Peggy h Island and fcroshen will have a fall of 21 feet. Irhe North East river iilo be used from the former place t4 Wilmington, a dU tanco of about 48 miles of water navigable for steamers.! ) There can be no doubt that this en terprise ought to commend itself to the business interests of Lthi's city and D:iplin and Pender. From the prompt ness with which the people of Duplin pledged themselves to! aid in ivS coj struction,; and from the "character of the' gentlenfen who are giving cr;.-j:d eration to the subject in, this city, it would appear that! this! important of transportation will fwithiii ;i time' be . pu h'edto-completion.. line hort ANOTHER SHIP WRECK ON Til S NORTII C AltOLINA COAiST. On the 29th off January the .steam ship Metropolis, 878 tons," leftf . Phila delphia for Para, Brazil, loaded with railroad iron and supplies for a railroad in . Brazil, and having on board 218 passengers. As she proceeded from the Capes of the Delaware; she encountered heavy gales, sprung a leak whiclFwas beyond control and wa3 finally beached near the Currituck Light House, about 20 or 30 miles from the scene of the disaster to the Huron. Nearly a hun dred lives were lost. The yessel struck at 0:45 P. M., on the 31st, and went to pieces under the. effects of thp gale at 5 P. M. of the next day. It is stated that no aid was received ; from the' Life Saving service. ' t , V ' A statement is made that the steamer was unsea worthy. The Board of Underwriters does not fippear.to have had a-fgood opinion of the vessel, and are particu larly struck with the fact that she had her nairie changed front the Stars and Stripes to that of Metropolis witjiout the requisite act of Congress.' Thej Board has infor mation that she, was on the dock last month in New York, and then had her yellow metal taken. off. but after "the ! hull was caulked and painted the sheathing was not replaced. The Me tropolis underwent the government in spection in New York, The Captain, when he got his clearing papers in Philadelphia, '.exhibited a certificate signed by Assistant Inspector Craft, of the port of Newj York, certifying that she had been inspected and tested, and found to be entirely seaworthy, with a capacity of 250 , passengers, and life, saving apparatus for -that number. Mr. George D. Lunt, of Lunt Bratlw crs, denies the report that ti e Metropolis. was laden belowj the ;water-mark v.hcn she left Philadelphia.! Her. mean draft, he says, was 12 feet.j and1 she was en titled to draw 10 feet of water. Capt. Darling, of the Allantic Mutual In surance Company, who inspected the vessel immediately prior to her depar ture, found her jn good sea-going "con dition. She is recorded on the books of the company as - having undergone repairs early in January, when ner . metal was removed and her bottom caulked . She1 was also supplied with a new shaft and. painted. The wreck is not attribute tj any drawbacks in her condition, but solely to the terrific gale of Thursday evening. The Metropolis was built in Mystic, Conn,, , in 1861. She was rebuilt in. 1S7L In the Record of American mid Foreign Shipping she is marked A 1, with a star.' Until lately he vessel was engaged in the Bermuda trade, and made a great mauy success ful, voyages in extremely rough welather. A correspondent of the N. Y. Tanks writes : :;; j- j ; ," .' j ,' Your correspondent has spoken with several of the i survivors, all ofwhoin peak in the highest terms of the un daunted energy of Capt. Anker, and attribute the loss of the Metropolis to circumstances which no mortal power ;ould control. They also state that the vessel ?as in a 'sinking condition when she as run ashore, and" that that -was the only course by .which it wa hoped any lives could be saved: Thesurvivors are sadlv in need of clothincr. nianv ot them having barely escaped with their lives. The beach tor two miles is strewn with dead bodies, many of which are being temporarily buried," Ivghtof the fourteen raifr&qul ;tre neu are among those lost. t I V i We make the following extis.cis fVou) the Herald report of Sunday : DESTITUTION OF, THE SXVEi). It is beyond the power of description to picture the misery and wretchedness of the rescued, whose pitiable plight ia in nakedness and utter destitution can not be portrayed.5 They were' huddled together in. groups to keep warmth in their bodies. Numbers of theni were wounded and bruised, and all of them were hungry. The story of the wreck is one of horror. It speaks wifch no Un certain words, and it will cause a just and righteous indignation against those HUL uio -mercy vl lue ocean waves 250 lives in a vessel that was" ia every respect unseaworthy, that was" as rotten as punk, and that could well be likened to a death trap. Owners, con tractors and . United States inspectors are responsible, and they should be held to a strict account,- . ' ' NEW WORK Us CONGRESS. A like censure is due to the miserable apology of what is termed United States life saving stations. They have on these two memorable occasions of the Huron and Metropolis wrecks been proved utterly worthless. Seven men at each station, who have to patrol miles of .bcacli, with no appliances in the shape of horses or teams for transporting their .apparatus ! It is a crime unpardonable that cries aloud for redress. f T (possible to have used a surf boat. i As a seafaring man, and' one accus tomed to the E-urf, I can truthfully say that at no time during the day, up to 2 .o'clock, was It impossible or eyen extra hazardous for a surf boat to take off a line and establish communication-with the steamer and the shore. The lives of over one hundred men and two females maybe justly attributed to the culpable negligence and inefficiency of the life saving service. s Waiting in vain for help. : The scene tliatf followed beggars de rfcrjptio:j, though, strange to say, in that crowd of human beings not one that I could see had lost his presence of mind, ami no panic? occurred, as would natu rally Le expected from such a crowd in sujch immicerit danger. This was chiefly duo 'to the coolness and bravery o'i Cantai n Ankers and the first and second olliccrs of" the ship, Air. Dickman and Mr. Oez3ris. Maiiy of the passengers jumped overboard and struck for shore shortly after we bcachid, but the most of them stayed on board, expecting assistance from the United States life saving station, which did not, for want of facilities, Teach us until many hours after we were stranded, and when the crjew arrived they were not able to assist us. They nKide one attempt to throw a line to us, but it dropped wide of its m trk. r Another" . attempt was made which succeeded in throwing it across tlie inain yard. The men proceeded to drav it tothedeckjWhenthelineparted. I heard one or two other shots fired from the mortar, but no line came. At" this time the whole after' part of the ship with the mizzeamast was carried off and -nearly all oi the hurricane deck. IIaIU) TO UORltOW POWOEK. At halfrpast twelve the life saving crew arj ived'vv.ith no boat, and only two refunds 'of ammunition and one line. Tjlie -s-ccond shot the line crossed the fort' yard, but was afoul of the jibstay. I vt-iit aloft on the forcyard and got the line and payed it down to those on deck to haul in. : (hving to the stupidity of the crew oil shore the line was cutcff against the jib fctuy.. The ammunition of the lite s iving crew having been ex pended in these two ineffectual shots they Went to the house of Mj. O.

A pit I RXttE ON Dy CT Of f ASSENG E RSi The conduct Of the passengers at this time wasadmirable, - IJacn quietly obeyed any order given,- and all seemed intent upon securing the best means for the 'general safety. In a short time, however, the frequent breaks of the surf and accumulating evidences of the ship's speedy dissolution created a great degree of restlessness among the pas sengers, which Ivas soon, however, dis pelled by the calm and gallant bearinsr of Captain Ankers and thoss attached to the ship. 7 j Jt is gratifying to recount that anjid : all the scenes of woe and death -that all on board exhibited a heroism and coolness worthy of the highest adffljra tion. The captain behaved , with the greatest gallantry, and his conduct. was an example that eucourasred and cheer- ed tire passengers and crew;. '7: MAIL ROBBERIES.

A cnaoio? No. 6 Bowling Green, and when asked regarding the wrecked vessel said: 'The Metropolis was docked in this city in the last week of December, and examined by surveyors of several, if not all, of the marine insurance com-, paniesl On the 31st of December I re .quired of her owners that her propeller shaft should be uncoupled and with drawn that I could decide to what extent its oxidation had extended. On the morning of the 1st of January I visited her and condemned the shaft, the owners very- freely acquiescing in the decision, although it involved a serious expense and loss of time. Upon a survey of herhnli the surveyor of the Atlantic Mutual, Insurance Company, who has not a superior in his profession in any country, reqHired the metal from her. bottom to be removed and it to be recaulked, which was forthwith done.

Grant and His Travels Abroad. The incognito of Gen. Grant is cue that no one will, respect. He "declines all honors and attentions, so far as he can do so without rudenessand is especially indifferent to the parade and etiquette by which his journey is sur rounded. It is amusing, knowing Gen.. Grant's feelings on this subject, to read the articles in English and home papers about his; craving for precedence and his fear lest he may not have the proper seat at table and the highest number of guns. Gen. Grant has declined eveiy: attention of7an official -character thus far, except those whose non-acceptance would have been misconstrued. When he arrives at a port his habit is to go ashore with his wife and son, see .what is to be seen, and drift about from palace to picture gallery, like any other wandering, studious American doifig Europe. Sometimes the officials are too prompt for him; but generally, unless they call' by appoiutment, they find the General absent? This matter is almost too trivial to write about, kut there is no better business for a chronicler thlm to correct wrong" iuipressiohs before creating new' ones. Here, for instance, is an editorial article from an American newspaper which has drifted into our wardroOift oyer these Mediterranean seas. The j journal is a responsible newspaper, with a wide circulation. Jt infpfms us that General; Grant travels with a princely, retinue; that he is en abled to do so because the men who fattened on the corruptions of his ad ministration gave him a share of their plunder. He went to the Hotel Bristol in Paris. He took the Prince of Wales' apartments. He never asks the cost of his rooms at hotels, but throws money about wiih a lavish hand. These are the statements which one reads here in be a .. ii - j! yi . . s zen; je nas one servant aud a courier. He never was in the Prince of Wales' apartments n the Hotel Bristol in his life. ; His courier arranges for his hotel accommodationsas couriers always do, and the one who does this office for; the General takes pains to make as good bargains for his master as possible.
