We took occasion, last veek;' to: give some account of Carolina arid Morehead Cities, with a promise tliat we would this week pay diir respects to Newbern. - On our way to the ; Ocean,; we stopped at Newbern for a few dafs, tand were so weir pleased with, the place that we de termined on our return to tarry longer, and enjoy, for a season, the good things of this most pleasant and delightful town. Heretofore, Newbern, although one of the largest and most impbrtant towns of the State, and some years ago a place of considerable interest in a commercial point of view, has been, comparatively speaking, but little known to our up- country people ; for, until within the last few months, so far as time and the labor of traveling is considered, Newbern was more remote and farther removed from us, than was the City of New York. But, thanks to the liberality of the State, and to the enterprise and patriotism of a few energetic men, Newbern has now been brought almost to our door, and our citizens now think no more of visiting the sea coast, a distance of some 250 miles, than they formerly did of visiting a neighbor only a few miles distant. Passengers can now take the cars at Morehead City, in full view of the Ocean, at sun rise, breakfast at Newbern, dine at Goldsboro', where they rest for two hours, and land in Greensboro' about dark. These are things of which our forefathers never dreamed. Many of our citizens have availed themselves, during the past summer, of these in creased facilities for traveling, and we have not; as yet, met with one who Was not delighted with his visit, felt himself well repaid for his time arid trouble; and who did not express himself in terms of the highest praise of Newbern, being charmed arid delighted with the beauty and pleasantness of the town, and with the intelligence and hospitality of her citizens. Induced by the representa tions and glowing descriptions of others, we determined for ourselves to make a little voyage of exploration, and having done so, we are constrained to confirm, as true, all that was said bv those who s went before us. Those who delight on ly in the grand, the majestic and terri ble, need not stop at Newbern, but must proceed on to the Ocean, for here, all is peaceful and quiet, presenting more the appearance of a flower garden or a beautiful landscape, well planted with trees, and to those who have just return ed from Beaufort, who have stood upon the coast, listened to the wild scream of the sea-bird, and looked upon the Ocean in all its terrible grandeur, nothing can present a more pleasant or delightful contrast. Newbern is styled the Athens of North Carolina, and deservedly is she entitled to the name ; for, although North Carolina can boast of many dis tinguished sons, who were born and lived rnany hundreds of miles from Newbern and who, perhaps never saw the place, j yet we presume there is no town in the i State Where so many great and learned J men have beeri born,, have lived, and I Whose remains are now slumbering be- j neath the sod in the town of their hjirth. I While walking over town with a friend, who pointed out to us many places of in- j terest, and gave us an account of some ! very interesting incidents connected with j them, we lelt indeed that we were on classic ground. It was here that the great and distinguished William Gaston, the profound Jurist, Chief Justice Tay lor, and the immortal John Stanly lived ; and, after long and useful lives, after' many years spent in the service of their country, and after conferring much hon or, and throwing a halo of gldry around North Carolina; they all rest beneath the sod of their native State; and two of them side by side hi the cemetery of Newbern. Newbern, also, has the hon or of giving birth to the HonV George E. Badger,, and to the Rev: Dr. Hawks. The old house where ,Dr: Hawks jvvas born is still standing; arid was pointed but to -us.; ...The" house is quite smallj one story high, with dormant windows, paint- enured, and looked , very . numoie, amia the more stately edifices with which it is surrounded. We do not know wheth- er this property still remains in i the Hawks' family, or whether it has passed A. .a into i other hands. - , We snould t runic, however,;if it could be had, it should be owned by the town, and held iri remem berance of the greatest living orator of the age, and of one who is doing more than any man living to defend the right an&i maintain the honor , of his : native .StatitVr v ;Vv-, ::;""rs.'' "-,V.; ' ...v i -!: i ''DurinHheast-'eVeriirii- of bur. stayj in company, with Slri Whiw ident bf th I Atiahtid rRbi ''yH we are under many obligations for His kind attentions and courtesy wb tbbk a stroll throuffhf the cemetery: It is , a I beautiful place; -arid we understand hatj mm IS KING.' much of its beauty and interest is due to the taste and public spirit of Mr. Whitford, and, indeed, we were very for tunate in having him as a companion in our visit to the cemetery, as he appeared so familiar with every spot, pointed out many things of interest which otherwise would have escaped us, and detailed many interesting incidents connectedvvith the distinguished dead, above whose ashes we were then walking. The cem etery is surrounded with a very pretty wall of shell rock. We had never before seen any of this rock ; it is formed en tirely of shells, and the wall around the cemetery is composed of blocks about four feet long and one foot square : it db'es not admit of a fine polish, like bur granite, but it is said to be very durable, and is quite pretty,, presenting somewhat of a Gothic aDoearance. The jratewav i i o , J of the cemetery is constructed of the same materials; it is a high arch, having three entrances, the largest in the cen tre ; from the arch overhead there is a constant dripping this is owing to the nature of the rock, and is called its weeping. While the gay and thought less world, in its giddy whirl of pleasure and business, sweeps along the streets thinking only of the present, and forget ful of the past and the dead, there stands that lofty gateway, constantly weeping, as it were, for the departed spirits whose bodies have passed beneath its arches, no more . to return, and for the thought less multitude who must soon follow. Near the entrance is the. burying ground of the Stanly's; there lies the body of the lamented John Stanly, than whom North Carolina never produced a great er man'. A little farther driis ihe bury irig ground of the Badger family and close by stands a large but not by any means ornamental block of marble, bear ing the inscription, "William Gaston." The cemetery contains many very hand some monuments, and the inscriptions upon some of them are very beautiful, thougli .as is the case, in all old grave yards, thb,style of others is rather quaint, and calculated tB raise a smile. Many of the inscriptions were in poetry, and were written by Stephen Chester, Esq., formerly of Newbern, but now a citizen of New York. We . saw several poetic inscriptions written by Mr; Chester, which we thought were really fine; and the following inscribed upon the tomb of his friend, Captain William Harker, we took the liberty of transcribing, with a view of publishing it. Capt. Harker, it seems, after bearing the perils of the sea, died upon the shore : The form that fills this stilly grave, Once tossed on Ocean's roaring wave, Plung'd through its storm without dismay, And careless welter'd in its spray; Wreck, famine, exile, scatheless bore, Yet perished on this peaceful shore. No tempest whelm'd him 'neath the surge, No wailing sea-bird screamed his dirge ; But fever's silent, hidden flame Consum'd, by stealth, his hardy frame, - And softly," as on infant's breath, He sank into the arms of death. The weather-beaten bark no more hangs . Shivering on the leeward shore, Hut waft'd by a favoring wind, ! Life's stormy sea has left behind, And into port securely past, Hath dropp'd its anchor there at last, . " ' G-reemsboro PalricU Sam' Brevoort Sitting on a Yellow Jack Subject. While Sam Brevoort, of the Police Department, was down to Quarantine the other day, he stole a few moments from his arduous labors as Commissary to take a walk over the Quarantine grounds. After looking a mong the tents and new buildings erect ed, he seated hinlself on a large, rough hnv nndfir the shade of a tree, and was quietly reflecting upon the unpoetio character of j camp life, and the utter want of exalted sentiment irt the em ployment of furnishing beef bacon, beans, potatoes,, bread - and butter for sixty policemen. But his reverie was interrupted by hearing a voice, andlook-ino- about, he discovered one of the hos pital employees addressing him, and the dialogue proceeded as follows: ' Hullo, there, you sojer man, said the employ6e.

EDITORS AND; PROPRIETORS. Xnteresling Chapter ou Snakes. A correspondent writing to the . Rich mond Examiner, from: Healing Springs; Va., furnishes the following interesting sketch of a 4 snake charmer's ' exploits in that section : ! Among the wonders I have seen in this: land of mineral wealth and water, sojourning in search of healthy happiness and other curiosities, I Witnessed yester dayr and to-day one that almost passes comprehension and belief. A man ar rived here a few days vlso, on ?i tour inrougn tne mountains, taking with him about a dozen snakes, consisting of the California Rattlesnake, the Virginia Rat tlesnake, and the Virginia Copperhead- all iriixed together in one box, as amia ble as if they were of the same species of family. The gentleman's name is G.F. Wirsen, arid, if I am rigBtly iriform ed, a Swede by birth, and by profession is now. a snake charmer. To prove that there is nb humbug or imposture in ihis affair, he took from a box after some explanatory remarks, a whole dozen of snakes kept together in one compartment, under a glass cover, with a moveable wooden shutter above. These snakes, as I have said, are of three varieties the Rattlesnakes of Vir-, ginia and California, and our most ven emoiis Copperhead. He took them out one by one with his naked hands, and put them in a pile on the floor, whence they attempted to scatter in various di rections, but was restrained by his; hand being waived at their heads. He then took ;them up and doubled them in all sorts j of. ways putting them around his head; face and neck, and finally cram ming the whole creeping, crawling mass into , his bosorji next his skin. In all this they j showed hot the slightest offence, riot e'veri rattling; but; oh tEe fcontrary, seemed well pleased vyith the liberties he took with their snakely persons, and tes tified their satisfaction by. poking their heads about his nose, eyes and mouth, in the most affectionate manner; After this; astonishing demonstration, he piled them again upon the floor, and stirted therri about, and tangled them up like so many handkerchiefs, and not a hiss, or rattle, or blow, showed any displeasure at his conduct. Then, to shoW that no juggling or im position was put tipon us, he took-sever-al of the largest bf each kind, and open ing their mouths; protrudirig their fangs and; sack of venom; carried them arolind the room and exhibited these dangerous qualities as closely as1 his audience would permit; but plenty close for all to see that they were not the harmless creatures they Seemed to be at a distance'. He also offered ..to cause them t strike and kill any little animal the spectators might present; but this; was rendered unnecessary by several j of the gentle men declaring they had seen it done at the . Sweet Springs and other places Moreover, he then took a box containing a perfectly w ild Rattlesnake, of the Vir ginia species, caught m these mountains, and'seld to him by a negro at this place not twelve hours before, and emptied the savage creature, rattling and coiling, on the floor, and striking at everything pre sented to it in the most furious style. Having ordered some music to be play-ed-4-which he says is the first and not least irriportant step to be taken, in sub duing its savage temper to take time, as he said, he kept up his dalliance by walk ing!1 around it, and presented his foot, w hich it struck, on the shoe, with a right good will, keeping up its rattling mean while, till oiir flesh fairly creeped on otir bones. At last, growing impatient wait ing for the music, he seized a chance and caught the snake by the tail, about one! quarter its length frorh the, extremi ty,! and began to whistle in a low tone, the snake doing its best to bite all the time, which he prevented by great dex terity, until he caught its eye, and fixed upon it the most intense gaze I ever saw ; this he continued for about half a minute; when his' whole countenance broke into a smile for he "saw by some mysterious sign (which he says has nev er, failed), that he had. conquered, and the snake was charmed This he prov ed hy immediately folding it jn; his bos om and. around his neck, which it em braced most lovingly ! , By this all skep ticism was removed Irom his audience, and they, greeted ? his . success ; with a WiMTirl nf nnnlaiisel ' . . - f? j Having set out ,td relate this affair in the simplicity of truth, I will now, close hvltclliriir the whole truth: - Mr. Wirsen has at last been bitten. The accident occurred in this wise : he, yesterday, af ter" his exhibition, enrrasred to charm an finormous Vireihia Rattlesnakebelong ing to a young man in ,the ! hotel per fectly wild and vicious.
