Unique and Graceful. We were the
recipieniof a very graceful treat of fried
oysters at the hands of Mr. John Detrick
of the Atlantic harden. They were sent
in one of the wooden dishes of Capt.
Gray's manufacture, which are the neat
est and most convenient dishes (or sending
out lunches and oyster Snacks. Mr.
Detrick has bought a lot of these wooden
dishes for the purpose of serving his
customers at th'eir homes throughout
the city.
Owing to the extensive preparation
making for the entertainment of the im
mense crowd to be at the Torktown cele
bration , Mr. Detrick's order for Norfolk
oysters could not be filled, but he has

Swift Creek. We shall press upon
our Senators and Representatives in
Congress the importance of improving
the navigation ot Swift Creek, and urge
an appropriation for that purpose.
We believe that steam transportation
on Swift Creek would add largely to the
business of New Berne, and tend to build
up a very considerable town at Vance
boro, and (that a steamer : on the Swift
would pay handsomely, Ve have not the
slighest doubt.
The trade which already reaches us
from Vanceboro is very considerable,
and with better transportation i facilities
itlwou'ld double and quadruple, for the
busines would reach put from the head
of "navigation in proportion to the growth
and development of business at that
point, and the facilities afforded for

The Shipwrrcked and Suffering
SAiLORs.--Surgeon Bates, of the Marine
Hospital Service, who was on Sunday
night ordered to Life-Saving Station No.
18, to relieve wounded and suffering
sailors, reiu'rned yesterday on the revenue
8 1 earner Stevens, Lieut. Roatb, com
manding, and furnishes us the following
interesting informatio'n :
We left New Berne, with the - revenue
cutter Stevens at 2 a. m. on Monday the
10th instj and arrived at Life-Saving
Station No. 18 at Chicamicomico, dis
tant one hundred and twenty miles' at 7
p. m. Found second mate E. C. Folger
with broken thigh bone;" Mrs. Hunters
wife of the lost Captain of the three
masted !eho6nef Thomas J. Lancaster
wrecked on the 6th instant, suffering
wth bruises and contusions of body and
limbs ; and the keeper of the station
with a sprain of back, and contusions of
body and limbs, very badly if not fatally
injured". All were properly cared for.
We learn that the loss of the schooner
was a piece of gross carelessness on the
part of the first mate, who had charge
of her at! the time she went asliore.
There was no wind to speak of nor heavy
sea at the time, she struck, but in a short
time' a heavy storm arose, and there was
no chance left to geHier off. .
! There were on, board the Captain and
wife, three childrenv all girls, aged re
spectifely 3, 5 and 11 years ; eight of
the crewj The lost were: the Captain
and three children' and first mate, cook
and two sailors.
Mrs. Hunter, the Captain's wife, was'
in the rigging twenty-four hours before
being taken off, and the youngest child
was found tied to the rigging by its feet,
and head downwards. It is supposed
the captain lost his life id trying to save
the two oldest children after tying his

wile and youngest child to the rigging,
they having been washed overboard ah d
he going for jthem,wa9 lost with them.
The whole of them, it is said, might
have been saved had they staid by the
vessel, but three of the eailoas jumped
aver and swaim ashore, four others fol
lowed suit and were drowned, leaving n
bine but the second mate to haul the lin
aboard, thrown from thelshore to the ves
seli which he was unable to do.. The
lost bodies were all recovered ahd burieji
there. I offered to bring them to New
I "I
Berne, but they preferred to remain there
as they expected a steamer from Norfol c
wijh the owners of the vessel for them,
yesterday or to-day.

JOHNSTON BOUNTY TRADE AND THE
Midland Road. We publish elsewhere
a fetter from" one of the leading mer
chants of Smithfield; which is of interest
to the merchants of New Berne. He
states that the business men of that sec
tion of the State feel a peculiar interest
in the extension of the Midland Road,
as affording them the opportunity for
buying goodjs in this instead of the Vir
ginia rii ark efjs.
If these up country merchants feel so
much interest in a line to enable them
to get to us, how much more interest
shouU the frjerchants of New Berne feel
in the road and in having these up coun
try purchasers come into our market?
, We have time and again suggested to
the wholesale trade of New Berne the
-- i ' . i
propriety, ancf we may say duty, of send
ing their young men into Johnston
county to restore to New Berne a, trade
that formerly floated to her down the
Neuse River in steamboats and flats, and
hauled on wagons. That trade evi
dently wantp to come here, and in ad
vance of the progress of tbe Midladd
Road, which
will reach Smithfield this
ought to be in the county
summer, we
for the trade (hat Gfoldsboro may fancy
belongs to her.
In this connection we will, for the
gratification
of our merchant corres
Smithfield'; betray a- little
pondent at
secret. It is this : A gentleman in New
Berne has ajwarehouse full of hogsheads
of molasses; of direct importation, but
whether he desires to dispose of it or no
cannot say.
