Editor i The ' old proverb, "procrastination is the destroyer of time," is my only excuse for not writ ing more frequently. Indeed, it seems that the less one has to do, the less n is Inclined to do it. Here Iam,n ' "innocent abroad," endeavoring to learn, from general observation, the , leading characteristics of this great peo ple. There Is scarcely any nation in thaxmriii which lias excited so much curiosity and admiration among us of ntoa thP i ipnnans : inera is noue of our Intimate knowledge They are fast becoming the people of America. Thousands Jana upon our shores annually. The habits of their mother country -are to a great extent retained in that of their adoption. Thm it u not onlv desirable bufneces- sarv that we should know something r y,o. TY-innnori nnd customs of the Ger J A IIIO ra ot hnmp. In a" former letter L snoke of them crenerally : in this I pur pose to particularize. ; - -i r it. hA true that there can bo no real .friendship-between people who have nnvrr oitpn nnd drank together, the laws and customs of meals are of great smTvtflnrv. i in nnthinsr is a man so cpvprlv lutljred as in his behavior at meals and In his mode of conducting them in his own -house, and in these matters the uerman nas ius pvcuuuri- Hps. " ! - . . -, - Th fnmilv meetln the dininr room at, say, eight o'clock, for what may be called a very liberal "breakfast." Meine Frau, sits at the table with ner china and steaming tea-kettle or coffee ivrtt i,fnr hr. She eives to each per- 11 tun of tea or coffee, at fhoirfi : and 1 this, w ith a single sand wich, must eontent the keenest appe tite till midday. All Is over in a very few minutes: and I can assure you it is a terrjble discomfiture, on the first morning of trial, for one. who has been nmistompd toa hearty breakfast such as a juicy steak or ham and eggs. But mucJiTinay be said in favor of this light meal, for wnen reconcneu io n uy usu, nnd mind are in abetter condi tion for hard work during the most im- rortant hours of the day, than wnen overburdenetl by a neavy DreaKiabt. AHer this slender meal the gentlemen! Hirht up cigars and go to business. Thel tiAT-t fiimiK mcctinsr is ireneraiiy at - 'T- K O - - tn-plvA for lunch. Meine Frau. her chi nn nnl kettles, are there as before, but this time there is a more plentiful sup nlv of bread and butter, and perhaps wines are also on the table. The meal scarcely differs from the earlier one, except that there is a greater quantity iten. men comestuie ini'vaauii; vi rrir nnd ipnaration. These little snacks; merely whets to the appetite lead up according to the principles of, DeQuIncey to dinner, the PTPfit nrcDonderincr meal. During one nnlf nfthft dnv it is imoossible to be nnoon.scioua that vou have not dinetl, - and during the other half not to be conscious that you have such are the facts appetite and repletion. Xow to dpsptihfi the dinner: Supposed the jmests seated: there is one preliminary which seems odd to us who are accus tomed to hearincr tlie srrace before meet of iTkk minister or of the - head of the fhmiK- I refer to the- manner of knocking together each others wine classes and nt the same time saying "prasit." Wine is always drank Tor dinner. Yoii must hold your glass by ' the small p:i t in order to make it gin i gle loudly. Singular as thecustom ap pears it is one which cannot be departed from without one's making himself the subject of unpleasant remarks. On with the dinner. Of course the first dish is soup ox-tail, a let jardhicere, &c. Fish, i flesh and occasionally foul are the 'staples. Four or five varieties of vege i tables are served. There are invariably two courses of solid meat, and the changes are 'rung upon beef, ham and mutton. In the province of Pommera nia, they eat geese, which are looked upon as a great luxury. The amenities of the table and its customs have their slight iHx uliarities. The piece tie i Mure and other dishes are i-arveil by 1 the hostess Into slices upon a plate I which is passed from guest toguest who I help themselves according to fancy. I One little custom prevails in helping a neighbor to wine you must be careful to pour a few drops into your own glass Mist. Whether this be simply to give : himself the benefit of. any particles of cork or dust upon the top, or be actually i the remains bi" the ancient custom of 1 tasting to deny the presence of.poison in the cups, the thing is always done with each bottle; .and even with de canted wine.! The Germans have solved thegreateating-with-the-knifequestion , in a verv effectual manner, by doing ; away with tho temptation. The diner in Germany Is expected to cut up his eatables all at once upon his plate when he deposits his knife upbrt a holder by his side and proceeds to rat away with the fork alone held in tho right hand. Immediately after dinner the cigar box U taken round, and no lady dreams of objecting, nor is even consent asked. After a little time tea is taken, when the gentlemen lounge off to business. The amusements and occupation of an evening at home In a family in easy circumstances which Is the sort of family whose daily life 1 am endeavor ing to describe, are very, nearly the same in all parts of the world and these people are no exception. All whose circumstances permit, have beautiful little cottages in the country, to which they resort during the sum mer months, but these country houses may be regard ed only as retreats for mothers, grown-up daughters and the younger children. The elder children go to school,! the young men to town, nnd the paterfamilias goes backwards and forwards to his country house and place of business. So that except on Suuday's ladies in the country gener ally have the greater part of the time to themselves. Their mornings are devoted to household matters, after noons to driving, making calls and walking. As gentlemen ride on horse back very little, the only resource left them for amusement is the billiard room. One j means of passing time never fails tobacco. The German with his long pipe is a thing of the past, but -it would be strange to see one at any hour of the day without a cigar. Young and old smoke incessantly. Thus while they have not the athletic sports of r America, they can seat themselves and calmly enjoy their beerana evcnasimg cigar. t . ' Good gardening is me same in an mnntie?. but the carden hero is kept In order like a market gardener's with a view to produce solely. Carrats, tur nips, onions and all tho essential escu lents are raised in bountiful profusion, for the German is a great vegetarian. As I said In my last letter, Sunday is the great day in this country. Then thA voun" people make excursions out of town l "fori the day-which together with dinner parties and flirting help to render the day very agreeable but nnVall in love here in the customary manner, and the lover maketf l his offer wltnout any luiwiuwiaij- uoi sistance.

They then passed some fan cy resolutions copied from Tlie News, in rptrard to returning thanks to our nnrtv for nominating the very man Iimt mnt fenr Gov. Caldwell. That will do for Buncombe, at this late hour, when thev know his victory is certain. Similar resolutions would have been adopted, had any other gentleman been nominated.

The Republicans of Carteret county deem At meet and proper that they should fgive an emphatic approval to the deliberations of the General Repub lican Btate Convention which assem bled in Raleigh on the 17th inst. They have heard with liveliest feelings of joy (through their delegates) of the harmonious proceedings of that body the largest ever held in the State. They hail with delight-the fact that large numbers of the honest men of the State, who have heretofore acted with the Democratic party, have cast their des tinies with the great national party of progress, political equality and justice. From Uve signs of tho times, it requires no prophet to predict a signal and glo rious victory in August and November next, over the cohorts of the Ku Klux Democracy. But one purpose actuated the grand assembly at Raleigh the defence and vindication of the'princi-' pies of Republican liberty and political equality: and the nomination of Tod R.
