It is proper for us to say. here, the letter nor any part of it was designed for publication, and what we have extracted was interwoven with family matters, aud by our request, as before stated, we are allowed to give to the public believing it would be interesting to many of our readers. Mr. Wliitford says: South Island, w here I live, is a strip ot land about live miles long and one wide, situated immediately at the entrance of Georgetown harbor on the sea coast and distant twelve miles from th; town of Georgetown. The Island is bound- ed on one side by Winyah Bay, on ; inorluir -- flirt Atlantirt ninn rn ( .,ntii.r in- thA month of tbp SniitPP . j - Uir-r. or,) tha not cirl hr I Mosquito Creek This creek is a 1 tide water stream, very crooked 1 and connects the waters of the 1 tnou.h of the Santce with those of Winyah Bay. The work I have charge of is known by the Govern ment as "Santee liiver Improve ment, which consists, at present, in cutting a tide Afnsnnito Creek water canal via , from Santeo to. ' Yinvah. We have a rotary dredge at work with a chain of twenty-two buckets. The machine will dig aud n remove eight hundred cubic yards ; of mud per day. 1 am required to , keen the water level in the canal correct and cross section every ten feet, both ahead and behind the dredge to ascertain how ranch she digs. Ues,ides, I have all the sur veys, estimates, etc ero. to attend to. I have been kept busy dav since I have been here. er- . is the heart of the great rice region ; . Ciitli Po r-rJ inn rV hrmfianrla thousands of bushels are raised yearly. This, also, is the country for rice birds, snipe and wild ducks. In the rice season many negroes are kept at nothing else but seating away the birds by out of old firing powder loads ... . f,, du, rpic. "!s0 r Twetly planter near here, paid over one thousand dollars for gun powder jandhireof men to scare the birds tiom his crop. These fellows down here consider it nothing to kill thirty mallard in I a half dav. Thev shoot them in the drainage canals in the rice i fields. Deer, turkey and squirrels are also plentiful; nothing smaller; than ducks js rarely hunted or killed here. j The only white people on Mouth1 Island are those engaged upon the Government work. They consist of Col. Miller, a native, the con tractoj', his son. the engineer of the ! dredge aud myself. There is not a ' white woman here. A few nugroes live here all the year round. Many . of the planters up the rivers have ; summer residences here which they occupy in summer for health. They are now uninhabited. The portion of this Island which borders on the sea i covered with a dense growth of palmetto, live1 and water oak and cedar, with long gray moss hanging from every ' limb. The scene thus presented, if ; hoary, is purely Southern in every sense of the word. That portion bordering on Mosquito Creek are simply marshes, cane brakes and rice tields. In these marshes and cane brakes are the permanent homes of the alligator, the mos quito, water mocasin. loggerhead turtle, etc. etc. The negroes heie the alligators ami a young one is considered a great delicacy and a daimy dish. Few li.-h are caught, though it is said they abound here. There is though no systematic method con ducted for catching them. We get no oysters nor clams, though I be lieve there are a few carried to (ieorgetown which are brought from farther north. During the period of heavy and prolonged fteshets 111 the rivers the water is perfectly fresh for three miles at sea. Taking all things into considera tion, this is a dreary place, but I make the best of it and am getting along very well. I miss my old chief. Xleti.

The London Th.icti says that the continued depression in trade is a vival of 1S79 was but temporary, and merchants now complain that their profits have either disappeared altocether or are extremely small. while great industries ai- admit tedly in distress, and nowhere is there real prosperity. Fut it is merely the speculative trade which is depressed. The hand to mouth trade is fully maintained. The chief cause of the lengthened depression, the writer thinks, is to be found in the series of bad harvests. London, Dec. -". flu Madrid correspondent of the Times says he .

The man was idiotic and had been missed ! for several days before he was found in the river. One of our Bladen county subscribers sends us the following: "One day last week a Marge raccoon went into a neighbor's yard about 12 o'clock in the day. and stopped at the well to taKe a drink of water, when the lady of the house spied him, and proceeded to the spot with a pole and killed him." Fayeitevillo Observer: We are glad to see that the Atlantic Koad from Morehead City to Goldsboro has been leased to Maj. Jno. Gat ling and his syndicate, and that they are to build the road to Fay etteville iu four years. This is an other good stroke for us. We have but little doubt that this road will be extended to Fayetteville, and, if so. it will .just as surely be ex tended to Charlotte. We believe the leasing syndicate is considered a verv strong one, and we doubt not their good intentions.

It is told, out in Shiloh township, that one night recently, a citizen of that township dreamed that at a certain spot on the land of one of his neigh bors there was buried a lot of money and a st 01 sineujaL.c;""s toolo. Communicating his dream, nest day, to one of his friends, the two proceeded to the spot which had been indicated in the vision, aud sure enough! there was a sign of the earth having been broken. They set to digging with a will, and, a few feet under ground, found, not the coveted money, nor the tools, but the dead body of a colored in taut.

Mr ly interesting to them in t he can Jlixtoru: Benedict Arnold had (bar son,-, all ot whom entered the British army as ofliceis. Some of the sons of these sons also obtained com missions in the pltbiic sen ice. the army, the navy, or the church, and several of them are still living. The second son of the traitor. -James 11. Arno d. won great dis tinction in the army, and seems to have been a man of amiable aud elevated character, lie was a baby in arms when the family went to England, alter the war, and. at twenty-three, was a lieutenant serving in Surinam. There he performed the act which proved at once how deeply he felt his father's infamy, and how much of his father's better nature he had inherited. Volunteers being called for to. head a storming party in the as sault of some almost impregnable forts, Lieut. Arnold offered his ser vices, and said to the commanding general. "I beg the privilege of guiding and leading this assault. You know the history of my father. No bra ver man than he ever 'lived, but he has been bitterly assailed for the affair of West Point. Give me a chance, I beg of you, to do w hat I can to redeem the name." That shows what lie thought of' 'the affair of West Point," and, al so, what the British army thought of it. His honorable request was . granted, and he fell, severely: wounded, at the head of his troops, lie recovered to enter upon a great career, ending with the rank of Lieutenant-General. For his gal lantry on this occasion, the merch ants and bankers of London pre seuted him with a magnificent sword, which was .shown lo Mr.; Isaac N. Arnold. A grandson of Benedict. Capt. . W. T. Arnold, fell in action at Sevastopol 111 LS.V, and had distin guished mention in the despatches, of his geneial. Lord Kaglan. Another grandson is now a lieuten ant in the British navy. The present head of the family in England is Lev. Edward Gladwyn Arnold, also a grandson of Iteiiedict. wljo is rector of Grant Massingliam in the County of Norfolk. His wife is Lady Charlotte, a daughter of the Marquis of Cholmondeley. known in America from the singu lar difference be' ween the Spelling and the pronunciation of his name.

This clergy man. of u horn nothing but good is spoken, pre.-erves the papers of his grandfather, and gave his American visitor a letter written by Sir Henry Ciintontohim in 177-'. ii) which Sir Henry declares that, in 'surrendering West i'oint, Benedict Arnold stipulated for no reward. Sir Henry wrote, You never gave me reason to suppose expected anything more than an indemnification. 1 thought it an act of justice, as well as dut , to offer you six thousand pounds not as an indeinnitiea'ion for all your los.-cs. for they had no been ascertained, bur I thought it was all with w .Mil jive iis ol i that ilelice in lu-r hicl I I l i be rail t v Loco Onslov County Items.

On the l!'-ld of February we evacuated the lines which we' held live miles below Wilmington and at the same time evacuated Wil mington and retreated in a very orderly manner. We were never theless pursued by six times our number who were endeavoring to cut us off. We marched that "day to North East river, fourteen miles, where we had a hot skirmish with the enemy who were in close pursuit and repulsed them. We crossed the river on a pontoon bridge aud camped for the night. February i'.'3d we marched to Burgaw on the Wilmington and Weldon railroad and camped for the night, the weather being very rainy and the road very heavy aud muddy. February 24th, we marched back or were sent back on the train t welve miles towards North East river, within two miles of the enemy, at ; llocky Point station and loaded! the.ti.du with cotton which had been then1 for some time for want of transportation. We then re turned to the brigade which was at Duplin Cross roads and camped at Kockfish creek three days. Here, brother comrades, my recol lection ceases. I have no record ! any further. The regiment had engagements aii'.l marches after this;, but as l have no dates 1 will not have any more to say, but will leave the Sixty-Sixth in the hands of others who will, 1 sincerely hope, take it up and write out its history as it should be. Will not some one who is competent to do the regi ment full justice take hold and write it up? Now, brother soldiers, I bid you all an affectionate farewell. 1 have endeavored to tell you the whole truth and nothing but the truth in these feeble efforts of mine. I would have told you more, but I lost, by the fire iu Trenton a feu years ago, one of my most important books, the organization of the companies and the regiment. I would -liked to have mentioned every company in the regiment, together with the brave and daring deeds of the officers and men, but I hace lost this most important book and must content myself with what I have done, hoping that if I have wounded the feelings of a .-in 111! i trv ;li'iiin!i ui'the ifgiuivut lie will . i in me Ml' it aud I will certainly to maki' him reparation.
