Heaufort harbor is without range

no matter how rough the weather,
it is impossible for any vewel over

there a little over a year ago, and
the tine steamer New Uerne. of the
Old Dominion Steainsli ip Company,

ago and nearly lost, with all hands

F.verv consideration for the com

of property, demand the immediate
erection of a light on (lull Shoal.
Wilkinson's Point. in Neue river,
sixteen miles below New l'.erne,
should also be lighted. It is danger
ous, and with the opening of the

it is the point to run for after leav

The appropriations tor the
Lighthouse Service arc, or should
be, ample for all the necessary aids
to safe navigation. There is noiuiiti
want of lights, beacons and buoys
in the waters to the north of us.
There should be none here. Our
commerce is of sufficient importance
to entitle onr section to the fullest
consideration. We have not had

It is time that we assert our claims
and require of our representatives

securing local nublic benefits as
other constituencies have received
at the hands of their public and
representative men.
STEAMBOAT INSPECTION SEKVK'E.
When but i'evr steamboats were
owned in North Carolina, the State
was divided between South Caro
lina and Virginia, the Cape Fear
region being assigned to the Dis
trict of Charleston, the balance of
the State to the District of Norfolk.
These two inspection districts cover
the State of North Carolina now.
Kvery vessel propellel by steam
must undergo annual inspection at
the hands of the United States In -
sector of Hulls and the r imneotor
0f Hoilers, for which an inspection
fce of $10 is charged: it was until
recently 2o. Every master, en
gineer," mate and pilot of steam -
boats must stand an examination
and obtain a liceuse from these in-
siwWnrs lxfnre eifbi-rnf tl lem c:n
be employed on a steamboat, and
they must appear in person before
the inspectors to undergo the first
examination. This necessitates a ;
visit to Charleston or .Norfolk, un - j
less the party to bo examined is
lncky enough to run up. with the!
inspectors somewhere in the State,

really prefer. Delays ot two and
three weeks have occurred m get -
ting the inspectors out to examine
loats, the insjiectors of the Norfolk
and Charleston districts having too
much territory and too many steam
ers to attend to. Within the la.t
few years the number of steamboats
has increased out of all proportion
to the inspection service, and they
are rapidly increasing in this State
as well as in Virginia and South
Carolina. For example, there are
at New Heme for annual inspection
fourteen steam lx.its, where eight

Talk about your big fish and big
coons, but Isaac Hewett, better known
as Swamp Sam, caught the largest red
drum fish this week that we ever saw
or heard of. The fish was six feet long
and weighed nearly 100 pounds. Ike
Baid he thought he had a whale for once.
The fish got tangled in his net and was
killed after a struggle by Ike with a
crowbar. ,
Capt. Heady caught the largest coon
I ever saw; it measured 4 feet 4 inches
from head to tail end, and 3 quarts of
oil were taken from the beast. But thii
is not a circumstance to Ned. Farnell's
'possom. Ned says Durant Morton and
Ezekiel Morton, two farmers, killed a
regular genuine N. C. 'peesom that
weignea 40 pounas, iull weignt, ana lat

for Ned is a man of truth.

good too, because we tried them. Bertie
Loughlin, son of the Captain, received
his birthday dinner last Tuesday, and
we were there, and the turkey was
splendid, and things didn't look liks
hard times, though times are pretty
hard with us at present. Bertie was
awfully surprised when he lifted his
plate and found a gold dollar under it.
Couldn't tell where it came from.
Rev. Mr. Futrell preached a good
sermon from 2nd Cor., ch. 5, v. 1, last
Sunday evening. He is a good speaker
though a young man. His appoint
ments for this place are every second
Sabbath in each month. We are sadly
in need of a good church, a place to
preach in; our old church is neglected

The Counterfeiters.
At the office of Commissioner Gard
ner, yesterday, we were shown a quan
tity of the spurious coin found in the
possession of Ben Allen and his alleged
accomplice, Louisa Allen, together with
the moulds used by the counterfeiters
in turning out the various denomina
tions of coin. The moulds are mere
blocks of plaster of paris, with the neces
sary indentation in the centre, into
which the hot composition is poured,
when an upper block, with its appro-
j priate impression, is added, and the two
i form the exact counterpart of the coin
i to be counterfeited. We were shown
' the spoon used in tranferring the liquid
1 metal from the vessel in which it is
1 heated to the various moulds. The
1 handle is lengthened out, so as to pro
! tect the holder from the intense heat.
, by a thin piece of twisted iron. After
, the coin is moulded powder is Hashed
j over it, which gives it a dark color, and
then it is wiped off witha chamois skin,
J which takes away the bright, new ap
j pearance and leaves it witha semblance
of having been in use for sometime. A
file is used to do away with whatever
ujievenness or roughness may neces
sarily occur in the process of moulding.
The material is in short bars, evidently
prepared with a view to the use which
is made of it.
Tho parties were seemingly in a po-,
sition to carry on an extensive business,
and it appears that they were inclined to
make the best use of their time and op
portunity. The colored festivals are
said to have sulTered quite seriously
from the imposition of the bogus coin,
and tlie store-keepers ami bar-keepers
have nearly all been "stuck "to a greater
or less extent. Some of it was even
imposed on the tax collectors, as shrewd :
as they are. ne store-keeper gave a
live-dollar greenback in exchange for
its equivalent in coin, which he thought
genuine at the time, but afterwards dis
covered to be spurious.
Detective Carr deserves great credit
fur his success in working up the ciisb
and the tinal capture of the counter
feiter and hin accomplice, together with
the tools, material, bogus coin. etc.
Allen is about 40 years of age. ap
parently, is a mulatto, and in stature is
live feet six inches high, hieing some
what low and squatty. There is no
doubt that Allen had other confederates, j
The case comes up for preliminary
examination before U. S. Commissioner
tar, Iner this morning. Wil. Stir.
Some Events of Yesterday.
Yesterday morning the ollicers and
employees of the A. it N. ('. railroad,
through Col. John 1). Whitford, its presi

niagnilicent watch, chain and seal, the
