After a meeting of the directors of tha projected road through Pamlico, the Journal wu pleased to publish the par agraph below as being a roseate view of tha road's prospects, seen through the spectacles of aa tnthualastlo official to whom we are Indebted for tha Item. The Bayboro Sentinel published by the lead ing promoter of the project clipped tha paragraph and threw off tha appended response. 'The directors of tha Pamlico. Orlen tal and Western Railroad aay they are very much pleased with the progress be ing made la getting preliminaries such as legal requirements, conveyances, sur veys for the road disposed of. Thev are satisfied that actual work will beam within ten days and thev bea to Inform tha public that arrangement are. being made to engage a large force of laborers and work will be pushed raotdlv until completed." New Bern Journal Sad. i 'We clIo the above from tha New Bern Journal, and publish It for what It is worth as coming from our esteemed contemporary what it Is worth we can't say, a few days ago the Journal was severely criticising the management of this new road, for what it had not done. Now it seems to be telling what It has done and Is golna to do. It Is a hard matter to tell anything about the whims oitne journal, but we suppose It does me oest u can ana we nop that there Is some correctness In the above statements in fact they are mostly true." Bayboro Sentinel, 6th. What the Sontlnal terms criticisms "of a few days ago," was Intended as an Inquiry, which the Sentinel has adopted verbatim as the head of Its leading edi torial, last Issue, to wit, "What has la come of the new railroad." That was Just the question the Joui- nal wanted answered. It was the ques tion that bad been asked by numbers of the Journal's subscribers and the Senti nel has answered it. According to the editorial referred to, the work hws been hindered because a few people in Pam lico couoty wouldn't sell a right of way across land that they had sworn to the tax assessor! was only worth $2.00 to $10 00 per acre for less than $100.00 to S5U0.U0.

The story comes from New Orleans La and every detail ot the story seems to have an Impress of truth. , WT Hendricks, whose home , la in Beaufort and John Drew, a negro sailor shipped on the three-masted schooner. B A Bingham, at Pensaoola, Flavor an ex tended trip, July 8th. Capt. Merrill, was the only other member of the crew. When about two days out the captains supply-of liquor became exhausted, he had been drinking heavily, and when his supply was cut off he became a raving maniac. The men were kept under his vigilance all the time. He would keep them apart so that they could not over power him. He . had the advantage of them as he was well armed with two large revolvers and a Winchester rifle, while thev had no weapons whatever. After some time of frenzied vitupera tions and threats the rum crazed captain resorted to a terrible expedient. He put one of the boats similar to what all schooners carry ,oi the sea and compelled the two sailors to get into the boat and put in a small amount ot provisions and left them to their fate. He evidently thought they would be drowned In some storm which freauently Occurs on the southern sea. The rations which were put Into the boat consisted of one can of corn, one can of tomatoes, two pounds of pork, five pounds crackers, and five gallons of water. About enough to last two heart y men two days or when taken carefully might last four or five days. Imagine their terror when they saw the schooner sail away and no possible help in sight. In dancer of being overtaken by storm at any time and should they be saved from a storm they faced the prospect of starvation unless rescued by some boat.;. : t '. They were about 100 leagues from Tortugas, the southern coast ot Florida, in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and With no compass to guide them, they were certainly in a dilemma."

Primrose Did Not Accompany ashler T. W. Dewey la His Flight. In New York Under lied- leal Treatment. In Sunday morning's edition of the News and Observer appeared In head lines, the statement that "P. H. Pellctier and Dr R 8 Primrose are Implicated with cashier Dewey In the affair." In the body of this article, appears the statement that "It Is thought by many that Dr. Primrose accompanied cashier Dewey In his flight." ' The Journal feels aa .the home' paper of Dr Prtmroe that it becomes It's duty to correct any such imputation" after a full Investigation of these cbargee.Cash ier Dewey loft this city on Saturday af ternoon. Dr K 8 Primrose, jtmis tn the oity and here remained 'until Tuesday morning following, as hia departure was noted by this paper In the morning is sue ot the following dayt Dr Primrose left for New York City with his wife, for treatment as for sev eral days he bad been suffering with an abscess in the ear. Tbe mother of Mrs Primrose is in the city Ht the Primrose residence, In constant communication with her as to the couditl n of the Doc tor. On Saturday la-.t, a personal frk-nd re ceived the following telegram from New York, which has been eihlbltod to the writer since the article In tbe News and Observer appeared: 3KD ON 17 Paid. Mc New York 8 10 24 a m "Am shocked toHurned confirmed, Dewev's ilefutealion, l'" ho been heard from, hi brother here in Ignorance." H. f. PR1MRO-5F. The article lu tin: Obst rver is calcu lated to do Dr. l'rtniruse great injury eencclallv outside nf IiIh own cliy, and should be immediately corrected, with t ylew of at luaat lessening the injury al ready done him. With the private spec ulation of Dr. Primrose, wo are not in tcrested, but of the charge that lie was implicated with Cashier Dewey in the defalcations, after thuruugh, investiga tion -e find that cusrse totally untrue. The Receiver of the Uaok as well its President ha ve been Interviewed by us and we are informed ihnt Dr. Prim rose's liability to the Hauk consisted of a note for $1000.00 with which is placed as collateral certificates of tbe capital stock of the Brick and TUo Manufactur- Iuk Company, and $150.00, secured by two shares A &.1N.0 railroad Mock, and one share Citizins Bank stock, Dr. Prim rnnn is a Plivslcian of hieh stuutliue in this community with a large and lucra tlvo practice and it is greatly to be de plored that false rumors should have hfinn used throueh the pass of this State, unverified, to his great prejudice and it is to be hoped that simple justice be done him as speedily aa possible His friends In" the cliy have at once communicated this false report to him, tn order that he may personally correct by wire. Mr. Pelletler is In the city, and can promptly act in his own behalf, but the absence of Dr. Primrose makes us feel that we should In his behalf place theso facta promptly before the public.

Was Matthew Arnold right when, aa an experienced erltte cnlmly Judging the favorite nuthor of bis youth, he denied that tho "Essays, the lectures and "English Traits" form ed a body of prose of sufficient merit to entltlo Emerson to be ranked as a great man of letters? It seems as if tho tlmo.bad come for. Emerson's coun- uyraen irunaJ7 o accept ima vuruiti. Because of deflclcncles, both of stylo and of romance, Emerson does not belong to the small class of the great masters of prose. His stylo, despite the fact that "Nature" -and many of the essays contain pages ot eloquent prose almost equal in power nnd benu ty to noble poetry, was nearly always that of tbe lecturer or preacher rather thuu that of the writer. lie too fre quently lost the note of distinction and was content if he satisfied hia fnr from exigent audiences. . In diction, to be sure, ho was a conscious und consum mate master, .and it need scarcely be said that few;' writers have surpassed hlin in the. ability to compose, a preg nant sentence. Butas is gauerally ad mlttod and aa la shown-by his prac tice of piecing bis notes together, he waa rarely able to evolve a paragraph, much uioro a whole essay, In a mas terly or even in a workmanlike fashion. It may bo granted that critics have overemphasized his lack of coherence, that there is more logical unity In bis essays than appears on first reading, that "English Traits" ond tho later volumes are far from being mere strings of "orphlo sayings," but the fact seems to remain that the prose Stylo of Emerson,. from first to last lacks the firmness, tho compass, the precision, the flexibility, tho Individ' uallty we demand of the prose writers whom we denominate masters.
