We are sappy to learn from the Newbern Pro
gress tint the report in circulation in regard to
the health -of Got, Ellis are much exaggerated.
Referring ?to one of these ' reports in a Raleigh
paper, the Progress says : 't
TheaOTe "report" is about as correct as
. some of thfi telegraphic dispatches which reach
ed Raleigh about election times. We saw Got.
Ellis on te street yesterday, and though not
looking" a though he enjoyed his accustomed
health, beseemed to be'far removed, we thought,
from consumption. "
What Then!
In toe' course of a few days a custom house of
ficer will discharging Ids duty to the Confed
erate States on the line of the Wilmington and
Mancheste Rail Road where it enters the State
of-Soath Carolina. Then every passenger going
or comingwill be liable to have his trunks ex
amined, ad his baggage' ransacked, and every
freight train will" be compelled to. undergo the
same scrutiny. What will be the effect of this
on thebusaiess of that road, and of the town of
Wilmington ? This is a yery interesting ques
tion to bn people, the merchants and.- business
men particularly, and we would like to hear what
they hate' fio say about it. Will anything be
"going wBong" or will "anybody be hurt" by
the new order, of things ? ;
JJS The Fayetterille Observer desires to have
a statement tontained in a communication to
the Herat corrected, and in order to secure
that object, it gratuitously insults the' editor
of the Jltrald and then offers to pay him if hewill
publish the" Insult. If th e editor of the Observer
had asked-tfie usual courtesy of us, we would
cheerfulf4iaTe yielded our columns to its denial
of, the statement, (for which we hare the author
ity of sv citizen ct Fayetteville, and his name
when demoded), bfit the" Observer has forfeited
all claim ttt it hearing in the Herald. The Her

of Wilmington, is hateful to the Observer, we
suppise; fjui; like ke other objects of its dis

its lore.' admirctne courage which promp

was of delayed by the Observer in a certain
little difficulty. which occurred a few years ago,
and itajphich the public is' familiar. .This,
howertr,js ,a matter between the Observer and
"Lone Str?1 whose name i3 in our possession,

There Isne sentence, however, in the Obser

It reads as follows : ,
"Tberq s various othef infamous falsehoods
in this communication, as the Editor of the Her
ald is probably aware if he does us thefhonor to
read the Observer.'' j
. Without making iny flourish over 'falling a
spade a spade" and without embarrassing our
language with an "if" we assert thatthe writer
of that sentence is a lying puppy although we
are weir aware, that this is no news to the pub
lic. It is Very disagreeable to be compelled to
say these! things of such eminently, pious saints,
as the editors of the Observer, but it cant be hel

our controversy with the Observer newspaper.

appointed bv the Lincoln administration a mail

trip on Saturday, and in passing Charlottesville
was 'waited on by a committee of citizens, who
informed rliin, in the politest manner possible,

- retire frpn the public service, or he would be
dealt with' according to his deserts as a republi

From the Journal of Commerce, Jr.
Floating Custom Horsis! Those determined
politicians who havd declaimed so loudly against
any concessions, and hare insisted "upon col
lecting the revenue at all hazards," either in or
outside of the ports of the secedinz States, have
had very "little experience, probably, in the im
porting business, and know rery little of the le
gal process by which the duty is ascertained and
received. Fancy a nrst-clas3 packet ship, with
a full cargo of French goods, stopped by a reT-
enue cutter or a small steamer, outside of port,
for t he purpose of coll ectiner the d u ties . She has
ten thousand packages of dry goods and fancy
articles: 'subject to different rates of dutr, all to
be examined, entered, appraised and delivered.
Where;ia the owner or consignee whose . oath is
required ? The goods belong to five hundred
different people, each of whom must attest his
invoice. But there are no invoices on board.
The ship has only her general manifest, the in
voices having been sent by mail. Suppose, how
ever, that the owners are found, present their
invoices, make out their entries in due form, and
the examination of the goods begins, v But the
cargo is mixed, and packed below in the densest
order, and the vessel must be discharged before
the goods can be examined and appraised. A
floating warehouse, -securely anchored, might
furnish room for such a purpose, but anchorage
ground is within reach of cannon shot, and this
work must all be done outside. Eight or ten
ship's decks might give room to display the out
side of the packages of one ship's cargo ; when
these were all arranged, then comes the opening
of the cases for examination. Silks, ribbons.
fan3, and artificial flowers, &c,, are not especial
ly benefitted by sea air, and by the time a few
hundred or thousand cases were opened, if it
should happen to blow or be a little stormy, um
brellas and oil-cloth coverings would probably
be at a premium ! The, beauties of the new Tar
iff would shine out with most resplendent lustre
at such a moment. A dozen different rates of
duty on as many packages of cotton or woollen
fabrics, each to be determined by counting the
threads to the square inch, ascertaining the square
yards, and determining both the weight and ex
port value. All goods valued by weight and
measure are to have a weigh-master's or measur
er's certificate to the exact contends. It would
be easy on shipboard to rig a line -on which to
hang the steelyards, but the dip of the vessel, if
there were much a sea on might make the beam
go up in the wrong place.
The talk of collecting duties according to any
legally recognized standard, upon the cargo of a
vessel while the latter is at sea, is too ridiculous
for sober consideration. The thing is practically
impossible. If there were no violation of the
statute in such a measure, the work could not be
done by any skill or strength of human agency.
The vessel might be brought to, under the guns
of a man-of-war, and made to pay toll, or a cer-
n sum for the rich! of way ; and the amount
might be graduated according to the supposed or
estimated value of her cargo ; but this would be
piracy in fact, if not in name, and would not
come within the sanction of any revenue code.
the whole difficulty mieht be avoided by com
pelling a vessel bound to a port thus, in fact,
outside of the Federal jurisdiction, to discharge
at another port lor collection purposes, and then
reload the goods for their proper delivery ; but
this happens to be expressly forbidden by the
Constitution, in. these words : "nor shall vessels
bound to, or from one State, be obliged to enter,
clean, or pay duties in another." There is, there
fore, no way, either with or without the consent
of Congress, by which, the President can collect
the revenue upon cargoes bound for the seceding
States, unless he can establish and maintain per
manent warehouses upon, or near to, the land
where the goods may be discharged for examin
ation. The oft repeated assertion that "the Rev
enue would be collected at all hazards" even
though the Federal authorities were driven from
the seceding States, we, have regarded from the
beginning, as an empty boast, which Could nev
er be executed. The I proper officers must be
within the State, and acting according to legal
regulations, in order to collect the duty upon
imports. If such a location cannot be maintain
ed, the revenue cannot be collected, it it la
deemed desirable to attempt the maintenance of
a position at the ports for this purpose at the
cost of war and its attendant horrors, then the
assertion of a determination to collect the reve
nue has a terrible force and significance. But
the proposition to enforce the revenue laws with
out a collisian, by collecting the duties at sea, is
too ridiculous for sober argument.
Neither do we see by what right a revenue cut
ter or a national man-of-war could stop a vessel
Douna into sucn a port, even u a blockade were
attempted. A ship coming out might be stop
ped for want of a clearance in a proper form,
but such an interruption of the commerce with a
foreign port, ' would probably be resented by
other nations, and lead:to fresh complications.
We see but two ways out of Our present diffi
culties. Either bring the seceding. States back
by an amicable settlement of our political differ
ences ; or let them go in peace upon, the path
they have chosen. In either case, an armed en
enforcement of the revenue laws would be un
wise, as well as impracticable. If we are to
come together again, strife and bloodshed will
not strengthen brotherly ties; and if we are to
live apart, let us' try to preserve the peace, both
before and after our formal separation. , It does !
not follow that the smuggling of European goods
across the border need be a serious evil to the
North, even without a very watchful line ofsen
tinels. If the tariffs of the two sections were
nearly equal, the good3 would have paid about
the same tax, whether landed at the North or
South; and there would probably be quite as
many goods entered at Northern ports and flow
ing tSouthward over the borders, as would meet
them in a reverse course. The border war which
we should fear most, would have another origin,
and lead to a more hostile feeling than any rev
enue question is likely to provoke, butjsufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof. The "question
of floating Custom House ill therefore see it
self at restswithout the aid of legislation, as no:
wit oi man conld devise a method ! of ascertain"
ing and collecting the duties on imports by such

Distress In Holland. .
The Baltimore Exchange publishes the follow
ing extract from a private letter from Holland
in regard to the distress consequent upon the jre
cent inundations : .
r ' March, , 18611
"Dear : A few day3 ago I wrote you of
the terrible distress of the fatherlan.d. At that
time twenty-one flourishing villages, with about
forty thousand acres of land, were inundated,
and twenty thousand industrious men in a few-
days deprired of all their possessions, and many
of their wives and children, wno were arownea
amidst the ice. To-day I received later news of
a still more alarming 'calamity. Not only the
Bommelerward, but the land or .Haas ana aai
was totally inundated. To the twenty-one vil
lages totally lost in the Bommerlerward were
again twenty-two others added, with about sev
enty seven thousand acres of land inundated.
The last loss exceeded xar more inan inai oi me
former, and we can calculate that about sixty
thousand former nappy ana weauny inaasiriuua
men are to-day reduced to beggary. The Pat-
ne in fans, some papers m iiuguuju uu Bel
gium, have opened their columns of themselves,
without demand of the Hollanders, to assist in
the tremendous calamity, not parralleled in ex
tent of loss during centuries. The King and
the Princess went with the Governors in person
to the inundated spot, 'where eight ships were
sunk in consequence of the force of the ice. All
people were proriding bread for numbers of the
sufferers many of whom during three days
could not be approached, when at last many
were found dead amidst the ice and water, or on

A Mock Duel ok the One Side. The Albany
Atlas and Arqus relates a story of two students.
between whom some differences had occurred,
who went to Greenbush on Saturday to fight a
duel. The challenge originated, perhaps, more
in fun than in earnest : yet it was promptly ac
cepted, the sursreons selected, friends summoned,
duelling pistols procured, and all arranged, to
the satisfaction of the parties. The Greenbush
ferry was crossed, the place near the woods
reached, the ground paced off, and the parties
stationed at their posts, after the challenged
party had retired lor a moment to pray. The
word was given, and bang! went the pistols, one
rerxirt following the other in quick succession,
and down went the challenger; A glance by the
successful combatant satisfied him' that Canada
or the Southern Confederacy would afford him
safer quarters than Albany, and he took to his
heels in earnest. His friends sougnt nim, iouna
him, and escorted him to he city, where his
locks where shorn, and a wig now supplies their
place: while a moustache (procured at a barber
shop) ornaments his upper lip. The wounded
student, in a carriaee with friends, returned to
the city by the South ferry. He had concluded,
with his fellows, that his opponent was a fresh
man," and needed initiation. Hence the chal
lenge, and the snbseauent proceedings. The
balls were left out of the pistols, unknown to
the "freshman," who although "sold," estab
lished a reputation for courage which any of the
r-m it j a i if m i '
r ass would criadiv appropriate to uimseii. au
retirinsr of the challeneee for a moment to praV,
exhibits an amiable simplicity as to the nature of
duelling, in the eyes of the law and the gospel-
Ihterkstin'g to IaoN Manufacturhrs. We
find in the London "Enquirer" an account of a
process purely mechanical, through which the
ensile strength of a bar of cornmon malleable
iron may. witnout me aia oi neat, oe increases
. .i -i t x i j
fiftv per cent. I he principle is tne same as inat
hv which wire is stroneer- per square inch of
section than the bar from which it was original-
lv drawn. Bars of common merchant iron are
Dassed cold between Grooved rollers until tne
requisite degree of compression is attained. An
instance is menffoned in which a bar, two and
one-eighth inches in diameter, and fifteen long,
was rolled down to two inches in ten minutes-
with practice this time could be reduced one-
half. The one-eighth of an inch i3 not lost as
in turning a shaft in a lathe, the bar is length
ened- about one and one-half inch to the foot.
The bar came out quite polished and parallel
enoueh for shafting:, but not quite straight. It
was strairhtened by hand by two men in half
an hour, and might be done by machinery in a
few minutes. According to Mr. Fairbairn, the
effects of the consolidation was to increase the
strength of the bar in the ratio of ten to fifteen,
in the experiments made by him.
Extraordinary Scrgical Operation. At the
last sitting of the French Academy of Sciences,
Dr. Jobert de Lamballc cave an account or a
singular surgical operation performed by him,
in the case of a soldier named Gustin, aged 21,
who had been wounded at an advanced post be
fore the Malakoff Tower in the Crimea. A ball
had penetrated through his forehead, making a
clean circular opening of the size of about one-
franc piece ; the man thus struck fell down from
the parapet, a height of seven feet, and was ta
ken to the nearest ambulance in a state ot in
sensibility, which lasted 24 hours; Eight days
after he was shipped off to Constantinople, where
he remained four month3 in a military hospital.
However, being well provided, it would seem,
with the organ of combativeness, he asked and
obtained permission to return to the Crimea, al
though his wound was in full suppuration, lie
subsequently fought at Traktir, and afterwards
returned to France, where he continued in tne
army, but witnout being empioyea in any active
service on account of the state of his health,, his
wound still suppurating as before. At length,
in February, 1857, he entered the Hotel Dieu
and placed himself under the care or Dr. Jobert,
who, upon, examination, found that a ball was
still lodged inside his skull ; this, with a variety
of precautions, was successfully extracted, ana
the man is now perfectly recovered . The ball had
remained in for the space of twenty-two months.
Early Occurrence op the Name of Washing
ton. A writer in the Boston Historical Maga
zine for the current month gives an early per
haps the earliest authentic noijce.of the name
of Washington. Io the first volume of the Chron-
icon Monasterii de Abingdon, published in illus
tration of mediTal British history, under the
direction of the Master of the Rolls, by the Brit
ish GoTernment, at page 337, we find a grant of
land from King Edgar, the Anglo-Saxon king,
to "Athelunold Washingatune.'1 The document
bears date A. D. 963, about nine centuries "ago.
Quicker Still from Europe . What is known j
as the Gal way line of mail steamers will com-i
mence operations, running a vessel across the;
Atlantic every fortnight, on the" 26th of this
month. TheT have four steamers the. latest
addition being the Adriatic, of New York, j It
is doubtful whether Galway, which is difficult of ,
access, will continue to be the port of despatch
and arrival. The idea of substituting Limerick,
on the Shannon, (the finest river in the United
Kingdom.) has received much consideration. If
the anticipations of the Company be realized,
the New York Times thinks "by this route we
shall probably be in possession of telegraphic
news from London and Paris less than six days
old." By such means, we shall have, diminished
reasons for regretting the failure of the Atlantic
Telegraph.
JUsEirn, Apfmcatiox or Imdia Rcbrer. One
of the recent uses to whicn India rubber is put,
is that of furnishing the material for business
cards.--The material makes light and prettily
moulded business cards,' one advantage of which
is that they cannot be defaced easily, and are
almost indestructible. It would be very eco
nomical for passenger railroad tickets, for the
same tickets . would last for months; another
great advantage would be that they could not
be imitated. To the companies which sell pack
ages of tickets, good for any day, these tickets
would be a saving and a protection. Philadel

The American Eaglb Outraged by a CwnH
sy Scbgeos. On the 1st bit., in London, Cap
tain Rich, a rough, honest, weather beaten mar
iner, of very frank address, and master of the
American ship John A. Banks, ; appeared before
Mr. Yardley, police magistrate, to answer a sum
mons taken out by a ship carver, named josepn
H. Hodgson, who claimed "a balance of 1 15s.
for repairing the defendant's figure head.
The complainant said he had agreed with the
AtCAwtA rt Mnair Vila fi rrn r-i oo A fnti And
baa completed the iob and received only 25s. of
themeney. r
The Defendant Yes, for spoiling mj figure
head. " .
Mr. Yardley You appear to hare a very good
figurehead. (A laugh.) i
Capt.:Rich Yes, my figure head is all right
and taut ; (laughter )but as to my ship's fig
ure head, no one can tell whether it was a bird
or a turtle. V
Mr. Yardley What is the matter with it?"
CaptJ Rich He has spoiled the wings.
Mr. Yardley Wings. What do you mean.
Capt. Rich,- (loudly ) What do I mean ?
Why, W-i-n-g-s, (spelling the word slojvly .)
Mr. Yardley -Thank you ; I am much- cjbli
ged to you, sir. What is your figure head?.
Capt. Rich An American eagle, and the bird
lost one of its wings on my voyage here.
Mr. Yardley Indeed. I hope that is not om
inons of what is going on on the other side of
the Atlantic ocean. r h
Capt. Rich I hope not. Well, I engaged this
man to carve a new wing for my eagle, and it is;
four inches too short and spoiled. . .
Mr. Yardley It won't fly at all ? j
Capt. Rich Fly, no ; I should think not. -If
such an eagle as that attempted to fly it would
drop to the ground.
Mr. Yardley You mean to say it is lop-sided i
Capt. Rich It is, and one wing is shorter than'
the other. I dare not go into an American port
with such an eagle as that. I like my wing car-
ved properly. j
The complainant insisted that the wing was:
properly carved, but in this Jje was contradicted;
by another ship's carver, who said it was tooi
short, and that the new wing was thinner than?
the old one, and not artistically finished. One
wing might be said to look free and independent;
like the Northern States of America, the other!
was typical
Mr. Yardley Come, we' must have no poli-i
tics here. Which wing was it, Capt.; Rich th
starboard or larboard wing?
Capt. Rich It was the port wing.
Mr. Yardley The port wine:. We. call that
the genuine bee's wing, (great laughter.)
After some further discussion it was agreed
that the defendant should- give up the new wingi
to the complainant, and the summons was on;
this understanding dismissed.
The Complainant The wing is of no use at
all to me.
Mr. Yardley That is my decision. ; You have!
spoiled the wing of the American eagle,; and the;
Captain will not go into port with such a bad
specimen of the national emblem

The French Government and American Af
fairs. Mr. Gaillardet, the Paris correspondent
of the ''Courrier des Liats Lnis.'1 and who also,
by his articles in the Paris Presse, contributes
very materially to the formation of public opin
ion in France, relative to American affairs, writes
as follows to the Vourner
"France saw with sincere and unanimous re
gret, discord appear in the bosom of a confede
ration which is in part its own work, and whose
power is necessary to its interests. The wishes
of France were favorable to a reconcil;.atioh, and
to the maintainance of the Union. The' Emper
or Napoleon openly expressed this wish to Mr.
Faulkner, and has abstained from saying, or do
ing anything which could encourage the sepa
ration of the South, despite the advantages
which such a separation promised to the com
merce of Europe in general, and to that of France
in particular. But to-day, the division of the
Union is accomplished ; and at the moment when
the Confederate States of the South apply them
selves to , enlarging j the freedom of 'their ports
to foreign industry,5 the Novth restricts the en
trance to its harbors; While those lower their
tariff, these raise theirs. It is the slave States
who show themselves progressive, and free Slates
who show themselves retrograde. The Ameri
can people,, which is so practical, may under
stand that Europe should be a little like itself,
and go. whither its interests call. The-Southern
Confederacy by prohibiting the slave trade, has
forestalled the moral opposition of Europe.
There will be in America only five more free
ports for us. This is what the Republicans of
the JNorth should hot forget, if it is not already
loo late; The Moniteur says, the new tariff
should be one ot the first sacrifices made to their
reconciliation with the South ; otherwise Europe:
will end by seeing only a fortunate event in a
separation which she at first deplored ; and it
will become not only a right but a duty for us
to recognize the independence of the new Con
federacy." ,
An Extraordinary Plagiarism. An instance
of plagiarism on a large scale has just come to
light in England, which is likely to make a sen
sation unparalleled by any previous case of the
tind. The London Literary Gazette of March
2d has an elaborate article of four pages, de
monstrating in the fullest manner that the fa
mous poems of "Lucille," which revealed last
year in such an unexpected manner the genius
of the son of Bulwer, is no better than a very
literal transaction of the " La vinia" of George
Sand. That novel, published in Paris about
twenty-five years ago, is one of the few hovels
of George Sand which has not appeared in an
English dress ; and the great number of large
works which have followed, had caused it to be
almost forgotten. It is very remarkable, how
ever, that so bold and complete a plagiarism
from so well known a -writer, extending through
whole cantos of poems, should .have remained
undetected for so many months. Mr. Owen
Meredith, in hi3 " Dedication" of Lucile to' his
fither, has the assurance to say that "he has
endeavored to follow a path oh which I conld
discover no footprints before me, either to guide
or to warn." In illustration of this astound
ing impudence, the reviewer in the Literary
Gazette places the passages from the novel and
the passages from the poem side by side, and
enables the reader to see that they are as near
ly identical as poetry and prose can be. In
many instances, indeed, "Lucile" uses the very
words ot "Lavinia"' the French expressions
for flowers that have no English name. Of
forty-seven pages which the reviewer examined,
tne identity was complete. M o literary reputa
tion can stand such .an exposure as this: and we
have probably heard the last of Owen Mere
dith as an author and poet. It adds another
chapter to the scandalous history of the house
of liulwer.
