J Shipping. r-Thc shipping of the port has ately increased to a very great degree. Thus last Thursday we noticed four vessels flying the 'North German flag or the colors of the new German Empire. Many vessels have been laying securely in Northern ports a waiting peace and her golden reign. 4. Ger many wants ships and naval stores, and, un doubtedly will send us much trade. Help the Poor. Pity is not what the poor want or need. They need food rai ment, fael, or the cash With which to buy thoso necessaries of life. When you sit in your comfortable dwelling during the cold evenings and listen to the shrill whistle of the winter wind, around the corner, don't say :! pity the por," but ask yourself how much you pity them, and, gire unto them accordingly. , AppRovAl.--Indepindc.3t mn appreci ate independency and 'rbwA we are not astonished to "seekho iofiovvinif copied into he JlMTeiegrairh - We must have . -tr io ;iil 'represi! principles, and they nvt bu men of jyrinci- ple and noc ! demagogues, who hold office only- to fill pockets and who represent nothing but their own creed and impu dence Wilmington Post (Hep.) It the newspaper press, and parties of the State, will make the above sentiment their guide in the future a new era of peace and prespe3ity will bo inaugurated, such as has not been witnessed in many years. ; Such a compliment coming from the ablest edited and; most influential paper in he State is praise indeed. , That's So. An exchange very truthfully says: "lae man who steals a newspaper, or deprives in any way (by borrowing or other wise) the owner of its use until it is worn out, is as mean as the man who stole his neighbor's property and was sent to the Penitentiary. .It you are reading a borrow-. ed -or stolen pape take as much of this to yourself as you think prper. We again allude to the matter' because subscribers at ' ' r some ot the country Post Offices inform us that their papers are borrowed or stolen and nearly worn out .belore they get hold of them. Information for Jolly Fellows. There is a tradition" that brandy was atone time manufactured from the vine, but the grapes of France having of late years fol lowed the example of the potatoes, and taken to moulding and rotting, many of the French' brandy makers have adopted bituminous coal as a substitute. They dis til a potent spirit from this substance which is thus, available for the production of two kinds of fire, one for the comfort of the man, and the other for the desjtruGtion of his health and senses Large quanti ties of alcohol distilled from coal, and flavored with certain chemicals it is said are; sent from; France to this country. Coal tar, has, been long used to flavor whiskies, but a "" liquor with a coal basis is a specimen of chemistry which might well make tipplers strutlder. j . Plant one TREE.-rThe balmy days of Spring are here. They invite us to share in the re-awakening of nature, in dressing up the world for the holiday .of Summer. A sense of obligation -seems to impel us to plant something so as to share this fresh life which is coming to fill all things around us. V j ": : ;.- .

If you leave no other monument) you . have one then, and, how ever humble jyour life, you have done one thing worth remembering.

Habriss, Esq., j f '-X " j Prctident ChamheA, of Commerce : Sib : Availing myself of an invitation from Major Griswola to visit the public works, un der hi charge at New Inlet, foil the improve ment of Cape Fear Bar,1 and Harbor, I accom panied him and his assistant, Mri Jenton, down the river to-day. j I I f t , The weather being suitable we had a fine op portunity of surveying the situation, both dur ing the ebb and flood i tides. I Presuming it would interest you and the Chamber to know of the situation an progress of (he work, I bes leave to report ray observation. At the commencement, th line of stone work, i put down som? i years f since, between Zeke's Island and the belt of tfeach connecting with Smith's Island, is distinctly traceable at low tide, running in a line, North West and Southtjast. Iho task oi renewing . ttiis work, aad preiuriatf it to resist storm and fioOdis ccmparaiiclyi trifling. - l :At Uid rthern end of thlp line of stone wiork,! a'rrc4eh has been mad about six hun dred icct wide, and about t eh leet deoth of water in tlics deepest part of ify wearing away a considerable portion of Zckes Island, Around the Southern end f this old stone work, being in the bend, or ajngle formed by these, works, and the (line of peach, another, and most formidable; passage lyas made, about or near six hundred feet wide and thirty-seven leet deep. To the Westward, I and Southwest from this point, stretches out aq immense sheet of water, Known as Buzzard Biy, the water of which, being acted inpon bythe downward course of the river water on the western shore, produces a most violent counter icurrent through this passage to the ocean level.; tHeocethe great depth of water it has attained. - m The Engineer n charge has not been slow in perceivintr the formidable character of this ene my, or the importance of closing these passa ges to Zeke's Island, hereby forcing this vast volume of water through its natural outlet at the month of the river; neither has he been slow in his operations, -..j,.- :. h'H He Very wisely determined j to commence operations upon the Northern point of the beach, by sinking cribs of heavy timber twen ty by thirty feet, filled with stone, across the inlet, in line with the old worfcs. About four hundred and seventy lineal feejt of cribs hare been placed in position, three hundred arid eighty Icet ot which .'has been cov ered a with . the . finishing superstrmcture, while ninety feet are now ready to re ceive ; the saove. Two more i cribs are now ready; to be placed in position during this week. Thus tar the work has been attended with eminent success ; j the . agitation oi the water in its obstruction has had the effect of depositing the sand against the works as far and as lastr as nnisned, almost tp the top of the superstructure, where: thirty-sefen feet of water existed but a few days .since. ' jl also find sand shoals, some of them bare at Iqw tide, forming in all directions,' inside l and oui, where ten to twenty feet of water existed put a short time ago ; : tne ocean line ot eacn, iar away to tne southward, is rapidly :w;idening and filling ; nor i3 this all. 1 am informed, tht' since the com mencement of this work, a considerable changre has been effected in the current! and channels of the bars and river, and that the Rip near Fort Caswell is perceptibly wearing ja way. . Thus far the work appears a flatteiing success, much of which may be attributed to the practical goed sense and judicious management ot tne engineer in charge, and ot the prompt, energetic co-ope ration of Mr. Cunningham, superintendent of the work, in such hands l lepi every confi dence in the final and complete realization of our anticipation, provided thy are properly sustained by the Congress oi the United States. This accomplishment will chjser the drooping spirits of the Merchants and traders of the city nf WilmiTUrtnn. as wtell as ihd ritizTi rtf th State at large, by restoring to tie State her long lost harbor, one . Interior to inone upon the Southern Atlantic ceast, and altogether worthy of her, and by the establishnkent ot an Em porium within her town borders which will emancipate her from the commercial vassalage to neighboring S.tates undeif which' she has groaned for ninety long years, j v a ; t Closing the old, or principal Inlet, I regard as of minor importance comparatively, nature seeming aisposea to i close it any. how, but re quires some effort on our part to assist her, lam 1 of opinion, that: it may be closed in less time, and with less cost than s generally sup posed. ' v-i ,5 v The Major informs me that he contemplates some experiments looking to the collection of driit sand upon the low, nat beach to the south, and if successful, and he shall he authorized to do so, will inaugurate &; system of cultivating grass, shrubbery and trees upon the beach with the view of holding the sand, and strengthening the beach against incursions or wind or .water All of which is respectfully Submitted. t H.
