WILMINGTON, II. C. SATURDAY DECEMBER 11, 1SC2. COMMir.CIAL FACILITIES. It gives us much pleasure to make known to the commercial community the facilities the port of Wilmington affords for the repair of vessels, which vu brought to our notice in passing along the wharves a day or two since, Id the case of the '. fcarque Wktis CW, Capt. Mitcheu., which ves sel came Into the port about the middle ot Octo ber, having been on her beam ends and lost ner nara. sails and rutins, with a full and vaiuaoie earro of drv Mods on board. The W.

There was no party purposes to answer by these publica tion ; Jt wa in conformity to law and "usage, and Mr. Fillmore would hare been justly censurable to bave done otherwise. , If is pretended that this exposure may affect our fruitions' abroad. Not in the least : but it will ' auve to eulignten the peopte at home, in regard to' the practices of politicians, when assured of " party support in all things, right or wrong.

For our part,, we do not believe that there is a man on earth Who loves our America and regards the prosperity and security of our Institutions, but what gives it a most unqualified and uncondition al disapproval. .It was not so criminal an act as Tould be the consummation of the iniquitous scheme of filibusters and others, who would seize the land and plunder the commodities of another nation simply because they desire to possess them. Their rules and principles are tlte same that gov ern the highway robber, who plunders the travel ler of bis money, dimply because he wants it and . has the power to take it. But still it was an un justifiable act, and one that ha4 no precedent in our history or sanction, from our Constitution.

' It will be admitted, to say the least of It, that the Wlk administration stretched the prerogative to its utmost tension. With these facts before us, we cannot view the attempt, to cast odium' upon the admioiitration of Mr. Fillmore, on account of the publication of tins correspondence otherwise than as eootempti I V mean j as an effort basely to misrepresent and i aider the living!

We bave before ns the report of the Hon. C. Ml ConaAO Secretary of War, which accompanied the President's Message. We regret our want of space to present tills interesting Document. We can on ly refer to the'tuost important heads. The efforts of the Department for the defenoo of onr frontier, and those of Mexico, from the In dian tribes bave' been attended with more than usual success. In New Mexico the depredations of the Indians hare bcon entirely arrested. Other tribes have agreed to a peace. The attempt to cultivate farms by tho troops bas, but in few Instances, during the past season, been attended with beneficial results. The troops have been engaged in building barracks and oth er works, and the farming experiment ia still ex pected to be attended with success. The expenses of the Army bavo been considers bly reduced, notwithstanding the unusual activity of the troops daring the past season, aud the fact that so large a portion of them are stationed on the remote frontier 8,000 out of 11,000. The Secretary recommends the setting apart of a portion of territory for the exclusive occupancy of the Indians, to prevent tho collisions which al ways attend the proximity of the two races, pro duced, generally, by the aggressions of the stronger on tho weaker. The population of New Mexico is estimated at 61,000, and its real estate at 82,700,000. To pro tect this small population a large military force is required. He calls the attention of the President to the do- fences of the scacoast, and asks for appropriations to complete works already commenced. Ho also notices the omission of Congress to make the usu al appropriations for the purchase of the heavy ordinance used in coat defence. He recommends that permanent arrangements be made for river and harbor improvements. The Secretary speaks of the good order and dis cipline that prevail at the Military Academy, and expresses his conviction of the benefits which re sult to the service from that institution. He asks the provision by law against impositions of minors, who enlist and subseqently plead non age as a ground for discharge. In consequence of the great number of remote military posts, at which troops aro stationed, the number of medical officers has been, for several years past, entirely inadequate to the service. This document is highly creditable to the tal ents and business habits of Mr. Conrad. NOMINATIONS. We see the papers are nominating candidates to fill the post of Judge, vacated by Judge Battle's resignation. We suppose we have as good a right to nominate as any ono else. If the Legislature wish to choose a man of sterling integrity and in disputable qualifications, we hope their attention will be directed to this quarter, and consider the name of William Augustus Wright, Esq., of Wil mingtor.. We tako tho liberty of stating that Mr. Wbioiit knows nothing of this nomination, as we have not said a word to him or any other person on the subject but we know tho Superior Court Bench cannot be better supplied from any part of the State. t:.c ; r,::r: , Second Third i. r i. .

We have received a copy of tho Report of tho public Treasurer of North Carolina, Daniel W. Courts, Esq., which is a document worthy of tho talents and faithfulness of that gentleman, in the discharge of his official duties. Wo regret that we cannot sparo space for its insertion, to which we would be impelled by personal as well as public considerations. The following exhibits the financial condition of the State ; Balance duo Public Fund Nov. 1st. 1852, Do. Literary Fund, $30,280 4fi 128,759 58 Which is disposed of as follows: Deposited in Bank of the State, Do. in Bank of Cape Fear, Receipts of members of Assembly, for advancements to them, and cash in the vault of the Treasury, 8105,040 04 88.190 39 75,306 16 1,543 49 8165,046 04 The Treasurer estimates tho receipts and dis bursements of the Treasury, from Nov. 1, 1852, to Nov. 1, 1854, from which the following aggregate is derived : Aggregate Disbursements, $451,688 20 Aggregate Receipts, 464,714 92 Balance in favor of Receipts, $13,026 72 Our claims on the General Government for ad vancements to our volunteers, hare been allowed, in answer to the Treasurer's inquiries at the pro per Department, and the funds will be forwarded in a few days. The Treasurer recommends a change in the form of the State Bonds, so as to make them payable to or bearer, with Coupons attached. We think this a very good arrangement, and one that will enhance the marketable facilities of the Bonds. COMMISSIONER'S TICKET JOHN McRAE, ' J. R. BLOSSOM, ' ,. '"- T. H. HOWE', - - V r : - : L. II.

Mr. Editor : In common with the friends of Internal improvement generally, you will beplea sed to learn that this road is now completed as far as Wilson Depot, on the rail road, and In success ful operation. It is already paying a fine per cent the Company are much pleased with its operations, and it promises to pay much better still after a- while. No doubts are entertained, even among sceptics, of the success of the enterprise j it has worked its way alone through much prejudice and opposition, as is usual with schemes of interna' improvement in our State, until even its worst en emies at first, are now becoming its fastest friends. In the construction of this road great credit Is due to its able and efficient President, R. L. Myers, Esq., of Washington ; his heart and soul has been in tho enterprise from the first, ahd at much self sacrifice he bas attended to his duties faithfully, persevered in the work with much judgment, and shown himself to be a practical and skillful offl- w . 1 . S SV41 1 I. cer. Honor to wnom nonor is aue. ine stock holders surely will not be unmindful of their ob ligations, nor the public fail to appreciate his ser vices. But our main purpose is to call attention to the superior advantages now afforded b this road for travel between Wilmington and Washington, In this Stato, via Greenville. A recent trial ofthis new route enables me to confidently recommend it to travellers : you can now go from ono to the oth er of these towns via Greenville for about half the expenso of the old route via Tarboro', in about half tho time, and with much more comfort than you could go in the rickety old stage, that bas so long run between Rocky Mount and Washington. Verily the times are improving, and old North Carolina is at last about to shake off her Rip Van Winkleixni she ought to have done it long ago. Stopping at Wilson, going North or coming South, . . T . ITT . .. 1 I you there una iiowara mswausnew, ercgaut Stage ready to convey you over the Plank Road, in somo few hours to Greenville, distance 37 miles, faro $2,50. Then you find a steamer waiting to take you down Tar river to Washington for one dollar, iu two or threo hours. You can now go from Washington to Wilmington, or from Wilming ton to Washington in about twonty-four hours, by taking this new route. It affords me pleasure in this connection to speak in just terms of praise of the Steamboat travel between Greenville and Washington. The steamer Oouid&s, constructed by her enterprising owners, John Myers & Sons, of Washington, runs regularly and affords excel lent accommodations; the fare is excellent. She is under the control of Captain DcSand, one of the most attentive, clever, and gentlemanly Cap tains that can be found any where ; he is faithful to his duties, and those who travel with bim once will not forget his urbanity aud kindness, but rather regret to part with him a long life and health, prosperity apd happiness to the skillful Captain of tho steamer Oneidas. The cous trust ion of this plank Road promises much improvement to the towns of Greenville and Washington. The spirit which started and bailt it is deserving of all praise. Already are the friends of the road surprised at the great amount of produce that comes to these places' for trans portation. Already do tho vital energies of Green ville and Washington begin to shew that they feel the enlivening effects of an increased and an in creasing business. Already is the busy hum of trade seen and felt in places along their streets that were but yesterday, dull, inactive, lifeless. Let the citizens of these towns get a little mora enterprise, and we shall soon cease to hear them sighing for business and for. new homes in the West and South. Let them but havo tho enter prise and liberality of Wilmington, which has set her sister towns such a bright and glorious exam ple and all will be well. S. S. S. Dec. 7th, 1852. Rio de Janeiro, 13th Oct., 1852. Wo are now having much rainy weather, but with it little or no sickness. On Sunday last, the American flags In the har bor were at half-mast, caused by news of the wreck of brig Emily Jane, and the death of Capt. Fox well, her commander, well known and muck es teemed as an old trader to this port An awful tragedy occurred hero last night a father murdered bis daughter, son, and an En glishman. The young girl had been wronged. The father discovered her shame ; swore death to her seducer, the Englishman found him with his daughter ; drove a bullet through his heart and dashed madly at his daughter with a knife. The son and brother placed himself before ber and re ceived tbo blade of the knife in bis sido. The fa ther, seeming almost a maniac, wanted more blood to wash out the stain npon bis daughter's honor, and, with another plunge, stabbed her in the heart The Englishman died immediately ; the son lived three hours, and the daughter still breathes, but will not live. The fathor, a highly respectable Brazilian, gavo himself immediately up to the authorities. 1 S J i T COUSIN. The Editor of the Carolina Patriot, Mr. Rich ard B. Parker, says he calls Mr. Holden, of the Standard, cousin, because he is the ugliest man in Raleigh. This may do for Weldon, but tho Edi tors of Wilmington cannot claim relationship with any on that score. , INCREASE OF THE SLAVE TRADE IN CUBA. All accounts represent a Urge Increase of 'tha slave trade in Cuba, at which, U Is alleged, the Spanish officials wink..

Mkriden. July 26, 1861. Messis. Reed, Bates St Austin Gentlemen I take tbe liberty to express my gratitude to you, for the good effects produced on me by the use of the Oxygenated Bitters. My constitution has been greatly impaired, by Typhus and Billions Fevers j and, for four years past I have been troubled with A severe cough, and discharged greatly from the lungs, my brea thing very laborious, and much distressed on my left side, near, and around the heart, so much so, that tbe noise and whistling in my chest, would wake me out of a sound sleep, tbo difficulty still increasing upon me, when my breath almost whol ly ceased. I was carried in a chair from my business to the house, and no one who saw me thought I could long survive. I tried a bottle of tbe Oxygenated Bitters, recommended by a friend apd in five or six days, it greatly relieved my cough and hard breathing. I am not well, but able to attend to my small busjuess, and as thousands are suffering from similar complaints, I therefore recommend it to the public as a valuable medfcjne, Respectfully yours, ABEL D.
