Gen.. Ransimi is having some large scows built for the purpose of transport ing'stone to Shackleford Point. Our Mayor. Mr. J. J. Royal, arrived from your city yesterday, where he has spent the Spring in the buying and ship ping of fish. There were twenty-five barrels of mackerel shipped from here yesterday to, . Northern markets, looking for "Northern capital.-'' : ; There are a series of meet ings going on in the M. E. Church here, conducted by the Rev Mr. Puckett, who has been assisted by the Rev. Mr. Watkins of the Straits precinct, and the Rev. Mr. Utley, a Baptist minister. There have been ten or i twelve conversions, and a great deal of interest shown by large congregations indicate a still greater work. Dr. Brooks, Professor of Natural His- t in t)(0 Jolm Hopkins University of Baltimore, is now at Beaufort,, and ex pects twelve or fourteen students to spend the summer with him in studying the marine animalcuhe of our harbor. He has the nicest little steam lauuch I have ever seen; he went up the Sound yesterday, and as he passed saluted me with his whistle, which sounded like a There aro-now two barks lying at the depot with rails for the Midland the Noah and Rome. Tlie former has been in nearly a fortnight, and they have not commenced to unload her yet. The lat- ter came in Saturday, and just as she ast anchor her crew had a free fight, in which I understand both the first and second mates came off with black eyes. She is an American vessel with a mixed crew shipped for the voyage across the pond" and the Captain will discharge the'm here'. Mr. Alex. Potter, one of the editorsof the Telephone of Beauiort, gave Dr. M. F. Arendell six cuttings of the cotton wood tree of the West. Said cuttings were from Kansas and looked dried and dead when the Doctor put them out, but: every one of them budded, and I think three of them bid fair to live. The foliage looks very much like our poplar. Mr? Potter says they are rapid growers and they certainly appear to bo from the Doctor's samples, and he wants to in troduce them in this country for shade trees, thinking they will be able to stand ouryinds. ! i The new management of the Midland I Road have issued an order charging twerity-nve cents to carry any one from the train to the depot, or from one hotel to the other. The conductors of the road have been bothered with crowds of boys, and I am sorry to say sometimes;. , the Texas coal lands, which ladies, boarding their cars at the upper hotel and taking a dead-head ride, and tjliis order was issued no doubt to break lip this nuisance and not intended to de bar those who had business at the depot or who wanted to go to Beaufort via the depot, but the conductors have no dis cretion in the matter, or if they have are afraid to use 'it for fear of driving 'Northern capital out of our poverty stricken country." If the rate of fare was made five cents for it is only, a mile the road would get clear of .this nuisance and at the same time do a le gitimate business. ... r: A Bit of History . While sojourning in New Berne sev eral months ago, we stumbled across quite a singular bit of history which we think has never appeared in print before, concerning one ' whose life and labors will always remain a bright ornament to the pages of our State history; ;-' . We were informed by the venerable., sexton of Cedar Grove Cemetery that the remains of Judge William Gaston rested in a mahogany coffin ' upon the floor of a subterranean chamber beneath the marblemonolith erected to his mem ory, and that, when the ' remains 'were placed here, the room was richly enr "pPted, and the law-library, the mahog any arm-chair and writing table, with silver ink-stand, writing quills, .and silver candlestick of the deceased, were brought hither and placed ""with Hie bodv of their dead owner. If there is anyone still living, either in New Berne or elsewhere, who re members the circumstances attending Judge Gaston's interment in this vault, and can throw some light on the cause of the eccentric mode of burial, our columns are open to him, and we would be highly pleased to have him favor us with a communication. New South. Greensboro Collc&c. We were pleased to see Gov. Jarvis in this city Friday night, the guest of W. F. Kornegay, Esq., where quite a num ber of our citizens called upon him. The Governor came here for the laudable purpose of inaugurating a movement by which the Greensboro Female College property may be saved to the North Carolina Conference. The property is advertised to be soul to satisfy a mort gage debt of about $22,000. We are plans are thought feasible, and tho sue- cess so far gives assurance that the ar rangements will be completed. The proposition is that ten leading citizens shall purchase the property to the use of the Confidence, by giving their notes to the North Carolina Railway Company, which now holds the first mortgage. The notes to bear inierest, payable an nually, and principal to mature in-18S8. It is hoped by that time the property of the college is such that no difficulty will be encountered ;in meeting the pay ments, without haying to pall upon tlie gentlemen upon whose generosity tlie saving of the property now depends. Messrs. E. B. Borden and W. F. Korne gay have pledged themselves to assume one-tenth of the obligation. Mr. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, will take one-tenth, and the Messrs. Gray, Odell, Little, Rob bins and others are expected to assist, so that the Governor feels quite confi dent of carrying out the arrangement. Ooldnboro Messenger. Wayne Court. The Supremo Court is hard at work in its endeavor to get through with the criminal docket. The case of most im portance, so far, is that of Bill Bridgers, charged with tlie killing of Jake Best. The parties are colored. The trial com menced Thursday with the following excellent jury: 1. J. Kelly, hd. !s. Dees, K. J. Overman, Thos. JNcweii, J. a. Gardner, V. R. May, Jas. , H. Barnes, Levi Strickland, Isaiah Seymour, Chas. Winn, Arch. Grantham and Irvin Exum; the three last are colored. Air. H. F. Grainger assisted Solicitor Gallo way in the prosecution, and A. K. Smedes, Esq., defended the prisoner, assisted by ex-Judge W. J. Clarke. The trial was ably conducted on both sides, but it is due Mr. Smedes to say that he made a strong fight for his client, and his management of the case is highly spoken of by the older members of the bar. The speeches were made by Capt. Swift Galloway and Mr. Grainger for the prosecution and Mr. Smedes for tlie defendant. The trial consumed three days. The case was given to the jury, after a clear and comprehensive charge by the Judge, Saturday evening, and in less than an hour they agreed upon a verdict of manslaughter.

CONKMNO: ' Af(AIX -THE DEPARTMENT OK AdRI CTlrVKK -SHALL WE HAVE NATIOX A f. H'litJO SCHOOLS? . ' From our rcRiilar Cojresjiondent.l WAKMXGToijy May 13, 1882, ' - There has been considerable gossip during tho week relative toa very'"ini portant chanse in the Cabinet." It js said that the President wishes to have Mr. Conklina at the'head of his Cabinet, and that tl.c: present cretftrj Mr., Frelinghuysen, is to be seat to England, as. successor to Mr. Lowell, and that Mr. l onklmg is to take his place; ' If this change is intended, if will hav to lie made soon, because both appoint ments must be confirmed by the Senate, which will not remain ' long In .ses sion. The Senate is well up with its work, and if the House .were equally forward, there would bc.no reason for continuing the session lonccr than until the middle of June. The families of some Senators and members have al ready departed for their homes, or for slimmer resorts, though, as yet, we have had very little of the "etherial mild ness" that poets attribute to this season of the year. A ..bill making' the Agricultural De partment one of the Executive Depart ment's 'of the Government passed the House on Wednesday by a very huge majority, and, if .this bill passes "the I Senate, as it is thought it will do the Commissioner' of Agriculture will be-1 conic, a member of the Cabinet, with, the title of Senelary of Agriculture. Who will be promoted to the' hew Cabinet oflic.p, in case this bill becomes a law. has not yet been the subject of liiuch speculation. The present head of the Bureau is very popular; but there will no doubt be other applicants for the nlace with its enhanced dignity. , The Cabinet of the President now consists of seven members, having charge;' re spectively, of the War, Xavy,: State, Treasury, Interior, Justice, and Post ollice Departments. Some other civilized countries have twelve Executive Depart ments, comprising, besides the above named divisions, Agriculture, Educa Manufacturcs, and tion, " Commerce Public Works. There is a bill , before Congressap propriating $10,000,000 for purposes of education, to be distributed to the several Stales and Temtorios jn proportion to tlieir .illiteracy as shown by the late census, it this bill shall be passed, it will be a step toward the assumption by tlie .federal rovcrnmcnt ot the cduca tional function that is. now divided by the the Public School Systems of tlie various Slatos; and, at no distant day, we niav have another Cabinet Ofliaer. to be known as the - Secretary of Public Instruction.' There could be much said for and against such a measure. The old question of State Rights would be revived. The denion bl" centralization would be .paraded by the. press, and on tlie stuni'it; but, if' the' big Leviathan Jumbo . establishment, known as the Government Printing Office, could be only be used to print cheap arthmclics aud spellers, instead of the. millions of useless documents now thrown out, 1 think the country would profit by it. At least one advantage would be gained by the consolidation of our hydra-headed educational system. A uniform set of text-books be introduced throughout this broad land ; and a homogeueous method of instruction and expression, inculcated in youth, would tend to the destruction of local prejudice, . and promote the sentiment of national eohesiou. Another advantage would be tliat all school book asrents would die of starvation. Sparks From the Telegroyli.
