It will be seen that tuition is free to all bona fide resi dents of the city, and the rates for non residents are very low. It will also be observed that all applicants for admis eion, whether resident or non-resident must obtain a certificate from the Sec " fetary. This is necessary in order that the Superintendent may' know, who ehould pay tuition. We hope to see full turu-out on the first day. l?lrt Cotton In New Berne Market.

Ilaskins, .Esq.v weighed 500 uirTimn i pnema no Tnn w t n .n We have often thought it a matter of Old Times. . ; We very often hear some of our older citizens speak of the "times not being like they used to be," and they gener ally do it with a sort of leaning to the idea that the "old times" were the best. No doubt but the generation that pro ceded them thought about the same thing, viz: hat the old way of doing things was better than the new fangled notions of to-day. Now let us go back about two generations and see how the times were in New Berne. - In looking over the old dusty records in the Register's office we find an entry the minute docket of the county court in 1741 noting the , application by Baptist to be allowed to build a church In New Berne. Instead of granting the application these applicants, were all publicly whipped, bound over to keep the peace and required to give bom for their good behavior, and also' to take the test oath. ; . . ? r V' While these ' extreme, we might with propriety say ' now, bacoarows measures were being taken to prohibit freedom of conscience in 1741, we find that in 1747 a contract was given to John Bryan to build a jail for Craven county 30 feet long, 16 feet wide. and 10 feet pitch for, 1200 pounds, which would be about $8,000 in U. 8. currency. The object of government in those days seems to have been to oppress the people. ' , .WASHINGTON ITEMS, ;'k Fron Watch-Tower.J; r Joseph Siterson, during a conversa tion with us in our office this, week, said there were 30 brandy stills in Mar tin, and 6 in Beaufort. We desired to ascertain the owners, but as he correct ly said, the parties did . not care to have flheir names advertised. ;, Rev. N?

He has certificates from three parties exonerating hini from the charge. J t i Dr. Howard, who claims to be from the - lower part of Martin near the Washington county line, has been sell ing roots, shrubs, , herbs,; etc., in town at -different intervals without lioense. The sheriff demanded his license last Friday, and the doctor politely informed him that he had nene and should get none. The statute makes it a misde meahor to sell Indian medioine without a tax, so Dr. Howard will have to await the action of the Grand Jury Since the above was in type, he has been released on his own recognizance. The appearance of a female on Main street one night last week, between the call attention to the following ad mirable criticism written by a gentle man of our acquaintance who is of searching literary acumen and stored with a wealth of all polite learning which renders him a just and instructive critic of this book ;. We offer the com mentary without other suggestions than those w hich the reflective reader will derive from' its perusal, and trusting that it may be an inducement for some to learn an interesting page of their country's history told in its poetry: "It is for a ' charity that commends itself to every Southern heart indeed, to every generou heart In America the education of Southern girls. Some of the paems are beautiful well worthy to find in a cultivated people audiouce 'lit and not few, ana, in some degree, not unworthy the genius, heroism and devotion they celebrate, and certainly such as Southern taste and patriotism 'will not willingly let die.' They are not battlo-scenes. Contemporaneous poetry or that sort has generally been very unsuccessful. Hohenlinden is perhaps, the only English lyrical com position that has added effect to the simple narrative of battle. Even Addi son, with the aid of an angel 'to ride the whirlwind and direct the storm. labors in vain with his 'gazette in rhyme,' as Dr. Warton called it. And so, too, the bards who sung of Waterloo tho'someof them high poets, 'duly seated on the immortal hill.' Even Sir Walter, the most Homeric of all the bards since Homer, with every excite mcnt that present events can Impart to genius, makes tame work of the charge of the 'Old Guard' of Napoleon, and is quite unable to rekindle the blaze of poetic fire that swept down with the Scottish foe upon tho field of Flodden. The truth is, that while the real interest of tho real battle remains, it rejects poetical varnish and inflation. The Waterloo of Childe Harold is certainly noble and sublime, ft is not the battle however, but beautiful and solemn re flections connected with it. lhe writers of these poems have judiciously shun' nod the fatal dangersof poetical battles. Thoy have selected, instead, striking in cidents and impressive associations of tho war, and presented them with ad mirable beauty and finish, with touch ing pathos or spirit-Burring fervor. The book-indeed deserves as the publisher claims for it to be read .by every Southern Are-side, We will mention, particularly, only a few of. these poems. 'The Conquered Banner,' by Father Ryan, a Catholic Priest, of Knoxville, Tennessee, has much tenderness and pathos.. The reply to it, by Sir Henry Haughton, is most happy. The 'On to -Richmond,' after Southey's march to Moscow, is a fluent and animated specimen of wit in verse with ninny clever turns of riiynio and metre.. Being no admirer of Tennyson, we think the night charge of the twelvo hundred through Baltimore, to arrest Kane, quite as spirited as the original. As a sorious composition, 'Cannon to right of thcm'-r'cannoh Uto left of them' seems to us a very, cheap Bort of lyric fire and fury. But, as burlesque, we think there is merit in the account of the lawless invasion of St. Paul's Street law-quarters Houbpr to right of them, House tolmtof them, Law-books In Dome o( them. , i-i Btlll they march onwnrJ I The 'Blessed Hand.' bv Mr. Teackle Wallis, of Baltimore, is, wo suppose, the best thing in the book.'.- The subject In that regard, we the London Times can see in him, now, the hero of a fallen cause, 'the most faultless and admirable hero of history,' it is no wonder that to the people of the South he should be , ' nrvaflt of the need f Iossoh of the young I , Whom gages venerate and hards adore.

A Northern writer has said that 'Stonewall Jackson's .Way' will live with the English language. It owes some of its popularity to the fine music it is get to. The 'Lone Sentry,' which celebrates his generous and noble devotion in keeping guard alone, before the first battle of Manassas, while his wearied soldiers slept, is a fine subject; and suggests, appropriately, the spirit of the translated hero still guarding the camp, like the tutelar deity of the my thological apotheosis. , "The soul of Jrtekeon stalks nlirond, And guards the camp to-night."
