There is more blowing to the amount of commerce in New Berne than in any other town in the United States, said a gentleman a day or two since on being annoyed by tha continual whistling of the river boats. This may be so, but upon reflection we find that our steam boats have considerable to blow for. It is not the river boats alone that blow ; besides these we have the elegant Shen andoah here promptly two days in the week, the Goldsboro, the Stout, the Ex periment, the Defiance and the Elm City, that carry freights to points North, all do their sha'e of the blowing, be sides Meadows' grist mills, Ellis' rice mill, Dennison's cotton seed oil mill, Congdon's, Stimson's and the Radcliff sawmills, and Moore & Brady's can nery, Cawman & Thompson, Manwell & Crabtree's machine shops, railroad shops and E. O. Cuthbert's machine shop, all blow, and they all have some thing to blow for. Let 'em blow; they are a part of the life of the old town, and when we come to enumerate the amount of work they are doing We are surprised that they blow so little. The New Berne ana Beaafort Canal. Commodore Marshal Parks arrived on the steamer Shenandoah yesterday and will, in company withCapt. W. H. Bix- by, of the U. S. A., who has charge of certain river and harbor improvements in North and. South Carolina, and other citizens visit the New Berne and Beau fort canal today. The failure of the river and harbor bill at the last session of Congress has delayed the government work on the approaches to this canal, so that the work done by the company has not as yet resulted in any practical benefit to -the community. Mr. Parks and Capt. Bixby are going down for the purpose of making an examination and ascer tain if possible how to make the appro priation already on hand the most avail able. When the government work is begun on the approaches to the canal it will be but a short time before boats drawing five feet "of water can pass through. An effort is being made by lion. Thos. . Skinner to have this canal divested G of its local character and made of National importance. It it can be made a port of a great inland route from Maine to Florida there is probably some hope of obtaining an appropriation of some consequence. BRIEFS.

At 1:30 the Wash ington territory Admission bill was passed without substantial amendment yeas 30, nays 13. The Senate then ad journed until Monday. House. Bills were passed for the es tablishment of a light house at Croatan, North Carolina; for the construction of a supply steamer for the Atlantio and Gulf coasts', for a light-ship at the en trance to Chesapeake bay, and for range lines near Pensacola. On one light house bill, at the instance of Scott, of Pennsylvania, an amendment was incor porated repealing any law which pro hibits the employment of persons over forty-five years of age in the lighthouse service. The bill to establish sixteen additional life-saving Btations gave rise to some discussion, opposition to it being based upon the fact that life-saving stations already authorized to be established oouid not be constructed for ten years- Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts, made an earnest appeal in favor of the bill and it was finally passed. Adjourned. The Republican voters of the 5th Ward are requested to meet at the Samaritin hall on Queen street, near the corner of West street, Monday evening at 8 o'clock, April 2G, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for city coun oilman for the ensuing year. .1. w.
