Ihirim iiwfeev (Musette. LOCAL DEPARTMENT. LOCAL DOTS. _ The Steamer Clyde arrived on Tuesday cvenii'-H and llf, P ftl ' teil Dn Wednesday. -We understand there is a large hotel to be built at Doboy. —The Steamer Daisy averages six hundred passengers a month. —James K. Clarke, Esq., and family, left on Sunday for Quebec, where they intend spending the summer. —lt is thought that timber will be coming down until the middle of July. —TnE shipments of timber from this Port since the first of January has been immense. ext wee k we will publish a statement giv ing in full the number of feet of timber ship ped and by whom. —We are informed that the credit of sav in" several buildings at the recent fire in Brunswick, was partly due Captain T. G. Clarke, who was one of the fir3t on the grounds. He had his coat nearly burned off him in his attempt to save the buildings near by. —The weather has been very warm during the week, and “local dots” are as scarce as honest Congressmen. However, we have high hopes of something “turning up” soon, mid whenever it does our readers will know of it. * —Capt. W. Robert Gignilliat, was ab sent part of the week in Savannah. lie re turned on Thursday. _Mb. Moses Daniel returned on Tuesday from a week’s trip up to Hawkinsville. He reports everything as being very dull in the up-country. The staunch'"®! m of Messrs. Atwoods & Avert, have been making large shipments of corn by the Steamer Clyde during the week. They do a heavy business. —We learn that Mr. Krauss, of Brun swick, lost two of his children a few days since, at Jekyl Island, by drowning. —Just at present is the time to subseri e for the Gazette. This is also a good time to advertise. Take advantage of the dull times and advertise —no one ever lost anything by it yet. —We understand that the corn crop is very good in this county. Cotton is not so favorable. —There was a good prospect of rain on Wednesday, but alas, it did not come, and everything is very dry. A good shower at present, would considerably help things. —SußSciiißEits failing at any time to re ceive the r Gazette, will please call at this office and get a copy. It is possible that we overlook a name once in a while. - Wf, wer- pleased to meet in our city, a f-w da vs since, ,Tohm H. McCceeouoh, the live and eute.-pvi in- lumber merchant (if limns,vick. Mr. H inf uins us that the temperance ca se is still flourishing and that there was quite an acquisition to the list r*e cenll , by the initiation into the Order of several prominent citizens of that place. —lt is gratifying to know that the stieets of our city are being cleaned and put in or (h r preparatory to the incoming si kly sea son. We hear also that numerous back yards are being cleansed of large amounts of trash and other filthy accumulations that have been lying in them for a long time. Ihe removal of old rubbish from the streets and yards at the proper time, will unques tionably, tend to diminish some of the local causes of sickness which often prevail. Ouu young friend O. Hopkins, one of the lumber measurers of this city, and who was recently married, was quite ill on Tuesday night at the Magnolia House, where he has been boarding for some time. Mr. Hopkins thinks he was attacked with a slight case of “sun stroke,” being constantly ex posd to the sun while measuring lumber on Tuesday. We are pleased to learn that Mr. H. has entirely recovered. We understand that one of our mer chants of this city, had a small amount of casA s'olen from him at some time during the week by one of the dusky tribe of Afri can extraction, njiu the fact being reported to Marshal Cabb, the thief was forthwith taken in charge by the vigilant Cabb, and hoarding and lodging furnished lnm until 1 "-S case could be attended to, but our mer chant learning that the money was still in possession of the colored gentlemen, re covered it and refused to prosecute the case. —Fbiday last was the day set apart for an excursion from this place to Brunswick, per steamerChme.but as there yrero bussiness prevented the possibility of thei? participating in a trip from Darien on that day, it was decided to postpone it to some future time. The kind and hospitable citi zens of Brunswick made preparations to give the excursionists a hearty welcome. The Cornet Band had been secured to furnish music afld a 'f' .il was fitted up in which to give the evening’s entertainment, while all looked forward to the arrival of the excur sionists with pleasure and happy anticipa tions. From all we could learn it was a sad disappointment to many of the young people of Brunswick owing to the fact that they had received positive information, as they supposed, of the visit to be paid them by the excursionists on that day, and fof the further reason that they did iot receive a letter sent them apprising them of thepost ponement of their visit. We hope, however, that the citizens of Darien will take imme diate steps to do away with the disappoint ment the good people of Brunswick sustained on that occasion, by getting up a grand excur sion at an early day from this place to the “city by the sea.” We can assure them that they will meet with a cordial reception by the citizens of Brunswick. For the Darien Timber Gazette.] The Urace of Perseverance. It has been said that our best friends are they who tell us of our faults. We si ould not quarrel with our friends, or where is friendship? The public will, therefore, kindly 7 receive a little advice about what has oecome an habitual fault, or what theologi ans might term, a sin. The fault is, that when a good work is undertaken, unless it be rapidly completed, all interest soon dies. Those among us who have originated any movement in the community, for any pub. lie object, are sadly aware of the truth of our accusations. The want of perseverance in this case is the fault of the originators. They are too early discouraged. ‘ Most schemes require more or less money, borne cannot subscribe any largo amount or give ready cash for others, it may not, at the time, be conve nient to give. Many doubt the expediency of the matter none decline to give. For ex ample, a subscription was once started to purchase a public hearse. But SIOO was subscribed and the subject was dropped. No one could doubt the necessity tor such a ve hicle, and yet there was not sufficient public interest to secure it. What was needed? The grace of perseverance- of persistency 7 , of dogged ness, if you will. Again, having enlisted public sympathy, and origamzed a movement, having been in successful operation for a sufficient time to prove that continuous success could be as sured, the whole thing has suddenly col lapsed. For example, our Mclntosh Rifle company, and our Telegraph line to Jesup. Our wealthiest aud most eneigetic citizens were interested in these associations. The telegraph is a social necessity that we have sorely missed. It may be said that these did not pay. True, but why confine the expense to a few 7, when a little exertion would have induced others to assist. We believe that both could have been retained for the benefit of the community, had there been the proper will. The grace of perse verance was wanting. What is this grace? It is this—doing whatsoever your hand find eth to do do with all your might. Ist. Suppose one starts a matter, say a church building, uud obtains but s2ooduring the winter Vvhut is he to do? Let the mut ter rest until the next winter, and try again. He may do better. Rest again, work again. In a tew years the amount needed is col lected. 2d. Why should an association disorgan ize ? With numbers and influence, if each individual member would heartily 7 exert himself in one or more months, or years, not only success, but interest in the success would be insured. If we acted thus in busi ness there would not be confusion and failure We have been accused of being fickle, not only in these, but also in social amenities. It has been remarked that whenever anew preacher comes to Darien, his church is thronged for a few Sundays, and then he is comparatively deserted. That, if anew fam ily removes to the neighborhood, much at tention is shown them tor a little while, and t .en they are, apparently, forgotten. it cannot be that we are so intensely sel fish. That we really feel no interest in any person or thing outside of our personal af fairs or liking. it maybe tint the proper man to make the proper impression has not yet been among us. This is a social, evil which we should eradicate. Until we do so we cannot hope for any public improve ments, any generous encouragement to im migration, or that esprit du corps so essen tial in honoring and being honored as a cit izen of one’s locality. Let us have ihe grace of perseverance to purify ourselves individu ally, front this fault and, then, as a com munity, our reformation will become evident by it local atlection which will move us to build handsome dwellings, have well-ordered streets, to fill our churches, and persist in every public enterprise that may benefit us socially and religiously as well as financially. The Church and Lodge are the only excep tions to the above remarks. But the church and masonry can never die : the one is of God; the other, the development of all that is good in man. Ripe Peaches. Our thanks are due Hofi. T. P. Pease, for a basket of delicious poaches, which he presented ns during the week. These peaches we presume, are an early variety, and are raised at the “Thicket” on Mr. P’s farm. They are a large and well-flavored peach, and are the first we have seen this season. We learn that several stores are to be built soon, in this city. X-fi, Col. M. L. Mebshon, of Brunswick, give us a call on yesterday; he reports every thing quiet and pleasant in the qjty. The Col. was here looking after matters connect ed with his profession. We learn tin.: the negroes who stole Eothschid’s money some tini6 ago and who have been incarcerated in the Savannah jail, will be examined on Tuesday. Hotel Arrivals. Magnolia House.— Jhon H.

We are surprised that a Government which superintends the affairs of its citizens with such paternal care as that of the North Ger man Confederation should not have a Con sul at this Port. Within the last twelve months there have been a large number of German vessels entering and clearing from Darien, and we are informed that several in stances have arisen in which the services of a representative of that Nation w 7 ere much needed and yet not to he had. Great Brit ain, Holland, and Norway regard it essential to the interests of their respective subjects having business relations with this port to maintain Consular Agents here, and the in terests of Germany are certainly second to none but the first of the above named pow ers. Beavers in Mclntosh. Many persons in this neighborhood are doubtless unaware of the fact that within seven miles of Darien there is a large colony of beavers in active operation. The main dam which these industrous and sagacious creatures have built is across ‘Kings Swamp on the plantation of G. W. Gignilliat, Esq. Its entire extent is between a quarter and a half mile in length. Trees of considerable size in the neighborhood have been felled by the sharp teeth of the animals. They have also constructed auxilliary dams to their main embankment, at different points in the swamp, and backed the water up for several miles. The effect of the water being backed up on the lands, is visible in the gradual death of a great number of trees, and event ually 7 , should the beavers continue their oc cupation, this part of “Kings Swamp” will be converted into an open lake. We sup pose that the deep swamps of the Altamaha have alway 7 s afforded such secure retreats from the attacks of man. that these animals had never been exterminated. Their exis tence, how'ever, was becoming traditional, until during the late war, when this section was entirely 7 abandoned, they 7 reappeared in the locality described. Up to the present time they have enjoyed quiet and undispu ted possession and have increased rapidly in numbers. pS" See advertisement of Jno. A. Philips, agent; also Messrs. Morris & Walker. We again return thanks to our friend Capt. Albert Sharp, for late Macon papers. pSr' Tlieie were several cases of mis demeanor before Hon. T. P. Pease, the pres ent week, for investigation. We learn that the wife of James N. Winn, Esq., of this county, died on Thurs day last, at the Ridge. The timber business of this place, fi r t te past week, lias been rather dull, but sti 1 several rafts came in which w; resold at good figures. We presume that the lumber and timber interest in this section will continue to be somewhat dull during the hot summer months, but will revive again in the fall, when the trade % in this bussiness will, r.o doubt, be bet ter than heretofore.
