—The Pilots and Commissioners arc
still in arms. A hearing will be given
both parties to-uay before His Honor

—Eight cars of Gulf Road freight

there is no reason why this place
could not be made the Wilmington of

needed to carry this, as well as other
points.
A Bear.—Think of it, ye mothers,
whoso children travel around loose, a
bear was seen in our streets on Sun
day eveniug last—he had a string
around his neck, however, and was
led by Mr. Jackson, of Montgomery,
Ala., son-in-law of our Mr. Ward, the
blacksmith. Mr. J. purchased him o*

several have been killed on that island
this season. Can’t some of our enter
prising hotel keepers down there get
up a big bear bant for the amusement
of the various Nimrods of the country?
Old Barnum could make such a thing
pay.
Young Bruin will leave for Mont
gomery to-morrow, where he will, no
doubt, be a curiosity to many.
Query.—When coffee sells at 30cts.
per pound, what proportion of gravel
is allowable?
—Caught after all.—Two negro
men, citizens of Pierce county, stele
several articles of clothing and two
brass watches from some other ne
groes, and started for Brunswick.
They were followed, on foot, by two
of the aggrieved party to this place,
captured, and turned over to the au
thorities. The stolen clothes were
found, and also the witches. The lat.
ter had been sold to one of our jewel
ers, If all offenders were traced with
the same amount of zeal, their num
ber might grow less.
Personal.—Mr. 8. C. Littlefield re.
turned by last N. Y. steamship from a
pleasant trip to the old homestead
among the New Hampshire hills. He
is looking well, and complains of tak
ing on only about ten pounds avoirdu
pois. He seems to think business os
brisk here, in proportion to capital in
vested, as elsewhere; but seems to feel
that we may confidently expect better
times at an early day. Wc learn from
him that the probabilities are that the
present steamship arrangements will
be slightly modified—to our advau-
Port Royal will bo dropped from
this line altogether, and have a line of
.her own, direct. Then steamers from
New York will touch here first, then
go to Fernandina, and returning will
touch here again—thus givivg us a di
rect line both ways, and shortening
the passage from N. Y. to this place
at least 48 hour.
Hurrah 1 we say, for Messrs, Little,
field k Tison for inaugurating such
measures for oar good, It is to suoh
men as these we must look for devel
oping our resources. They create bus
iness, and thus benefit all parties.
May they prosper, and may many
more such find a home among us.
Commissioners of Roads and
Revenue.
Homo folks take a special delight
in finding fault with other people. A
report is in circulation to the effect
that one of our Commissioners, at last
meeting, tried to "beat the Jailor out
of his regular foes” fop locking up
prisoners, but spent “three hours” of
the Board’s time in hunting up a law
to “allow himself commissions for re
vising tho Jury Box.”
We were present and can give tli e
bottom facts. The law allows the Jail
or a certain fee (60cte., we believe) for
looking, and the same for unlocking
tho door for each prisoner. In look
ing over the Juilor’s bill for the last
month, the Commissioner alluded to
noticed that some of the prisoners
were only in a: short time, and oske^
the Jailor if be would not be willing
jn such oases to take one fee only. The
Jailor answered that he wanted only
what the law allowed him.
The same Commissioner, shortly
after, asked the Sheriff if they were
not allowed compensation for revising
tho Jury Box. The Sheriff thought
probably they were, but said he would
make no bill; “Neither will I,”, said
the Commissioner.
Wo regret exceedingly to see this
fault finding ou the part of some
against the Board. All who know any
thing about their actions will admit
that they have striven hard to relieve
the county of the load of debt that
has been heaped upon her. If they
are let alone, they will surely bring ns
through all right. Then cease your
grumbling, friends, and give them
your hearty support. Let them feel
that you approve of their course, and
they will work even harder than now.
