We observe the Rppolntment of Major Du-

This appointment to s present post is not only
just tribute to worthy officer, but one calcu

profession is laudable ambition 10 excel, and
the only way to foster and cherish this spirit, is
to reward the meriloriYus and to punish the un-
worthy.

THE GRAMPUS.

The following letter from Gen CAMPBELL United
States Consul at Havana, in answer to letter of in
quiry addressed to him by the father of Passed Mid
shipman YOU Of the Grampus, not only extinguishes
all hope of that Inflated vessel but puts amend to the
idea at time prevalent, that she had gone in
pursuit Of pirates in the West India seas Charleston
Courier.
HAVANA, July II, 1873.
DEAR SIR Your favor Of the Goth June, via Ma
anzas is at hand, and the Hayne which will proba-
bly, sail in the morning, affords the earliest opportu-
nifty Of replying There needed apology for writ.
ing me- | fatter myself that sympathy with the suf
ferngs of others is too ndeliby stamped in the prin
ciples of my nature to esteem any thing trouble
which tend to alleviate distress; particularly
when those sympattes are enlisted in behalf of q
laher suffering with agonized suspense for the I'M
certain fate of cherished son. In reply to your
queries, have to state that no letters have been
written by me to the States giving notice Of pratica
vessels on the south side of Cuba, nor have at any
time requested that any national vessel should be sent
from the States to cruise the south side Of this is
land in search of pirates On inquiry of the Captain
General ne has informed me that an energetic Gov
ernor on the Isle Of Pines, who has the i'll and the
force to preserve order and punish malefacors. MY
only correspondence in relation 10 pirates land from
that imagined sprang the report which reached you)
was with the commander of Revenue Cutter acct
dentally here some months ago. At that time three
American vessels left this port with specie on board
intended for the purchase of cargoes on the south
side Shortly after they had sailed, report appa
rently well authenticated reached me that piratcs
vessel had been seen in the vicinity Of San Antonio
Believing in the probable truth of the report, sus
pected that pirate had been fitted out in this port
for the purpose of robbng the three American vessels
known to have on board large amount of doubloons
Under this impression made first verbal, and sub
sequently written, request to the officer in command
OF the cutter then in Havana to 60 in quest Of the pi
rate. From compliance with my request he was pre-
vented by what ne supposed more imperious duties.
No authentic intelligence of any piracy being recev-
ed here, it is now presumed that the report was one
of the many fctions fabricated here aud circulated
abroad This sir the extent of my correspondence
with any officer or agent of my Government on the
subject of pirates.
regret exceedingly that it is entirely out of my
power to furnish you any intelligence in relation to
the fate of the Grampus and her mertorous officers
and crew. Should it be my good fortune to receive
any information which could relieve your anxiety or
heal your wounded feelings it shall be Immediately
impaired to you.
With great respect, am, sir, your most obedient
servant, ROBERT B. CAMPBELL,
Consul U. S a. at Harana.

FLOOD In NORTH CAROLINA.

The Raleigh Register of Tuesday says Never
within the memory of that remarkable parsonage
the oldest inhabtant, was there such rain as Eel
Thursday and Friday last, in this region. 1t is
feared immense destruction has been done to the
corn crops on the low lands. Bridges fences, mills
and mill-dams have been washed away in every d.
rection. Six serious breeches have been made in
the Railroad between this city and Fores,vile, dis
lance of fifteen miles, one of which is about 100 feet
long, and the embankment 80 feet high. 1t will pro-
badly require from 200 to 500 to repair damage
Arrangements have been made for the transportation
of the mail and passengers, so that no interruption
will take place to the. travel"
We have similar accounts from almost every
quarter. The Globe has made many grevous
complaints Of late, of the failures of the mails,
without waiting reasonable time to know the
reason. Never, perhaps, were so many roads
inundated before.

ANOTHER WARRINGTON MoNUMENr.-The New
York papers speak Of magnificent monument to be
erected in that city to the memory Of Washington
description of it is thus given: The upper look
out will be 400 feet from the base, making the
whole height from the walk to the top of the crotchet
of the pinnacle 425 feet. The estimated cost of this
magnificent structure is not tosxceed 100000. This
is to be raised by contributions of dollar and
upwards from the people of the United States"
The LAvMIA-It appears that the murderers Of
Captain Charles Dearborn and his mate did not know
how to navigate the vessel land obliged to desert
her without avniling themselves of her value the
cargo, nor did they get much money gentleman
Of Alexandra, MIR. Conway, (now in New York; has
recognised the gold watch one that belonged to
the mate, MIR. Walter Nicholl, who is represented
as of respectable Virginia family, and young man
of property. His uncle is one of the firm of WyckoH
& Ncholl, in New York, and he has sister spending
the summer at Newport, Rhode Island. The vessel
belonged to MIR, Thomas, of Alexandria.
