AT last the wishes Of the people are a.

feelings Of no ordinary pleasure, that we
learn from The Washington Globe. that this
great National measure. has received the
sanction ofthe Representatives Of the peo-

lions introduced by MrLroN Brown. OF
Tennessee, were substituted instead OF
those reported from the Committee on For
eign Relations. and passed the House BY
vote Of 1870. to 95; majority %. We
have not seen the Resolutions, but we learn
from Washington papers, that their main
features are. first, that new State. to be
called the State Of Texas, is to be formed
out of the Territory ofTexas: and that the
people of Texas are to draw up Consti.

NepIy.
In reply to our correspondent q" Rich
,nond." we would say that we have made
such inquiries as we thought would enable
us to answer his heterogeneous.
10 query lst, we answer that there are
two Bars. the main Bar and the New lne,
Bar; ON the former Of which the depth of
water is from ii TO Is feet; on the latter
from IL to IL feet, according to the state
of the Tides.
In answer to No. 2. we state that there
are shoals some seven miles below the
town. ever which vessels can pass draw
ing III feet. in ordinary tides, and IL 10
l2a in Spring tides. We learn that The
system Of Iigh,erage has been long since d
bandoned.
10 No. 3. we say that Limestone is the
only kind Of rock in the vicinity OF Wi
inington, and that, as it would require {
good deal ofexpense to prepare i, for bull
ding purposes. brick would be as cheap
or perhaps cheaper.
TO No. 4, We do not know exactly the
amour, OF Cotton brought to Wilmington
per annum. but we feel assured. tina. i
there was demand crea,et for that article
by the operation Of Factory. an abun
dance would soon find its way to Whining
ton. to supply sucl, a demand. Besides
Charleston, one Of the bes, and cheapes
Cotton markets in the South, would al
ways he a, hand; and as the freight from
that place to " ilming,on. is so very low
it need hardly be set down in the calcula
ton OF expenses.
!. No. 5, the health Of W ilmington, durin,
the summer and fall months. is as goo.
for white laborers, as that of any othe
Southern atlantic town. Indeed. it j
said by our most distinguished mediea
men, that the fevers which prevail Ter
during that season, are less fatal than .hos
Of other places, similarly situated.
No. 6. We do not knew that in the In,
mediate vicinity Of Wilmington. there i
much water power suitable for manufac
turing purposes; at short distance, how
ever, from town. there are large stream
which would be very available.
j Thus, we have answered, as we'll as W
could. under the circumstances, the Que
rles OF our correspondent. In addition
we would say. that we know of no loca
, ton in North Carolina, where capital coul
! be invested in a Cotton Mandatory ,

Eul0Sy on tile Life and CharAc. 81 OF the late
JudSe CASTOR.

We have jus, finished reading all ra-
ZION, delivered before the members OF the
Fayetteville bar. by the Hon. Rober,
Strange, OH the life aud character Of Judge
CASTOR. Seldom, or never. indeed We do
not remember the time hen we have been

figured upon its theatre. Never, perhaps.
was The truth of this observation more clear
y exempIitied than in the case OF William
CASTOR. When the pen of the future His
lOrian comes to delineate The events which
have marked the career Of North Carolina
during almost the last half century. the
name of William CASTOR will be found TO
illumine almost every page he writes. His
Is name. tile mention Of which. even in
the remOtest corner Ufonr Union, III which
a North Carolinian may have found his
way, never fails to excite in his bosom a
thrill of warm aud generous pride, akin to
that hich he feels when his own .nyct!
old North State is mentioned with partial
ity.
There is one thing connected with the
name Of Judge CASTOR. which always
struck US as we'll worthy of observation;
and which we think should have its infu-
ence with every one, but especially with
the young and inexperienced. There were
two subjects on which it is well known
that Judge CASTOR entertained opinions al
variance u ilh the most of his felIow-Ci,i.
zens, religion and politics. Subjects, too,
which occupy the attention Of the people
OF this country. as mut h, if not more, than
any others. TO the investigation of bolI,
of them, he brought the faculties of mind,
in the endowment of which, nature had
been extremely protligal, and which he
had cultivated with an assidui,y and perse.
verance which placed him as a scholar and
a statesman, on all emIntnce which few in

Early in life he embraced the ,enels OF the
Roman Catholic religion. At the age o
nearly seventy. full of years and full oil
honors, he died conscientious Romal

BLIGHT IN PEAR TREES.

A friend has just mentioned 10 US a remedy
for this formidable disease in pear trees, which
he has found e%aectual. On discovering the blight
which had become general on his trees, he i'm
mediately cut off the branches il most affected,
then scraped the bark from the trunk and limbs
thoroughly, TO the live bark, and applied a strong
ley from wood ashes. Although this bark bled
.P%rotusely in many places, and was turned ID d
dark brown on applying the ley, the trees imme-
diately put out deep green leaves, and have since
been entirely recovered. The common ship
scraper was made use Of in scraping the ~trees.
The result of the above treatment would scenic

HUSBANDS AMI WIvEs.-A Swiss journal fur.
nishes us with the following romantic tale ofreal
life:--"A married couple, who had for several
years lived in a state of anti-conjugal harmony
determined TO part, & made an appointment with
each other TO meet at a %notary's to sign the deed
Of separation. To arrive at the Office of the
man of law they had TO cross a lake, and, as il
happened, they both embarked in the same boat
on their passage a storm arose, and the boa
was upset. The husband being a good swim
mer, soon reached the shore in safety. Or
looking around him TO see the fate of his fellow
passengers, he distinguished his wife still strug
Cling for her life, but in imminent danger. A
feeling of his early affection returned to him
and p%lunging again into the water, he swan tc
her, and succeeded in rescuing her. When she
recovered her senses, and learnt TO whom she
owed her life, she threw herself into his arms
he embraced her with equal cordially, and they
vowed an oblivion of all their differences, ant
that they would live and die together!
