An ERRoR. II appears in several papers, as
though the bill reported to the Senate for the
increase OF the Navy, appropriatos $685., 900
for building ten steam ships of war; 1880, 900
for completing national vessels, now on the

from Corpus Christi, dated the 2lst ut., states
that the extreme cold weather and sudden

Of considerable sickness among the troops
Pleurisy and rheumatism were the prevailing
complaints. About 400, out of 1000, were on
the sick list, which at one time numbered 600.
The weather, however, had become more favo-
rable, but the poor shelter and scarcity of fuel
still subjected them to much exposure.

THE OREGON QUESTION AT WAsHNGroN.-
We take the following extract from letter
written by Col. Webb at Washington, on Sa-
turday, fiom the New York Courier 1t gives
explicit information on Tire topic of absorbing
interest:
now desire to state for Inc benefit of all
concerned, and do 50 upon The Ue,y highest au-
Mority, that from the day on which MIR. Buch-
anan transmitted to Mr.. Pakenham his letter,
of think, the Goth August, in which he with
drew the proposition OF our Government and
virtually suspended all negotiation on the ques-
ton of Oregoa-from that day up to this time,
our administration have not received, directly
or indirectly, through Mr.. McLane, Mr.. PAX
enham or any other source lcha'erer, either here
or in London, the slightest overture or intlma-
ton of any kind or description whatsoever
This declaration is intended to cover the whole
ground; and to guard against msiconstructlon,
he who made this declaration added adj
ministration knows nothing of tfe intentions,
the wishes or the expectations of the British
Government, which is not equally known to
the whole people of the United States!''
England is quietly awaiting the action of our
Government, and in my humble opinion, the
question of Peace OF War depends solely and
exclusively upon the fact, whether we do or ID
not give notice of the termination of the con-
venton for joint occupancy. know there are
those who think differently, but they are very
few in humber; and nIne-tenths OF all who hold
such language, believe in their Utmost souls,

HIGH COMPLIMENT.

The following is an extract of letter from a
gentleman of distinction in Europe. to friend in
this City:

certainly one of very high character; even The
London press acknowledge its merits in this fe-
sPect The first impression created by it here
was unfavorabe to the peace of the two countries;
but better feeling prevails at present, and the
opinion now is that the Oregon question will be
settled peaceably.

atter years their authors have looked one way and
rowed another. Mr.. Walker looks and rows the
same way, and that too with the precision and
iorce OF Mississippi steam boat (as Col. Benton

THE GREENsBoRoUGH MAIL.

Heavy complaints from various points in The
Western part ofthis State, are constanly yreaching
gus, against the recent change in the Greensboro
Mai, by which that Mail leaves here on Tues
days instead of Wednesdays. Formerly, when
this Mail left here on Wednesday, it was. general
ly we'll filled, for it carried not only nearly all
the Raleigh papers, but considerable matter fur
nished by the Northern and Goldsborouoh Mails.
But now, under the new schedule, the Greens.
borough Mail leaves here just before The arrival
of the Goldsborough, which reaches to Charles
ton and beyond, and sweeps much of the Eastern
part of this State; and the matter thus brought.
is necessarily detained until Friday. when
double Mail, including this and Northern pack
ages for three days, as well as several newspaper
Mails from Raleigh, is made up and forwarded.
This arrangement, it seems to u.s. ought TO be
altered: if for other reason than that it throws
nearly all the Mail matter on Sundays and FRIDAYS.
In addition TO this, the new arrangement, we
nterferes with the horse-maiIs on the
route, so that at some places letters and papers
Ire thrown behind for six or seven davs We!
10 not think that this change of the schedule,
which benefits no one, as we learn, but the Con-
ractor beyond Greensborough, ought to be made
permanent and we respectfully ask the Post
master General to look more a.teitiveIy into the
natter, and, if practicable, give US the arrange

it may be said with strict truth, that he has been
faithful to his constituents to the State and to our
common country And whether he shall remain

Penitenfiary question.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
Raleigh, Feb. 1916.

by the fourth section of the "Act concerning

General Assembly, the Governor was.requlIed to
omen a correspondence with the Executives OF the
several States, ID which PeniteEtiaries "are now
established" with vew-to obtain "such statistl-
cal information, in relation to the profits and ex-
pendiIures of those Institutions, since the year
1885, as may in his opinion be necessary for the
information oIhe people, whose vote is 10 be taken,
on the adoption of that system of punishment. at
the election in August next; and tocause the same

previously 10 the election"
A circular letter, embracing the necessary inqui-
ries, was accordingly prepared, and copy sent to
the Executive of each State and Territory OF the
Union, during the last Autumn. PROMPT and sat
isfactory replies were in short time received,
from several of the SIates and among them some
of those most distant from US. But it is source
of regret that from others, in which the system is
known 10 exist, intelligence has been obtained.
Having delayed this publication longer than was
desired, with the hope of procuring the returns of
the year lS45, which has been in part realized, and
waited until there is no reasonable ground 10 ex-

SOMETHING. ABOUT THE WEATHER
Sunday last, kind reader, was the first day ol
March-to be sure it was, for this is,not leap year
(whatever the girls may say about it) and Satur-
day was the 28th and last day of February
March came in, shaking the sIcet and snow from
his garments-came in "Iike a"-there. now
The Register Of yesterday fairly used that saying
before we had time to print it, for we had it writ
ten-but no matter. We intended to say like a
Lion" but it will do just as we'll to say something
else, quite as ancient and thread bare, to wit
I" Winter still lingers,in the lap Of Spring" The
Register must not be vexed at this, for he knows
it is not often we write about "Autumn " and
Spring.
Old Mr.. Baily says, in his big Dictionary, that
"the antients used to paint March tawny, with a
fierce aspect, helmet on his head, leaning upon
a spade, holding Aries in his right hand and al
nlond blossoms and cions in his left, and basket
of garden seeds on his arm but the garden
seeds, we fear, will have to be handed over this
season to winged and showery April AS 10 the
" fierce aspect" that is still kept up, and on Mon
day. we fancied we almost heard the seet rauing
on his " helmet"
We have not seen, for long time, such snow
IS fell on Monday last. 1t has blocked up the
roads, so that it will be impossible for the wagon
'rs to make much headway for a day or two
md this in the South is quite unusual while the
Rail Road Cars from the North will come puff; !
ng olong-just when they get ready BY lhei
way, that word putting reminds US of the pipe d
nd now, with the Virginia weed to console us,'f
nd the bright snow to look at, let the sIeighs
ash on, and let "tawny" March be /" fierce" or
entle, as may suit him best

mendatiOns ofthe President be strictly adhered to;
in word let Great Britain see that we desire
peace, but that at the same Time we are determin-

the great measures they have so gloriously begun.

Opinions Of tie Farmers A subscriber in
Vermont, enclosing a remittance 10 the N. Y.

have free trade, right to dispose of the products

recommendation of this remarkable invention is,
that the features are perfectly deneatcd, while

slde-ls disposed to do justice to the present hon

marriage Announcement An argument is 60
ing on among Northern editors as to the proper
form OF announcing marriages. The most usual
style is TO proclaim the marriage of Mr. A. and
MISS g. This is wrong, for although both the
parties may have been married, it is left uncertain
Whether MI A. is married or Miss B. The use
OF The word with, is objected to as awkward.
Another usual form OF announcement is to state
the marriage of Mr. A. to Miss B. This, how
ever is alleged to be directly the reverse of right
aosoIu!e proprlety requiring the announcement to
assert the marriage of Miss B. 10 Mr.. A. The
argument for this which we find in the N. Y. Ga.
zelte, appears to be conclusive: -
Inc man IS not married to the woman, but the
woman to the man. Nothing of the mans state
is nor should be merged in marriage, but of the
woman there is and should be. The man changes
neltner tn position nor name, the woman does both
therefore 1t IS proper to say that the woman is
married to the man, and not the man to the woman
me same etiquette demands this which de.
