PROGRESS OF AN AMERICAN INVEN.
TJON

We understand that a large force of workmpn
are actively employed, at the foot of 3Olh stree,
on the North River, in building a new and larue
floating dry dock, for the communication of The
shipping of this port. The want of some incress.
ed docking facilities for the repairing the vessel,
needing repairs have been compelled to 90 TO sea
without them. The company that has undertak.
en- to build the new dock, has as we learn, select.
ed the plan Invented some years ago by Alderman
Gilbert of this city, known as the Balance FYoat.
ing Dry Dock, and expect to put it in operation
IN about four months. /: is a remarkable fact. nv
the way, that this admirable plan of dock, which
owes It's Invention 10 the ingenuity of one of our
fellow citizens, has within that short period al.
ready extended itself To several foreign countries.
as well as other ports in our own and has even
attracted The attention of several foreign govern.
ments, by which it has been adopted for their
Navies. And all these have had their orion in
The small dock built six years ago in this cily by
Alderman Gilbert, and now in use, for small YES.
sells, at the foot of Jefferson street. The inyen.
tor has, we understand, added various important
Improvements TO the original plan of the dock
and that which has recently been commenced is 10
be adequate to the docking of a ship Of 1000 tons.
The balance floating dock seems indeed to be rap.
idly superseding all other plans of ducks for re.
pairs. Large ducks on this plan have recently
been constructed at Charleston and New Orleans
w 'his conhlry, ana at Amsterdam, HavTe and
marsellles. in Europe. II has been adopted for
naval purposes by the governments of Holland
and France. Balance docks are also about to be
built at Rio de Janeiro and Havana. The one
now under construction in this city is to be lowed
round from the North to the East River. after its
completion, and to illustrate lis ability TO serve as
a : camel to convey heavy vessels over shoals OF
bars. we understand that il is the inten tion Of
The Company To tow it round with a large ship
IN, all sianding-a curious spectacle certainly for
The freqneGiers of the Battery. 1t is expected to
be completed in the course of the month of Feb.
ruaFy.

PERTINENT ANS WEIR.

" Who puts amen's wages down? Let me
tell you who,' said all old sailor at the Bethel.
II is the chaps who drink rum, not the ones
VIII" drink water no, not by a long shot. Us
them who run up a bill for board and sundrieS;
who do as | used to do, drink up or get charged
with drinking (t's all the same, shipmates,) the
lew sinners they earned the last voyage, and the
landlord wants the advance on another, immedl-
ateiy, and he goes and gets a ship, shoves Jack
aboard with a skin full and a few dudds, not
caring whether he receives a fair equivalent OF
not. Bat look al a sailor, who, like me, has been
a cold water man long enough to get a nest egg
IN the Seaman's Saving Bank, and has no one 10
lord 1t over him and say when he shall 90 to sea;
why he need not cut the wages down-no. he
can stay ashore ill the wages are somewhat fair,
ana Then choose his voyage, ship and officers"
Think of that. you who paironize rum holes and
then grOwl about low wages.

"A vigorous prosecution Of the War is now en-

WARNING.

Mr.. SPrull of Weldon, N. C.. warns all peopIe
against Two persons. one of whom reioices in the
name ot Anderson, alias Gibson, and the other
Dorr, alias La Feira. who came to his hotel ON
The 9Th inst. from Richmond, and who remained
IN his house three days, saying that they expected

This time they placed their panialoons one night
On The stairs with the pockets turned inside out
In the morning they alleged they had been robbed
OF 70 dollars. Search was instituted. but with NO
success, Tor the money. On The l1th instant, a
gentleman arrived at Weldon from Richmond, and
recognised The two persons as having been tried in
that CITY Tor entering rooms with false keys. On
being arTaigned they confessed that they had been
50 trIed, and that the object in putting their panta-
ICONS on me stairway was to make MIR. Sprull pay
10 them the amount Of the pretended loss. Mr..
oprnlI thus describes these individuals.
a." Anderson, alias Gibson. is a Young man ahou,
70 years of age, S feet 7 or s inches hipb. of GOOD
proportions and well made, black hair and ewes. of
dark complexion and brazen counienance. He was

THE BANNER TOWN

we learn from the Lexington Gazette that
there are upwards of four hundred Young peoDle
gong to school in that village, the whole ponn.
iallon OF which does not exceed 1900 souls And
we would also state that there are as MANY as
ftpe Literary Societies in The same placeui
what town south Of the Potomac can beat this
we know of no place in Virginia possessing
superior facilities for mental improvements tn The
beautiful village of Lexington-Lynchbure Re
publican.
The Editors Of the a" Republican, have done
the thing quite handsomely. Both of them have
lived amongst us, and are therefore able to sneak
from personal knowledge, of the ADVANTAGES.
which our Town possesses in an Educational point
OF view. Dor Institute, our College, our Female
Academy, our primary schools. our Literary and
Deoating Societies, give 10 Lexington a conse
quehce, and Importance which few Towns in the
Union can boast of. In addition to all these
lhings, we have lovely women, the most beauti.
