The May Celebration at TOpsuil.

We have received communication bearing the
signature of sObserver," complaining of the notice
of the celebration at Topsail Sound on the first of
May, which appeared in paper some two OF three
weeks since, the signature of A Subscriber,
as being incorrect in particulars. The
crowded state of our columns must be our chief
excuse for not complying with the request of our
venile friends Tupsuii We Will, however, make
Tho correction necessary and hope tins exp1anariO
will satisfy all concerned The chief difference be-
tween the two accounts is that the credit of the Gel
ebration was mainly given to the Rechabites, when
in fact it would appear that it is principally due tc
the School at Topsail. The School, Rechabites, and
ALL however, participated in the proceedings of the
day, and we learn that the whole affair of the
most interesting and praiseworthy character to al
concerned.
1t affords us much pleasure to learn that Topsai
Academy is in promising condition, and bids fail
to become of most fourishing institutions O
learning. The cause of Temperance is also rapidly
spreading in that section. Temperance and Educa
ton go hand in hand, and all good citizens desire t.

Our Relations WITH Spoins-helcaSc u INC Unity
Prisoners.
A despatch from New Orleans. dated on the 10Th
instant says:
Wehave received intelligence from Havana as late as the
10th instant and happy state that the Spanish gov
had yielded to the representations OF our Consul
aided by other American authorities, and after passing
through the forms Of trial. had liberated the america" 1s
oners, aco free to return to the United States
The government organs at Washington City also
assert that there is nothing in the aspect of affairs
between this country and Spain to warrant the ap-
prehenson of rupture between them at this time.
In regard to the fate of the Captains of the two YES
sels the barques Georgiana and Susan Loud board
which the prisoners were captured, but little is
known. The National Intelligencer denies that any
torture has been applied to them, as has been rumor-
ed vet, from various circumstances, it is believed
that the rumors have not been wholly without toun'
dation It is hardly probable however: that the
Spanish authorities will dare the consequences OF an
outbreak with the United States which would be the
result of any farther perseverance in such course
even towards these men.

ALABAMA CASTOR OIL.-Six barrels of castor OIL
from the plantation of Robert Dickens Perry county,
were received on Tuesday, says the Mobile Tribune,
and sold at 50 per gallon The quality of this oil is
superior to any brought to this market. E. K. Car
Isle has already sold this for Mr.. Dickens
some fifty barrels of castor OIL at prices ranging from
81 to 50 SO per gallon. The complete success of
Mr.. Dickens in this branch of industry, will
probably induce others to embark in it.

q We understand that many of the Senators who are

the bill will pass the Senate by majority of from
six to eight The question, however, will scarcely
be taken before the end of the next week.
In the House of Representatives the elements of
calculation are more diversified, and the result is
more uncertain. But we understand the prospects
of an amicable settlement opening with more
