Once more we are without any mail north of Rich
mond. and even some of our own State papers which
we have been accustomed to receive to-day Friday)
are missing It is to be hoped that better state of
things will prevail after the establishment of the
new arrangement which is to go into effect on the
Ist of next month. With two mails day between
Washington City and this place, we may reasonably
expect something like regularity that is if the Po-
tomac will only consent to remain in fluid state
In looking over the Virginia papers we have re-
marked the tender socitude, the almost paternal
care, with which the Wings of that State regard the
affairs of North Carolina. Not one of them, from
the biggest to the littlest omts word of advice and
direction with respect to the choice of our next Gov
ernor They assert and swear by all that is holy,
and several things that unholy, that Democrat
ic Governor in North Carolina is horrd affair-a
very particularly horrd affair, and ought not to be.
SO they asserted in regard to Virginia We hope
they will be polite as to communicate to our
Wing friends in this State some of that surprising
tact by which they themselves ,ontrived to be so
beautifully whipped in the recent elections. 1t is
about the only s. Virginia influence We want any
thing to do with.

that forty miles of the road on the western end will
be finished by LIST July We also learn, that all the
unfinished work between Brunswick river and the
State line is under contract and will be finished in
time for the rails. Contracts have been made for
trestle-work and bridges One of Cranes patent
steam pilcdrvers has been ordered for the
ton of the pile bridging Eagles Island, Big
Creek and the White Marsh. and is expected to ar
rive in few days. contract has been entered in
to for sinking the foundations of the piles for the
bridge over the Great Pee Dee River, according to
Dr. Potts Patent Pneumatic principle. The road
will not come along the causeway but will strike
the river above town, and down along the bank
to the passengers depot, opposite town. The road
is getting along but we cannot draw from anything
published, when it is likely to be done. 1000 tons
of iron are on their way

TIE Ice CRop.-We learn from various parts of
the country the most creditable authority, that
the ice crop of the present is abundant and
is gathered with great success. The Knickerbocker
Ice Company at Rockland Lake. on the western side
of the Hudson river, opposite to Sing Sing, have had
from eight hundred to thousand men, and fifty
horses, employed for weeks past, and have
buildings for " harvesting eighty thousand tons of
ice one of which, capable of containing forty thou
sand tons, and covering an acre and quarter of
ground, has been lately finished at cost of $4,000
The same company has another establishment on
Highland Lake, capable of storing twenty thousand
tons Another company has houses on Rockland
Lake for containing thirty five thousand TONS who
have provided means of raising ice by a machinery
to elevation of hundred and ten feet from the
lake. and proposes to build railroad for transport
ing it to the river.
On the Fresh Pond in WATERFOWL, the ice is ff-
teen inches thick where it has not been already cut,
and of remarkable transparency. Where it has been
once cut the after crop is of more than half that
thickness. If the proprietors of these various ice
establishments heed the proverb, make hay while
the sun Shines there will be deficiency in the
supply of this article the ensuing season,

A sisters Death.
, died upon a winters night,

She died upon a winters night,
A long, long time ago;
When the largo round moon had q wintry look
AS it shone on the breast of the frozen brook,
And over the fields of snow.
As she Law that night in the pale moonlight,
Which fell on her peaceful bed,
She seemed like the form of a sculptured saint
Without sign of woe or of mortal faint,
With glory around her head.
With her eyelids closed, and her lips apart,
And her arms like the marble fair,
Crossed on her bosom, and gently press'd,
She lay, as she sank to her peaceful rest,
In the mute repose of prayer.
When the morning broke, and we gazed again
A smile to her face seemed given;
And though our spirits were crushed and sad,
The Christmas bells soon made us glad,
For we knew she woke in heaven.
