ing the reasons for extraordinary an increase !;
this item of expenses, and directing its redncfa"
by all means The charges of lighterage durnc tI
remaining two quarters show falling off in the ~
count, as will be perceived, no less remarkable than
the sudden increase.
"The fact that there was an astounding d;sc,.
pancy between the amount charged the gOY,rnman,
as paid for lighterage, and the amount colloctsi
from the importers on that account came under tba
notice of the storekeeper of the port. This Officer
instituted an investigation of the discrepancy md
upon looking at the lightermen's account left in I
custom house voucher for the amount receivsj
by them he ascertained that part of the last pare
of their account as originally made up containier
their receipt and signature, had been cut from its
proper place-that page after page of fctitm,
charges had been added, new footngs entered m
and carried forward, until they had reached the inn
mense sum named. and that then the past maze
containing the receipt and signature as aforesaid
was appended to the accumulated account TM,
fact is positively asserted by gentleman whose Of
fetal duty it was to kn0w The condition of the Gus
tom house books in this regard. He states further
that he brought these facts to the attention of Mr.
King. who, greatly agtated, inquired what hi
should do. His fellow-oficer expressed his utter in
ability to aid him in the matter casually remarkin
that if it was his own case, he should wish thu
building to burn down, that all evidence relating II
the subject might be destroyed.
'The next day, strange to say, on looking for thu
mutiated papers, no trace of them could be found
nor have they since ever been heard from. Foru
nately for the public interest, the storekeeper had
made copies of the missing papers. which are nov

Fire In the Dismal Swamp.

A gentleman from Elizabeth City, N. C, informed
us Monday, that great fire raging in the Dis
NAL Swamp, whose intensity and rapid spreading, was
very much aided by the long drought that has prevail
ed. Our informant stated that when he left, nearly
the whole region from the Moccasn track, to Eliza

that the idea 10 its extent is somewhat exaggerated.
We also informed that the smoke from the

Herald, of Monday, that that city much troubled
with and understand from other sources, that it
had been even conveyed TO Hampton, and Old Point
Comfort, where it was very annoying. The fire was
