Harbor Defence.

1t is remarkable to what an extent the operation
of natural causes may contribute to render valueess
the works constructed for the protection of harbors
or rivers, striking example of which fact is afford
ed in the of the Cape Fear River at its mouth
The Notifications built for the protection of the en-
trance and which might have been fully efficient at
the time when projected, have since been to very
great degree, deprecated by the breaking out of New
Inlet at point above and distant from their location
To all intents and purposes Wilmington and it's CON-
merce is totally without defence since it is evident
that the forts on Oak Island could offer no imped-
ment to hostile vessels of war, who might choose to
enter at the Inlet several miles distant and the con
structon of the necessary works at that point would
entail expense for exceeding that required to close
Up the New Inlet altogether.
In similar cases we understand that this course
has been recommended by the Engineer Department,
and in more than actually carried out with the
best results having evidently had the effect of pro-
tecting the harbor much more efficiently than any
Notifications could have done, while at the same
time the incidental benefit to the navigation has been
great and decided.
These considerations are certainly well worthy o.
attention, and we have to believe that they
have been brought to the notice of the Engineer de-

cost of works Federal Point would very considers
bly, exceed that of closing up the passage at tina
point altogether, while at the same time the latte
would contribute main part to the chain of work
necessary to the restoration of the former depth
wateron the main bar.
1t is certainly strong, if not all unanswerabe al
gument in favour of the appropriation, for carrying
the projected works for the Improvement of our ba

The Gardner Affair.

Second and only second to the Nebraska affair, be-

suicide of Dr. Gardner the topic OF conversation in
public places; and, wherever men gathered
together, the question seemed TO be-wl MIR. Cor

other counsel of Gardner fork over the money they
got from him and which is decided by the verdict OF
Jury to have been the wages of fraud and perjury
on his (Gardner's) part? How will this end' Will
there be an investigation Such and such like are
the questions and speculations TO which this appalling
tragedy gives rise, and must say that for
part we think the whole affair and the conduct Of all
parties concerned demand rigid and most searching
judicial investigation. The public opinion of the
country does not regard DR.. Gardner the only OIL

The War in Eu.opc-Crit,cal Position of Affairs

The War I'm EuEOpe-CritIcaI Position of Affairs.
Naturally, the sympathies of the people of this
country are with the alliance of the " Western pow
ers against Russia; and yet, strangely enough, ii
is from that alliance that have every thing
to fear, while from Russia we can have nothing to
dread. AS military power with little commerce or
Navy, Russia has rivalry with the United States,
and consequently very little jealousy of her pro-
gress whereas, with England and France the
case is different. They are jealous of the rapid
growth of the United States; they desire to restrain
her development; they are even now intervening in
Cuba and at other points in this hemisphere in
manner irritating and offensive to this country Cir
cumstances alone have nterfered to prevent their at
tempting to dictate terms and regulate the balance
of power this continent as they are trying to do
IN Europe. But suppose this Russian affair disposed

their disposal the gigantic ornaments which have
been mustered to oppose the Russians; what then
How long before should them. by virtue of
their guns, dispCsing of Cuba and such like in the
most summary manner! In fact, regulating things
in general way; and what damage might we not
suffer before we would be in Il condition to vindcate
our real strength and character!
1t is decidedly to be hoped that France and Eng.
land may drub Russia very severely. and get most
comfortably thrashed themselves in the progress
of the operaton-that they may finally get spoils
and fight the division thereof so that they may
have enough to do if they attend to their business
home. good stout war, and fall out all round
would be the best guarantees for peace here and with
it the peaceful progress of the country TO her
ifest destiny"
Things have advanced TO such point in Europe
that it seems almost impossible to conceive how

that from the already stated, by nj
means anxious that it should be avoided. A lttl
