Water bitches. Artesian Wells, SC.

The last number of the Trinity Times has a
very sensible article on these subjects, which
would be equally applicable to this county. All
must admit the necessity, in order fully to de-
velop the hidden resources of our county, of
having an abundant supply of water. Ariesian
wells have been successfully bored in many
parts of our State, and we see no good reason
why water cannot be had in our mountain
county. Can not some capitalists try the ex-
pertinent here I? If successful in almost any
portion of the county, your fortunes made.
if not the loss would not be very heavy
Can not such an enterprise be started by in
dividual subscription A successful attempt
would benefit all classes of our citizens
In this connection we also notice that the
same paper complains of the high prices at
which the ditch owners rent their water, as be-
ing very great drawback to the prospecting of
their county. We may profit from the expert
ence of our neighbors in this particular.
From the same paper. we observe that Miss
Julia Pelby has been playing at Weaverville,
and that the theatre going gentlemen have been
giving her benefit. On The occasion of her
last, an elegant gold ring was offered for the
best conundrum. The following good one took
the prize:
Why is The Trinity Journal like ship sailing
successful through stormy sea

BF We intended writing a comment upon
the Presidents Message, but we just happened
to think of the Western editor who upon re-
ceving copy of Shakespeare, proceeded very
formally TO write notice of the work, and give
il as his decided opinion TINT the plays well
written, and tina, Mr.. Shakespeare was man of
ta'ent. We thought that if we were to write an
article commendatory oil one of the best mes
sages that emenated from the White House,
we should place ourself along side of the Wes-
tern editor, aforesaid. So we have determined
to say not a word about the Message.--Rocking-
ham (Va.) Register.
1t seems that all the papers have pursued the
same course, for we have never seen so few
comments on hportaat a Message The
Virginia editor expresses our sentiments exactly.
Mr.. Pierce, as well as Mr.. Shakespeare, is man
of talent.

REnRGAXIZATIoy OF THE NAvY.-An act was
passed by the last Congress for the purpose of
recognizing the Navy, or, in other words. rid
ding the Navy of superannua,ed and useless Of
hcers. Among the sufferers by the action of
The Naval Board were Lieutenauis T. II. Ste
vens snd Fabius Stanley, of Tue Pacific station
Without going at length into the personal mer-
Its OF these gentlemen, who widely known
and universally respected in California, it is
iy perhaps necessary for to say that tie ac-
,ion of the Board in respect TO them is much
regretted. Injustice has been done. and we feel
that we are only expressing the popular wish
when we say that they should be renstated in
then respective positions. We learn that it is
lntended to take measures for proper repre-
seniaion OF the at Washing ngton.-State
Jon, nal.
This is but simple net of justice, and We
hope yet to see the action of the Naval Board
set aside, for certainly very great injustice has
been done by it in uery many cases.
The evil was in organizing such Board
with no restrictions upon their actions. Officers
were tried and condemned without hearing
which is against the plainest principles of or
ganic right. The members Of the Board could
not have been personally acquainted with very
many of those whose names were brought be-
fore them, and, the testimony, if they received
any, must necessarily have been interested, if it
came from brother officers, Tor they were to be
promoted in the exact ratio of the dismssals.
The bill is wrong in toto, ia its conception and
execution, and we would like to petitions
from our Legislature praying Congress to repeal
the act. and if our navy needs pruning that a
new Board be formed with different rules of
government.
