The Pilot Laws.

The Pilot Laws.
Our attention has been called to the act passed by
the present Legislature, repeating in part the 18th
section of the 85th chapter OF the Revised Cooe anu
we have been surprised IN looking over our files 10
find that it has not been published IN the Jo"r"aI as
was our Intention and indeed our impression until
an examination has satisfied us that by some means
has been omitted or neglected. The act is as fol-
lows:

the RtUiSed Code.

The present appears to us proper occasion to
correct a strange misprint, which we find in the re-
mort Of the proceedings of the House of Commons on
the 9th of December, and published in our daily ed
ton of the 18th and weekly of the 10th. The por-
ton of the report in which this misprint occurs is
follows
The following bills and resolutions passed their second
reading: ,, C.,. ;o
The bill to repeal 18th section 85h chapter of the Revised
Code ming tStOS INF Holmes naue AL aoe ePeooL
in favor of the bill
In the above it will be seen that the word pisols'
is printed instead Of pilots" II was in favour OF
the bill now published concerning pilots that Mr.
Holmes made the able speech referred to by our cor
respondent. Accidents and mistakes will occur IN
the best regulated families and newspapers are not
exempt from such occurrences.
Gg- We are again without communication with any
point north or west OF GoldsbOro. There is no get
ting 10 or from Raleigh, either by the Central or the
Raleigh and CASTOR Road Gentlemen who lett here
on Saturday. have not been able to make their way
to the Capitol but are still the road few miles
above Goidsboro' on the Central Railroad the snow
has accumulated in drifts in the cuttings to the depl
of nine or ten feet We do not know what the ettec
OF Yesterdays rain may have been. Not sufficient
we fear, 10 make much impression upon such masses
And the terrible frost of last ght and this morning
of course arrested TIE ncipient thaw.
MI Price, our associate, visited KenanSVile thu
week, it being Duplir County Court week: and HI
found the state of the weather there totally whou
precedent The stock was suffering with the cold
and 1t was feared that numbers of cattle would b.
lost Turkies, Chickens and other domestic fowls
where at all exposed, had been much injured, AM
many had died.
The accounts by the train from Weldon last night
represent the storm and cold as having been errib
severe in that section of the State The snow ha
driited into the hoIlOws and lesser vallles, maxim
the whole surface of the ground appear comparative
lv level. There painful rumors of persons haV
ing gone to hunt up stock, and getting lost in tn
snow in these hollows, where it many feet deep
1t is feared that some lives have been lost. Befor
the train left Weldon yesterday despatch had bee
received there representing the state OF things {
Petersburg, and North of it, as without any parable
About the reported depth Of the snow-24 feet-ther
is, of.course, some mistake it was probably 2 fee
inches on an average, but drifted in many place
to an incredible depth. Many persons had pershe
from cold and exposure. No mail from the Mort
has reached Weldon this week
The Wilmington and Weldon Road is clea
and open throughout, owing to the aduous exertlor
of the Superintendent and other officers. 1t is sti
hard to get water. The same difficulty is experien
ed on the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, a
though we have not heard that any serious obstru
tons have been ocCasiOned by the snow.
We understand that the heavy sleet extended {
least as far South Montgomery, Alabama, an
that everything between here and there is covere
with ice. The telegraph is working very we'll Sout
of us. North and West it is not.
Upon the whole this appears to have been III
most severe ice and snow storm that has visited tn
Atlantic seabcard for very many years-if notin fax
the worst one of which there is any memory or trf
diton. The freezing of the river at this point was
circumstance without precedent Every place thu
we can hear from, has been having its own "spell
of weather upon corresponding scale.
On Monday the thermometer stood above zero
