We are unwilling to bore our readers by constant
recurrence topic upon which we have perhaps, said
enough, or rather said as much az becomes us to
say for nothing short Of the accomplishment of the de-
sired object can be regarded enough However, even
at the risk of being troublesome tedious feel COM
PEELED by q sense duty to add few remarks upon
the subject of hotel building at this point, with view
of calling attention to its necessity to the business of the
town and its Importance to the trade and prosperity Of
it's citizens.
We have recently had occasion to refer to certain
meetings of Railroad stockholders and others about
to assemble in our town. How can people in any
considerable numbers receive Hotel accommodation 2?
This is question that we are unable to answer All
that can be done, will be, doubt but then, it is
not possible to squeeze bushel into peck measure
not comfortably, at any rate.
The importance of this matter of providing addi-
tional hotelroom was recognized even when there
were three houses open as Hotels in Whining
ton and efforts have been made at different times to
get up the stock for the construction of building that
would meet the necessities of the and be worthy of
the character ofthe first town the State From ous
causes these efforts have been unsuccessful yet still the
consciousness of want and the desire to supply that
want, has never been absent from the public mind
Now we think the feeling is stronger than ever before
In spite of all the prophecies Of evil with which
we have been frightened, the town of Wilmington is
neither falling off retrograding Her population is in
creasing buildings are going up Her nvariable exemp-
ton from epidemic visitation and the general good health
of her people, all mark her as the healthest Southern
seaboard town of any and this must operate largely
in her favor especially in view of the unfortunate con-
don of the Seaport towns and cities to the Southwark
Her business must in the nature of things grow and in
crease and if proper accommodations provided to
invite visitors, the resources of the place will have
better chance to become known and additional capital
will be invited and brought among US.
At Goldsboro there are two hotels, either of them
larger than the Carolina At Raleigh Charlotte, Sails
bury there is far more hotel room than there is in Will
mington. Go to Columbia, S. c., place of much less
population and business than Wilmington, and you will
find hotel after hotel On the Main street. the name Of
which we do not recollect.
This then is the want of the time in Wilmington and
we are pleased to learn that fresh effort foot un-
der the most favorable auspices and with fair prospect
OF success If it does succeed it will remove constant
cause OF complaint and what has got to be- sort of
proach against Our good town. We trust that those who
have the means will come forward with material aid.

Our Railroad Conventions Again.

We referred yesterday to the approaching meeting of
the stockholders in the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad
Company and in that connection alluded to project
bv which the Northern connections of the Road could
be placed upon more secure and advantageous footing
the position of the lower line much improved i'll the
struggle and competition now in progress for through
travel. The project to which we alluded was for the
Wilmington & Weldon Company to become the owner
of sufficient amount Of the stock Of the Portsmouth
Road to give her the control of that Road which
could then be worked in connection with the Whining
ton Road-a through ticket could always be made to
Baltimore by the Bay Route and the tyranny of the
Virginia lines, or some of them be escaped from.
The plan stated, namely, by purchasing into the
Portsmouth Road is that regarded with most favor if
it can be done fair TERMS any thing fair terms
But that not the only plan, need the Company be
forced to submit to any undue advantage being taken of
her. line of railroad from Enfield to Suffolk could be
built for moderate amount, and would all the
proposed ends while there is little doubt but that if
would paw as an investment. We believe that an ex-
detrimental survey of this line has been, or soon will be-
made by party under the direction of competent En-
gneer with the view of enabling the Company to have
the whole matter fairly presented for examination and

was concluded, and Prince Kung and others gave the
verdict viz :" That as Keying did not wait for the
Emperor's commands, and acted in a stupid and wful
manner in his Office decision Is that he be remanded
for the Autumnal Assizes, then to be strangled.''
The Emperor acknowledges that the verdict is just
and then goes on to talk about the crimes of Keyng
He says he had long been under the ban a criminal

negotiations be was not to interfere with Kweil

Gentlemen: In looking over your editorial in your

of the Stockholders of the Wilmington & Weldon Rail
road to be held in this place the lth inst speak
of some of the difficulties that have had tendency to
cripple and enbarrass the receipts Of the Road the past
year. and then aude to an arrangement by which the
W. & w R. R. can obtain the control of the Seaboard
& Roanoke R. R.. to do which the W. & W. R. r. is
to purchase the Seaboard Road. Now, my dear srs,
this may be very WELL if it could be done equitable
terms but think there is but little prospect of this,
when we look at things they exist. would suggest
another and better plan than this There is large and
fertile portion of Halifax, Northampton ard Hartford
counties, who are now suffering for the want of means
to transport their hundreds of bales of cotton and thou
sands of bushels of grain, who would willingly unite in
building road from some point the Wilmington
Road to the Virginia line near Somerton, Va, and
thence to the Petersburg & Norfolk Road, which would
not only be an accommodation to the community through
which it passes but be paying road and no difficulty
in the way of through connection from New Orleans

AMERICAN TRADE WITH NORTHERN RUss1A.-\

AMERICAN TRADE WITH NORTHERN RUsSIA.-We
copied recently extract of letter from the Hon. F
W. Pickens, Minister to Russia to the effect that
large trade about to open between the United States
and the ports of Northern Russia Late English
papers state that Amer lean traders have landed consider
able cargoes of sugar at the port Nicoloaw the
mouth of the river Amoor which is termed the Missis
sippi Of Northern Asia. From that port the cargoes
have been conveyed at up into the very heart OF
Tarary and the interior of the Muscovite Empire The
unexpected supplies have had an astonishing effect on
the late fair at Norovgorod, to which emporium the
Central Asatcs resort for the purchase of that merchan
Disc the value of which has fallen thirty per cent owing
to the sources of sugar Importation and every
other commodity will shortly be similarly affected by
what must be perfect revolution on the border-land Of
China, Mongolistan, and Southern Siberia"

The beautiful weather in September (which month

maturel the crop rapidly but has enabled the planters
to make rapid progress in picking. The rust has inur

almost ndedependent of the question of frost and
is set down generally at about 100000 bales The
picking is several weeks (say month"; earlier than
usual and this will bring an increase quantity into mar
ket at early date. If any of our readers have not
calculated for themselves the value of this CROP few
figures in that connection will both interest and surprise
them. If take 100000 bales as the probable CROP
and $50 lbs the average to the bae and considering
that the quality is said to be better than usua if we
1913 cents as the average price, we shall have as
the total value of the crop in round numbers two
hundred and twentyseven million dollars! This is, to
all ntents and purposes, and above the consump-
ton of the cottongrowng States and is only that which
they will have to sell, or to exchange and manufacture
If the price named be reckoned too much we shall find
that at ten cents per pound the total value would
be 1871 100000 and this is article which will be
certainly wanted and which commands ready sale in
all the principal markets of the world.

manche Indians watched these unfortunate emgrants
with murderous design, from the time they left their
protected and peaceful homes One beautiful night these
emgrants had camped the foot of range of noun
tans and had turned their cattle out to Craze.
Little did they dream of trouble, that danger was
at hand but it even so. The Camanches sur
rounded them all sides that there was no chance of
their escape. The conflict was soon decided. The
men, numbering thrtyfve, all brutally murdered
and scaped together with several of the women The
remainder were made captves and carried off to other
tribes and bartered for horses provisions etc. Wong
mawker purchased his wife for two horses and couple
of deer skins. The other captives 1.-TWO women and
