We have just seen Mr. Jesse j. Cassidy, who arrived
here on Sunday from the Deep River work, where he
left his father, James Cassidy Esq, President of the
Company, Friday last about ten miles above Lock
vile, with the steamer HaughtOn and large Flat IN
tow said Flat being loaded with Coal, Iron and Cop
per Ore Soapstone Wheat, Flour Cotton, Dried Fruit
and country Produce generally. Mr. Cassidy looks
for his father here tomorrow next day. with the pro
ducts His arrival should be hailed by the people of
Wilmington suspicious event. establishing the eX-
istence of communication, however imperecty con-
structed with the Mines.
Mr.. Cassidy also informs US that he has received
from the lock tender at Silver Run, letter dated on
the 4h ns stating that the late eshet had done some
damage to the lock at that place. but that could
not be repaired in day. He had heard of no damage
at any other point.
It is probable that some mistakes were made, owing
to the fact that good quantity of dressed timber had
been placed the bank Of the river in the vicinity oil
Red Rock DAM and this timber floating off and down
the stream naturally gave rise to the impression that
considerable portion of the works had been carried off
We may make our Fayetteville contemporaries unhappy
by stating this fact, but we can't help it.

whom it said that his friends could always tell when
he was in for it. by his commencing to talk of Thomas
W. Dorr, and the Rhode Island War. Those acquaint-

it is hard rum by its commencing to abuse the worthy
citizens Of the County Of New Hanover. 1t virtually
acknowledges this by turning its sneers against our
Kaiutuck and Holly Shelter readers, as it does in

such we accept it. although we hardly cared to drive
