DR.. John NJ Worth, of Randolph, was chosen on the
second ballot having received So out of 81 votes cast
DR.. Worth, and Philemon B. Hawkins ESQ.,, of Frank
lin county, appear to have been the only prominent
ddates In fact, the very brief notice from Monday to
Wednesday, with the enormous bond of one hundred
thousand dollars, prevented the running of any large
number of candidates.
Of the gentleman elected we know nothing personally
he is spoken of as energetic and competent bust
man, of strict integrity of his peculiar fitness for
this business we know nothing. We had hoped that
person the Seaboard having some practical ex
perience in satboiling, would have been chosen But
we must trust and believe that the selection made will
prove to be udicious Were we inclined to initiate the
example Of some other papers we might say that DR.

Mr. Lincolns Secretary of the Navy states that sun
dry of the smaller inlets into Pamico and Albemare
Sounds in this State have been closed up obstruced
by sinking vessels loaded with stone, in their channels
Other vessels getting ready to sink distractions in
the neighborhood of Charleston and Savannah.
For a time this sort Of thing may have some little
effect but with the peculiar shifting sand shoals which
form the bars to Southern harbors the attempt to
effect anything permanent must wholly fail These
sands shift Of themselves constantly and the current of
water blocked out of channel by obstruction
placed there will pretty certainly cut another one
for itself very soon, especially where there is such
heavy tide as there is at the mouth of the Savannah
River. There is not granite enough in Quincy, nor
old whaers enough in Mystic, New Bedford Nantucket
and Marthas Vineyard to permanently effect anything
in the way of blocking harbor with a sandy bottom
and tidal rise of seven feet.
