The Price Of Things

There certain things that people and have

difficult TO get an advance Take for instance news

of papers, tbs reduction of the size of Others the

Fuel is much higher. Lubricatng oil is higher Pot

doubt they will be more SO.
We have TO pay cash for everything, as everybody
else has, and everything pay for is higher. yet if We

under three times former prices and we may kick up

isn't it? Things don't quite find their level, do they
Well we won't moraliza much more, neither will we
preach Preaching won't pay. They only give preach
ers fifty dollars month in the Confederate army, and
we therefore were force TO withdraw the tender of our
services in the tbapaincy line But we do say this
daily paper is worth six dollars year to any one
man. Don't, by Begging borrowing, try to get two
mems reading for that sum. Let eoch man have one
for himself so that the printers may live aud the Ed-
tors keep above ground and that the days of the reader
may be long upon the land. Yes
We may regret that the Fayetteville Observer is
without any better information in regard to the hydro
grophy-the sopndings-of the harbor of Beaufort, n
c. than the report of the Typographical engineer made
in 1851 but can't help it. 1t is not our fault
We are also puzzled to understand a part of the Oh
serrer's quotation from Mr. Henry L. Whiting, which
says that there is feet at low water
our Beaufort bar, and that ship drawing taceny feet
water leave at any state of the tide! Mean low is
"a state of the tde suppose but how vessel draw
ing wenty feet water go bar with seventeen
feet at that state of the tide cannot within full
yard of understanding. Who can?
But in fact if the Observer will take the trouble to
obtain copy of the Coast Survey for 1854 ard for
1855 it will see at II it is mistaken in its posi-
tons, as everybody already sees it is.

KEGS far lay in their power and in the prosecution
of this laudable purpose they stated toward the 10

armed with doutle-bre shot guns and revolvers Alter
walking several miles they were placed 10 po;ion, near
the road, by Capt Miller. Abou. midnight Capt hifr
heard the approach Of the expected enemy He allowed
them 10 march directly In front Of the smbuscade and
then gave the command "fre" The order was prompt
ly obeyed and Immediately afterwards the Conf derates
