These Steamers should be constructed of iron in
the most substantial manner, and carry large
cargo on less than six feet water, with accommo-
dations ior limited number of passengers, on
their upper decks By the establishment OF the
above designated lines, the Farmers of North
Carolina would be furnished with ample facilities
for shipment, and the result would not only prove
beneficial to Norfolk, but would ultimately result
in the development of Of the rihcest countries
on the Atlantic coast
This being a ne.o line of navigation, few Pilots
can be found competent to navigate it. For that
reason Lights, Buoys, and other aids to naviga-
ton are important.
Congress in 1860, appropriated ten thousand
dollars for Light to be erected at the mouth of
North River, ana five hundred dollars for Buoys
to be placed on the line of navigation. The
Board Of Trade of Norfolk has united in an
application to the Light House. Bureau to supply
these important aids to navigation, and we see no
just reason why the matter should not receive
Immediate attention. Surely the small appro-
pfiation of ten thousand dollars is of little
quence to the general government, but the lack
oft is amatter of very Importance to u.s. and
we earnestly join our voice in the appeal to the
Light House Bureau to supply at an early day these
necessary adjuncts to the navigation Of this i'm
portant channel OF commerce.

ADvERTIsING.-Barnum is the prince of hum
bugs, but he knows what is necessary to success
in life. He never said truer word than the fol-
lowing: Advertising is to genuine article
what manure is to land-it largely increases the
product. Thousands of persons may be reading
your advertisement while you are eating, or
sleeping, attending to your business; hence
public attention is attracted, new customers come
to you, and, if you render them a satisfactory
equivalent for their money, they continue to pat
ronize you and recommend you to their friends"
Bear this in mind, business men, and make free
of the facilities afforded you by the Day Book,
which has the largest circulation of any paper in
this section. For job printing, great auxiliary
to the business man in his advertising efforts, our
job Office offers the very best inducements.

IMPORTANT TO Persons WITH DEFECTIVE VISION.
All who have tried the spectacles manufactured
and sold by Professor Bernhardt, now at the Ma
tional Hotel, pronounce them excellent. Persons
who, by reason of impaired sight, have not been
able to read for years, have, by the of these
glasses, been enabled to read fine print easily and
without fatigue OF injury to the eye. The Pro-
fessor has been educated in one of the finest Uni
yersities in Europe, and has made diseases of the
eve, and the science of OPTICS his special study.
All who are afflicted with defective vision should
call at once, to consult him and obtain pair of
his glasses.
Since the Professors sojourn in this city, his
office has been daily thronged by hundreds of our
citizens, seeking his professional services, and the
united testimony of all only confirms the high
opinion we had pre-conceived of his opthalmic
skill and the superior excellence of his glasses.

THE W oRKING MEN OF PORTSMOUTH, our
first page will be found the proceedings of the
Working Mems Convention, held in Portsmouth
on Friday evening last, and crowded out of our
Saturdays issue. The object of this meeting was
to advocate the Inauguration of the popular eight
hour system, and for the still important pur-
pose Of improving the social and intellectual sta
tus of those hardy sons of toll who build our
dwellings, fill the with floating palaces, and
bind the cities of earth together with iron bands.
Those brawny armed toilers who eat the sweet
bread of toll and sleep the sweet sleep of labor
The Grand, Almighty Builder,
Who fashioned out the earth,
Hath stamped His seal of honor
On Labor from her birth.
In every angel flower,
That blossoms from the sod,
Behold the master touches,
The handiwork of God
Then, honor to our workmen,
Our hardy sons of toll
The heroes of the workshop,
And monarchs of the soil

The OYSTER INTEREsrs.-T was another
large gathering of the oystermen at Doland's Sa-
loon, ON Saturday morning, at which Captain
Coleman presided. The general interests of the
large number engaged in the trade were discussed,
and resolution to the effect, that strict watch
be kept for the detection of vessels iegitimately
engaged in the trade, were passed.
1t was also resolved to form regular Oyster
mans Association, and Captain Coleman was
elected the temporary President, until commit
tee, appointed for the purpose, can report a per-
manent organization, bylaws, &c.
A spirit of unanimity prevailed, and the very
pleasant, important and harmonious meeting adj
journed to meet again next Saturday.

CouMERoE OF THE ALBENARLE AND CHESAPEAKE
C,NAL,-We have lately had an opportunity OF
looking over the record of operations on this i'm
,'rovement, and as some of the facts struck as
imnortant, we give them to our readers Let it
he remembered that, in 1861, when the late war
commenced, this improvement was not finished,
and as passing vessels rather retarded the opera
tion of excavation, trade was not encouraged
Then came the blighting war, and with it an
almost entire cessation OF labor and production in
the Eastern portion of North Carolina. The
Canal Company too, from circumstances beyond
their control, were prevented from meeting, from
November, 1860, to October, 1865, and OF course,
dnring that time, no effort was made to stimulate
the trade of the Canal !; nor, under the peculiar
circumstances, do we think any effort, however
well directed, would have been of much avail
But in spite of these adverse circumstances, the
immense trade of this prolific country would not
consent to be entirely suspended, and large guam
titles of produce forced itself into this and other
markets, through this important highway. Since
the fall of 1861 1922 vessels, of various kinds,
hove passed through this improvement, as follows
The day book. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1857-1867, 1865-11-27
2,Osl l,24s 1888 1,el1 1884


These figures clearly demonstrate the capacity
OF this canal and point with prophetic finger to
the Importance Of the vast trade that is ultimately
to pour itself, like golden harvest, into this
mort Indeed, when the labor system of this vast
region shall have been fully organized, and the
country has been fully settled with white labor,
which it now seems to be the policy to adopt,
there is no estimating the vast receipt of produce
that may reasonably be expected from the coun-
try reached by this canal and its various connec-
TONS
Nor does it appear that the operations of this
canal are to be conducted in the usual small way
that characterizes similar Improvements, for we
find, from an investigation, that many OF the ves-
sells that passed through this line of improvement
were of greater capacity than could be passed
through any other canal the Atlantic coast
And at this moment it occurs to us that this i'm
proyement does not simply connect us with East
ern North Carolina, which, of itself, is equal in
area to Massachusetts,, Vermont and New Hamp-
shire, but through it we have, with the exception
Of few miles, inland communication as lar as the
st. Johns river, in the State of Florida; thus
opening up to us all the immense products of the
South without the dangers usually attending the
coasting trade, and particularly, avoiding that
ugly and dangerous portion OF the coast near
Cape Hatteras This is an important fact, which
seems to have struck the merchants of other Cities
and in proof OF this assertion, we remark that, IN
the past four months, more than forty steamers
bound from New York, Philadelphia, Portland
Boston and Baltimore, to Charleston, Savannah
and the West Indies, have awaited themselves of
this route. And here let our merchants stick
pinl When our schemes for direct trade shall
have been matured, this will be one of the princi-
pal channels through which we may confidently
expect to receive those supplies which to keep
up the trade and make it popular and remunera-
tive, by enabling to export in greater quantity
than we import, and thereby keep the balance of
trade in our favor And, beside giving to the
merchant immense advantages, it will be well to
bear in mind that it opens up an extensive field
IL all nf oil onef
any number of steamboats,. Indeed, so impressed
is the President OF this improvement with this
idea, that, in his message to the last meeting of
the company, he recommended that suitable pro-
pelers, adapted to canal navigation, and built of
iron, be constructed by the company, as follows:

PKocAprLLoEs AND DIVERSION (2)-The crfmi-
nal records of this city, during the past month,
have been filed with tales of burglary, highway
robbery and other offenses OF capital nature com
mitted by the idle portion OF our colored popula-
ton. In the majority of cases these oenses, from
their boldness and magnitude, presented something
Of the dignity of crime but on Saturday last some
Of the industrious operators, who seem to disre-
gard the difference between meam ct tuuna entered
into many small Expectations" which, by them,
may be regarded as peccadilloes or diversion. A
barrel of -four which graced the store door oil Mr..
Joshua Wright, Market Square, attracted the
oupdy Of an enterprsng fellow 10 , ana :, without
replenish his cupboard, which no doubt, like old
mother Hubbards was "bare
Another party, who no doubt, was particeps
ersminis in the -four speculation, thinking that
-four bread was dry eating, entered the market
and appropriated the right side of hog--the
left side still remains for sale-belongng to Robt.
Gross. The enterprise OF this fellow, was only
slualed BY his audacity, as he was seen moiens
ooleas as far as cross was concerned-to shoulder
the pork and walk off. Now this is. not exactly
s'going the whole hog" but it may very justly be
denominated kogish trick. Shoulder" a
'sside'' and s'ham," all at one fell swoopl and
then to think that this SON of Ham shouldered the
aide and walked of in presence Of the assembled
multitude, who no doubt, thought it belonged to
him.
Here then was bread and meat enough to last
amonth or more but gentlemen OF leisure are
generally gentlemen OF staste, and when conye-
Rient, like to crafty that taste. But, while it
was very amusing to go around and pick up such
small articles as were desired to fill up the sun
total of genteel bill of fare, STILL it was very
troublesome, and the most genteel way was te
purchase tho condiments, etc. Accordingly, the
money draw of Messrs. Fitchett Dusche wa
approached; twas unlocked; it contained ffteer
Or twenty dollars. The consequence was that il
walked off, and the contents served to fill the
cupboard, which was no longer like Mother Hub
nards, but was full to repletion.
No doubt but some of our contemporaries will
raise their editorial digitspen and all-with hol,
horror, at the idea of calling these little episode
IN colored society /" diversions" If they do, w
can only say they are behind the times for moth
ing short Of burglary is denominated crime in thi
.sst town, and even that is punished with onl,
@teen OF twenty days confinement.

MAYORS CoURT, Portsmouth.-Harry Ether

Ewell, who charged him with stealing forty dol
lars from her, contessing the theft, was turned

trial on said offence.
Jason Jones, arraigned on complaint of Samuel
Eastwood, Deputy Street Inspector, for allowing
a nuisance to remain on his premises after having
been notified to remove it, was fined in the o.
FIVE dollars and discharged.
Portsmouth was quiet and orderly ON Saturday
and Sunday nights, and decidedly moral reform
is plainly apparent from the small number of ar
rests made.
