EERATA.-In the publication of a daily
paper, situated as We are in q close and
crowded room, working by night, and by
the light of very doubtful candles, errors
Will naturally escape us. We have not
thought 1t pFopcr-takins for granted that
our readers are all quite able to do so-to
correct these errors. We ASSUME as q
matter OF course, that mistakes in grain
mar and orthography, in names and dates.
will be ascribcd to anything but the igno.
rance OF the press, and we also assume the
perfect adequacy of the public to supply
oil deficiencies. Public and editors must
be esteemed as equally infalhble. Nothing,
in fact, is so perfect. PeoFle arc perfect
press If perfect. Old things are dying out
-ncw things are coming in; and with new
ness is perfection always, in the estimation
Of sanguine spirits. There Will come
time wlen we shall make nc errors-the
millennium will come; there will be 10 sim
ncrs III the land; there will be no absurd
distinctions about meum ami tcum: mino
shall be thine, thine mine; there will be no
difference between thief and an honest
man; virtue and vice will lose their respect
i've difference; and when L man steal4 his
neighbors goods, he will lie esteemed as
working only pro bono publico.
Some fine Scarfalctti tobacco from Mr..
Melvin N. Cohen. and widgcon, we'll
roasted, with some additnments, from the
cuisine of w. J. Thomas, suAiced us yes
tcrday, enabling us to snap our fingers at
butchers meat, and to dispense some of
our vapors in aromatic smoke But for
thcseximely considerations, VIC should, as
local editor" find the labor Of seeing the
suburbs and surveying the streets some
what oppressive one. You are to rcmem-
Der that the local editor is one whom Shak-
sPearc describes as tho snapper up of
,unconsidcrcd triflcS.'' He is not to be con-
founded with that sravcr parsonage, who
dignitics the. editorial .tGucua, and dis
courses solcmnlv on sacred and political
topics to wise Senators and patrician Rep
resentatives. We waS no grey beard-we
are not ambitious OF senioritv We are
content to sport along the tlowvrv paths of
life, to receive the bouquet from nhc dam
sci, hcarken to the midnight song of the
serenader, and drop in at the evening re-
past at the dwelling of the daetta,;e, who
has been so lucky as to save his cellar and
lts antique contents during the raid of
Sherman. While our venerable senior
scratches q solemn head in communion
with thought and politics, we are better
pleased to ramblc through Sidney Park
with fancy on one hand and beauty on tha
other.

THE FIRST New CorroN. C.
Guilleaume, merchant, of our city,
received on yesterday, from Darling
ton District, the first bale of new
cotton which has reached this mari ket.
The quality was good middling.
While on the sobject of cotton, we
may as well say that we regret to see
that, owing to the delay in complet-
ing our railroads, trade is passing
