MARINE.-The United States revenue
steamer Kan-kon-kee, Commander Baker,
having coaled up on the Portsmouth side on
Wednesday, went to sea yesterday morning
on cruise. From the unsettled state of the
weather, and the almost perceptible bad spell
that is about taking place, the services of this
steamer will be needed on our immediate
coast very early. Captain Baker evidently
studies his barometer, and knows when to 20
out to the rescue of his professional unfortu-
Mates
''Those who go down to the sea ia great
ships see the wonders thereof" but our iniqui-
tous DEVIL remarks, "Those who go down in
small briggs and schooners see h--l,"-these are
the class that the Kan-kan-kee goes out to
rescue.

taken him away from the company he was in;
He passed the night in the watch house, and

MAYORS CoUEr. Portsmouth. I'm the alb
sence of Mayor Collins, Justice Tucker pre-
sided over the Mayors Court in Portsmouth
yesterday morning, but, be it said to the
credit of the city, very little was done, the
only case appearing being that of Michael
O'Brien, charged with drunkenness, disorderly
conduct, and fighting Michael Haney, for
which offences he was fined in the sum of ten
dollars and costs, amounting in the aggregate
to twelve dollars and fifty cents.
Under the head of police items, we would
notice the fact of a half demented, half drunk
en- negress being dragged through the streets
from the county jail, and sent to the Military
Court, in this city, for trial, charged as above.
The conduct of this woman was as disgrace
full as bad whiskey and an unbalanced mind
could make it, and officer Murphy, who
had her in custody, could with difficulty res
train her from assaulting every person who
passed her. Two other colored offenders
brought up the rear of the disorderly column
IN t'ansitu to the Mayors office, but as that
functionary was not in the Chair, and his
proxy had left, the officers in charge of the
parties brought them over on their own res
possibility, and turned them over to the mil
itary authorities, in this city for trial.
Our sister city was, for once, quiet and or
derby on Tuesday night, and no arrests, save
the above mentioned, were made. The grog
shops and places of disrepute closed early in
the evening, and quiet and order held sway
until daylight, when the old reps, who had
been slowed away behind bars and back
rooms, creeped out to get their eye-openers,
and commenced another day of debauchery,
and of couse disorder
The day book. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1857-1867, 1865-11-03

DOMESTIC LABoR.-Very many complaints
have reached us lately as to the great difficulty
If procuring suitable, accommodating and
Wiling colored help, and we very much fear
that there are good grounds for these COM
nlaints. One lady, who has been reared in
his State. and who of course has always been
accustomed to colored domestics, has given us
some of her experience in this matter. She
COWS that she would vastly prefer colored help
70 white. because she knows little or nothing
obont white servants, and knows how to get
o1ono with colored ones. But the trouble
now seems to be to get colored woman who
is willing to make herself generally useful.
If YOU undertake to employ colored woman,
che will nine cases in ten refuse to do any
thing but cook If she is to be employed in
the kitchen. she refuses to go IN the house,
and if she is to be employed IN the house, she
refuses to go in the kitchen. In most cases
This is the great difficulty; small family,
with moderate means, cannot afford to employ
j cook and a house servant and perhaps a
nnrse. and even if they could, there is not
sufficient work to keep the whole brigade en-
,,loved. What we want now is the ''maid of
all work." the old system of having a servant
at every elbow, and in the kitchen, and hall,
and chamber and nursery, had its origin in
the old exploded system of slavery; but like
slavery. it is numbered among the things that
were Servants now must be servants, and
not the pampered menials" they have been.
The colored population are now free, and must
"work out their own salvation" and if they
do not want to see the white help come in and
FIJI the places now open to them, they must
take hold and apply themselves to whatever
domestic duty their hands can find to do. It's
all nonsense to talk about not being able to
nerform the multiform duties of q family, for
this very day, thousands Of refined ladies'
whose delicate forms never before knew what
labor was, are performing all the domestic
duties of their own quiet, neat and well ar
ranged homes.
The colored females must, in a majority of
cases work for their living; and what better
spe,ies of work can they find than is now
presented to them in the homes of the peo-
pie who have raised them, and who know and
feel for their condition. In these homes they
have the refining and humanizing influences
of virtue and refinement, and the history OF
their race for two hundred years past proves
that they are sure of that sympathy and at
tention which they deserve. And If they
study their own best interests, they will at
once and forever drop all their foolish notions
about work and accept the situations offered
them with the full understanding that they
are not to be cooks or chambermalds eXclu-
sively, but that they are to make themselves
generally useful Such situations are min
itely superior to their present occupation OF
peddling pies and cakes on the corners, or OF
spending life of dissipation and shame IN
the lanes and byplaces of our crowded cities,
