Grant andthe Presidency.

~ Grant andthe Presidency.
MI. Wilson of Massachusetts has
Formally announced General Grant n
candidate for the Presidency. This
circumstance is Of no special impor.
lance, except MS conclusive of the fact,
already suspected, that the Commap,
der-ln-Chief OF the Federal Army, has
Abandoned the conservative positibn
he was understood TO, occupy, and has
committed himself TO the fortunes of
the Republican party. Mr.. Wilson
wonld not have hazarded the nomina?
lion in so ostentatious o STYLE. without
the sanction Of General Grant; and
General Grant would not have per.
omitted Mr.. Wilson to parade him be.
Wore the country in such an attitude, If
he refused the Radical alliance. Indeed,
Pie Massachusetts Senator was careful
IA proclaim that his party cspouses
fhe Commmderin- Chief for the spc-
tial purpose OF maintaining the Rad
gal ascendcncy, and reversing the
conservative policy of the Administra-
ion, We regret, for General Grants
PaSe, that he suffers himself to be used
n any such enterprise. Though not u
6reat soldier in any sense of the word,
e has yet won honorable renown in
ne field of battle, and we foresee from
IS candidacy M eclipse of his fame,
he magnanimity with which he re-,
pectcd the sensibilit;cs of his iliustri-!
us rival in the terms of capitulation,
nd the moderation with which he
subsequently proposed to treat the
Southern people, earned for him a
Alore honorable reputation than he had
Eained by all his military exploits.
4'his bright distinction he would sac
3itice to the chimera of q hopeless can
aidacy. 1t is a sad spectacle, the sud
len and irreparable fall Of q man
rom an eminent position which he
had attained by strenuous eXertion;
hnd the great masters Of the pathetic
art habitually select such a catastrophe
for their most touching defamation.
by the vivid contrast between his for
mer glory and his subsequent degrada-
tion, Satan, even, appeals to our
symyathies in the poets splendid
story. Should General Grant risk his
fame in q desperate struggle for the
Presidency, he will simply furnish
another signal illustration Of the
vicissitudes of human fortune. Perhaps
such u calamity might be thought an
appropriate catastrophe to his check
cred career.
For ourselves, we find enough ,dln-
|matic interest in human life, and We
have no desire to witness the tragical
downfall Of our Commander-in.Ch Chief.
ILct him, then, be content with his
present measure of prosperity, and
snot provoke the Nemesis OF fortune By
" TOO graaping ambition. Let him en-
10Y the Prerequisites Of his position and
Hhe homage Of the mob in quiet securi-
2y. As he is not familiar with ancient
Rabies, we viii remind him Of the as
individual whose attempt to quit
Ithc earth and clcaye the upper air,
breads an instructive lesson to foolish
people Of 4 prepostcrous ambition.
Not more absurd would be the endeay-
or Of Ulysses Grant to reach the Pres
|idency.--N. \. Nems.

full enjoyment of the Inequalities and
the rich scenery of the old North State,
still, from the we'll known geniality of
spirit of the gentlemen comprising
the party and the warmth of their
generous natures, we predict that they
will have gay and agreeable excur-
sion, and perhaps some of us who have
been left behind may yet regret our
want of moral courage to embark III the
expedition and dare the dangers of the
voyage through the canal and the cruise
n the sound. There will be no lack Of
conviviality, and the locks in the cana
will require frequent inspections,
while that part of the steamers rigging
known as the mainbraces" will de-
mand repeated splicing; but we think
all will return safe from the expedition,
and we trust they will bring back to us
from Albemarle the RIM" that wears
the golden fleece" of North Carolinas
rich commerce. We bespeak for them
a welcome at all points on the route,
and hope their laudable eflorts'to extend
the trade of Norfolk may be crowned

IN SEARCH OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE.

Since the days when Jason and his
jolly companions left port on board
the famed ship ArgO, in search of the
golden fleece, or Columbus and his de-
voted followers sailed from Palos to find
a new world, no more important expe-
dition has trusted itself to the mercy Of
the winds and waves, including the
dangers of the raging canal" than the
one which left our wharf yesterday, In
the fine steam-tug Gazelle, commanded
by Captain Byers, to explore the rich
but comparatively unknown lands, and
visit the embryo cities, that border
along the multitudinous streams OF
North Carolina. The object of the ex-
pedition is to endeavor to extend the
trade of Norfolk into the depths of that
terra incognito which is washed by the
Chesapeake and Alternate Canal and
Roanoke River. 1t was composed OF q
large number of our first and most
liberal and : enterprising merchants,
whose names haye only to be mentioned
and the energy with which they will
carry out their designs. When such
gentlemen as Col VIM. Lamb, Porter
Sherman, Col. George Sangster, VIM.
H. Hudgins, w. HI. G. Levitt, Marshall
Parks, VIM. Lockhart and others, who
left in the Gazeile on this merltorious
expedition, are combined in an enter
prise there need be no apprehensions OF
failure, no matter how great the magni-
tude of the undertaking. These gentle
men have for their principal object an
extension of the trade of Norfolk, with
the ADJACENT as well as the more distant
sections of North Carolina, which are
tapped by our many excellent water COM
m1nication facilities. They Will visit
Elizabeth City ,Edenton, and other points
on their proposed route of voyage, and
have social talk with the people, inter-
change views, and endeavor to establish
better understanding among those who
ought to be, and we trust will soon be-
come, our best customers and the future
patrons of the growing trade of Norfolk.
They are prepared to offer renewed in
ducements to the farmers and traders
and people generally in that section for
transacting business in this city on more
advantageous terms than they can OBJ
tain elsewhere, and will use every effort
tn bind those worthy neighbors to US by
the strongest ties of friendship as well as
ofiuterest. Thecxpedition partakes more
of the character of q pleasure excursion
than of selfish business trip, and not
withstanding the weather is not the
most propitious, and the season OF the
wear is somewhat unfavorable for the

SToNEwALL's WIDOW. Several young
gentlemen of this city, belonging to the
Thespian society, have made prepare
tions to give supplementary benefit on
Friday evening, at the Opera House, for
the widow of General Jackson. They
intend representing the fifth act OF
Richard I'LL, and also the combat scene
between Fitzjames and Rhoderick Dhu,
in SCOTS Lady of the Lake, besides
which there will be singing, dancing
and banjo playing sufficient to make up
a most entertaining and interesting bill
of performances. The object is highly
commendable, and we trust, the fund
for the widow of the gallant soldier will
be greatly increased through the efforts
of these young gentlemen. The cause
alone should crowd the theatre.

MORE EXPLOSIONS.

Steamboat explosions seem to be mat
ters of daily occurrence on the MISSISSIPPI
pi river. We have now the news of the
destruction of the steamer w. r. Carter,
at Island SO, and of the towboat Baltic
as she was leaving the wharf at New
Orleans. The following are the particu-

The steamer Evening Star brought
MANY of the saved here. Some were
transferred to the steamer Luna, bound
for Memphis. The officers and men OF
the Evening Star rendered all assistance
possible to thesufferers.
The engineer was saved. He says no
cause can be assigned for the explosion.
The machinery was running smoothly,
and the boat going slowly at the time.
The steamer Emerald picked up three
persons whose names are unknown.

Captain Hurd, brother to the Captain of
