The New Route to New York.

The following important dispatch an
nounces the approach to completion Of a
new route to New York, which is destined
to become most popular and dangerous
rival of existing communications between
the North and South:
FORTRESS MONROE, Sept. 28.-The steamer City
OF Norfolk, belonging to the new Air Line between
Norfolk ana New York. made her first trip yester-
day, arriving at Norfolk at O'Clock, P. NJ from
Anamessex, on the Eastern shore of Virginia,
where it connects with the rairod for Philadephia
and New York. Passengers leaving Norfolk in
the evening will arrive at New York the next morn
ing. The City Of Norfolk is a steamer snd
was built at Wilmington, Del 1t is proposed, as
soon as the line gets to working, 20 pla on the
route another steamer so that passengers can leave
Norfolk both in the morning aud evening. The
great benefit to the travelling public afforded by
this line Of steamers cannot be ovtrstated.-
Twelve or fourteen hours will be saved in travel
ing to New York from Norfolk, and about teL dol
lars will be saved in travelling expens &. The
rates Of fare established by the old Bay Lne OF
Steamers, from Norfolk to Baltimore, have ben
increased since the withdrawal of the Leary Line,
and this will tend to divert large portion If The
travel from this old and well-knOwn route.

he was greeted with funeral honors, and
the noble heart of Pelham passed into his

much mourning throughout the South.

The timber for this bridge has been cut
down in the forest transported to Newbern,
squared, and cut, and the entire bridge
framed and ready to be put up over
month Finer timber we never saw, and
finer workmanship it is difficult to find as
any person can see by stepping over few
yards from the depot The Superintendent
of Bridges and Repairs, Mr.. JOS J. Rob

in this matter, and himself great credit
Everything being now ready, the erection
of the bridge will at once begin and be
carried on without any delay in the passage
of trains. This bridge is 1900 feet long

Nor BAD YEARS WoRK.-A gentleman
who has recently been travelling through
the State of North Carolina, and who has
had good opportunities for observation, in
forms us that things in that State look very
favorable for hopeful progress. The people
of the State are adapting themselves to the
altered condition of affairs with prompt
ness, and are evincing sagacious DISPOSE
tion to encourage business enterprise in the
State through the Introduction Of capital
and business experience from abroad. Men
of enterprise and capital from the North,
disposed to settle in that State have not
been repelled or driven out as they have
been from other portions of the South
and the consequence is that many have
staked their fortunes and interests there,
and are cooperating heartily with public
spirited citizens of North Carolina in es-
tablishipg business enterprise in the way Of
manufactures, canal, railroads, drainage,
planting, &C., &C., calculated to place North
Carolina in the front rank Of Southern
States.
Some experiments this year in the way
of drainage, and in the use of the immense
store of mari in that State, have demon
strated that the planting interests of North
Carolina are capable of the most extraor-
dinary development and expansion AS an
evidence, in the language of Sam Patch
that ' some things can be done as we'll as
Others" our informant states that two
Northern men who paid SO, 900 in gold for
plantation in Pitt county, have realized
already $780, 600 on their investment. Two
years ago neither of them knew cotton
from rice. They have hired freedmen,
opening school for their benefit evenings,
and IN other ways encouraging them to
steady, industrious habits and the result
has been most satisfactory, as above indi-
Gated The gentleman from whom we
gather this information states that it will
be requisite for the people of North Caro-
lima to at once re-establish their school sys-
tenn, broken down by the war, unless they
are willing that the freedmen should out
strip the "poor whites" in education, as
at present with the Freedmen's Bureau
schools, &C., the blacks are getting about
all the free schooling afforded in the State
Thus at Raleigh there are fifteen schools
for negroes in operation and none for

FROM WASHINGTON.

Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-
The Tax Collections from Cotton-Southern
Planters md Factors Memorial-Unfa-
vorable Decision-The Payment of Boun-
ties-Mr. Davis's Case
WASHINGTON, October 2.-The ATTORNEY
General, in response to an inquiry of the
President on the subject, has given an
opinion to the effect that the President can
not separate the districts for the collection
of the tax on cotton from the districts for
the assessment and collection of the tax on
other products.
This was the point which the delegation
OF Southern cotton factors and planters
presented in their memorials to the Presi.
dent few days since. The Secretary OF
the Treasury has also denied the applicr-
tions to have the boundaries of the collec-
ton districts changed, on the ground that
it would take longer for the new appointees
to qualify, select and instruct their assis
tants, &c, than it would for the present
officers to appoint a sufficient number ot
assistants and deputies.
All inquiries as to why the payment OF
bOuntles does not commence, after the re-
cent announcement on the subject will be
answered by a careful reading of the first
paragraph of the rules and regulations pre-
scribedfor the presentation of claims, which
is as follows "All applications shall be
filed within the period of six months from
the first day of October, 1866, and, before
any payments are made, shall be classified
by regiments, battalions or other separate
organizations ;and no application fled af-
ter that period shall be settled until the
former shall have been paid"
It appears that neither Judge Chase nor
Judge Underwood made arrangements to
hold court at Richmond to-day, in pursu-
ance of the adjournment of the court in
June last, for the trial of Mr.. Davis. Judge
Underwood is at his home in Alexandria,
and the United States district attorney of
Virginia is here. learn by private dis
patch from Richmond that none of the Of
ticers of the court, not even the United
States marshal, made their appearance at
the courthouse in that city.
Since writingthe above, I learn that Uni
ted States District Attorney Chandler ap-
peared at the courtroom and announced
that the court would not convene at this
time.

Scandal About the Emperor Napoleon.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
World writes as follows
The French masters now very sick at st Cloud,
and his wife and whep," as the Fauburg st.
German calls the Prince Imperial, are en- route to
Biarritz. The Empress has no element of a gov
ernness. She belongs to the Josephine and Hor-
tense type OF women, gay dressers an sweet CO.
Catherine de Medlcis or Marie Therese about her.
The Prince Imperial is as yet doll figure, whom
nobody has gauged. The Emperor himself worn
down by the excesses of life alternately i'm
prlsoned and absolute, must be nearly at the end
OF his reckoning, and even now they whisper" Z"
increasingly that he is drawing to the exit door
HIS reign has been to you, who see it from with
out, stately heartless one, bad Ill its beginning,
but vindicated by brilliant achievements To those
who have looked upon it within, it is marked by
worse than the elderly debasement of courts, par
taking at times of the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the stews.
The affair OF Margot is not yet STALE that may
tell it to you.
Margot is common Iorette, known at the balls
OF the Rue des Victories. She was beheld by tho
Emperor in the Bois de Boulogne. He despatched
after her, and discovered her residence. Visits
were frequent OF evenings no pains being taken to
appoint more secluded rendezvous, and with
these the Empress, though well apprised made no
nterterdnce, hex habit being to give all liberty to
her supreme. One night word came TO the house
nold to despatch Immediately for the Emperor,
Rue --. He found there in @ state between
spasm aud paralysis. They brought him home.
Evebody was alarmed and JOu5Grt, his phi yslcian,
advised more ahste miousness. Az for Msrgnt, the
kmpIess sent to her, persuaeively asking that she
be allowed to defrsy her expenses out OF france,
at least out OF Paris. MarSot saupty replied, that
she had as much right &c., and shouldn't be de-
trayed nor persuaded. bf course it w-s cot eti-
quette tC broach the thing to the Emperor, nor
hsw could he so retort upon one whose r1agnetism
had been so irresistible. Therefore, hlar ot, who
told the story freely, grew in great request, and
an American gentleman, who danced with her a
few weeks ago, states that her heart melted but a
day and week to the Imperial charms that she
