Re,ppearancs Of the Sea serpent.

This wonderful serpent, whose peregrina-
+;ons have furnished food for millions of
credulous land-lubbers, and material for num-
berless yarns for old salts, appeared in
our waters some days ago. He was first seen
in the bayou, at or near the head of Main
street. Those who saw him represent him as
being twenty feet in length, and about a foot
in diameter, of copper color--something like
our COW snakes. How he got into the bay on
we have not as yet ascertained. Whether he
il the same serpent tfat has been seen by
Nantucket and New Bedford whalers in the
South seas, by voyagers around the Horn, in
the Gulf Stream, or in the neighborhood Of
the Azores, we can't say; but we do know
that his royal snakeship made his appearance
in the bayou, near the Memphis and Ohio
Railroad, last Friday, and was killed by some
of the citizens of that vicinity.
There is no hoax about the matter, for we
have our statement concerning it from Colonel
Jones, Superintendent of the Memphis and
Ohio Road, Mr.. Woodruff. and other gentle
men of truthfulness in regard to the monsters
dimensions, which are given above. The de-
cayed remains are now lying in the bayou,
and can yet be seen. This is certainly the
largest reptile of the kind ever positively
known as native of this continent, d a
great mistake was made in the killing of it,
when it might have been easily captured by
cutting of its passage back to the Missis-
sippi.--M Memphis Apaidnche.

corning the receipts at and shipments from

week or two more to get reports from Liver

and perhaps Of the eastern stocks also And
from this time forward the receipts from the
United States must steadily decrease, not,
perhaps, every week, but in such progression

To the Citizens of the City:
We have daily evidence before that there
exists in this city mum class of persons OF
all sizes, colors, sexes, and descriptions, whose
only vocation is to rob, piler and steal from the
industrious class of the community.
The limited police force, at present, under my
control (although ample for ordinary occasions
having large range to traverse throughout the
night, in order to accomplish their rounds through
the different beats of the city, is not expected to
be in close proximity to any building or dwelling
that may be entered and robbed.
The night thieves watch closely the movements
OF the police, and being constantly in close COM
munion with confederates, are thus enabled to
elude their vigilance, and penetrate any building
or dwelling they may choose to designate
ask the cooperation of the citizens in this, that
they be particularly regardu to the fastenings of
their doors and windows before retiring at night,
especially the back enrances,) to provide them
selves with the necessary means ofdetease, and to
use such promptly and effectually when necessity
demands it.
| would also caution the heads of families, in
reference to the employment Of strange and unre-
commended servants, to act in any capacity in
their family residences. My short experience, as
Mayor OF this city, enables me to say that very
many such obtain positions, and remain just long
enough to learn the usage of the family, the geo
graphy OF the house, and the whereabouts of the
valuables, alter which, framing some paltry ex-
cuse, abandon the employment. few days after
you are likely to hear that robbery has been
committed. Comment is unnecessary.

The Douglas Monument

Chicago August 1S.-The various commit
tees to whom are entrusted the carrying out
of the arrangements for laying the corner
stone OF the Douglas Monument are exerting
every effort to have everything complete for
the occasion. The stone will be laid with
Masonic ceremonies, and deposited in its place
by the Grand Master Of Illinois. The first
section of the monument is about half COM
pleted. The foundations are complete and
the tomb partly so. The structure has been
carried up seventeen feet. The speakers
stand will be erected Immediately beside the
monument and is intended to accommodate
about eight hundred people. This is to be
reserved exclusively for the President, Cabi-
net, Members of Congress, and other distin-
guished persons. Accommodations for the
press will be provided Immediately in front
of the stand, while the large grove will afford
standing room for the thousands who will be
present. The grove, which is close by the
monument and surrounded 10y plain wooden
fence, will be appropriately decorated, At
each corner will be erected pillar about thir-
ty feet in height; from these uprights will
spring four arches, which will be draped in
with black andwhite and festooned with roses.
Round the base Of the pillars will be arranged
number of flags, and all the way up they
will be draped with black and white, and
wreaths of roses and flags. The grave will
be covered with natural flowers. In front of
the grave will be placed upon a pedestal a
marble bust of Douglas and model of the
monument. There will be no other decora-
tons ofany kind on the ground.

The DISMAL SWAMP CANAL,-Our attention
was called some days ago to the condition of this
public highway. when we gave publicity to
the complaints and dissatisfaction which a
portion Of the people Of North Carolina had
expressed, who are almost dependent upon
this great artificial avenue in order to trans
port their crops to the Norfolk market
Our attention has again been called to the
fact that the masonry commenced on the
work some time ago has been suspended for
some time, for want of finds We know
nothing of the financial condition of the Com
pany, bnt we presume that the small amount
of funds required to complete these necessary
repairs could be borrowed, or raised without
much difficulty. The WORK should be put in
condition to afford to the public dependent
upon it, the transportation they need, and il
is to be hoped that steps will be taken to
place the canal in working order in time for
the fall trade.

REGATTA.-A contest came off yesterday
on the Elizabeth river between the River
Queen and Hard Tack, and six other beats
Besides these there was little fleet of boats
filled with gay people to witness the race.
The distance run was ten miles in one hour
and five minutes The contest was really be-
tween the first two boats named, the Hard
Tack winning the race by about length.
We hope there will be repetition of these
innocent and interesting aquatic contests, and
that wider notice of their occurrence will
be given as to time of starting, so that full
opportunity may be afforded the public to
witness them.

EXCURSION TO DEEP CREEK.-The little
village of Deep Creek, on the Southern branch
of the Eliza beth, or rather on the banks of
the Dismal Swamp Canal, had it's usual
monotony Of quetness broken in upon by an
arrival of party of freedmen or pleasure
bent" on Sunday, in the little steamer Fa-
vorite. They encamped, or rather retired to
the shade of the adjoining woods, where they
passed the day in quiet relaxation, returning
to the city in the evening, much gratifed
with the excursion.

The New YORK, PHILADELPHIA AND NOR
FOLK AIR L1NE.-This is owned by the great
Southern Inland Navigation Company, which
has given evidence of it's earnestness by pur-
chase and lease Of extensive wharf property
i'll our city, and should be encouraged The
route Of this company will be by steamer
from Norfolk to Annamessex on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, thence to Philadelphia
and New York by Railroad. The steamer
City of Norfolk will be placed on the line
about the 10Th of next month, and is now re-
ceiviDg her finishing touch. The City of Nor
folk is about the size of the Keso, but faster;
she will be a fine sea boat, well fitted and of
superior and first class accommodations This
line will reduce the time from Norfolk to
Philadelphia about twelve hours and to New
York sixteen hours. The keel of the second
boat has already been laid and she will be
placed on the line as soon as completed. As
the company has purchased wharf property
here, and to some extent identified itself with
our city, where all repairs to their boats, and
expenditures, will be made, it has reasonable
claims upon our support and encouragement,
The reduced time, however in which they
will connect with Philadelphia and New
York, will insure patronage and success.

The NORFOLK AoADEMY.-The improve

were in contemplation, have been COM

hall of learning. AS soon as they are finish
ed that portion OF the city will wear differ
ent appearance from that which has been
heretofore impaired to it by the vacant lot
and dingy building, which had seemed so
unseemly and called SO loudly for repair and
renovation. 1t is fine lot and handsome
building, and an ornament to the city, and we
hope will be kept in repair hereafter.
