TuE DIsrrLERIEs AND THE GRAND JURY.
The grand Jury OF the United States Cir
cult Court have been very busily engaged
during the last two days in considering
the cases Of the disillcrs OF this city and
its vicinity. No definite action has at vet
been arrived at, and from what We have
been able 10 learn, nothing will be done
with them. There is, however, one thing
which may be said in their favor, and the
facts will bear us out in the assertion, that
the diStillcrS in this district have paid a
larger tax into the treasury, in proportion
to their business, than in any other city oil
the Union, north or south.
INTERESTING To PILoTs AND Mariners
We are reliably informed that immediate
steps will be taken By the Lighthouse Bu-
reau to replace all the buoys on James
river which have been destroyed during
the last few years. This will be good
news TO mariners and ship-owners; for
, almost every vessel bound to our port
, runs aground one or more times be-
fore reaching City Point for the want o
these invaluable guides. The lighthouse
at Deep Water shoals, below Mulberr,
island, will also be replaced which will b,
another great aid TO quick navigation.
is exceedingly desirable that, when tn,
work Of river improvements is commenced
the. old wrecks and distractions be re
moved and a free channel be opened.
