Tue REGISTRATION OF VOTERS III the Sc
cond Ward Of Washington City WAS COM
pIeted on Friday last. The correspondent
Of the Baltimore tS"'s says the whole mum
Der s Of votes registered Is 2,275; whites
500, colored !, 1873, giving a colored MAORI
ty Of 1873. With the majority il the first
Ward and with the white republicans in
each, republican majority Of about one
thousand is claimed in these two wards. -
Where al the colored people come from is
amystery, aud it is seriously doubted wleth
er SO large number would have been re-
gistered if the white citizens Lad given due
attention to the registry and compelled ev-
cry man to establish beyond question his
right to be registered. As ii is, the power
has been thrown into the hands of the col
ored people, just where Congress desires it
to be. This is proved by the poll lists Of the
second ward, which a year ago showed over
1900 white voters"
The registration of voters in North Caro-
lima will certainly be ordered ere long, and
we think it is the duty of every lover of
his State and of the elective franchise, to
make up his mind and be prepared to place
himself in the position to enable him to

Efty Directory for 1861,

We lave received from the publisher,
Smaw's Wilmington Directory for 1867 1t
is Il volume comprising 232 pages, and il
neatly printed, containing matter Of great
interest to tic citizens Of the community.
The directory of white and colored persons
approaches as near completion as IS posi-
bic for i work Of this character, and from
IL personal inspection We do not hesitate to
express the belief that it is reliable and &C
curate, except Ill Il very few instances. The
number Of advertisements contained Ill the
work is III evidence Of liberal patronage,
such is is not generally bestowed.
Not tho most unattractlye feature Of the
Directory is the commercial and historical
sketch Of the city which it contains, the
production Of the pen and the result of the
labor Of our young fellow toWnSman, Mr.. J.
T. James. The sketch embraces a period
extending from Il date anterior to the set
tloment of the place to the present time
It is very clearly written III u pleasant
STYLE and will commend itself to the has
ty reader, as well as to those nearly allied to
the interests of the city.
1t appears to have been the intention of
the writer, in undertaking this work, to
gather together facts concerning the histo
ry of the Cape Fear region, many of which
had never been published, and collect them
in the form Of this sketch for the benefit of
postcrity, thus adding his mite to contrib
ute to the knowledge of future generations
and to preserve the record ofthe heroic deeds
and llntarnished escutcheon of our ances
tors. AS the writer says, his task has been
no easy one, as much concerning the early
days of our city has been unwritten, and
long since forgotten with the death of those
who bore amost active part in her history.
The struggles of our forefathers for free
dom i'll the first great revolution are refer
red to at considerable length; and The part
III this last and greatest struggle, is de-
scribcd rs its merits demand. State
ments regarding, the mineral resources
Of the Cape Fear region, and the great adj
vantages Of Wilmington as II seaport, being
the natural outlet Of this buried wealth,
are placed before the mind i'll that position
which an entcrprisinS mercantile commu
nifty cannot fail to recognize, and hence
act with a knowledge of their advantages.
On the whole, we think the sketch should
claim q place in the Il istory Of our section,
containing, asitdoes, much which has hith
crto remained unwrittcn, and full de-
scription of the attack of Fisher and 6llbse-
quent fall of Wilmington, and II just COM
mcntary OF the Causes which assisted i'll
this result.

A Big Eruit Cron.

Our country friends tell us they antici-
pate large yield of fruit the coming sea-
son, from the fact that the weather has not
been warm enough to cause the buds to
spring forth and be killed by an after cold
spell. 1t is now so late in the season that
when the buds do put forth, the weather
will be SO warm as to put them beyond
danger of being killed. We hope these
anticipations may be fully realized

r. T. TYSON, Maryland State Geological:
Dear Sir During our interview at An
napolis some months since, you expressed
the opinion that the analysis of lime for
publication in your reports should be Of
samples taken as the cargo is delivered
on The farm. You will remember that
told you that had such sample taken last
April, while on visit to my farm. l annsA
the analysis, and think that it represents one
of the best varieties of the ''Schuylkill Lime
of Pennsylvania. The sample was taken
before it was slaked, and represents a great
many Jumps from different parts of a cargo
of 1000 or 5000 bushels. These were pow
dered and fairly sampled-the balance Of the
sample being preserved in glass in our cab
net.
I paid i2t cents per bushel unslaked, and
have since obtained 600 bushels from til.
same source. The sample taken from the
second load was taken beneath the surface
of the heap, and from several parts of the
heap after it had been slaked for several
weeks on my farm.
! am thus particular In giving you the
circumstances under which this sample was
taken--as you told me that 1t was your In
tention to procure samples representing the
lime that the manufacturer sells to the far
mer, land not such as is sent for analysis.
The cargo was accidentally" presented
at the landing during my visit to my farm,
and the captain assured me that it was from
the quarries of W. B. RAMBO, near Norris.

LIGHT HousEs.-J Morton Poole & Co.. are
constructing two iron screw-pile light HOUSES for
the Southern coast. These are the first of the
kind they have put up since the war, but before
the war they built great many of them, and as
so many of the light houses on the Southern coast
have been destroyed and must be speedily re-
placed, they will probably build good many
more. These houses have metallic frames and
are built here entire and then taken apart and
shipped to their destination and put together
again. The piles on which they rest are made
screw shape at the lower end and are screwed
down into the sand. Light houses Of this elias.
are lighter and cheaper than any other kind ant
can be put up where no other kind could be built
A s'sandy foundation" is no bar To their erection

Grecley 10 WILLIE

The following letteris printed in the Home
among the "reminiscences of the
late N. p. Willis =
New YORK, November is. 1854.
FRIEND WILLIS:
Have you ever thought how rapidly we of
the press gang glide down into Oblivion after
we are once sodded over? How the octavos
we may have written speedily dwindle to
l2mos, then the lsmos, or pamphlets, until
fifty years hence, the mu.titudes who shall
then be tabernacled in the flesh will know us
only by some scrap or passage preserved to
some still extant "American Reader or
" Woman's--(no, l forgot; there are no
young ta2ies) Common Place Book" And,
il we happen TO have written anything es-
pecially stupid-as the best of lis will some
times do-that will probably be the very
passage picked out by leaden Mediocrity to
hand down our names to Posterity
You know don't mean by all this to in
snuatc that rank myself among authors, as
you may fairly do. | am only a sorry hack
ofth daily press, writing, riding, and speak
ing for bread and the due diffusion of what
seems to me important TRUTH have never
found time to address a letter to Posterity--
have had all could do in Strengthening out
the crookedness of this present evil and per-
verse generation, and l see clearly that l
shall be out of breath before finish the job.
And it is rather sad to think that, before
l9C0. some antiquarian poke-nose will be
breaking his back over great baleful file: of
old papers, in the Aston Library, ard will
there stumble across my name and, perhaps
alight on some paragraph about me which
fires his curiosity, and will thereupon set on
foot inquiries concerning me, which will re-
suit in satisfying him that was engaged
with one Bennett in starting and editing a
paper called The Herald and Tribune.
which was famous, in its day, for Its assaults
on religion, society and decency. Where
upon he will turn back to his ploddings re-
frcshed, enlightened, and satisfied.
Well: the upshot Of all this is that wish
you would edit and publish complete Sc.
