find this place very much changed since 1859
but still in many respects the Newbern of old Fire
has laid waste that part of the city which stood
the Washington Hotel, the old Court House and
Market, and other portions of the town bear ugly
scars received under the attacks of the devouring
element different times But contra to this good
deal of improvement has been made. Mclean Co.
have built magnificent edice the site of the old
State Bank. The store of the Messrs. Mclean Co.
is perhaps equaled but not exceled in size and style
by that of the Messrs. Tucker in Raleigh, but by
none other in the South known TO the writer. MIR
Mclean is gentleman in every sense of the word
and possesses the confidence and esteem of the cit
zens. 1t is unnecessary to add that he docs very
large business and that since my sojourn here have
seen of his large and efficient corps of assistants
idle. Weinstein s Bro, Baer s Eppler, and Others
have fine Dry Goods establishments Pollok street.
Mr. Amyett every bodys 'John'') does extensive
business South Front street, in the Grocery and

driving their several avocations in the of

he touches turns to gold. MIR NJ. is also Proprietor
OF the Gaston House, and when add that the House

Many old citizens have died since was here last,

Congress-.

During the past week nothing of Importance was
done by Congress. The House passed bill decar-
ing the public lands granted to certain Railroads in
the South forfeited. These lands lie in Florida,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and were do
mated by the Government in 1856 to aid in building
Railroads.
In anticipation of suits against Gen. Grant, Gen
Meade and Gen Ruger for interfering with the local
| affairs of the State of Georgia, Congress passed
resolution authorizing the Secretary of War to
ploy counsel to defend these officers.
The correspondence between the President and
Gen Grant, in relation to the War Office, was sub
mitted TO the Senate last week. 1t shows that Gen
Grant deceived the President meanly and wifuy.
The Reconstruction bill is still under consd-
