ARRIVAL OF A U. S. GUNBoAT IN OUR
WATERs-THE O1.D "ADvANcE. - Our
port was again thrown into il state of Gu .
riosity and excitement by the arrival yes
terday afternoon of tho U. S. Gunboat
" Frolic," from New York, under orders
of the proper Department OF Washington.
The Frolic left New York on the 7th
instant, and is commanded by Commander
Henry Wilson of the U. S. Navy. She
has all armament of nine guns, with q full
complement of men.
The first act of the commander was to
forbid Commodore Higgins, of the Cuban
steamship "Cnba," from leaving port
until the case of his vessel had been def
nitely decided. In this Commander Will
son stated that he was acting under the
orders of the President. The correspon-
dence appe ars in this issue.
The "Frolic will be better recollected
az the Advance" purchased during the
late war by the State of North Carolina for
the purpose of running the blockade and
supplying the State troops IN the field with
the necessary arms and munitions of war,
clothing and provisions. She made several
successful trips into our port, whereby the
necessities of North Carolina soldiers were
greatly relieved, but was finally captured
by the blockadlng fleet, Her dimensions,
capacity and speed are quite familiar to
large portion of our readers.

ever, should always display small,
neatly cut sandwiches, sardines,
pickled oysters, and o few such
substantials, as many gentlemen
prefer them to anything else, and
will not touch cake. There should
also be small dishes Of delicate
pickles, some good pineapple
cheese, fruit that can be eaten, and
home made cake. FOO.
Gentlemen, who refuse every
thing else, will sometimes take a
piece of home made hickory-nut
