The frontage clear around the point of
Manhattan Island is to be advanced 100 feet
into the North and East rivers, and the
bay at Castle Garden. Then the docks are
to be made regular, and two railroad tracks
are to run clear around the island. This
one hundred feet, added to the seventy-fve
feet which we now have, will give a splendid

The Pelaris, the vessel selected by Captain
Hall for his Arctic expedition, arrived from
Washington this morning. She was hauled
into the navy yard at Brooklyn, where she
remains ready to start northward. Those
of the crew who accompanied former expe-
ditions, speak enthusiastically of the pre-
parations made by Captain Hall, and are
hopeful of his discovery of the northwest
passage to the open Polar sea.
The Polaris will take in supplies to last
to a point in Greenland where she will
await the coming of the storeship supply
with additional provisions. The reception
to Captain Hall and officers, to be rendered
by the American Geographical Society, will
come off next week.

Immigration from North Carolina.

Two or three weeks ago some sixty-three
colored men left Tarboro. North Carolina,
for the Teche region in Louisiana, induced
to do so by the expectation of higher
wages. We learn from private correspond
enee that on the morning Of the ninth in
slant over fifty more hands left the same
point for the parish of St. Mary, in this
State. The reason for this emigration from
North Carolina and immigration into Lou
isiana is that wages in North Carolina are
only from five to twelve dollars a month.

There have been several squads or com.
panies, not less than two or three hundred,
OF colored voters, during the past few
months, carried from the farms contiguous
to the town of Tarboro to Louisiana and
other points South by agents who offer
large inducements TO secure this immigra-
ton of Republicans.

Preservation of Wood.

The following is an extract from the re
port of Dr. Joseph Jones, Professor of Chem
istry in the Medical Department of the
University of Louisiana, New Orleans, on
the process of Mr.. n H. Thomas for the
preservation of wood from decay and the
action of water and marine animals:
New ORLEANS, June Ia, 1871
In the process of Mr.. Thomas
the essential conditions for the thorough
saturation and preservation OF wood with
a CHEAP inocuous antiseptic fluid are COM
petely fulfilled.
The albuminous matters of the wood are
coagulated and the sap converted into
steam by heat, and the wood, thus treated,
is plunged into boiling rosin oil. The rosin
oil permeates the pores OF the wood, and
not only prevents the introduction of mOis-
ture and oxygen, but 1t also, In virtue of its
own indestructible and antiseptic proper
ties isimilar in most respects to those pos
sessed by the material used by the Egyp-
tians in embalming dead bodies, and which
has resisted decomposition for ages, pre-
serves the wood from decay and the destruc
tive action of plants and animals
Wood thus prepared is increased in tena-
city and specific gravity, and presents the
appearance and properties of the fat light
wood of the pitch pine, and will resist for
great periods of time decomposition in
moist earth and water; and experiments
have shown that it will not be attacked by
the marine animals, which are so destruc
tive to shipping and pilings in salt water.
1t is possible, by the process of Mr..
Thomas, to convert any kind of porous
wood and turn the most inferior qualities of
sap wood into dense, indestruetible wood,
of equal, if not superior quality to the best
pitch pine.
This process, applied to the wood used in
pavements, houses, railroads, bridges, ships
and wharves, will enhance the value of the
materials at least threefold at a small addi-
tional cost.

ment of the University of Louisiana, New

Colonel James Nelligan, who has for a
number of years past been a prominent
member of this community, died yesterday
morning at halfpast eight o'clock. We are
informed that the cause of his death was a
virulent cancer in the breast, rendering a
surgical operation necessary, under which
patient sunk.
Colonel Nelligan was native of the
island of Jamaica, and had resided in the
South many years. He was colonel of a
regiment in the confederate service, but at
the close of the war accepted the result,
and settled himself in business in this city.
His course since the reconstruction of the
State has been in accord with that of the
Republican party. Colonel Nelligap was a
very popular man in this community, and
his adhesion to the Republican party had
no doubt great influence among large
class. His funeral will take place this
afternoon.

Restoration of the Pope.
PARIS, June 14.-The Republican mani
festo which appeared to-day is signed by
eighty-one deputies of the left in the AS
sembly. 1t accuses the monarchist dep
uties of not keeping the agreement made at
Bordeaux. whereby it was stipulated that
partisan politics should be avoided, and
charges that the legitimate members from
the provinces are intriguing for the restora-
ton of monarch and for Intervention in
Italy in favor of the Pope.
Many communist prisoners were dis
charged to-day for the want of evidence
against them.
The Temps remarks that the French
bishops are actively moving for the re-
instatement of the Pope in his temporal
possessions.
In the Assembly to-day General Troehu
continued the defense of his administration
of military affairs. He gave minute ac-
count of the sorties during the German
siege of Paris, and Of the reasons for max

the fact that the Germans used their ar
tillery only.

have engaged them. His main plan had
been for grand sortie toward Rouen, but
after the victory of Coulmiers public opinion
demanded junction of the garrison of
Paris with the army of the Loire, which was
sheer madness.
One of the greatest obstacles to the con-
duct of successful defense was the disOr-
derly element in Paris, which was instigated
to rebel by Bismarck, and to this end was
furnished with arms from the enemy out
side. He stigmatized the commencement of
the bombardment by the Germans without
formal notice as an unparalleled violation
of the rules of civilized warfare.

LONDON.
The Times on the Treaty of Washington

The Times on the Treaty of Washington.
LONDON, june 14.-The Times says of the
treaty of Washington: 1t was not England
alone who yielded some of her claims. The
United States also made great concessions.
The Times considers it unprecedented that
such grave difference between nations as
the Alabama claims should have been set
tied without a resort to arms. The demand
for consequential damages for injury done
American commerce by the Alabama, and
kindred vessels, was unacceptable to the
English commissioners, and was abandoned
by the United States.
The Times in conclusion expressed the
hope that, taking pattern from the adjust
ment of the American questions, the ma
tions of Europe will rise to higher con-
ception of aims and the duties of interna-
tiOnai fellowship.
