CHRISTMAS.

words that would seem old and hackneyed and worn out, were it not for their beautiful significance, and that no other words can be found to exactly take their place. Yes, this salutation is very old. It has sounded thro' the world once year, ever since the stars sang together with joy. and the Angels shouted, "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth and good will to men," It is uttered by fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends, wh er- ever Christianity is known and good will is felt. It is heard in the cottage of the poor as we'll as in the palace of the wealthy, and though often uttered lightly, is perhaps as generally used with true feeling and fervor, and with as full a realization of it's import, as any other pharse in human language. It is a season of joy and festivity. It is a season of reunions, when old friendships are cemented and new friendships formed, when the asperities and chickering's that will arise among men, should be forgotten and laid away forever.
 Thus with a heart full of good will, we send greeting to the readers of the SENTINEL and the rest of mankind, including, of course, all womankind, A MERRY CHRISTMAS. To all our friends, especially, everywhere, we wish health. happiness and prosperity. May they partake in full of all the joys of the festive season, and as you gather around the social board, or the hallowed domestic hearth, think of those who are far away; think of the poor, the sick and the unfortunate, and let your pockets answer to the calls of humanity. Remember that in every community, however pros porous, there are always some afflicted persons, to whom the holidays bring no pleasure, un- less the hearts and hands of their more fortunate fellow-beings are opened to them. Let them not be forgotten. And particularly remember the printer. Swell his subscription list, fill up his adver- Using columns, send him good things and the season will be blessed to you. Remember
 "He who takes the papers,
 And pays his bills when due.
 May live in peace with all mankind,
 And with the printer too"
 To our enemies, if we have any, we would say. may the genial in- fiuences of the happy season soft en and turn their hearts. We have never Intentionally injured man, woman or child in tbe world. We are not infallibIe. No man is. That is an attribute of God alone. We know that we are liable to make mistakes, but they are "errors 0f the head and not of the heart" But if we have an enemy just because he wishes to be so, out of the pure bitterness ofhis heart. he has our permission to go to the Devil.
 Friends, before we can greet you again in the columns of the SENTINEL, the year 1875 will have passed away and 1876 dawned upon the earth. What the new year has in store for us is locked up in the womb of the future. But it is a good time to review the past, and where we find we have erred. endeavor to improve upon it in the new year. Let all un- pIeasantness between man and man, and man and woman, be buried with the old year, and let us commence the new year with clean sheets and clean cOnsciences

 Chas. A. Wetmore arrived here from San Diego last night. The first thing this morning he called upon Major-General Schofield and had formal interview with him on the subject of the troubles on the Mexican border. east of San Diego. MT. Wetmore explained the situation as fully as possible in the the absence of the papers which are to arrive from the San Diego committee tonight. Gen. SchOfield expressed himself as much interested, so much so, in fact, that he made inquiries in regard to the military property at San Diego, the barracks, etc., and what accommodations troops would have if sent. The papers from San Diego will be presented to the General tomorrow, when some action will be taken. Horses for Cavalry could be purchased in San Diego, but there is no money now on hand for that use. If sent, cavalry must go overland as far as possible, by railroad, which will be long trip.

 SAN FRANCISCO, December 22- EvENING.-Mr. c. A. Wetmore had long interview with Genl. Schotield to-day, and presented all the papers forwarded from San Diego, which will be sent on to Washington. MT. Wetmore pre- scented verbally to the General, those statements from parties whose business takes them much below the line, in which the sign CTS did not wish their names made public. Thus they have done all the good they intended, and the signers will not be sub- jected to any danger from the enemy. General Schofield ex- pressed much interest during the interview, and decided on ren- dering immediate assistance, in the shape of Company G, First Cavalry, Capt. Bernard as tele- graphed you this afternoon by MT. WetmOre. The General un- derstands many facts about the case which it is not deemed pru. dent to publish. The citizens of the lower portion of the State need have no anxiety about Schofield's rendering prompt assistance ne- cessary to their protection. A great deal of interest is felt in San Francisco, regarding the situation on the border of California and and news from that quarter is looked for eagerly.
 The San Francisco newspapers appear to think the Texas and Pacificprospects brightening. The Bulletin had an editorial to this effect fast evening. The Chronicle, which favors the Central Pacific monopoly, to-day has an article saying: "One of the most inter esting points, so far as the people of California is concerned, affect ed by the constitution of the House Standing Committee, is the ques- ton of subsidy to Scott's railroad. When Kerr was elected Speaker over Randall, that event was gen. eralIy accepted in Washington as clearly indicating the defeat of the Scott lobby and their project. But the way in which the Pacific Railroad Committee has been con- stituted, suggests the time for hurrahing has not yet come."

Nor can we blame strangers for
dteading Eastern North Carolina when
the people of certain portions of our
State are led to believe that the Eas.
tern counties are SO many grave yards.
Many of the Northern Life Insurance
Companies either refuse entirely to
toke risks II this portion of the State,
or do SO at much advanced rates. Not
many years ago, during the month of
September, when we hardly even knew
Wilmington SO healthy, and when our
doctors were drying their half starved
horses about the city, with disconso-
late appearance "loookiDg for job, ="
We happened TO visit height oring
city III the ''up country" whose ply
sicians live in fne houses and drive
tine horses, and have the appearance
of doing thriving bus ipess." Ar
irving at the depot we were very po
Ijteiy accosted by an old servant, one
of our contributions to liberty" who
Was evidently glad to see us, and
seemed somewhat surprised our
healthy appearance. After many kind
~ Inquiries anout the family. he asked :;
"~elI Mass zoe is the fecer raging
much now in Wilmington We assur-
Cd him that he could visit the city with
peof CT imprnitr, and find very many
hsal;hy co!ored people down there, es-
pf cial'v about election time.
W. relate his anecdote merely to
illustrate the common impression and
common inform ,tion people receive in
State.
Now if we desired. through our ool-
unlus 20 give strangers and insurance
companies, and cur colored friend,
reliable information upon the subject
oi thc health of our section and to
couuteI aci the false and injurioua i'm
pre.eions which prevail we have neith-
er official or unofficial statestic8 upon
which We could rely. The bare state

Such means. We must have the vital

We b, lieve the labors of such Board
would be of the greatest service in do
ing away with the very injurious i'm
pressions prevalent about Eastern
Mott Carolina.
And this view of the labors of this
Board is only one of the benefits to be
derived by its establishment. The ad-
vantages IN the treatment of disease
ard other purely medical points are
obviouI. We hope this matter will be
pressed.

The Constitution OF Rhode Island
demands property qualification from
all foreign born citizens who claim the
right TO vote in that little State. At
tempts have twice been made to abol-
ish this discrimination against foreign
born citizens, but each time the prop
osltion was voted down by an over
whelming ajority A suit is now
pending in The United States District
Court at Providence, Wherein the claim
is set mp that the prohibition is con-
trarv to the Fourteenth or Fifteenth
Amendment 10 the United States Con
stitution. Since the suit was COM
menced, the Supreme Court of the
United States has given Judgment in a
case coming up from Missouri, in
which a woman claimed the right to
vote, under the Fourteenth Amend
ment. The Court held that the amend
ment did not make suffrage run with
citizenship, but merely prevented the
infringement OF any privilege OF sui
frage existing at the time of its adop-
ton. The privilege of suffrage was
not held by women, and therefore the
amend ment did not confer it upon wo-
men. AS it was not in Rhode Island,
