the necessary blanks, but they were re-

What ia Being Done in the River and
HarbOr-Decided Results.

What il Being Done in the River and
HarbOr-Decfded Results.
The steamer Ariel made a trip down
the river yesterday afternoon TO the
slower flats" She had on board Lieut..
o. II. Carter, United states Engineer
corps, in charge of the river and harbOr
improvements; Mayor Lester, Alderman
r. d. Bogart, Chairman of the Committee
on HarbOr and Wharyes Col. Geo. l.. Cope,
Chairman Of the PilOtage Commissioners:
Capt. r. c. Kennedy, HarbOr Master. and
a number of other gentlemen. The pur-
pose of the trip was to inspect the work
recently done by the government engl-
neeTs.
These improvements comprise new
jetties and some dredging. At the Gar
den banks" opposite the eastern end Of
the city, a cut of 90 feet in width has
been made. This work was completed on
Feb. ,. At the foot Of West Broad street
a similar cut has been dredged. The
work at this point was finished yesterday.
These two cuts insure good channel
with depth of fifteen feet at low water
along the entire wharf front OF the city. The
next work OF the dredge boat viii be at the
lower end of the upper flats where 90
feet cut, apprOximating 2,2O0 feet in
length, will be made to straighten the
channel and give minimum depth OF ID
feet at low water between the two jetties
recently built at that point. This work
will Obviate all further trouble at this
heretofore troublesome mud fiat or shOal.
As soon as the work above referred to IS
done the point Of the ''SabasticOOk'
shoals. at the spar buoy opposite the
~Ovster Bed Light" will he Gredged
away. The removal of that obstruction
will greatly improve the channel at
point that has always been dreaded by
uayigatOrs.
As soon as the engineer corps has COM
pleted the new ietties at the cross-tides
on the upper end Of HutchinsOn's Island,
work will be commenced below Venus
Point. where it is proposed 10 put IN two
iettie5 on either side of the river leaving
2 channel of 1900 feet between them. All
the work Gu the river and harbOr as far
as pro 'acted will be done by May l.
The dredging of the channels has been
done under a special contract with
PauIsen Il Co., the parties 10 whom the
contract was awarded by the govern
nent having failed as Yet to do anything
towards its iulfllment.
The trim down the river and back yes
terday was very pleasant and interesting
10 those on board the Ariel. The work Is
apparently going on in very satisfactory
manner, and all that is needed is liberal
appropriation to perfect the improve
ments on the plans laid out by the en-
gineers. ANY delay in the work at this
iuncture will be serious injury to the

WHITFIELD IN us CELL.

The Governor to be Asked to Commute
His Sentence to imprisonment for Life
The negro Whitfield, under sentence to
be hung on March q, has very little to
say to the guards or any Of the attendants
at the Jail. He was sitting quietly in his
cell when a NEWS reporter stepped into
the corridor last night. His counsel, y. {.
Collier. Esq, stated that he would not be
hung on the day already set for the exc
cution. as newly discovered testimony
was being obtained, and the matter would
be taken 10 the Supreme Court. A petit
tiOn was drawn up yesterday addressed
10 GOV. Mcdaniel. asking that the seu-
tence be committed to Imprisonment for
life on the ground that the prisoner is an
imbecile. il is understood that several
persons have signifed their willing
ness to make affidavit as
to the condition of Whitfeld's
mind. These affidavits are TO be append
ed 10 the petition. when the jury who con-
Sicted the prisoner will be asked to sign
il. The question as TO the prisoners san
ity was not raised during the trial, and
hence was not passed upon by the court
or jury. One of the jurymen said yester-
day that whether the petition would be
signed or not depended upon the charac-
ter of the affidayitS.

Services at the Seamen's Bethel.

Rev. Mr.. Lester, a Primitive Baptist
minister, from Virginia, preached last
night at the Seamen's Bethel. He took as
his text First Corinthians, l., 3, q: but
we preach Christ crucifed, unto the Jews
a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks
foolishness; But unto them which are
called. both Jews and Greeks, Christ the
power Of God and the wisdom OF God"
The speaker said the difference to each
OF the peoples referred to was the con-
struction they placed on what the Apos-
fies preached and not what they said.
he took the ground that the world does
not know God by wisdom, ana that
Il is fOOlishness 30 try 10
obfain a knowledge OF Christ by wisdom.
Vbe wisdom of the world is robustness
10 God. and cannot beneft man with him,
slthough il does benefit man while on
earth. The religion Of Abram is the re-
ngiOn q to-day and Abram walked by
faith ana not knowing whence he went.
II is BY falth only he argued that God can
be known.
