BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

Richmond, Va, Oct. Ex-Governor
Lowndes, of Maryland, has Informed
Governor OFerrall that in his opinion
it is necessary to have the boundary
line between Maryland and Virginia in
the Roanoke Sound and river established,
and that he himself will have the matter
attended to.
The matter referred to has been re-
peated investigated by both the States
concerned, and Virginia has always
taken the ground that the present boun-
dairy line is the one laid down by the
Black and jenkins award. -Four years
ago the legislatures of both States APP
pointed special committees who went
over the ground very carefully, and the
Virginia committee afterwards reported
in favor of retaining the existing boun-
Diary line. The Maryland people de-
cline to accept this line.

STATE NEWS.

The Fayetteville Observer says that
there is only 3-10ths of a foot of water
in the Cape Fear River at Fayetteville
less than at any time in thirty years.
1t has been month since any steamer
has been able to go higher than Eliza
BEETHOVEN. The Wilmington Messenger
says that on account of the very long
and severe drought, the Cape Fear River
in the up country has about dried up
and the ocean supplies most of the wa
ter at this end. The result is we have
salt water in Wilmington, and the steam
plants which get their supply of water
from the river are still having trouble
with foaming boilers.
