Daring the late bar blockade at this
point the action Of the T0wbOas Associa-
ton in the matter was such that, as soon
as the bar was clear, Major Howell decided
to send the dredge boats EssayOno and Nc
Alester around to Pascal 'Outre, and there
keep them until he had ship channel al
that point. This he feels confident of OBJ
tanning a. an early day, as will be seen
by referring TO his letter in the REPUBLICAN
a few days since. In the meantime, since
leaving the Southwest Pass the bar has
filled in from depth Of nineteen to that of
fifteen feet at high water.


This is serious state Of affairs, there be-
Minnesota on the bar, and several others
outside bound in. In fact the condition is
80 bad that several of our leading steam
ship agents waited upon Major Howell yes
terday for the purpose of obtaining the
temporary aid at least OF one of the dredge-
boats at the Southwest Pass. Ii 10 safe to
say that these gentlemen represented three
fourths Of the tonnage that comes to this
port yearly, and we are inclined to believe

that their request will be complied with
The suit of the meeting thus far obtained
was that could satisfactory arrangements
be made with the towboat association SO
that each might work in harmony, Major
Howell would be only too glad 60 aid our
suffering commerce. In this the associa-
tion have acquiesced and we hope to-day
to hear that one OF the boats is on her way
toward the Southwest Pass.


The situation of the steamship Minnesota
is q try ing one to those interested, she being
in very shoal water and having full com
plement Of passengers, whose complaints
are doubtless very wearing upon the ears
Of the captain.


The steamship Yasoo, from Philadelphia,
lies outside. bound in, drawing seventeen
feet six inches fore and aft. Captain Yorke,
her agent, has telegraphed to the owners to
know if they are inclined to bear the ex-
pense of lightering, az he eonsiders it too
great to take the responsibility upon him
self, and very little prospect of getting the
ship in for soiue time TO come.


10 times like these, when We need ten-
mage 80 badly, all interested should set
about to break down all existing feuds, and
work in harmony to accomplish the one
great eRd--encouragement to commerce.

TO LEAVE NO TRACK OF THEI
Alone walked the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand;
stopped and wrote upon the sand


My name-theyear-the day,
As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind cast
Awave came rolling high and fast,


And washed my lines away.
And so me thought twill shortly be
With every mark on earth from me,
A wave of dark oblivion's sea


Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
Of time, and been, TO be no more;
Of me, my frame, the namc bore,


To leave no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sanis,
And holds the waters in His hands,
know lasting record stands


Inscribed against my name,
Of all this mortal part has wrought,
Of all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these feeting moments caught
For glory or for shame.

Are thy returns cen as the flowers of Spring;
To which, besides their own demean,
The late past frost tributes of pleasure bring,


Grief melts away

Who would have thought my shriveled heart
Could have recovered greennessl It was gone
Quite under ground; as flowers depart

Dead to the world, keep house unknown.
Oh! that once past changing were,
Past in thy Paradise, where no flower can
wither!
May Spring shoot up fair,
Offer at heaven, growing and groaning

Nor doth my flower


Want Spring shower
My sins and joined together
And now in age bud again.
After so many deaths live and write;
once more smell the dew and rain,
And relish versing, oh! my only light.

That am he
On whom thy tempests fell at night.
These are thy wonders, Lord of love,
To make us see we are but flowers that

Forfeit their Paradise through their pride. :.

One Of Their Race to Death for


Murder.


WILMINGTON, N. c., Nov. 8, 1873.


The trial OF Dave Martin and Jimmy Anderson,
both negroes, Tor the murder Of q white boy named
Carter, in September last, was brought to close
to-day, resulting in the acquittal OF Anderson and
the conviction OF Dave Martin OF murder In the
first degree. The remarkable feature OF this trial
lies in the fact that the entire jury were negroes.
The accused were negroes, While the victim OF the
murder was white. The Judge sentenced the pris-
oner to be executed on the 2sth instant, In doing
which he remarked that upon the whole 1t was
gratifying TO see and know that In q case OF such
Importance, involving such delicate relations be-
tween the white and black race, a jury OF
black men had rendered verdict accord
ing TO evidence and according TO law.
This verdict presents striking contrast TO one
Just rendered in another State involving similar
Important consequences to them. Here jury of
able to read or write, gave such verdict as the
highest degree OF intelligence and integrity
demanded. There jury OF different race, white
men, educated men no doubt, had rendered ver-
iished and proved iacts, so declared by the Judge
on the bench and so acknowledged by public
sentiment. SO much for the difference OF justice
az administered IN North Carolina His Honor
OF statesmen and law makers. Honest ignorance
should be recognized, while intelligent vice should
be scorned. The community had no reason 10 fear
80 long as men were governed by their convictions
what they had done; no one should be thanked Tor
doing his simple duty. He had no doubt that
jury OF white men, under similar evidence. would
have convicted a white boy OF numbering negro
enced by any feelings OF race or caste. 1t certainly
presented food Tor rejection.
