On the 14th an assault was determined upon, and after a desporate struggle of seven hours our troops occupied the fort, capturing about 1,200 prisoners, and’ a loss of between four and five hundred men. ~-—-Fhe Cape Fear-riverhes iongbeens tha “rendezvous of the English pirates, and under the shelter of its heavy gun’the blockade ranners have ever felt safe. The eontraband trade with the South has been almost entirely confined to Wilmington. The shal_. lowness of: the water along the coast and “the prevalence uf storms renders the block~ adding of the port almost impossible, The “victory at Fort Fisher gives us the key to the river and opens the road for our troops to ‘Wilmington. ‘This city is thirty-four “thiles from the sea coast aud the commu ups Cation between it, Richmond and Charleston has never been cut-off since thé eom‘encement of the rebellion. This is the largest town of North Carolina, on the east bank of the Cape Fear river.

Oglethorpe, in the year 1773, The a is incorrect; Savannah was: founded in 1733, asa free colony. Oglethorpe, the founder, came to Georgia, which was not until the forty-fifth year of his age. “He was.a favorite of Malborough, and served as aid-de-camp to Prince Engene, of Savoy, in the war agamnst the Turks at the seige of Belgrade, in1716. Oglethorpe’s first. iden was to’ go F ‘. to South Carolina, but he hated slavery, and’ 80 obtained hiv chatter for.colonizing lands between the Savannah aiid Altamaha rivers. The cityand colony were free from slaves until the year 1752, when the Georgians, seduced by the example of South Carolina began to — for. ‘slaves. The trustees of. Georgia. beeanie a real slave esl with Governor appointed by the crown. Savannah is to this day, perhaps, one of the least ultra of slaveholding cities in the South, which is‘no doubt in part attributable to the wise teachings of its noble-founder. Ogle thorpe, was. born in 1688,-and lived to the age of 90, and had the satisfaction of seeing his colony become a State i in the American Union. ica oS SriLes’ -SEPARATOR—A NEW INVEXTIoN.—This machine is designed for separating the sand and the sulphurets after they have been worked and the gold extracted. Hihas been fully tested at Stiles’ quartz mill and does its work nobly. “It consists . of a pan, four feet in” diameter, the disk or surface of the ‘pan is a concave -surface of copper.The sand — _is discharged in the middle of the pan through an opening 24 inches in diameter. "Fhe-pan-rests upon three balls‘and a motion is communicated toit by a crank in the center. The pulp is fed at the outside edge of the pan, while the sulphurets and gold which remains is collected upon the copper surface and there held by rifles, the sand* is discharged through. the orifice in the center. The “cleaning up” i is done while the ‘pan is in motion. A plug on the outer édge of thé separates the suiphurets shakes them into a vat prepared for their reception. While the separator is at work the pan is kept con-. stantly filled with water. “Heit Do.

One of. the prominent faults of our go-ahead people is reading too much and understanding too little. The cause of this is to a great extent, to be found in the kind of reading matter. that comes in our way. Some books and news-' papers have a strange effect. upon all of us: Instead of finding our thoughts to multiply with the sentences we read, we+find them continually dilating and even diminishing. Instead of getting brighter thoughts, greater ideas, better feelings, higher emotions, nobler aspirations, we lese more or less of our own “stock in trade.” -_ The world wants a better quality of celts ing matter, a mors. instructive kind, and. a . more wide-aweke styl¢ of writing It needs speakers, teachers, books, and newspapers. —and expecially newspapers, because they are more read—which possess in themselves the elements of active vitality and lively progress, sufficient to awaken thoughts in others, and to direct them in the ‘propér channels; as well as tu gratify perception and cultivate memory.
