Pee ls and law Manic* in /rent variety. \ i Official I'aafr of Beaufort Count -1 l The late ^ecieta y of War Belknap,' has placed himself in a po. iiio: that ipainful to contemplate. An exposure of! the most astounding character has Ihecn made of his corruption in his ofii -ial char 1 acter; by his reejiving regularly ;h in^an > of dollars from his ap olntees to trading posts on the frontier, which will blast hi refutation for all coming time and which is all the more painful from th; fact it j has implicated those bound to him by the uio>t sacred tie-?that of wife and I mother of his children. General Belknap has a splendid war i record, and in private and official lift-1 > was respected ai l esteemed, as a man above leproach. and the dcveloper.icnt of the facts against him, h is 1 eon a shock to his frienls, and i shock to the alrni narration, the evidence against h;L?i ! being so st: ong and the proof of hi-j guilt so convincing. He has tendered his resignation which has been accepted by the President, yet 1 Congress is taking steps for his impeach- j went wh'ch can accomplish nothing, i Nothing Congress can do, can add to the punishment of the degradation under which Belknap is now suffering. They can only remove him from an office from j which he ha* ahealy resigned? and disqualify him from a ~a:n holding any po- j sition of trust under the government, a disqualification tlu.t needs not the pnmulgation of a court of impeachment, j after the facts of his guilt shall become generally known. Thee would be sufficient causes for till* impeachment farce to be dropped, even if there was no consti tutional question involved. Gun. Bel knap, not being an officer of the government is not under the constitution ameuablc to impeachment. The courts have taken the matter in hand, he having been indicted by the { Grand Jury, and investigation through' the proper channel should not be preju- . diced by the very questionable mode of procedure adoptc 1 by Congress.

CLUB HOUSE SPIIIXUS. Pare Water for the Xnvr?A Beautiful j < Spot--Lntcri)n>i!ig Contractors. On Saturday we embarked on board t the steam water boat ''Agnes," with . which Messrs. I>ich <\* Small supply tli; j > U. S. fleet, a i l the shipping in Port R.?y p.l and Bull River, with water, and visited j their water supply at Club llou e springs. <5 This spring is situated on Aibevgottic ; creek, and derives its name from the CI b a .House of anti-bcl'um cel. brity, which was situated a short distance i. >u the rp.ing, which has been noted for the purity of a its waters for almost a century. During , the war the club !i<??-e w>s destroyed and j the spriug became choked, in a mass of vegetation, becoming al ho c impenctra- ! ble with undergrowth of live oak and 1 f vines, that lu::uratcd in the moisture of1 ?, this neglected spot. This was its con li-' p tion when the attention of Messrs. Dak ;i & Small were called to it. They went to r, work at once an 1 have succeeded in leak u ing a complete tra i-formation, by c'ur- { ing away this underg'ovrih an 1 leaving live oaks at regular distances so that in ?A the course of a few years the spring will be surrounded by a grove of these majes-! tic trees. The spring is thirty loot above [ ' high ti !o water, and to c t a sufa/.ent .. flow of water, excavations were made some tilt ecu or twenty feet i: 11 : the ban'; where a hrgo cavity was found, almost j large enough to admit a man on horse back, into which the water w n rushi ig in a continuous >trea:n.
