ublic duties prevented Mr. Venable from devoting as much personal attention as he would have desired to this good work; but those to whom he entrusted it have done it much better than he could possibly have done. The patriotic charity of the women of North Carolina is fully appreciated by the soldiers, and "the blessing of God, which maketh sick and addeth no sorrow therewith," will fill their hearts with joy. To the sick soldiers of North Carolina who may hereafter come to Richmond, Mr. Daniel H London will give his attention, and direct as many of them to the Sycamore Hospital as can be received into that institution. They will there find in the pastor of the church, the Rev Mr. Pet , his associate superintendent, John P. Dickinson, Esq, and the pious ladies of his congregation, together with the aid of an intelligent committee and an excellent physician Dr. Snead all the appliances necessary for sick and suffering strangers — In the name of North Carolina, our thanks are tend

Threatened Stoppage of water supplies in Lynchburg. --The Virginian, of yesterday, says: The perilous condition of the works of the James River and Kanawha canal, caused by a breach in the embankment along the southern shore of Daniel's island, is creating great uneasiness with all classes of our citizens, but with our manufacturers especially, because it is evident that unless very prompt and efficient steps be taken to stop the passage of the water through the Island, it will soon out a way for itself so deep as to discharge all the water flowing into the water-works pond, as it is called, and thereby cut off all supply from the canal. This would not only stop all manufacturing operations from the water-works dam to the first lock, but would deprive the city of water in case of fire. These disasters have been impending over us for more than ten days, and yet up to a late hour yesterday nothing had been done or attempted.

Mayor's Court. --Matthew Eagan, a man of resistless spirit, was not content with getting one quiet spree, but must needs become very boisterous and get himself arrested. At the watch house his fury increased, when he abused the officers and pitched into his fellow-prisoners, making a very bedlam of that usually quiet and placid resort. The Mayor yesterday found it necessary to bind him over to keep the peace. Daniel, a slave, was acquitted of a charge of stealing a watch, and some few colored delinquents were adjudged according to the magnitude of their offences. A line of $5 was imposed upon Jno. Shocken for keeping his bar-room open on Sunday.

on of the Secretary for a more perfect organization of the navy, by introducing additional grades in the service. The present organization is defective and unsatisfactory, and the suggestions submitted by the department will, it is believed, if adopted, obviate the difficulties alluded to and promote harmony and increase the efficiency of the navy. The vacancies on the bench of the Supreme Court. There are three vacancies on the bench of the Supreme Court--two by the decease of Justices Daniel and McLean, and one by the resignation of Justice Campbell. I have so far for borne making nominations to fill the vacancies for reasons which I will now state. Two of the outgoing judges resided within the States now overrun by revolt. So that if successors were appointed in the same localities, they could not now serve upon their circuits, and many of the most competent men there probably would not take the personal hazard of accepting to serve even here upon the Supreme bench I ha
