There it notbin £ of a local, bosiness nature, clairalnf J the attention of the people of Cepe/elanil eo-juurb, al the preasat time, a* the improvement of onr place. Awb/e ago the railroad was the great question, for without it all •fforta la arfy other direction were meatDrably uyfleaa. But that matter now j •aeeraa eetlled ; and we bare every eonfi- | deuce that the work will be accomplish- | "ed in good time ; hence we hare but J little to do in that respect, except to pa^ up our eobeeriptioaa and get teadj for the ' basinets it /moat necauarilj bring, and aeek, by e*ery landible mean- ' j- to increase that bntiness. We mast ' not fiatter onrselvee that tbt bare completion of the railroad, affording visi ' tore tha necresary means of trarel to nor plaea, U all w# hate to do. Far from it TWa is one great and important item : It wllUjring the people here, I if there are proper indacemenu to atJ tract them here, aud reader their stvj» pleasant. It hM been often eaid, by our own i • citizen* who ha»e *isited other watering placet, that in the way of improfements, we are fifty jeari behind the times; and there is truth in erery word of the aayiag; aud sin 11 *• continue la remain thue hehind, and litta eacrifico onr interest's ? If erer there was a time when we nevd to be awake on this point it is aow. When we were on the decline, for properttefma oT Aecees to n«, rirel watering-places had less inducement to oatdojns in this respect, but reiied more upon their superiority of means of «• cats, and were quit# weR utisfied with building ibematlret up on our decline aud ruin. But now, wbeo public alienlion ia directed towards Cape Island, on account of the railroad facilitiee we are aoou to enjoy, they wUI hare to take another tack, and try to riml oe in the wut of aitracttTeuess iu their i^epeclivo placet And they may succeed to a greater extent than we may suppose, if we do not stir oursel»cs. Aud iu this matter every one ia interested, from the. day Ipboror to the greatest landholder, or. hotel -keeper. Can ibwre be one found who has no interest to the main business of the plaee, . by — which large sums of money are brought * ioto onr midst, and which gives employment to all, and voloo to our property J Wa think uot. 1 There are many respect* in thirl) improvement ia called for, bnt we shall only roeutioa two or Three ut preeeat. Wa need various public improvements, which we may notice as circumstances seam to require, but leave themlur the present. Iu the first place wa want a general 1 improvement hi our buildings. But as there is ao very extensive building gotog <w this year, we cannot expect any i very radical change in this respect at present ; bnt we mention It for use when. . new building# shall be erected, as, un- | donbledly, mgoy will be daring the next . t waive months- There iatoo much tame- , •cut and aid style in onr style of build- ' tags. For "Bear own eonrvnienre this might "ba well enough.; but vre bar- , others thou ourvelves to please, If wr , with to attreet the public here, with tbiir thousands of dollars. If we ; would draw customers to our hotels and boarding houses ; if we would rent our cott age* to tbe best advantage, we must build with reference to that, and make them pleating to the eye of others, and eooreaierit to their purposes ; sod if we do this generally, we make oar plaee generally attractive, and obeli reap our reward. Andin this respect we are be hind the nge, as any one can but be o-tavincvd, who wiH take tbe trouble to l aarel aWat the cooutry. But for the present, wo should tarn oar ut taction to the improvement of aodh buildings as we have. The car•water, painter and whltewaehrr should

Vjic sK to work. 8ime«peans sbtHiItl !•" ! jadripSed -ta remove raatvy unsightly - p,abaims#u aud rickety fences, and those) j tha". remain shonld be pnt ia a condition | to give as much elegance aod beauty to I the place as possible. 8ome pen- ■ pie sae» to think that wbea. they | Stave repaired, painted and whitewashed tbeiffront buildings and fences, th*y ( have done all ; w. ile their back build | ( ings and fence*, open to tha' > i«w cf j s passers-by on Other street*, present any i thing but an inviting aspect. Such ! | hypocritical improvement* won't do | j We want neatness, beamy aud elegance in every point, so that wherever the i people may go, their eyes may be plcaaed. But we notice one other needed im- 1 ; { ptovemtiit, and tba*. it in our sidewalks j Some two years ago this matter was r taken iu hand, and considerable done, endS^flne can fail to see the bent-fit of ( it ; bat there ia still more needed to be L i done. And we can scarcely make oar- I selves believe that any individual will | fail to do his Share In so important a! | metier., It cannot bo denied tbnt we I . are behind iu ,Liiis rea|iebt*^Al!niuic | City— built upon the sand— ffa.t her,-; I wide streets and sidewalks, welj grarrl j J led, and why should we not, where *t J ' I have th« best of soil to do it ? Some of j I our sidewalks still need widening, ac- j , | cording to the original plan of the ordi . nance pasted by the City Council some ' two years ago. while many others nerd j raising, curbing and grading, and we J hope the matter will be attended to. > The people who vieit as, and from | i whom we make onr living, demand these I improvements Jt cannot be sxpecied \ ! that thaae who ar.> accustomed to wide. brick-paved sidewalks, in their reaper- j I tlve cities, will lie satisfied with being j t compelled to walk single file, through i mud anil water, and pay for it in the j bargain, without complaint, and without 1 ■erioos disadvantage to our own inter- ( est*'. We do not pretend that we have more benevolence to tho visiting public than others, but wo simply recommend these things era. matter of pocket ' in- , terett, and we think, if the people will look at the Matter candidly, tliey w '.!! see It in the same light that we do. WAR AND OTHER NEWS. The newe from Vicksburg is not encouraging. The Steel's liayou expedition had returned to YouugV Point, and the troops were boing disembarked The work on the canal had been suspended, the rebel cannon commending - -acariy lta- abole length. There iaanother story that the rebels have repaired li:e ludfanols, and intended to attack the Hertford and Albatross. Fears are entertained for tho safety »of these ateameijR. There seems to be a great deal of mislery about the fate of the Indianola. - y Price and Kirby S.uiiti ■».*•» said to be wollecling their srattered lorcav, for a dash into 1liasos.ri. A band of guerillas, have bee»i - whip pad not far from Mnrfreetbo- o, by a greatly inferior foreif ?f U?.;oW troops. - There It a t rumor that Lrfrd Lyons will make a formal demand for the re lease of the eaptored stearatr Peterhaff, an English vessel captured an the S4th of February, in Use vicinity of St Thomas, by command of Admiral Wilkes. Tha affair may causa link diplomatic sqnabble. There was probably some informality in tho capture. The ship Star of Peace, of Boston has been burned by tba Pirate Florida. Two rebel steamers, with 1800 balsa of cotton, have arrived at Bermods. Tbe steamer Canada,' from Liverpool on tbe 21st alt., recently arrived at Halifax.
