Point for Interchange of Ocean, Inter-State and Trans-Continental Traffic. NUMBER THREE. Beaufort Harbor is the most eligible port ou the North-Carolina Coast. It is the most accessible on the Atlantic. Bailing vessels enter and depart with out hindrance; sail in and out without towing, or the necessity of " warping.'' Sailing vessels have cast off from Morehead City and been at sea in seventeen minutes, ihe tiarbor is peifectly land-locked; and the roads afford room for any fleet to ride at anchor. Given a proper system of range litrhts and day marks, any stranger could eiiter Beaufort Harbor, day or niirht. Tho whole Atl ntic coast does nnt nrpsent such a haven of refuge TI.h whole extent of North Carolina coa.fnasf. in a line ranging outside the shoals, is three hundred aud thir teen (313) miles. Beaufort bar is twentv-six (20) miles South of the middle point. The inlet is perfectly nr.itee.ted bv the sheltering shjoals of Cape Lookout to the northward, and the bar entrance is practically per manent and unchanging. Beaufort Harbor is the natural out let tor Western and Middle Carolina, and that region lying between the Al bemarle and the Cape Fear sectidu of the State.

VVUllt? VJxn Ocrascocke, then an outlet or. import ance to the coasting trade, and jealous of Beaufort inlet, were accused ot burning the dredge-boat. The work was not prosecuted after that. The New Berne and Beaufort Canal route has been a favorite work with the engineers of later date,; and every possible effort has been made to in duce Congress to aid its improvement, but no one has ever been able to at tract the attention of that body to it, nor to secure anv consideration for it at the hands of our State Senators or Representatives. INLAND LINE OF NAVIGATION, NEW BERNE TO BEAUFORT. Of this work the Engineer officers of the United States Army say : "The Inland Line of navigation from New Berne to Beaufort Harbor, via Clubfoot, Harlowe and Newport rivers is not yet an established line of navigation, but follows the course of the line now in construction by the New Berne and Beaufort Canal Com pany. This Inland Line of. Naviga tion, via Clubfoot, Harlowe and New port rivers was recommended in 1883 to cost from $479,530 to $883,580 ac cording to its size and extent; but the improvement was not sanctioned by Congress. This line of navigation possessed then no navigation, and none was expected until the canal should be finished. This line would however be of much value as a con neetinir link between Pamlico Sound and Beaufort Harbor, and would cora- nlete an otherwise already existing in land navigation from the Chesapeake to Beaufort, N. C 4tIt was recommended in July, 185, that this improvement be extended I over the whole distance through the known route. 1 rathe of those tqwns , New B(,rne an(i Beaufort Canal as well could be conducted to andfr-imNow;,.

Ships from .northern and southern ports from the St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico bound to any port in Europe, .make their departure frouT Hatteras Light; and bound back to Atlantic or Gulf porrs, they in tke Hatteras light, first and. ttteamsnips ror rirupe, already a commerce of about $JUU.uvu which would probably re increases bv at least $200,000 more in case of an assured 3-toot navigation ai low waier to Beaufort. A light draft steamer was waiting to be permanently placed upon this route in case of such 3-foot navieration. 'The submitted project of. lb8o rec ommended and proposed to secure at least a 3-foot navigation at low water. from Beaufort Harboi 24 miles to White Oak River, to cost $10,000; and it estimated a similar 4-foot navigation at $32,000, and a 5-foot navigation at $02,000. . , "This recommendation was exrena ed in July, 1885, to a total amount of $32,000 to be appropriated in one sum; of which at leant $10,000 can be profit ably expended before the end of the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1887 , in securing a continuous channel of 100 feet width and 3 feet depth at low wa ter from Beaufort Harbor to Swans boro, White Oak River, opposite Bogue Inlet; and the rest can be profit ably expended later in increasing this depth to 4 feet at mean low water." Whi'e Oak River, from its mouth at Swansboro, is navigaole for 4 or 4 feet, near.v 20 miles. The way then becomes obstructed by overhanging trees, sunken logs, and phosphate rock in the bed of the river. An ex penditure of one or two thousaud dol Imfm would clnar out all these obstruc tions, and open the river to navigation auXhigh up as Smith's Bridges (Mayville, in Jones county.) A point fifty miles, by water, from Beaufort Harbor. By the county roads Maysville is eight miles from the town of Pollocksville, on Trent Rivpr. and twentv-one miles from - - T New Berne.

At 2:40 p. m., the Senate doors were re opened ami the Chair laid before the Seuate a lengthy message irum lue President bearing on the right of the Senate or Senators to have access to papersetc, in the Executive Depart ment relating to suspensiuux iroru office. The President takes tue ground that papers relating to suspensions from office are not Official papers, and consequently he does not feel justified in sending copies ot ineiu io me Senate. It is a vigorous documeut and a long one. The message was read ar lengtn; extraordinary stillness prevailing on the floor of the Senate, ana me em phatic loudness and clearness ot Chief Cleik Joi.nson's reading served to notify the galleries that something unusual was afloat, and Deiore trie reading was completed the galleiies were crowded.

REPORT ON BOGUE SOUND BY CAPTAIN DARLING, ASSISTANT ENGINEER, JANUARY, 1885. (Extracts.) The length of the Sound between Newport and White UaK Kiver is about 24 miles, and its width from one to three miles. Ail distances are measured from the railroad wharf at More head City. The principal obstructions to navi- - -it-vrsi.i T- 1 1 gation are two shoals called aiiy tseii Shoal, and Goose Creek bhoal. ball Rell Shoal is about 5 miles from More- head City; it is 1,000 feet long, and in the shortest places has out J reet -inches of water at average low water The shoal is of sand and appears to be a sort of bulkhead across the channel Goose Creek Shoal commences at th thirteenth mi e. and extends tor ibout eight miles, or nearly to the en- v .1 1 I I . aL. tMticfl or tsurtnen vnauuei ai tue mashes. This is also a sand-shoal, mit with a thin covering of mud from Z to 4 inches deep, and grass growing over the greater Dart of it. Goose ireek Shoals are cut up by many smal sloughs, but the main channel follows ilongthe main-laud, and has in tn shortest, places two feet of water at u-Pr:iffH low tide, but alter severa days of strong westerly winds the tide get very low, possinjy trom five men to one foot lower than the average. Though the marshes, which com menees about the twentv-first mile, there are two channels; Bank, which follows the general course of the. banks, and Burthen, which follows the course of the mainland. As Burthen Channel is much the best of the two, I have made my es i mates by that route, and Cross Stakes Slough, which branches off frm Burthen Channel, and shortens the distance considerably. The only ob struction in Cross States Slough is at its entrance, where a little dredging would be required. All the improvement required on Bogue Sound is the dredging of a channel through Sally Bell and Goose Creek Shoals, and a little diedging at the entrance to Cross Stakes Slough, and Hoggins Island Channel. I 'have' made the following estimates for a channel 100 feet wide, 3, 4 and 5 feet deep : Estimates for a channel J00, feet wide aud ihree feet deep, .v 11.29. Estimate for a channel 100 eet wide feet deep. .j2.24 10. Estimate for a channel 100 feet wide . and five feet deep, $01,750 04. Verv respectfully, Jno. P. Darling, Assistant Engineer Capt. W.
