J. Q. Adams and the Bible.—In a letter to
his son, in 1811, he says: “I have for many
years made it a practice to read through the Bible
once every year. My custom is to read four or
five chapters every morning, immediately after
rising from my bed. It employs about an hour
of my time, and seoms to me the most suitable
manner of beginning the day. In what light
soever we regard the Bible, '.whether with reference
to revelation, to history, or to morality, it is an
invaluble and inexhaustible mine of knowled>:e
and virtue.”

After finishing my letter this morning, seeing
an omnibus at the door bound for Hampton. I
concluded to ride over to that ancient village, tho
scene of one of the most disgraceful outrages of
the British during tlie war of l''l‘J. They cap
tured the place, and if I recollect aright, burnt
private buildings and robbed and insulted the
peoj)le, men, women and children. It was gene
rally considered a di.sgraceful procedure then, for
war had gradually been divested of that species
of its horrors; but at this day, the whole civilized
world would cry shame at sueh conduct. I tayed
too short a time to .see if there remained any
uiiirks of the ravages of war.

CrrV OF MOREHEAD!
ORE.tT S.1JLE or MjOTSU
FuiiKKiN OliiTl Ailv —Very many por."Ons in
this country will hear with regret of the death
of Dr. Thomas Dick, the well-known author of
the Christian Philosopher and other kindred
works. Dr. Dick, says the Dundee (Scotland)
Advertiser, in recording his death, “was born iu
the Hilltown, Dundee, on the l24th of November,
1774, his father being Mungo Dick, a small linen
manufacturer. For ten years he taught at Perth,
whtj.'-j he wrote the Christian Philosopher, which
became a favorite work and ran through several
editions. The success of that work induced him
to resign his position as a teacher and retire to
Broughty Ferry, near Dundee, where, in 1827
and in tho fif’ty-third.year of his :ige, he estab
lished him.self in a neat little cottage on the hill,
to the astonishment of the villager.? at the time,
who looked with wonder upon his observatory,
and speculated greatly on his reasons for dwelling
so much above them. I'rom that time until with
in the last few' years, when the chill of age stay
ed his hand, his f>cn was ever busy preparing the
numerous works in which, under different forms
and by various methods, he not only, as an
American divine has said, brought down phil
osophy from heaven to earth, but raised it from
earth to heaven.
About eight }'ears ago ho was pr()strated by
a severe illness, from the efl'ects of which he naver
wholly rccovercil. In the year is'iO a number
of gentlemen in Dundee sub.scribed a small fund,
from whieh between CiO and ۥ>> a year have
since been paid him, and :ibout {;7l remains
unexhausted. An efi’urt was made at the .same
time to procure a pension fur the Doctor from the
Literary Fund, which did not succ.ccd. It wa
renewed, however, successfully two years ago,
and jC.'iO per annum—a sum far less tl in it should
have been, seeing that tdUO per annum was
allotted in the same year to the widow of a Judge
of the Court of Sessions—was awarded.”

inst., is also aouounced,

ON THE ELEVENTH (Urn) DAY OF NOVE.MIiER
next, at the City of .Morehead, will be sold at
j public auction, the Lots of said City,
i This is the new City laid off by the “Shepard’s Point
I Land Company,” at the terminus of the Atlantic and
j North Carolina Rail Road, at Beaufort Harbor, N. (’.,
I immediately at the Atlantic Ocea%i.
The various Reports of the U. S. Coast Survey es
tablish the great excellencies of this Harbor, for fa-
cility of entrance, depth of water and security from
wind or wave, whilst Fort Mucon completely commands
the entrance.
The interior communications tiy water and lan'l
must make this a great Commercial City. The vast
pi'oductions of the fertile vaUej’s of the Roanoke, Tar
and Neuse Rivers and the commerce of those great
inland seas—the Albemarle, Cnrrituek, ('roatan aU'J.
Pamlico Sounds, will reach this fine Harbor through
t^re Sound on the north, whilst Ilogue Sound will
bear on its bosom the agricultural products, lumber,
naval stores and tine ship timber >f the regions lying
south.
The A. & N. C. Rail Road which will be readj- for
use by the tirst of January next, passes through the
entire length of the City to its wharf in 18 feet water
at low tide, anil connects with the great N Rai!
Road (of which it is a continuation) at Gold.sboro’.
The N. C. Rail Road, among the best iu the Union,
22d miles long, is completed to (,'arlotte, where it
connects through the South Carolina and Georgia
Rail Roads with .\tlanta anil the south west; and tiy
its western extension, now in rapid progress, it is con
templated to reach the trade of Memphis and the Mis
sissippi Valley b}- the net-work of all the rail ways
that connect at .\tlanta, Chattanooga, or with tlie
East-Tenncssee Rail Road.
The Port of Reaufort, Chattanooga, .Memphis an'i
St. Diago iti the Pacitic, are ut>out the same par-altel
of latituJe, and if that parallel be extended across the
Pacific, it will reach Shanghai, the nearest great Port
on the eastern Continent: therefore, if the Pacitie
Railroad ever be constructed, (and that should be done
forthwith) why may not this new City becme the .\t-
lantic mart for the commerce of the East Indies'
Two short Railroads will connect the two great Coal
Fields of the State, lying on the north and «outh ni
the North Carolina RuilroaJ, with that road; and it is
confidently expected that a vast coal trade will be
carried on through the new city: if so, may not lieau
fort become a great coaling Port, not only for j'Ur
poses of commerce, but to furnish the supplies to
steamers passing so near the entrance going north ami
south; and may not the new city Itecome that great
•‘entre depot’’ between the north and south, to which
our able and distinguished countryman, Lieut Maury,
refers in his unrivaled Statesmanlike j)aiicr on the
commerce of the .\mazon, South .America and the
Gulf of Mexico.'
The city of Morehead is situated on a beautiful neck
of land or dry plain, almost entirely surrounded with
salt water; its climate is salubrious; its sea-breeze
and sea-bathing delightful; its Irinking water goo.j,
and its fine chalybeate spring strongly imfiregiiatc.l
with sulphur, will nnvkes it a pleasaiu watering-plaee.
As not a single lit h:i- been or will be sold until the
day of sale, all will have an equal chance to get the
fjest lots and to suit themselves.
It will be th** first instance of an entire new city on
the Atlantic coast being brought into market at onc'-;
and capitalists may never have again such an epj,..,r
tunity for good investments, for a gi e.it citv ntust and
will fie built at this place.
