Foray upon Chihitahua and Sonora. —We
have been inclined to regard the rumor that an expe
dition of qua^i Pike’s l*eakers was preparing for
a foray upon the 3Iexican States, in the event of
failure at the gold diggings, as inferential rather
than having real foundation in fact, liut it
seems, from recent developments, that a plan for
such an expedition actually exists, and that there
is no doubt that agents have been busily drum
ming up recruits in the border States and else
where, for an expedition which is to be concen
trated in (’hiliuahua and Sonora. No more fav
orable time than the present could be selected;
for, in addition to those regularly enlistetl, there
will be no lack of volunteers from ‘.he desperate,
discouraged, disappointed and reckless gold-seekers
above alluded to.
The St. houis Uepubliean says that all circuin-
.stances “warrant the belief that an inroad, peace
able or otherwise, will be made into the Mexican
States which we have named. All that is wanted
to give a successful issue to such an expedition, is
money—money to pay for the provisions for the
use of the men. This has been the main difficulty
in the way of an earlier organization, and may yet
]>revent an efficient force from being set in motion.’
A correspondent of the Uepubliean states that
many who had reaelied the mines, and others n
rout*', were enrolling themselves in comj>anies for
Arizona and Sonora.—X. 1. Jour, of
Thi‘ I'tah CompJicdtion.—The Jiew I tali com
plication arises not only from a discrepancy be
tween the instructi(»ns and powers held by the
commanding (lencral, Johnston, and those of the
civil (lovernor. Col. C'uniming, but from a radical
and original diflercnce of opinion between those
officers, as to the mode of treating the Mormons.
The ('Kivcrnment has Tieglected to modify the in
structions which had been given to (’ol. John
ston, as commander of the Ctali I'XjM'dition, after
other instructions connected therewith had been
given to !ov. (’uniniing. 1'heir powers are now
conflicting, and neither will yield to the other.
It is also neces.«ary that the President should ex
plain the meaning and intention of the amnesty
proclamation, inasmuch as Ceneral .Johnston and
the I". S. Judges have considered it as waf^te
]>aper.— Cor. Jonr. of C’ntn.
Southern Baptist Contention.—The Southern
Baptist Convention assembled in the Fir^t Bap
tist Church, at Richmond, on Friday. A large
number of distinguished ministers are present.
It is understood that the subject of controversy
between Drs. Howell and GraA^es, (both of whom
are in the city,) will be considered by the Con

Cotton.—It is mentioned in the Cuban (Cor
respondence of the (’harleston Courier, that a
great effort is in progress to render Cuba a cotton
producing island. Planters in almost every sec
tion of Cuba have been led to devote attention to
the cotton culture by promi.>es of aid of English
capital. The Government h.as decreed that the
doint Stock Cotton-growing Company shaU be al
lowed to import the gins and other machinery
re«juisite for preparing cotton for market, free of
all duty. A planter, who.sc estate i:i within four
leagues of Havana, having had the requisite seed
presented to hun, has recently planted a field ot
seven hundred acres of cotton, which the Joint
Stock (’ompany will purchase as it is gathered,
gin, press, and send it to the British markets. It
is believed that in three years (Cuba will export
(’otton to a con.Mderable extent. Its cultivation
is said to be peculiarly suited to the Coolies.
The following is a statement by a Mobile paper
of the movement in cotton since the 1st of Sep
tember last, as compared with the previous three
years:

A writer in the National Intelligencer says:
Wright’.» New York Cotton Circular, April liti,
185y, represents the receipts at the principal
ports of the United States, since 1st September
last, to have been ‘5,418,000 bales; and it is re
ported at Augu.«»ta, Georgia, the 30th of J^pril,
that the total receipts at all the Southern ports
were 3,477,900 bales, being 7S4,400 bales ahead
of lai^t year; the stock in port 33,300 bales. Con-
sefjuently if the crop be, at the outside figure,
3,700,000, there was in the interior, on the 1st
of May, not more than l8.',suo bales; V>ut more
probably at lea.st 50,000 bales less, and much of
that, yet to arrive, of inferior (juality. But.
at the prices that have ranged throughout, the
crop will produce to the country not far less than
two hundreJ millions of dollars.
Finwn'CES out We.st.—The correspondence
of one of the N. V. papers contains the following
remarkable allusion to the agriculture and busi
ness condition of the West:
“All the advices that we get from the West
represent that region as being in a deplorable con
dition—without products for exchanges, or means
to pay debts or for dutiable imports. The gener
al tenor of intelligence from different parts of the
West is not cheering in regard to the progress of
agriculture and the prospects of the crops for the
coming sea.son. Our settlements there have al
ready gone beyond the limits which nature has
set to the productive portion of the country; and
the older parts of the West and Northwest are
less j)roductive now than formerly.”

Perhaps in the early settling of the fcurroundiiiL
lands l)y the whites, its area and depth were great

made on the “Hidge” on the south side of the

For many years, agriculture was a precariou.''
business, even on the “ridge,” owing to the con
stant overflow of water in Jie Lake, and in th
low, flat swamps lying between the ridge and the
Sound. The increa.xe of [>opulation and the ex
treme richne.ss of the land, demanded-a change.
This was jmrtially effected by the settlers cutting
the “big ditch,” leading from Lake Landing to
Wysocking (’reek. Still the citizens labored
under great di.-advantages until the State's aid
was secured .«ime years ago, when the ‘big ditch'
was enlarged and deej)ened to the capacity of a
third cla.ss canal. Immediately it was found, that
most of the lands lying in the swamps which had
been submerged for centuries, were capable of
being drained and brought into cultivation. The
lands were entered and bought up, ditching and
clearing commenced, the Lake having become
suflSciently low to drain the adjacent lands ]>y
ditches running into it. Soon the whole face of
the country was changed. fine farms were
opened on ujiper “South Lake ” and then on
“North Lake” in the neighborhiMjd of FairficM.
North and South Lake, are terms ustd to express
the North and South side of Mattaniuskeet Lake.
But we have wandered from our design. The
“remarkable” features of the Lake are yet to be
noted. The waters of this Lake are entirely
fresh, and although fed' continually by clear
streams from the adjacent swamps, are always
thick and muddy. Riding around it, and lM)king
upon its gla.s.y surface, one would imagine it to
be clear, limpid water, but in dipping up a glass-
full, at any time, or in any part of the lake, night
or day, when the winds are down upon it or in a
perfect calm, the water in the glass looks as black
as your hat nearly, and as muddy as if dipped
from a mud hole. Yet, there is no sand or grit
or earth in it. It holds in semi-solution all the
sediment which in other lakes sinks to the bot
tom. It has always been so fn»m the beginning
The Methodist Church, North.—The N. ^ ork
Post notices a movement of no inconsiderable con
cern to a large branch of the (^hristian church in
our country. It says that an important change is
discus.sed among the Methodists in regard to the
government of the church and the itineracy of
the ministers. The Layman’s Association of the
(’incinnati (’onference, recently in session, re
solved that it would conduce to the walfare of the
whole church so to change the present system as
to allow of lay representation in the general and
other conferences. They object U) being so ex
clusively governed by ministers. They farther
say that “the good of their children, the church,
and the world loudly calls for a more intimate re
lation between pastor and peoj>le, which can only
be obtained ]>y a more protracted sUiy of the jias-
tor with the jieople.” One of the reasons they
urge against the present system of itineracy is
that it is a grievous and unnecessary burden upon
the church. They calculate that in displacing
their four thou.>;and ministers from fields where
they have just began to labor with succe.ss and in
removing them to new ones, where six months
will bo re|uired to make acjuaintances, an ex-
pen.sc is incurred every two years of 20,000 for
removals, and another ^120,U00 in the deprecia
tion of household goods; making an aggregate
which exceeds the whole sum contributed b} the
Methodist Episcopal church to foreign mi.ssions.
They also reckon that every two years of a thou-
sanii years ministerial labcjr are lost in the proce.'^s
of removal, and argue that the system is "extrav
agant.” They also protest against the absor|.tijii
)f the time of niini.-ters in editing, teaching Latin
and mathematics, and directing book concerns,
and hold that laymen may be found to attend to
many things which now divert many of their
ministers from their proper work.

CAROLIiVA CITY HOTEL.
P.4BR0TT & MEWBOBX, Proprietors.
This magnificent Hotel has been enlarged to nearly
double its original size, an addition of eighty-eight
feet having been added on Railroad street, thus pre
senting an imposing front immediately in view of the
Atlantic Ocean.
The veranda of this Hotel (which is three stories
high) fronts towards the Ocean two hundred and eight
een feet, affording a
Deli^htl\il Promenade.
From this stand point, the beholder can scan the Ocean
in the South. Boguo Sound in the youth-west, the Har
bor with all its shipping. Fort Macon andjthree Light-
Houses in the South-east, affording a range of
OCEA.ir SCEMERY,
that is scarcely elsewhere to be met with.
The superintendence of this Hotel -will be in the
hands of-Mr. H. ERAMBERT, (formerly of the Fay
etteville Hotel.) whose taste and skill so eminently
qualifies him for making all the guests feel as if they
were at home.
The best servants the country could afford have been
secured.
Those who stop with us will never be at a loss for
Recreation and Entertainment.
Our steamboat will make regular trips to Beaufort‘
the Inlet, the Fort, and often on extra excursions, while
our B.\ND OF MUSIC will be ever “discoursing sweet
sounds” to the ears of those who shall favor us with
their company.
Our BAR will furnish choice liijuors of all kinds; our
BILL1.\RD ROOM is in good order, and our BOWL
ING -\LLEY will be constantly open for the entertain
ment of those who have a taste for these healthful ex
ercises: and our RE.VDING ROOM will contain files of
the best newspapers, magazines, and periodicals pub-
lishc'l.
The sick will find our
BAnrill.'VO HOUSES
a matter of great comfort and a help to better health.
We feel assured that in every respect we can give
entire satisfaction; we shall, at least, spai% no pains to
do our whole duty, that all our guests may receive all
jiossible attention.
T.\KE NOTIt'EI As the train arrives after dark
each evening, persons going to Beaufort will do well to
stop over night at Carolina City, as they can be con
veyed, wherever they wish to go, the next day, in a
steamboat or sail-boats, and thus be saved the trouble
of a disagreeable night trip across the water.

The Wheat Crop.—Never, within our memo
ry, have the Wheat fields in this section present
ed a brighter prospect for a heavy crop The
great misfortune is that the fields are too small;
most of the land being reserved for Tobacco, an
article the culture of which throws seven of our
li|uid, in appearance, otie would think, e
to turn the stomach of a horse. \ et it is pure
water; stock arc ftind of it, and in the ‘‘dry sea
son,” before cisterns were brought into use in
that section, it was the chief reliance of hundreds
of ])cr.sons for drinking water.
But our distant readers must not suppose it
wjis drank while black and muddy. 'I'he j)lan
for its purification was this. A hogshead was
procured, one head taken out, and thoroughly
cleansed. .Vt evening it wa.s placed in a cart,
the open head up, and the vehicle driven into
the lake and the hogshead filled. It was then
hauled home and jdaced under a shelter or tree.
A table spoonful >f }tounded alum was then
sprinkled oYcr it, and it rctnained (juiet until
morning. The night had cooled, and the alum
had settled it, and in the morning on dipping
up a glass, it would Ite f»und to be as clear and
gure as rain water. Nor was the tiu«te disagreea
ble, bating a slight roughness produced l)y the
alum. The sediment wtmld occupy about one-
eighth of the hogshciul at tlie bottom.

Tlie unequalled work of Mr. PJ)illip>, ou tlie Law of

This edition has undergone a thorough revision by
Mr. Edwards, and has received an Immense amount of
labor, and is now as nearly perfect us can be made.
The .American labor and talent bestowed ujion the
work are not less than that derived from the English
source. The immortal notes of .Messrs. Cpwen & Hill,
together with tho.se of Mr. Van Cott. have been care
fully preserved; and instead of being put in .a volume by
themselves, as formerly, they are now placed below the
text—a disposition of iliem which will very much faci
litate reference. Tiie entire note and text are arranged
in three conqiact volumes, with a table of cases, and ati
extremely full index to each. .Mr. Edwards has care
fully noted any diatinctious that may eiist between the
Particular attention given to sale op shipment i English and American law. and has added all the late
of Naval Stores. Cotton, &c. i American decisions.
