I or the simplicity of its construction and its utility to corn planters, it is unequalled by any other in vention. Perhaps we mav be thought to exag gerate, when we say it will shell a bushel of corn in three minutes, and by a little exertion in two minutes.

FIlllE Editor of the North-Carolina'I'elegraph X gives information to all conccrned, that he exjiects the publication of his paper to'com- mence the first week in Jaiiuar) next. Those persons holding subscription papers are request ed to make returns of subscribers’ nanie.s, at the farthest, by the 15th of December. Pa])crs di rected to the Post-Othce in Fayetteville, by ])ri- vate conveyance or by mail, will be dul\ atten ded to. - The Editor would do injustice to his own feel ings not to expre ,s his warmest gratitude, for tlu' liberal encouragement he has already re ceived. If any thing were wanting to confirm his conviction of the necessity and importance of su( h a publication, the patronage he hasre- ceiveil from all classes of society and from ev ery part of theState would certainly do it. It is hoped that all who wish fo possess the paper from its commencement w ill immediately send in their names, either by giving them to those wlio have proposals, or by leaving them v\ ith any Post-Master who will forward tiieni.— 'I'he present exjiectation is, to publish in |)ani])h- let I'orm, containing IG pages a week, making a volume of 83^' pages a year; so that those w ho take the work from its comineiicement, may hle.away for future usefulness a greater mass of religious, political, and literary intelli- genre than can, perhaps, be collected in any otlit r way, with so little expense. Ministers of the Gospel throughout the Stati are requested to make known to tlu ir congre gations the anticijiated coiniiienceiiient ot this paper, and to encourage all who wish to sub- scrilie to it without delay. It is believed that if those who have already taken a deep iiiten st in this object were respec tively to exert their influence a little farther, that a subscription sufHciently large would be obtained to ensure the coiitinuanee of a Jour nal so niiicli needed. Upon this influence the Editor confidently calculates, and promises his best exi rtions to meet the public expectation. Fayetteville, Nov. 23. I HEREBY give notice, that Thos.

M, REPORT Of the Board of Internal Improvement to the General Assembl) of North-Carolina. [eO.NCLCDEU.] The Board liave annexed accounts of the Expenditurx's IVom ihe fund for In ternal linprovfinent for tl e last year, and several reports from the Civil Engineer, explaininp: more in detail than the limits ol this report will permit, some of the tnatters to which their attention has beer, directetl. There is also a rej)t)rt from the Clubfoot and Harlow’s Creek Canal Company, and a copy of a report made by the Directors to the Stockholders of the Roanoke Navigation Comjjany, and which has been transmitted by the Pres ident ol that Comj)anyto this lioard. The Board, under the provision.s of the act passed at the last session, contracted for the services of Mr. Eulton as Civil Engineer until the first of January next, at the rale of emolument authorized by that act. The Legislature have been al ready informed, i)y the message of the (iovcrnoi’, that Mr. Eulton has given no tice that be will decline acting in that capacity after the termination of the present contract. The surveys, plans and estimates heretofo”e furnished by that al)le and valuable officer, and em bracing every important point at which improvements are at present contemi)la- ted, will, in the ojiinion of the Board, render it less necessary that such an oflice should continue to exist. On this sub ject, however, they will wait for the o- pinion and directions of the (ienerul As- senibiy. II’ the exlnitled plan of Inter* luil Iniprovenient, which the Board are aliout to recommend, should be adopted, tlu’y believe it will be most expedient that some person acijuainted with the practical jiai t of engineering, and who may be engaged at a moderate salary, should be employed by each incorporat ed comjiany to attend to its particular object of imjirovement. Erom this bi ief review of the transac tions of the Board for the past year, they are naturally led to indulge in some an ticipations for the future. If the Legis lature be seriously disposed to adopt and jjrosecute a liberal and more enlarg ed plan of internal improvement—one that shall be commensurate with the re sources of tlie state, and conducivc to its best interests—to keep pace •with the rapid strides u hi( h (jiir siller states are niiikint^ towards imi)if\einei!t, the nio'.t enlarged sense of the v. ri; d—i erty of presenting the following plan for adoption: They propose that the state shall ap propriate the sum of 500,000 dollars for internal improvement, to be obtained by loan } for the security of which the stock held by the state in the several Banks of the state shall be pledged. In a plan embracing our widely extended country, presenting so many various and impor tant objects for improvement, it is not to be expected that ail could have been at tended to. It is believed, however, that those designated require at our hands the first consideration. It will be found that a large sum has been appropriated for making roads. The roads upoti which this turn should be expended, are not designated. Should the Legislature ad opt the plan subnjuted, it will then be for them to give it that direction, which in their wisdom, may seem best. The sum appropriated to this object, it is be lieved, if properly expended, w ill go far towards making good roads lo all our market towns. The following are the objects, with the sums appropriated, at present iu con templation : Swash at Ocracock, { Shoal below W asliington, Hats below \\ ilmin„toii, For clearing tiif 1 ar River of logs ') aiiU trees irom Tarborough to ^ VV ashington, j Yadkin Na\igation Company, Tar River JsaMgation Company, Neuse River Navigation Company, Catuw ba Uiver Navigation Company 2o,UUU Broad River, 5,UU0 Roanoke Inlet, lou,uu0 Roads, 128,750 1433,750 In the above appropriations niaue lo organised Companies, the sums here Slated are intenued to include the unex pended balanceof former subscriptions on behalt ot the State. And lo shew the connection already existing with the sev eral Companies, we beg leave lo ruler lo the slatemeni marked (A.) The loliowing sums remain unexpend ed of former appropriations to objects not enumeraied in the above lists, and lo be included in the loan, viz : Roanoake Navigation Company, $25,000 Buncombe 'i'urnpike Company, 5,000 Smoky Mountain Turnpike Company, 5,000 Cape-Fear Navigation Company/ below Fayetteville, about 5 20,000 Clubfoot and HarlowCreek Cajial 4,500 Coini)any, Lumber River, 250 Broad River, traiisfeiTed by ^n'act^ ot 1823 to tlie Hickory Gap C 1,500 Road, about \ ’ Road from Ply mouth to Pungo River, 2,500 Road from Parksvillc to Pasquotank v River Bridge, ^ 2,500 Amount brought from the other page, 433*750 ( 10,000 5,uou b,OUO 4,000 55.000 20.000 25,000 >500,750 Shonld it be desirable to the State, lo become the sole proprietor of the several works contemplated, proposals might be made to Uie dill'ercni Comjianies to sur render their charters, on condition of iheir^being paid the lull amount of the work done, or by scaling the stock, if preferred, as was done by the Cape-l’ear Company, li is highly probable, that the several Navigation Companies might be^ induced lo come into measures of this kind. Should, however, the pro position be rejected,_ the Slate may, on Its part, refuse any a'ssistance, and direct the appropriation to some other object. The sums appropriated to the several objects specilied, it is believed, will be suUicient to complete them ; or, at all events, place them in such a slate of for wardness, that the lolls arising therefrom will be entirely adequate to efleci what ever may afterwards remain uniiiiished, thereby rendering a resort lo ihe Slate for lurllier aid unnecessary. The Board would not be understood, in the above enumeralion, as having includ ed all the objects that liic Slate should efl'eclj but as having only presented sucii ol them, as in their opinion, possess the strongest claim to your consideraiion. It may now become their duly, lo shew the entire ability of the Slate, to etfcct the jjlan proposed. Il is presumed Uiat an annual expenditure of fcl0u,0u0 will be as much, it noi a greater sum, than would be reijuired, in any one year, to discharge all the ordinary demands a- gainsl the 'I'reasury. Calculating, then, t hat the annual leceipts itiio the Treasury Irom all the various sources of revenue, will amouiil to the sum of fe 135,000, there then will remain an unexpended balance at the end of each year, of 35,- 000 ; dollars which il is proposed to set apart for the purpose of paying the accruing interest upon the loans, and the balance with any other funds that may hereafter l>e provided, lo constitute a sinking IhikI, lor the final redemption of the v;iiole ol’ the loatis. The o,;n aiion cl'this plan will enable i.'ie Stati^tu expend annually 5^100,000 for I# * C4IIIIVIUI1; ri iui be ti. ('isnosition, *>.e!i take hb- five and at tlie end of tliat time [NO. only owe a debt of $367,534 64. Thr interest upon which sum, at the rate of six per cent, will be g22,052 07 84-100, leaving for the first year after the whole of the appropriations shall have been borrowed, a balance pf 812,948 93, to be applied towards' the discharge of the principal. In aid, however, of this fund, iht operation of which, alone, might be considered by many as postponing the reimbursement of the loansio too distant a period, considerable reliance, it is pre sumed, might he placed upon the funds to be derived from the Cherokee lands, already purchased, and those which may hereafter be acquired from that nation ; and, also, from the increased wealth of the State, produced by the contemplated improvements, a correspondent increase must take place in the various sources of revenue. From this view of the subject, the Board cannot entertain a doubt of the entire ability of the State to reimburse the loans as soon as it might be desira ble to do so. If, however, unfore.seen exigencies should occur, so as to render the ordin ary expenditures of the Treasury grea ter than the sum now supposed, (to wii, 55100,000,) or if the surplus l^und over and above the ordinary expenditures should fall short of the sum of g;35,000, proposed as the 6as/'s i'tf the sinhug f’tndy the Legislature must make pi ovisiou for sustaining the revenue to that amount. In submitting these views, the Board of Internal Improvement have been in duced to do so, from an entire con\ iciion, on their part, of the great importance of the subject, as inseparably connected with the lasting welfare and prosperity of the state; and to urge, in the'most respectful manner, the adoption of at least some measure, that will hold out to the state something more subsianii'al than a mere illusion, and upon which tlieir hopes and fears may safely be reposed, and their fondest expectations 1 calized. Whatever course the Legislature may adopt in relation to Internal Impiove- ment, the Board strongly recommend that the works on the Cape-Eear, both a- bove and below Wilmington, should be prosecuted to elTecl. When these are completed, unless further and large ap propriations are made for other objects, there would seem to exist liitle or no ne cessity for continuing the Board of In- ternaJ Improvement. I have the honor to be, with the high est respect and consideration, yours, &c. H. G. BUR1-0N, I\ n. /. Improvement. GUBEItNATORIAL MESSAGES.

There is no English word enough to be appropriate for the in tercourse of the State Palaces in this country with the Halls of Legislation The KingofEngland despatches the an nual topics of his empire in half a column of type. The King^of France,’notwith standing the inherent loquacity of the French, makes as short a speech. And yet materials might be found in these countries, if any where, for some mode rate amplification, which however docs not seem to be the taste on the other side of the water. It is in our happy country that this art is chiefly cultivated.
