For we have a country that is daily improving in spite of every obstacle, and we now only lack a plank road "to the nearest point on Cape Fear to make Lvmberton a market Town. We have or would have a most excellent bark country trade, to-wit: the upper part of Marion District, tbe lower part of Richmond, a con siderable portion of Randolph and Moore, together- with other counties, and -nearly all of our own. Now what is lacking to obtain this trade? Nothing but the ability to sell heavy goods, such as Iron, Salt, Molasses, Flour, Sugar, Coffee and the like, at Fayetteville prices. A plank road would enable us to purchase country produce, and sell heavy articles at Fayetteville prices; and really we think a good plank road would give us the advantage over Fayetteville, for this reason : Boats in our interest can freight goods to our landing A,r tw o-thirds of w hat they would charge to Fayetteville, and the other third would land them id Lumberton, providfd the road runs to the nearest point. Such a road would enable us to enriclt our Lands, for w e could afford to purchase, and have brought to our very doors, Plaster, Linje, Marie, and that great fertilizer Guano, the value of which our people are just beginning to find out Besides this country w ill some day be the head quarters for the Turpentine interest What a vast amount of that article would go over our road. When we look at the small amount of money required to build the road, and the vast benefit that would result from it, we cannot too strongly urge upon its friends the propriety of taking immediate steps to com mence the work, and would therefore recom mend that Books be opened immediately for the stock, in shares of fifty dollars, and that our members in the ensuing Legislature he requested to procure a charter for the Company to run from Lumberton to Council's landing. We thick seventeen thousand dollars" "will accomplish t he-work. THOS. A. "NORM EXT, EDW'D LEWIS, V JAMES BLOUNT. The Committeoa vvhom "-w?as referred the subject of the navigation ql Lumber River, sub tprit the following report: Vi y.ng- vfryidejiberately . considered .the Juat tee ofopenfhg the River and makingt navigable for steamboats, &.c, from the bestffiformation we have been able to gather, and from our own personal knowledge of the same, we believe that it is possible, with the proper improvement, to luii d sicduirr nil 11 at icusi iiiev couiu DC Car- riPfi n thP Kiv-r with mnh J. rJSL .L boats than they could be carried down, for the reason that the river is so very crooked and nar- row-that it would be with difficulty that thevl could be carried down without iniurv. We have no data on which to found anything like an esti mate as to the amount it would require to make the improvement necessary for stearfffcoats to ply this river, but our apprehension is that it must take from 10,000 to $20,000, and then boats fur freight could not run on it for the reason already assigned, that the river is so very narrow and crooked that boats of sufficient depth and w idth to carry freight could not run 4 months in the year, and for the same reasons it would be im possible for steamers to draw tow boats Under the foregoing considerations we deem it vry impracticable forgteamers ever to run tffrs river. All of which is respectfully submitted, B EN J . FREEMAN, W. W. EVANS, Committee. A letter was then read by R. E. Troy, Esq, from Dr. Robinson of Elizabethtow n, in favor of running the road to that place, also stating the probable amount of stock that would be subscrib ed, which was about $S,000.

In-the process of gold-beating the metal is reduced to laminae or leaves of a deo-ree of tenuity which would appear fabulous, if we had not the stubborn evidence of common experience in the arts as its veri fication.

Hillsboro' Recorder. Woman. -A Comparison. The Na tional Jntelligenccr is publishing a series of letters, from a citizen of Washington, who is travelling in the Old World. In his last letter he thus compares the women there with those of his wn country: In my rambles about the village of Baalbek, I was struck with the beauty of tiie children, and the extreme youthful ness of some of the Arab mother.' 1 saw several young females, not more , than twelve or fourteen years ot age, with babies in their arms, evidently their own; and I was told that this is quite common throughout Syria. Many of the women (1afe very beautiful much more so, I think, than either the Circassian or the Turkish women. It was quite .enchanting to see their fine complexions, dark eyebrows, a4id ".flashing eyes, arid for, regularity . .and delicacy of features, I have seldom seen them equalled, except in other narts of Syria. In Mazereth, I saw sump of the best formed, and most beautiful ivbmcn I 11 . lit . had ever seen in any country: 1 believe it is noted as much for the beauty of its female population among tourists, as for its'historical interest; but at no place did 1 see what 1 really thought approached the perfeetion of beauty in so high a. degree as in Bethlehem. The women of Bethlehem are absolutely bewitching. I never saw such perfect profiles, such eyes and eye brows, and such delicate little hands and feet. Not that I mean to say that they are at all to be compared in all the higher attributes of beauty to our own fair coun try women, for that would be sacrilege. There is nothing in the Kast, or in liurope either, r any where else that 1 have eer visite'd, to camp'are with the ladies of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. Talk of Parisian beauties ! Lively and vivacious they are, to be sure; but not dig nified, not queenly, not gentte and mo dest. Talk of English beauties ! Grand enough, fair, but not graceful, and stiff as buckram. Italian beauties; dark, dull and greasy. German, fat ami Horid; Turkish, tallowy and buttery; all well enough in their way; but Mashalla I it won't do to mention them in the same breath with American beauties. Direct Trade. We notice by the last Jew IJernian, that Mr AlexV Miller, has recently received from Liverpool,- an invoice of rich Lace Goods direct from the manufactory, in Nottingham, England. The importation may not be -a very extensive one, but we like to notice every effort made in this State, for the establish ment of a direct trade,. and we trust that this anil every eflbrt of kindred character will meet that encouragement necessary to place them on a firm and sure basis. Distressing Accident. We learn that on the 27th ult. Mr James McLer.ny, acting in the capacity of overseer for Mr Abraham Hobbs, of Sampson county, was stricken by lightning while ploughing in the field, and instantly killed. His horse was also killed by the same stroke, and the plough frame considerably shattered. Mr Mc Lenny leaves a wife and one child to mourn his loss. J Wilmington Journal Here is what we call a good idea, and we don't see why some of our ladies canTt act upon it : Leap Year. We see by the Reading Gazette, tliatjlie ladies of that city, taking advantage of the privileges conferred by leap year, gave a complimentary benefit to th-.; gentlemen week before last. The usual order of things was reversed, the ladies actinias floor -managers, choosing their partners for the dance, helping the gentle men to refreshments, aid gallants. figuring as Street reqoeMet. Uugi cAtrerVx he carret Twhtirli had been very quiet, in spite of a restless bright eye, began to show symp. toftis of uneasiness, and as he ran about the room, exhibited some unusual move ments, which rather surprised the fair purcharer. At last, to their great dismay, the new dog ran squeaking up one of the window curtains, so that when flic gen tleman returned home a few minutes after, he found the ladies in consternation, and right glad to have his assistance. He vigorously seized the animal, took out hi pen-knife, cut off its covering, and display -ed a large rat to their astonished eyes, and of course to its own destruction. Jew and Catholic Makhied A young Jew, in Paris, wished to be married sotne weeks since, to a young girl of the Catho- lie religion. The young lady applied to her pastor, who said he could not bless the marriage of a Jew. The pastor re ferred her to the Archbishop of Paris, who referred her to the Court of Rome. The Pope refused to authorize the marriage They then turned to the other side. For want of a Catholic blessing on their mar riage the lady consented to receive that of the Jew. They applied to the Grand Rabbi; but he was not less exclusive than the Pope, and refused to bless the marriage of a Catholic The Pope refused to bless the Jcv; the Rabbi refused to marry the Christia n; the young people were either prevent ed from marrying, or were to be married without a benediction. rThen the uncle of the young bridegroom advised them, as the last resource, to address themselves to one of his colleagues, a Protestant pastor, M. Coquerel. AI. Co querel replied that he had in Ins heart prayers for the' whole world, and,, above all, for those who wish for them. So the yung people vere married A Wonder. According to some Ital ian journals, a new organized being has been discovered in the interior of A frica, which seems to form an intermediate link between vegetable and animal life. This singular production has the shape of a spotted serpent.. It drags itself along on the ground, and. instead of ahead has a (lower shaped like a bell, which contains a viscous liquid. Flies and other insects attracted by the smell of the juice, enter into the flower, where they are caught by the adhesive matter. The flower then closes and remains shut until the prisoners are bruised and transformed into chyle. The indigestible portions, such as the head and wings, are thrown out by two aspired opening. The vegetable serpent has a skin resembling leaves, a white and soft flesh, and, instead of a bony skeleton, a cartilagennus frame filled with yellow marrow. The natives consider it deliciou food, at least so says the paper from which we copy the above, but we consider the whole story a fabrication. Commercial JVavy of Great Britain. The commercial Ateam-navy of Great Bri3? tain, available for the national defence the time of need, amounted, on the fin&ri of January last, to twelve hundred afc;Si eighteen vessels; and it is stated upO auinenuc information, that there wefkt least one hundred steamers states of construction, or-et Mince the beginning of the yearjk .delud ed in the official return4$Mfvessels constituting this great steam-naVj -ary in size from two hundred tons burthen to three thousand.
