This disease is prevailing to an alarming ex- tent, in the northern part of this county, having already carried off a number of persons. Byref- erence to Hie obituary notices, it will be seen ' that there have been, in one neighborhood, 14 deaths among the w hite population, from this ; per measures to be adopted to secure its suc disease, in less than two weeks ; and a corres- ! cess. pondent informs us, that from the number sick, many more deaths are ai many more deaths are anticipated. The nejjro population also suflers to a great extent.

Since our sister town of Wilmington has been unsuccessful in her application to CoiWi'ess for an oppropriat ion to deepen the entrance at the mouth of the Cape Fear River, the citizens are beginning seriously to agitate the project of tak ing the initiative in thisgieat work, at their own private expense. At a meeting held on the Uth inst , the proceedings of which appear on the outside of this paper, a spirited resolution was " adopted, pledging the meeting to the accom plishment of the woik. The history of Wil mington has alieady proven that fortune will help those who help themselves, and the resolu tion in ijuestion does not indicate any diminution of that energy and public spirit for which that town is celebrated. The proposed work is one of t he c rea test i mpoi -tance to Wilmington. Fay etteville, and the back country which depends on us f'r supplies, are also deeply infested in it. We trust that it will be commenced at an early dav and pressed on to a successful consummation. The l. st Congress at its fust Session , approp riat cd t- 'i'.nOO to the improvement of tiie Cape Fear P..ir. This sum, in itself, is altogether insuffi cient; and, as a remedy, it is proposed to au thorize the commencement of the woik on such a scale as the necessity of the case may require, and that Wilmington shall supply any deficien cy in the appi opi iation. If Ceil Pierre had !pen defeated, we express the opinion in which we believe most of our readers will concur, that this Union would not have Listed during the four ye. us of t lie next ad ministration trlh Carolinian.

VICE PRE.-1 DENT KING. The Washington Union of the loth contains the following in relation to Mr King: A letter received in this city from an authentic source in the island id Cuba, under date of March 0th. states that the Vice President, whose critical state of health is at this time viewed by the coun try with so much of sympathy and appre hension, on tlte 3d int., took up his resi dence at the suar estate of Col. ('hart rand, about fifteen miles from Alatanzas. having found his former location on the island too much exposed to the sea breezes. The N ice 1'iesident is much gratified with the kindness and attention' which have been shown him since Ids an ival in Cuba; and though somewhat weaker than he was when he reached Matanzas. has exhibited in his new residence a cheerfulness o spirit which gives his Iriends reason to hope that his life may be prolonged for some time to come. The whole country will learn with gratification that every possible cuort is mat bv those around him to alleviate his sufterinns and to minister to his prostrated health. LATER INTELLIGENCE. Since the above was in type, we find in the Washington Union of the loth, the following telegraphic dispatch: New Oi lcans, March 12. The steamer Crescent City has arrived here from Ha vana, with tlates to t lie Oih inst. Vice President Kinn was still at Matanzas, and his health rapidly failing. lie has no hopes of ever returning to the U. States alive. The new Territory of Washington, created by the last Congress, comprises that part of Ore gon which lies north of the channel of Columbia river, to where it crosses the -luth degree of lat titude, and thence along said degree of latitude to the top of the Rocky Mountains. The land occupied by Missionary Stations, not exceeding (510 acres to each, together with the improve ments is expressly confirmed to the Missionary Societies respectively which established the same. Statiuns that were so occupied prior to the pas sage Gf the act organizing the Territory of Ore gon., are also confirmed to the Societies which established them, even though they have since been abandoned. Standard. RETURN OF SANTA ANNA. We extract Irom the Washington Union of the l5tn the following telegraphic despatch : New Ohlkans, March. 12. An Knlish steamer was met seven days ao entering Vera Cruz, with banta Anna on board. He i returning tu the capital to assume the reins ol government. A RAIL ROAD FROM FATETEVILLE TO BEAUFORT. The question of connecting this town with Beaufort Harbor, hag begun recently, to occupy tlie attention ot the people ot tins community, s. we are irlad to see that the neonle on the line ,.f the proposed route are beginning to manifest a missioner; J. Porter Brawley.for Surveyor Gene due interest in the scheme. A meeting of those ' ral; and Ephraim Banks, for Auditor. General of fjvorahle to the nroipcf. was lipid at Clinton, on ! ')e State. ' .-. . the 13th inst., at which, we learn from a private letter to a gentleman in this vicinity, from a citi- zeu of Clinton, much zeal for the project was manifested. A committee was appointed by the meeting for the purpose of corresppndmg with the friends of this route, in relation to the pro- It hns long been generally conceeded that Beau- i furt Harbor is one of the finest on the Atlantic j j coast.

Some of the wisest and best men of our State have repeatedly urged upon the Legislature the expediency 6f aiding some great work of inter mit improvement, to connect Beaufort Harbor vsith the West, but heretofore, with little suc cess. One good ell'ect, however, has followed from their eflorts, viz, that public attention has been aroused and directed to that quarter. It is confidently believed by many, that on Eeaufoit i Harbor there is an admirable site for a city, and that nothing is wanting to build one up, but fa cilities for communication with the interior. A Rail Road from Fayetteville to Beaufort, connect ing with the contemplated road to the coal mines, would, in our opinion, srrpply this deside ratnm Such a road would carry to Beaufort, as a point of shipment, a great variety of productions in such quantities as would, in all human probabili ty, soon build up a considerable town, and ulti mately a city of gre.it commercial importance Coal, copper, naval stores, and the rich agricul tural products of the back country, would flow- there abundantly. These would at once con- ! centrate a repecfabfe trade at IJe;.ufort. And ! as capital would flow in, and other enterprises he projected and prosecuted to a sucresful consummation,- the new city w ould gradually rise in the scale towards that importance to which her fine position would entitle her. It has been rumored lately, that Smith &. Col by, of W..11 street, New ork, designed building uie connection between nits' place and Beaufort, under the chatter ot the Western Rail Road. We do not know what may be their intention with regaid to the rrmter, but the charter is exceed ingly liberal in its provisions, and if disposed to avuil themselves of it, we sef no legal impedi ment to their building the proposed road under it. BE'AUi-'OtiT 1 1 A n DOR. Bv the kindness of a gent leina n in this vicinity we have had access to an old volume published in 1S2S', entitled "The Numbers of Cailton." TjH.v were written bv the late Dr.- Calc'well, part of the State. We came into the possession of the volume only a short time before going to press, and can therefoie only make a few brief ex tracts : "Jieaufort has all the advantages of! immediately fronting on the sea. In con sequence of this, its healthiness is unques tionable, and this accords with its past history and the constant experience of it inhabitants. It is better situated on this account than Norfolk ; and as it can not be surpassed in this respect by Charles ton or any place to the outh, its lati- i tutle must give it greatly the superiority in a comparison with any pott in that it" . tliicciinii- Jet the expense of transportation from the whole back country be teduced by means of a rail-way to little or nothing, anil as a commercial city it must advance with instant ami lapid progress to prosperi ty and a numerous population. Many of us perhaps are but little aware of the effects of trade when its facilities are once creat ed. At the site of the present town of Rochester, on the western canal of New Yoik, there were in 1SI3 three houses onl v. That place is now swelled to the dimensions of ten thousand inhabitants. It is precisely two hundred and seventy miles west of Albany, ami from the latter place to New-York is a hundred ami forty -five miles more ; yet it is in this city that Rochester and the country around it, through the distance of four hundred and fifteen miles, find a market for tiieir grain, and the productions of their industry. It is an easy matter, by widening the Har low canal a lew feet, and deepening it two or three, to throw it open to the free pass age of steamboat, and then t lie whole com merce of the Albemarle and Pamlico wa ters would, by the easiest, promptest, arid safest navigation possible, be conceit traieil at iseauiui l. 11 u uc .inmninMiru i . r ir : . i. i. by any that the waters of these sounds are McNair Treasurer; Malcom McNair, XV.
