TOIIN T. GILIORR,now offers
' " lor sale a portion ot his swamp lands in the
county of Cumberland, about 14 miles below Fay
etteville, and ahut li miles east of the Cape Fear
Itiver. The entire swamp has been successfully
drained of the large body of water by which it was
heretofore covered. The land is apparently level,
being free from ridges (which are so common to
swamp lands generally) whilst there is an abundance
of fall, by which the rain water can be carried off
by ordinary ditches. A small portion of the land
has been in cultivation about 7 years and those
persons who have seen the crops, regard the land
as equal in fertility to any they have seen in this
state or elsewhere. The location is healthy, the
neighborhood good, and the access to Fayetteville
and Wilmington easy by means of a good road li
miles in length leading directly to the river. Besides
this, it is within 3 miles of a beautiful little village,
upon a high and healthy Bluff, at the river, with a
Store, Ware-house and first rate landing. All which
afford many conveniences to the neighborhood. As
several persons have spoken of purchasing, this is
deemed a proper time (o cali their attention to the
subject, in as much as there is a crop xow growing
upon a small portion of the land, by which they can
judge of its production. jCfll easonable terms will

THE X0RT1I CAKOLINIAN.
FAYETTEVILLE, N. C.
Materials for Paper.
(From the New York Scientific American.)
When readinp- and writing became com
mon and paper was demanded in sncb large
quantities, the consequent increased intel
ligence of the people taught them more, and
more the value of economy, and it was fear
ed that in time rags would become so scarce
that the price of paper would rise enormous
ly. This actually happened three years
ago, and the price of paper rose from two
to three cents a pound all over the world.
The London Times offered a very large
piemium for any Substitute which will make
the same quality of paper afaless price ; this
set fresli men at work and stimulated those
who were already in the field of discovery,
and this newspaper is now printed on paper
made from cotton and beet residue, but we
are not aware that they have been so fully
satisfied as to pay the premium. Dr. Coll
yer, at London, discovered that the refuse
of the beat sugar manufactories mixed with
cotton could be made into excellent paper ;
and we believe that the general impression
is that paper has been made from the refuse
alone. There is an abundance of this ma
terial in Europe.
In France, Belgium and Germany there
are 3000 beet sugar manufactories, which
give an annual refuse of 300:f,00 tons, and
there is about 100,000 more obtained from
the refuse of distilleries, so that the sup
ply may be regarded for the present as al
most illimitable. Very little change is re
quired in the machinery for manufacturing
paper from it, and it obviates the use of sixe.
It is said to contain about 56 per cent, of
fibre, 30 parts of albumen and cellulose,
and 10 parts of fixed salts. We are inclined
to think, however, that in estimating the
ino- which introduction of beet residue
will cause, some important considerations
have been omitted by the discoverer, and
his friends. In our opinion, from an exam
ination of the residue and the paper manu
factured from it and cotton mixed, the fibre
of the beet plays but a very small part, and
it is the mucilaorc wh;ch does the business.
We have not seen any paper of beet resi
due alone ; the sample which have come un
der our notice all containing more or less
cotton, and in proportion to the- amount of
cotton is the superior quality of the paper.
The beet residue, therefore, seems to us to
play the part of a mucilaginous medium in
stead of an aqueous one, the tendency of
which is to blind the cotton fibres better
together, to produce a sizing and face and
save material b' preventing the escape of
the small and finer cotton fibres lrom the
pulp, and by filling up the interstices be
tween the fibres ; but the amount of fibre
which it contributes, we are convinced, is
small. It is, for all this, a great discovery,
aud produces an excellent paper, which can
be printed dry ; and by varying the propor
tions of beet and cotton, any quality of par
per can be obtained. The printing paper
for newspaper is made from equal quantities
of each, and is worth about thirteen cents
per pound in this market. Mr Winchester
of 211 center street, in this city, is intro
ducing it into th;s country.
Another material that we wish to notice
is reed. We have seen some most excellent
wrapping paper made from Carolinian reeds
by a manufacturer in the neighborhood of
this city. It was strong, and when unbleach
ed had a pleasant brown color. The experi
ments are not yet concluded, and we have
many doubts whether any fine paper can be
made from them ; but if a good wrapping
paper and the coarser varieties can be made,
it will leave a quantity of rags to be better
employed ; and therefore we wish success to
the experimenter. We are not by any means
sanguine, however, respecting the ultimatum
of any of the new materials which are pro
posed for paper-making ; but as cotton and
hemp can be cheaply cultivated, the proper
method of cheapening paper will bo to pay
attention to the cultivation of cotton, and
spread its geological distribution, so that the
raw material will cost so little that it can be
used directly to make pulp without having
to be passed through other manufacturing
processes, as well as in a manufactured state.
This seems to us to be the idea which should
be propagated, as it would not only reduce
the price of the materials known, but would
also save the labor and expense of reducing
the rags, washing and bleaching, and sim
plify the process of paper-making by about
one-third.
Durable Woodhs Watrk Pipes. Some
wooden pipes laid down for conducting water
at Springfield, Miss., by Charles Steams, Esq,
appear to demonstrate the fact that they are
more durable in certain situations than pipes
made of lead. This plan is to lay them at
such a depth as to prevent atmospheric action
upon them. In sandy or porous aartb he lays
them six feet deep, iu compact soil four feet
deep, and iu peaty or swampy soil three feet
deep. Iu one place heavy lead pipe was laid
through a wet meadow, and it required repairs
in four years and had to be lifted in ten. It
was replaced by wooden pipes which have now
been twenty years in use, and are in good con
dition yet. lne aqueduct pipes which supply
SpnngOeld with water have been in use four
teen years, and are still in good order. They
are bored logs, the opening being seven inches
in diameter, and charred on the iaside surfaces
by forcing flame through them . The charring
ol the surfaces of wooden pipes or boards has a
wonderful effect in preserving them from de
composition. It is undoubtedly true that timber sunk be
neath the surface of the earth, and kept from
contact with the air, endures for centuries
VVe have seen an oak log taken from the bed
of a river, in which place it must have remained
for hundreds of years, owing to the depth of
sand which covered it, and yet it was as fresh
as when first submerged. Cedar logs taken
from the Jersey swamps, in which they have
reposed for a thousand years, are found to be
fresh and strong. Wooden pipes are cheaper
than those of metal, and arc preferable if they
can be rendered as durable. Sci. American.
"Sam Slick" on Downing Street.
At the Manchester Athenaeum soiree on
Thnrsday, the Honorable 'Judge Haliburton in
dulged in a highly sarcastic vein of bnmor ns he
depicted " that place iu London, not put down
in the show-books for the stranger, but well
worth any one's while to see, and which nag
called Downing Street. " Speaking of the
prevailing influence of the spot, he said they
would find the ait there so drowsy that , they
coirld scarcely keep their eyes awake. (Laugh-"
ter.) Almost everybody in that plarc is fast
asleep. The very sentries there have orders
from the Horse Guards to keep in perpetual
motion, or otherwise they would drop asleep.
(Continued langhter.) . You have heard a
great deal about chloroform and the surgical
operations performed upon patients under its
influence. In many cases death has occurred
during the operntion ; bat 1 venture to assert
that, if a man were taken to Downing Street,
he would sleep so soundly that his leg might
be cut off before he awoke. (Renewed laugh-

of the worthies in that sleepy hollow, he turns
over in his bed and asks what you want. If
yon tell him that we have five colonies with five
different laws, with live different sets of custom
houses, and five different currencies, he replies,
" What is that to us ? Call again next week."

to sleep again ; and it always would be the same.
There mnst be a great event to awaken the
Government to do anything. For instance,
there had been a dreadful mutiny in t!;e Fast
Indies, and it had resulted in the establishment
of a new government for that country. In
Canada, also, there was a rebellion, and that
rebellion had produced a responsible govern
ment. Recently the Government had been a
wakened out of its trance by the discovery of
gold in A'aneou ver's Island, and had found tho
truth of what he asserted in Manchester two
years ago. Sir Roderick Murchison, the great
geographer, had found the position of the island,
and told the Government where they might
diecover it on the map ; and they had placed a
cross with a pencil upon it, so that they might
know where to look for it again. (Ijuujjhter.)
The Government had now found that the dis
tance from Liverpool to Canton, by way of
Panama, was 13,900 miles ; by way of the Can
adian lakes it was only 1,000 miles ; so that
there would be a saving of 2,900 miles by the
latter route. (Hear, hear.) This was one of
his predictions, which had been considered
Utopian ; but he felt no hesitation in boldly
proclaiming that the trade with China would
hereafter pass through Canada. In a:icouver s
Island a magnificent vein of coal had been dis
covered, close to the water, only forty feet from
the surface, and nine feet thick, and forming a
coal mine for the whole Pacific. He congrat
ulated the people of this country and of the col
ony upon this event. (Hear, hear.)
Commencement.
The word commencement is so often wrong
ly interpreted, that, our readers may not
take it amiss if we give its proper significa
tion. The verb to commence, iu its collegiate
sense, is peculiarly technical, and means " to
take a degree, in a university or college. "
Formerly the verb was much used. For in
stance, in Winthrop's Journal we find this
passage: "Nine Bachelors commenced, at
Cauibridp-e, " -iid i the Historical Sketch
of the First Church in Boston, the following :
" Charles Chauncy was afterwards, when
qualified, sent to the University of Cam
bridge, where he commenced. Bachelor of Di-
viuity. " Trumbull, too, in his
Progress
of Dullness, " has this couplet :
" A scholar see him now commence.
Without the aid of books or sense. "
Commencement, then, is the time when
students iu colleges commence Bachelors, or
the day on which degrees are publicly con
ferred. The manner in which this season
was commemorated at Cambridge iu " ye
olden times, " was far different from that
which at present obtains there. In his al
manacs, Nathaniel Ames was wont to insert,
opposite the days of Commencement week,
remarks which he deemed appropriate to
that period. His notes for the year 1764,
were these : . N
" Much ta'k and nothing said. "
" The loquacious more talkative than ever
and fine harangues preparing. "
"Much money, suuk,
Much liquor drunk.
IIi3 only note for tho year 17G5 was
this :
" Many Crapulae to Day, ,
Give the Head-ache totheGay. "
Commencement day was generally consid
ered a holiday throughout the Bav province,
ana in uoston, tne metropolis, the shops were
usually closied and little or no business M as
done. About ten days before commence
ment, a body of Indians from Natick men,
women and papooses commonly made their
appearauce at Cambridge. 1 roy
