Improving the breed olCattle. :
Our anentiott' has been drawn to this
subject, by a gentleman to w hpse liberali
ty, real and intelligence, this state is rr!M h
indebted. The importance of improving
the hrted of cattle and domestic animals,
is made abundantly manifest from the
fart, that Icastock cattle, to the valuc
of 800.0(H) dollars, are veaily brought
from the interior of New-Yi k, and sold
in this stite, av an avetage . advance
of one-third mo- e pri e, than cattii
of a similar description from the inte
rior of otir own state. The cattle
frorh New York are- of better breed
than btiTsTTfeejrfeed easier and grow
larger ; and as before slated, are cbnsid
ered worth One-third more.

The town of Newberri has bern pro-
post d as a stalling point (or a Hipoid

reasons are tufbfe shown for such a liicla- v;
Mire. A wise people will proceed to
ait upon a plan, cniy when it is shown
atisfattoiiiy that the pibiic ncliaie wU

as are best situated. .for rem men e by M!aV
It is certainly plat ed iti our lowtr n,un

limits of that part of our state. Its up
poriunhies at the present time are to be
very d iff rtenily estimated fit.m what tht y

It ntight well appear remarkable f!.at
Nrth Carolina should have atna)s c it

has eer deeped it, while stich a hatbor

to the words of the Engineer,, aiuj
would that they: might f. revtr returrup

In regard to the Harlow Canal he says,
" I am f opinion that the tent fits reHjit
jng from the opening of so important z
s mmunication.with one of. the bvn. in
lets on the coast, will much more
compensate for the amotinrof the-est f- ...
mate. A very great Bermuda and Not h
ern trade is carried on at New bern, which
must" without the Canal?" pass flnotjgh
the Ocracoke Inlet. Vessels drawim a
moderate quantity of water can take in
only a partial loadings nntii ther get over
the Swashes: they then complete their
atgo fiom lighters. The pas-ajre for
fnrhters from New bern. to the Swashes,
is long, and sometimes dangerous ? he
anchorage for the shipping is by no n ean
a safe one. The -Clubfoot Creek emp
ties itself info the. Neuse before that jik
v-er is of sufKcicnt extent to cause any
risk from, the conveyance by lighters"
