Jan. 16th, 1857. 20-ly V A LI ABLE PLAN TATION AND OTHER LANDS FOR SALE. In accordance with the will of the late Samuel C. Eborn, the Subscribers offer for Sale that Large and Valuable Farm, situated in the lower part of Beaufort Coun ty, on which said deceased lived and died. It is well known as the former residence of Hon. Henry S. Clark, and as one ot the finest Farms in the State. It contains EIGHT HUN DRED ACRES OF LAND. Mve Hunared Acres of which are Cleared and in good farmer-like order. Of the Cleared Land, about One Hundred Acres are what is denominated good Upland, suitable to Cotton, Ground Peas and Cow Peas, Sweet and Irish Potatoes, Turnips and Root Crops in general, Wheat, Oats, Beans, Horticulture and Fruit. The remaining Four Hundred Acres of Cleared Land is rich Swamp Land, well drained, recently cleared, and under a fine state of cultivation. There is no better Corn Land in the State, and it is easily cultivated. We believe that in natural fertility of soil, durability, and in number of bushels of grain produced by the acre, this land will not suffer in comparison with any iu the State. The splendid crop now upon it justi fies, in our opinion, this assertion. The overseer believes that tho present crop of corn on the swamp land will yield, when gathered, from fifteen hundred to two thousand bar rels. Of the Uncleared Land, most of it is rich Swamp, as good as that which is cleared, with a heavy swamp growth upon it, and easily drained. Underlying the whole of this swamp land, cleared as well as uncleared, is a rich Marly Subfoil, giving, as experience on this farm proves, great durability to the land. This land is not liable to fresncts. It is within a mile of Pungo River and Pantigo Creek, and twenty-eight miles from Washington on the main public road leading from that town to Hyde County. Sea vessels load and unload within a mile ot the premises, thus rendering the surplus products of the farm easy of exportation to the best markets of the country. The waters of Pungo and tri butaries yield fish in abundance. It is a first-rate range for stock, especially for hogs and cattle, in winter as well as summer. There is a large, well-built and commodious Two Story HOUSE; Kitchen, SmoKe Houses, large Barn, Carriage House, Crib, Stables. Poultry Houses, good framed Negro Houses, and every other necessary out house. There are Two as good Wells of water as are in that section. The houses have been constructed and the yards and shade trees arranged with good taste and architectural beauty, and the farm is well laid off and presents from the house and to the passer by a most beautiful appearance. This tarin is in a neighborhood of sobriety, hospitality and good morals, and is in the vicinity of four different houses of public worship. As no one will purchase without examination, the overseer on the premises, Mr. Jenkins, will give all the information in his power, and afford every facility for examination to those who may visit the farm. We also offer for Sale Two Hundred and Seventy-Five Acres ol Uncleared Land on Jordan's Creek, in Beaufort Coun ty. This is well Timbered, and a portion of it is good Swamp Land. Also, Thirty-Three and a Third Acres of Laud in Leechvillo District, Beaufort County. Also, One-Fourth part of a Tract of Land, consisting of Four Hundred Acres, on which John B. Eborn, deceased, re sided at his death, situated on tbe North side of Pungo Creek, in Beaufort County, near the mouth of said stream. Wo are authorized to state that the whole tract can be pur chased at a fair price. There is a Farm on this tract and a Dwelling House, and presents superior natural advantages for farming and raising stock. The Title to all this property is undisputed, and can be purchased on easy and liberal terms, 'lhe Mules on tbe Plantation, together with the Hogs, Cattle and Sheep, can be purchased with the farm if desired. 1-or further information, apply cither to R. D. Ebor, North Creek, Beaufort County, or to James Gakkason, Long Creek, New Hanover County. ROBERT D. EBORN, JAMES GARKASON, Executors of Samuel C. Eborn, Dcc'ed.

C, Nov. 24th, 1850. 66-4t 13-tf AER'S CHERRY IJEClORAL. 17OR THE rapid cure of Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, . Bronchitis, V hooping Cough, Astbuia and Consumption, is universally known as the best remedy ever yet discovered lor every variety ot Pulu-onary disease, to wide is the field of its usetulness, and so numerous the cases ot its cures, that almost every section of the country abounds in persons publicly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases ot the lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to em ploy for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pul monary organs which are incident to our climate. By its timely use many, nay, almost all attacks of disease upon the lungs or throat are arrested, and thus aie saved many thou sands every year from a premature grave. No family should be without it, and those who do neglect to provide them selves with a remedy which wards off this dangerous class of diseases will have cause to deplore it when it is too late. Proofs of the surprising efficacy of the Cherry Pectoral need aot be given to tne American people they having living proofs in every neighborhood. But those who wish to read the statements of tuose whose health has been restored, and whose lives have been saved by its use, will find them in my American Almanac, which the agents below named have to furnish gratis to every one.

Last October, a family consisting of a man and wo.nan anil three children, mored from Lancaster to Beaver. Air. F. engaged in the business ofa butcher. He soon chaDgtd his business, and became a dealer in cattle buying stock in Ohio and selling them in Aileghany catile market. A few weeks ago, a young m .n came from Lancaster on a visit to these strang ers. His visit was nol so agreeable to Mr. F. as To his " better half." To the great relief of the perplex ed butcher, his visitor finally Jeft, saying thai he was going back to Lancaster, and Mr. F. started on an other trip io Ohio. On the day he left, his " good wile " rei oried io her nearest neigbboib that Bhe had received a etter from her father, (who lives io York county,) telling her that her mother was evidently near her last, aai that a very few days would pro bably afford lhe only opportunity she Bhouid have of seeing her mother alive. Her husband, was absent, aud w hat should she do ? She s rongly desired to see her m ther once more, and she it-solved lo start on the next morning. IVeigbbors sympathized with her, and reaiaiked that she sustained herself well amid her trou bles. All ibis time Henry, the recent vi.itor, was board ing at a hotel in Bridewater, and had been making queer developments io friends whose acquaintance he had formed. He assured them tt,e Dutch butcheV and the womau were not married, and that he was oniy waiting to take advantage of his next trip to Ohio io "go off' with Eliza. The next morning they started. We leave them on tbeir winding way, while we louk afier Mr. F. On last Wednesday he returced to find his house deserted everything gone, ai.d "himself minus $850, which he had left in care' of her who had now forsaken him. He then con fessed that he had never been married to her. He stated that he had a wife living in York county, in the immediate neighborhood of Eliza's father that he had not lived with her for several years. Eliza, he eaid, uad beeu marritd and moved to Lancaster, and, after the death of .ier husband, lived there uniil they agreed to "join hands" ou their own hook, and move to the West. He ascertained, at Rochester, that their goods had been shipped to Chicago tbe day befoie his return. He took the next train for Chica go in pursuit ol the fugitives. Is thlre a Maelstrom ? This question is thus answered by a cotemporary : Hifery school-boy ot the last century has been taught to believe that there .8 a wonderiul vortex on the coast of Morwav. with an eddv diameter, and that ships, and even huce whales. were sometimes draesed within us terrihln linni.i coils, and lorever in ocean's awful depths.' A cor respondent of the Scientific American says : ''lhav e been in formed by a European acquain tance that tne maelstrom has no existence. A nau tical aud scientific commission went out ana sailed all around and all over where the maelstrom was said to be, but could not find it : the tip a a'9d an smooth wheie the whiiipool ought to be as any other t i ui me German ocean.' " Ue presume the above is rnmun tu geographers an J gazetters barely allude to the mat I-, trnm. I mlin I l,Z ! . . ... ...WiJJ , ulo 1BIge aiiaSf glvei tne site up on his map. but does not allude to it in bis descrip tion of Norway. Harper's Gazetteer, in its article on Norway, says that, ' among the numerous islands on the west coast there are violent and irregular cur rente, which render the coast navigation dangerous. Among these is the celebrated Mai-Strom, or Mes-kenaes-Strom, the danger from which has been great iy exaggerated since it can, at nearly all times, be passed over even by boats.' The romance of the maelstrom has bean pretty effectually destroyed." Tfae Cotton Tradt of the World. Some time since a gentleman named De unison rerd a paper on tbe cotton trade before tbe British Associa tion for tbe advancement of science. The Hon. J. F. H. Claiborne, of Mississippi, wrote to Mr. Dallas, our Minister to England, and asked him, if possible, to obtain a copy for publication. The request was promptly complied with, and the document is given at length in a recent number of the New Orleans Delta. The writer endeavors to substantiate these propositions : " I. That in the present state of the commercial relations ot the two countries the cotton planters of the United States are interested to the extent of about two-thirds of their exportable produce in the main tenance of the cotton manufacture of the United King dom ; and II. That, reciprocally, the cotton manufactures of the United Kingdom, and through them the entire population of the Kingdom, are interestsd to the ex tent of about four fifths of tbe raw material ot that manufacture in the existing arrangements for main taining the cotton cultuie of the United States " These conclusions are based upon the following: 1. That cotton must be grown almost entirely out of Europe and manufactured chiefly in Europe, and in Europe chiefly in Great Britain. 2. That cotton has hitherto been grown, and, as far as yet appears, must continue to be, chiefly by slave labor. 3. That for the last fifty years Great Britain, seek ing her supply of cotton all over ihe earth, with a preference during a great part of that period for the produce of free labor, has yet received during the whole of that period, and continues to receive, all the cotton she imports of the better qualities, and by far the greater part of all sbe imports, in bulk as well as in value, from countries in which it is grown by slave labor. 4. That cotton is grown in the United States exclu sively by slave labor. 5. 1 hat two thirds at least of the slave population of the United States is employed in raising cotton for exportation. 6. That of the cotton thus raised fer exportation about two-thirds in quantity, and more than two thirds in value, is raised expressly for the British market, and is regularly imported into and manufac tured in the United Kingdom. 7. That of the entire quantity of cotton imported into and manufactured in the United Kingdom, near ly four-fifihs in quantity and much more than four- fifths in value is, on an average of years, obtained from the United States." Various facts and figures are given to sustain the foregoing, and it is stated that in 1787 there were imported into Great Britain 22,600,000 pounds of cotton, obtained from the following sources : British West Indies, 6,600,000 French and Spanish Colonies, 6,000,000 Dutch Colonies, 1,700,000 Portugese Colonies, 2,500,000 East India, procured from Ostend, 100,000 Smyrna or Turkey, 5,700,000 None from the United States. In the three years of 1824, 1825, and 1826 Great Britain imported an average of"l89,595,000 pounds, and this quantity was obtained from the following sources, the imports of the three years being reduced to a similar average of each country : United States of Ameiica, 121,318,000 Brazil, 21,600,000 East Indies, 17,184,000 Turkey and Egypt, 12,229,000 West Indies, 6,408;000 All other countries, 10,000,000 In the three years of 1853, 185 J, and 1855 the to tal quantity imported into Great Britain reached an average of 891,454,000 pounds, obtained from the following sources : The United States, 687,410,000 Brazil, ' 22,824,000 The Mediterranean, 28,253,000 East Indies, 148,954,000 West Indies, 409,000 Other countries 3,602,000 Thus, in 1787, the British imported no cotton whatever from the United States, whi.'o in 1824, 1825, and 1826 they imported 64 per oent of all they used from thia'country, and in 1853, 1854, and 1855 they imported 77 per cent. It is therefore in ferred that the United States possess advantages in the culture and exportation of this article, which place them in this respect far ahead of all competi tors. In relation to the manufacture of cotton Great Britain occupies the foreground. Mr. D. argues the case thus : 'f I . t meoniy country in n,u- pe wnicn can in any sense, be said to compete wu;i our own iu tho supply of the exlra European demaiu for cotton goods is France. And when the character and extent of this branch of the French export trade is described it will be seen that cur roost formiJable rival is not to bo dreaded, though she undoubtedly offers us something to learn. " The year 1853 was a favtrahle one for the French. The French official accounts for that year show that the quantity cf raw cotton imported and retained for home consumption was 7,092,000 killogrammes, or about 165,000,000 pounds, valued at 125,000,000 francs. The average quantity imported in the five years, l848-'52, had been about 132 millions of pounds. There was. also cotton yam imported for French consumption, in 1853, to ihe value of 1,400, 000 francs, which wa-i not far from double the quan tity imported on an average of the five years, 1 848 '52. Here, however, we observe a rate of progres sion scarcely gieater than might safely be relerred to the increasing wants of the home customers j while the increasing importation of yarn,seems to indicate a failure of competitive power in the fiist process of the manufacture. Nor does an examination of the export trade lead to a different confllusion. In 1853 ihe cotton manu factures ol French production exported frtun France were valued at 71,900,000 francs, (2,876,000.) This showed a slight, but only a slight increase, as compared with the average ot l848-'52. The cot ton yarn exported wat valued at 866,000 francs, (54,640.) But before these figures are passed, as mat king the extent of the export trade, there are one or two allowances to be made. The raw cotton was burdened with an import duty, aud a bounty was al io ved on the exportation ot manufactured goods. Cite precise effect of tbe couuterpoise can only be estimated somewhat regularly. lhe French taiiff in 1853 imposed five different rales ot duty on raw ooiton imported in French ves sels, according to where it cauie from ; and three other rates ot duty, similarly distinguished, on eV. lon imported in foreign vessels. The duty most ex tensively operative that on American cotton enter ing in French bottoms was 20 francs per 100 kilo grammes, or about sixteen hil ings per 230 pounds. And as the whole quantity imported ($75,091,009 kilogramme-) yielded to the tevenue 17,276,000 francs, giving an average of 22,23 francs per lOO kilogrammes, it is probable that hy tar the greater part of what was imported actually paid this rale of duty. l he bounty on exportation was zo trancs pet 1UU kilogrammes of manufactures or yarn. It was al lowed in 1852 on 6,117,864 kilogrammes of manu facture and cm 198,604 kilogrammes of yarn. This, with a moderate allowance for waste of tbe raw ma terial", though call bounty, could in effect have been little, if at all, more than a drawback of the import uuty. It would seem that the French exports in this kind are not more than a tenth in value of our own. And where were they sent, and why 1 The largest cus tomer for these French manufacturers (taking two parts in seven of the whole value) was Algeria ; but Algerian consumption may be deemed practically French consumption. The two customers next on the list, when arranged in order of magnitude, are the United States and and the United Kingdom. Tbcae took between them two other, seventh parts of I lhe whole. And the goods aold. in xU jbngiiia ana American starlets are well known to owe their pe culiar value rather to the designer and the dyer than to the spinner and weaver. Their consumption does not admit of any very rapid or wide increase. French taste and French chemistry have deservedly won for the French textile fabrics, whenever they are applicable, a superiority as well known as it is incontestible. But this has little effect in determiri inff the locality of the cotton manufacture of the whole. With a few trifling exceptions, of which cot ton lace imported from Belgium is the only one worthy of notice, no cotton foreign manufactures were in 1853 admitted to French consumption. Whence tbe inference, not without consequence, that of all the nations of Europe our own is, apart frnm all artificial restrictions, the best fitted for SO carrvine on the manufacturing of cotton as to supply tne wona-wiue use it nas now auaiueu ; nuu mai the freer the trade the more sure it is to fall into our hands, and the better, tho cheaper, and the more abundant will be the supply to all."

Speaking of the success of Maretzek's troupe at Ha vana, the writer says : Brignoli, too, has done wonders. Think of it, Brignoli, the insouciant, has been found to sing as he can sing well. He really exerted himself, stop ped flirting and took to study, par consequence, he has learned two good things, how to study an J to behave himself. On his first appearance before the discriminating Creole and Spanish audience ol Havana in the role of Edgardo, he sang no better than ho would have done on the stage of the Academy of Music. What was the consequence 1 No expression of disappro bation was given, for a hiss is mauvaise ton in Ha vana, but, one by one, the Spaniard and Cuban, left the theatre, until, in the last thrilling scene, Brignoli found he had to sing to empty boxes. Annoyed and mortified at such an exhibition of want of apprecia tion, lie flew to a sympathizing friend for an expla nation. It was given in four worda : " Mon ami, you sing false you have no heart in your notes you do not exert yourself you are pas sionless, and my compatriots do not pardon such faults a second time." " Mais, ce n'pas ma faute La Grpnge she is cold she freezes me. I cannot sing with her she is not passionee." ' Ah ! ce bien nous vcrrons." And the sym pathizing friend seeks La Grange. She advises her of Brignoli's complaint of bet, which caused the fair cantatrice much amusement. She determines to be very ardent the following evening, to prove to Brig noli that his bad singing was not to be laid to her charge. Brignoli meantime had arrived at a similar conclusion. It is needless to tell how well Somnambu la was given that night, when the tenor and prima donna were striving to rival each other, both in voice and spiiit. There were no empty benches that night and the stage was completely carpeted with flowers, while the theatre rang again with the repeated bravos. The Population of France. Wo will examine the gene ral results of the census returns of tha population, operated in 1856, and will endeavor to extract .some useful information from the details which are afforded by the official table. The returns show that France possessed in 1856, 30,039,364 in habitants, while in 1852, the number was 35,781,628. They consequently represent an increase of 237,736 inhabitants during the last five years. Tho increaso is inconsiderable, but it must bo remarked that it has been obstructed by three causes by the war, which, accordiog to tho report of Mar- , i i i mr rfn . V il. . saal vuiant, aeprivea us oi u,uuu men j uj uiu new invasion of cholera, which decimate a portion of the population ; final ly, by the continued dearness of provisions, wliich has like wise exercised its unfavorable influence Vc do not allude to the deficit produced by emigration. It must be moreover re marked that the collection of census returns encounters severe difficulties in consequence of the multiplicity of tbe ineanB of locomotion. The extension of the railroad system and tho grand public works in course of construction produce a perpet ual movement of workmen and of the population, and it is consequently, difficult to ascertain the real number of inhabi tants in each locality A portion ot the floating population escapes from tho returns and produces omission which have affected the results of the lists of 1S55. In othet time3 tho inciease of tho population was considered as an augmentation of force and power. On the contary, certain oconomists in our days have regarded this increase as a cause of weakness and misery. Between these opposite views where lies tho truth 1 The practical truth is this, tho increase of population is only a source of strength and power as long as agricultural and industrial produce increase ia a still high proportion. Mow this effect manifests itself in our civilized society in a man ner almost natural, and independent of H theory. The plomont vihlfh ontribut to to the increase of popu lation in France are not produced hy the augmentation of births. On tho contrary, the statistical returns prove i hat in France, as in other civilized countries, the number of births relative to the population tends to diminsh. It is the dimu nition of mortality, which was one in every 25 inhabitants in 1772, was only one in every 44 in the year 1814. It therefor ensues that mortality has diminished to the extent of three quarters in the space of 72 years. Certainly an increaso of population obtained on such conditions is an increase of wealth and force. It annnounces to the individual a hap pier destiny, since he has prolonged his existence, thanks to the material and intellectual progress introduced by civiliza tion. In a state point of v iew this result is no les? satisfac tory, since a greater number of men attain the plenitudo of physical and moral devlopment, and society becomes compos ed of a more virile, powerful and intelligent population. Conitulituiiynnel. J ustice Where it is Needed.
