R Brink, - of this city, purchased a ' tract of land of abont eight thousand acres of Dr. Wm. R Freeman, situated in New Hanover county and near Leesburg, on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. These lands were purchased with a view to induce immigration to this county, which we so much need to place it at the head of the most prosperous in the State. These lands were surveyed and cut up into small farms of 80 acres each, making one hun dred farms, on which it was proposed to settle one hundred families. : As an induce ment to good men of small -means from other States to locate among us and assist in building up the county and State, Col Brink established agencies in New York, New Jersey and other places, with instruc tions to offer these lands to actual settlers at a Very low figure, with a small advance in cash and six years in which to pay. the .balance. With liberal terms, good lands and considerable labor and expense he has succeeded in disposing of sixty farms, all of which are now or will be settled. Over one hundred persons are already upon these lands as settlers, and, it is expected that at least fifty more will arrive this fall and winter. Some -of the families have been on the premises for two years or more. They are raising good crops, have good health, like the country, and are contented with their change of location. These people are Germans, Eng lish and Americans, tho Germans and. Eng lish having been in the United States a few years. CoL Brink is satisfied that a colony is being established there which will be the means of bringing thousands of people to North Carolina. ' There is not a single man or woman on the place but what has one or more friends they wish to follow them there, and they will come. Many of those now belonging to the colony are selecting farms for their friends. Col. Brink has al ways been opposed to, and says he would never engage in, a scheme to bring immi grants there as mere laborers. They must understand that they are in possession of hnnet that they . are .citizens of the country, ' in order ' to make them good and permanent citizens. A peo ple who are laborers only are always in the market. If an adjoining county or . State offers them better-wages and a more com fortable home they are-coins: there But give a man a home, and he will improve it, make it comfortable and feel that he is a part of the country in which he lives.' This, in CoL Brink's estimation, is the only way to populate the State, and he says he knows of no other plan better calculated to accom plish this, than the one, he hasadopted His colonists are erecting houses, shops, mills, &c.. and will soon have .tne -comforts of a good markets, &c, make it far more desira ble than the far West. Cbl4 Brink deserves much credit for his efforts to induce emi gration to this section of the State, and we hope that his example may tie followed by others who have the means. to carry out a plan similar to his own.

We cannot imagine a more auspicious introduction, barring the small audience present, of Miss'Lillie Eldridge to our pub lic, than that afforded by the performance last evening. ' An excellent play, replete1 with goodf sit uation and admiral stage points, was placed upon the stage in a most effective manner as regards the mire en scene, and was rendered in all its roles with an ability which stamps the company as one of the very best com binations that has visited the South since the war. Of Miss Eldridge, we could be lavish in eulogy and yet do simple justice. She is a charming actress, whose naturalness, naivete and vivacity speedily conquer an audience, and she steadily grows upon the admira tion, until the hearty award of commen dation is spontaneously accorded her. She has a good deal of real power; she is very captivating in her simplicity and natural ness, and her realism gives evidence of close and successful study of her art. ' Her stage presence is very fine, and we know of no actress whose stage dressing is more accurate and tasteful. After the emphatic endorsement' that we have giveE' the company supporting : Miss Eldridge, it is hardly necessary to individ ualize the merit of the several members. Among its members the audience recog nized but one old acquaintance Mr. Ryan, who is an excellent character actor, and who played last night with all the ability and spirit that his part demanded. The ladies of the cast of last evening Misses Monk, Newton and Wallace, are entitled to hearty praise as competent artistes. Mr. Lanedon won great favor with the audi ence. Of the remainder of the company it is sufficient to say that there is not an infe rior actor among them. To-night Knawles' splendid Comedy of "The Hunchback" will be given, cast to the full strength of this .excellent com pany. By all means see this fine performance. The Lata Admiral Wlnslow.

The new car on the Wilmington, Colum bia and Augusta Railroad which carried the excursion party to Flemington yester day is reported to be an elegant one. It was built at the shops of the Company at this place and rates as a first-class passenger coach. The new spring bolster used for the first time on this occasion, and which was patented by Maj. Anderson, the Engi neer and Superintendent, was pronounced a decided success. The workmen at the different car shops here can " put up" as good a job as can be found in the country. This handsome, convenient and durable coach was constructed under the supervision of Capt W. J. Calais, Master Carpenter. The trip up the road was a delightful one, the party returning at 2 o'clock, much pleased with their short but pleasant experi ence in " railroading.' The Firemen Drill.
