We have bo often dwelt upon the advan
tages which 'would accure to-our:pepple
from the full development, of .the rresourpes
with 'which Nature has in, such matchless
profusion blessed bur State; that we Some
times fear our monitions may seem state to
our readers, and hinder rather than advance
the cause we have .at .heart Yet, ; . in .our
capacity as a public journal and exponent
f the true interests of . the. people to and,,
.for whom we speak, we deem it our duty,!
'upon I every occasion that .presents,! to re
iterate and insist upon that truth the proper
appreciation -and appropriation of which
we believe of more importance to material
growth than apyV other which ; could be
mentioned : that is to say, that within ; our
own borders and at our very door is stored
every element and substance necessary to
our prosperity as individuals or as a people,4
and that we only need a little confidence in
:ourown ability and in each other in ordet
to see tnat fact demonstrated.
j We were moved to speak of this subject
at present by what we observed yesterday
as one of a party who visited, by special
train ot the Uarouna central Railway, a
tract of land 17 miles from Wilmington on
the line of that road, belonging to Messrs.
Cronly & Morris, of this city.; The party
consisted of Mr. Roberts, the President of
the road, Superintendent Fremont, and a
number of gentlemen interested in tbe road
and in agricultural pursuits,' and the object
.was to make a thorough examination of the
locality t with reference to the extent and
quality of Hie marl deposits there, and the
feasibility of idling the marl to the rail?
road at reasonable e j pease .VsV' .v.. k k k 1,
I A number of places on the tract,1 remote
from each other, were 'visited, and from
the indications, of the outcrop we were'
satisfied that a very, large . portion of . the
whole' is underlaid by a bedof "blackrock?
niarl and a. white shell marl of yet unde-.
termined extent, the whole being from 6 to
13 feet in thickness. The so-called black-
rock has about it nothing of the' nature of
rock being soft and friable and on ex-.
posure to the air it exchanges its blueujh-
black color for a grayish-white,' owing' to
the evaporation of its water. The ' pro
prietors having sent a sample to . the De
partment of Agriculture, at Washington,
an analysis was ordered with the result set
forth in the following letter to the Com
missioner: .,.,.: ;. . :,;,-.;-. .f,v- :f

Hon. Horace Caprem, Commissioner :
Sib I have the honor to report the fol
lowing analysis of a deposit found 17 miles
from Wilmington, N. C.; upon tbe. borders
'of Livingston Creek. Brunswick "county.
The substance examined ' was nodular in
form, possessing a structure somewhat like
tufa, many pieces being tubular witu suells
adhering' upon the inner surface, and "evi-
dentlyhavlnghad ' an"" organic vegetable
core: grayisn-wnite in color, of small spe-
ciflc gravity, and to be considered as con
cretions. A single lump of a different na
ture accompanied these specimens, which
possesses most of tbe characseristics of the
"South Carolina phospbatic deposits," espe
cially in being richer in phosphate of time
than the first-mentioned samples. - It would
be interesting to know if the - laree mass
was obtained from the same formation and
locality as the smaller nodules. The latter
yielded, ia 100 parts: 'a'-, ; V.:,.

From a very cioee inspeaioiv of ins beds
we are inclined to believe that they will not
throughout their entire thickness majntafn
an equal proportion of the salts of lime: but
experience on the growing crops, with' f re
quent analyses, will soon enable the mWt
jto be so taken from the beds as to secure B;
definite composition of high agricultural
Value. ..The sooner to make this ;dc8irable
determination and at the same time ;; bring
the subject to the consideration of the agri-
Cultural fraternity, it has Seen v determined
to make preparations to ship a car-load to
each3 of several principal stations for 'gra
tuitous distribution in time -for' the spring
crops, and the railroad company will , so
reduce the freight as to enable those who
wish to make more extended experiments
td supply themselves, on the'; line . o?- the
road, within 10Q( miles of the pits, at a
uniform price of $5 00 a ton, freight paid.
iFor greatet distances a small advance will
be charged. !--' ' ! . '
We believe that when the farmers , .be
come accustomed to the. use pf marl , and
appreeiatelts valueythai .It will - 'ntnly
secure the profitable working of these pitSy
but of many others in localities scattered
all over the State "which are "now unknown
or untbotugttt Of, and with a resulting Econ
omy in the first cost of , fertilizers and in
increased returns for labor expended which
will be of sjmoet incalculable value , io our

old female bear and three cubs. ; He took
deliberate aim at, a .distance of- seventy
odd yards, fired and brought the mother to
tue ground., ; jLn a few .moments: she arose
and walked rapidly toward, the marksman.
He then gave her! the benefit of the contents
ot the other barrel, ! which again 'stunned
her. i Soon, however, she was up and : beat
a retreat to Cover in good though rapid order,
Seeing the old bear had received aj mortal
wound; Mr; Lee turned his attention to the
cubs; andudrove)two 'of .them, up a free!
Herehej7 joined by yMr. MLee.
Two of the cubs were ' despatched by five
. Joined by Messrs. Moore, Beasley and
Sears and several dogs, pursuit was ' made
pf the bruin 'mother, whose severe wounds
had prevented her from going very far.
Mr. Beasley attempted to shoot, but the
cap failed to explode. . The! bear turned
savagely upon him. and would no doubt
have soon enfolded him, but a well-direct
ed shot brought the ferocious beast to the.
earth, dead, f t. , . - , '
; .The trail of the third cub was soon after
found, chase given and the animal treed J
Three shots put an end to its life; and thus
closed a. bear hunt that occupied in all
about two hours, and resulted in the death
of three of the wild animals which have
greatly annoyed the farmers of . Holly
Township. ; ;i
