Oct’r 13. 61-lm North Carolina Rail Road, from Carolina City, to Cioldsboniugh, will be opened by the 1st January next; the North (’urtilina Rail Road is in operation to the town of SaM.sbiiry. from whicli point the construction I'l the gro.it >Vostern R.iil Road, through tlie moun tains to the Tenn«;stfi'e line, is steadily progressing. The Rail licad through Fayetteville to tiie Coal Fields has tor some time occupied the a;tention of the State, and doubtless will eventually be put in operation,— that part between Fayetteville and the Coal Fields be ing in ra|>id course of construction. The completion ot ihes(^ great Rail iloaJs will c.in-y the agricultural and mii.eral products of the State to one of the linest harbor? on the Southern coast, and must at an early day build up on its w.iifjs a rio\aisliing Citj-. All ilie agrit iiltiir.il regions ;d‘ the State, not pene trated by said Rail Roads, have easy communication with Reaufort Harbor by navigable Rivers and Sounds. Of the Harbor ol i eaulort, we believe it to be un- ficces.'ary now to ,spt:ak; the depth of its waters, its- I'roximity to the Oiili'Stream, (the highway of siiips.; and its capacity for all commercial purposes, are not ou’y well Known to every North Carolinian, but have attracted the attention of the country generally. The Carolina City Company believe that the advan tages of the location which they have selected are many: their land is a high .ind level plain, looking southward upon the ocean; its wells and springs afford the j)urest waters, and the salul)rity of the climate is so well known, that L’.eaufurt is believed to be the most healthy watering place on the Southern coast. -\t this location, the channel for ships bend# in near tf* the shore and runs parallel with it along the whole trout ol the City, making the construction of wharves cheap and easy. Tiio harbor and wharves at (’arolina City, being a short distance from the contlux of Rogue Sound aud Newport River, and not immediately in front of the Inlet, arc unexposed to the violent storms, and yet a ship may set sail from the Rail Road wharf in Carolina ('ity and in thirty minutes be at sea. These are some ot thu advantages which determined the selection of the location of Carolina City; and so great a confidence had the Company in the superiority of these advantages, /fm' (heii anti paid in thuiii’iind Ihillun to the Ciipitul Slock vf the Atla/itic and ^orth CuroUiia Kiitl Hoad ComjHtnt/, which nas the oiili/ fub^cn^'uon made upnii the faith of reah'slati’ on Beaufort Harbor.

P RO«PE€TUS OF THE NORTH CAROLINA PRESBYTERIAN. / 3111E Presbyterian Church in North Carolina has i long labored under a serious disadvantage from the want ot a journal to advocate her claims and rep resent her interests. It is estimated that only 1000 Presbyterian Weeklies are taken in the bounds of our three Presbyteries. We have 13,000 Communicants, and it is safe to infer that there are 30,000 Presbyte rians in ]>rijciple in the State. Our Synod stands fifth in the Union in point of numbers, and her mem bership is greater than that of any Synod South or West of Pennsylvania. Our sister States on the North anl South, neither of which has a membership so large as ours, publish the Central, and the Southern Presbyterian, for the benefit of their people. The time has Come when the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina should likewise do her duty to her children. _ _ It is a conceded an«l important fact, that hundreds of -\nd a good assortment of COMMON LltjUc >RS always i our members will take a State paper who will take no on hand and for sale by W- H.
