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’

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

I P«ksiivti-;ki.\n. Rev. Wm. N. Mebane and Rev.
I George .MeNeill were elected Editors: Rev. Messrs.
(ieorge McNeill, Wm. N. Mebane, -A. Baker, and C.
H. Wiley, and Messrs. George McNeill, Sr., John H.
Coiik and D.ivid Murphy were appointed an Executive
('ommittee, to establish the Paper and manage its
business atl'iirs.
It is our wish and ilesign to make the North C.-vro-
t-iNA Piti;sitvTKiuAN a joumal of the first class, equal
to the best in the country in typographical appear
ance and iu adaptation to the wants of our Churches.
Its columns will afford the latest intelligence, both
foreign and domestic, aud special care will be taken
to give a full and accur.ite summary of State news.
The name of the Paper is designed to be an exponent
of its character and contents. From conviction, it
will advocate the conservative, orthodox, Old School
doctrines aud order of the Church. •
Our first appeal is to our own people—to N. C.
Presbyterians. Whilst we rely confidently upon tl»e
favor, we trust that the native sons of North Carolina
who li.ive found homes in other States, and the adopt-
eil citizens of our State who form so important an
element in our .Ministry and membership, will take a
ileep interest in this enterprise and give it their
hearty support.
Tkr.ms: C2 per annum in advance, or on delivery
of the first number; !*?2 50 in six months; $3 at the
end of the year. To clubs of 25 or more, paying in
advance and when the Paper is sent to one address, a
discount of 10 per cent, will be allowed. Our Minis
ters, and Elders are earnestly desired to act as Agents,
and all others friendly to tiie cause will please assist
ia procuring as many subscribers as possible, and for
ward the names, by Au;/uiit \it, to this Office. As
soon as 1500 subscribers are obtained, the first num
ber will be issued. If a,faithful and vigorous effort
i.' liia le iu the next two -months by those who take a
livtly interest in thiij wdrk, we will, without doubt,
bi- able to begin the publication at the end of that
time with a paying subscription list of at least 3000.
