THE NORTH CAROLLXA STATIST AND
MAGAZINE OF USEFUL LNFORMATION.
/HIHE undersigned proposes to Publish in the City
A of Raleigh, a semi-annual JOURN.AL, of the above
title, devoted exclusively to the dissemination ofSTA-
T 1ST IC .V L IN FOR M AT ION.
The want of such a Journal is felt by every intelli
gent citizen, who desires to become at all acquainted
with the resources of the State, our present condition,
future prospects, ^c., and by none so much as by our
Legislators.
That we have no regular system of statistics, cannot
be a.tributed to any want of material There are
large iimounts of valuable and interesting information
scattered through our Legislative and Executive Docu
ments and Records, which, in their present situation,
for all practical purposes, might as well be in the Chi
nese language. Besides what our Legislative archives
contain, our newspapers often publisli valuable statis
tical information, which is either lost, or if preserved
by a very few, is so inconvenient to find when wanted,
that the facts are soon forgotten. The same may be
said of the Reports and Statements from time to time
made by our incorporated companies, and others en
gaged in Manul’actures, Mines, Commerce, &c.
To collect these various items of information, and
give them to the public in a shape easy of reference
and for perpetual preservation, as well ns to gather
from all available resources, everything bearing di
rectly or indirectly on our wealth, prosperity and in
dustry, is the design of the JOURNAL now offered for
public patronage.
So far as the plan for conducting the same h:i§ been
matured, the pages of the STATIST will be devoted
to the arrangement of such tables relating to our
POPULATION, .AGRICULTURE, COM.MERCE, EDU
CAllON, PUBLIC l.MPROTEMENTS, .MANUFAC-
TURLS, FISHERIES, .MINES, and Social Statistics
generally, as will present their condition, and our pro
gress in each.
It is also designed to contain the Reports {condensed)
ot the Public Treasurer, Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund, Superintendent of Common Schools, and all
other State Officers and Boards; as also. Statements
and Reports of the condition and progress of the vari
ous Railroad and Navigation Companies.
The ST.ATIST will be put to press as soon as a suffi
cient number of responsible names are obtained to pay
the expenses of publication. The numbers will contain
each, not less than 150 P.AGES of closely printed mat
ter, making a book of 300 P.AGE.*', or more, to which
will be addttd a full and complete index.
TER.MS:—THREE DOLL.VRS PER .ANNU.M—ONE
DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS, for SIX MONTHS;
IHii/aUe u-ht-n the first number is ready for puhlication,
ti'htch fact will be dull/ announced in the jniblic neu'spapers.
fi^^Those persons intending to patronize the Jour
nal, will send their names to the undersigned without
delay, as it is detiirable to issue the first number as
soon as possible.

Connecticut in 1819, with a perpetual charter. Its

iiishes reliable data, and presents a sound, substantial
basis of actual experience, upon which to conduct its
business. Insurance is not a matter of luck or chance,
as many suppose; its hazards are ascertainable, and
its principles capable of being reduced to a system, the
practical working and results of which are as certain
as that of any other business. The vEtna Company,
by adhering rigidly to its system, and placing its busi
ness upon a healthy basis, has obtained the confideuce
of the community to an extent surpassed by no other
Company in the U. States, and has increased its busi
ness and its income from year to year with a steady
growth. One great source of its security is the wide
distribution of its risks—a policy which it pursues
with great strictness—limiting the amount to be cov
ered in each locality. By this course it has passed,
with comparative impunity, through some ol the most
sweeping and destructive fires, which have swallowed up
other companies less cautious in their business. It is
a system like this, bused upon experience, which gives
stability an J soundness to a company, and to the as
sured confidence and eecurity.—Baltimore Patriot.
