GILMORE now offers for sale a portion of his swamp lands in the county of Cumberland about 14 miles below Faj'etteville, and about li miles East of the Cape Fear River. Tlie entire swamp has been suc cessfully drained, of tiie large body of water by which it was heretofore covereil. The land is apparently level, being free from rilges (which are so common to swamp lauds generally,) whilst there is an abundance of fall, by which the rain w^ater can be carried off by ordinary ditches. A small portion of the land has been cultivation about 7 years, and those persons who have seen the crops regard the land as equal in fertility to any they liave seen in this State or elsewhere. The location is healthy, the neighborhood good, and the ac cess to Fayetteville and Wilmington easj- by means of good roal li miles in length leading directly to the river. Besides this, it is within 3 miles of a beautiful little village, upon a high and healtliy Bluff, at the river, with a Store, Ware-house and tirst-rate landing. All which afford many conveniences to the neighbor hood. .\s several persons have spoken of purchasing, this is deemed a proper time to call their attention to the subject, inasmuch as there is a crop now growing upon a small portion of the land, by which they can judge of its production. Reasonable terms will be given to the purchaser. Sept. 10, 1858. 45tf NEW FALL AND WINTER DRY GOODS. ALEX.

HISTORICAL AND CHRONOLOGICAL TABLES. And a variety of Miscellaneous Information and Sta tistics, by C. MM. WMMjEY. V^UMBER 8 is a new and revised edition of the North Carolina Reader, first published in 1851. Numbers 1 and 2 just issued, complete the series, which is, as a whole, cheaper than any other series of Readers in the United States, and as complete. The Editor (Prof. Hubbard) in his Preface to Num ber 1 deems it proper to allude to a few of the peculiar advantages aimed at by the Superintendent of Common Schools while making efforts*to have this work com pleted. These are, 1. The encouragement of a feeling of self-dependence, and the enlistment of popular sentiment in behalf of the State and its institutions. It was not thought important, how’- ever, to have more than one number of the Reader of merely a local interest. 2. To remedy the evil everywhere complained of in com mon schools, of a perpetual change in text books; an expen sive habit, and one which injures the Schools by pre venting the children from being classified. .1 series of home Readers, it was supposed, would be certainly used, and this great evil thus avoided. 3. Economy, the popular system of Readers being too long and being made so often merely to add to the profits of authors and publishers. This series is to consist of fewer numbers than those generally used, and it is believed that these numbers are sutficient, while if the system were universally used in the State, the sum savel to parents and children would amount to several thousand dollars annually. 4. To put in the hands of children learning to read com positions sufficiently familiar but hoi of ihv character called childish compositions, containing, in lessons easy enough for all ages, correct specimens of style, interesting iu matter, and inculcating proper morals, and religious in struction. The prices are, for No. 1, 25 cents; No. 2, 37^ cents and No. 3, 75 cents. A liberal deduction from these prices to Merchants and School Teachers. E. J. HALE & SON.
