Great Sale of Public Lands3
l. ftOISTIl CAKOIJ.A.
fmHE President and Directors of the Literary
II Fund of North Carolina, offer for sale, upwards
of Fifty Thousand Acres
Of Swamp Laud, situate iu Hyde County, in raid
State, embracing the region lying between Albe
marle aud Pamlico Sounds
These Lauds have been drained at grtat expense,
under the directiou of skilful Engineers, by an Act
of the Legislature, and are believed to be now ia a
condition, to be cleared and cultivated.
This drainage has been effected by two main Ca
nale, viz : Pun go Canal, exteiiding from the Lake to
the River, both of that mime, 6J miles iu length,
with an average width at bottom of 22 feet, depth 6
feet, and fall of 12 feet: And, Alligator Canal, from
the Lake of that name, to Puugo River, 6 miles lou,
with an average width at bottom of 3D feet, depth of
7, and fall of 10 feet ; beside, sundry Tributaries,
or lateral Ditches. They are, therefore, navigable
for Balteauz and emptying into Pamlico Sound,
their mouths are accessible to Sea-goiug Vessels.
A large portion of this Land abound iu Juniper,
Cypress, and other valuable Timber, for which the
Forest of Eateru North Carolina is distinguished ;
aud other parts consist of Prairie, covered with Caue
and Bamboo, and in the estimation of the Engineers
L who surveyed it, are of great fertility. It is there
fore confide red to offer peculiar inducements bom to
Grain Farmers, and the getters of Shingles, Staves,
Heading, &C, die, and, with excellent Juniper wa
ter, is thought to be more favorable to health than
most parts of the low country.
To immigrants, now arriving in the Ports of the
United Stales iu unusual uuuibers, especially those
from Holland aud Germany, accustomed to a similar
country iu many respects, these Lauds will afford a
soil as fertile as any iu the North-western States,
with easy access to the Sea, aud the great markets
of the world, for its productions, and within three
days' sail of New York.
A credit of one, two and three years, will be given
to Purchasers, on Bonds with approved security, and
the titles will be warranted ; but deeds will be with
held, uulil the final paymeut of the purchase money.
The President and Directors of the Literary Fund
will attend at tbe Sbautee ou Pungo Canal, on the
2Ulh day of May next, and will offer as much as
5.000 Acre of said Land for sale at Public Auction,
iu Quarter sections of 160 Acres each, on the termf
aforesaid, aud may, if there be sufficient inducement,
continue said sale on the two following days, or un
til the whole body of 50,000 Acres is disposed or.
On the same day, tbe Board will also receive Pro

A New' School for Boys,
IT is designed by the Bishop of the Diocese, to
open a School for Boys in the neighborhood of
Kaleigh. For this purpose, an estate has been pur
chased about 8 mile from the City, wbich, in res
pect to retirement, health fulness, and pleasantness of
situation, is all thai can be desirrd for such an insti
tution. The buildings will accommodate, comfort
ably, thirty boys, which, for the present, must be the
limit of the Sehool It is ueeigned, in this School,
to revive a class, which, unfortunately, has become
almost extinct in our community, namely, the class
of boys. With this iew. pupils will be admitted at
any period of childhood, however early, but not afler
they are 14 ye.irs of age Thy may continue in
the School, ss long, as by their good conduct, they
entitle themselves to in privileges The use of To
bacco in any form, by the boys, will not be allowed.
A siyle of dres. simple and ur.iform, will be pre
scribed. And above all. and this is the great object
of the School, a constant endavor will be made so
to imhue the minds of the children with moral and
religious knowledge, principles, and affections, that
when they really gel to be men, they may be fitted
to discharge the high functions of an American citi
zen, with an eye steadily directed towards their citi
zenship in that ' better country, which is eternal in
the heavens." To this end. ihe Head of the School
