'Messrs. Edwinl Kidder and others:
Gentlemen:--About the 10th ot
November, in company with Major
Wilton L. Young, I set a out to make
.ireeonuoissauce of the valley of the
North last river, preparatory, as I un
derstand, to locating a canal for short
ening distances, improving the navlga
tion, an d draihining the ewamp lands
falong and contiguous to the river; algo
for the; further purpose of collecting all
tlie information I could as to the char-
' ncter of the country and its resources.
r It u V . v .Lik,i or later this canal surely will be con
order to being better understood, r:l.L:.il Lu .ni
I found it necessary. to prepare
in connection with this report.
" The map has beeu (carefully drawn,
and in founded on the best, information
that could be obtained without an' actu;
al survey.
The location of the river has been
determined, geuerally, by certain known
directions and distanpes between places
.'on the river and Railroad. . The mean

This route is taken only as a simple;
others may be selected equally practi
cable, and perhaps more so, when
test
of instruments .is applied. It ar
peara that, in reality, there is sot much
room for a display of great skill in en
gineering. Almost any old woman can
do the engineering. ' ' '
i THE SWAMP IASDS t
to be affected by the drainage are ex
tensive,' and most of them very' rich.
Tii is will -also" appear by an inspection
of the map. I heard the remark re
peated several times, by '.intelligent men
in Duplin county, that the drainage of
of all the swamps"iii "the county would
be benefitted by the canal, except two
small streams west ot the railroad
Stewart's creek and Turkey creek. ; I
found the swamps more extensive and
much richer than I expected.; I have
never seen better lands than thos of
Gum Swamp and Goshen Swamp' not
to mention other bodies equally good,
jn aounaance 01 marl Is ccnerallv
found underlayidg or cohUguous to the
swamps; The growth isr principally
black gum, sweet gum, cypress acd ash,
much .. of the cypress being very fine.
I estimate that if the rich swamp lands
of Duplin county were laid down in
. -. . i J ' f i
one body, theyj would constitute a belt
of swamp one mile wide by seventy
miles long. If the growth of timber could
be separated and laid down in different
bodies, I think it would average nearly
as follows: cypress would occupy about
15 miles of the belt, black gum about
me same, sweet gum about o miles, ash
about -5 miles, poplar about 2 miles,
maple v 2, miles, spruce : pine 2 ' miles,
hickory 2 miles, birch 1 mile, and holly
1 mile. The, map will show where
bodies of timber may be found.
;' THE UPIiANDS
have generally! a clay subsoil, I think
it woiild be safe to, say that two-thirds
of the land in Duplin county ha? a
clay Bubsoil. Most of this land produ
cqs gopd c'ropsj and is admirably, adapt--
ed'to improvement, and with the vast
amount of muck and marl interspersed
thoughout tlie country, almost every
foot of this land may be made rich.
What; a' tidal wave of prosperity awaits
Duplin county when her swamps can
rbe reclaimed, and her people become
fully awake to the wonderful agricul
tural advantages that surround them!
When. the Duplin Canal is construct
ed and it can only be a question of
time when this shall be done, for sooner
structed Wilmington will be. greatly
benefitted by it. This is no doubtful
enterprise for Wilmington. It will not
turn the products of the country away
from her, as soie others haye done, but
as sure as water runs down stream, it
will pour them iuto her lap. " Cast your
eye over the map and note the green
chain marked 'Trade Line' bee what
a scope of country it embraces. It
sweeps along in 15 miles of Goldsboro,
in 12 miles of Kiuston, and in 25 miles
New Berne. What a splendid country
this is. This line vmarks out the sec-
tion of - country that is likely, to trade
with L Wilmington, when ithe puplin
Canal is pompletcd. Along the route
of tbb caual will be foufid,- in Pender
county, also, large bodies of excellent
land. I:'-. . : ': -.r :: l w"-'
We come now o speak of
"TUE PISES! THE STATELY TOWERING
PINE!"" .
llow shall speak of them in terms
sufficiently laudatory! They haye been
tho. mainstay of the people of all this
rpoion for over a hundred years," and
are still profitable. . Jam told tha tur
pentihe land?. WoT&e4 before the Jlevo
lutionary war,. still continue to yield
profitable crops. By the time one
growth of pines is worked off, another
spfiDgs lip. So that ftr the, production
of lupehtine, the forests are not likely
to be exhausted. But it is not so for

very fine. Vast quantities of light-,
wood, suitable for the manufacture of

Friends, Member ( ejiks, AurM ' (hfolinn
With a heart of gratitude and of pro
found appreciation - of the' hdnorisoh-
ferred upon' me, I present to the 5th
Battalion North Carolina State Guards
in behalf of the ladie of Wilmington;
of this naff, your
give expression of
that our noble Gov-
i equal recoarnition
with our State militia and Has i accorded
higher and; ; hieher ii '. tie ' Military
honors of your State. May you show
both to the State and nation thit 'you
are worthy of these privileges and pro
motions, and ere j long may you demon
strate to the world that in the manual
of arms you are inferior to none, and
should you be called upon to stand for
the rights of your State and country,
may you be ready to honor the call,
that the flag presented you this day be
not dishonored And shonld it ever be
yours to follow the lead of this proud
emblem off your country let it never
trail, but true to your manhood, valor
and the God of battles,' may right 'and
victory crown your labors."
. Accept this flag, and . may you ever
care for, and protect it,.from the insults
of enemies abroad or foes, at home, and
may God aid and sustain you in the
grand endeavor ;
The flag was received, by the Lieu
tenant-Colopal of the battalion, Geo.
L. Mabson who acknowledged its re
ception as follows :
Miss Fanni , ladies end Gentlemen :
For me to accept, in behalf of my
command this beautifuljemblem.is both
pleasing anjl gratifying. Not alone be
cause of its intrinsic value or thegrandeur
of its appearance; but also because of
its deeper apd greater sigmficance, rep
rcjenting ai it does our proud old
State; (one of the first irr our' glorious
union) with all of its citizans Ifree and
disenthralled. But my friends, this is
not the first colored battalion in this
union of States that lias had the honor
to have confided to its care and keep
ing an emblem suoh aaf this. During
the late unhappy butj gigantic struggle
between! the States, -when section was
arrayed against section,, and when the
nation's truest and best were giving
their life's, blood for the perpetuation
or this grand union of .States, colored
battalions ?ereseen where theclashing
bf arms wrefe heaviest, and the roaring
of artiljeryfthe loudest, with the ensign
that had been entrusted to their keep
ing, proudly waving and being gallant
ly defehded.because like this of ours, it
ever reminded them of their dear na
tive State,! and of their loved, ones at
home. While as to the valor "displayed
by them when called upon to protect
and defend the living principles of
their State land country, much can and
will be said though the blind historian
will not : yet look , from behind the
screen of his prejudice to see it. That,
no men displayed more fidelity and
courage, j that none have yet trod this
grand earth to prove by acts or wordsa
higher or nobler devotion to National
or State pride and honor will not, can-
l 1 j i t ...

noblest and best of our color eleeo the
sleep that, knows no awakening, in

- Permit! hie Miss Sampson, to return

whose representative you are to-day,on
behalf not only of my battalion,; but of
its friends our heartfelt and sincere
thanks, for this evidence of your confi

bear away jthis flag from your presence,
rest assured no act of ours shall cause
you to regret'having bestowed it upon
us, neither; shall shall we lorget your
admonidon to guard, honor and protect

And now, Sercreant, into your hands
