We' are happy in having it in our power to state
tlmt the Post 'Master General has caused such im
provements to be enected on the entire line ; between
Baltimore and Charleston, as. will give to our North
ern and Southern Mails, a despatch hitherto unpre
cedented. J The annexed letter from Mr. Brown, the
able and indefatigable Agent to whom the details of
this important route nave been conhded by the Post
Office Department, is highly satisfactory to the citi
zens of Newbern, and cannot be otherwise to any
portion of the community embraced in the schedule
We certainly cannot cfesire a better arrangement :
and if it shall be faithfully observed by those entrusted

prevailed on to undertake. -Hitherto, the seaboard
of this State did not receive from the Department
t he-attention to which it was entitled ; and while ara
pl& provision was made to facilitate the mails in every
other direction, no correspondipg improvement reached
us. Influenced by more enlarged and liberal views, the
present vigilant head of the Department gives to
each section the consideration which it demands, and
extends to all, with an impartial hand, the patronage
which it is his province to dispense.
Smithville, N. C. 12th July, 1831.
Thomas Watson, Esq. P. M. j ,
Slr, -It ihas been an object of much solicitude with
the Post Master General, to extend to the citizens,
both of Newbern and of the whole seaboard of North
Carolina, all passible facilities for that prompt and fre
quent intercourse with other-parts of the Union which
Their local situation demands. It was obvious to him,
that a connected line of post coaches and steam boats
lrom Baltimore by INorfoJk,; Elizabeth City, Edenton,
Plymouth, Washington, Newbern, Wilmington and
Georgetown to narieston, naving a proper connexion
at Norfolk with the line from that pkice by Tarborough
and Fayetteville to New Orleans: and at Washington
City with the mail from Richmond and Petersburg
by Halifax, TaTborougn and Washington to New
bern, so as to make that part of the last mentioned
route which lies between Washington City and New
bern a part of the contemplated line ; and the route
between Georgetown and Charleston, common to both
the contemplated line and the line from Fayetteville
to Charleston, would effect the object.
There was already in. operation, a steam boat mail
three times a week between Baltimore and Norfolk; a
line of four horse post coaches three, times a week be
tvreen Norfolk and Elizabeth City, 45 miles : a two
horse stage twice a week between Elizabeth City and
Edenton, 33 miles ; a mail once a week, in an open
boat -and on horseback, between Edenton and Wash
ington, 47 miles ; a two horse stage three timesa week
between Tarborough and Newbern, 85 miles ; a horse
mail, meandering by the different offices, once a week,
between Newbern 'and Wilmington, 94 miles direct ;
a horse marl twice a week, between Wilmington and
Smithville, 29 miles, leaving the distance of 107
miles, from Smithville to Georgetown, without any
mail connexion. '
In renewing the contracts to commence with the
current year, provision was made for extending the
line of coaches three times a week from Elizabeth City
to Edenton, and for two horse; stages twice a week
between Plymouth and Washington, between New
bern and Wilmington, and between Smithville. and
Georgetown ; and for a steam boat mail twice a week
between Wilmington and Smithville. This was re
garded rather as an experiment. The distances, and
the character of the roads where stages had not been
run, must be ascertained before the line could be per
fected : and the different reports made to the Depart
ment on these points, were so contradictory, as to ren
der every tiling uncertain even the practicability of
establishing thej line with any benefit to the country.
The experiment, however, has established the fact,
both; of ita practicability and its utility ; and the Post
Master General has determined to improve it. By
his direction, I have traversed the route as far as this
place, and have obtained satisfactory information of
the "remainder. Arrangements are now made, in
conformity with the instructions of the Post Master
General, and which I have no doubt will therefore
receive his sanction. I. .
1st. For establishing a steamboat mail from Eden
ton across Albemarle Sound into the mouth of Roanoke
River, 22 (miles, to Plymouth, three times a week.
This will secure both the mail and the passenger
from the weather, and render this part of the line as
certain and as agreeable as any other part. The
steam boat will be in operation by the first of October
next. v . :
' 2d. For so expediting the mail on that part of the
line, as to arrive at Plymouth, 100 miles from Nor
folk, on the night of the same day on which it leaves
Norfolk. This will secure its arrival at Newbern by
4 oJclock in thef afternoon, and so give the citizens of
Newbern the opportunity of answering letters from
the North by return of mail. It will also so expedite
its arrival at Wilmington and its return from Wil
mington, as to give the citizens of Newbern from 2 to
6 P, M. for answering by return of mail, all letters
from the South ; and give to the citizens of Wilming
ton the same time for answering letters from the
North. .
3d. For a more powerful engine to the steam boat
between Wilmington and Smithville, and to perform
three trips a week, so as to give the greatest certainty
and regularity to this part of the line.
4th.'For t.he.eskhhmentof a line of four horse
post coaches three times a week between Smithville
and Georgetown,' where it Will connect with the main
daily line to Charleston. This, with the improve
ments already directed, will complete the' tri-weekly
line of four hors post coaches on the whole road be
tween Norfolk land Charleston. The four- horse
coaches cannot be procured bo 'as to get them in com
plete)peratipn between Smithville and Georgetown,
ociore the let of October next In the mean time, the
week.: and
perform the trip each way in 35 hourk;
The tallowing sCriedule will govern the whole line

the Post Office Department,
We this week present our readers with the com-
mencement of M"r. Webster's celebrated anti-tariff
speech, delivered in 1824. The arguments then used
by the honorable member perfectly accord with the
two horse stages will run three times a
doctrines now held by the friends of free trade; and lTrf vjEi HTWekcL- W'
although Mr. W. subsequently, found it convenient thought, show it to have one meaning only ; but that The Students were particularly examined in Geo

Had tliey embraced the burthens imposed by the act
of 1828, Mr. Webster's opposition to the measure
would have been still more indigm
5 indignant. His antipathy
to this species oi taxation was, however, of short du-
.
ration.
Returning to his constituents, he found them
rpiniPITlrf in their otitic irwtmnn .4 4-.: 1
. ... .. . i
and, in order we presume to secure their future sup
port, his opposition was at once withdrawn and a new
current given to his feelings and conduct. We hear
no more of the " axioms", so near his heart in 1824.
Regardless of public opinion, if not of the suggestions

system, which he continues strenuously to support-
Compare this dereliction of principle with the just and
lofty sentiments of the speech, and what a lamentable

Boston is denounced in the Southern papers as the

A more contemptible scrap than the above, which
wecopy from the Boston Daily Advertiser of the 2d
inst has seldom fallen in our way. It breathes the
very spirit of which Carolinians complain. The
South does say, and she says truly, that those persons
are not her friends, who advocate a system of unequal
taxation for the sake of cherishing Northern Manu
factures. Corning as it does from a quarter which is

in which the Advertiser boasts of the aid which the
people of Fayetteville received from those of Boston.

VALUABLE PROPERTY FOR SALE-
PTHHE subscriber intending to remove from
LL the State,' will sell at Public Auction.
at Beaufort, Carteret county, on the 29th day
of August next, (being' the sitting of the Supe
rior Court,) his present residence, a few hun
dred yards to the eastward of the Town, con
taining 40 acres of partly hammock land, tFith
a growth of hickory, holly, live-oak, dec ; on
which is a comfortable Dwelling House of two
"cijjm, wim eigne nnisnea rooms, ex;
elusive of the garret) and the usual out houses.
1 ne (situation is considered one of the most de
sirable and pleasant in the county ; it is imme
diately open to, and about two miles distant
from the ocean, and is not surpassed in point
of health by any residence on the southern
seaboard. Among other advantages, it affords
a very superior Spring of water.
ALSO, WILL BE SOLD,
Seven vacant lots of ground in the town, lo
cated in high and airy situations ; two tracts of
land of a superior quality,4 situated on North
River, one containing 80 acres and the other a-
bout 150 acres through which. it is thought;
the expected Canal or Kail Koad will pass; and
at the same time he will sell about 20 of the lots
of ground at Lenox ville. This place was laid
off in Town Lots by the late James M Kmlay,
Esq, and the subscriber. It is situated at the
western entrance of North River ; the lots are
at right angles, of 110 by 200 feet square, and
the streets 90 feet wide, affording at each corner
three water views. It is unquestionably the
most desirable situation of any within the limits
of the State, on the seaboard, for atownship;
the harbour having at all times, at least 12 feet
water to the ocean, which is 5 or 6 miles dis-.
tant. Vessels may load with perfect safety at
all seasons of the year, within 20 or 30 feet bf
the shore, and be at sea, with anv wind from
N. W. Eastwardly to South, in one hour.- The
scite is high and healthy the water plentiful
and good, and the storm tides never overflow
the premises. Strong efforts will doubtless b'e
made during the ensuing Congress to effect
measures to open a Canal between the waters
Of Adams Creek and North River, or to con
struct,' Rail Road from Adams' Creek to Len-
oxville. A survey hasr been effected, and a re
port in favour of a canal, made to Congress by
Capt. Bache, of the U. S. Engineers. Either
project has warm and influential friends,. not
only in Ciaven and Carteret, but also in remote
places. It is the most eligible situation to oiv
nect the Northern and Southern link of com
munication which is deemed indispensable in a
military point of view. Lenoxfille is now a
good stand for retail stores, and the most desi
rable point within the State for Steam Mills.
Those concerned in Steam Boats and commer
cial business, as well as those who desire pleas
ant summer residences, or eligible stands for
mechanical operations, are -invited to examine
the premises and secure lots while they may be
had at prices greatly below their value.
He will also sell, at Newbern, on the 3d of
September, the House and Ground on the Old
County Wharf, formerly owned by Capt. John
Merrit, suitable for a family and Retail Store,
and a good stand for a Boarding-house.
A credit of 6, 12, 18 and 24 months will be
given for all sums over $400, by paying one
fourth in advance and giving notes with appro
ved security, with interest from the date for the
balance ; and a credit of 6 and 12 months, for
sums over $50 and under $400-:-under $50,
cash. v
