I ho last number of the Amherstburg courier savs: We have been favored for the last four or five days by an influx of the colored population from the Stages, whose advent, though honorable to the province as a land of liberty, could be very beneficially dis-" pensed with by the peaceable' inhabitants of this frontier. On this side sable clouds of emigrants are disembarked from every boat that stops, and between one and two hundred have already arrived at this port. A like rapid influx continues at all points; along the frontier as far as heard -from;! and if some action be not taken by the legislature in the matter, this part of the province must soon be overwhelmed by our colored brethren. When, some years1 ago, the poor inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland flocked over to this province too rapidly, our liberal government im posed a poll-tax upon all persons landing on our shores from the other side oi the Atlantic. Much more necessary is such a provision to prevent our being flooded by a black population. Let us see if oui rulers will i.npose it." Colored People in In (liana.

All the honors of the Republic, dependent on the succession to the Presidency, as well-as all the great and permanent interesis which go to the advancement of the power of the country, will give impulse to the action of the next session of Congress. The Daily Globe will be published daily during the session of Congress, and weekly the remainder of the year. It will contain full and faithful reports of the proceedings of both Houses of Congress; and miscellaneous articles on those gener al subjects to which it is devoted.

Beattie's Ford, Lincoln Co., N. C. October 25, 1850. A WORK will be published by the un dersigned this Spring, entitled as .above, giving an accurate account of each County in our State, in Alphabetical order, the derivation of its name, date of formation, its Colonial and Revolutionary, History, a Biography of its distinguished citizens; an accurate list of its representation in each branch of the General Assembly, its Towns, Rivers, Population, Resources, Products, and Topography.

Occasional extracts have been published in the Standard and other papers of this Stite, over the signature of 4 Tacitus. The History of North Carolina is yet to be written. The remark which one of the ablest Historians of the age. (Bancroft,) has been compelled lo make, that "so carelessly has the History of North Caro lina been written that the name, and mer its and end of the first Governor is not known," is a reflection upon us. An ex amination of the early history of the Counties of North Carolina jshows (a re cord of the purest patriotism and indomit- able courage. This record is nuw cover ed by the dust of age, and unknown by neglect. It is a debt which the present generation owes to Ihe past as well ;:ihe future to preserve these memorials; for it often occurs in the history of our race, that facts known to one generation are controverted by the next, arid at a suc ceeding period are considered as doubtful legends, unworthy of historical faith. Our Mecklenburg . Declaration of Indepen dence, in May, 1775, had almost been an -illustration of this truth. "These are deeds which should hot pass away, And names that must not wither; though the ear. i a Forgets her empires with a just decay, . The enslavers and the enslaved, their death and birth." This work will be illustrated with a Map of the State, from latest surveys, and including the new Counties to this date. aml sketches in Engravings Engravings of some of her beautiful scenery. It will contain about 500 pages, and be furnished at ono dollar a copy. Subscriptions will be re ceived and the book furnished at different points of the State. JNO. II. WHEELER. P.

The Southerner. The undersigned propose to. . publish a weekly newspaper in the town of-Green ville of the above name, to be issued as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers can.be obtained to warrant the enterprise. We would forvvarn the public against be ing alarmed by our name, as it is not in tended to indicate any dalliance w ith disu nion or secession. We are for the Con stitution and the Union, but we think that it is hih time for the South to be increas ing in attachment for home', and looking more to home interesis, and particularly that ne here, should, be zealously regard ing the interests and concerns of our own North Carolina. The past and present teach us the lesson to rely upon ourselves, to sustain and foster our home industry and energy, and provide for our comforts and wants as much as we can within our own borders. It is from this considera tion that wc intend to make the "South erner" an out-and-out North Carolina I paper, and to devote ourselves in its col umns chiefly to the subject of improve ment in the old North Stale, improve ment in her agriculturej manufactures, ! facilities for transportation and markets, in her education, and in all other means lt it'ViinV-k lift, tract rriOll rioc m r ?
