When was it settled?" Jtntwtr, Newborn was first settled in 1709, one hundred and twenty-seven years ago, by a colony of Palatines, or Germans, from Heidleburg oh the Rhine, and its vicinity; The spot was called ATeto Heme, out of compliment to GratTenried, the unworthy leader of the party, who was a native of Heme in Switzerland. Their first shelters, like that of most emigrants at that pe riod.were temporary huts, erected on the spot where we now write, winch they occupied till they should be for mally put in possession of their promi sed lands. GratTenreid and Michell ' had previously ctvrnanted with the . Lonla Propri e tors of Carol ina" for 1 0, - 000 acres between me Neuxe & ( ape Fear rivers, at twenty shillings the hun- . tireu . acres, ami supence, annuany, ' quit-rent - Having thus secured the lands, these men wished to make them productively settling them, and they accordingly agreed to transport to C rolinaone hundred families, about 650 in number, who had sought refuse in England from irreligious persecution in il!eir-ow'aeountryi promising 4o each 250 acres nf land, to be held on easy terms. In December of the rear above mentioned, the.. Palatines landed,-as ' stated, at the confluence of the Neuse and lVeat, nd erected Ihfir tenjpoi a ry huts.

That Venus and husband had lived to gether in Georgia, (XVaed States J as man and wife, an I had several chil dren, two of which are now living that she became dissatisfied, and made several applications to be released from the marriage contract; not because of mat -treatment, her husband being 1 man of very quiet and pacific dispo sition, industrious and. affectionate. That she declared that she would leave him, or bs the death ol him. That she and Demory had endeavored to procure poison, from the natives, to put the husband out of their way. That she had promised marriaee to him if he would kill . her. husband. -.That thi plot being , made, and the plan of death agreed on, X fcDoe accordingly nronosed to the unsuspecting WaTd- bur?, to tro with him to the Cape, Mon rovia. That before the cocks crowed for day, on the morning of the 7th June last they left New Georgia to- rether.

That he sometime after daylight, on the same morning, return ed to town, and toU sVnus Wliat he had done, had killed her husband! Ihat she enquired ot him whether he had . buried him or not, telling him at the same time, that if he had left him on the land, the people would certain ly find Ium he must go and throw him into the water.; That he went at night, anil'put him'Tnlo the Slocktoa creek, where he was afterwards found floating among the mangroves. It be ing known that Waldburg had left Mew lieorgia for Monrovia, with Uem- ory, and not having returned with him, his friends began to be alarmed; his wife tooVappeared to be very Inquisi tive and uneasy; but asserted with seeming, sou what was too manliest, (orced sorrow; that she knew her hus band was surely lost, Demory was strictly : questioned, but he denied knowing any thing concerning the de ceased.

The evi dence being heard, 4io we ver. her case was aUo submitted to a jury, with pro per instructions from the court, who, after retiring ; to consult, "brought in a verdict against her, of being accessory to the murder of her husband. The most anxious enquiry was strongly de- picieu in every countenance present; whatwfll be the fate of the prisoners? What will.be their condemnation? It could not be otherwise. It was a trial for the commission of one of the blackest crimes a man can commit. It was a novel, it was a sol emn, it was an affecting scene.

Alexander Mc-. Rae, as Superintendant, with a salary of 81300 per annum, and James S. Green Esq. received the appointment of Treasurer and Secretary. As soun as practicable Mr. Gwynn orshize two bngauSif of skilful " and efficient Engineers, and forthwith caused two lines from this place to Halifax to be surveyed, and at this end West of Long Creek a part of a third, in obedience to the directions of the board. For niore detailed Information on the subject, reference is respectfully invited to the very able and satisfac tory report of the Engineer. For causes set forth in the report ol the Engineer, combined with the fact. that the Western rout" would pass through a more fertile region of coun try affording more produce for trans portation than the Eastern route, and the yet more important consideration, that it approaches nearer Fayettsville and Raleiir, to which places at do distant day, it may become necessary to construct branches, the board were induced to award to it the preference by 'fli'-u n an'unou t. ote,v,fe, - Y hen the road tromlayctfeviile t Salisbury, as now contemplated, shall have been constructed, a continuation of it to a connection with ours, through the county of Sampson and into the bowlers of iuplin focr- smooth... level ; country about the distance of forty miles, affording the fa rjner, trailer and trateller increased facilities of reach- 115: the several markets and towns in our Slate, and the free egress and re gress, in and out ot the Mate INorth and houthj is t6 obviously necessary I anu important, to leave a uouut on the mind nt any reasonable man,s to its immediftte accomplishment. And in justice to the more Eastern section ol the State, the road should be contin ued to Newbern and Beaufort j open ing an interOTTitnunication.'. '.beiVjetnJ. the North and the South, the East and the West in our State, and giving the Farmer a choice of our own markets and the option of the Virginia markets, or indeed by shipments from the Ports to which tiese roads lead, to any market he pleases to select. A very important consideration, connected with the cr6t road from the West via Fayetteville to Beaufort, will be the facility of transmitting arms, from the Arsenal about to be erected by the national Government at Fay etteville, and the transoortation of iTrnops to points of invasion or insur- districts, where such events will most probably occur, and'which are now in a most defenceless situation Indeed the various, many aod important ad vantages of connecting the sea port towns, in the speedy transmission of the mail, and in military commercial agricultral points of view, are so obvious and striking thst an enumeration of them is not deemed necessary. About thirty miles of the road has been located, and some twenty tire put under contract, and but for the very sickly season more would have been accomplished. The prospects a- gain revive with the return of health. and no means will be spared - to push the work with vigor and success. The contracts so far, have fallen within the estimates of the Engineer, and no doubt is entertained of the cor rectness of the estimates generally as far as tested they are certainly so I will embrace this opportunity to say, that the estimate of the Engineer, as regards "the profits of the Road. which may be regarded as uncalled for :on his part in:: tyro'wsiohaV point of vlewr- wa wade at the request of many Of the friends of the improve ment, from data understood- to be in his possession, and with no view of fwffi ic. u fling the work or misleading the pub- So far irom which, the estimate was actually reduced from whit was fully supported by the data and every days experience. bit hundred ions of iron, splicing plates and spikes sufficient for SO miles of the road, also two Locomo tives and wheels and axles tor SO cars, have beea ordered; and we are advi sed contracted for in England, on as good terms as we expected, though at considerable advance on former rates deliverable in march next The amount subscribed to the capi tal stock of the company, may be put down at a little above half a million of dollars, on which 12 per cent has been railed for in three instalments This should have yielded about SCO, 000, the amount however actually col lected, appears to be 41,593, of which there has been expended 37,103, leaving in the treasury the small bal ance of g4,4 90, which will render it necrsary at svme. early day to call for another instalment and enforce pay ment from delinquent subscribers. It -4 is however proper to say, that most of mesuoscnoers nave met ine cans lor money ; with great promptitude aud cheerfulness. The Treasurer's Account, to which reference is invited, will more min utely exhibit the pecuniary transac tions and situation of the company. Upthis lime the "besTTeelTngs nave been manifested for the work through out the line, and from the high price of . - . . . . tions will gradually $11 up, ss the work progresses & trie citizens become more acquainted with 1 its advantages and importance. fe-,Ofiooak wbsOTpUonf are made along the line, .and 1 have understood that others will follow to considera ble amount. , J v RelinquUhments cfland over" which the road will pass, have, with few ex ceptions, been made promptly and cheerfully: and Eenerally.'the few pet' wua naic . 1-. gratuitouly, have agreed to refer the subject to amicable arbitrament, so that a pregnant source of expense and litigation will, in a great degree, bo a voided. I am persuaded howeyexj. that none woTBtdfusncVeerTulIy to relinquisn the pittance of land which would be occupied by. the road, if they would re flect for a moment on the many and important advantages which would cer tainly result to themselves and neigh bors. Among 'which may be enumer ated the opportunity ol selling at their doors all articles ot provision which they may raise, to the contractors and workmen empUvfd in and during its construction; and when in operation, the rapid and cheap conveyance of their produce to market, enables them to take the advantage of favorable fluctu ations increasing the value, if not Tri dd opening a -market i forprovisions Wliich are incapnble"of long preserva tion, icat, poultry, fish, oysters, milk, hutteregijs, vegetables, &c, may be brought from great distances for con sumption; the economy of time in their 5i9il of .pleasure. or,.buines,..and x bove all, the enhanced value of their lands. Although the whole country will be greatly benefitted by the improvement, as we have shown, that portion of land yng within the route, will, in accord ance with statements we have seen on the subject, be most enhanced in vaT u. -The - esti matoa - variousl y ran p-e from one to twenty-live dollars per acre. Would it then be unreasonable to vatu the lands within ten miles on each side of the road, at a trifle above tht minimum price of .the advance oa ands upon other roads? The area in cluded within such a width and 160 miles length of the road, is equal to 3,200 square miles, or 2,0-18,000 a cres, at two dollars nearest the line, & diminishing to a dollar as you. proceed more remotely (making an avera je of 1 -2 per acre, would give 83,072,000; a sum equal to treble the whole cost of the road. To which may be added the extra increase of the value of land in the neighborhood of the depots; eligible seats for towns and villages, and the increased value of town property with which it will connect, even in our de- Pm4 tkia mt .real Mtata. max ba But dowa at half a million of dollars, ma king the total 83.572.000. In pursuance of authority granted to the board at the general meeting of the stockholders in March last,' to com mence the road at both ends, they hae in viw, on the principles of equijy. the commencement at Halifax, as soon as the subscription north nf the Contcnt nea amounts to a sum which will carry the mad to some point from "which a profit could be txpected tu Tar Riv er for instance. Rail roads cannot, at this period of time,- be considered as experiments. The country is already intersected with them in almost every direction, and many others are in prgre of construction; and whenever judicious ly located, economically constructed and managed, they prnve sources of great profit to the stockholders, and infinite advantage fa the farmer, arti ficer, labourer, and indeed to every other person who seeks labour for sup port, or an easy and quick mode of conveyance for business or pleasure. Can a rill j:oa4 Jak1 sucn direction as to Decoine the pn ci pal mote from north to the south fail to prove lucrative? We think not. The northern roads similarly situated, must be profitable if we are to judge from the crowd of passengers passing over them, and the' more unerring evi dencetobc found in the. eager anxiety to construct .orhers to fill the various broken links in the great chain nf trav el from north to south, and when it is II J 1 .L.4. it.. ..
