S. would make it appear as if .your correspondent wertr endea vorfng to antagonize the in terests of Trenton and New-Bern. Suck is not . the case, and I hope the, people of New-Bern, including JV M. B, will not misunderstand the real aim of my letters, namely: to contend against th effort to depreciate and injure Trenton in favor of the lands adjacent to Quaker Bridge. . .-ljxa,umcieny-of the r?a?of onx dor respondent gives why the Quaker Bridce White Oak' pocosin road .will injure Trenton, bu denies that Trenton will be injured. Thus he proceeds, "The great bulk of the Onslow trade has heretofore gone, and will still continue to go, if the distance to New-Bern is not greatly short ened, either, to Wilmington or Kinstom" Mark! "But a3, the matter iiow stands, this trade will neither go to Wilmington nor come to New-Bern.!' It will con tinue to go to Wilmington or Kinston, and yet it , will neither go to Wilmington nor New-Bern. . Where will it go ? ! r This reads like a middle to which one would, without ipojwingjwhy, guess : It will go to Kinstoq. I'. . Hardly to .Kinston for many Lenoir farmers now go.to Ne,w Bern with their produce, and with water communication open it is not likely, that they will seek the Rail Road. V j v ;., We read t on for further information; and find the answer to the riddle to be "Jacksonville.: -Jacksonville is a more prosperous village than Trenton, and sit uated oq, navigable -water says F. M. S. Jacksonville then is to be the "ultimate objective market" for the country west of the Trent; river, if this pocosin road is not built ! . . : , . u mv ' t j Mr. Editor, I beg leave in behalf of the goocl people s ef Jacksonville, to pro test against this unlooked. for greatness which F.,.J; S. contemplates thrusting upon it, making it an "ultimate objective market" for! cotton, &c. 1 1 submit that the ambition of the" good 'old village-extends no further, than. thjs, to be a pros- f pqrous country town, which is all wcast for, Trenton. ' j t J At the beginning of the paragraph very formidably headed "1st,' which we have endeavored to - construe; is, asked the question,. "Then hi what way,;will this road injure Trenton ?! V M. S. points out only too clearly and obviously how this road will injure Trenton. Sec his letter, the only flaw in the elucidation of the question is where, lie says that Tren ton is not of 'sufficient commercial im portance to ever attract this trade." TThis invidious remark comes from . one who represents the "sufficient commercial im portance" of Quaker Bridge' . ; .. The real question, which I M. S. is candid enough' to state is 'why not make Trenton instead of Quaker Bridge the shipping point ? To this question he makes this answer, "because the distance from Trenton' to New-Bern is nearly double that from Quaker Bridge,' and because of the improbability of being able to make the river navigable in the dry months. We refer F.-M. S to the reports of surveyors, and recommend a reperusal of -his map. He might with' probable addition to his present infor mation, inquire of the citizens of Jones county, in what ratio the distauces have increased as you go from New-Bern be- 'j-ond Quaker Bridge ? i As to the benefits I Jones county will 4SG,J?tL32iaYJUli county will thiA road Taa after i travel "All l v liiu: lands of C. E. Foy (a non-resident) and F. M. S: and going through White Oak pocosin t Just so much ot the road are the people of this county interested In. The benefits are easily calculable. The secondly of the communication of F. M. S. is, I presume, where he begins to act on the" advice iof the irresponsible lawyer, "you've got ! no case, ! abuse the counsel on the other side," and "pitches into" your correspondent C. Cy " i In this case he has about as much , strength as the tender youth in Baldwin's "Flush Times" who tackled old CiesarV Kason. Your correspondent will the Trent river to Trenton, the county seat. ; - !jt is a very cheap fling to intimate that OJ C. has not given any aid K the Quaker Bridge White Oak pocosin cor duroy, j C.

It was the remembrance of a f journey from, Sanderson's to Mrs. Oidfiem'8, and the absence of the neces sary bridging, ditching and ballasting, that made your correspondent appear ignorant in the eyes of F. M. S. I call otllers to witness if that is a good road. Nowy Mr. Editor, for the . "true in wiwdncss" of the letters of F. M.
