writes from his home requesting settlers'
rated, having decided to locate perma
nently in North Carolina, near iligh
landa
Mr. M. Knowles vll Lenoirsville, Pa.
writes tliat he intends to move to this
State in the fall and will probably settle
in Catawba Co. Some of hia people have
moved to that county during the present
year, and he thinks a number ot his peo
pie will make N. C. their future home.
Mr. T. W. Tioladr. formerly of Penn
has moved to Warrenton, is well pleased
and will induce a number of people down
He writes for rates so that two English
families can move to this State. The
head of one of the families is a black
smith.
W. E. Fuller, Esq., of Ohio, wishes to
locate in N. C. and enrage in agricultur
al pursuits. He owns land in Ohio, but
thinks this State is more suited to his
wants than that. John Havden of Port
Byrdri, N. Y., wishes to visit N. C, for
the purpose of looking at tne country and

The publishers of the Manufacturer's
Record have purchased the Baltimore
Journal of Commerce, and will continue

from a small unknown paper to be one of
tne xoreuiosi inausn-iai journals in uie
country, nnivei'sally acknowledged to
have accomplished incalculable good for
the South, in promoting the development
ot its material resources. The same en
terprise and life that has marked the
management of the Manufacturer's Rec
ord, and the same policy that has brought
it such unprecedented success, Mill be
observed in the conduct of the Journal
of Commerce. It will be a useful paper
to business men, and its market reports
and quotations of prices will make it use
ful to smppcTs ot produce, gram, cotton,
lumber, &c.
The town council lirfs granted to Mr. J.
J. Smith the privilege of laying a tram

north side of Bear Pernf, and on towards
the Short Oif schoctf JioWfee; Mr. Smith
proposes to use the road- for hauling logs
to his mill, also for bringing to Highlands
buildta& stone, 4uOst ineibaustibfer sup
plies of which are found along the' line of
the proposed tram-vay ; and as fire-wood
is growing scarce near at hand, the town
can be supplied with it in the same way
from a greater distance.
