Noti e is given" elsewhere 'n to day's paper for a meeting of subscri bers to the capital -stock of the New Berne and Beaufort Ship Canal, which meeting is called to take place at the Gaston House, this city, Friday, the 14th instant. There is n enterprise under the san of equal importance to the commerce of New iierne and Eastern Carolina, and nothing which so much appeals to ' the enterprise and public Spirit of our citi. zens as this proposed deep water outlet from New Berne through Beaufort Har bor. Constructed to develop its greatest capacity, this canal will bring Beaufort bar water to New Berne, which at mean low tide is eighteen feet. This is as great depth as any port now needs tor ac commodate modern ships of the mer- chan marice, and it will ma"Ae New 1 Berne the finest fresh water Atlantic port, and gitfe" to Beaufort Harbor that impc tus necessary to the upbuilding of a great seaport. . Great commercial pfo6per1ty and pow er would attend this portion of North Carolina, inieed of the whole State, with i - New Berne and Beaufort connected both by rail-and deep water, and each in i the height of domrliercial activity, and noth ing is so absolutely essential to these two pfaceSoi a nttotrtal interests, as this proposed ehip canal. 'NoW is ttxe 'time to mote in the mat ter. A proper and a united effort ! Cati secure at the hands of Congress all the necessary appropriations for dfedging the rivers an'd approaches to the canal, and independent of tfll other considera-" tions, the expenditure of 8tfch a sum of moheyjn their midst, should be a suffi cient inducement to secure the active co operation ofjevery citfzen orf New Berne, MoreheaM and Beaufort. We trust heYe" will be' an active move ment henceforward id behalf of the New Berne and Beaufort Cana1! scheme. Groceries High, in quality but low in Alex. Miller's.- prices,, at ; Ex-Senator Abbott. - Referring to the death of Gen. Jose iph C. Abbott, which! event we noted yes terday, the Wilmington t Post says: , 'After the war. he settled in North Carolina, being Due of the very firs northern men who invested in lands i in this State. He purchased about 3000 acres of land in Bladen county, on the line of the Carolina Central Railroad, where he'established a saw mill, and con structed a railroad of bra own, many miles in the country, to draw his timber to tne mill, in itnz ne established a large car factory and run it for many in his mill, railroad years, employing and factory at least 150 hands. He built up one of the finest little vi?- laces on the line of the Carolina Central was named Abbotts Railroad, which burg, in honor to him. In 1875, on ac- count of security debts and the large in busi- shrinkage in values, he failed ness." Gen. Abbott came with the army m 1865, at the fall of Fort Fisher, and North Carolina jhas been his home ever since. He labored long and faithfully for the development of our resources and the upbuilding of bur State. We knew him well and always found him & genial, cultured gentleman. He served in the Constitutional Con and was elected to the ve.ntion of 1868, United States Senate. He was inetru mental in reviving appropriations for the Cape Fear Rivr Improvements below Wilmington, anjl deserves to b temetri bered for the valuable services to his adopted Statfi. j Gen. Abbott had been an editor in his native State' of New Hampshire, and was for a long time editor df tlltf Post at Wilmington. In politics, he was a Re publican, advanced and liberal. He was a brave, generous man, and, recalling the incidents ofj an intimate acquain tance and friendship begun fifteen years ago, we sincerely mourn his death and drop a tear to hjs memory- l'l immings.
