no.thing which can be unworthy the refined taste of
an accomplished gentleman.

affections mav be fully assured that, if' any. matters
of interest capable of being construed by them asi

there never shall be -found in our paper in any de-
artment, or on -any consideration a word or sylla

whom rank among; the most scientific yvriters in
America. ' - - . - ' - -;" . '

being the only paper published oh Beaufort Harbor,

appeals to all who feel an (interest in that locality,
to.give their support to his paper. - The Editor makes
no hollow promises that his paper shall be the best
in the country for the price,! or that there will be any
extra display pf talent in its Editorial Columns, as is
frequently the case in issuing Prospectuses for coun
try papers:, but he does pledge himself to publish a
good pa one worthy of a liberal support froili the
people of the State'. It is. the design of the Editor to
make the Journal a first class Commercial Paper, to
give reports of the Markets,, Foreign and Domestic,
the Latest Neivs, &e. ::'.-i .' " - "' '1 v- : :
;, The Journal will continue, as heretofore, Inde
pendent on all subjects; It will take sides with no
poUtical party) but will advocate such measures as
are thought hest calculated to promote the interests
of the country) and of our State. " -
AstO the different localities in this vicinity, it is
not our object to show partiality,. but to advocate the
claims of Bekufart Harbor, and leave Beaufort,
Morehead, an4 Carolina Cities to stand on their own
merits believing ' that more good can be accom
plished in this; way thahjn discussing the; claims or
advantages of locaUties; and we appeal to i the
citizens, those
places, to give
interested, and to the friends of these
us their support. - "I
The completion of the Atlantic & North -Carolina
Railroad is neair at hand, and it is very 'important
that the only paper published on this Harbor should
be widely circulated, in order that its Commercial
advantages may become better known. Persons at
a distance, who feel ah interest in this place, will find
the Journal to ibe ' very interesting, as we shall be
careful to give
all local news of any importance.

worlds as to please and instruct every one. If the

HARPEBVS MAGAZINE. ',
SEVENTEENTH VOLUME. !
; - The, Pnblishers of Harper's NewMonthly MagaT
zine refer to the Sixteen Volumes already issued as
the best assurance that no labor or expense will be
spared to render it worthy of the liberal' support
which it" has received. They believe that the Mag
agine now embraces in its general plan every thing
essential to an attractive literary miscellany, adapted
to the wants of the American Public.- Its regular
circulation has not been I diminished even during the
unexampled financial revulsion, which has proved
disastrous to so many literary and commercial enter
prises ; and they are assured'from every quarter that
the Magazine is recognized as a necessity rather
than a iiixury. They therefore announce no " New
Features for the future. They will continue to fill
the : Magazine with articles inculcating sound views
in Life and Morals; leaving, as. heretofore, the dis
cussion of sectaiian opinions in Religion and section
al! questions in Politics to their own appropriate
organs. Wise men and true patriot agree upon
points far more numerous than those upon which they
differ. The object of the Magazine will be to unite
rather than to separate the views and feelings of the
people of our common country. -
The Publishers do not 1 find it necessary or expedi
ent to appeal to public attention by issuing " Speck
men Numbers" coutaining an unusual amount' of
matter or illustrations. X They intend that every
Number shall prove the Magazine to be the best and
cheapest periodical published. It will contain a
larger amount of matter; more numerous and better
illustrations, printed in a better manner, than any
other Monthly. Magazine,- and the Publishers are
confident that it will deserve and receive the same
cordial appreciation and liberal patronage which
have been, accorded to it during the Eight ye9.rs of
its nnlihcation. - ;repr i a

Miscellaneous. ' - '
Sense. A rough common sense pervaded the
following, in which there is certainly more truth
than. poetry: . ;' . . -
"Great men never swell. It is only three cent
inviduals who are salaried at two hundred dollars
a year and dine on potatoes and dried herring,
who put on airs and flashy yaistcu'ats, swell, puff, ':
blow, and endeavor to give themselves a cbnse-.-quential
appearance. No discriminating person
can ever mistake the spurious for the, genuine
article. The difference between the two. is as
great as that between a bottle of vinegar and, a
bottle of the pure juice of the grape."
A Musical Bed. The last novelty from Ger-.
many is a musical bed; which receives the weary
body, and immediately " laps it in Elysium." It
is an invention of a lTtechanic. in Bohemia, and is
so constructed that by means of hidden mecha
nism, a pressure upon the bed. causes a soft and
gentle air of Auber to.be played which continues
long enough to lull the most wakefnl to sleep. At
the head is -a clock, the hand of which being
placed at the hour the sleeper wishes to rise'j when
the time arrives the bed plays a inarch of Spontoni, i
with drum and cymbals, and in short, -with noise "
cnopgh to rouse the seven sleepers. ' '
An Engijsii Captain Loves a Fisherman's
Beautiful Daughter. In England, lately,' a
suit for breach of promise of marriage was brought
by a fisherman's ' beautiful daughter against a '
captain in the English army, fixing damages at
$50,000. The love'Ietters of the gallant captain .
were so numerous that they were printed . for the
accommodation of counsel, making in all ayolume
of 198 pages. ' The matter was finally compro
mised by the payment to the injured lady of the
sum of $10,000, with the promise that the volume
of letters should be burnt. " f

Shooting her Seducer. At Boston, on Wed- ,
nesday evening last, a young woman named Mary
A. Douleyf shot one Patrick Canney, a grocer,
whom she alleged had seduced her under a prom

loaded with two balls, each of which produced a
wound, neither of them however are likely to
prove fatal. , .' r t ! ,
A man in Memphis,' Tennessee, was arraigned
a few days since before the Recorder, for carrying
concealed weapons. The man proved Ihey were.. .

with weapons exposed about his person.- I
