The continuation of the inland route to Florida has long been agitated and several surveys have bo-en made, but aa yet no practical steps have been taken to push the work for ward. The importgnee of this route p. the liovernment in time of war w rh anv foreign power is very itrett while it.s advantages to c. .a-1 wise shipper ;:i timo of peace can h ir iiy 1 1 v. r maU'd . We hope Congress w .1 at tii.s -e.--. n m ike a 1 iberal appropriation to continue this route southward from Pamlico soui'd, antl thus enable vepsels to avoi.l the daDgem of the coast of Hatteras. and at the sametime ti ' a great vv irk f r coa .t defenses. C 1 1 in t c of the Pam Urn Srclton. We publish today a chapter from Mr. Jno. Haven 's forth. "om 1 ng pamphlet "ii the climate of the Pamlico section. We believe he gives th" fads 111 the case an t they should be widely circulated. The death rate am mg the white popula tion of New Berne wol compare favo r ably with any town or city on the At lantic coast. This is not a mere asser tion for the purpose of b timing the health of the city, we are willing t show the reoords m pr f of it. Among the colored population of New H-tii" the death rate n much larger thin among tha whites, and tic fact that quite two-thirds of their deaths ar" of children under ten year an i mostly under live, is proof p sitive that 1: is for lack of proer care an I attention- Willi reasonable prudence p.-op;.- wtll t-nj y as good health in this Pamlico sc-Tnni as anywhere in the United States.

Hall, of Halifax county, reminds me of i 11 promise I had made myself sometime, ago to inform the public of what tlirsp mad-stones are made and wherein lies-' thtir virtue. I have seen several of 1 these remarkable stones 1 so-called'. On j examining them I tind most of them to 1 be improved specimens of kaolin. Your travelling man. D. K. Walker, has on his farm in Lenoir county, tons of this mad stone, some of which I have per- I sonally tested for ail slings and snake bites, with satisfactory results. Its j virtue lies in its great absorbing quali ties. The .-tone is first submerge, 1 in: hot water or heated ov er a i hre and then applied to the bitten or stung place. It will stick tighter than poverty to a mortgaged cropper, until it absorb? every particle ot moisture at the point of application, and with the moisture goes the fluid poison into the stone. The heating of the stone before .application expands and expels the air from the in terspaces of the stone iiud thus greatly increases its absorbing- power-. Of course after the poison has once been absorbed by the system and taken up in the general circulation, mad-stones will do no good. II. O. Hyatt. M. D.

The Manufacturer's Record has labored long and earnestly to im press upon the South: 1. That the South, as a whole, ran never be prosperous UDtil its farmers are prosperous. - That Southern iarmers, as a ( lass, will never be prosperous un nl they have a home market for all the diversified products of a farm. 1. That this home market can only be secured by the development of extensive manufacturing and mining interests throughout the Smith, aud that it is impossible to this without a protective tariff. The first proposition admits of no discussion. It is a self-evident fact. There is hardly more room for dis cussion of the second. The South ern farmer is advised day after day, and year after year to disversify his products to raise less cotton and more of other produce. To a cer tain extent, this advice is very good. There are, of course, many farmers who would improve their condition by raising their own food si uiTs, but even a change in that direction would not lift up and im-p-.-nve the whole farming interests of tht- South. To make prosperous the agricultural interests of that sec lion, as well as of any other, there must be even a wider diver sity of productions than cotton, corn and hogs. These are the sta ples, but it is hardly so much the staple products that bring prosperi ty as it is the diversified products of a farm. The Southern farmer must have a home market for his poultry, eggs, butter, milk, fruits, vegetables, etc. In the production of these he would find great profit il tl.e'e were a good home market fur them. At present he has little or no market for these very impor tant articles. It is true that here and there some demand is found lor them, and in the neighborhood of the Southern, cities and manufac turing centers there is a growing demand for all such productions;but how small is this demand as com pared with the almost limitless capabilities of the South in the pro duction of such things! Almost nine out of ten Southern farmers would simply be wasting time and energy to raise fruits, vegetables and poultry in the hope of finding a profitable home market, and so they must of necessity, "willingly or 1:11 willingly, continue to raise cot ton, as that is a crop that can al ways be turned into money. A home market can only be secured through the development of manu factures and mining, which would furnish employment to consumers ot agricultural products the South having already far too many pro ducers of such products as com pared with the total population. What a revolution would be seen if every Southern farmer could read ily sell, at remunerative prices, every ci ate of fruits or vegetables he could produce, every pound of but ter he could make, aud ail the poultry he could raise .' Instead of poverty would be seen riches, and the South would become as it ought to be the garden spot of the world. It is this ability to sell everything that they can raise that has made Northern farmers rich. Travel through Pennsylvania and you see on every side evidence of great ag ricultural prosperity. The land is naturally no better than that of the South: tiie climate does not begin to c ;i!pare with that of the genial Sunny South. and the larnii'is aie unlv more elite: pi i.-mg because they have more inducements to be so. (live the Southern farmers the same opportunities possessed by Pennsylvania farmers, 111 having a good home market, and they, too, would display the same energy and ehielplise. The last census tells us that the value ul Pennsylvania's in.mutactures was greater than the combined value of the manufactures oi the whole South, or in other 'Voids, every manufacturing enter jiiise located in the fourteen South ern States iuJs-.ii, if crowded into one State as large as Pennsylvania would no make that State near as much ol a m.mufactiii ing area as P, yivotii.i was at that time.

Sportsmen are busy shooting and bagging game. The crack of their fowling piece can be heard in every direction. Died In Trenton township, on Thursday last. Mr. and Mrs. David L. Milliard's litlle baby boy, aged 1 1 m int lis. Corn is selling at Trenton at 50 c.nts per bushel: fodder 00 cfs; eggs l.j cts: sweet potatoes 40 etc; fresh pork ,1 cts per pound. Many changes have taken ph.ee here between landlords and tenants: all ol whom I suppose expect to profit by their change. Trenton has with her Professor Dissosway, who has commenced giving the young ladies and gentle men lesson's in the dancing art. Capt. Page and Mr. Job. L. Kin sey have constructed an ice honse, aud have been s'oriug a goodly quantity for next summers's use. A lady who has resided in about 8 miles of Trenton all her life, and who has several children grown, made her first visit there a few days ago. M. ('. Giddens, our worthy post master, has dissolved copartnership with II. L. May Co., and has en tered in as salesman with J. P. Brogden. Trenton was visited on Saturday last by fish carts from New river fresh trouts, which sold at 30 cents per pair faster than the owner could hand them. We learn that court in Trenton adjourned during the cold snap. We suppose that the cold weather had frozeu out all the law ardor of prosecutors and defendants. Our house wives say that the hens are failing to do their dnty, so consumers and venders had better prepare, for another cold snap will bring upon them an egg famine. I heard an old lady consoling her self that this cold snap wonld cause the price of eggs to advance, as many people would neglect and let their eggs freeze. She said that hers was in line condition, having them well wrapt up in a blanket. All farming operations are at a stand-still, waiting for the weather to moderate. Our day laborers are having a rough time of it; but I sup pose all will be able to weather it as it is impossible for a man to perish in our county as our people are too charitable to let anyone suf fer while they have plenty and some to spare. The mill pond at Trenton during the cold snap was frozen over and our young folks have had lots of fun skating and falling down and slid ing about on the glassy element. The amusement continued some three days. We learn thab even some old steady settled heads buck eled on their skates to show the young ones how old times could do, but somehow they had forgotten the motion, and while our young men were gliding over the pond the old chaps were crawling to the shore. We have entered upon the cold snap; everybody says that it is the coldest spell that they have ever experienced. Our oldest inhabi tants even say that they never ex perienced such a cold snap; but I must say that these oldest inhabi tants and others are all mistaken. Why, sir, I recollect that near the 1st of January, 1857, we had severer weather than this spell, as it com menced snowing on Sunday and snowed a whole day and night, while the wind was cold and high; some places the snow had drifted and it was then said by the oldest inhabitants to be deeper than they had ever seen. I can recollect it very distinctly, and must say that the Monduy following was the coldest time I have ever felt in North Cajolina, aud the ice at that time was much thicker than it is now. 1 heard a couple of colored men ol Trenton talking, one of them re marked that he had had a rough time of it during the last few years. Why, said he, I first bought me a mule; then 1 thought I needed a buggy, so I purchased one. Now they are all paid for and you will see me now make money. Then, said No. 2, you are just at the top round of the nigger's ladder if you attempt to go any higher you will certainly fall. I don't own a mule, neither a buggy, and I have as much to eat as the most of my race. Sometime 1 can lend them monev, meat and meal, and I am really contented. I say to you that all that is intendea for us is a plenty ot hard work and a plenty to eat aud wear. And, continued he, I have noticed it frequently that whenever a darkey attempts to get above these limitations he is certain to come down to the very starting point, that is working for what he can eat.
