THE JOURNAL.
NEW BERNE, N. C, JUNE 19, 1882.
Entered ai the Pout office at New Bertie,
n second-class matter.
N.C.,
Ten Thousand a Year.
Mr. Editor: In your editorial on
Saturday morning,; on Graded School,
you state that it c.tn be proved that such
a school will benefit New Berne, direct
ly, $10,000 a year.' That sounds like a
pretty broad statement, and if you can
make such a showing we would be glad
to have it. -
The proof van iy given ,nni the
estimate i.H not itt all too givjit. A
first H'hm (rahl i-hoo! hew would

hundred" children wonhl take akmt
$200 pr year 20,(0tT, all of which
wouhl lie Hieut in New Hei ne, and
ft good amount of it-wonhl be clear
profit. In addition to this, from
ten to twenty families wonhl, every
year, move into New Heine from
the adjoining counties in order to
give their children an "education.
We think a review of the .Journal
files, when published in Kinston,
will show that at least ten families
i moved into that town every year
Bince the paper started, whose
main object : was. to get within
reach of the schools. It needs no
argument to show what such immi
gration is worth. The newcomers
bring capital to invest or offer mns
cle and brain to the labor market,
and their earnings go to swell the
total of a city's trade. Houses are
, in demand, rents advance, and the
retail merchants get the benefit of
their trade. With these two items
we think it no; exaggeration to say
that $10,000 a year will be the profit
accruing directly to New Iierne
from this Graded School. It inTght
not coirie the first year, for schools
have been' n . failure here so long
that some time will be necessary to
, get -the.; people in the adjoining
counties to believe that it is a sue
cess. Pmt with the Journal to
tell of its progress and efficiency a
Oraded School here will have its
points of Usefulness heralded far
and wide in all the surrounding
country, and ..quickly., draw pat
ronage from afar.
The indirect benefit of this school
will be incalculable. A few months
after theiuangnration of the Graded
School at Gohlslxro, we heard a
gentleman living near La Grange,
who owned real estate in Gohlslwro,
say Hiat he very cheerfully paid his
part of the tax on account of the
appreciated value of his property
that his house anil lot could be sold
for $1,000 more since the inaugura
tion of the whool, and that he then
had no trouble in securing a re
munerative tenant. And in a short
lime not more than twenty years
in the future the jiower of an ed-
ucated community will liegm to i M here at 25 minutes be-

genius and indomitable energy of jWaynegboro t0 Newben at about 11
her sons will lie making their mark
in New Berne's" prosperity and
gloryv There is no 'dispute about
the fact that education gives men
the power to make money. Many
men of native talent make money
any way j but if these same men had
lieen educated they could have
luado their money easier and more
rapidly. , 'A' M-!.U f-r
A review of the CeiiRiis returns
far the United States makes as
ftrr t fn nrgument as can well be
j 1 v;' I to prove that education
r -ai a money maker The Reports
; --v.7 t! t for eveiy man, woman
and child iu the State of New York
there is $321 worth of property as
shown by tax assessment; and it i
further seen that the illiterates
(who eannot read) fn that State
amount to 3.28 per cent only of the
entire population. But in North
Carolina the illiterates reach 26.28
ler cent and the per capita valiifc
tion only till. Ceuuetticiitvlth
3.37 per cent of illiterates, calls for
1525 to the inhabitant; and Massa
chusetts with, 4.24 per cent illiter
ary has for every man, woman and
child in her borders the sum of
888.
It has been well said by an emi
nent speaker that education is the
the insurance upon ' civilization,
and it is equally true that it is an
insurance ujon property. It must
be kept up everywhere for the risk
is everywhere. To le.ive the chil
dren of the poor uneducated is to
incur as great risk of destruction
by the fires or Hoods of ignorance
as crowded cities often bear when
swept away by conflagration, and
carrying no fire insurance.
Bits of the History of New
Berne.
After the steamer Norfolk, George
Dalton, limit." Engineers IT. 8., had
a small steamboat that he ran about
our harbor, which he offered, May
2ith, 1832, as follows for sale :
'"The small steamboat recently used
as a towing litrhter iu the nub Ik: onera-
Ujonsou i),e Swash. The engine is of
10 horse (tower, n the high pressure
principle, mid iu good order with the
exception of (he boilers mid furnaces,
which require repairs.- The boat is of
1)11 tons burtheiiy timbered with live oak
and cedar, and . sheathed and fastened
with conner." .
Next e had the ftdmmd MeXair,
quite a heavy side wheel stoam-
lioat, drawing hve or six leet water.
The effort was made, to navigate
our rivers Neuse and Trent with
her. She ran for a while, and, not
withstanding the depth of water
required for her, she was carried at
times pretty high np the Nevxe,
and was finally wrecked above Kin
ston,-where for years,-if ' not now,
her ribs could he seen at low water,
lrhaps Gen. Ransom has removed
them-;dtiring the progress", of his
work.
A steamboat was sent hew from
Wilmington, and it was soon found
she wus not properly constructed
lor our waters, and was taken
away. Then came the naynt,
which ran on the Neuse for years,
The subjoined extracts from the
AeicbernutH ol December loth, 1843,
will give part ol her history
For some days our citizens were kept
in expectation of the arrival of the
steamboat Wayne, in our waters, which
was realized by her appearance on Mon
day last. She was built in Hartford,
Conn., and has been employed in the
navigation of Connecticut river, trans
porting passengers and towing flats from
Hartford to (ireenheld in that state.
She was purchased by our enterprising-
friend, Mr. U. B. nibble, for the purpose
of navigating Neuse and Trent rivers,
for the accommodation of travellers to
and from this place, and towing flats
laden with produce to pur market from
the country lying on the waters of those
rivers, or returning with goods, etc., on
the homeward trip. - The boat is 83 feet
in length, has three boilers and two
engines, of 36 horse power, draws only
twenty inches water, and is propelled
by one wheel astern.
A number of our citizens had an op
portunity of testing her speed on "Wed
nesday at the invitation- of the owner,
and were much pleased with the trip.
Her accommodations are quite good and
sufficient for 15 or 20 passengers. She
is commanded by an experienced mas
ter, and is no doubt suited to the design
of her owner. She left here on Thurs
day for Waynesboro on her first, trip.
It only remains for the community for
whose benefit she has been brought
here,- to back, the enterprise of her
owner, to insure success in the under
taking. We have long believed that
something of this sort should be done,
to revive the drooping prospects, of our
town: and we are convinced that a lit
tle Yankee energy and prudence, and
perseverence. tacked on . to the fiery
zeal of Eastern Carolinians, can ouly be
wanting, to make Newbern what she
ought to be in enterprise and business
prospects. We shall recur to this mat
ter again at another time.
Again we quote December 23d,
1843. - :' ' '"I' :
The Wayne whose arrival from New
llaveu, we spoke of in our last number,
left Newbern on Friday morning of
last week for Waynesboro, and returned
here on Tuesday evening. She left
hours. The obstructions in the' way of
her running from Newbern to Kinston
were not found to be very great. It is
believed that $3,000 expended in clear
ing out logs from the bed of the river,
trees overhanging the banks between
here and Kinston etc., would enable the
Wayne to navigate that part of the riv
er at all seasons; $3,000 more expended
between Kinston and Waynesboro
would in all probability put the river
in navigable order the whole distance,
nearly or quite all the year. We have
not space now to enlarge on the great
advantages to the upper counties, that
this would secure; we shall do so at
another time, but as the court sets in
Kinston the . first week in January,
we beg leave to su ggest and earnestly
recommend that the citizens of Wayne,
Lenoir, etc., hold a meeting in Kinston
on Tuesday, Jan. 2, to consider the pro-
pi iety of making on effort to clear the
river. We understand, and we cannot
see how it can be otherwise, that much
interest is felt in the success of this ex
periment, to run a steamboat from New
bern to Waynesboro.
Again April 2d 1844 from the
same paper. i
The Steamboat Wayne left Newbern
on Saturday mornine freighted with'
goods for Kinston, Waynesboro, Oolds
boro, Smithfield and other points, hav
ing also on board about 80 passengers;
this promises well for future success. If
the people above Newbern will only
manifest the right spirit, and do their
part in having the obstacles in the river
removed, we have every reason to be
lieve that the enterprise will succeed
and tfiis important addition to the navi
gation of the river be continued. What
is there to hinder, the Raleigh merchants
from making -trial of this route for
importing their supplies from New
York? We doubt not they would on
trial find it equally safe, cheaper and
more expeditious- than the route by
which they at present get their goods.
Once more from the Neicbernian.

Gentlemen: I duly received the in

the citizens of Newbern, without dis
tinction of party, have done me the
honor to transmit, to visit that place.
Proceeding as it does from such a source.
I receive it with cordial thanks, and
unaffected gratitude. I should be -most
happy to accept the hospitality which it
so generously tenders; but I regret that
the. fatigues, and engagements, incident
to the arduous journey which I am per
forming will not allow me that satisfac
tion. Although at its commencement,
I restricted myself to the acceptance of
invitations from places lying directly on
my route, r find even that limitation,
imposes -on me a degree of excitement
incompatible with the due preservation
of my health; and during the residue
of my journey, I shall have to entreat
all the forbearance, and kindness which
my fellow citizens can extend to me
invoke that of yourselves, and your
constituents for respectfully declining
the invitation with which you have
honored me, and for which I offer the
expression of my - profound acknowl
edgments.
