To open up tbe line of Inland Navigation between White Oak and New rivers to four feet of water will not require more than $10,000. To open np the navigation ot New river for four feet draught as high as Kicblands will not require an expenditure exceeding $15,000.

Sixty thousand dollars added to the above would develop seven feet draught along this whole line of inland water communication, from New river to Beaufort harbor To open a direct channel-way through the shoals and oyster rocks at the mouth of the river, straight to the sea, affording ten to twelve feet of water from the headwaters of New river into the ocean, would not, in my opinion, require an ex penditure of $30,000. The distance between White Oak and New rivers, through Brown sound, is fifteen miles, from Bogue Inlet to New liiver Inlet outside 12 miles. The mouth of New river is distant from New Berne, through the Caual route, 77 miles the month of White Oak, G2 miles. in conclusion I do not know any field for steamboat navigation su perior to this, or one that is easier or more feasible. There is no locality in the United States which presents bettor facilities for secur ing a highly improved condition of navigation; one in which such im provement would more generally benefit the commerce of the country, for it not only involves the welfare, progress and prosperity of an ex tended area of fertile territory and productive lands, constituting thickly populated section of North Carolina, but it would afford inland facilities for the coasting trade from the neighborhood of she Cape Fear river to the lakes: and as the great Inland System will soon extend to Beaufort harbor, through tbe New Berne and Beaufort Canal its extension to New river, and thence to the Cape Fear, would seem irresistible and inevitable.

Dctdmctive Fire in AHheville. From the Charlotte JounuU-Observer we learn that a destructive fire broke out in Asheville Thursday night, burning three Rtores and destroying 325,000 worth of property. The fire originated in in the business portion of the town, but by hard work was conned to three stores. J. A.

Porter's store of general merchandise was burned, and his whole stock was lost. Hampton Featherstone's saloon and Alexander's harness shop were also burned, but portions of the stock of each were saved. The loss is fully $25,000, upon which there is an insurance bf $12,000. We could not learn how the fire originated. News and On Present Cosditien for Steamboat Navigation In the Waters of Bogue Sound, White Oak River, Brown Sound, New River and their Tribu-tarles, with some Suggestions Thereon, and References to the Population and Products of the Territory.

Jacksonville, N. Sept. 1st, 1883. Marshall Parks, President New Berne and Beaufort, Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal Companies. Norfolk, Sir.

Agreeably to your suggestions and instructions, by interview and correspondence at intervals covering the period from March last. I have made examination of Bogue sound, White Oak river, Brown sound, New river and their tributaries, and canvassed the territory, respecting present condition and practicability of navigating these waters with steamboats, and beg leave to report as follows: BOGUE SOUND. From Beaufort harbor to Swans-boro, at Bogue inlet, through the route of Bogue souud is 25 miles. There i.s good navigation all the way for 4 feet draught except on Goose creek shoals, where there is but 2 to 21 feet. These shoals ex tend from Sanders' creek to Pigott's wiud mill, lor three miles, are lumpy and irregular iu character, and to remove them, giving a uniform draught of four feet from Swansboro to Beaufort, would re quire dredging only at intervals along the three miles, involving but a trifling outlay.

The bottom is of such character that a channel-way cut through would be permanent. These shoals occur where the in-flowing tides through Beaufort and Bogne inlets meet, and begin fif teen miles from Beaufort bar, seven miles fiom Bogue. bar. Bogue sound proper continues for four miles west northwest Jrom Swansboro, extena-iug to Bear inlet, and is navigable this portion of the route for vessels! drawing three leet. BOGUE SOUND TEIBUTAB.IES.

Broad creek, fifteen miles from Beaufort, is navigable one mile for 2 feet draught. Goose creek, about 18 miles from Beaufort, is shoaly; freights lightered in and out. Queen's creek is one mile west from Swansboro and is navigable eight miles for 2i feet, to Hatchelrs land ing, only about 300 yards from the Swansboro and Jacksonville rood, and the article of crude turpentine alone which comes out of this tribu tary aggregates 2,000 barrels annually, to say nothiug of cotton and other products. WHITE OAK RIVER. From Swansboro, the mouth of the river, to the present head of navigation at Stony shoals, is between 25 aud 30 miles, and there is a draught of 3 to 4 feet practicable ut the shoalest point.

This river is very deep and bold except through the Oyster rock shoals near Swansboro. The present head of navigation practicable for steamboats, without any improvement whatever, is the head of tide water, within three or four miles of Mavsville, in Jones county, and within twelve miles of Polloksville, on Trent river. An appropriation of ten thousand dollars would open a deep channel-way through the Oyster rock shoals, at the mouth of the river, remove all obstructions and overhanging trees, enabling steamers of four feet draught to as cend to Smith's Bridge, at Mays ville, on the main road from New Berne to Swansboro and Jackson ville, and ten thousand dollars more would develop ten to twelve feet through Bogue inlet at the mouth of the river, to the head of tide water. WHITE -OAK RIVER TRIBUTARIES. Hollaud's creek, 4 miles from Swansboro, feet draught 1 miles.

Hargett's creek, 5 miles from Swansboro, 2 feet draughtl miles. Hadnott's creek, 6 miles from Swansboro, 2 feet draught 2 miles. Koouce creek, 7 miles from Swansboro, 2 feet draught 1 mile. Webb's creek, 7 miles from Swaus-boro, 2 feet draught miles. Grant's creek, 12 miles from Swansboro, is navigable miles r.

1 I 1 Kir 4 leer, ana maites in to 11.11111 few hundred yards of the New Berne and Swansboro road. There are other smaller tributary streams and swamps, all abounding in limitless supplies oi timber; pine lor lumber, cypress for shingles, oak and ash for staves, etc. All along White Oak river, Bogue sound aud their tributaries the lands are largely under cultivation, the farms are productive, the section populous and the aggregate outgoing aud in coming freights to be moved of im mense volumes, the article cotton alone being estimated at from 6,000 to 7,000 bales. BROWN SOUND. AND TRIBUTARY.

This sound begins at Bear inlet, four miles from Swansboro, is a continuation ot the Bogue sound water-way, and extends for nine miles to Silas' bay, a connection of Cedar point bay. It is navigable for 2A feet to Hurst's landing, a distance of six miles, aud to within five miles of New river. One shoal of less than sixty feet across, the "Stand baek," where the tides from Bear and Brown inlets meet, is the only obstruction to 3.J or 4 feet navigation from Swansboro to Hurst's landiiig. Its tributary is Bear creek, navigable for four feet, four miles, to Willis' landing. Lands under cultivation on both sids, farms productive and the section populous.

The aggregate of crude, turpentine auiiually shipped out ot Bear creek was given to me at 3,000 barrels. NEW KIVEE. Passing from Brown sound into Silas' and Cedar point bays, some three or four miles of almost continuous cultivated farms, we entered New river. From the bar at Big island to Bryan's landing, the present head of practicable steamboat navigation, is about 37 miles, and open all the way to 4J feet draught of water. New river pre sents the tiuest held for easy and profitable steamboat navigation I have ever seeu in the South Atlantic States.

From "the. rocks," a series of oyster rook shoals occurring about one mile from the main bar the river is a wide and deep estuary to the "Narrows'' or where it branches off into the northeast, northwest aud southwest prongs; the northwest being the main brauch leading up past Jacksonville to Tar and Bryan's landings, thence sonit thirteen miles into the neighbor-howl of Richlands, perhaps the most fertile section this side of the Mississippi bottoms and Yazoo valley. New river from the 4iNar-rowst' up is much like the "Black-water" navigation from Fraukliu depot, in Virginia, to the Chowan, and with the overhanging trees removed would present a river from Tar landing as far up as I could ex Vcnlcdi HOGSHEAD STAVES, Ion, four Inrhra wld. on Im Mirk PrlM is 10 130 per long dallrerad at Xw Bern. augS-wlra ELI JR.

Skptuibib 10th. 1883. Ed. Journal Some weeks ago we bought a lot of Extra Coarse Granulated Sugar, which was of very high quality and beautiful grain and color, and offered to our trade as a'goods of superior quality, and because of the size of its grain and its beauty it was suspected of being impure, as several lots were returned to us. We then wrote to the manufacturer's' agents, to enquire into the matter, and received from them the letter printed below.

We also enquired of our soda water manufacturers, three of whom had used the sugars, and they all pronouneed it superior in every way to the ordinary. This convinced us we continued to sell it, but wc find that some of our customers still do not buy sugar of us as before and it is to convinee these, and all others, that our aim is to sell only the best of everything, and that we do not now nor have we ever sold a single pound of anything but pure goods to any person in this city, and every one admits that for general ex cellence our stock is not surpassed that our variety is tho largest, our prices the most reasonable, and our goods the most select. It will be remembered that before our opening here, just one year ago, there was never a pound of Granulated Sugar sold for 10c. He made that the price, and sold the best goods at that price, and have kept it ho ever since. Wc publish below letters from Wm rainier, A.

FAXjua. Ulronlcls is' a long list of letters porportina; to tell who ia the choice of the people of both parties for naxt Governor. If the solid troth was known it would be found that these letters express the opinions or choice of bat few more than the writers. The letter from Colnm ous county undoubtedly comes nearer the truth than any other. It is in these words: "Nobody has given the subject any attention; no, hardly a thought." This is undoubtedly true of the masses of the people of North Carolina.

One hot political campaign is enough to last them for two years. They want to rest and cool off, and devote a little time to agricultural parsoits and the education of their children. It is time enough to say who the people want when they meet in convention for that purpose. No oue man in any one county In the State can say with any certainty what man a majority of. the people, want for Governor." The reader of the CartmicZd know aboot as well now who is the choice of the people for Governor as they did before the publication of these letters, though we admit that the plan is a good one for manufacturing pa bile sentiment.

TMB rntSI DISTRICT. The Nortk Carolinian, of Elizabeth City, thinks tbejiolding of the election in the' new district to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon W. F. Pool is unjust and editor of ibat paper has had the record looked ap and finds several precednts for electing in the old district where vacancies occurred terthe redistricting. This, it seems to us is the common sense view.

If it is law and right to hold the election In the new district, then it is possible for' North Caro lina to have representatives in the. Dresent Congress instead of nine. Again, Bertie county had no voice in the 'election of a member for the 2nd district, and if it is deprived of the right of voting to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Pool, it will be without a repre-sentative, while the county of Carteret will have two representatives. Ir the, coming Negro National Convention, when it assembles, shall prove to be a fairly represen tative body, great interest will be felt in its Twenty years of experience in the duties and op portunities Of citizenship should do something toward solving the problem thrust upon the conn try by emancipation and negro suffrage.

It may be truthfully said. that the negro Tote, steadily cast for the Be publican has that party ia power. Without the ne- gro vote, it' is in a hopeless minor North and South. Thus it happens that the political reaction, which after the war. if men had had their way, would have again intrusted the government in the hands of the Democracy, has been stayed and postponed." It is a question upon which the action of the convention msy throw some light, whether the negro eloment will eontinne to tar the way to a salutary- change in the control of national affairs, or whether the time has arrived when the negroes shall begin to think for themselves and divide their votes upon dividing views, of The present condition of affairs in which the party denomination' in great and populous States is made to depend apoa the action of a small body of mainly who are inflneaced in their political action rather by prejudice than principle, has BBdeniable eleraeota of danger.

It is not good for the negro, for the Eepubikan party, nor for the country, that the present political status of the African element should be cannot make a good citizen of the negro nntil there is political assimilation. He most be made to know the difference between his party and his country, or else his party will be left in the lurch and bis country lose confidence hi the quality of his citizenship. Gotkbsok BtnxEa has nominated a negro lawyer to a Judgeship in Massachusetts, not so much, it is supposed, to please the negroes as to worry4 the swallow tails. If the' Executive Council rejects the nomination, it will offend a large body of voters; if it approves, it will offend a large body of voters. In either ease, however, the cunning Butler sees his advantage.

Gsoxas M. Robeson, Secretary ef the Navy under President Grant, in a lately published letter insists that "Republican principles are essential to the prosierity of the country." There is no better proof of what he says than the success of Mr. Robeson, who grew rich in office. "A t. mental growth," says an exchange, "Implies a change or mind." If this be true of growth, it is in a like sense true of decay.

Thus is Gov. Holden and P. H. Winston's recent political tumbling accounted for. On the same night the frost laid oat the cucumber crop in Wisconsin, the Are destroyed a great pickle factory in Cincinnati.

If we are out of pickles next wiuter, we shall be in a pickle. Some folks at Chatata, a station on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, near Cleveland, concluded to get a living by suing the road on all sorts of flimsy pretexts. The company has concluded to adjust the matter by taking away the Chatata coal water tank, side track and station. Res alt some very long and of a minimum deptn ot ten to twelve feet. The only obstruction to good steamboat navigation from Bryan's landing'to the Doctor's bridge, near Richlands, is found in sunken logs, felled tree tops and overhanging trees, which a small government appropriation would suffice to remove, and which done would open up one of the most important short lines of water transportation east of the Mississippi river and South of the Chesapeake bay.

New river is remarkable from the fact that it begins and ends in the same county, Onslow so that it is really a deep estuary with its numerous tributaries as follows: NEW RIVER TRIBUTARIES. Court House bay, 4 miles from the bar, navigable 1 mile for 4J feet. Stone's bay, 7 miles from bar, navigable 4 miles for 10 feet. Persimon bay, 9 miles from bar, navigable 1 miles for leet. French's creek, 12 miles from bar, uavigable 31 miles for 4 feet up to main road from Jacksonville to Snead's ferry.

Wallace's creek, 15 miles from bar, navigable 4 miles for 4A feet to Shipyard landing near main road. Northeast branch, 20 miles from bar, navigable 8 miles for 4J feet to landing 400 yards from main road. Southwest branch, 20 miles from bar, navigable 6 miles for 4A feet to Sandling's landing. Mill creek, at Jacksonville, 25 miles from bar, navigable 2 miles for 2 ieet to Uovernor Dudley plantation Blue creek, 2 miles above Jacksonville, navigable 4 miles for 4. feet to Blue creek landing, near main road.

WHAT IS PRESENTED TO VIEW. There is thus presented, in the present unimproved condition of Bogue and Brown sounds and White Oak river and their tribu taries, 86 miles of a minimum draught of 2 feet navigation; and in New river 71 miles of a minimum draught of 4 feet." Develop maximum draught of 7 to 8 feet in New and White Oak rivers, through Cedar Point and Silas' bays, Brown and Bogue sounds, which is easy and practicable with a small ex penditure of money, and you wonld have a magnificent system of river and inland navigation of 140 miles, exclusive of tho tributaries, serving the entire county of Ons. low, and portions of Pender, Do plin, Jones and Carteret counties with convenient and cheap water transportation. Include the tribu taries and we have about 180 miles of water-way, on which I am assured there would be annually shipped by a system of good steamboat service not less than one hundred thousand barrels of crude turpentine, tar, rosin includ ing spirits in casks; 20,000 to 25,000 balas of cotton; other staple pro ducts in proportion; lumber, shingles, staves etc. in the greatest abundance; and immense quantities of fish and oysters.

Nor is the present development of this section fifty per cent of what it would be, given good transportation facilities, Here is an area of the most fertile portion of the State, embracing oue entire county and more or less of four others, equal in the aggregate to several, and larger than two or three States of this Union, in respect to its transportation precisely in the condition tbe world was be fore the discovery and application of steam-power. Tho point from which I write is fifty-two miles by laud from Wilmington, forty- seven from New Berne, the nearest markets for sale of pro duce or for supplies. By sailing vessels it is from two or three days, to six weeks, to either point. Under such circumstances only the staple products are raised for market. But the soil and climate are excellent for trucking; portions of this territory being from five to six weeks ahead of Norfolk, and singu larly free from frost or other chin atic vicissitudes.

PRESENT UNIMPROVED FACILITIES FOR STEAMBOAT NAVIGATION. Your prime object being the iin- proiement of navigation and the extension of the great Inland sys tern, the employment of steamers on these waters being merely the means to an end the idea being that the prominent public use of a line of navigation is the easiest and surest way to induce Congress to grant the necessary aid to improve it 1 have explored and examined these waters not less with reference to the present condition of their navigation and the practicability of such immediate steamboat ser vice than to future improvement and development. The only thing necessary for immediate steamboat service on these waters, to meet present transportation demands and demonstrate the necessity for improved navigation, is to procure and put on White Oak river, Bogue and Brown sounds aud their tribu taries a steamer of 2J feet draught or less: aud tor New river oue oi 4 feet draught, or under. As I have before advised you, it will be necessary, as well as good economy to have a depot of transfer at Big island, the mouth of New river, anil thence to Beaufort harbor run a well equipped and properly manned steamer of six or seven feet draught outside along the beach in what is caned unsiow bay. une river steamer of the draught of 41 feet will hardlv be able to do the "work required in New river from Big island to the head 01 navigation, while it is very likely that a steamer will find all she can do on White Oak, Bogue and Brown sounds and tributaries in gathering and concentrating the freights at Swansboro, in which event the Beaufort and Big island steamer could also work in aud out at Bogue inlet.

There is nothing impracticable about this outside navigation, though an inland route is always preferable. Capes Fear and Look Out cause a deep bay to exist along this coast, and the beach in most weathers is smooth, especially from New river inlet to Beaufort. Twenty-five miles from Beaufort occurs Bogue inlet; four miles further down is Bear inlet; aud New river inlet eight miles further; all good, safe harbors of refuge. For convenient reference the distance from main bar to prominent points on New river is given as follows: From Bar to Cedar Point bay en trance one mile; to Marine's landing 4 miles; to Snead's ferry 5 miles; 10 Stone's bay 7 miles; to Persimon bay 9 miles; to French's creek 12 miles; to Wallace's creek 15 miles; to Northeast and Southwest branches 20 miles; to Jacksonville 25 miles; to Tar landing 32 miles; to Bryan's landing 37 miles; to ltichlands 50 miles.

Mr. Dennis Jones on river lost amnle last week by accident, very suddenly. He bad been driving the animal, and pat him in the enclosure after taking the harness off.
