MURCHISON, Pres't. Not. 6, 1854. Wilmington Commercial copy twice, and forward ac Banking Capital. The Wilmington Herald copies from this paper a portion of the letter from a prominent member of the Legislature, and adds, "This Legislator's estimate of au increase of Banking Capital throughout the State is a very moderate one eery moderate, indeed! What would be 81,500,000 additional Banking Capital, 'distributed with over North Carolina, in view of the awakened enterprise; increased and largely increasing commerce; the wealth of the State, and the general spirit of improvement which pervades her limits? A mere drop in the bucket.

The State's Directors were not announced. A resolution was adopted to transport guano and other fertilizers at reduced rates. The prospects of the road (says the Star,) are quite flattering, the income has been greatly increased, and there is every indication that its business will continue to increase. Besides paying a large amount for extraordinary expenses, the road, as has been before stated, has been able to declare a dividend of six. per cent.

We doubt not it will be able to do much better in the future, though this is doing very well under the circumstances. Caution. We think it but right to caution our readers against a very promising advertisement headed "American Artist's Union," in which 'J. W. Holbrooke, Secretary," proposes to make sundry "gifts" of pictures, lots and houses in and near New York, and $30,000 in cash, in various sums; all of which he is to do after he BOOTS AND SHOES.

That is to say, this Mr. Holbrooke, Secretary, of whom nobody perhaps ever heard before, is to be trusted with $250,000, with the faint hope that he will, as he promises to do, not only furnish now pictures worth $250,000, but will afterwards distribute, by a sort of lottery, (itself utterly unlawful in New York,) another $250,000 in pictures, money and real estate! We received Mr.

Holbrooke's advertisement, with a Circular offering us $25 to insert it six months. But, seeing nothing in it that looked honest, and fearing that many a poor and unthinking person might be tempted to throw away a dollar upon such a humbug, we threw the Circular and advertisement into the fire. To our surprise we find that many other papers, and among them several of our most respectable exchanges, have published the advertisement. We therefore think it a duty, not only to refuse to give it currency, as we did, but also to expose it. We have no doubt that the whole affair is an arrant humbug, a cheat, as it is unquestionably unlawful.

The laws of New York prohibit lotteries, in every shape, as demoralizing, even when regulated by law and under responsible management. How much more such a lottery as this, where the publio has no security for the forthcoming of any of the prizes. It has every appearance of one of those swindling operations with which New York abounds. We regret that Dundee, 14 a lo pr. Dnp.

In 1835, Cumberland paid a State tax of $2,267 63. In 1854, she pays 86,535 11; and we believe that under the operation of a new assessment her taxes will be considerably increased.

The proper mode, he says, is to use these powerful fertilizers once, and then follow with the less active manures, straw, clover crop, or stable manure, because these contain a greater variety or number of the elements of food which plants require.

The Mails. The South Carolina Rail Road Company, on the 1st refused to receive the U. S. Mail, the Department not having acceded in 18o0, $8bl 40. Whilst under a special act for re-assessing town real estate, Wilmington pays in 1854, $1946 83; while all the rest of the land in the county only pays 8508 87; and the whole State tax paid by that county is $10,070 28, or one-twentieth of the entire State tax.

Which shows how greatly Rail Roads add to the taxable property of the State, and arc profitable even when they declare no dividends, provided real estate is enhanced in value, as in the case of Wilmington, which in 1835 paid a land tax upon $400,000, and in 1854 pays a land tax upon $3,500,000, an increase greater than the amount expended in building her road. But the road now divides 7 per cent, per annum, besides paying off this year upwards of $100,000 of the outstanding debt. Let Cumberland and the whole State learn a lesson from these facts.

I received a request in substance on Monday week last, from a respectable gentleman and boat owner of Fajujtteville, that I would cause a portion of the water toYe let off from Jones's pool, so as to enable several boats to reach Fayetteville. Accordingly, at some inconvenience and expense, I caused the stop planks at Jones's dam to be raised the next day, Tuesday, and kept up until the next Saturday following, when the head of water was exhausted.

The sWp planks were then put in, but the wickets were opened and kept so until Wednesday, when the water again flowed over the dam, since which time the due and natural quantity of water has been flowing. If the irregularity in the flow of water caused by this state of facts operated any injury, the gentleman making the request ought surely to take his share of responsibility and blame. And those who intended to do favors may be more cautious hereafter how they subject themselves and the interests they have iu charge to unjust rebuke and censure. I am, respectfully, yours, ALEX.
