much added to the currency large the product of
the labor of few hundred men, in a country almost
unknown previous to the discovery Of its mineral

LUNATIc, ASYLUM.

During the past week the Commissioners Of the
Eunaiic Asylum, Messrs. Morehead, Cameron, Wat
son, Graves, Mordecai, and Hinton were all in alter
dance in this City, and were engaged for several t'
in their responsible and important duties. We lean
that the country around Raleigh was examined with
much care and attention, with the view to site TOT
the location of the Asylum but that no site v"
fixed upon. .
The Board, we understand. will meet again in the
Fail and in the mean time the Commissioners herr
Messrs. Hinton, Watson, and Mordecai, have been
requested to give attention to the question 0
location, and report accordingly. Gov. MOrehsad
has also been requested to visit of the Northern
AsyIums, for the purpose of obtaining information
on the subject.
This, at present, was all the Board could do, as =
will be some time yet before the Asylum fund will
be in hand.
