NAFlIA llON OF NEW NV Eli, &C.
In the Senate, Wednesday last, Mr. Mangum
presented memorial signed by three hundred citi-
zens of Onslow County, in this State, in favor ot
the improvement of the navigation of New River,
and the establishment of port of entry at Jackson
vile, Onsow. =
MI. NJ, in presenting tho petition, said i. was
signed by three hundred of the most respectable ct-
zens of the community in which they reside, in the
county of Onslow, North Carolina. 1t represented
that the river, which passes through that portion of
the State, is obstructed by shoals the point at which
it enters the county, and the petitioners pray that
small appropriation be made for the purpose of re-
moving these distractions. The petition sets forth
that, in that immediate vicinity, the waters are not
navgable for more than twenty miles, and that the
productions of turpentne. corn, cotton. and various
other articles, cannot be easily transported. He knew
this to be so, and that the land there as fertile
as that of any region in the country fhat part of
the country was most abundanty supplied alsosEith
naval stores Of every descrption-the finest forests,
the largest trees that he had seen except
the banks of the Cumberland-which were useless
on account of the difficulty in getting them to the
ocean, He thought that, if appropriations were ever
made, place could be found where the appropria-
ton, to the extent which asked, could be more
usefully made. Very little had been asked by this
portion of the country and they had uniformly re-
ceived less than any others. He trusted that the Pc
tition would NEE! with due and favorable consid-

He has done injustice to his State. proved himself

His collision with Kearney in califor.

new light. He was accused of d isobey-
ing the commands OF his superior, and
technically was so convicted on trial by
court martial demanded by himself.
But the country acquitted him, and al
though reprimanded by the President,
he was applauded by the people. We
were present at his trial IN Washington,
and saw him confront the witness for the
government IN the most frank and gall
liant style. cold Tom" sat by him as
counsel, and SOLITARY and alone' he en-
countered the craft of Kearney and the
contumely ola naval and military court,
prejudiced against the aspiring young
lieutenant, then luxurIating with the
rank OF Colonel. Dismissed from the ar

recommended his explorations on his
own account. He raised a company of
men and started for California by new
route, with exit Karson," his famous
old guide, at their head. Ten o: his
men he lost IN the mountains imbedded
in snow, and literally starving and freez-

reached San Francisco, and has been
spending the summer at the mines. In

commissioner under the late treaty with

His temperament is nervous, his couate-

intended as to induce the people to be-
lieve that the President, or any member
Of his cabinet, did give, or that could
