For the Journal.

MEssRs EDIToRs-In the Journal of the 18th
instant, there is communication signed by "Holly
Shelter who wishes to hear from his friends in Ons
low. |, like sHolly Shelter" am not much in the
habit of trespassng upon the patience of your read
ers, but, he requests it, with your permission will
tax them with few remarks.
1t would have been better, think, if Holly Shell
teri had reminded his friends in Onslow of 81 their
misfortunes in regard to the improvement of their
water courses" two years ago; and then, perhaps,
our members to the Legislature would have favored
the improvement of New River, and obtained an ap-
preparation for that effect But now their memories
need no jogging, for have six candidates for the
Legislature, and all Internal Improvement men,
at least so far as New River is concerned.
The people in Onslow are, at this time, too much
in the notion of clearing out the mouth of New River
to aid Holly Shelter " in building Plank Road to
connect New River with Holly Shelter Creek Be-
sides, think it would not pay that though would
enhance the value of real estate along the route and
pay small profit in carrying produce, yet the
profits arising therefrom would repay the cost
to build it. True, make large quantity of pro-
duce for market but it is not waggoned the greater
part is shipped and the freight from Tar Landing
to Wilmington is but trife more than it would be
to carry it to Musterfeld Landing, Holly Shelter
Creek: and then, when at chesterfield Landing, we
are but few miles nearer Wilmington than we were
at Tar Landing.
We folks in Onslow know but little about Plank
Roads, except the information which Holly Shell
ter" has given US; that the to connect the wa
ter courses above mentioned, will cost about one
thousand dollars per mile, and that is enough tc
brighten us, unless Holly Shelter will convince
of the utility of the project.
"Holly Shelter" says that his friends in Whining
ton have built and fitted up couple of beautiful lit
tie Steamers to run up the North East But says
he, 4" we cannot give them employment, unless Ou1
friends in Onslow will aid u.s. Now am afraid VIC
cannot aid him much. g New River is beautiful
River, with high bluffs splendid FARMS and the best
timber for ship-buildng and highly susceptible Of
Improvement And how much better it would be
for the people of Onslow county to improve their
river, which would cost about twenty-five thousand
dollars have these beautiful little steamers running
up their still beautiful river where they could
get sufficient employment, and then Holly Shelter
could bring his produce to Tar Landing and ship it,
and the freight his turpentine per BARREL would
only be about twenty twenty-five cents. Just thinA
Of that! OSMOND.

Public SncnkinR.

On Tuesday evening last at o'clock, THOMAS H.
WILLIAMS Esq. one of the candidates for the Sheriff
atty addressed his felow-citzens in the Market
House We heard only part of Mr.. Williams
remarks which seemed to be conceived in spirit of
courtesy towards his opponents. The audience was
very respectable
At eight o'clock on the same evening, VIM. HILL,
Esq., one of the candidates for the Legislature de-
livered an address in the Court House. Mr.. Hill
conrasted the course of the two national parties up
on the subject of slavery, and then adverted to the
position occupied by the Gubernatorial candidates in
North Carolina respectively. He pointed to Gov
MANLYs position in favor of the abolition of the Fed
ora basis proved by the evidence of five respecta-
BILE men, and asked whether, in view of this state Of
the facts any Eastern man would vote for him. The
address seemed to give full satisfaction to very re-
spectacle audience.
Wei had almost forgotten to state that on Saturday
last short discussion took place at Masonboro
Sound, between VIM. HILL and GEORGE DAVIS, Esqs
We had not the pleasure Of being present but learr
from those who were that MIR. HILL fully sustained
himself and that the Democratic suffered moth
ing by the discussion.

A Public square In wilmington.

During the burning heats which have prevailed
for so large portion of the present summer, we have
been made painfully conscious of the want of some
sort of public square, other place of resort in
the town of Wilmington The weary invalid in vain
seeks for some green and shady spot, where he may
imbibe health from the cooling breeze, or refresh
his eye with the soft verdure of trees and flowers
The constant sand is totally unreeved, at least so
far as the public is concerned and the town is grow
ing up wilderness of streets and houses, without
anything which may answer it in place of lungs.
1t is unnecessary to point out the effect which a
public square would have in improving the appear
ance of the town to say that it would be an ad-
diton to health and comfort; this all will admit
We think it is equally beyond question, that the
sooner some movement is made towards obtaining
such place the better, every day will enhance
the difficulty and expense. We presume that now
it could be obtained and fitted up at expense COM
paratively trifng while, in few years, when the
town becomes closely built up, it will have be-
come almost impossible
We merely throw out these hasty suggestions,
hoping that some one better acquainted with the
subject, will take it up. 1t is one well worthy the
attention of our people, and think is the time
to agitate it.

GEN. TAYLoR's PRoPERTY-We regret to see it
stated in letter to the n. York Express that Gen
Taylors family are not likely to be comfortable
in pecuniary point of view, as was generally sup
posed He left will. We subjoin the following
extract from the letter referred to:
"When he left for Mexico, it is stated, that in
three sealed letters, he left directions for the man
agement of his property in of his death there
in which supposed to be will, and these three
letters not opened till after his burial here but
no will amongst them, and the directions applied
to a property which is now almost wholly changed
in its form.
Indeed, his family now have no home, and there
fore, Mrs Taylor, it is supposed, will not return to
Louisiana. His plantation the Mississippi has
been sold since he here to enable him to pur-
chase a sugar plantation below so that that home is
lost. Previously however, he had purchased anoth
er, midway plantation, but that has turned out to
be very improbable piece of property, making no
crops, in consequence of being flooded repeatedly
Then the homestead is gone to make payment
on a sugar plantation which something like sew
enty eighty thousand dollars must now be due
and the middle plantation is under water. Proba-
bly, some of the Presidential salary was relied upon
to meet the further payment the sugar plantation
but that salary is gone You see from these gene
al facts that Gen. Taylor died in very unfortunate
time for the interest of his family. He had Prev
ously to Col Clisss marriage with his daughter SET
tied upon her considerable sum of money
GPR JAMES EsQ-The Nerr York Mirror says;
we had the pleasure of visit from the distinguished
author, G. ?. R. James, who is very dlnerent iook
ing person from the picture we have seen of him in
our : minds eye" He is little under the
medium height, and little over the medium thick,
ness apparently not forty years DID, with an
eagle eve splendid head and slight sprinkling OF
grey hairs hale, hearty, robust looking English
gentlemen, all of the modern time.
Mr. James contemplates taking house somewhere
on Long island which will be his head quarters dur
ing his sourn in this country. He has brought Wltn
him his entire family. consisting of seven persons
and intends to travel through all tho different sec
tions of the Union. He is everywhere welcomed oy

Congress-.

AS yet actually nothing has been done in either
House of Congress. The compromise bill seems as
far from its final vote ever and much farther from
its passage We much doubt whether it can pass at
all indeed, pretty confident that it cannot.
The appointment of Mr.. WEBSTER to the Office of
Secretary of State has deprived it of of its props
and, what is of moment in the present stage of
the business of one of its votes, it is pretty
tain that Mr. WINTHROP who takes Mr. WEBsTERs
place. will vote against the bill. Just now, the most
immediate danger arises from the Texan boundary
question Mr. BRADBURY introduced an amendment
to the compromise bill providing that the settlement
of this question should be referred to six commission
ers three to be appointed by the President, by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate and three
by the State of Texas, in such the Legis-
lature of that State may indicate. This amendment
lost by tie vote. 1t has since been renewed in
another form, and may yet be adopted. If the au-
thortative revelations of the Washington correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia North american, in regard
to Gen TAYLoRs intentions this question be true,
his death, however much it may be lamented 9TH
er accounts, most signal blessing to the coun-
try. Had such course been pursued as is there in
Dictated the results must have been disastrous in the
extreme The first collision between the troops of
Texas and those of the United States, under Major
MONROE, would have been the signal for civil war,
the end of which no could see. Speaking &C
cording to the suggestions of human reason, it would
seem if the death of Gen. TAYLOR intended as
special nterpostion of Providence for the salvation
of the country from civil war and disunion.
PS. It would seem that the bill is not yet dead
On Tuesday last, an amendment adopted in re-
lation to the Texas boundary which will secure the
vote of the two Senators from that State The amend
ment provides that the boundaries shall be settled by
joint commissioners, already mentioned, but thai
until the boundary be settled everything shall re-
main claimed by Texas This amendment passed
by two votes. Among those who voted for this a
mendment, we notice the name of General SHIELDS
which is gain made by the friends of the bill W.
know as little now of its fate motion tt
lay it on the table efectually killed. 1t may ye
pass the Senate by vote of two.

And still further the Banner says -

We assert and can proUe by hundreds, that Got.
Manly declarsd himself in faror Of excluding Slavery
from both California and NeU Merico; and yet he
attempts to make capital out of Mr. Reids vote on
the Oregon bill Oh consistency, thou hast never
made the acquaintance of Governor Manly.
In conclusion, we shall quote from the Ashville
Dollar News, Gov MANLY's organ in the Mountain
District. The News says:
"Months ago we said we would sustain the nomi-
nee of the State Convention, if he gave his support
to those constitutional reforms for which we have
ever been an humble advocate We believed, and
SO did almost every other man who looked through
dsinterested glasses, that Gov. Manly was opposed
to Free Suffrage. No other conclusion could be
drawn from his two years since. Well, the
/ Convention met-laid down certain principles among
them an acknowledgment of every freemans right to
be heard at the ballot box-and Gov. Manly, with
that patriotism and devotion to popular rights which
should govern every man claiming to be Republi-
can at once yielded to what he believed to be the
in the great work of constitutional reform and has
gone even beyond the platform of the Convention
and beyond what at first had reason to hope for
he is fdror Of change an the basis Of representa-
tion and the distribution Of the School Fund according

this report of his Salem Speech published in the
News of last week.
*The Commercial of the lst inst, says that the letter
should have been dated the h and that its date of the
18th was merely a typographical bunder The Commercial
should have made this correction sooner as had an oppor
tuny do thus have prevented ane
consequent criticism Without wishing TO cast any
reflections upon any remark that there is SUI
some mystery about the letter. it is minus post-marK
