The Cape Fear and Deep River Improvement.

We are happy to see that a movement in regard
TO this work has been made in the Legislature for
the purpose of having careful examination OF the
works by competent Engineer, who is to report
their condition. and the amount necessary to finish
them Something of good may grow out of this
At any rate we may be able to know where we
stand, and what to expect; for there is no use in
Disgusting the matter-we are perfectly at sea I'M
der present circumstances, nobody this way having
anv confidence or reliance in the representations OF
the present Engineer. We do know that the thing
is not finished nor likely to be; and we also Know
that more considerably more-money will be wan
ted and we do not want that additional money to be
expended as what has gone before it has been. The
fate of the work must depend in great measure
on the report of Maj. Gwinn, or such other compe-
tent Engineer as may make the examination 1t Is
to be hoped that the State will go into the addition
al amount requisite in the same proportion that she
did to the original siock-three.6fths. We have
strong hopes, approaching to confidence, that much
good may yet grow out Of the Improvement; but II
must be oyerhaulcd, and put upon such basis as
will give the public some we'll grounded assurance
instead of the state of muddiness and incertitude IN
which it has been kept all along. We think now
that our expressions of dstrust in the competence
the Engineering direction of the affair begin to b'
shared by everybody, pretty much

The Treasurer OF the State has received Il check for
ST AGO. il being six per cent dividend on the amount
of stock in which Virginia is interested in the Dismal
Swamp Canal. There is kewi:e larger amount pay
able 10 the United States Treasurer upon the
count. We venture the opinion that this is the only
work of improvement TO which these two governments
have subscribed whereby they have realized any pro-
fit. Generally speaking, their subscriptions turn out
a losing business
The transportation through the canal increasing
every year. and is evidence of the growth of agr-
culture in the eastern section of North Carolina The
amount of tolls for the past fiscal year, ending the last
of September, was S45,l19, an increase of nearly
$4,000 over any preceding year. The Board of Drec-
tors have wisely adopted resolution not to charge
toll upon lme guano, &C., when designed for the en-.
richment of the soil
For the purpose of showing the quantity produce
and timber shipped 10 port through this important
thoroughfare, we annex the following table of the
principal articles. The crop cut off by fresh
cts in the Roanoke last year, and think il probable
the amount will be doubled the present year. The
fisheries likewise unsuccessful, showing reduc-
ton of 1854 barrels from the season of 1851.

MIR. L. has given guarantee that he will manumit
the slaves after the termination of the legal processes
which have been or may be instituted with a view TO
test the validity of Judge Paynes decision. whenever
requested TO do SO by three Of the subscribers TO the
indemnity, viz: Judge Paine. Walter R. Jones, and
James Boorman. 1t is understood that if the manu-
mission were 10 be carried into effect now. it would
put end 10 the appeal which has been taken to The
Supreme Court of New York, and prevent appeal
to any higher tribunal: 1t appears that $3.50 more
