We were proud to see this practical demonstration
OF the fact that in the Old North State are found
skillful hands to execute work needed at home and
sufficient State pride in the President and Directors

The result of our observations on the trip may be
summed up thus: We can build Railroads in the
South we can build engines to run on them, andw
can build coaches and cars for the transportation of
passengers and freight over them; and there is no
need for sending to the yankees for them any long
er, fact which we hope will be remembered by Gov

This is a good idea. We hope North Carolina may

many inducements to immigrants other portions

1t is most gratifying fact that emigration from

Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political
subjects. 1t is their Literary character which
gives them their chief value, and in that they
stand confessedly far above all other journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the fatherly
care of Christopher North, maintains its ancient
celebrity and is at this time unusually attractive
from the serial works of Bulwer and other litera-
ry notables, written for that Magazine, and first
appearing in its columns both in Great Britain
and in the United States. Such works as "The
Cations and "My New Novel," (both by Bull

other serials, of which numerous rival editions
are issued by the leading publishers in this coun-
try, have to be reprinted by those publishers
