FIRST FRUITS OF THE DEEP RIVER I'M
PRovEMENT.-It is with pleasure that we no
tice the arrival here On the evening of the 18th
ult., of the steamer Jno. H. Haughton, Capt.
Lannon's, the pioneer Steamer of the Deep River
improvement. The Haughton came from Fay
ettevile, with two lighters in a cargo OF 2200
bbIs. rosin. She is a snug little boat of the ca
pacity of 275 bbIs., and will ply regularly for
the present between this port and Averasboro'.
There are some 1900 bbls. naval stores at the
last named place and other places, now waiting
shipment.
Success to the Deep River improvement, it
has met with obstacles and difficulties, but, as
we hope and believe, has overcome them all.
When shall we see the productions of the
rich upper Counties burdening our wharves ?
When may we look for the first instalment of
coal p Wilmington Herald.
PoRcELAIN.-We understand the c~ontrac-
tors on the end of the Central Road from this
place to Goldsboro' have met with a serious
obstacle in laying the superstructure on a
100 Yards or so of the road a few miles below
Neuse river, that of a deep cut being through
q bed of porcelain clay, which is so soft and
mushy that the timbers upon it soon sink
out of .ght. It's depth has not been sounded,
and doubts are entertained whether substan-
tial works can be erected over it. Though 4 ii
may greatly embarrass the builders of the
road it may turn out to be a valuable disco
very, and good may come of evil.-Star.
MAGNEsIA.-In a cut on the Central Road
near Mount Moriah Church in this county,
we learn, a bed of Magnesia has been dis
covered. Some Jumps in a pure state have
been taken from it. North Carolina abounds
in almost every thing desirable for the sup
port and comfort of man.-StGr.
OPERATION OF THE LIQUOR Law IN Bos
ToN.-Joseph Turner has been convicted al
Boston, under the new liquor bill, of sellin:
a glass of mixed liquor. and fined $lO auc
costs, and held to bail in 1000 not to sell an
other glass for one year. Geo. Mason wa
fined 800 and costs, and sent to the House o
of Refuge for three months, for selling a glas
of Brandy. He was also fined $50 and cost
for selling a glass of gin, and $lO for selling
glass of wine, and put under $1,000 bail not t.
violate the law for ono year. He has ap
pealed.

Glorious News from New York.

The following letter from an esteemed friend,
was received just before putting our paper
to press. 1t communicates the glorious in
telligence of the triumph of Prohibition in
the great Empire State. Read it friends of
the cause in North Carolina, and nerve your
selves for the coming conflict:
DEAR GoRMAN:-The Prohibitory Law has pass
ed the Senate Of New York, by a wore Of 81 to IL II
There has been spirited, fierce and able opposition,
backed by trade, selfshness, money, &C., from the
first of the session; an opposition that has been
sleepless and ~untiring, throwing every possible OBJ
stacle in the way, clogging, choking, staving of,
amending and referring any thing to keep 1t doom;
but a majority of the members were sent there to
pass a "prohibiiory la,o" and ait had to be done"
or woe be to them. Last of all, a lot of Germans,
not able to read or write English, sent up their pro-
test against the law as unconstitutional" and
stating that they viii "resist" it! But let the devil
roar, his works though must be circumscribed, the
sooner the better. 1.-TWO murders here this week in
rum shops) The law is to go into effect the first of
December-Amen! Wake up now in the old North
elect your men, and redeem her! "GEEMES."

than can be found in the whole range of our
ecclesiastical writings. He has also harmonic

1t will hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organizations, believing that
the main Issues on which they have been ar

and that they arc now chiefly used by the Sec.

Liberty natural to the American mind, and to
subjugate tho American People to ite rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, it will yet
sympathize with those Of their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them to advance
the substantial interests Of the country, although
