in the last Fayetteville Carolinan, communication
from j. H. Foy Esq, Richards, Onslow county, in
which that gentleman seems to labor under the i'm
preston that certain remarks in this paper, in July
last, under the caption g Wilmington and Beaufort,
were intended as criticisms piece from his pen
in our paper, on the proposed Road from Fayetteville
TO Beaufort Harb0r. The only difficulty about Mr.
Foy's communication in the Carolinan is, that it
appears to be founded upon a total misrepresentation
that really innocent of any criticism up
on his letters, published in our paper, of
anything else in the world. 1t is also great mis-
conception on the part of those who seem to think
that inimcal to, desire to hurt, Beaufort
We do no such thing. The time may come when
Beaufort will grow up and become a considerable
pace-so let it be; but, until it has something to
ose it will certainly be out of power to hurt it,
as it is foreign to wish to retard It's growth We
only ask of the friends of Beaufort that in their zeal
for their faVore project they will be as just towards
we are inclined to be towards them-that they
will be contened to ask for such works they think
their own interests and those of Beaufort demand,
without joining in the effort to ignore the existence
of Wilmington OR the possibility of its growth and
expansion. We would venture to remind our trends
that real estate investment of three TO four millions

nications with active and interprlsing population

from rivalship not yet in existence! Nothing at
ALL but we haze right to protest against present
dspaTagement and we do so-not attacking others,
but as defending ourselves We oppose nobody save
where their course tends to do us injustice; and,
strange as it may seem after all that has been said
about it, not word against any Beaufort scheme has
appeared in our columns al any time--not a single
word Nor have we pretended to conceal the fact
that there are portions of State whose develop

Mr. Foy, and others similarly situated, TO get such
outlet, is right proper and commendable and we bid
them God speed in every laudabe effort 10 bene'

A disgraceful sectarian riot took place at Newark

in New York and Brooklyn also took part in the pre-
