This is the new City laid of by the shepard s
Point Land Campany," at the terminus of the At
lanic and North Carolina Rail Road, at Beaufort
Harbor n. C., Immediately at the Atlantic Ocean.
The various Reports of the L. ;. Coast Suryt y
establish the great excelences OF this larbor for
facility of entrance, depth of water and security
from wind or wave, whilst Fort Macon completely
commands the entrance.
The interior communications by water and land
rlust make this great Commercial City. The
vast productions of the fertile valleys of the Roam
oke, Tar and Neuse Rivers and the commerce of
those great inland seas-the Albemarle, Curntuck,
CraOtan and PamIco Sounds, will reach this fine
HarbOr through Core Sound on the north whilst
Bogue Sound will bear on its bosom the agrlcultur
al products, lumber, naval stores and line ship TIM
Der OF the regions lying south.
The A. SE n. &. Rail Road which will be ready
for use by the first of January next, passes through
the entire length of the City to It's wharf in Is feet
water at low tide, and connects with the great N
&. Rail Road tot which it is continuation) at
The N. c. Rail Road, among the best in the
Union, 223 miles long, is completed TO Charlotte,
where 1t connects through the South Carolina and
Georgia Rail Roads with atlanta and the south,
west; and by its western extension, now IN RAPID
progress It Is contemplated to reach the trade OF
Memphis and the Mississippi Valley by the net
Work of all the rail ways that connect at Atlanta,
Chattanooga, or with the East-Tennessee Rail
Road.
The Port of Beaufort, Chattanooga, Memphis
and St Diego in the Pacific, about the same
parallel of latitude and if that parallel be extend
ed across the Pacific, it will reach Shanghai, the
nearest great Port on the eastern Continent =
therefore, if the Pacific Railroad ever be construct
ed land that should be done forthwith why may not
this new City become the Atlantic mart Tor the
commerce OF the East Indies!
Two short Railroads will connect the two great
Coal Feds OF the State, lying on the north and
south of the North Carolina Railroad, with that
nTntlft aTlflN fpn
coal trade will be carried through the new city:
if so, may not Beaufort become great coallng
Port, not only for purposes ot commerce. but to
furnish the supplies TO steamers passing so near
The entrance going north and south and may not
the new city become that great "entre depot be-
tween the north and south, TO which our able and
Distinguished countTyman, Lieut.. Maury, refers
in his unrivaled Statesmanlike paper on the COM
merce of the Amazon, South America and the
Gulf of Mexico
The civ of Morehead is situated on beautiful
neck of land or dry pan almost entirely surround
ed with salt water: It's climate is salubrlOus ITS
sea breeze and sea bathing delightful; its drinking
water good and It's fine chalybeate spring strongly
impregnated with sulphur, will make II pleasant
watering place ,
As not lot has been or will be sold until the
dav of sale, all will have an equal chance to
yet the best lots and to suit themselves.
1t will be the first instance OF an entire new
city on the Atlantic coast being brought INTO
market at once and capitalists may never have
again such an opportunity tor good investments.
for great city must and will be built at ths place.
