This is the new Cay laid off by the "ShePard's
Point Land Canpany,n at the terminus of the At
lanc and North Carolina Rail Road, at Beaufort

The various Reports of the u. :. Coast Survey
establish the great exec llencies OF this Harbor, Tor
facility of entrance, depth of water and security
from wind OF wave whilst Fort Macon completely
commands the enhance. .r
The inieiIor communications by water ard land
must make this great CommeIcil Il City. The
vast productions OF the fertile valleys of the Roam
Oke, Tar and Neusc Rivers and the commerce OF
those great inland scas-the Albemarle, Curntuck,
Cra0tan and PamltcO Sounds, will reach this hne
Harbor through Core Sound on the north, whist
Bogue Sound will bear on lis bosom the agrIcultur-
al products, lumber naval stores and line ship TIM
Der OF the regions lying south.
The A. az N. e.. Rail Road which will be ready
for use by the first OF January next passes through
the entire length of the City 10 its wharf III l8 feet
water at low rIde, and connects with the great N.
[. Rail Road (ot which 1t is contlnuauon) at
GOldsbaro'.
The N. c. Rail Road, among the best in the
Unlon, 223 miles long, is completed TO Charlotte,
where it connects through the South Carolina and
Georgia Raj Roads with Atlanta and the south
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 tie East-Tennessee Rail
Road
The Port of Beaufort, Chattanooga, Memphis
and st. Diego in the Pacific, are about the same
parallel of latitude; and if that parallel be extend
ed across the Pacific, it will reach Shanghai the
nearest great Port the eastern Continent =
therefore, II the Pacific Railroad ever be construct,
ed land that should be done forthwith why may not
this new City become the Atlantic mart for the
commerce OF the East Indies? H..
Two short Railroads will connect the two great
Coal Fields OF the State, lying on the north and
south of the North Carolina Railroad, with that
road and 1t Is confidently expected that vast
coal trade will be carried through the new city:
if so, may not Beaufort become a great cOaling
Porr, not only for purposes OF commerce. but to
furnish the supplies to steamers passing so near
the entrance gong north and south and may not
the new city become that great "eEtre depot" be-
tween the north and south, to which our able and
distinguished countryman, lieut. Maury, refers
in his unrvaled Staesmanllkc paper on The COM
merce of the Amazon, South America and the
Gulf of Mexico?
The city of Morehead is situated on beautiful
neck of land or dry plain, almost entirely surround
ed with salt water: its climate is salUbf!ous Its
sea-breeze ard bathing delightful its drinking
water good, and It's fine chalybeate spring strongly
impregnated with sulphur, will make it pleasant
watering place. -..
dav of SALE all will have equal chance to
yet the best lots ard to suit themselves. f..
1t will be the fist 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 for good investments.
for great city must and will be built at this place
