BEAUFORT
We made business trip to Beaufort last week,
where we spent two nights. We had no time to
devote to mere pleasure. and we're therefore pre-
vented from making such observations would en-
able to give Satisfactory description Of that in
seresting place. We cannot however refrain from
making few remarks.
Nature has done much for Beaufort; but, We say
it with no censorious spirit. the people have done
nothing for themselves. The town, generally speak.
ing, IN in dilapdated condition, yet as one recedes
from the river, he finds some neat dwellings. No
shade trees but very few, have been planted out,
and wherever one gees he is exposed to the rays of
q burning sun, but is famed by constant inland
breeze so strong to make it difficult at times i'm.
possible, to hoist his umbrella. The streets are
generally dirty and left Them so sandy as
to be almost impossible by pedestrians. We saw
no flowers, save few sun flowers that raised their
dropping heads above garden fence on Front Street
The town has three churches and good female
academy-the latter. in our opinion. badly located
in which good school is kept up; and VIC heard
the Principal, Mr.. Pool, highly spoken of as
Teacher.
OF the citizens Of Beaufort We must speak favor
ably. Af1able, courteous and communicative, they
know how to make a stranger feel at home. We

nifty to requite the kindness of our friend and
brother. j. Nichols, ESQ.,, Of the Journal We do
hope the citizens of Beaufort town we'll those
of Carteret and adjoining counties will duly appre-
ciate his iabors and give them an adequate reward
In Beaufort there are three good hotels at all of
which the guests are sum2tuously entertained.
MesTs. Whitfield Fender have united their houses
and the guests may eat at either house. but occupy
the room assigned him.. Mr.. Taylor's house is we'll
spoken Of and we'll patronize1 We stopped At
Whit6eId's took tea once at Pender's, and dined
once at Taylors; and at none of the places did
find the slightest cause CT complaint, If due allow
apce be made for The large number Of guests Eve
~ house was damned and every chamber crammed.
There could not have been less than 800 guests at
the several hotels during sejourn, and the num-
Der is likely to he kept up during the remainder Of
the season.
On our return, Saturday, we spent an honr or so
at Morehs ad Cy-where not much il yet to be seen.
A few temporary dwellings have been erected, and
. long aharf is rapidly approaching completion.
When this is done, vessels Of the largest size
load and unload at the wharf; and this city, with
Beaufort and Carolina City. will enjoy the advan:
tsges Of harbor almost unrivalled for safety and
convenience. During the sale, last week. lots were
sold at Morehead CITY to the amount of thirty FIVE
or forty Thousand dollars and. at Carolina City, to
the amount Of some twenty or twenty five thousand
dollars.
At Carolina City is the large and famous Hotel of
Messrs. Parrott Bright, formerly.of Lenoir Here
We spent night. with some fifty or seventy five
others. in pursuit Of business or pleasure. The
building Of this hotel gigantic enterprise sit
listed rs it is sand HILL with nothing hut woods
behind and the roaring ocean in front. The build
ing is three stories high, the main wing being 80 X
IS feet and with a wing extending back 40 y IS
feet. The whole building CO, rims upwards of 60
rooms and is surmounted by an observatory com.
handing view of the ocean as far as the eye can
reach, while Beaufort and Morehead City are dis.
tnctly in view. There is Ball Room 81 feet square,
and band of music is constantly in attendance for
the entertainment Of the guests. Boats are con-
stantIy in waiting to convey the guests to any point
they may desire. - -
Messrs Parrot & Bright deserve great credit for
their enterprise, and glad to hear that there
is every prospect Of its being amply rewarded.
They can now. we imagine accommodate 200 per-
sons. and already has every available of their
house been occupied. Long may it 30 continue. for,
If distinguished ibersty merits patronage, it can.
not be withheld from Messrs. Parrott & Bright.
