The Eorth-Carolina statist and Magazine
of Useful Information.

FENBE Undersigned proposes to Publish in the
4 City of Raleigh, a semi annual JOURNAL, of the
above title, devoted exclusively to the dissemina-
ton of STATISTICAL INFORMATION.
The want of such a Journal is felt by every in
~telligent citizen, who desires to become at all ac-
qualnted with the resources of the State, our pres
ent condition, future prospects, &c, and by none
so much as cur Legislators.
That We have no regular system of statistics,
cannot be attributed to any want Of MATERIAL
There are large amounts of valuable and interes-
ting scattered through our Legislative
and Executive Documents ami Records, which, in
their present situation, for practical purposes, might
as we'll be in the Chinese language. Besides what
our Legislative archives contain, our newspapers
often publish valuable statistical information,
which is either lost, or if preserved by a very few,
is so announcement to find when wanted, that the
facts are soon forgotten. The same may be said of the
Reports and Statements from time to time made
by our incorporated companies IS, and others enga-
ged in Manufactures, Mines, Commerce, &c.
To collect these various items Of information,
and give them to the public in a shape easy Of re.
ference and for perpetual preservation, as well as
to gather from all available resources, every thing
bearing directly or indirectly on our wealth, pros.
perity and industry, is the design of the Journal
now offered for public patronage.
So far as the plan for conducting the anne ha:
been matured, the pages of the STATIST will be
devoted to the arrangement of such tables relating
to our Population, Agriculture, Commerce, Eduea
ton, Public improvements, Manufactures, Fishe
ries, Mines, and Social Statistics generally, as vii
present their condition., and our progress in each
1t is also designed to contain the Reports ICON
densed) of the public Treasurer, Commissioners o.
the Sinking Fund, Superintendent of commor
Schools, and all other State Officers and Boards
as also, Statements and Reports of the condition
and progress of the various Railroad and Naviga-
ton Companies.
The Statist win be put to press as soon as a suf

Land Warrants.

An important change is made IN this des-
crip,ion Of property, by the act Of Congress Of
June 30, 1853. They were formerly held as
real estate, and conveyed after forms prescrlb-
ed for reel estate; but this act converts them
into personal chat;eIs, and makes them sub
jcct in conveyance, assignment, &C., to the
laws governing personal property. In the
event Of the death Of the claimant, prior to
the issuing of the warrant, this act also pro-
vides that the title to the warrant shall then
vest in the widow, if one is lofts and, if not,
then il shall descend as other personal chat
tells to the other heirs or legatees.- Wash.
