TEE SUPREME COURT OF NORTH -CARoLNA.-Very
few persons have an idea of the extent to which the
decisions of our highest Court are consulted as au-
thorty in other States Within the past few months
we have filled orders from New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee,
amounting in the aggregate to hundreds of volumes
of these Reports.-Fay. Observer
The foregoing from the OIserrer, expresses what
we have long had reason to believe was the estima
ton in which the North Carolina Reports were held
abroad Recently, in the trial of sic!lles in Wash
ington, the North Carolina Reports were quoted at
length, and relied upon by eminent counsel as
standard authority.
And why should it be otherwise? The return of
the "Old Chief" to the BENCH with undiminished
powers, associated with that great light of urispru
dence the present Chief Justice and the patient
pure and learned Battle has given the Court in these
latter days strength, cearness Of analysis and of
Judgment and an authority never surpassed at any

discover in this estimate similar errors to those
known to have been committed by those who esti-

fore its passage the total amount above stated would

1t will be observed that the effect of this bill is
to continue the pensions that may be allowed to
soldiers living to their widows when they shall
hereafter become such, well to grant pensions
to those who are now widows. It is impossible to
estimate the additional amount which will ultimate
ly have to be paid to this class; but, Judging from
the operation Of the acts for the relief of widows of
revolutionary soldiers it will be by no ncon
siderable
Che present annual expenses of the several asen-
cies is about $24 900. The passage of the proposed
bill would create so large number of pensioners
the several States and Territories to demand the
creation of many new agencies; and should think
the expense of maintaining them might and pGoba-
bly, would, go up to about 5000, ,000 per annu,n.
1t is not easy to say to what extent the clerical
force of this bureau could be increased with adva7-
tage, in the event of the proposed bill becoming
law. presume, however, it could be doubled but
the increase in the contingent expenses Of the Office
would be in a larger proportion. The present ex-
pense of the regular force of the Office and contin-
gencies is about S155, geo per annum; the addi-
cal force including office rent, printing, SC, would
not be less than $4,000 per annum for some years
to come.
On the whole, should say, in answer to the spe-
cc questions of the committee of the Senate that
l. The amount it would be necessary to appro-
pirate at the present session would be about $29,-
76O71O.
@ That the average sum annually requisite there
after would be about $S,SO0,0OO for ten years.
g. That the aggregate sum necessary to extin.
guish all claims that may be preferred under the
bill will not be less than t10S 100000.
f. That the increase in the clerical force of the
office will be about double the present number, and
the expense Of such increase, including contingent
cies and the compensation OF agents for paying pen
sions, about S355, 900 per annum.

My DEAR SIE: Your favor Of the Cd inst. is in

which you alludc, and the results of which you
wish was extended over or 10 miles in length
along the vallies of Buffalo and Check Creeks. The
principal object of this examination was 10 ascertain
the probabilities for the continuation of the coal OF

ing its presence absence is the deep alluval bot
tom winch overlies the belt zone which the coal
formation should occupy. There natural ex-
posures of rock except those which ovcrlie or I'M
derle the states which contain the coal seams. The
examination, therefore, has not resulted in ositige
disclosures which prove the presence or absence Of
the mineral in question; and there is no method of
settling the question satisfactorily without the a,-
ger. Thus much, determine, the full developement

find the mineral resources of the valies alluded
to of considerable Importance. The soil is suscep-
tble of high cultivation and may be made highly
productive, and indeed is so now. The iron ores
of this belt are also important and it appears that
the haematites which occupy certain relation to
the coal seams present. But the iron which
belong to the older slates and which within two
miles of Little River are inexbaustibe This belt of
country then considered agricultural and manu-
featuring highly important and presents
weghty reasons for achange ofroute for the Cheraw
and CoalfeId Railroad Inaddtion to these arguments
for the proposed change, it is certain that if coal
exists at all, it is on this route We know the
black bituminous states reach as far as Drowning
creek and have strong reasons for believing that
they unierlie the alluvial along Cheeks creek
Thus have endeavored to answer your questions,
though it may appear to you in terms quite general
and less specific than is desirable.
