Atlantic Roads TO this place is considerable found
the officers Of both Roads polite and accommodating
and the Roads in the best condition. The traveller

is quiet agreeble place, with all the advantages of

once infuse rev life into this whole locality while
the benefits to Morehead City would be permanent

There is no place on the Atlantic coast more pleas
ant or heathful than Beaufort during the heat OF
| tina summer months. And am glad TO
many North Carolnians visiting Beaufort for health
recreation and pleasure, instead of going to the
Northern watering places. 1t is estimated that the
visitors to Beaufort the present season will leave be-
hind them from seventy-fve to one hundred thou
sand dollars. This is substantial annual gain to
| this community, which must soon be seen and felt
in the improvements which will result therefrom
Carteret County Court is in session here this
week, and on Monday last in accordance with pre-
vious announcement the people were addressed in
| the Court-h house by William B. Rodman, ESQ.,, the
Democratic Elector for this District. Mr.. Rodman
delivered on this occasion sensible, able, and ef
fectiye speech. He dwet at some length upon the
doctrines and designs of the black Republican par
ty, and urged his hearers of all parties to rouse
themselves to the dangers that mpend, and to look
those dangers in the face. He alluded to the posi-
! tons occupied by Messrs. Breckenridge Douglas,
and Bell and to their claims the suHrages of the
country, showing that Mr. Bell has but little if any
strength and that the safe and wise for the
people of this State is to support the Breckenridge
and Lane Electors. He urged his hearers to unite
in demanding all their rights under the Constitu-
ton as they set forth in the platform which
Breckenridge and Lane were nominated. He was
for the Union, which he priced and venerated, but
he was not for the Union with disregarded, tram
pied, dead Constitution The Constitution full of
life as it came from the hands of its trainers, was
and should be the Union which Southern men
should uphold and venerate. Mr.. Rodman referred
! in eloquent terms to Breckenridge and Lane and
indicated them in strong terms against the charge
that they are disunionsts He also alluded in
pmentary terms to Judge Douglas He differed
with him on the question of Territorial Sovereignty,
but he regarded him as thoroughly sound on the
question of slavery in the States, and was not
mindful of the many and powerful blows which
Judge D. has struck for the rights Of the South.
He urged the people, however, to support Breckin-
ridge, because he stands upon platform which eve
| ry Southern man must approve. He entertained
the hope that the Democracy of the country though
divided in the contest would succeed in defeating
Lincoln thereby protecting the South and preserv-
| ing the Union. Mr. R. was listened to with much
attention, and his remarks evidently produced
good effect.
After Mr.. Rodman had concluded the Hon. Thos.
L. Clingman, who was present. was loudly called
for. Mr.. Clingman responded to the CALL and adj
dressed the people for nearly an hour in his best
manner. He entirely endorsed every thing which
Mr.. Rodman had said. lie would regard the cleo
ton of Lincoln and the defeat of the Democracy as
great calamity and he described the results which
would in all probability flow from submission to
black Republican rule. AS North Carolinian his
destnies inseperably interviewer With those of
his State He stood by and supported the general
government because of the benefits it had conferred
upon all, both North and South, and because his
State had commanded him to do so; but in the event
of the triumph of black Republicanism, with the
dangers which that triumph would bring on the
State, he would go with the State IN any movement
which her people in Convention assembled might
