From North Carolina.
BEAUFORT. n. c.. Ang,

BEAUFORT, n. t., Aug. 20.
The leading merchants Of Newbern are
sending goods in large quantities into all parts
OF North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
and Southeastern Virginia, bringing back cot
ton, tobacco and other products, giving EN-
ployment to the railroads, which are running
night and day.
An effort will be made this winter to obtain
an appropriation from Congress to defray the
expense of deepening the channel uniting the
inland waters of North Carolina with the
ocean, which with the removal of small bar
in the Neuse river, will enable the largest
ocean steamers to run to Newbern.

honor may be unmerited on my part. But as
you have by your act considered me worthy
of your splendid gift, allow me thus publicly
to say that it shall never be disgraced in my
hands. Tupelo, Old Tom Creek, Big Blue,
and Usage, of the past, shall be a guarantee
for the future, should circumstances ever
again call for the sword as the arbiter for the
adjustment of future differences. am not
forgetful of the fact that the honor thus con.

prompt and efficient support of the men while
under my command; and the inscription
above mentioned, as wen as many other oc-

lasting friendship, which, ! hope, will never
be broken by any unworthy conduct on my
part. Again thank you for this splendid

Victoria, was solemnly proclaimed at CO.
bourg on his 2lst birthday, on August 9th
last, as heir to the ducal throne of Cobourg-
Gotha, in consequence of the childlessness Of
the reigning duke, brother of Prince Albert,
the late consort of the Queen, and as we'll
known for his enthusiasm in the cause of Ger
man nationality, as for his high musical and
literary attainments. Prince Alfred is fine,
sailor-like youth, far superior to his brother,
the Prince of Wales, in qualities of mind and
heart, and it is to be regretted, for the sake
of the future prospects of England, that the
Prince Of Wales could not be transferred to
the Insignificant court of Cobourg and Prince
Alfred, in due time, take his place as king Of
England.

fact, life would be unpleasant. But why sing

thing, and occasionally give us father or

EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Returned Union
prisoners doubt the correctness of the
statement lately put forth that there is to
be general exchange of prisoners at the
rate of 5000 per month, thus requiring
ten months to exchange the $4,000, and
say if the rebels were now DESTROYS of any
Immediate full exchange, it could be done
in twenty days.
the rebels are reducing the numbers of
our prisoners at the rate of % per cent
per month by starvation and inducing
them to enlist in their armies in order that
they may get food, and avoid lingering
death. As to sending supplies or money,
these returned prisoners say, though they
know how much our poor fellows need,
hope they will send nothing of the sort for
the reason that what is sent will never
reach them.
