The superiority of their models gives them n great
advantage over the boats of the old style of naval
construction, and the newness of their boilers and
machinery guarantees to the public their perfect
safety.
It is hardly necessary to inform our patrons that
with their powerful machinery and fine water-lnes
hey do not require the slightest approach to racing
to enable them to attain much better rate of speed
than any boats in these waters.
The New LINE is composed of the following eIe-
CANT sde-wheel Steamers, superby fitted up with
JAMES IAN Sd !. BRA 4, CAPTAIN Lands.
DICTATOR, Captain Deering.
MAGENTA, Captain Baulser.
The tables are supplied with every luxury the
markets afford, and equal to firsclass hotel fare;
and notwithstanding the superior advantages offered
to the public in point of elegance comfort safety and
speed, the fares as low by any other line
They connect with the elegant Ncw Line Steamers
for CherryStone, Matthews county and all points on
steamers for Newborn Edenton, Plymouth and all
other points in North Carolina.
Passengers Transferred to and from all Depos, and
Baggage handled free of charge.
