Th<j folldwing extract from a speech of Mr. Bryan in .the Senate of North Carolina, in rela- ' lion to thll harbor, will interest many of our readers. The speech was made on the passage of i resolutions asking Congress tarcmoyo tho ob- , structions in Core Sound, between Beaufort and , Tamptico Sound. u Any Senator who liad directed his attention to the expenses incident to the transportation of munition of >var, during, our , la?t war, must be aware of the very great , saving that would accrue to the government, ( from this improved communication fvhh our ] seaports, on the coast. There were but few . points on the whole coast of the Union, of , more importance, in any point of view, to , the Government, than the port of Beaufort. He believed that with the exception of New York and Norfolk", its inlet and harbor were , not surpassed by any in the United States; i the formet affording on the bar, an uniform depth of water, of from twenty to twenty-two ' and a half feet; and the latter, being" hand- ! somely landlocked, and secure from the in- ( flucncc and ravages of storms, was capable i of affording moorings & security for a thoi - 1 sand merchant vessels of tlie largest Class. 1 The ports of Charleston,Mobile and New Orleans,with inlets& harbors far inferior in point * of capacity," security, and depth of water, ( were making rapid strides to prosperity and wealth; whilst this neglected port Was not j known and appreciate^) in our own State, < which was daily contributing much of its 1 substance to swell the resources of other States, on the ground, as alleged, that there was no place in the State whence it could be exported. This was a mistaken idea; and lie could assure the Senate, that it was a matter of great surprise to every stranger of dis tinction, who had visited Beaufort, that the State of North Carolina had remained so long unmindful of the fact, that she possessed one of the finest ports in the Union. If this port were located in one of the Northern States, every point, nook and shoal, would resound " with the busy hum of lifeand ( shall we who have so much just cause to ; complain, that one coast is notM one of ne- ' t ure's favorites," reject and neglect to ap- .. preciato rightly, this bountiful bestowal of her gifts ? If honorable Senators could have beheld the gay and heart stirring scenes which this harbor exhibited during the last war, they would have been struck with won* , dcr and astonishment that our own State, which so many thought was hermetically , scaled up against the approaches of friend or lbc, should have been the resort and depository of the gay, the warlike, the rich, and t the wealth and splendour of other climes, i t ?prt???I???? Its waters seemed to be a floating mass of ships, privateers, merchantmen, and prizes, laden with the wealth and spoils of the enemy; whilst the town was alive with specu. lators and purchasers from all parts of the Union. There might be seen men of differ, ent nations and tongues?come the prisoners of our daring and successful privateers^ and others in quest of gain and speculation. And why was this ? Because no point or harbor on the coast of the Union atfordeda more easy and convenient access, with such depth of water, as this, and none could be found which would give such security, after it was entered. Such* ever will be the case ; if this country should again be involved in war ,* and of so much importance has it been regarded even in a national point of view, that Congress has caused to be constructed, at the in!et,a fort that commands its entrance, which cost the Government a half of a mil lioft of dollars. He would repeat the questiou, shall we be unmindful of the great irnportance of this port to our State ? The spirit of improvement wiis abroad on the face of the earth, und lie hoped that its general ihfluence would be extended to the land of his constituents. Gentlemen from the West bad assured him that, at the next session, when they met, itndcr tlio new constitution, they would almost moVe Heaven md Earth to effect a communication with Beaufort, at any hazard and expense?to let t rest now. Hahad full confidence in the /%A A. 1 t.1 expression 01 tneir nnerai opinions, ana couia. lot believe that we were to remain tributary o Virginia and South Caro] fna forever. We iad been " hewers of wood and drawers of vater" for them long enough already, and t was time to wake up. ' Rail Roads, interjecting the State in eyery -direction, had been ihortered at this session. These were so nany streams upon which the wealth of our State wo!ild leave us. He was no enemy to nterrial improvement; but they were not so veil calculated to" produce contentment and lappiness among our citizens, and to proluce the abiding effect'of wealth and prosx;rtty among us, as one terminating at our >wn ports. -He did not know that he should igain have the honor of a seat on this'floor; DUl II 11 511UUJU 5U ^JUppCil^ WUIU uoouiu honorable gentlemen that he should call upon them to redeem their pledges." ' . A central rail road, froin the mountains to such a harbor as Beaufort is represented to >e, could not fail to bring inta immediate exstence a market town equal, if not superior, :o any one on the southern coast; and dead ndeed must North Carolina be to her true nterest, should she longer neglect a work so important to the happiness and prosperity-of ler citizens.?Raleigh Star, CHERAW GAZETTE. TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1836. Wo hayo complaints from different nrinrtor* iy persons who put their names to subscription .apcrs for tho Chcraw Gazette, tliaf tho paper has lot been sent to them. Tho reason is that the ubscription papers have not been returned to us. Ae hope persons still holding any with names to .hem, Will bo good cuougli tu return tlicm "Willi. - ^ * * \ -1 *. >ut delay. We are indebted to Col. Manning for a copy af the. President's messago at tho opening of Congress; with tho accompanying docuraonts. The captions of tho public acts passed by tho LefrialHture of North Carolina were omitted last week in consequence of the paper in which wo received them having boon mislaid. Tho Raleigh papers containingthem nover.camo to hand. A large mooting was held in Raleigh, N. C. on tho seeohd instant, to take into consideration the subject of rail road communication with the soa board. Two routes wero proposed; one to Norfolk, and tho other to tho Roanoke to meet tho Petersburg rail road; for both which the Legislature have granted a charter.. Tho meeting decided in favor of tho oho to Roanoke. More than $390,000 of stock was taken during tho day,?r-150,000 of it by the President'of tho Peters, burg Rail Road Company, on behalf of the citizens' of Petersburg. This " is the amount which tho charter requires to be subscribed before the rfork can bo commenced., "From the enthusiasm (says the Raleigh Standard) and determined spirit manifested by our men of capital in behalf of this important enterprizo, so animating to the hopes of our citizens, and holding out such encouraging prospects for our city and State, there can no longer be 'any doub) that the work will be commenced so soon as the necessary surveys are made, and be prosecuted to a speedy completion. Indeed, it is thought by many, (and wo perceive soconfidently stated by the Editor-of tho Petersburg Constellation) that thirty miles of tho routo may be finished during tho ensuing year. Tho Washington correspondent of the Charlesen Courier, under da to of Dec. 30, says: 44 There is a rumor afloat, that the President tias expressed himself in a decidedly hostile tone, en the subject of our differences with France, since the news arrived that Mr." Barton was cpft tainly jibout quitting France; and that he complains that Congress have not yet placed in his hands the power to apply a portion of the surpl revenue to active preparations for a belligerant altitude." It is said that the ports of .Mexico are shut by tho Government against the vessels-of the United Stales. This is supposed to have been dono out df offence at tho number of volunteers going from this country to Texas. An account is also given in the papers of New Orleans of the butchery of 28 men by the Mexicans at Tampico, who went out as volunteers to aid the Texians?23 of them wjpc Americans, 3 Frenchmen, and 2 Germans. It is said that the Hon. Dixon H. Lewis, member of Congress, is confined by sickness in Alabama. rIt is rumored that Gen. Cos is killed in Texas and the Mexicans expelled from the territory.? We hope that the"lattcr i art of the rumor may prove true. ? : ? . , Tho Chaplains to Congress at the present session, are the Rev. Mr. Higbeo elected bv iho.Selatc, and tho Rev. Mr. Stockton, tfc*j House. ??? It is rumored that Mr. Stevenson, late Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Mr. Wise, i now a member of tho same ltauso from Virginia, have had a disagreement, and by way of settling the difficulty, have mutually agreed to stand up, each as a mark to be shot at by the other. When will sensible men have courage enough to disregard fashion, and act in such matters according to the dictates of common sense. A young lawyer, of Crawford coi Ga., named Hunter, lately stabbed his .father-inlaw, in a personal rencounter, and killed Aim. . * ' The losses by the late conflagration at' New'York arc ascertained to have exceed- j echthe rough estimates heretofore made of j them. A committee of citizen^ appointed J for that purpose, have accurately examined j the amount of the losses thus sustained, and reported that the whole number of buildings destroyed was 527, exclusive of the Merchants Exchange and South Dutch Church; and that the estimated amount of Joss is 17,115,692 dollars.?Nat. Int. FROM TEXAS. A Jotter received in Washington city from an inhabitant of Texas, dated at San Felipe, November 2, says?"An express came in yesterday morning bringing despatches from Gen. Austin, by which we learn that ninety Americans were attacked near San Antonio {no W called -Bexar) on the 28th inst'by three hundred mounted Mexicans, of which number forty wore kHled, sixteen wounded, and a fine brass piece of artillery taken. On the part of the Americans there was one man killed and none wounded."' ? ' . ; " abstract of the proceeding* of the j twenty-fourth congress. first scb- 1 - ston. senate. ? ? . SURPLUS REVENUE. Dec. 2S-. Mr. Calhoun gave notice, that he would, | to-morrow, introduce a joint resolution, j " Proposing an amendment to tlic Constitu-1 tion of tlie United States, providing for, a I distribution o? the surplus revenue among the several States and Territories until 1843. [The resolution in substance states, when ratified by three-fourths of the several Legislatures' to be valid as an amendment; that after deducting from> the funds in the Treasury, the money remaining shall be annually distributed among theseveral States and Territories, including the District of Columbia, by shares equal to the number of Senators and Representatives in Congress for the time being,, with the addition of two to each Territory, and two for the District of Columbia.] EXECUTIVE PATRONAGE. Mr. C. also gave notice that he would in- j trodiipe a bill to repeal the first and second j setfiiOHs "or an - Act to limit ttie term of of- j i fice of certain officers therein named, and^ for other purposes." * i The bill provides that, for the time being, ! | the President is to furnish a list of officers | the first week in January, pnd that in all npiiunationm maJo by the President to thfc Senate to fill vacancies, occasioned by the exercise of the President's power to remove See.; the fact of the removed, shall be stated to. the Senate, at the same time, the nomination is made, with'a statement of the reasons for winch such officer, may have been nOtTSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, v. - Thursday, Dec. 31.Mf. Hendricks presented the memorial of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, on the; subject of hospitals withm the State for the relief of sick and disabled persons, employed in navigating the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The bill authorizing the settlement of .a boundary line between the United States Territory- and the State of Missouri, was J read a third time and passed. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Hendricks; - . * Resolved, That the Committee on Pubic Lands be instructed to inquire into the expediency of makiug a grant of lands to one or more colleges in each of the new States for educating the poor upon the manual labor system, and that the documents herewith accompanying be referred to the same committee. Mr. Ward well moved to suspendThe rule, in order to enable him to ofFer a resolution prohibiting, in future, the use of the Hall of Representatives on the Sabbath as#a place of public worship, and the motion was rejected. ' . January 4. Mr. Manning, of South Carolina, appeared, was qualified, and took his seat. Petitions and Memorials were presented by Messrs. Evans and Smith, of xMaine; ; Weeks and Cushman of N. H.; and Briggs of Mass. Mi." T Ci AWnmq nrnspnted a memorial iUll v A . from sundry inhabitants of the State of Massachusetts, praying the abolition of Slaver}* and the Slave trade in the District of Columbia, and remarked tliat, in conformity to the course heretofore adopted, he should move that the petition, without reading, be laid on the table. Mr. A. was. here interrupted by Mr. Patton, who asked whether the petition had been received. ' t The Chair replied in the negative. Mr. Glasscock moved that the petition be notreceivcd. The Chair stated that, upon looking-into the authorities, .he had formed the opinion that the first question to be decided upon the motion of a member was, whether the petition be received or nbt. Mr. Glasscock felt it his duty, he said, notwithstanding the great discussion which had taken place on tho subject, again to bring before the House,/or its decision, the > question of the reception of these petitions. He contended that, according to Mr. J^fler- 1 sou's authority, ..which lip cited, the motion was a proper one, and did not conflict with thj riglit of petition : and, .moreover, that it ! 1 ? * 9 V '" i v ? was expedient for the House to sustain th motion, if they wished to avoid the conside ration of the question. The "Chair here stated that the discussioi must be confined strictly to the question o the reception of the petition. Mr. GfassCock resumed-his remarks i: support of his motion not to receive the pe tition. Mr. J. Q. Adams 'rose to a point of or der. The 45th rule, he said, required tha no petition should be debated or decided 01 the day of its presentation. If thcrulc^va not observed, the question might fie debate* the whole day, and member^ deprived of ai opportunity-of presenting tfiiftr petitions He appealed to that rule of order, and de mnndedj he said, tliat the question, if it wa to be debated, sliould be postponed to a 3a] certuin. ?" . The Chair decided that the 45th rub coukl not apply to a petition until if ha* been received; and, therefore, that it wa: in order to debate the motion not to receive Mr. J. Qi Adams-appealed from this de cision, and thereoff asked the yeas and nays which were ordered. The Chair stated the ground of his deci sion, and the question being?" Shall th* decision of the XJliair stand ?r' A lot% discussion arose, in which a num her of members took part, when On motion of Mr. Vinton, The House adjourned at 4 o'clock. , ?*.

REFORM. . ' . Dec". 10* * I understand that among the reforms c the clay, the .President has signjfied his ic tention to discontinue the regular series c dinners, which^^as been, usual to give dt ring the session of Congress; and will, i lieu of these, give a sort of general blo^ out, in the East room, to all ihe members ( once- It is very probable that the fact i not precisely as 1 have stated it, on the ai thority of rumor, but I presume the generi correctness of the rcport^ny be relied or I presume that the weak state of the Pres dents health is the real" cause of this alter* tion.

The' respcct with which h was received on his Hftrancc, and the a tier tion yielded to liinvdoring the whole time h was spooking, were most distinguished. H was frequently in tears.
