We extract the following encouraging ortb Carolina: The State- of North Carolina might be divided into two great districts, the Agricultural and Mining (ho former embraces those Counties which lie im mediately upon the Atlantic slope, ex tending to the tirst fall of the rivern, where they enter the tertiary formation. The latter embraces all west of those falls. While the firmer, however, is eminently agricultural the latter U both agricultural and mining. Usually, u mining district is rough and compara tively unproductive; here, however, while mining gives or is capable of giv ing, magnificent return, the agricultural is equally productive with other dis tricts. The means of living are there fore cheap, and while a portion of its citizens are engaged in those pursuits which neither m ike a blade of grass, or potatoes grow, yet their labor always secures an abundance of bread and meat from the verv surface beneath which the mineral wealth is drawn. In pursuiug this work up to the pres ent time, I have scarcely touched upon the mining wealth of the State. The most I have attempted to do is to devel ope the value of the coal mines. The gold, copper, lead anJ iron mines, I propose to examine the ensuing year. It is a remarkable fact, that while lea i and zinc are comparatively rare, gold and silver are abundant. I had .rm frt notice a fact of like kind in my Report of the Geology of New York. In the Northern Counties of that State iron is the great mining product, it is ac companied with neither copper, lead, zinc or gold. I mean that it preponder ates every other metal. Iron occupies an important place in North Carolina; an J I miy here say that the advantages for m iking bar iron of the best quality arc very great. The ore in the first place is abundant and of an excellent quality: and in the second place, wood for charcoal is equally abundant, and as the growth of trees is rapid, fuel will never fail if system is observed in its cutting and the preservation of young timber. The resources of the forest in North Carolina are immense, notwith standing a terrible disease h is infested certain portions of it for som j time past. The famous long leaf pine is a magnifi cent tree of the forest. It yields its tur pentine and rosin in profusion one of the great staples of the South: its leaf makes an clega it hat, its cone an orna mental basket, its heart the most dura ble of posts, and its wood the cheerful fire and light, both of the kitchen and p-irlor. The great variety of O iks and Walnut are no less important. The Tulip in beauty is rarely excelled, and the Magnolia among the trees of the Forest is like a gigantic rose. The water power is also immense. The improvements on Djop River aud Cape Fear will furnish water for several Lowells. In fine, the elements of wealth, and prosperity have been dealt out with ,.,,, , . , , , It! 1 .....!

The following Circular of the Superinten dent of Common Schools we publish for gen eral inforaiaticm: To the Cft'tlnnm of the B xird of County Sup'rint'tidcnts of C-jmmon S hoofs in Xorth Carolina: Gentlemen: It is important, at the beginning of a new year, that 3011 and the other officers of the system of C un mon Schools should know what changes hive been made in your duties by the Aets of the last. Legislature. As the Law requires of mr, I have prepared a new pamphlet edit ion of all the School Laws in force, with explana tions and forms: and this edition has this day been approved by t!ic Presi dent and Directors of the Literary Fund, and will be printed as rapidly as p ssi blc. A large number of copies will be struek off aud circulated; and, in the mean time, as soon as the requisite number can be printed, a copy will be sent to each of you by mail. The bal ance of the edition due to each county i will be sent to you, with directions for ' their di.tributir n, by the persons who carry out tue Acts of Assembly, & Of the new laws pissed at the recent session of the General Assembly, it is ! not absolutely essential for you to know lnnnjdiately any part except that in re lation to Committees of Examination. It is made the duty of the Board of County Superintendents to appoint a committee to examine those who wish to teach CommoL Schools in each cnnn- 'V in me orate: this committee i tn W - ---ww vi. consist of not more than five, of whom the Ch airman of the Board of County Superintendents is to be one is to meet at least three times a year, and to give, at the Court House door, notice of the times and places of meeting. Cer tificates issued by them are good for one year only, and in no other county than the one in which they aro issued; and you arc authorized to refuse to pay any teacher who dojs not exhibit a proper certificate. Of course you will not en force this law until the substance of it is known to Committee men; and in your annual report- (which arc to be made to me instea'd of the Governor and Lit erary Board) you are to designate the number of licenses issued during the year to male and the number to female teachers. I take this occasion to express the hope that a new impulse will be given to the cause of popular education in North Carolina; and to say to you that I shall, if pared, visit all the Counties of the State, to examine the operations of our system, to consult with you and second your efForts, and to endeavor to enlist the active sympathies of the public in behalf of this great cause. In the mean time, I would be pleased to receive sug gestions from you, and may be address ed at Grecnmorough or Raleigh; and permit me to assure you that while I would be pleased to correspond with you, your knowledge of local matters. your observation and experience may b -of m -aerial service to mo, while I am eady to offer any assistance in the w iy of advice and information in my power. TT-m-n that we shall soon become better acquainted and be able to! strengthen the han ls of each other, I am with much respect, Your obedient servant. C. II. WILEY.

We learn from the Goldsboro' Tide graph that the boiler belonging to the Smithfield Steam Saw Mill, owned by Wm. S.
