NY person who looks upon the map of North Carolina, will find that Wilming- ton is in a south-westerly direction from New Berne, and about eighty miles distant ; but it must be known that in North Carolina roads do not run straight from one place to another. The barriers of Nature, not yet over- come, have caused the State to be divided into a number of distinct communities, and these communities difier as widely from each other in manners, habits, and feelings, as do the inhabitants of Florida... aad Nova Scotia. In the west, the mountains, the grandest and highest in the Union, divide neighbourhoods as far from each other as are Charleston and New York; and in the east are rivers that spread out into shallow seas, and immense swamps that are yet the abodes of savage beasti, and of equally savage men. Different races, too, have peopled these comparatively obscure regions ; New Englanders and Virginians, with many aristocratic and some noble English families, founded the settlements on the Cape Fear Eiver and Albermarle Sound j the Baron de Grafienreidt, of Berne, in Switzerland, was the founder of New Berne on the Neuse Eiver, and near the head of Pamlico Sound ; Highlanders who "were out in '45," or vvere related to those who were, formed a settlement at Cross Creek, now Fayetteville, in the southern part of the State ; the Moravians, a peculiar religious sect from Germany, settled a colony in the central part of the State ; and in the 18 TS8 ADVENTURES OF west were emigrants and adventurers from different places.
