Branch, a distance of 29 miles. " "Beaufort River, also a tributary of Poet Royal, affords 18 feet at mean low water until within three miles of the town of Beaufort, from thence up not less than 14 feet can be found at low water. From the report which I have condensed, it will be perceived that this harbor is not only deep, but eminently capacious and safe when once entered. This harbor is a large arm of the sea penetrating among high, dry sea islands, and having no fresh water stream emptying... into it of any magnitude, its waters are as briny as the ocean itself, and hence its great salubrity. We can show as hale and hearty a population as dwell upon the earth, there are at least a half dozen positions upon its banks where a city could be erected, that would have depth enough at its wharves to accoraodate any vessel that could enter its bar. Its location upon an island would furnish no objection to commercial greatness. Tyre and Venice, of the old world, and New York on our own continent, are all insular cities, and a position like this, in a warm climate as our is, would add greatly to its health and coolness.
