In an article of some lengtli, the Winston
Bepvllican suras tip the business 6f the
(twq-iii-ame) towns of Wiustoir and Sa
lem, and predicts for them a . brilliant
future upon the ground of what has been
accomplished iu the past six or seven
years, to wit : To show what has been
tvrcouiplfched, we poiut to the fact that
seven years ago we Tvere without tele

State,' while one of them, (at least, is the
largest and : most comniodioos' in the
world, and their sales are numbered by
the million ponnds. The number of our
tobacco factories, steadily increasing, we
have run up to eighteen, working at least
500 different brands of tobacco, employ
ing more than two thousand operatives,
and paying a revenue to the general gov
ernment of over one million of dollars
annually. Besides these, we have our
woolen mills, cottpn 'mills, flouringmiila,
tannery, plaiuing-mills, lumber' yards,
agricultural works and pottery. And
abpve'al),' ou r ed Qcational ad van tages are
nnequaled by any town or city in the
South. We have thus briefly touched
upon the industries which are being pur
sued in our midst, leaving the decision J
that may be legitimately-made to the
reader. Whatever they may be, the con
clusion will be forced upon bis mind, that
the future of Winston-Salem is one full
of bright hopes nud promises.'
The discussion of the question, fwonld
there have been war had President Buch
anan withdrawn the federal troops from
the South, leaving Lincoln no legacy of a
besieged fort,4' was raised by Mr. Jefferson
Davis late history. Mr. Davis said there
would have been uo war iu that case,
while Jem Black, Esq., denies it, and en
deavors to show that there would have
beeu. It is highly probable that several
Southern States, -North Carolina, among
them, would have continued to resist the
secession movement, had the federal gov
ernment stood off, and that iu the end
secession would have failed, uud conseq
uently them had been uu war. The fed
eral government precipitated event, aud
drove the Southern States to accept the
issue of war or make a square back
down, thus truusceudjug constitu
tional power aud provoking a right--
eous resistance. We do not see much
merit in the discussion, or that it cau ef
fect anything of practical value.
Mr. Job u P. Fort has demonstrated the
practicability of supplying that region of
Georgia, iu which Macon is situated, with
good, pure, healthful vater, a want hith
erto greatly needed, aud for the hick of
which .material prosperity in that section
of the State has been seriously impeded.
Mr. r ort resolved ou making an aiTesiau
wen, oeueviug ne con I a tap the puie
streams which run dowu Troui the moun
tains through the rocks ; and though not
sustained by the opinion of geologists, he
went ahead at his work, and at the depth
of only 500 feet struck a stream which
spouts out 10 feet above j the earth, as
good water as cau bo found auy where.
All that region is rejoicing at this discov
ery, As it afford the promise of health
and happiness not heretofore enjoyed.
Mr. Fort now says the swamps of that
sectiou may also Ikj drained by sinkini:
wells below the substrata of pipe clay and
etl ing off the water through the sands
and pebbles which underlie it a well
nown fact and already practiced in some
parts of this country.
Cottox Pjckkr. Now that inventors
lave conluded that it is possible to make
a machine to pick out cottou, the thiug
will be done. Mr. Scott, of North Caro-
ina, has made a machine which takes
out three-fourths of all the open pods in
going over it once. A Mr. Duo lev, of
orest City, Ark., claims to have made
a machine that with one man and two
horses will pick 8 acres a day, delivering
the cotton clear of trash and dirt.
