Yes sirs, a mountain of Iron Ore ! ! esteemed by men of science to be the richest in the world ! ! and when wrought the finest ; excepting perhaps a solitary mine in the North of Europe, from which most, if not all the fine cutlery is manufactured. I have looked about this mountain some, and wherever an incision has been made in it, the appearance is nearly the same,' showing that the supply is inexhaustible, -around me is much fine water power the greatest abundance of timbers and two or three other forges going into ope ration, but no roads as yet into our State except a very bad one across the Linville Mountain. My neighbors, Caldwell, JJurke, Wilkes and others prefer this Iron to common steel, for many purposes, and would use it extensively if they could I more easily gel supplies.

Single out the remarkably sensi ble men and women of your acquaintance not the most witty, or the most versatile, or the most artistic minds they may or may not be of the number but those who have the largest share of sound sense, and you will find that they are also the best tempered. Good sense is shocked and disgusted by the utter foolish ness of ill. temper, just as much as good taste is bv its ugliness. Good sense sees at a Hanre the impotance of rage, the stupid brutUhness J n c of a fit of ihe sullens, and lbe absurd waste of time and mental strength in peevishness and ' perversity.
