The letter in the Windsor Public Ledger of date the 17th from Miss Rebecca Cameron, of HiUsboro, is a graceful defense from an accomplished hand. Her womanly devotion to honor and merit is most admirably displayed therein and her able and womanly tribute to Captain Randolph A. Shotwell should bring the blush to the face of the cowardly assailants of his bright and unchangeable reputa tion. We read it with pleasure both because of its defense of the innocent dead and because it exhibits a wo manly character as brave as it is lovely and Christian. For the benefit of our readers, we print the letter in full : My Dear Sirs: Nothing save seri ous ill could have so long delayed the expression of my sincere and grateful appreciation of your ready and chival rous defense o Captain Randolph Ab bott Shotwell's memory against the false, unworthy and cowardly defama tion of an anonymous slanderer. It is a wholly incomprehensible thing why any one even the basest and most malignant of his enemies should have made so unwarranted an attack upon the memory of a man who for two long years has been beyond the reach of praise or blame. Nothing could be gained by such an assault, and much was to be lost by it if the anonymous writer held any sort of a character among his fellow men. For there is a certain inborn instinct of decency in most men that forbids wanton abuse of the dead. An in stinct as old as humanity's self, find ing utterance even in the Pagan world in the old familiar Latin maxim: De mortuis nil nijee bouum. Happily for his friends, Captain Shotwell's name is above the stain of slander. No injurious charge makes the least dimness upon his fair name. The whole life of the man contradicts the charges that for political purposes only were fabricated against him, and I challenge each one of his ac cusers and judges to dare to admit within his secret soul that he ever be lieved one single charge upon which he was tried and a predetermined sentence executed against him. One day the accused and the ac cusers will meet before the bar of the Great Judge eternal, and in that day may God remember the mercy that they iorgot. Had Captain Shotwell been guilty he could easily have es caped before his trial (so called), when the opportunity was afforded him while in Rutherford jail, and any man, however innocent, governed by less noble impulses than swayed the heroic soul of the kniehtly gentleman of whom we speak, might well have availed himself of those opportunities to escape from the horrible tortures in flicted upon him within those loath some prison walls. It is not generally known, but it is none the less a fact, that after Captain Shotwell's release from Albany penitentiary, the man Jim Justice, the ostensible "victim" of the Rutherford raid, came to him and begged forgiveness for his part in the prosecution, and said he had done all he could to make amends by volun tarily signing the petition for his re lease. Of course Captain Shotwell forgave him, for such a soul never har bored either malice or revenge. Had Captain Shotwell really been the au thor of the alleged "outrages" from which Justice pretended to have suf fered, is it likely that Justice would have asked for his forgiveness, that he would "let bygones lie bygones?" I do not as a rule take it upon my self to connect the visitations of God with the sins of men ; but in the case of Justice, who broke his neck falling off a piazza, and in the lingering and agonizing death from cancer of the throat of MacArthur, the Rutherford jailor, who denied the helpless prison ers in his charge water to slake their thirst in the burning heat of summer weather, and inflict voluntary tortures UKn them ; in these two cases I do think the Hand of God touched them thus in direct punishment for their sin. As I said before, what is to be gained by a resurrection of falsehoods like those published by the Edenton En quirer's correspondent I cannot see. Captain Shotwell stands in no man's way ; he has passed out of the arena of men : "Where bevond these voiees there is peace. rt And surely it serves no purpose of jealousy, envy, or even malice to seek to dishonor the memory of one who wore so worthily " The white flower of a blameless life." It is impossible to altar the opinion of those who knew him, or of the peo ple in the State at large. It would be impossible, even if the charges had been made openly, above a reputable signature. An anonvmous attack serves only to blacken the pages on which it was written and reflects dis credit only on the one who made it. To you, who share the knightly and gallant spirit that animated Captain Shotwell's whole public life ; who dare to speak the truth without fear or favor, or counting the possible cost, the hearty thanks of all of Captain Shotwell's personal friends, of all who believe in honor, truth and courage, are due, and I may gladly express my admiration of your manly and gener ous defense of one who from his beard less youth until the shadow of death fell across his superb manhood ever led a forlorn hope in the battle of truth, justice, and the rights of men, and whose name and fame will one day be the incentive of noble deeds of noble men. Very faithfully yours, Rebecca Cameron. Hillsbororough, N. C. THE MASTER'S QUESTIONS. BY WILLIAM C. ETHERIDOE. Original.! Have ye looked for sheep in the desert, For those who have lost their way?

From the Wilson Afirror Henry Blount and the Smithfield Herald Glenwood correspondent we take the following poetical and eloquent strains, the one dwelling on the past, the other glorying in the future. Hear them. We can never forget the old home that sweet, dear old place, hallowed by a father's watchful care and a moth er's sweet and endearing ministry. Standing way off in the back ground of the past, and ivyed all over with precious incidents of boyhood's sunny days, it is the Mecca to which our thoughts make their fondest pilgrimage, and there is no dearer spot on earth to us. 'Tis true our present surroundings maybe all that we could wish, and life may be flowing along on the brightest current of enjoyment, and passing in its silvery course the sweetest flowers of jjeace and happiness. But dispite all this, the heart still warms a feeling for the dear old place, and as soon as the tender twilight of dream ing begins to deepen, and the stars of revelry are awakened, 'tis then we float away on the precious floodtide of hal lowed memories, and see through the mist of tears the scenes of childhood days. Yes, we may bask in the sun light of radiant happiness, and drink in the melody of the purest notes of earthly xleasure, but like the sad sea shell which forever keeps up in its in most murmur of its billowy home we will ever hear in our own true hearts the sad, sad sobbing of their ceaseless longing, and we too like the hare when the hounds and horns pursue, pant to the place from whence it first flew ; we still will nope, life s long vexations passed, there to return and die at home at last. Mirror. Ah, no ! However sweet those days agone may have been ; however dear the old familiar scenes of youth were held ; however joyous the meeting of kindred hearts and minds attuned to music were wont to be, we would not return to live over the joys, the sor rows of the Past. The Future, her bounteous fields aglow, spreads out a charming prospect before us ; and joy fully we press forword to 'other scenes and pastures new,' to explore the un known, to reveal anew in the domain of fancy, to sport, perchance, once more in Lord s beautiful bowers. Ever eager to leave the fading past astern, we face resolutely to the front, leaving the sad sweet memories of Auld Lang Syne' to slumber, or else to make a mounful rustling, in the dark nf memnrv's Imvn- nr tnrnH w r flecton's fingers, we revisw the days of YELLOW TOBACCO. CHEMISTRY Or THE PLANT. Interesting Discussion of an Important Topic Maj. Ragland Replies to Capt. Snow's Article. Southern Tobacco Journal. Editor Tobacco Journal: In a former communication answering the several queries propounded by my esteemed friend, Col. W. C. Knight, editor Southern Planter, I stated sub stantially that nicotine is a distinct substance inherent in every part of the tobacco plant, green or dry, roots, stalk, leaves and seeds, and is not generated by the process of curing, and that the relative portion of nicotine varies considerably in the various types of tobacco, the yellow contain ing much less than the dark heavy type. In this view I am pleased to see that Capt. W. H. Snow fully concurs in his review in Journal, Sept. 10th. But from some of the views therein en unciated I am forced to dissent. That the lower leaves of the tobacco plant as they ripen contain less nico tine, are milder and make the best smokers goes without saying among all tobacco men, producers, manufac turers and consumers. Capt. Snow says: "It is imperative that these leaves be removed from the stalk before curing, if desired mild. The ripe tobacco stalk contains an acrid pungent flavor foreign to theleaf largely composed of chlorophyl, ex ceedingly bitter in flavor and green in color. This, with the potash and acetic acid, with the evolution of ammonia in the heat of the curing barn, load the leaf with a substance capable of blistering the mouth. But if the leaves are removed from the stalk and cured in the best known way they are void of poison so largely contained in the stalk." There is only one poisonous sub stance in the tobacco plant, nicotine, and Capt. Snow says that " the stalk contains less nicotine than the leaves," which is true. Chloropyl is the coloring matter of the plant, found more largely in the leaves than in the stalk, which abounds in woody fibre pure cellulose. Chlo rophyl is neither bitter nor poisonous. The heat changes the color of the chlorophyl globules, as the process of etiolation goes on in the curing pro cess, but not a particle of poisonous matter is evolved from leaf or stalk of plants cured whole. Neither chlorophyl nor potash is volatilized in the curing process, from leaves or stalks, and as regards acetic acid the ripe plant contains none, nor is it evolved during the curing. See list of substances forming the constitu ents of the tobacco plant hereafter enumerated. There is a very small percentage of nitrogen in yellow tobacco cured on the stalk, as demonstrated by analysis less than onehalf of one per cent., 45 100 actual according to Dr. Voelcker. The stalk contains even less, 44-100 of one per cent, of nitrogen. We therefore assert, without the fear ci successful contradiction, that ammonia, generated from so small a percentage of nitrogen in the leaves and stalks of tobacco cured on the stalk, is too small to sensibly affect the taste or smell of the leaf. To sum up the matter, then, we find there is no poison in the chloro phyl or potash, acetic acid or ammo nia loading up the leaf cured along with the stalk, and that the stalk con tains no substance "foreign to the leaf possessing an acrid pungent flavor.' " Bright yellow tobacco contains the following : Lime, magnesia, oxide of iron, potash, chloride of potassium, chloride of sodrum, phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, soluble silica and car bonic acid. " Dr. Voelcker says: " I find merely a trace of the nitrates in the fancy bright tobacco, which is one of the reasons why this tooacco has a very mild taste, for in all biting, strong to baccos I find invarably nitrates are present in considerable proportions." This, mark you, is the opinion of Eng land's most eminent analytical chemist of his day, founded upon the analysis of a sample of tobacco raised by Mr. E. E. Lyon, of Granville county, N. C, and cured on the stalk. PLANTERS OF THE PAST NOT WITHOUT HONOR. Before Morse had evolved the tele graph or McCormick invented the reaper, Slade, Long and Tuck were contriving and elaborating the yellow curing process the fine art of tobacco planting. The bright yellow type had won its way to public favor and ap preciation long years before the Mod ern Barn" was envolved Irom the brain of its worthy patentee. "THE MODERN EARN" A SUCCESS. That Capt. Snow's barn is a suc cess in many respects is most cheerful - ly and candidly conceded, and I only differ with Capt. S. in claiming too much, as I conceive, for the quality of leaves cured off the stalk in the vMod ern Barn." Stripping the leaves from the stalk as they ripen certainly increases the product, and curing in a Modern Barn" is cheajxr as regards fuel and attention. It is greatly to its credit if his barn will "reduce the cost of curing 40 per cent." THE ONE HORSE PLANTER who is unable to construct a " Modern Barn" need not despair of curing his crop yellow and of fine quality by the furnace and pipe-flue, the regulator or some other good flue in his log barns daubed tight with proper appliances for ventilation and the regulation of the temperature. The superiority of Virginia and North Carolina yellow tobacco has been built on the product cured on the stalk, and until chemical analysis demonstrates that curing the leif stripped from the stalk makes brighter, milder and better tobacco, the present prevailing mode will continue for all uniformly ripe tobacco. But for plants ripening at the bottom and to save the ripe lower leaves, while allow ing the upper leaves to remain stand ing longer till they also ripen, the le-if stripping process will increase in practice. To Col. S. C. Shelton, the the pio neer tobacco planter of Western North Carolina, credit is due lor reviving the practice of harvesting the leaves and not the stalks, after the mode had long remained in "innocuous desuetude." I thank him for calling my attention eleven years ago to his patent hanger, which I have used to advantage more or less every year since. A GOOD THING. The character of the soil and cli mate contributes greatly to the fine quality of our bright yellow tobacco, and for this type the planters of. Vir ginia and North Carolina have no competitors. We virtually hold a monopoly in this line as long as we do our duty and raise it fine, whether cured on or off the stalk. R. L. Ragland. Hyco, Va. It is stated that Henry W. Grady has been offered by a lecture manager $10,000 or thereabouts to tell the North this winter about the New South. We do not know whether Mr. Grady would undertake such a thing or not, but if he should he could do a great work in bringing about a better under standing of the South of to-day in the minds of his Northern hearers. Here is a step in the right direction The Charlotte Chronicle says a new enterprise has been inaugurated in Morganton, in the -shape of the Mor ganton Manufacturing Company. The new factory turns out all classes of wood work, and will make a specialty of well buckets, house buckets, tubs, step ladders, barrels, kegs, etc. The company is backed by ample capital and has gone to work in earnest. Apropos of all the newspaper talk and political twaddle about who saved the Union, the Republican party of course claiming everything, the Waterloo, Iowa, Tribune asks the question, "Who went Ho war any way?" and says: Missouri gave Mr. j Lincoln 17,028 votes4ut sent 86,530 ; soldiers into the Union armvr Iowa gave Lincoln 70,400 votes and sent to war under the old flag 68,680 men. If only Republicans went, they left i only 1,729 of them at home not enough to hold the offices. . THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRA TION. BT JOHN PAUL BOCOCK, OF VIRGINIA.

AND NORTH CAROLINA BIDS THEM COME. A Statement of Its Valuble Resources and the Opportunities It offers. New York Tribune-I The State of North Carolina has a grievance. It thinks that its advan ages as a permanent home, its attract iveness as a summer resort, its richness as a repository of mineral wealth, and its adaptability to all the demands which agriculture, forestry, mining, or manufacturing can make upon it, have been ignored too long, and it has got ten up a "boom" to counteract this slight and give the State the industrial importance to which it is entitled. With this end in view the State has established a Bureau of Immigration at Raleigh, with branch offices at various points in the North. One ot these is stationed at No. 22 Dey St., and is under the direction of F. E. McAllister. This gentleman and his manager, N. W. Schenck, have made a special study of the resources of North Carolina, and in the course of a conversation with a Tribune reporter Mr. McAllister spoke of them as follows : "North Carolina is sparsely settled and it is a strange fact that, although it is three times as large as Massa chusetts, its largest city, Wilmington, boasts of only 20,000 inhabitants. This is due to the fact that the State has been practically inaccessiable to the railways until recently, and it was only in 1880 that the vast Western portion of the State was opened up by a rail way. In the matter of climate it is especially well provided, since there are no less than four distinct climates, with all the variety of natural products ncidental to each. The advantages of this arrangement are evident and gives the State excellent opportunities for producing great varieties of cereals and fruits. The State is rich in natural products of all kinds and its varieties of timber trees are almost numberless. As regards its water power, it is a re markable fact that an estimate by the State geologist goes to show that North Carolina has in its waterfalls more horse-power than is contained in the steam engines of every kind employed in the United States." Referring to the minerals of the State, Mr. McAllister said that they were abundant and well distributed over the entire area, "iron ore abounds," said he, "both magnetic and hematite, the most valuable being a species of the former, the famous black oxide ore of the Cranberry mines in the Northern part of the State. Scat tered through the State are three or tour gold belts, from which large quantities have already been obtained, and which are still being worked on an extensive scale. Mica, corundum and other minerals of commercial value are also mined. A fine quality of marble, of a peculiar flesh-colored tint, is found near the Georgia line, and granite for mations of every variety are lound throughout the State. I should also mention the fine deposits of kaolin, or china clay, used for pottery purposes, some of which shows a higher percent age of silica to alumina, than the cele brated European deposits. I he tracts of forest land are of great extent, and are untouched by the woodman's axe, because there has been no woodman there to disturb them. "Alone the coast are extensive fisheries, which have been carefully fostered and yield large returns. By the middle of next month large areas of submarine territory will be laid out for oyster gardening, as that industry is practiced on Long Island Sound, and will be ready for sale. In spite of all these attractions the State is poor, because it wants men farmers, artisan, manufacturers, thrifty, industrious workmen of all kinds. It would be a paradise for the new American party, because the last census shows that of all the States North Carolina has the largest native-born population and the smallest ioreign element. The price of land ranges from $3 to $50 per acre and is being rapidly taken up by en terprising people." . Commenting on the railroad elec tion the Norfolk Public Ledger says : " Henderson excelled Durham on the railroad question by voting unanimous ly to make a subscription. It is a re markable fact that in the two towns only one person was found who was opposed to the proposition. The unanimity of the vote shows that the people of that thriving section of our sister State are keenly alive to their interests, and that they are willing -to put their hands in their pockets to aid in establishing advantageous trade connections' Read and advertise ia the Cold Leaf, A Connecticut woman has invented a bustle which, she says, has never been worn before.
