So much has already been said tnro these columns on this subject that we are almost on the point of saying nothing fur ther, but that we know it is expected that we will make some use of the extensive notes taken during the (rip. As soon as an excursion was announced it was apparent to all that The Obverveb must be represented, and, notwithstanding an immense pressure of editorial duties, we concluded to lay aside the pen and the scis sors for a day or two, and join with our friends in demonstrations of friendship to ward our Wilmington friends, who are so soon to be united with us in iron bonds of wedlock upon the completion of the Caro lina Central Railway. Accordingly, then, fifty-eight Charlotte ans, representing every branch of business in the city, embarked on the 9:30 train on last Monday night for Wilmington, via Colum bia, ourself among the number. The party were unrter our special supervision, ana we felt in duty bound to take good care of eve rybody. The argns eyes of Tub Observer were expected to see and note every thing, but were we to attempt t write it all down we would have no room for anything else. As before stated, we took the party under the umbrageous influences of our editorial wing, at 9:30 P M, and thanks to the man agement of the C, C & A R li, in a short time thereafter we were in motion for Col umbia. The rear car of the train had been converted into a sleeping coach, -and those of us who were fortunate enough to secure sleeping berths were soon tucked away for the night. It was onr fortune to' take up quarters with Col Maxwell, and although we are not in the habit of sleeping with sewing machine men, or sewing machines that is the kind that runwith a treadle we for once bear witness that it is not an unpleasant business. After a comfortable night's rest, an.l be fore the morning's ablutions were clearly over, the train bearing th excursionists reached Columbia. Here "we changed en gines, and in a short time reached the breakfast house, about a mile south of the city. Most of the party when not asleep had been eating sandwitches and drinking ice water nearly all night, but one who did not know thia fact would never have real ized it when breakfast was announced and when all hands rushed pell-mell to he ta ble. A friend suggests that a corner had been made on chicken backs and -tsmatoes, and we believe it, for our host had certainly procured about all of these articles the city markets afforded. Prof Herr Von Meyer 4 off, and Gregory, the inimitable, not get ting seats at the first table, entertained the party, during the meal, the first by music on the piano, and the latter by a cornet solo. Breakfast being over we shipped Maj -Anderson, the Superintendent, and Capt Sprin kle, of the W, C & A R R, and the train proceeded on its way, bearing the crowd of pleasure seekers. " . ? : f j" Between . Cojurabia and . the Big . Pedee River we found the growing crops in a fine and prosperous condition. Everywhere in this part of tbe State both the cotton and corn crops look as if they had not suffered for want of rain, and much to our surprise that they had not suffered for want of work. On much of the lands between (he river and the city of Wilmington nothing is cultivat ei , but the occasional fields along which we passed, as well as the little towns through which the railroad runs seem to give evi dence of prosperity. ' , At 3 o'clock the train" stopped at Flem mington for dinner. Most of the excursion ists forgot that they had eaten a hearty breakfast at Columbia, and proceeded with a will to do ample justice to the good things spread out upon the dinner table of the ho tel. After dinner several of the party! tin der pretense of getting a view of Lake Wac- camaw, which lies just to the south of this place, ascended to the balcony of the second story of the hotel, but 4 as - there were some nan aozen weu-aressea young jaaies up there, and as several sheep's eyes -were cast over in their end of the balcony; we may be pardoned for stating that the sight of the Lake didn't occupy all their attention. How er, the tolling of the bell announced the .de parture of the train, and we were soon on the cars steaming for Wilmington, the Mecca of onr desires. a y . "i f . . jsl lew mues irotu w nmingr-on we were met by a Committee, appointed by the Wil mington Chamber of Commerce, and escort- ed by them to the city.,.

When, upon motion, the following resolutions, submitted by Chas R Jones, Dr T K Cureton and Maj J G Harris, were unanimously adopted : "Whereas. A-Dortion of the citizens and busi ness meu of Charlotte, have been the recipients of much kindness and hospitality at the hauds of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, and many otner citizens oi our sister city, ana. Whereas. We feel it due to them, and to us. that we make a public expression of our thanks and gratitude for the kindness, hospitality and general gooa leeiing, which have Deen shown us, then De it Resolved, That we tender to the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, and other citizens, our heartfelt thanks for the many kindnesses and attention shown to us, and we beg to state that their kind hospitality and favors to us, have not been without due appreciation on our nart. and that we will ever hold their action toward us in grateful remembrance. Resolved 2nd, That we take this manner to ex press our thanks to Col R RBridgers, President and General Manager. Mai James Anderson, Superintendent, Maj A Pope, General Passenger Agent, Capt W W Pegram, Agent at Charlotte, Conductors Clarkson and Sprinkle, of the Great Atlantic Coast Line, for favors extended to us, and for the special train, and ample accommo dations, afforded us on our excursion to and from Wilmington. Resolred 3rd, That we cordially tender to our fellow-citizens of Wilmington, an invitation to visit the -'Queen City of the West," at the cele bration of the bans of matrimony, which is soon to unite us in indissoluble ties to our "Sister ity by the Sea," on the completion of the Carolina Central Railroad, and also to unite with us at our expected celebration of the Centennial Anniver sary of the birth of Liberty and freedom on the Western Continent, on the 20th of May, A D 1874. Resolved ith. That all the" papers of the cities of Wilmington and Charlotte, be requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting. On mo tion, adjourned. Chas R Jones, J E Stemiouse, Secretary. Chairman. After the adjournment, we, in company with Mr Thos Tiddy, procurred a carriage, and visi ted the Manufactory of the Cape Fear Fibre Company. This was something altogether new to us, and we suppose is to most if not all our readers. This company convert the canes, reeds however strange it may sound into pulp, for the manufacture of paper, such as is used for the printing of this paper. The process is che peculiar to itself, and can only be appreciated by an examination of the manufactory. Unfamiliar as we were with the details, we became inquisi tive, and learned the following particulars in re gard to the manufacture : The caues are such as are to be fonnd in many of the swamps along our rivers and streams, and the supply is therefore inexhaustible. These are cut in the swamps, made up into bundles about the size of a man's body, and conveyed to the works on tboata,; These bundles are put into large iron cylinders, or guns, and subjected to a steam process of 180 lbs. to the square inch, for fifteen minutes, at the end of which time the front valve of the gun is released, and the con tents of the gun Is ejected into the air, and the cane is burst, by the expansive force of the steam into the condition of a fibre, resembling oakum. A large amount is baled and shipped in this state to mix with straw to be niade into shooting and roofing papers. W hen the fibre is to be worked up into pulp, and manufactured iato white pa per, it i3 first cut up into short pieces, freed from dust, and then put into' beating engines, and thoroughly washed, by which means more than one half of the original substance is eliminated. The washed fibre is then emptied into drainers, and from there passed into the pulping boiler, where it is boiled in caustic alcili. It is then ready to be bleached, and run into sheets on the wet roll machine. The sheets are packed in bales, and shipped to the paper mills to be made into news book, and colored paper. This manufactory, of which we were ignorant until our visit to Wilmington, is one of the most important in the State. It is in charge of Mr H E Balliere, than whom we found few cleverer gentlemen during our visit He informs u3 that he has spent a fortune in bringing his business up to its prlsent perfection, and that he is only now beginning to realize anything for his years of toil as well as his investment. Returning to the Purcell House, where we had been made the guest of Mr John R Davis, we in dulged in a good dinner, then repaired to the place of meeting of the party who were looked for a trip down the bay. By way of parenthesis, we desire to state that the Purcell House, is one of the best institutions of Wilmington. Here the traveler who visits the city can always find a pleasant home, with the best fare, served in true North Carolina style. The guests having assembled, procession was formed, and marched to the dock of the Cape Fear and Peeple.'s Steam Boat Company, and took the steamer Old Worth State, Capt Green, which had been chartered by the TPjlmington Chamber of Commerce, for a pleasant trip down the river. In a few minutes, we were steaming down the Cape Fear for Fort Fisher. TTe had noticed the shipment of sundry barrels andT)oxes,jwhich, we were Informed,: contained ice,iee water, and va ripus other refreshments. Two miles below the city, is a prominent, tree, which stands on the bank of the river. '" Tradition has given it the name of the . udram-7tree." Our "fHlmington friends, who were, mostly temperate folks, an nounced just before we reached that tree, that re freshments, consisting of divers and sundry "good things," were in readiness, and that the party were expectea to "tane something," on J passing the historic tree.' This was accordingly i1nn Tha IMrfv fliviii IqiuutamuI 4ln4 othertrees along the bay of no less renown, and respect was paid to most of them. The NorthState,' pursuing the even teno of her way; passed down, the river.until she reach- ed Federal Point, where the Committee of Ar- rangements, very properly decided that we had gone far enough, if the Charlotteans had to reach the city in time to. take the special train tmt'toM 11- i chow-chow, ete.;aldlways be obtained od tbe imTl'Jnm. arrangements are made we expect to speak for a nermanent berth mi - .VAr-.'i H , Thetripbackuptheriver.to TFumngton, was not less pleasant than her passage to the historic Fort Fisher. - The Seabreeze was quite as brac ing. The pole moon lent her rayes to mollify the inflaences of time, peace and circumstance. Here we may be pardoned for copying in ex tenso from the Wilmington Slar, of the 26th' ' TTilmington disappointed the Charlotte mer chants In many respects, la her tcfiirmiA, and lib eral and great commercial advantages. She proved she has heat, and that. It requires no strong friction to call it out. " Her combustibili ty is more on the social order, which burns best in masses and in a strwig' drought, and when ig nited, the heat is intense. Many remarked, TFll mlngton people do so improve , upon acquaint ance, and the longer our stay the more pleasant our stay and the more like home. f At 9 o'clock, we arrived at the wharf of the Freight Depot of the Wilmington. Columbia & Augusta Railroad, where our friends fonnd an extra train to, convey them to Columbia. Here Mr. Gregory, Chairman of the Char lotte delegation, returned thanks to the nrcants-of Wilmincton for the boSDitable njanjagr, yfeftehj tke ifhUrWtte wjhaiit were received, and introduced MrnJeo. E. TrilSoh,"of Charlotte, who sifld la substance. He was - sorry the tatk of returning the thanks of the delegation from Charlotte had not devolved upon one more worthy to do Justice to tte occasion than himself. IFhat could lie say to thank the good people of this city for their kind hospitality ? The kindness and hospitality of Wilmington was not unknown to the city of Charlotte, she Bad often heard of it, but the half had not been told. A few weeks since a telegram was received from a gentleman of your city, in which a party was invited to visit TPllmlngt.m. This party soon became an excursion, ire came with the expectation of being receiv ed as private individuals, not as representa tives of the city of Charlotte. Since our ar rival here we have been in the hands of the Chamber of commerce and Cape Fear Club and nothing has been seen spread to make, our time pass pleasantly, and we have en joyed it. We will have a pleasant story to relate when we return home W-i will tell our people of your treatment, and they with us will thank you. Here Mr. TFilson spoke of the resources of North Carolina, especially of the west ern portion the State, that TTilmington was the natural outlet and shipping point for the State. That as TTilmington was the city of the East so Charlotte was the central point of the TFest, and all the products of that part of the State were brought there., that Charlotte and TTilmingtoa were soon to be unitad by a Pailroad that would be al most an air line, That it was good for peo who were soon to become so intimately as sociated in the mercantile would should become acquiinted with cash ohar. Mr. TTilson here gave a cordial invitation to the TTilmington people to visit Charlotte. After Mr, TTilson concluded his remaks Mr. Kerchner introduced to the party Maj, D. Poisson, who, in behalf of the Chain- ben of commerce and the Cape Fear Club, bid the Charlotte delegation farewell. Maj. Mngelbrad was called for, and, briefly alluding to the remarks of his friend, Ma jor Poisson,' in behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and the Cape Fear Club, re marked that it Avas a matter oi joy. no doubt, to our Charlotte friends that they were about to embark for their muchloved city and homes, and in this way we would be hospitable, but to us it was painful to pait hith friends whose faces were-now so familiar to us. He.desired to say that this visit of our Charlotte friends would live in the momorv and affections of the people of Wilmington. Scarcely a c; smlty has befallen this ex cursion wort n recording; excepting one casfTthe entire excursion lias been pros perous earied, we have often been, dur" ing their s"ty, frw the reason, chiefly, that vc had too mn to accomplish in a given time; perplexed we have been, as who wpuld expect exemption from vexation un der such ciicuiH.ilaiices. Happily, however, fur man, the vexation and the fatigues pfcs way almost with the occasion . The wel come of friends, their kind enquiries, the oft-repeate l question and answer, the sweets of home which our Charlotte friends will experience, will serve to prolong the vision and heighten the interest of this trip. We have already probably tried those who have been willing to follow us thus far, and will claim space only to add that within a short time after the arrival of the stea ner at the wharf, most of the excursionists were aboard the special train, given for their ac commodation, and were . soon tinder full tteam for Columbia, at which point, thanks to Capt Sprinkle, a first-rate engine and good rolling stock, we arrived in good time for breakfast. Breakfast over, we had several hours to spend in the city before the departure of the regular train for honiel -f:The party scattered to look at thejity or to .call on friends. Among other places we peeped in at the Phoenix office and found Mr Selby, the geni al proprietor, hard at work. He thinks it is hard work to get up a daily paper in these dull times, and we fully agree with liiui. About 11:30, most of the party might have been seen lounging about the depot of the C, C & A R R, and in a short time thereafter our special train, conjtaing all our boggage, ice, etc, was coupledon to the regular train and wo were speeding on to Charlotte which point we reached without accident of any kind, about 6:20 P M, many fatigued but all highly pleased and gratified at the result of the trip. . We cannot conclude without saying that We had a 'most dfligbtful and pleasant- trip i .
