You prefer to go it blind. Barnacles "adhere" to the bottom' of a sinking ship. This is their "primitive way," but what do you mean by certain so-called principles of me ' ' tallurgistsr - Wbatuo you know about "so-called principles?" What are they? The world has never known but four modes 4f finding gold. One Is by pan ning; -another by amalgamation; an other 7 by : chkmnation ; another by smelting, Now,, which vtt these pro cesses embraces, the "so-called princi- - ples?" Would jou not like to appear ,very ' learned? Had you 'not better ' write i a book, or get Mr. Eilers to com pile one for you, explaining to mankind the "so-called principles?" You say that only "metallurgists of humble mold" ifollow them, and follow them "blindly." When tbe tyind lead the blind, they generally "fall into a ditch. Did you ever study Latin ? If so, you can read this,: Monies parturiunt, nascltur ridiculus mus. ; You then quote another paragraph from The Observer, in which a state ment is made that a limited portion of the capital stock' of., the company was offered for sale tdjtue citizens of North Carolina, he facts' are these: The company was organized upoD a cash basis sufficiently large to build the works upori a; large manufacturing scale, and to run them permanently as a' legitimate business. Most of the stockholders weremen,of large capital and business i experience. Not the slightest ideaiwas entertained of a 1 stock lobbing concern three-fourths of the whole Capital stock' were subscribed , for, and 0vtry Bubscribef paid his sub scription in cash into the treasury. This sum of money was deemed suffi cient, and it is sufficient, to establish and pay for the plant as originally con templated. All the machinery, tools, chemicals, furaces, and implements of every name and sort, were immediately ordered and soon afterwards construct ed, and paid for in cash. I have, up to this date, paid out between tour ana five thousand dollars in money for sim ply the freight of this large outfit to this place. Everything is as good as science and skill could make it. I doubt whether any smelting works in Ameri ca can show a better outfit Many dis tinguished men, well-known to fame in this country, for the money they have made in their metallurgical operations in the West have expressed their high admiration of our plant, our process, and our plans of , operation. Some of our stockholders suggested that as a mere matter ktf ? policy and not be cause we needed i the money, ; it mieht be well Jto offer' the citi zens of Charlotte, and its vicinity, a limited numoer or. snares or the com pany s stocK at a mere nominal price, simply for the purpose of awakening in them a personal interest and en listing in our behalf their good will, fraternal feeling and local co-opera tion. -By invitation, I addressed the chamber of commerce. At the close of my address, a resolution of thanks was gassed, and my address was ordered to e DublishecL-.Manv -of .the wealthiest and most distinguished citizens arose and expressed their willingness to take stocK ; still, not a single stare has been sold to, nor a single .dollar received from, any person, up to. this date, with in the State of '-North: Carolina. The reason is this: I advised my company not to be precipitate in this matter; that inasmuch as all our machinery and plant had been fully paid for with our own money, ana we naa no imme diate use for any further sums, I deem ed it more prudent to defer the is-' susing of this stock to the citizens un til our works should be nearer comple tion, and a grander ocular demonstra tion be made to them of the character of our works, and the expenditure of our money. My advice was accepted. All this took place before your scur rilous article appeared; all the. citizens ui. vuariebie are uviug witnesses or me truth oi this statement. Whether any. of your allies here, knowing the readi ness of the citizens to take stock in our company, had anything toxio with your article or not I do not know, but'it is a singular fact that your paper con taining it was mailed to a very large number of the leading citizens and business men of this city. Such an oc currence justifies the suspicion' that tnis wnoie aisgraceiui business was preconcerted and carried out for the malignant purpose of destroying the public confidence, In ouri compatty; However, several . rich men; personal friends of mine, have taken a large partion of our stock and paid the cash for: i$; so you see we are not the set of WiHdlerB'yotf would have the public believe ua to be.. Without knowing one. Of uS7 or the facts concerning our com pany; and,' moved with greaVdistress, and paternal solicitude, for the' ever lasting welfare of the "poor meh 'of North Carolina," you took the momen tous responsibility upon your philan thropic shoulders of transmitting to them a solemn warning not to invest their money in an enterprise so certain to fail. No honorable man will ever ac quit you of this dastardly conduct. Men who live in glass houses ought not to throw stones, especially at houses of granite, , What is there in jour history that gives you the super-eminent right to warn "poor men" against a bad in vestment? Have your, opinions hith eftaooneernlng mineral properties been Immaculate? Remember, sir, that you -have struck" the Tirst blowryou nave attacked me, and my-.company, .in the most cowardly ;and disgraceful mari ner. It is an unprovoked attack upon honorable men, engaged in an honora ble business, and with their own un borrowed capital j i i '.

You say that "the absurd puffing of my character and performances," in The Charlotte Observer, "placer mein the liorht if a charlatan." Wh.

V Thisis vm ftlthoughypu do titoMfap ur (w itia "froiAAdamt You do ncft seehxto like to have anyone ele praised for metallurgical success, lest it mignraax keh the' splendor ofyour illustrious star. You say that the article in The Observer contains "suspicions" that I am no metallurgist; on the other hand, I say to you that your article contains "suspicions" that you wish to say se to the pedple of Charlotte to prevent them irom taking stock in-ray conrpaay. and to my stockholders that they might, dis place me for inability. Now.'I w4h t to lellaiyou Bossiter W. Baym6ad,&that the victim of this great gun which you thought you had , fired, stands at the Wrongend of the gun; your wished f or catastrophe will not take place; there is but Very little stock to be tak en. I own a majority of the whole cap ital stock of this company.' I am the president of the company, and shall re main so as long as I please. My stock holders are a unit; .some of them are millionaires and have made their mon ey in miningnd understand metallur gy in a practical sense; they have put their money in with me, because they know me, and have confidence in me. Now, how do you like the situation, and what do you propose . to do about it? The .works are rapidly approach ing completion, and are All paid for in hard money. 'Besides, I now give no tice that if there is a share of the capi tal stock of the Adams Mining and Re duction Company in the United States to be sold, I will buy it and pay cash for it, at double the price it cost the owner. You say that the article in The Ob server contains suspicions that 'my scheme has no prospect of success. If so, I ani sorry for it. Should it un fortunately be the case, I should want to start immediately for the Rocky Mountains and expand on government pap. But let us see about this predic tion of yours. We . have a site of ten acres in the suburbs of Charlotte, on a creek and a railroad, with a side track Will this fail ? On this site we have stack about seventy feet high, contain ing seventy-five thousand-bricks, and costing about one thousand dollars. Will this fail? Will it fail to draw? We have a building t0 feet square, and two stories high, completely, finished, for helding our various mills, Will this fail ? We have an assay office 24 by 36 feet and two stories high. Will this fail? This building contains all the reagents, assaying tools, furnaces, scales, and all necessary implements of the best construction, and of the latest improvements, for assaying all kinds of ores; with one furnace capable of smelting 100 pounds at one charge. Will all these fail? We have many small buildings for various uses. Will these fail? We have a steam engine of 200 horse power. Will this fail? Will not the boilers make steam? Will not the fire burn? Will hot the steam expand? Will not the piston movet Will not the fly wheels re volve? Will not the shafts turn? We have a Blake's crusher, with the fragile cast iron parts replaced by wrought iron, large enough to crush 100 tons of ore per day. Will this fail ? We have roasting furnaces, all made in Pittsburg, out of Mount Savage fire' ciay, ana large enougn to roast one hundred tons of ore per day sufficiently for easy grinding. ; .Will; these, fail? They have been used and tested before, ana not iouna wanting, we nave double sets of Cornish rolls of large calibre, and splendid manufacture, wmcn nave been used au over the world. Will these fail here ? We have centrifugal pulverizers which are now in use in many places doing splendid worir. jur mills are large enough to pulverize 100 tons per day from the rolls, and deliver it as fine as wheat ttour. Will these fail ? We have three concentrators cabable of concentrating 100 tons of this flour per day into one fourth of the original bulk, containing vne mecauirerous particles, ana Temov ing three-fourths of their bulk, to be molded into bricks, and burned in kilns for building purposes. Will all these fail? We have toggle presses of great power for com pressing the concentrates, when mixed, witn me proper pulverized flaxes, into balls, to be charged into the smelter. Will these fail? We have a smelter composed of iron, sandstone, and Mount oavage nre ciay, moulded into matched forms to suit each part of the furnace ; it is so constructed that it can smelt iron ores, copper ores, or gold bearing suipuureuj, mixea witn argentuerous galena or other base metals. Will this fail? We have many other valuable" things not necessarv to mention : near ly all ot these are herc .and, have been paid for in cash. Now what.busmesl nave you to write and circulate an arti cle an over the country, predicting with ex-cathedra authority, like the Pope of Rome, that all these things will ha a stupendous failure, and that nobody ought to invest money in them? You nave maae an egregious mistake ; you will very soon be Droved to be a fals prophet.

THE COWPEIW CENTEIflflAIi. T(Hlay fl be celebra.ah ap propriate ceremonies another of the MttlesrrSouthern'soittfie the result of Which hastened the final catastrophe fo Xrowallisthd closed the contest for liberty at Yorktown. It is one in the chain of events with which Kings Mountain,' Cowpens, Guilford Court House and Yorktown are linked by their end which loom up so conspicu ously in the closing scenes of that memorable struggle, Cowpens is fa mousnot'sd much for what was actu elly achieved there as for the confidence inspired in the colonial troops, and the shock the British sustained by the re verses they then met with. From Cow pens to Yorktown the march of the British was a march of dread the anxiety of wffich was increased by the skilful maneuvering of Gen Greene and the additional repulse at Guilford Court House, which field Cornwallis abandoned in haste, which was in fact a flight leaving his dead and wounded on the ground to be buried or cared for by the enemy. The battle of Cowpens occurred Jan. 17; 17S1, on some pasture grounds near Spartanburg, S. C, whence it takes the name of Cowpens. The number of American troops engaged was about 900, under Gen. Morgan, and 1,100 choice British troops under Tarlton. Corn wallis sent Tarlton to attack Morgan, and compel a fight or a retreat into North Carolina. .As Tarlton advanced Morgan fell back, picking up such re inforcements as he coiild by the way. At Cowpens he halted: and faced his foe, forming two lines of battle, How ard's Marylanders; in the centre, the Virginia Militia oh the left and Geor gia Riflemen on the right. The British regulars advanced in unwavering line, broke through the first line, rather 'de moralizing the enemy. The Maryland ers were changing position with a view apparently to reaching a wooded hill in the rear. About this time Washing ton's troopers dashed into Tarlton 's cavalry, put them to flight and then were ready to go to the aid of Howard who when he saw this picked up con fidence, turned face, poured a heavy volley into the pursuing British at short range, and followed the staggering vol ley up with a charge of cold steel which gave the victory to the Americans, who lost twelve killed and sixty wounded, while the British losteighty killed and a hundred and fifty wounded. It wasn'l so much of a fight, but it was big with results. Among the ceremonies to-day will be the unveiling of the statue of Gen. Mor gan, and speech'es by a eminent men in which will be graphically portrayed the grand achievements of our Revolution tionary ancestry, a band of heroic men of whom any people might be proud. AM ATTACK AIHD AN AlfSWCB, In The Observer of April 15th ap peared an article descriptive of the works of the Adams Mining and Re duction Company, recently established near this city, which called forth an at tack in the columns of the Engineering and Mining Journal, of New York, as unfounded as it was unjust The editor of thQ Journal seems to have been in a sarcasTic mood when he wrote, and felt it incumbent on him to pay his respects to The Observer, while' engaged in the self -assumed task of demolishing a' man and an institution neither of which he knew anything about. The Obser ver hardly considers the article in question worthy of any notice as far B4it is concerned, and will turn the editor of the Engineering and Mining Journal over to the tender care of Prof. Adams, whose reply will be found elsewhere in this paper.
