The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron Works beg to call the attention of capitalists iron manufacturers, stock and dairy men, and those w ho wish to settle colonies, to their property.which ollrrs inducements to the classes above mimed. The property consists of Six Thousand Three Hundred Acres of land, located in the counties of (.astoii and Cleaveland, in the 8tate of North Car olina. at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, how owned by the Richmond an Danville railroad company. The property has been used for fifty years past as an iron property, and has been worked at various joints, but chiefly at the site of the celebrated Veilow Ridge Ore Bank, which has always yielded an ore noted for its richness in metallic iron, and lis softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends for two miles In length, has been worked to the depth of 147 feet, shewing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 66 per cent, of metallic iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the facts set forth can be fully shewn. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two years very large deposits of iron ore have been dis covered at other points. Within the past eighteen months, however, the owners have discovered de posits of ore in Crowder's Mountain, (five veins of Iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be fore, and which will furnish an amount of good ore. easily worked and above water, that must make it one of the most desirable Iron properties to be tound. They have discovered on the pinnacle of this mountain, which Is 1000 feet above the level laud. 2200 feet above the sea level, a vein of ore elht feet wide, which crops out at various points from the top te the bottom of the mountain, show ing in one place about 20 feet of solid vein. This vein can be traced over the top of the mountain for over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost Inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked. and above the water line. In addition to this four other velno have been found on this mountain. The ore Is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis irom 49 to 66 per cent, of metallic iron, with a small amount of titanic acid, and without any sul phur or phosphorus. The quantity of ore In this mountain Is simply Inexhaustible and of good quality, Beside Crowder's Mountain the owners possess King's Mountain, fur about seven miles, whose pinnacle Is the highest point of land from Rich mond to Atlanta, except Mt. Airy, In Georgia, and they have reasvn to believe this mountain is full of ore also. In addition to Iron ore the property has manganese, limestone clay for making fire-proof brick, gold and other minerals. ..Very pure and ex cellent barytese has just beeo found la large yuan-, tlty. -- ' '.

Baccalaureate Sermon by Dr. Haw thorne -Conferring of Degrees and Medals of Merit Captive Rosettes. Correspondence of The Observe r. Chaml Hill, N. C, June 5, 1S84. THURSDAY. The Baccalaureate sermon deliver ed yesterday by the Rev. J. B. Haw thorne, of Richmond, Va., was a master piece of oratory. Seldom has one listened to a more eloquent and impressive discourse. Mr. Hawthorne is about 6 feet 3 inches in height and has a commanding appearance. The chapel was filled with an eager throng. The band played "Nearer my God to Thee," and when it finish ed Mr. Hawthorne arose and read the 1st Psalm: "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of thV ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor eitteth in the seat of the scornful." . . , And part of 3rd chapter of Proverbs, ending with these words: "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace," and after prayer by the Rev. Dr. Skinner, of Raleigh, Mr. Hawthorne discoursed in substance as follows : "It is unusual, my friends, to de liver a sermon without resorting to a text to form the basis of my remarks, indeed my friends the apostles never did it, Luther never did it, nor the great reformer and I shall have courage to announce as my theme "what Christianity has to do with secular affairs of men." As a people we are in the midst of great perils and evils, and if these evils are to be up rooted and destroyed, there must be a better feeling of our people about religion, and of the morality of public men. We have given to Chris tianity too narrow a scope. The pulpit is a divine institution, having a divine message. It is strange it don't accomplish more. I shall bring no charge against the pulpit of this day. I believe that Christianity is being preached with more power today than ever before, notwith standing that some tell us that the ministry is worse than fifty years ago. 1 would like to prove it is better today than ever. More than one half of our population don't go to worsnip ana i say it witn caretul study. Where is the deficiency? Not in the gospel. That in which angels would like to nave looked into; tnat which was heralded by an Heavenly host, "I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all men ;" that which reveals God to man and man to himself; that which will delight the highest aspiration of the views of man, if rightly presented. Many of the most essential parts of our religion kept in the back ground, must be dispensed to meet every human wish. It is wrong for any to come to His gateways and not be prepared. Only a few are prepared to make such presentation as required by the time in which we live. From the seeker or doa s great sea or love, it must be received in full. Sectari anism is not the thing to construct the sermons this age demands. It is to preach God to the hearts of man, but the most difficult ever taxed the brain of man, it requires depth of learning, a sense of man's needs is the message of a preacher in such an age, but "its application to his needs are infinite. All that life is, all within testimony preached is, all interest of all life stands around about him, and the word he preaches must shed his life. Who is able to do these things? Not the person wha knows the ten commandments. The mission of the christian minister is to man, not to any element, but to the whole soul, mind and body. He .has two lives, here and come, ana toe Eiimsier wno hns not the couraee to ' Dreach them in mobs and on gibbets is not worthy of the name of minister. A minister who makes no application to society in the place in which he lives is dis loyal. The extended scope of human learning and discovery is increasing. Luther prepared the gates to the holy of holies, and Gallus explored the heavenly bodies, and events like these are occurring in every year, this widenins scope of human life. and the imnisters -of today are upoa an earta. the father.-never tread or Abraham never saw even in toe vision of the night. Tho christian religion must endeavor to prove no depart ment not touched by the gospel. showing Ihe manifold wisdom of God. Any act to narrow tne pulpit is robbery to God and man and to the la$t moment'bf my life I will condemn ail inexcusable ignorance. In an old Roman theatre a man leaped into the contest and said: Ahy thine that concerns man- concerns me. Any thing not to human interest ought to die. Mv friends, after a general treatment of the subject, will consider whether trade and pontics arewitnin the sphere of the pulpit mission. A man does ; not : set awav from the eospel when Be leaves God's house. tie can t escape tne oDiigauon. uoa's love is upon him. Christianity is not a robe to' put on Sunday only. but is a garment to sit in eating and drinking to tne glory or jod. xet how common it is to say religion is one thing and- trade is another. Christianity does not allow us to wor ship in God's holy tepaple today ami cheat m trade tomorrow. ' You'cartv pdt one dollar in the Lord's treasury today and steal a thousand tomorrow from the treasury or the country. Can't sell oleomargarine for "butter and water for whiskey: Says Phillip Beooks: "It is our duty to preach Christ, but what is Christ, the &aviour of i the world?" When I hear such words from such a man, a man tried a man oi great learning wnen t near sutoh words, I glory in being con demned in envying men s business in the pulpit. We may tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love, tell it beautifully, but men wi reppect for it if weshirk t.hiftt. hft was n. man of du: ill not nave to tell them that he was a man of purity and irv nocence; J. look around me; a man finds on his farm a piece of gold not larger than the head of a pin : a com pany is formed ; the books are opened ; the next thing we hear is that widows and orphans nave lost their all, their kraly support. Obligation to condemn 'arid hold up to public scorn, rand should 1 do less. 1 show cowardice to God and myself. Out yonder in that prison is a young man, once innocent une joy or a doting motner. ajook afchimnow. Unbn ms bi&ated coun- tejiance is written the' darkest histo ry, his limbs are rotting with disease and hisijps1 titter the 'Wahemy of the damned. '- Who is: esbonsiblef Y6ur nliarrof busmess. o'ef whose door is written rildedi sfettergi VDe iDiop," &c. There. Jies the man, the sruardian-iof a home once tt paradise N6 one excelled . hiiR att a husband. Last night he murdered bis wife,' exit' tne throats of his children ana then turned the blade into his own heart. Who destroyed him ? your man of business. In yonder mad-house, worse than death, are some weeping tears of blood, some chattering with an idiotic stare, some seeing worms in their flesh, some seeing reptiles in their beds, some seeing the fiends of hell, Who is responsible for these human wrecks ? your man of busi ness, who destroys mind and body. Do you tell me the pulpit ought to be silent ? Should I not speak against it my own conscience would make me mad. A religion and gospel which does not concern about such matters is not worthy of your respect, much less your duty. To show no politics as well as trade : In the two great parties a preacher, in his official capacity, has no right to say which is the most deserving; no right to say the Republicans are right and the Democrats wrong. Ministers have said it. but no minister can do it with out degrading himself ; but he has a right to say of the character of who is to represent him. The mandate law of right and wrong is rectitude i i - -. mi - auu nonor among men. xney raise or lower the tone of life ; a business so august can't be entrusted to any other than honest men. A man who can't be bought from right must be a man worthy to ber entrusted in mak ing the laws of the people. In the long rurj what a man is will work out of him. Men who reso-t to "bribery, to fraud in ballot-box will not do. If the truth ia not proclaimed from the pulpit, who. will proclaim it ? Not the politician. Unnst was no demagogue, nor communist, nor nihilist, but a friend of government; yet. histori ans tell us people heard. him gladly and treated him. with the most pro found respect. There is growing up in this country a despotism as cruel as any country ever saw it is that of money. Slave ry was a mercy to it ; it is a deadly enemy of human rights; it treats of God as a myth and human rights to be bartered. I know not what others would do, but I know what conscience add duty to God require of me. Be tween money and labor, I shall stand with the people, holding up the cross of Christ as aBymbol of God's love against any who trample him in the dust, buch a man as Jay Gould, who gives out to the world that he cares nothing for the people so long as Jay Gould prospers, cannot domi nate this country. The conviction is deep. There is a tempest gathering, there is darkness and blackness in the clouds ; the people will not want to hear the thunder sound along the sky,- or God's voice speaking in the clouds, but a time is coming when their eyes shall behold a cloud ; on them will it break with power and fury, on those who wronged without mercy. 1 tremble with fear, ray mends, . but not without hope. Through great temptations nations grow up. I remember a summer evening I spent in the valley of Vir ginia. The clouds grew suddenly as black as ink, the hills trembled "and the wheat fields bent low to the storm. The night set in upon the scene, and such a night that makes one thank God for shelter. I fell asleep, lulled by the music of God's orchestra, and slept till my eyelids were touched by the soft fingers of dawn The morn ing was glorious. It seems as if there had been grief in heaven and that every leaf had been sharpened to catch an angel's tear. As if God, our Father, had looked down and kissed the tear-wet cheek of his wayward child. Even so, my friends, may the morning cf joy succeed a night of darkness, and we can say with one accord, "The Gospel has triumphed. And Jesus is Jung.' THE GRADUATING ORATIONS. Today is as beautiful as yester day, and from early morn the people trom neighboring towns could be sen wending their way to old Chap el Hill.

This closed the proceedings of Thursday, with the exception of the "German" that evening and the Ball at night. It is well-known to all lov ers of the dance that the 'Thursday night Ball is the largest of the occa sion, and it would do me pleasure to describe tho magnificence of display, but as I am rather timid, and scarce ly knowing tarelton from satin, I thought that discretion was the bet ter part of valor, and concluded not to describe the costumes. But now and then glancing timidly around the room I noticed how the following young' gentlemen who were Ball managers had disposed' of their ro settes. First, Miss Jessie Gray, of Greensboro, N. C.,, carried off the ro sette of W. A. Graham, Chief Ball Manager; Miss E. M. M. Monteiro, of Greenville, S. C, the rosette of Mr. Jno; W. Wood; Miss Maggie Me . limon, of Raleigh, N. C, the rc sette of Mr. Geoi Howard, Jr. ; Miss Julia Do wd, of Charlotte, N. C, the rosette o; Mr. T. S. Keogh; Miss Re na Micks, of Raleigh, the rosette- of Mr. A: E. Wilson. Miss Annie A. Wood received the Chief Marshal's regalia; Miss Sue Richardson, of New Orleans, and Miss Nellie Wil liamson of Raleigh, also received re galias. The writer was not able to rind out the names of other ladies who received them. HANDSOME YOUNG MEN. It is seldom that a handsomer set of young men can be found than the managers on this occasion, and es pecially was Mr. W. A, Graham, of Charlotte complimented on. the. grace and ease in which everything went off, and the comforts which had been arranged for the gentlemen and1 ladies. His polite attention to stran gers, and using all his power to make each and every one have a pleasant time, won for this the fame of being the most pleasant ball had at Chapel Hfll for many a year. As the .gray dawn was beginning to appear, and the nebulous star of day was casting its rays over the morning sky, the lovers of the Terpsichore were seen wending their way from the old ball room with memories that will linger for years and years to come.
