In the pars ticular section adapted to grape cul ture the unimproved lands sell at from $100 an- - acre tip to a much higher -figure ' according to the "par ticular advantages they possess.-- The Piedmont country of the South is also well adapted to grape culture, perhaps as well, taking all things into consuls eration, as California, but there capi. tal has -been largely in vested, and the industry has bad a boom, so to speak. Mrl "George' A. Smith, "writing from, lyon City,' N. C to Bradstreet's New York Importer, draws attention to. the subject thus: ;J r see in your issue of December 6 an article on the grape, and vine in dustrjr in-3 California. JL believer it would f be ' profitable - to investigate this section of our country .as regards fruit growing o.f almost all kinds, especially the grape. . Trace this sec tion out and you will see that we are in the southwest corner of the State, close to the South Carolina line. The mountains here are peculiar in their formation forming almost ahorse-, shoe, opening at the south. This for mation protects us from the cold in a remarkable ' degree. ' During - cold, waves from the north the thermome ter will be from 6 to 12 degrees lower eighteen miles further up the railroad, in! the mountains. In this formation tov circle of mountains from Colum bus, N.; CM around into .South -Caro lina, there- is about fifteen miles of thermal belt, i. e. from foot of moun tains up about one fourth or one-third the distance to top. ! , . - I ' ' The mountains are covered to . the summits with timber, therefore this belt . receives.all decayed vegetable matter - as art eposit, ,1 am a a deposit.'., I. am a New lin rr mnr Vi n vr A i n iraof i rv n fori miirA tboroughly- this r country for; fruit erowineand an eauable climate, and eain say .truthfully that jio place I hftve ever seen .compares with its fts and evenness of climate " I have l here one year, and have found spring, summer and autumn des' tful; The mostf last winter Was ; the thermometer, stood at six degrees for one day only. Land can 1)9? bought now on this belt lor $10 per &cte. r and in, some localities at Dossi- bly less. ? In my opinion, it will turn like California. Ia.a few years d here will be high, as it is' mid- y between: the North and South, Kood markets and principal cen ters. , Northern people are welcomed here. Many are already putting out fnlit trees and vines, f I saw peaches gr$ wn on this belt last summer that weighed 1 H ounces, arid grapes as fine, I believe, as can begrownJ This place is on the line of the Asheville & Henderson villerailroad twenty-eight miles north of Spartanburg, S. C. i: . "", Tbero is no section of North Caros lina jin ; which the grape . does not thrive, and when looked after and properly cultivated,' , i yields aston ishingly. - - It has taken years to bring the grape industry of Calif ornia to its present success and prominence, and no$ a little money.- Its wines are now recognized upon the market and find, ready sale. The' difficulty' with North Carolina wine has been that it had no recognized status in the mar ket, and the few men, comparatively who engaged in wine making had npt the capital , to invest to build up a reputation for their products ia the same field with already established EuropoanT and California brands. And yet some of the wines made" in this section are as fine as those from any viney ard; North Carolina ; will yield grapes," and yield them abun dantly, but it will take money and system to make their growing profits able, and build up the industry to any considerable extent. - . , The .

I ' believe, brave all these obstacles, because t they . are monarchists in -- principle,., bearing deadly hatred to their Republican fellow citizens, impatient under the ascendancy of Republican principles, devoted in their attachment to , Eng land and preferred to be placed un der despot' em if. they cannot hold the helm of the government here. I see in their separation no evil but the ex ample, and I believe that the effect of, that would be corrected by an early and humiliating return! to the Union, after losing much of the pop -ulation of their ; country, in-sufficient in its own resources to feed numerous inhabitants, and inferior in all its al- lurements to the more inviting soils, climates, and government, of, tbe other States. ...Whether a dispassion ate discussion before the public of the advantages and disadvantages of sep aration to both parties would be the best medicine for this dialytic fever, or to consider, it as sacrilege ever to touch the question, may . be, doubted, I am myself generally disposed to in dulge and to follow, reason,: and be lieve that in bo case, would it, be safer than in the present. Their refractory course, however, will not be unpun ished by the , indignation of their co States, their: loss of influence with them, the censures -of historv. and the 'stain on the character of their State.
