U. &ix Thousand Three Hundred Acres Larrtf. ) The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron Works beg to call the attention of capitalists Iron manufacturers, stock aud dairy men, and those .lx tvmti to settle colonies, to their property .which oKers inducements to the classes above named. The property consists of bix Thousand Three Hundred Acres of land, located in the eountles of baatou and CleaveUtBd, In the State of North Car oiina, at king's iloiimalu Depot, on the -Atlanta and Charlotte Air LUie railway, now owned by the Uichmond and Danville railroad company. The property has been used for fitly years past as an iron property, and has oeen worked at various points, but chiefly at the site of the celebrated Yellow Kldge ore Bank, which has always yielded an ore noted for its richness In metallic kou, and its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends for two miles In length, has been worked to the dept f 147 feet, shewing at that depth a vein ol 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 tacts set forth can be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two : years very large deposits of Iron ore have been dls- 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 ot the most desirable iron properties to be found. They have discovered ou-ttie pinnacle - of this mountain, vbich Is louo feet aliove the level land, 2200 feet above the sea level, a vein of ore eight feet wide, which crops out at various points from the top to the bottom of the mountain, snow ing in one place afcout 2u 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 veins have been found on this mountain. The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis ' from 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. Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners possess King's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose pinnacle Is the highest point of land from Rich mond to Atlanta, except Mt, Airy, In Georgia, and they have reason 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.

The whole six thousand acres are now covered with a One growth of timber of all kinds, such as pine, hickory, oak, walnut, cedar, eta The jland is well ' suited to farming purposes, by those who wish to colonize.

Clingman is pursuing his ex periments, investigations and labors on the curative properties of tobacco, not' for personal profit, buc for the good it may do his fellow man. Let ters having been received by him from distant parts of the country that it was difficult to procure suitas ble tobacco, and 'asking whether some preparation in the way of an ointment or . plaster could not' be made, he gave his attention to corns pounding such ointment, wont to New York- and tried to get some of the most reliable druggists to manu facture it, but they declined, as the want of a patent would make if public property, and leave them little margin for profit. He then went, to to Washington . to : ascertain, about getting a trade mark to induce manu facturers to take hold of it, and he is thus engaged now. He concludes a lettef addressed to the editor of the Health" and Home, which first! pubs lished his articles, thus: . In conclusion I would state that in all cases where immediate relief was needed the tobacco itself should be used. Thus, in case of violent in juries, such as sprains, cuts or severe contusions, when th patient will necessarily be confined, let a tobacco poultice be applied. Also for violenf sore ! throat, inflamed eyes, cholera morbus, erysipelas, acute rheuma tism, sciatica, and like cases. : On the other band, where time is not so urgent, as in old or chronic cases, and wheu the person does not wish to be confined to his chamber, the compounds may be conveniently applied. Thus, for corns and bunions on the feet, for old ulcers, lumbago, pains of the body or limbs, such as chronic rheumatism and neuralgia produce, an oiutment, plaster or lin. iment may : be conveniently Used. Certain skin diseases may be ; con veniently treated in this mode. .Attain, horses, horned cattle, hogs and sheep require this mode ot treat ment. Even when tobacco juice is given to hogs for cholera, different persons are liable to make mixtures of such variable strength that an over-dose may sometimes be given. Persons ou.a;ht perhaps to be re minded that while a small plaster of tobacco may be kept on for days, yet, that when a large surface of the skin is covered, Irom two to four hours is long enough, as nausea may be pros duced if the application is too long continued. As long aa a violent pain is felt, however, no nausea is likely to arise. The effects of alcoholic stimulants are just the opposite of those pro duced by the tobacco Spirits and wine increase the circulation of the blood, and may be termed inflamma tory in their action, but depress the nervous energies or seem to deaden the nervous action. The reverse is true ; of tobacco. It is a sedative to the circulation of the blood, and hence rapidly allays inflammation, but is a remarkable nerve tonic. Hence, when nausea has been caused by it, spirits or winemay be properly used as a remedy. ; . Attempts are made to prevent per sons from using a tobacco application by telling them that the deadly poison nicotine is obtained from tobacco, but it is also true that whiskey can be gotton from grain, and yet people continue to eat bread made from corn and wheat. Even peaches are eaten, though peach brandy is generally re garded as an unwholesome beverage. The process by -which nicotine is ex tracted from tobacco is much more complicated than that by which spirits are distilled from grain and fruits. ' - Tobacco when applied freely has a relaxing and weakening effect on the Suscles at first, but by the next day e muscles recover their strength. . If the tobacco be placed on the skin dry or only a little moistened, some irritation may be produced perhaps by its oil, but after the skin has been moistened for an hour or two, only the sedative effect will be percftived. The Raleigh Chronicle referring to the criticisms upon the legislature for its. tardiness in the transaction of important business remarks that much time in. the first pari of theses sion is necessarily occupied in get ting j into working order, and some time must be given for the young orators to "electrify the country." They have gotten pretty well through this and the preliminary work having been, mostly , done we may now ex pect them to come down to business. Cussing the legislature is one of the prerogatives of the American citi zen, which he appreciates and doubt less enjoys. i 1 - The editor of the Philadelphia American is presumed to be a man of sense and yet ho Was fool enough to write the following: ; " The reception of the Liberty Bell in the South, barring the Jeff Davis incident,- has been a great success and marks with emphasis the influence which an act like its sending may have upon the relations of the sec tions. The encounter with Davis was maladroit, most decidedly, but acci dents are always liable to happen; and it disappears, of course, in the recep tion at New Orleans und the contin ued exhibition of the old relic. Senator Bayard's friends contend that he is too poor to be Secretary of State, r ; The present Secretary of State certainly spends $20,000 a year out side of his salary. ' Mr. Evarts; who was a very liberal entertainer, spent something, in the neighborhood of $40,000 a year when he was Secreta- A Raleigh report says : North Car olina is to have another orphan asy lum! It will be exclusively in charge of the Baptists. - The site is chosen near Thornasville, in the Piedmont section, and J. H. Mills, late superin tendent of the Oxford Orphan Asy lum, will be in charge. s. The man who said in the legislature that "the pale moon would bush to own the stars as her sisters" before he would vote for the bill to pension disabled confederate soldiers has a future before him a future among the stars, perhaps;- - It was Rimus Roulhac, of Bertie, Rep. -. . - - The tax from drummer license last year amounted to $63,000. - - Mr. Randall's friends say that he does not desire a place in the cabinet, preferring to remain in Congress. There are 16,000,000 schoolchildren in the United States, 10,000,000 of whom are enrolled in the public schools. Suit has been instituted by the heirs of one Richard Donahue for 300 acres of property located in the business centre of Detroit, Michigan, valued at $50,000,000. . In the public schools of New York there are 1,000,057 pupils,' and in the normal schools and colleges 172,123 additional.. The aggregate value of school houses and sites is is 131,937, 951. The total cost of maintaining the common chools during the past year was $li;834,911. The State has eight normal schools. Gov. Glick on the Family ot Prohibi tion. Chicago Tribune. - Speaking of the enforcement of the prohibitory "law in Kansas, ; Gov. Glick said it was a great failure. "The -liquor traffic," said he, "has become - a go-as-you-please . affair. One town which . had tort j saloons, yielding an annual revenue of $40,000 under high license, now has 160 pla ces where liquor is sold. - In another town where- the law is apparently enforced, the express agent told me 600 cases of beer were delivered a week, and in one day 100 five gallon kegs of whiskey were delivered. . This private drinking is one of the sad ef fects of prohibition. In certain cities places are licensed to sell lemonade, soda water, and other drinks.' The records of these cities show a less number of persons convicted in the police courts for drunkenness than in towns where there is not this ( li cense or monthly tax. .' Another pe culiar fact is shown by these records. The to.irns having" the noisiest Prohi tionists, which have become noted for it have the most convictions for drunkenness. -In one town where a Prohibitionist who has achieved some reputation as a lecturer on this sub ject, resided, the receipts of liquor by railroad had increased fourfold with in three years. ; V: f '."Where the saloons are closed there is an increased consumption of liquor. Where they, are not closed they are vastly more numerous than under license, and do not pay "a cent of revenue. A high license system will eradicate intemperance more rapidly than any other means. Of this I am convinced beyond a doubt by the history of Kansas for the last three years." Abomnible Meanness. NashDle World. The Times-Democrat says that re cently a Pullman car," containing a millionaire and his family and friends made a trip South. They fared sumptuously every day and had a glorious time generally. 1" On their return trip the train was stopped by two ragged urchins waving shreds of white cloth, just before it reached a place where a bridge had been washed away. . On the spot and in sight of the terrible chasm that yawned for their destruction, and from which the buys had saved them, a purse was made up to reward the saviors of their lives. Pierre Lorillard gave' the sum of "$5.00;" , This will cliDg to the man of millions like the srjin of Nessus. If it had been Mr. Van derbilt he would have placed both those' boys at school, and after they had ." been 'educated he would have given them positions of pay and trust. Besides he would have made the mother and father and family com fortable by a competency. The cabin would have given place to a nice dwelling. There is a difference in men. Look at Vanderbilt's generosi ty to his - fellow-man in ' many: in stances, and the parsimony of Pierre Lorillard to those heroic' boys! We hope for the sake of humanity that the Times-Democrat is mistaken. A Civil Rights Decision. Baltimore, Feb. 2. Judge Morris, in the United States district court today rendered his decision in the case of Martha Stewart and th$ee others colored, against the Baltimore and . Chesapeake ; and - Richmond steamboat company. The libellants purchased first class passage tickets on the steamboat Sue, after having been told they would not be admitted to the sleeping apartment occupied by white females. - This suit was brought to receive $500 damages each for exclusion from that - apartment Judge Morris said it was the right of of a common carrier of passengers to make regulations for the' separa tingof different classes of passengers, but they have no right to make any difference in the comfort or conve nience of those who pay equal fare. The forward cabin assigned to the colored females was not in as comfor table a condition as that assigned to; white females,' and he therefore awarded a decree of 100 to each of the libellants. Notice of appeal was given. Peabodv Educational Fond, i Col. J. E. Peyton is in Nashville,-in the interest of - the Peabody school fund. In 1869, Mr. Peabody, at Bal timore, invested $300,000 in Tennesee State bonds for educational purposes in. the South. , Mr. Peyton will ask the Legislature to appropriate money to pay the interest on these bonds, inasmuch as the board of trustees have expended $300,000 in Tennesee school-houses and in support of the State Normal College. His proposi tion has received a most "favorable response, and it is thought that the Legislature will yield , to all his de mands which are just.-: He asks that Tennessee place the r eibody Jbondson the same footing as the school bonds of the State, the interest of which has provided for annually. If this is done the interest will be for the maintain ance of tbe State Normal College es tablished here for the benefit - of the whole South. Fire Proof Cotton Bazginff- A Georgia machinist has invented a fire proof cotton bagging which promises to abolish the old jute bag ging and reduce the cotton insurance rates tominimum figures. It consists of an earthy or asbestos like sub stance, dissolved in a glue-litce white wash, and spread over bagging made of cotton goods. The invention is called "anti-phlogan, and the inven tors claim that it is easily made, is as cheap as sand and that the . whole bagging is made cheaper than : the jute or gunny nagging now used. : ABOUT THE 8TATE.
