The property consists of Six Thousand Three Hundred Aires of land, located In the counties of Gaston and Cleaveland, lu the State of North Car olina, at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the Kicliinoiiu and Danville railroad company. The property has been used for fifty years past as an Iron property, and has oeen worked at various points, but chiefly at the site of the celebrated yellow Uidge Ore bank, which has always yielded an ore noted lor its richness in metallic iron, and its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends tor two miles In length, has been worked to the dept f 147 feet, shewing at that depib a vein ol ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing an 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 wltliin the past two years very large deposits of Iron ore have been dis covered at other points. Within the past eighteen noutos, however, the owners have discovered do posits of ore in Crowder's Mountain, (five veil is of uvu ore, are Bxputwuj, huiui wero uu&uuwu vty- 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 found. They have discovered on the pinnacle of this mountain, whlctygjUO feet above the level land, Z4X) feet above the sea level, a vein of ore eight feet wkle, which crops out at various points from the top to 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 fonr other vein have been found on tills 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 ML Airy, in Georgia, and they have reason to believe this mountain to 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 been found in large quan tity. As a stock and dairy farm it offers fine opportu nities to those who may wish to engage In such bus iness. It has from three to four thousand acres of level or only slightly rolling land, which produces iflvws, grain and all kinds of farming products anely, and it is well supplied with water by unfili ng springs and branches, The other 4,000 acres embraced In the mountain ides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and word excellent natural pasturage for sheep and cattle, The climate Is so mild that but little shel ter lor stock Is needed in the coldest winters. The jnole six thousand acres are now covered with a fine growth of timber of all kinds, such as pine, hickory, oak, walnut, cedar, etc The 4and Is well tuted to fanning purposes, by those who wish to tolonue. Cotton, eorn, peas, oats, clover and grass, ind fruits of ail kinds are produced beautifullyjuid it Is specially suited to grapes and small fruits. It uld be divided Into small farms that would give to each farm variety of sou, and level and hilly and. It Is situated In the Inedmont belt, which to .noted for the salubrity of its climate, and the healthiness of its atmosphere. It is a region free from malaria and other unhealthy Influences. It located with great convenience to railroad facOi nes, being situated at from two to four miles from Jnr Mountain Station, on -a railway that has the most extensive connections wtta ail parts of the jountry, and which offers great inducements to wose who are trying to develop the country along to lines.

' FARMING INTERESTS. ! It is a conceded fact that the farms ing interests of North Carolina are in a depressed condition and the ques tion has been asked cannot the legis lature do something to advance these interests. Various suggestions have been made, among the latest one favoring bounties or premiums 'by the State to farmers raising the great est quantity of a designated product upon a given tract of ground. While this might stimulate a few farmers- of means to greater efforts to increase the crop on the given number of acres the number engaging in the competition would be so small that the object aimed at would be aj fails ure. The passage of a 'stringent dog law, in the encouragement it would give to sheep husbandry, one of the most profitable occupations the farm er can engage in if intelligently and systematically pursued, ; would do much for the North Carolina farmer. There are causes, some well known and others perhaps not so well known why our agricultural interests are depressed. Low prices consequent upon insufficiency of demand for the products of the farm is one.unremun erative compensation in consequence of working too much, land with- bad methods is another. For the first Of these the farmer is not responsible as he cannot help it, for the second he is, because he can.. The remedy for the first is in the increase of manufac tures which increase the number of consumers to be fed by the farmre.; Generally in the neighborhood Of cities and manufacturing points the farmer gets a pretty fair price for such articles as he has tQ sell while remote from these f he has to take what he can get'. EJvery faotory established in the State adds that much to those who do not produce from the farm, but who must be fed from it and whose wages go in great est part to buy from the farmer. Herein lies the close connection be tween the farm and the manufactory, and their mutual dependence, and the mutual aid they give each other. If. there wore ten times the number of manufactories in North Carolina, that there are, employing tea times the number of operatives the farmers of the State would be immensely the gainers by it, so that one-of the ways at least to help the farmer is to en courage the industries which will make a home demand for the. pro ducts ot the farm. ; Everything the legislature do u encourage the estab lishment and growth of manufacture ing industries it should do and every thing that any city or town or couns ty, where there are no cities or towns ef importance, can do for the same purpose they should do. While the State is mainlj devoted to agricul ture, while the producers so largely outnumber the consumers', high, or even fair prices cannot as a rule pre vail, and the farmer must suffer. To give him prosperity he must have a home demand, end a home market upon which he can depend. The Augusta Chronicle thinks it would be well for Georgia and other States to prohibit selling cigarettes to children,- as is proposed by the bill before the North Carolina - Legislas ture. '. j.;.V.: , '. 'j Mr. Cleveland denies the published report that he has tendered the Sec retaiyship of State to Mr. Bayard, and adds that thus far he has made no tender of a cabinet position to any one.- !.' . .! ; " i In addition to the Mahdfs forces the Fnglish in the Soudan will have an enemy to cope - with even more formidable, the climate which, as the warm season approaches, is a bad one for the European. John Bright says England has spent in Queen Victoria's reign in war $750,000,000 and had 68,000 killed, and the question may be asked, what has she gained by it? - The City of Mexico comes forward with a woman who gave birth; to seven children all in one day. The children died but the mother surviv ed. A young lady in New York took to eating arsenic to whiten her complex ion. She succeeded in doing so and at the end of twelve months made a' very fair corpse. According to a New York Judge, playing base ball in that State on Sunday is 'not a violation of law if conducted without too much racket. Boys in England are now having lots of fun putting ugly looking boxes filled with sawdust, with fuses attached, in the way of policemen. About 2,000 anarchists, mostly nan tives of other countries, reside in Switzerland. i It may seem strange but neverthe-. less it is true that a man's enemy is sometimes his best friend. . . Becky Jours tieieiits. Miss Becky Jones, the obdurate witness in the Haniersley will case, has become tired of r jail life, and a tew davs aero sent word to the Surro eate of New York that she was ready to answer questions. The order was given for her appearance in court on Wedne8dayf but when the deputy sheriff got to the : jail ; Becky had changed her inind because the weath er was too cold. ; She ol served that the frost on the window pane was very thick and she said she had co clothing except wnat sne naa wnen she went to jail in May last, -i She therefore concluded to postpone her visit to the court. The ' case, was adjourned to March 4. - Becky has registered the weeks of her imprison ment by pasting a eorton spool lanei on tne winuow irame lor eauu wee. THE LEGISLATURE.

THE INSURANCE QUESTION. Views om the Bill Mow PradiBi Belore the Legislature. Correspondence of lu Obbkrvxb. ' - There is now pending before the Legislature a question of great im portance to the people of the State, especially to the mercantile and com mercial interests; -that question i shall the present law known as the in surance law be repealed, which law, while it pretends to protect the people, really fosters the greatest monopoly known, and turns the people bound hand and foot over to the tender mercies of a soulless, monopoly. When a repeal of a law is proposed, the first thing to examine is the origin of the law which it is proposed to repeal, the circumstances . under which it was enacted, and the pro moters or instigators of the law. All laws should be in the interest of and at the suggestion of the people, the Democratic doctrine being "the least governed the best governed." ; Now no one will pretend that the people sought, instigated or promoted the Passage of the present insurance law. here were no petitions sent up by the people to pass it. There were no complaints by the people of insolvent insurance companies doing business within the State. There was no re quest in any way by the people to the Legislature to appoint either the Sec retary of State or tho -Treasurer as their guardians. ..j- ; ' Who, then, were the instigators or promoters of this legislation which it is claimed is so much, for the' interest and protection of the dear people! The answer is the insurance compa nies themselves. They so generously came forward and had these restrics tions and these burdens placed on themselves for their love and interest in the people. It is not charged that all insurance companies did this, for a good number of insurance compav nies had nothing to do with the leg--islation, and on its being enacted withdrew from the State. The people thus being deprived of competition, were left to the tender mercies of what is known as the South Eastern Tariff Association, the promoters of this legislation, and the parties who are active, through their agents and attorneys, to prevent the repeal. These are the wolves in sheep's cloth ing who propose by legislation to protect the lambs. They, through their agents and attorneys, approach the legislator and urge him to protect the people. "Walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fly." This much as to the procurers of this leg islation. Now who asks the repeal, and asks no more of the wolves' pro tection?. The people all , over the State, the merchants, the commercial cities, business men, all who insure property, all say God deliver them from such guardians and protection. Who opposes this repeal? Let the lobbies, the attorneys, the agents, the officers who receive fees from this legislation speak. Having seen who were the promo ters and procurers of this legislation, and who oppose the' repeal of it, let us next examine what has been the effect of it. The first effect of it was to drive from the State a large num ber of good insurance companies, thus stifling and preventing competi tion. The second effect was that the procurers of this legislation, having by it driven their competitors from the State, consolidated themselves into an association known as the South Eastern Tariff Association, and agree, among themselves, having driven out all others, not to compete in rates for business, and appoint a b jard in Atlanta, Ga., to say what tne rates snail De lor all properly m North Carolina. What next! The rates on all insurance in North Carolina are increased one, two. three, four hundred per cent, and to better enable this monop oly to plunder the people, this legislation provides that should any one, fleeing from this oppression, ins sure his property in any other coin- any, he shall not be allowed to cols ect his losses. This is protection with a vengeance. The eyes of the people are upon the Legislature, watching closely whether their petitions are to be regarded, or wnetner tne monopolies tnrougn tne lobby are to control. When a mem ber is approached by the lobby and asked to continue to protect the peo ple by refusing to repeal the law, let the member ask the lobby if he has any property insured, and if so, is not bis rate nigner tnan it was belore this legislation and ooutn Eastern, L combination, and look closely at hn!i and see whether he, in his zeal, rep resents the people, or the insurance companies, or the parties wnose pockets are tilled by this legislation, perquisites and fees. When a member is told tnat it is but little trouble or risk for an in surance company to place $10,000 with the Treasurer, let the member reply that if there is one hundred companies doing : business, $10,000 each is one million of dollars, and when the insurance company sees that the Treasurer's bond is only large enough to cover one-fourth of the State's money in his hands, the insurance company might well say, after reading of the defaults of treas urers in Tennessee, Alabama, Arkan sas and others, who will hold the Treasurer whilst the Treasurer holds the stakes. Bepeal the legislation, throw the gates wide open and invite competition. There is nothing truer than competition is the life of trade, and-i'free trade and sailors' rights" the cardinal principles of the Demo cratic party.
