the Citizen, the Greensboro North State
says : "
"We had in our last issue what we re

It is very pleasant tp see the fine ef
fects of good and 'seasonable rains upon
the crops. From Asheville to this point
the eye is greeted with such, corn as ftas
not been seen in many yearsT The beau
tiful vallev of Mill river seems a granary
in itself, the Boilston valley through its
whole length seems one vast field of
corn, surpassed by the exuberant pros
pect along Davidson river.
In Buncombe and in Henderson, a
good deal of tobacco is seen, and in fine
condition. The acreage of this :crop in
Transylvania is small. : Mr. Young tells
me he has six acres in cultivation, which
promises well; but this is the only ex
ample in this county, of any thing larger
than a patch.-. There has been a snrpris
ingincrease in the cultivation of Sorghum.
Some farmers will make from 300 to 500
gallons of syrup. ;A. W; Connell, not far
from Brevard has a field often acres. The
cutting and boiling will begin next week.
Several varieties of seed have been plant
ed, all of which has a different period of
maturity. lae uDenan 1 Deiieve is tne

; : I noticed in Buncombe and the north
ern part of Henderson large fields of
buckwheat, but none,' in this county
along the road. : There is much rye sow
ed in Transylvania for. winter and early
spring TrastUrage. ' Farmers sow from 40
to 100 acres.; : -They are seeding now, and
some crops are already .up. ;. A";. :A
It is only a question of time when the
No-Fence law will be adopted here. The
sentiment of the people is steadily grow
ing in favor of the adoption of such law.
The fact that this market is not sought
now as eagerly as it had been by South
Carolina buyers of beef cattle, because
theyjieed not now go abroad for supplies
owing to the improvement pf stock unr
der the operations of the fence lawrid an
argument that cannot fail in: its forcible
presentation of the question. ; Another
argument has grown to have some weight.
01 iaie many neaa 01 cauie nave Deen
killed in the range, whether as trespass
ers, or from malice cannot be known.
But it suggests a danger that cannot be
guarded againsY only in one way. Cattle
must be kept "under the eye of the owner.
I have seen, little fifuit here. It is too
early for fine apples. Tho frost of the
10th of May did much injury to apples,
I think the crop is a small one. Few
peaches are to be-seen. Grapes seem to
thrive, though I have only seen what
Jasper Orr was kind enough to present
me. He brought me yesterday a section
of vine about two feet long so thick set
with bunches as to appear like one large
cluster. The cluster weighed four and
3. half pounds and there was not a defec
tive berry among the whole. It was the
Concord grape. I have always thought
this section peculiarly suited to the grape
and the production of wine. Mr. Lucas
from his vineyard succeeds in making a
real and a very excellent wine. ; . . ,!'. ;
It is very easy to appear extravagant
in writing of Transylvania. : It is surely
a most beautiful country with its strong
cuiitrasb- vi wiiu or majestic mountains
and unbroken forest, and of broad and
peaceful valley, margined with fine
dwellings and well cared for farmsteads;
with grain and grasses, and shrubbery
and flowers and ever animated shade
tree! and groupings of picturesque and
stately white pine, which seems to de
light as, a transplanted tree inf tha soil
of this and Henderson count'; aud jhen
tO'theae things may be added the large
herds of cattle which are the wealth and
the ornament xf the. valley farina. ;
ine county - is aisoTictr inr tne -pictur
esque, scenery and in the number of ob
jects in nature grand and beautiful.
lhere are probably more waterfalls of
beauty and of magnitude than in any
other part of the mountains, and most
of these are within a few miles of Bre
vard. Those on Little, river, eight or
ten miles away are perhaps the finest, as
having the largest volume of water, and
perhaps the highest falls.. But quite as
beautiful, while much nearer, are the
Maiden Hair Falls, three miles away,
Conestee Falls, eight miles (which Xviait
to-morrow,)Looking Glass Falls, up -on
Davidson's river, Toxaway Falls, and a
number of others, the supplies of which
come from high up in the Ble Ridge,
the Balsam, and its offshoots; leaping out
when half fledged from their rocky nests
to sport themselves in the placid vallevs
below.' It is the country for the tourist
insearch of the beautiful and picturesque
at the expense possibly of roughing it
sometimes in somewhat sequestered re
cesses. . ' . . '
Besides the exuberance of, vegetable
nature in-this country I have bo ques
tion there will be much mineral ,toeas-,
ure to reward research 'when the wil
derness shall, have been laid bare a little
more. It is. reasonable to expect that
goia ana other metals will be discovered
besides mica, corundum, asbestos, &c.
Latterly, a gold vein has been opened
about a mile from the Courthouse, just
beyond the farm of Mr. Lucas, and it is
creating some" excitement. Col. Clayton
tells me of an old work he was familiar
with in his younger days. . It was a tun
nel on the side of Little mountain, five
miles north from here, run evidently in
search of metal. , It was run in to the
depth of about 300 feet, and was the
work of . men usinsr iron in excavating.
Iron tools, or rather the- fragments of
iron - furnaces were found. ' The work
was done anterior to tho settling. up of
the country4-by out' people. ' Old people
have a tradition -of two people Of darK
complexion being the last to be seen
lingering about the mountain; Evident
ly that same old story of Spanish' search

Morphine' Gets in More Work. "
4 f4m weeks ago Mr. W.L. Rogers, of
Prattaville, Alabama, accompanied by.
his wife, came to Asheville for his health,
stopping at the Western Hotel. He was
rapidly- improving, and every hope was
entertained for bis permanent recovery.
Tuesday night, feeling somewhat restless,
he asked for a dose "of morphine, which
he was in the habit of taking,' but asked
that the dose, be increased. - He seemed
to rest all night, but in the morning . his
wife calling him-he seemed ia -heavy
stupor. Dr. Cain, the attending physi
cian was sent for, and upon examination
it was found he had taken too much
morphine and all efforts to resuscitate
him proved unavailing. At 1 p. m. the
unfortunate man died. All deeply sym
pathize with his greatly bereaved wife
and family. His remains were taken
home yesterday,
A Pleasant Tbjp to the Black.
Mr. W. H. Ross of the Western Hotel
returned this morning from a five days'
camp on the Black Mountain. He was
accompanied by Rev. E. B. Burroughs
and Wm. Murphree,- Esq., of StA Louis.
They all had a pleasant trip found
plenty of small game and the occasion
al howl of the wolf, heard from top of
Pqtatoe Top, reminded them of the wilds
of the far West .

... - - , POSTOFMCB, J ':
""- Asheville, Ni C-, Sept. 9.)
Messrs. Editors: Your uniform cour
tesy and fairness heretofore towards me,
induces me to believe that you will al
low me the space in your paper to make
a public denial of the base charge made
by the Black Mountain Pioneer of recent
date, and to denounce it as a deliberate
falsehood when it asscrts.that the busi
ness of this office has been careless, badly
and incompetently managed since it has
been in my hands; and further to. say
that the Advance in giving publicity to
the charge but stultifies itself in that
it has heretofore testified publicly to the
honesty, faithfulness, and efficiency of
the management of the affairs o f the of
fice since it has been under my control.
There have been occasional mistakes, as
there have been in every office in the
government, but no one can truthfully
say there lias been either carelessness
or inefficiency.- We have done our ut
most to avoid all mistakes and keep the
office in such condition as to serve the
public faithfully and efficiently. When
ever the President sees proper to turn
the office over to othersj I am ready with
correct' accounts -and - clean- hands to
"step down and out," . but no one shall
say I have been unfaithful to the trust
which has been committed to my charge.

THE WHEAT AXI COM
Official Report for August,
WASHiNOTOir, D. C, Sept. 10.
The September report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture shows the condition
of Spring wheat has been impaired since
the first of August in the northwest dis
trict of principal production. Heayy
rairis'were followed by extreme heat be
tween tiie first arid middle, of August.
The general average for all Spring wheat
is 86 against 95 in . August, 1884. .The
crop of last year was 157,000,000 bushels.
The returns , of winter wheat are almost
identical in-results with those of July.
The genera average is 65(3)08 against 65
in Jolvj; except, as result of threshing
may change : the present expectation.
The winter wheat area may be placed at
zi,uuu,uuu Dusneis ana tne remaining
area about 13,000,000. Tho condition of
the corn still continues high, ranging
from 90 to 100 in the State averages'
The general average is 95 against 96 in
August It was last year 94 in Septem
ber. Frosts have wrought very little in
jury and will be capable of little if defer
red ten days. The prospect is st:ll favor
able for a crop slightlyabove an average.
