Editor of the Wilmington JonrnaT writes from the Catawba Springs the following concern ing a trade in Western North Carolina we have not heretofore seen mentioned Among the most popttlar. and at present, I be lieve, the most lucrative, occupation in this im mediate sectionis the (collection of iierbs a'nd roos," and their shipment to Northern marke'ts. I was not prepared to see the extent to which it is carried here. Mr Shuford, the polite and at tentive agent of the "Western North Carolina Railroad at Hickory .Tavern, afforded ine the opportunity to investigate this matter so far as the shipments at his station was concerned. i These herbs and roots are pnt np with much care, in bales about the ' size of cotton bales, weighing from three hundred to three hundred aud fitly pounds, but npuch neater, in their ap pearance., f Prom Hickory Station the shipments average almost a car load a day, bringing to the Railroad about twenty idollars. Those shipped trom that station are trotn Catawba, Caldwell and i Alexander counties. They are sent principally to .Boston and rhiladelpbia, but 1 saw bales directed liChicago and Detroit. rrnm-' Mr i I enry Wilfong. an enterprising merchant'at Hickory Javexn, I learned that be wai payiug the following prices for the various articles J meutiohed . from the , neighbors who brought them in for . barter in greater ' or less quantities. It will bo iseen that many of these articles are to be found in great abundance in our section, and could ! be gathered ith moe profit: ;. : . ; , , i Roots. Angelica 6 cents; Hlood 6 cents; Butterfly 10 ceiita; j Indian Turnip 10 cents; Pink 20 cents ; Wormwood 13 cents ; Snake 25 to 50 cents ; Parsle 14 cents. j j Leaves Sage 12 cents; Roneset 5 cents; Com trey 10 cents; Peppermint 8 cents;' Hoar hound 10 cents: Elder (flowcrsV 10 cents: Ihornapple 10 cents.) j : M Berkies and Seed Prickly-ash Sumac G cents;. Sunflower (seed) 20 cents ; 12 cents; Watermellon Seed 10 to 12 cents: Hark 10 cents. ' I Prickly-ash Mr Wilfong had an' order from! Philadelphia for five hundred poums of Watermellon &Wtt. It is really wonderful at the enormous trade which is springing up in' these articles. The gathering and preparation of these roots and herbs for market is rapidly growipg into one of the leading industries of the mouutaio section f our State. ; j ;;...-";", .

North as well as South, are at present busily engaged ia discussing the proposed introduction of Chinew labor into this country, . and the proposition meets with much approval in both sections. Th imperative necessity for a greater supply of labor in the South is conceded "on every hand and the introduction of these Coolies seems to-be wished by all. except a few t.vcr-realousi friends ; of the colored race, who fear that it may injure the material and political prospects of the immacu late negro. We mast have more labor but, whether it will be wise to fill the void with this strange Chinese-element, is a "nutter 'Worthy of careful consideration. 7 ' ! . ; The idea that such a course "would injure thd negro labor aud drive them fron the field,' can be easily refuted, and that, too, byjj actual figures. It is stated that1 there are uioreTthan. four hun- " dred and twenfy-six uiillion "acres ofcotton lands in the South and that, of this! fut area, less than one fifty-eighth part was planted; 'with, cot ton last year. SThusv the 'negrj) labor Is "nl. sufHcientt to till'iust one-fiftvventh 'of the Arable cotton laridsof the Soutlt, while the re- nvuinder is left eiittrely idle. And the present proposition is not to injure or tel displace in any way the colored man, but to merely Introduce another element 'of labor," whereby 'the waste places of the South may be cultivated and mads profitable. Viewed in that sense, it can Well be said that the land is broad enough and 'wide eiiough for all, and fifty times tthe number of farm laborers now at work in the '.Soutn" could find the land to labor' upon "jT I '" ' But, before the firBtCoohe's, brongnt into this country, the 'matter should be' considered long and well, and in " all its different bearings.' These Chinese are a strange peWple; are, m rcali- t our antipodes in birth, education, religion and nationality,-and might prove rather I a band than a blessing.!
