Hege, of the Salem, N. C. Iron Works, writes that the gen eral maoager of the Main Granite Company will take a trip of inspec tion through North Carolina during tni month for the purpose of ascer taining if good b'lilding granate, marble and other building stones can be found in ton Stale in sufficient quantities and with .sufficient con venience of location for transporta tion to justify the establishment of large woi Its. Ihti company is said to be the largest in the United States, and have contracted to fur nih stone for some of the lirgeU government buildings soon to be erected. . Owing to the" long severe winters in Mune. wblep necessitates the stoppage of work for a consider able season, the company desires to co'ne South wnere work can he car ried on thoughout the year. Mr. Hege specially desires that every person who has stone or marble suit able fur buiidiog purport's to eorres pond with bins at once, giving full particulars as to location, recess to railrotd or water transportation, quantity, and I' possible send sample.

In the Portland (Me) Argu$ot (he otn or December we find a long com munication from Dr. Eugene Oris som, of Raleigh, Superintendent of, the Mate Insane Asylum, in which he gives the exact tiuto as to the expul slon of one E. C. Jordan, an evil dis posed, mischievous incendiary from Maine, who was expelled from Dur ham because of his bad and danger ous conduct. The action was Justifi able and eveo necee ary and Jordan was treated with more leniency and Biua c nsiaerauon tnan such a bad character had any right to expect Dr. Urissom's article would make a column and a half ot the Slar. At this late day it ia not necessary to c py at any length. Some effort wu made by Jordan, when be got back to his native iceberg, to make cheap po iticai capital out or bis expulsion ana 10 pose as a martyr te Uadical ism, but ws are not aware that be "elected Harrison," as the high priced Ni-w York hatter boasts of doing. We a use so-ne sentences from the concluding part of Dr. Oriasom's tter becsu-e of its strict truthful ness and j la'ice to the people of Noitb Caroline. Dr. Orisvom and ih'S writer are from the same count v. Ia youth and early manhood we were personal friends. In old age tbs ties 01 n-iendinip are etui strong, and ws caa bear sincer and intelligent testi mony as to the sympathy for the suffering that marks bis career, to his manly physical courage, (he was a gallant capUia in the Confederate army,) and to bis truthful and hon orable bearing u a c'u izen He writes to the Maine paper as fallows: The citizens of Durham have dons only that for which they should be honored, ia saving ffie and property by removing the evil doer ; and at the same time protecting the mis !;ulded and Ignorant from the dread it! nnnstquences to ensue from such misguidance Nor did they hurts hair of the disturber's head. Tbe liberality of the white people to ward the colored Is particularly shown in tbe .erection and mainte nance of State asylums for the col ored insane, and for the cdorcd deaf motes and Wind, and in common and Jraded schools for the colored chi. ren, end aleo for a permanent nor. mal school for the rxlored teachers, and appropriations for tbe colored Bute fair, all fiom the taxahioof the whole property of the State. Al through a very large element of the population, tbe negro can contribute but little, and the greater share falls upon a people already straggling nn der tho ordinary burdens of govern ment.: ' t - j "At the head of a great charity of tbe State, retired from active politics for many ' years, but aeccssarilv thrown ia contact with leading citi tens of all classes and parties, 1 speak absolutely from non-par liian stand point and it is but Justice to say that whils there may have been some in dividual acts of injustice by members or both partiee In tbe Bute, there wu no concerted attempt by either party to disfranchise any class of voters; and it is only the truth to say that ia North Carolina there wu a free ballot and a fair count No hon orable man caa deny these state ment.
