Goodwin, Chief Engineer. They pointed out to us the various points oi interest; one or tne most noted being the old home of Patrick Henry, tho immortal Virginia orator, statesman and patriot. His old homestead is a edefiee naint.id white and sits on a high prominence to the right of Staunton river, over looking its fertile plains. His sacred ashes, we are informed'rest at this place. Ko monument or marble shaft marks his resting place heret but his name- is enshrined in the hearts of the people of the nation. ill distinguished grandson, Hon iiiiani wire itenry resides ia Richmond, v a. There is also statute, if we mistake not ia the Capitol square at Richmond, erected by the btate. The railroad company are oushin the road as fast as possible. The bridge across the Dan river at South Boston has been completed bo that the cars can now cross. Tho track has been layed to t'.h side of Ilyco river and they will reach Roxbbro by the 20th of this month. Thev say the road will be completed here by July 1st, whea we aope Durham will give a grand celebration. The people along the line are anxious to visit Durham. The road bed is in superb condition and rolling stock nne. At the ditlerent stations. hand some depots have been erected. This road will prove an impoitant outlet South, for from what we can learn the road will be continued bevond Durham Kgypt Coal mines. Mai. I'eter J.

Reachinz Lvnclibunr. we found that wonderful changes had taken lace, since our last visit. eighteen months ago. Lynchburg is not what we call a boominstown: she is however, building up very rapidly upon a solid, farm founda tion. Millions of dollars have been invested here during the past year. There are not less than tea impor tant enterprises which will take sev eral million dollars to start them. One of tbe most important of these is the WEST LYXCIIBl'RG LAJfDCO., of which Senator John W. Danied is President It has a capital of $1,000,000. They will start many new enterprises. W e had the pleas ure of meeting Mr. John F. Slaugh ter, father of our townsman, Mr. J. slaughter, Cashier of the fidelity Bank. Mr. Slaughter, while he has been rresideiit of the First National Bank for 32 years, has bv his great energy and sagacity en gaged in othe enterprises, ia which he has beea wonderfully successful. He is one of the 'busiest men in Lynchburg. We also met his sou, tobt. slaughter, who is a "chin of the old block." He has an elegant reiom in the magnificent Law Build ing where he issuccesafully engaged ia the real estate an I insurance business, lie stands high ia the business circles, and is one of the orcniost enterprising citizens of hellillCity. Lynchburg will soon be closely connected with Durham, when we hope our business men will become intimate in the their business rela tions. According to population this is perhaps tho richest city in the coun try, lier manufacturing enterprises are variea ana numerous, embrac ing almost every thing. Her busi ness men are ck'vcr, energetic and pushing. In fact no city can beat Lynchburg. I wouder if people will know each other in the next world," atked Cad bury.

AN HONOR TO HIS It ACE-HE WORETI1K GRAY. A Colored Man ATIio Honors the Bravo Confederate Dead. The following speech was made by J. F. Harris, a colored- Republi can member of the Mississippi Leg islature, ia reply to a speecn oppo sing the erection of a monument to the Confederate dead. Mr. Speaker, I have risea here ia my place to offer a few words on the bill. I came from a sick bed and was forced to struggle np lean ing ou the arm of a friend. I stand here ia considerable pain. Perhaps it was not prudent for me to come. But, sir, I could not rest quietly in my room, sick though I am, and al low this discussion, to pass without contributing to it a few remarks of ray own. 1 was sorrv to hear tha sp3ech of the young gentleman from Marshall county. I am sorry that any sou of a soldier should go on record as opposed to the erection of a monument in honor of tha brave dead. And, sir, I am con vinced that if he had seen what I saw at Seven Pine3 and the seven days' fighting around Richmond, the battlefields covered with th mangled forms of those who fouchfc for their country andfortheircoun try's honor, he would not have made the speech. Wrhen the South was to be in vaded, those men, went forth to htfor what thev believed, and they made no request for mon uments to commemorate their bravn deeds and holy sacrifices. But thev died, and their virtues should be re- mem bered. Sir, I went with them. I, too, wore the arar. the same color that my master wore. We stayed four long years, and if that sad war had gone on till now I would have been there yet. I know what it all meant, and understand tha meaning of my words when I say that I would have been with my country men still had the war continued un til this good day. I want to honor those brave men who died for their convictions. When my mother died I was a boy. Who, sir, then acted the part of a mother la tha orphaned slave boy but my "old missus?" Were she livini? now. or conld she speak to me from those nign realms where are gathered the saintsd dead, she would tell me to vote for this bill. And, sir, I shall vote for it. I want it known to all the world that mv vote ia mvin in favor of the bill to erect a mon ument in honor of the brave Con federate dead. -We'll go a coon skin.
