Leaving Company Shops on the Wes tern bound irain at half past twelve o'clock, A. M., October ii, we were s 011 landed at (Jrecnsboro, there to be pushed about for one and a half hours without sleep, and amidst what seemed to us intolerable confusion. All this reminded us that the guage had been changed, and that we must patiently wait tor the train from Ui Jimond before wc could proceed. Just at day-breait we stepped off at Salisbury to lind that •we must wait here another hour and a half before the train on tlio VV. N. C. li. It. would leave for Ohl Fort. At last we started, and now for an enviable ride in a coach nearly filled, and mak ing about twelve miles an hour. Jt Arteinus Ward had been on board with us he would, perhaps, have suggested to the conductor that the cow-catcher way on the wrong end of the train; for ii the cattle along the road had been disposed, our speed, at times, was not so great but what they might have climbed right in behind and bit every one of the passengers. It called to mind the remark of one of our young friends? who bought a puppy near Morganton •ometimeago, and prposed fo take him to Eastern Carolina, and, in reply to a friend said that it would not cost much to take him; as he would tic a rope around his neck, and let hici trot be hind the train rs far as Salisbury. As we passed on, we struck up a con versation with our nearest neighbor. c who proved to bo a railroad man on his was to take charge of the convicts re ccntly sent up to be employed in "the tunnels at the Western terminus of this road. After talking awhile and making ourselves quite agreeable, he very cleverly asked us if we ever drank any thing, adding that ho had some firs rate whiskej if we would take any. We declined his would be hospitality, alter which wo did not tall; a great deal with him. We think that, at least, t wo-t hird» of the incn in our coach were each arm. Ed with a flask of whiskey from which they imbibed freely until tin peten charnisof whiskey and tobacco, made some of them feel so self-important a 8 to talk of challenging the conductor' 0 right to command order in the coach' We could not help teding a kind n t sympathy for a rispectable looking old lady, the only female in the coach, a g the whiskey manifested i ts exciting • powers iu the outbursts of prolane lan guiige, and threat# of violence which came with such grating force upon our ears. About 12 o'clock we arrrived at the thriving town of Hickory, situated iu Catawba county. During our twen ty minutes stay, we learned from a resi. dent of the town whose acquaintance we had lormed bafore, that at the close of tnc war there were only three houses at the place. Now fheio arc about twenty stores, all doing a good business. Seeing a large number of covered wag ons in town, we enquired what they had brought to market, and we were informed that they came loaded green and dried fVnit, and wc were as* surred that the number of wagons in town that morning exceeded thirty The fruit is of a good quality and com mand* about seventy-five cents per bushel. You can imagine how such" fruit would eatthiß year in Alamanco. The population of Hickory is estimated at 1400. The Piedmont Press, one ol the liveliest papers iu this pavt of tbe State, is published here. Dinner was over, aud our train was mvviiig off, when (he conductor signaled to the en gineer to stop. The cause of stopping cauie very near being a serious matter. A .voting man who had partaken too freely of Uie contents of those Iktle flasks, had ro far lost the power of maintaining his equilibrium that, in getting aboard, lie fell be! ween two cf the coaches, and his head came so near getting upon the rail tint the passing wheel pressed it aside as it rolled b\. It made us shudder to think how barely he escaped. But still be rose with oaths flowing from his lips. We wonder it he has a mother yet living? But we forbear comment. Five or six utiles from Hickory, and we arc halted again, this time to learn that our ogine is off ihc track, aud that we shall be delayed for sometime. " Already/' oiice more, aud we are soon at Icard Station, iu Burke county, the point of our destina tion by rail. On our way we bad a splendid view of the fine bottom land* of the beautiful Catawba, along whose banks we passed for several miles, sometimes within a hundred yards ot the water's edge. The corn crops look* cd to be flue. In our next We Will give you some 'ems which may iutercst ti e farmer. J. W. H. Happy Home, C., Nov. Ist. Iniiinnt Itrbnkin; the WhilP*. The following is an extract from a let ter of William IT. Thomas to Hon. James Graham, dated Oct. loth, I,s;W: '•Until the year 1830 the Cherokee In dians were as intemperate as any other Indians on our frontier. About that time the principal chief, by the name of 1 )rowiling Isear,becomed convinced that i II temperance would destroy, hitnsolf ami people, determined to live temperate,and persuaded his people to follow his ex ample. I was present when he assem bled theni. On that occasion heinforin ed his people that he had been consider ing and devising ways to promote, their happiness in future. He Said he had be come convinced that intemperance was the cause of the extermination of the In dians tribes situated in the neighbor hood ef the whites: referring them to ilu' present and previous of the Catawba Indians with whom they acquainted, a-s an evidence of the inju rious effect of intemperance. He direc. Ed his clerk to write in the Indian lan guage as follows.* "The umbrsincd Cherokees, b#rmging to the town of Qtialla, agree to abandon the use ofspir itous liquors." It was immediately signed by the old chief, who was follow ed bv the whole town. •'He then told them that he had serv ed them upwards of ±0 years, without any pecuniary- consideration whatever, his entire objeot being to promote their interest. He was pleased t> see that they yet had confidence in him. * * * To the above cause, temperance, is to be attributed their pre sent it-ate of improvement. The tine previon-iy spent in scenes of dissipation is now spent in useful employment. Each famils is now capable of reading the Scriptures in their own language, manufacturing their own clothing, and understand farming and the mechani cal arts as well as their white neighbors, to whom they are indebted for kind treatment and a friendly disposition in advancing theai in improvement." Ay OHBTINATB MOTHER Mrs. Bliss, of Mullet street, found a euchro deck in her boy's pocket, and when she took him by the hair he calm ly said: 1 Hold on, mother—it isn't your plav.' ' I'il play you I' she hissed, tightening her grip. • How came you by these cards?' ' Mother, yon shouldn't trump me this way ?' he exclaim: d. TrumpSl trumps! What do you know about trumps?' 'Why,mother, any fool knows thr| the right bower will take an ace every time.' 4 It will,oh?' she hissed as she walked him around. 'Of course it will. If diamonds are trumps, for instance, and I hold the ace and left bow'— ' Bowers! bowers! I'll bower you to death, young man!, she said as she walk, ed him the other way. 1 Or, suppose that spades were trump 8 and you held the nine spot- and king aud turned up the ace, what would rou do?' he earnestly inquired. 4 Oh, I'll show you what I'd do! she growled as Hie got in a left bander on his ear.

AMA I, CATION Yesterday, during the session ot the Superior Court, Win. Davis was tried tor larceny. Tho prosecuting witness in the case was one John Mclniire, a miserable dirty looking negro, from Rocky Point, iu this county. The lat ter had inditced the defeudant for rob. I biug his house, but the defendant prov* cd an alibi by several itnesses. Du ring the testimony in the case it crop ped out that Mclntire was married to a white woman, who was preseut in court as a witness in the case. After the jury had rendered their verdict of not guilty, and the prisoner had been discharged, His Honer Judge McKey, called Mcln. tire up before him, He fold him ttia t the laws of North Carolina did not allow inter-marrying o races, aud therefore the couple must separate, then, and for. ever. He also told Justice Gardener to issue warrants for tbe arrost ot the parties, and for the minister or mag is trate that married them.—Wilmington Journal 28th Oct. A colored man, who was lately re suscitated from what seemed death, but was only catalepsy, was entertaining his friends with the sights he beheld in the other world. " Plenty colored bred ren iu Heaven, I spec, Tom." "Oh, yes!'.' said Tom. " And how aboat hell —any down there?" asked another in terlocutor. Oh. yesi massa, plenty of dein iier too."

Walker's California Vin egar Hitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the na tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal properties of'which are extracted therefrom without the uso of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, ''What is the cause of tho unparalleled success of VINEGAR BIT TERS?" Our answer is, that they remove tile cause of disease, and the patient re covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator £\nd* Invigorator of the system. Never before in tho history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkablo qualities of VINEGAR BrTTKKs in healing tho sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation* of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. 1 he properties of DN. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTKRS are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera tive, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vix- EGAR BITTERS the most wonderful lir vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. _ - t No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. '■ Bilious, Bemittent and Inter mittent Fevers, Which are so preva lent i" the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama,. Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, aro invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various or gans, is essentially nocessary. Thcro is no cathartic for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS. as they will speedily romovo tho dark colored viscid matter with which tho bowels aro loaded, at tho same time stimulating the secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of tho digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease ■by purifying all its fluids with VINEGAR BITTERS. NO epidemic can tako hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, iTcad ache, Pain in tho Shoulders, Coughs. Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Tasto in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Pal pi t.a - tation of tho Heart, Inflammation of tho Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kid neys, and a hundred other painful 3ymp* toms, are tho offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better of its merits than a lengthy advertise ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, Wliito Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Nock, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial AfTcctions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Ej'es, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis eases, AVALKKR'S VIXEGAR BITTERS have shown their great curative powers iu tho most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Bheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.— Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, aud Miners, as they advance in life, aro subject? to paralysis of tha Bowels. To guard against this take a dose of WALKER'S VIN EGAR BITTKRS occasionally. For Skill Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bittcre. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so fbany thousands, are effectually destroyed and remoVed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an tnclminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints , in young or old, marrfed or single, at the dawn of wo manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided aa influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Yitiated Blood when ever yon find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it whei you find it obstructed and sluggish in the reins; cleanse it when it is foul; your leelings will tell yoa when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. it. 11. MCDONALD & co„ mul Gen. AGU.. San Francisco. California* and cor. of Wuahiiigtoii and Charlton St*., N. T.
