Ho was about -two-score and -two-years
old ; the weight of years had not stooped
Lis nhmilders ; his hair was only slightly
besprent with rays and gleams of silver

lutie usually lit his blue eyes, but in a

- On entering upon the duties of the Ex-
ecutive office, like he did in the practice
of his profession, he devoted his undivi-

ho began to erect monuments 01 otate-

of marble or of brass. Every engine,
which m daily treading iu iron-pathway
in the borders of the State, whistles and
thunders his zeal, his activity, his patriot-

names in history !

Their discussion in Cumberland ia yet
fresh in the memories of all who heard it.
Henry opened the debate. He was flush-
ed w ith the highest hopes. He wason his
native heath and surrounded by the friendi
of his youth and earlier manhood. Con-
seiousness of this made him strong
and eager for the contest and more nn-
sparingly severe in hiss attacks upon the
public life of his competitor. He charged
him with Wing largely interested in the
Banks and with being heavily indebted to
them. Seeing, as he advanced in his bril-
iant and territic argument, the brightening
and exulting countenances of hi own
friend and the down-8inking and despnir-
ing facts of his competitor's, he rose
higher and higher, and roused np more
and more, nntil he towered imperially and
grandly in the pride and power of his in-
vective, his denunciation and his eloquence,
He appeared a young god in the might and

in which Henry had left him. He, how

but not in excitement and his triumph

man and to devote himself exclusively
TT P
to his private allairs. His protession-
al life had been pleasant and his practice
lucrative ; but he was at that age
.ill .SHU lly nuuu v . v . . -.
He early became greatly engrossed in
manufacturing-for he could do nothing
without doing it with alibis might a
business, which he carried on up to his
death. He was a pioneer in that business,
and his factory is situated on a river and
in a country, that will, before many years,
be vocal with the music of the spindle and
the loom. The whole earth, Irom below
his factory westward, forty or fifty miles, is
richly imbed 3ed with coal and iron, and
in no land is mere nner or more oesira-
ble mill and factory sites than along the
scholar, whose works every daughter of
the country has read and admired. He
manifested a great interest in its prosperi
ty ; cultivated the grove of oaks in which
it is situate ; had its walks lined with flow
ers and shrubbery ; procured able and ef
ficient principals and professors ; visited
the school frequently during the sessions ;
and always attended its annual commence
ments. Before the late war, he had ad-
Apil nnotlier mamifitnt building nnd Ih.
gchool was eoual in nrofieienev of scholar-
shin and PTcellenev of disrmlinp tA nnv in
p ana excellency 01 aiscipnne to any
the whole South. Thence, went forth, ev
ery Mav, thoroughly educated and ac
complished young women, who are now
scattered over nearly every Southern
State, ornaments of their parents and hus
bands, and blessings to their children and
society. He did not establish this institu
tion of learning in the expectation, that it
woidd yield him much, if any, income ;
but he did it, because of his great desire
to spread female education, refine society
and bless and elevate mankind. Nothing,
neiuier me smanness 01 numbers, the in
consideranieness ot the income, nor flour-
ishing competition, could have induced
him to give it up so long as he lived. Dur-
ing the very last year of the war, two
causes stopped it : The difficulty of pro-
curing provisions with the depreciated
Confederate currency, and thedemands of
bis buildings for a General Hospitid for
the sick and wounded soldiery. To thou
sands of persons there are around and
about Edgeworth endearing and hallowed
associations aud memories, which make
them hope, that ere long its doorR will be
opened and the angel forms of sweet Hrle
again nne us walks and enliven its halls!
No matter how correctly a person may
conduct his walk in this life, tho shafts of
envenomed defamation will be, often,
sneakingly and, sometimes, openly direc
ted against him. Twos so in the "highest
type of man that ever trod the earth. Nor
is it, thererore, wonderful, that it should
be so in the case of frail mortals. Gov.
Morehead, with all his moral elevation of
character and greatness of intellect, did
not escape. Ever and anon, it was w his
pered, that he was stlfish. That was the
principal charge against him in his autumn
ilaysselfishntss ! Ay, he was selfish not
meanly, sordidly and basely so but emi
nently and nobly selfish ! No man is worth
a grant, who is totally' destitute of this
motive-power. Whoever is sclfess, cares
uothingfor the interests of others : who-
ever is set less, despising the interests of
others, would willingly see society de-
moralized and government demolished. In
every man, there shomd be the element cf

Du we are told, he planted the foundation
of a city at the terminus of the Atlantic
road, and that was the reason, he was so
anxious for it ! Suppose he did all we
regret is that it is not now as populous a
New Orleans or New Y'ork. Should his
efforts already expended there be the
means of building up and making More-
head City large, opulent and flourishing,
we should bless his name and honor his
memory. It would, like most he did, ben
efit and bless others more than it did him
or can his descendants. O, for more such
selfishness !
The first and only public position, which
uov. JMorehead ever filled, ot a national
character, was that of a delegate in the
Peace Conference, that assembled in the
City of Washington early in 1861. He
went there an ardent and devoted friend
of the Federal Union. He went there
hopefully he went there to labor and to
counsel for the accomplishment of the
gieat end in view. He bent all of his en
ergies ; exerted all of his skill and persua
sion ; worked continuously and untiringly
lor a month to stay the tide 01 blood and
woe, which, all feared, was setting in ra-
pidly and irresistably. But the patriotism,
which called that august body together,
was destined to disappointment. Bad ambi
tions determined, that the dogs of war
should be let slip. On his return, the citi
zens ol Guilford assembled in the court
room to hear his accou nt of the doings of
the Conference. None, who heard it, wii
ever iorget his speech. All had escaped
the 1 andora-box except hope. He stn
noped, but it was scarcely more than the
hope of an expiring man. His usually
ongtitiace wore 'an expression ot the
deepest gloom. He had loved the Union
long, he had loved it well, and to think of
its disruption was heart-rending to such a
patriot aud statesman. His words were
full of pathos and tenderness, and he coun-
se.ed a wise and firm moderation and an
implicit trust in mm, who ruiein among
the kingdoms, empires and republics o
the earth. That was the last time he talk
ed for the Union, a cause in behalf o
which tho utterances of his tongue had
been more eloriuent than on all other sub
ject to which ho had ever gjokvn.

He was always social and affable ; but his
sociability and affableness increased very
much in his latter days. He was much
more at home than hitherto and had more
leisure to mingle with his neighbors and
friends. We remember vividly and with
exquisite pleasure the evenings which he
was wont to spend down town m the
summer and aulumn of 1865 and in the

and most eloquent men in that body for
live days having attacked his plans of in

plentiful deposits of bituminious coal, copper,
iron, salts, and there is every reasonto believe
from general and surface indication's, petrole
um or mineral oil.
The services of two practical and efficient
men, experienced in boring for oD. and stimu
lated by a long course of success in Venango
county, Pennsylrama, were secured by the
company seTerai montns since aim tney ar
now on the lands, with the requisite force,
tool, steam engine and machinery, boring
well with very flattering prospects of success.
Th organiration of this company effected
some time since haa now been perfected in le
gal form, by act of incorporation, with a capi- 1
tal of 1500,000, divided into 100,000 shares of
$3 each, $50,000, shares of which or an amount
or stoclc equiTalent, par value, to 1250,000,
have been reserved and set aside for a working
capital.
It is well known that a superior article of
bituminous coal is now heina mined in ths
Deep river coal rec-ion, wher a portion of ths
lands are situated, and this company owns
property known to be equal if sot Superior to
any on which shafts ha ?e been sunk. Copper,
iron and salt also abound, and the attention of
capitalists has already been directed to this
soction on account of its value for ths shots
minerals.
In order to have sufficient means to develop
tliisTal uable property in such a manner ss to
insure success, tbe Directors havs tuthonred
10,000 shares of the capital stock to b sold to
raise s working capital, sod subscription for
V ml number or any part thereof will bs rs
ceived. An opportunity uncommonly favorable for
investment is thus afforded, one advantage bo-
mg max au w no cnooee to duj stock under
this offer will obtain it upon far more reasona
ble terms than can be looked for in a short
time, after the immer.ss value and mineral re
sources of these Isnds become known to ths
public.
As there aro most favorable reasons for
believing that petroleum will be found at no
great depth, and in profitable quantities, it
would be advisable for all who propose inves
ting to do so at once, and embark in the en
terprise, which, after the example of the im
mense profits realized in those of a similar
character in other States, gives reasonable as
surance of the most lucrative results.
In other States nearly all companies of a
similar character have based their operations
upon small tracts of land, in many instances
even as small an area as one acre has been
deemed sufficient, but " The Korth Carolina
Petroleum aud Mining Company" has aeenred
no less than fourteen thousand acres most of
which abound in bituminous coal of rich qual -ity,
acquired at no little expense, and selected
with great care and skill from tho choicest
mineral lands of the State.
Frequently it has been tlip case in loss fa
vorable oil localities that shares have advan
ced in a few days from $2 or $5 to 15, 2(), and
even 50, and persons of slight means who
made small investment.'?, realized fortunes.
Actual burintr has now -commenced, and a
considerable depth has already been reached.
So far, the prospects of success are fair, and
ecientitic men beem to entertain no doubt as to
the probability of linding oil. Kevertheless,
should the Company ultimately fail in getting
Oil, of which no fears are entert ained, tbev are
still safe in having secured valuable tract of
Coal, Copper and Salt lands.
