He says i "Give me a fair September and a late frost and, bo the weather ot, July and August what they may, I'll raise a good crop of cotton." In this connection we would give an address retfentlji Issued by a well-known Reidsyille fink of experi enced tobaooonists to the tobaooo grow ers of this State and of Virginia. It' is as follows : "Feeling an unusual in terest in your .welfare, now that tobaooo is low, and appreciating the fact that you can neither sffflrd I to Uet your, to bacco damage nor ewoke it by drying' it out with wood, we would advise those of you who are nofr'rjsdy to market your tobaooo to clean Out vour barns and sprinkle every week or ten days on the 1 floor about two gallons or lime.

The rale oi Lee's life was duty, and the appearanoe of disaster ahead could only have been t his mind a call to stand by his peo ple to the end and to suffer along with tnem. Now there comes from General Karly a letter corroborative of this view and certainly there can be no better au tjbority than he on any subject relating to Gen. Lee. This letter we print else wbere and it will not only be -found to repel the attack made on the memory of our great chieftain, but will recall the cbsition taken in Blackwood's Edin burg Mags tine by the greatest military authority in JCiUgland at the time of the war. between the States to tlje effect that the three great captains of the English speaking race, were Marlborough. Wei Ungion and Lee, a position which has never been .assailed by any equal au thority and which makes Lee the most illustrious qf the trio named, since, while Marlborough had no moral character and Wellington was a hard, stern man the leader of the Confederates was eombination in character of the bravery and ability of the soldier with the gen tjcnes8Aand purity of the Christian. Tui report of the special agent of the tenth census on the defectrve, dependent and delinquent classes, just made, shows that the total number of prisoners oon fined in jails, workhouses and? peniten tiaries in the United States inV1880 was 5&.609, of which 63,604 were iaales and 5,005 females; 45,802 natives and 12, W8 foreigners; 41,801 whites, aid 16,748 oolored. : This is not a bad showing for the females. The number of prisoners to each one million of popu lations given as 1,069. In 1870 it was 853. The number of insane per sons was 91,959, or 1,834 for each one milJion of population. In 1870 the to 1 was 37,432 or 971 for. each million The number of homeless children of six teen years and under in 1880 was 57, 423, or which 30,171 were males and .2X252 females. The number of idiots receiving special training was 8Q9. This olass increased from 24,527 in 1870 to'76,895 in 1880. In the former year te ratio was 036 to each one million of population, and in the latter year it was 1533. Why the rapid increase of i -atip in these three eases 1 The total number of blind in the United States in 1880 was 48,928, or 97 G in each 1,000,000 of population. The number of blind re ceiving instruction was 4,694. The number of deaf mutes reported to have received special instruction in the various institutions for the deaf and (fy.rab was 12,154.

Perhaps your readers inay be glad to have information about the North Carolina health reports which may tend to benefit some who have nH yet de cided their summer locality.; Lately much more (and deserved) attention has been attracted to the mountains of North Carolina, as the future residence of thousands of invalids, 'accompanied by their friends and relations, to secure permanent restoration. Jtist as in Eu rope, ot. Morits and Davos are among the celebrated sanitariums,1 where con sumption is cured, not.merely alleviated, by the skilful treatment of the; eminent Dr. Jacoond and his associates,: the mountain air and the high altitude 6,050 feet and 5,250 feet, being a great factor in .the wonderful effects upon the lungs so there are places in North Carolina, which can easily be made into residenees which will vie with these European resorts as the means of restoring happiness to myriads of families, that may find death hovering above some member thereof in the climate and habitation, which they have heretofore called their home. 'Under the new discoveries of great European physicians, backed by their observation au 1 fxperience in the radical cure of thousands of consumptives in . the past 'twenty years, it is the conviction of th. ee great men that all lung diseases are just as susceptible of oure as any other illness, provided the prescribed treatment is perseveringly and continu ously followed, with a continuous resi dence all the year round? in a rarified atmosphere at a properly selected spot at the altitudes above designated, in past centuries, and even 'up to our de cade, consumption has been considered generally to be incurable, just as ninety two out of every hundred attacks of small-pox were fatal only a hundred years ago. The only object sought for in consumptive cases bas been to allevi ate the suffering of the invalid and to prolong life in a warm climate, an error which has consigned myriads to a pre mature grave. Medical science today is scarcely wiser, in regard to the 'cause of yellow fever or cholera, thau were the Galens 500 years ago. Nor; has there been any significant progress in the knowledge of their cure, each disease running its deadly course, with eccen tricities of permitted recovery, which the skill of the physician could not claim to have effected. Consumption, classed -with these dread scourges, may now be considered as under medical control; and the enlightened iourhalists of this country should seek to spread this vital information to all classes, in the cause of humanity, to give hope, to thousands, who today simply await the call of the gxeat creator, as the relief from sunering and sorrow. ! In examining statistics it may be safe ly asserted that of the adults who are daily carried to the tomb J two-fifths die from lung and throat diseases, the pre cursors or companions of .tuberculosis In a large city of the west, only a few days since, the writer was struck with the fatality of the daily record, - One day six adult deaths, four of whom had consumption. Another record (the next one) stated eight adult deaths, of whom five had consumption. These facts are terrible in significance ; and those who oan ' disseminate correct information among the masses and aid In preventing the hecatomb of annual victims to this chief of destroying agencies will; be true philanthropists. It would be a moderate calculation to state the yearly mortality ; of the world to be 30,000,000, exclusive of wars and violent deaths, and that less than 10,- 000,000. of people are all the time in one of the stages of consumption. What an army of doomed souls dragging slowly on to eternity without hope or comfort from human sources, according to the past belief and treatment; Uf these the great mass,; who are poor, and unable, from that and various other circumstances, to secure the bene fits within the reach of the richer classes must continue to furnish hosts of vic tims; though many may be rescued from impending doom by a knowledge of what to do. Permit me, for the benefit of the poor, to suggest the line of treat ment, which they should pursue", as laid down by Dr. Jacoond for all such as have not the means to reach the life- giving elements of the high mountain altitude, and especially thoso who can not leave the cities and towns or low lands: 1. To reside in a room above the ground floor, as high up as possible. 2. To live in the open air, frequent the city parks for hours, if country air is not attainable. 'V 3. To walk, without incurring fatigue, all that is possible. I 4. To get up early to enjoy the fiesher air, and not to sleep mure than seven or eight hours. 5. To use a shower bath from twenty seconds to a minute on rising, rubbing with dry and violent friction immedi ately. If the weather is good, and there is no chilly sensation thereafter, the invalid can continue this baih If shown to be injurious, a sponge bath should be substituted. i 6. Copious use of milk from the cow, goat or ass is a requisite. If possible to drink it fresh and warm from the ani mal; two glasses full after the hath, and the same in the afternoon.. 7. The medical treatment is, at break fast (or after), to take noteless than two or three tablespoonsful of cod liver oil, with one-half or one-tlird of pure whisky, brandy or rum, and a similar quantity at supper. If the ood liver oil nauseates, substitute one' j and one-half teaspoonsful of glycerine, twice a day with the spirits. Iron pills and iron mineral water are prescribed for each meal. Discontinue for a time the iron after two months use. Smaller quanti ties of ood liver oil produce no effect. 8. The diet is to be .of underdone beef and mutton fatty and farinaceous food to be avoided. Oysters and eggs are always good. 9. Two points are the objective ends To allay the fever and destroy it; and to attain proper nutrition by pro motion and creation of the normal ap etffe As long a ths Uitt fontuae, there can be" h& improvement. During the mal-nutrition the patient cotinues to decline. Dr. Jacoond considers it use- ess to give small doses of medicine to conquer fever. In eertain eases he uses subcutaneous injections of hydrate of quinine twenty-one grains injected four hours before the intensity ot fever. n' the hectic fever (which he has dis covered to be septic poisoning from the absorption of part of the tuberculous matter not ejected by expectoration), he uoes in simitar manner saiyeuio acta. The septic poisoning is easily dotccted by the shivering and chilliness, which accompanies the fever, me late dis covery of anti-pyrene is chiefly used by the American physicians in all cases of fever; but Dr. Jaccond .nas practiced with signal results otherwise. 10. The clothing must be such as to keep the invalid free from chill or cold; and in any sudden changes warmer wrappings oan be used. In our climate the invalid ought not (in summer) to walk out earlier than 8 a. m., or bo out ater than 6 p. m. In winter the hours would be curtailed. 11. Where the invalid's means per ni it the new process (serotherapeutic) of oxygen inhalation, with the atmospheric pressure taken away largely from the chest, should be daily , used. This is the artificial method of procuring what nature gives by rarefaction of air and low pressure in high altitudes. 1 he richer classes have a hopeful fu ture before them for the safety of their families. At the least computation there are 50,000 persons in the United Statra who would gladly pay 5,000 to E0,000 each for the asBurt d cure of any near relative whose life was jeopardised by consumption, innate, threatened or acquired. Now what should such per sons do? Subscribe a fund of $500,000 or more (incorporated) and have the proper point selected, where a hotel could be located with all the details for hygiene, comfort, health and accessi bility, proper food, dry, pure air and no dust, and correct altitude. And under proper management, with a com petent physician to be in attendance, a homo could be made sfor those who must reside in such a climate.; As a philan thropio measure there could not possi bly be a grander scheme. In financial result it would pay hotter than any in TostUieiH of the day. The demand would be so great that yearly additions would have to be made, and dther es tablishments would be erected. Here in western North Carolina there are fifty-seven mountains of appropriate al titude with hundreds of sites suitable for thus work. There is not at present one hotel which could be used contin uously during the winter with the best and highest results. A hotel on the top of a mountain is subject to the pouring sun in summer and to the winds all the seasons, and the snows in winter. There are houses at lower altitudes which give great benefit from June to Deoember, among which is the Mount Mitchell house, Black Mountain,; on the railroad, at 2,500 feet altitude. There must be intermediate stations, where the invalids should remain fifteen days or more, be fore venturing into the higher altitudes 4,000 to 6,000, which otherwise from the sudden transition would be danger ous. Ihis locality will be very useful, as great benefit bas been derived by nu merouB invalids, both consumptive and nervous. The temperature approaches to uniformity, the range being at great est 69 to 82; aad in . the upper alti tudes no doubt Dr. Jacoond's standard would be reached, which he pronounces for summer to be 9 oscillation pre ferably between 70 and 80. The food and cooking here is excel lent just wiiat an invalid requires; plain but of good quality ; with excel lent milk, butter, coffee ; and bread a. .a equal to any ; tenderloin steaks and succulent fowls : fresh vegetables. The house is under new management, Mr. Morgan, who acts for the lessee, also proprietor of the Haywood Springs, i gay and fashionable resort 2,900 fee altitude. 1 he trout fiflhm'g affords amusement to those who have good legs. One fisher caught 86 yesterday. On horse back one can ride . four to seven miles to the best points, and then fish down the mountain stream several miles, and thence ride home There are a number of agreeable people here, who derived benefit last summer and have returned. Quite a number of others . will be here at the height of the season, early in August. The prioe is exceeding low per month $30 to $40 according to rooms. Very respectfully, B lan ton Duncan.
