FROM HCUmiN TO SEASHORE. nCld "Rebel" Visits, in these Piping Times of Peace, the Scenes of his Warfare around New Berne, Beaufort and C Clam frit ters, Pony Penning, Surf Bathing, WoODLAWX, Aug 21. To the Editor of TJie Lenoir Topic: t We left home on the 7th of Aug. 18S5, for Ies.rd station, on the W. N. C. R. 11. We left thereat 9 p. m. and arrived in Salisbury at 1 a. m., where we met quite a crowd for .Morehead City, and all seemed to be lively. So we started for Greens boro at half-past six and arrived there in due time for the Raleigh and, Goldsboro train.rf When we ar rived at Goldsboro we-saw a car load of watermelons, containing 1800 which had just arrived from Caro line City, and we could have choice at five cents each, and you ought to have seen us take some of them in. But we had but little time and the train was ready for New Berne and Morehead City. When we left Goldsboro we were all busy eating fine melons. Goldsboro w as the first place I saw where I had been in camp in 18(5:$. And from there to Kinston the dirt road looked familiar, as I had car-, ried my gun and knapsack and wad ed through snow, mud and water. They have changed the name of old Alosely Hall and it does not look like the same place. Kinston is im proving, although some of the old houses are still standing, that was there during the war. We arrived at New Berne at dark, and at Morehead City at 11 a. m., where some were inquiring for one place and some another. Quite a number wanted board, at private houses. We stopped at"' Mr. J. R. Franklin's and shared the hospital ity of him and his kind family at $1.25 per day. We tad plenty of all kinds, of fish, and clam firtters. As I am not particular about my eating, 1 eat hearty of the firtters for supper. I thought they were Irish potato firtters. The next morning several of us walked out to the boat landing where they were getting out clams for breakfast, so we said we could not eat them. One of our f)arty said she thought so too ; or it ooked very much like it at the sup per table, the way we eat them, although we did not know what we were eating. So I said if they were clam firtters, hull out some more of them. ' The next place in view was the pony-pen which was about 18 miles from Morehead City. So 14 of us . got in a sail boat and off we were sailing as there was a good breeze. Our captain just sat on the stern of the boat and used the lever, and could guide the boat with it, and had another man to work the centre board, and would say, 'raise the l)oard, Geo. ; draw in the sails ; be careful or . you'll jam ; draw in the sails j dive down the board ; tack ; raise the board, Geo.; tack; let out "the rope ; tack." And so on for miles until we got near the landing, and as there was no regular landing, and the tide was getting low, we could not quite land the boat. And some one said how" would the ladies get to land. Some suggested carry them out. There was one lady on our boat that weighed 200 pounds, or over. And so it fell to a little man about 150 to the 200 and he did so, but it was about as much as he could do. And then there was a hearty laugh, as there was 150 or more people looking at the unload ing of the ladies. The ladies went out on the beach to gather shells while the men were penning the wild ponies. They got about 125 in the pen. Saw a large drove down the beach but they got away from us. Several of them were sold that day, they brough from $20 to $50 a head. They looked something like the -Texas pony, - and they live on sea grass all the year. It is said to be some time before they eat corn like our, horses do. : , On our way back we stopped in Beaufort, visited the graveyard, saw some , very fine monuments. And our next trip was for the light house, but did not get there as there was no breeze; then we went to Shackle fort banks, gathered a lot of shells. There are about 300 inhabitants. ' One church and one school house, which is not garrisoned at this time. Then for the Pavilion which is on Bogue's i island,! and saw a number of ladies and gentlemen go in bath-, ing, in the Atlantic. Then back to our boarding house. r ' Mr. J. V. Blackwell and lady are stopping at J. R. Franklin's, who once merchandised in Morganton, for, a .number of, years. . He was well ; acquainted with some of pur parents. Wednesday morning, the 12th1 we started for home. Stopped in Ral eigh visited the capitol. 'Business seemed to be lively. Plenty of ice water s on pur "trip there o and back and everything - else that was nice. We had a pleasant trip. There were only three from Caldwell. We saw some fine corn, , cotton and to bacco. We saw some pulling fodder between Newberne and Morehead City. Cal. I ThWtil-vaiuationilof relit JiW personal property in Mitchell is $539,435. . Letter from Capt. U. V. fitoare. j . . . Kelton, Utah, Aug; 13, '85. But what I want to write you about particularly this evening, is to give you an account of the rab bits in this country. I don't sup pose you ever saw crows! or black birds on the Yadkin as thick as the jack rabbits are in this country. I am well satisfied that I -have seen ten thousand of them since yester day noon. I went out yesterday evening, after I had finished my work, and in less than twenty min utes I had killed 12, not J going 200 vards from the house. I would have jkilled more, but I had oiily 13 shot kuu cartridges, and with these , 1 killed the 12. I went back to the house and got a pistol and with it I killed 2 more at one sho. At an other shot, 27 8teps away, with the pistol, I killed another making in all 15 rabbits yesterday evening in less than one hour's time This evening after my arrival here, I got a shot gun and 50 (cartridges, and went out into the sage brush, and before getting a mile out of town, I had got forty-si x rabbits. I missed five times in the 50 shoots 3 times in consequence eft bad car tridges, and twice the rabbits were too far away but at one shoot 1 1 killed two, thus making Jthe 4G rab bits at 50 shoots. They were all the large black tail jack j-abbit the large kind ycu saw in Ttlxas. 1 send you some ears an?d tails, that you may see the kind. Iam satisfied 1 saw a thousand of them this eve and more yesterday eve in sight of the house I staid at, ahdiin the trip of 35 miles you could see them all along the road side in the brush, (sage bushes.) These rabbits are a great annoy ance to the people who attempt to raise anything in this country. The gentleman where I staid I last night had a fine patch of oats. They ate about 3 acres for him in two nights, as he told me. He tried to raise some stock oats for his cows. These oats were eaten up root and branch. I saw a large field of wheat this eve a great part of which I was eaten up by the rabbits. The depredation of these animals has been so great that the ranch men, or farmers, here offer 5 cents for scalps. fThe legis lature of Idaho authorizes the pay ment of 1 cent each. One man in Cassia county has killed i,500 in a few weeks. Two parties here went out a few evenings ago and in less than 2 hours killed 15G. j Mr. Kirk, where I staid last night, told mu he , had a few even.ngs ago also killed ' 75 out of 80 shots. Some other equallv remarkable hunts have been told me. The reason these rabbits are now so plenty is this?: There is a species of wolf here called Cayote, (ky-ho-ta) which has heretofore kept the rabbitts thinned outJ Hut two or three years ago, when sheep rais ing became profitable here, the sheep men, began to poison, the Cayotes, and the local government offered re wards for Cayote scalps and the consequence was that the Cayotes nearly all were exterminated, and the rabbits then began to multiply. Now the Cayote is spared and the premium comes on the rabbit scalp, unless something is done to exter minate them, there will be no use to try to raise any crop near them. They have become so thick and tame, that they come right 'into town in open daylight. As I re turned this evening," could have kill ed 20 in 200 yards of the depot if I had had any more cartridges. I have seen only 1 Cayote on the round, but he was too far away for a shot. There was a large gang came round the house where I staid (last night and barked for a long time. They are not killed now as formerly as they aid the ranchmen in efforts to extermimate the rabbits! I forgot to say to you, in the proper place, that Mr. Kirk feed? his j hogs that are in the pen on rabbits regularly. Rabbits and cattle are abont the on ly thing you see in the J trip from ,here to Bridge. This is a great cat tle country. I don't think I ever saw finer cattle in my life than I have in Idaho and Utah around Salt Lake city in particular. I think I have written home about the fine stock I saw in the Morman tithing yard in Salt Lake. One gentleman has a cow there that gives seven gallons of 1 milk daily. ; : The evening before I saw her she gave nineteen quarts 'and one-a alf pints at one milking. She weighs 1140 pounds and is certainly the fiinest cow I ever looked at a deep red short horn Durham. The Durham, Devon and Herreford are the most popular breeds j out here. You see but few Jerseys.

' LETTER FROM TEXAS. ; s The Topic an Institution-Good Crops-Ths Uagnificent Hew State Capitol A Wonderful Granite Quarry. Austix, July 29. '85. To the Editor of The Lenoir Topic: Enclosed find one dollar inpay ment of 1 year's subscription to The Topic. Although nearly three years away from Caldwell county 1 still find myself unable to get along with out your interesting paper, every issue of which equals one hundred letters from as many friends. North Carolinians, like angels, are few and far bet ween in Texas. The people of the '"old country" seem to regard it as a good State not to emi grate from. There is hardly a sec tion of its sister States that is not well represented in every precinct here. Texas will make the best cr this season, of the last five years. 'Wheat i yielding from 25 to 40 bushels per acre, onts 50 bushels and corn will run from 30 to 40 bushels. The cotcon crop is in splendid condition and promises, without some unex pected backset, from one-half bale to a bale per acre. The ; State has just changed the material of the new capitol from limestone to granite, paying an ad ditional half mil lion for the change. The capitol when completed will be one of the iwost magnificent build ings in the world. Its length will be 590 feet , and its height 311 feet, standing seventh in the list of the highest buildings in the world. The foundations and basements are al ready completed and the entire building is to be finished by January. 1, 1890. Its construclion is in the hands of a syndicate of Chicago cap italists, who are to receive a solid tract of three million acres of land in the Panhandle, the undeveloped portion of Northwest Texas. . The cost of the building is estimated at three and a quarter million dollars. The granite of which it is to be con structed is situated in Burnet coun ty, about sixty miles from Austin. I visited the qurrries the other day with a party of excursionists, and was awed, overwneimeu, actually paralyzed at their magnitude. The granite extends in a vein, clearly marked for forty miles, here and there rising in cold gray mountains, from one to two hundred feet high. The quarry which is in use is a com ical shaped mountain, 150 feet high and covering one hundred acres. Its depths have-' never been sounded and for aught any one knows it may reach down to dark Plutonian shore. There is enough granite in this one quart-y alone to p ve the streets of earth, build iall its palaces aud arch the universe. Near it, on the Colorado river, Mar'oU; Falls, rival Niagara in beauty, if not in splen dor. . The temperature here in Austin, has ranged this month from 92 to 104. Usually a good breeze prevails, without which the weather would be simply unendurable. H. C. D. To Destroy Sorral or Sour Grass. v- j . r All of the advantages of summer fallowing upon sandy, or light grav elly soil, may be secured not only without loss of elements of fertility, but with essential gain in this re spect. It is now September. The field may be plowed and sowed to rye without manure, or with two hundred pounds of super-phosphate to the acre. This will soon start and make a fine growth, and in six weeks or two months, according to the season, may be plowed under, thoroughly harrowed, and sowed again to rye. This will make a fair growth before winter, and start rampantly in the spring About the middle of April, when it stands a foot high (not higher), turn it under harrow well and sow oats. When the oats are a foot high, they must be turned under whether the ground be moist or dry. One should not wait for rain to make plowing easy. The ground may now be well har rowed every third day, three or four times, and sowed with buckwheat, which should be turned under when it comes into full blossom, and the harrowing repeated. A sufficient quantity of humus will have been incorporated with the soil, to- make it possible to plow and harrow after this, once in three weeks, until the last of October, when rye may be sown with timothy or orchard grass, seeding with clover in the i spring. A top-dressing of one hundred bu shels of gas-house lime, made very fine and spread evenly upon the snow in the early winter, would be a decided advantage After this treatment, the land may.' remain' in grass without trouble from the sor . rel, but it U should be tdp-d ressed after mowing the first season,' and . occasionally thereafter, with fine compost. ' The severe drought is said to pre vail in the bright tobacco region of t Virginia and North Carolina,' east of the mountains, except in a few lo calities where rain has fallen. It is stated that very little rain has fallen since May in that portion of the -jcountry south of the Dan river. It is feared that unless rain comes soon the tobacco crop j will prove a fail ure over a consiaeraDie area oi mid dle Virginia. ! THE REVENUE SYSTEM. 8tateville Landmark. ! We are not of those who entertain any apprehension that because the offices ih the internal revenue service are 'all soon to be filled by Demo crats, the Democrats of North Car olina as a class, or their Representa tives in Congress in particular, will abate any of their efforts to uproot thej whole abominable thing. It is wrong of itself and hateful under any sort of administration, and it is not to be popularized with Demo crats by placiug its machinery in Democratic hands. Our leading men know this and they will not be found apologizing for it because it has so fallen out that Democrats now hold the offices. Our Senators and Representatives will not be forgetful of their past attitude in this matter nor! discredit themselves by anything thai looks like a change of front on it. i In other words, the Democrats of North Carolina will continue true to themselves and to the people who have trusted them, and renew their efforts as opportunity presents, to destroy the whole system, root and branch. While it continues and is in bur hands, we must take it as we find it. Our officials are under bonds to execute these laivs as they stand, aud they must do it. There is no need to do this rigorously. There must be no more drunken, swaggering revenue fficers galloping over the necks of tlie people, mag nifying their offices and arousing in the people a spirit of defiance born of persecution aid ill-usage. There must simply be a firm, discreet, con scientious enforcement of the laws, and when it comes to be understood that there is to be this sort of ad ministration of them, there will be among the people more respect for the laws and the officers than has ever heretofore been known, and half the trouble that would other wise result will be averted. But while the character of . the service will be elevated, and many of the abuses heretofore known cor rected, the internal revenue system is, in its nature, a hateful system, and can never be regarded with tol eration. What the people of North Carolina and the Democratic party, now more than ever want, is to see it abolished. To accomplish this,-, oor;Senators and Representatives, as; we have said, will leave no stone un turned. As to the prospect of sue-! cess!, the Landmark will be candid now as it has ever been. It has never once told the people that if the Democratic party got in' power it would repeal these laws and abolish this-system. In fact, then, compar atively a small propoi tion , of the country is interested in thismatter as wie are who see its very! worst side. In rhany of the States nq liquor r or tobacco is manufactured, These States regard the ! internal revenue taxes as just and necessary ;. ihey do not burden them and their people, regard the system as a cheap and ef fective method of turning into the treasury millions of money from ar ticles which ought to suffer taxation. In other-States which have ' large distilling interests, they are so con solidated as to touch but few of the people. There nre, for instance, several distilleries" in Peoria, 111., and Cincinnati, O., any one of which turns out, more whiskey in a week than all North Carolina makes in a year. It takes no more officers to supervise one of these distilleries than one which makes four gallons a day, and the distillers have so ad justed their business to the tax that they do not want it taken off. The case is very different : in localities where the stills are multiplied, where all are small and where the distilling interest is in the hands of poor men who niust have the wholesale dealer to tax-nay his goods before he can move them. Unfortunately for our cause, this class of distillers and , distilleries is confined almost exclu sively to the mountain districts of Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tenness.e, and Georgia. This but a small spot on the map of the United States, and as we said a year ago, it is doubt ful when the Representatives of these districts will be able to com mand sufficient influence in Con gress to carry their desires into exe cution. They will do, beyonddoubti next winter, all that men can do in this direction, but if they cannot succeed they cannot and reasonable men will not punish them for not doing that which is impossible. But if , they should pass through the Democratic House, by the aid of protectionists, who have an interest in repealing the internal taxes, a measure which had this for its ob ject, their bill would go to a Repub lican Senate to be slaughtered, ; for ; whatever the House might do ; the I Senate, it is certain, will not consent 'to the abolishment of the internal ; revenue system while it is a Repub lican body, as it is now and is likely to remain through Mr. Cleveland's (administration. There is none too much encouragement in the present "situation, for those of us who regard this as the greatest' desideratum in' our politics. Material modification in this system may be and doubtless will be soon effected, ? and a cleaner service is all eady assured. These are worth- struggling for, for they, are much j and while we are striving for these, those of . us who are pledged to the people beyond. this, will not: lose an opportunity to put in a stroke for total abolition.

H. ; Hitrata olMSoda fir Wheat In reDlv to manv inauiries. we would say that the application of nitrate oi son a to winter wneat, is almost invariably ben'eficial, but not always profitable. Thej profit . de pends on tb.4 price we get for the wheat. Wheat must jhave nitrogen. It gets it from the orgat.ic matter of the soil, or vegetable matter plowed under, or from manure. If we plow under a crop of clover, or, sod, or stalk-man ure, the nitrogen of the organic matter is converted into ni tric acid, and ( the growing wheat plants find what thfy need. "For this change, moisture hi necessary. On a field from which a crop of oats, or barley, or other grain, has just been removed, the soil is compara tively dry, and this change proceeds very slowly, or not at all. If we sow' wheat on a summer fallow, we get the desired nitrates. Now it is highly probable that jw here we sow wheat after some other . crop, arid drill in phosphates, we Bhould find it profitable to drill in, immediately under the seed, a small quantity, say seventy-five pounds of nitrate of soda per acre, in order to give the plants a start and keep them grow ing until we get rain; and the soil is moist enough to allow the decompo sition, and nitrification ! of the or ganic matter in the 8oiL ; A large quantity probably will not, pay ; . a small dose probably, will. The seventy-five pounds or nitrate might be mixed with two hundred pounds of phosphate, and the whole drilled in, together with the seed. , The nitrate should not be mixed for any, great length of time with the phosphates, before sowing, or some of the nitro gen may be lost.
