He baa taken pains, to make, the description at sati9!aetory ami as tnll as the newspaper spare would allow, with a riew of imparting in form at ion to others, a well as the party referred to, whose thoughts msy be turned hitberward with a view to eeUle- msnL Thf. article Is reliable, ex- cept that there may be some acci dental mistakes of detail. The general statement xaads will apply to other counties in this sec tutu of the State as well aa Guilford. . guilfoud coTJrcr. Guilford county is situated in the north centrsl part of North Caro lina; measures 21 miles from north to south and 26 miles from east to west, containing Gil square miles. The surface is beautifully undulat ing, and well watered by the upper brancbea of Deep and liaw rivers. The bead springs of both these tirers are in the north-wee tern part of the county. Over the whole central pottion of the county, from the northern to the southern border, aad covering perhaps two thirds of the territory, the oil is a light sandy loam, interspersed in many places with more or less of clay soil; and in large aeetiona on the rouib-eatrern and aentb-wes-rern borders the clay predominates. The sandy loam produces well for the first two or three years after clearing; -but then requires light manuring ami judicious cultivation to keep it up. The clay lands last longer and prod ace better under hard usage, and ana consequently considered ibe more valuable. Bat manure and wbe faiethought are rt quired here, as well as elsewhere, to keep the laudslo good condition. The alluvial strips along the num erous little streams are naturally prcJuctive and lasting. In tbo old slavery dsys much of the finest farming lsnd wan worn oa; by careless and slovenly culti vation. Fiesh fields were 'clear ed'9 crt ry winter, and the worn lands "turned out;'' be no the thousands of acres of olJ fields" now growing over with broom sedge and young pines, and some of them washed in agly gullies. Bat it bis been observed tbst where the Und was originally good nature is srradaally. kindly, surely reator- ing, coder the genial infioenoe of the glowing pines, the fertility so tecklesaly exhausted. Take it all together, ws know of no territory of the same extent. In the piedmontane portion of Vir ginia and the Carolina, where the soil is more sssily cultivated, or yields more satisfactory .retarna lor the' labor bestowed; aud it only lacks the element of lime to make it equal to the bdl uplands In the aecuon saaed Laixo bodies of orlintl foretts are iotersperMdi orer toe coaatj. wbire as fine oak and Lickory iTTowi as can be foand any where. Valuable pine forests once rrew in some sections: bat the best trees hsTe Wn csed op for boildloj par Dooes. ' k ! i The mnsl rrsin crops are raised here; though not in quantities eau a! in tha nrrvinrt fnnA of tha sllu vtsl lands of the . West, or of the highly cultivated farms of the North, yet in amount incident to be remunerating to the labor be stowed. We cannot state the aver age quantity per acre of the several kinds of rrain : cultivated.! i The forthcoming census returns for 1SS0 will rife satisfactory Information in this respect.. One fact should be borne in mind, as - a wise sppoint ment of Providence, that If we can not raise so jrreat quantities of grain as some other sections, oor Istitude and climate admita the successful production ot a variety of the neo essaries and comforts of life such as no other latitude enjoys. Tobacco is raised here in highest perfection, ithin easy rsacn oi iour or nvo cash markets. Cotton can be I suo cessfully cultivated, and Is growing in favor with the farmers as a pro fitable crop. Fruit is a specialty, and Guilford has same of the larg est nurseries lame oouiu. xne crape etows nowhere better out- aida of Italv or California, but has hitherto received almost no atten tion. Sufficient trial of the white mulberry has been made to sho that silk making would ue a pro ductive industry, peculiarly suited to our ceocraDhical situation.; Mea dows, set with native grasses, tire reaaeotly set apart on tne use ra a rm vines along spring Drancnes, rtquir ing no care exespt regular mowing to ret cood crops ot nsy : ana tne rnltivated rrasses grow well on acme uplands. ; i Gold and copper mines were, some years ' ago, extensively wrought in the western part of the county ; and enterprise in this di nction ii again reviving. j I he water power is valuable ; ton or the larger stresms never failing except in excessively jdry seasons. There are thirty l grist mills in the county, so situated as to be convenient to every neighbor hood. Oa Deep river there is a cotton factory producing 1300 lbs. daily, of hosiery and coverlet yarns aud pliad warps. A few miles be low a woollen mill. And iu the south-eastern corner of the county a, cotton factory in course of erec tion, i i The assessed value of the land, for taxation, in 1830, exclusive of town lots, wat- $1,837,0S3,-Guil-ford standing fifth in this respect among the counties cf the State. it nrcnniea about the same com paratire stand ia population, average assessed: value per for taxation, is $L53. The The acre, 'real average market value, at vol untary aale, majr be put down at about 16 per acre. While there are some aeetiona of the county where lands would command 915 or f20, in other parts not more than t- to f 5 could be obtained. i The whole amount of taxation last year, - for State, county Jaud school purposes, was CO ceuta on each 9100 valuation of real land personal propeity, and tl.80 on each poll. j j I The total population of the coun ty, ascertained by the late census, was 23,433, of which number some thing over one fourth was colored. The white population of Guilford is chiefly made up of the descend ants of emigrants coming j from three principal sources in tht1 old colonial days, to-wit: Scotcb-Jtish Presbyterians from Pennsylvania, Germans, (Lutherans and Reform ed,) from the Fatherland, aud Qua kers from Nantucket. There was, besides, a sprinkle of "all sorts, " such as the restless pioneer; days afforded. These elements have all combined, interrnarried, mixed op, fused into a social fabric which, for natural intelligence and steadiness of character, prudence and econo my, with a strong spice of shrewd ness, will comparo with sny com munity on tho continent. Bur, as it has been in other counties of the State, so it has been here; the hods of the immiffrants soon began to be emvp-antt, and large numbers In t he flower ot youth and manhooJ: have w . i ill k. annually "gono cst." au; iuc consolation we have for their loss is the knowledge that they are as leaveu to aoriety. wherever! tbey go, worthy ot the fathers left be hind them. Notwithstanding! the continual loss by emigration, the census shows a steady and healthy increase In population. ! ! As to the religions element, the Methodist Church was planted among the others at an early day ; and iu all the "faith of the fathers" still has healthy indoenco upon the sons, ! j Iu polities, before the wsr; the population was Whig by a) very large majority.; Now, a consider able majority cf : the whites ! are conservative, acting with the Dem ocratic party. Taking the whole body of the voting population, in cluding the blacks, there i per haps at prasent vary little diflvr enee in numbers between the two political parties. It is but proper to say, however, that politics are permitted to inter lere very j little with social intercourse. j j It is alao proper to remark: that friendly relatione exist between the white and colored people.! The political rights of the negros noder the constitution, and their equality before the law, are duly respected. They enjoy their equal share of the GBEENSBOItO, N. C, WEDNESDAY, MARCH school money ; their paupers aid insane are taken care of at the com mon expense; they rote freely at the polls without apprehension of interference from the whites. The Northern immigrant would per haps be surprised at the kindly mannsr of intercourse between the two races. We do not undertake to speak for toe wnoie oontn: - 1 sDeak fo r our own locality, and we speak the truth - Soon after the war several per sons from the Northern; States and from Canada came tb Guilford, bought thin land at high prices, and undertook to introduce Canada methods in Carolina. Their enter prise was mainly a failure. Seed ing three or four bushels of oats to the sere, and planting five or six grains of corn to the bill, would not do on any sort of land here. Yet in some things they succeeded and set oor farmers a good examj.le. Some of them became disgusted and went back, and some are here still, among our best citizens. This is a pleasant country to Five in. Our people are somewhat lack ing in "push but they are warm hearted and will welcome pushing men from abroad to share the land with them. If we could havo the a . ear oi. any wno are ininKing oi emigrating, we would say, come down and eee the country for your selves, talk with the people, advise with some man or men of prudence and Integrity, (we have each here,) A A . not omy aoouc purcnasing tanu, but about methods to be pursued oa the farm. This might save you from being the victims of sharp practice in the one caseJ and from failure in the other. ' We are not conscious of having indulged any extravagant idea or statement in this article but have written the words of truth and soberness. , ; ' GREENsnono, The county seat of Guilford, named iu honor of the patriot General thanael Greene, is situated in the centre of the county. The town was laid off and established in the year 1803, when the seat of Justice was removed irom aiarunsvuie, uve miles northwest, where the V Battle of Guilford Court nouse was fought in 178L By the way, very little is left to mark the site of old Martinsville. It is remarkable that the region of Greensboro and the old comt boose has been a strategic point " of momentous import in two wars. It was the centre of a series of com plicated railitsry maneuvers, for weeks, between Greene and Uorn wallts io 1781. culminating in a battle'Whicb, in its results, turned the tide of war in favor of the pa triots. And eighty-four yearsaiter, in 18G5, the Confederate 1 army ou- der General Johnson, pursued from the east by Uen. Sherman, ana cat off on the west by federal troops, surrendered at Greensboro, virtu- 11 w ending the terrible war be tween the States. The population of Greensboro and its suburbs numbers some thing Qver three thousand, about one-l bird colored. The town ha never suff.Tcd from those fits" of prosperity and advendty! tj which larger emporiums .of trade ere sometimes subject; it has bad a steady and apparently healthy in crease of Kpulation and business ever since the war. The North Carolina railroad runs throagh the town, and is intersected here by the Piedmont, which is a continue tion of the Richmond and Danville railroad, and by the Salem railroad. The Cape Fear and l ad kin vaiiey railioad, from Fayetteville to Mount Airy and the upper valley of the Yadkin, tapping aloo the valley of the Dan, is now in course of construction, crossing; the North Carolina Road at this point. Thus, we bavejilready and soon will have, six railroad track h concentrating in Greensboro: one east; 'one south east ; one; south west ; jone west; one north-west, and oue riorth-eaxt, furnishing direct communication with all desirable points ef trade, and making Greensboro the chiet railroad centre of the State. A city charter was granted by the Legislature in 1870, ur.dor which the municipal government, consisting ot a mayor aud k;x commissioners, exercise.' tbo usual fanctiohs of a city corporation. The streets! are of, good width; symmetrically laid -oft; moat ot tLem handsomely shaded by t'ru trees; and j those most, used ar i-Ubatantially paved. Tne side walks are clean and Handy, drjinq ell quickly after rain. A market house has been established forsome years and Is well supplied. The county court boose, situated at the centre,- is animposlog edifice, i" the Roman-Corinthan style, with iron cornice and toa er ;! largo conrt loom and jury rooms above, and spacious county oftices ou the ground floor. Here the Federal courts are held twice a vear, for the western dis trict ot N. C. The District Judjie, Hon. Robert P. Diek, is a native and resident. The cilices of the District Attorney, aad bf he TJ. S. Msrshal, are also kept lin Greens boro. I On a commanding eminence ai the western border of the town stands Greensboro Female College, established by the N. O. Con ference, of the M.E. Church South. Th hnildinff is of brick, very spacious, occupied by a large num- Lit ion m ber of students, under ;the care ofldred. It Rev. Dr. Jones, President, ana an able faculty of teachers. Bennet Seminary, a brick build ing 40 by SQ ieet, four stories high, finely situated near the South east A . cm ooraer, is devoted to the edu cation of the colored youth of both sexfs, under, the superintendence ox nev. Air. Thayer, of Boston. There are five churches for white!, namely, Methodist, Preabyteiian, xpicupai, baptist and Kcmau Catholic.
