WESTERN NOIITH CAROLINA. The A&hcville Citizen of January 4ih. is exclusively devoted to articles de scriptive of AVestern North Carolina, culled from many sources, among which we would mention one by Prof. Guyot, of Princeton College, N. Jereey, detailing his measurement of the mountains and other observations in that region. Anoih- er hv TT P finriivrT ' u 1 ' UA,U1UL a general de scription of physical structure, soil and productions, climate, adaptability frr vari ous industries, sheep raising, &c. Also ex tracts from the report of Richard Owen, M. D., Professor of Natural Science, In diana University. Extract of a letter by Gcik Ciingman, in 1S55, to Prof. Joseph Henry, &c, ccc. The editor of tho Citizen struck extra copier, of this very interesting sheet, and offers them for sale at $1 per dozen. The design of the thing ij to bring before the public the rare attractions of that most charming region of country and invite emigrants to it. And just here we would suggest to our readers that if any of them desire to se cure homes in the mountains, they had better look after it early, for we think the time is not far eff when it will be more difficult to find places thau at present. 1 cw Got'. Gratz liioim's message to -the Legislature of Mo , is to hand, and from the rather hasty inspection given it, we are of opinion that the Governor is worthy of his great State a vigorous, go a head officer, who likes to see things done speedily and well.

It having been alleged by some of the Radical journals of the State, that the Charlotte Democrat had expressed complimentary words in behalf ot Judge Logan, the editor has deemed the matter of sufficient importance to give an expla nation by which it appears that his com pliments did not toucb the qucstiou of competency.

THE CTJSU01WI0USK JNVESTIQATION ti -.. iV 11 YESTEKDA Y. In calling atteution to the eridence giv en before the Senate Committee of Inves tigation yesterdaj, we ask that the testi monj op- Mr. Lindsay may be read with care and weighed with candor. It is al together the most damaging of any disclosures that have yet bitn made of the corruption of General Grant's admin istration, and what i more, it connects General Grant himself with this corrupt ion as its promoter and abettor. Mr. Lindsay' testimony is more than curious; it ia astounding. - Before proceeding to comment on any part of the testimony taken yesterday, we must call attention to the spirit in which the administration menbers of the commit tee, are trying to conduct the investigation The venerable Mr. Buckingham, the Chairman of the Committee, is a mere respectable fignre head. The active ad ministration member is Senator Howe, who is acting to great perfection, w ith no great dignity, the part of counsel for the defence in n criminal trial. Ho exhibits an unseemly zeal (unseemly considering' tnat tie is a member oi a comin.ttee of' investigation, and a lawyer employed to defend a criminal cliant) to cross examine and discredit the witnesses against the government. Theie was a very scan this kind Yester daloos exhibition of day. It was observed in ihe examination of Mr. Lindsay (a most important witness) that Senator Howe, tho administration attorueyi as constantly prompted bv a youivs man sitting near hi elbow &me inembrrs of the committee did not know if I . n ilila ' il IHi f miii i.r .

Wherever anything of interest is likely to hp.ppeui be sends his reporters ; but he has usually more important sour ces of iuformatiou respecting the seerei springs-and hidden currents of events. His profession brings him into intercourse with almost everybody; and if he be a man of character and national reputation, i l w . ' like Mr. Greeley, to whom men can lalk in confidence without fear of b trayal, In has opportunities to be among the best informed men in the community, both as regards the open and more especially the secret hiitoiy of current transaction Ut I her efore think that if Mr. Lindsay had not followed Mr. Greeley, and .testified from his own personal knowledge, Mr. Greeley's evidence, though mostly second hand, would be of great importance Rut even the most authentic hearsay pales be fore the light of immediate evidence. Mr. Lindsay testified, yesterday, to what he knows. He was Collector Gi Hi ndi's intimate aud trusted adviser, to whom ihe Collector talked in ihe frankest way. Mr. Lindsay acquired his know ledge of the Custom house by close con tact with its"T)U6iue88, and confidential relations with its thief officr. Now what ." - . . does .Mr. Lindsay swear to respecting the ! lu,u room, and thre, for the purpio of pay scandalous general order business on j ing Tor some purchases, disp'ajed his jM.cket which he ivas examined yesterday 1 book and contents to the crowd, and ou leav He tesufies that before Mr. Crinnell's ,,, , here for the nurm ,,f ..;... i rtOtionillM,...! hef.ir..

Grinnell's power to bestow. When Mr. Grinnell got the appoint ment, and asked Leet what he wanted, he found that it was nothing less than the whole general order business. There wen; so many applicants that he could not pive L ret the whole, but he did give him " the biggest plum in the pudding." Leet was a PennsylvaViian ; he had never lived in New York ; had never done business in Aew lork ; had no business connections of any kind in New York ; but came here as au adventurer, with a recommendation from the President, asking Mr. Grinnell ' 10 F0016 nl lcr- At first, Leet made an arrangement with Dixbv. a man ' nireaay iu me wareuouse business, w hich i a J .

Who, besides Leet, and his partner Stocking, have shared in tbe profits of i gigantic swindle of the New York merchant. The testimony carries it hom to fcuEAdquarten in Washington. There it no longer any room . ko doubt that General Porter, the President' pri vate secretary, shired In these dishonest, extortionate gains,, and probably the President bimsetf. The President'! own letters, in his own handwriting, convicts him; of complicity with thefraxid." Mr. Lindsay's testimony yesterday, explains, what has scerond so mysterioos. Senator Schurz's stated in his speech that these general order extortions were supported and coutinued by a power superior to the Secretary of the Treasury. It ias long been known that Mr. Bouiwell disap proves of this gigantic s tviudle; . but there is a higher power behind him which up holds the swindle in spile of Mr. Bout well's wishes. The following . passage fnm Mr. Schurz's speech is what extorted this investigation : "It was intimated by some of the wit nesses that Mr. Leet, who pockets the enormous profits arising from that busi ness, had some connection with the White Hooar; lot General Potter was examined, Mr. Leet himself was examined, and they both testified that it was not so, and counting the number of the witnesses we have no right to form a differm con clusion. But the fact remains ithat this scandalous system of robbery is tusUined " is susuutira against the voice qf the merchants of Xete York is sustained ugaintthe judgment and the voice of the Secretary of the Treasury JiitnseTf.
