A submerged village or city has been discovered in Lake Geneyn, and they prq poo to enclose it in a sort of wall, and pumping out the water expose it to view, jit is supposed to daif ' bey ond the present era. The county of Pender has just passed through a very tot contest on the ques tion as to where ji Court-Houso should Lbe located.

"God is a slow paymaster but he pays, Three townships in South Iredell voting pn the fence law rejected it. But it is said the question will again be voted on. There is little doubt of the final adoption of the fence law in this State. It involves important changes and must therefore work, its way slowly. The people will adopt it when convinced of t vajufi and practicability. Sd R. R. Accident. A deplorable ac cident occurred the Statesville and Chai lotte road, near Alexandriana, yesterday, Mrs. Deaton and her daughter were walk ing on the track and the old lady could not, or did not get off in time after the signal, and the train could not be stopped. She was caught, and had both legs and her head broken; but was alive when the rain left the scene. The newly appointed Magistrates were duly qualified on Thursday last, the old ones going oat on the same day. We have T. G. Haughton, G. A, Bingham, D. A. Davis and Audrew jftjrphy for the town. The bulk of the tyusfneW is likely to fall pn Mr. Haughton and Mr. Murphy, tjieir positions and cirenmstances suggesting phe probability, Mr, Murphy has had some experience as a Magistrate, and his con duct in that capacity won public confidence jn him. The "Clement Attachment'' is a term applied to a new process for manufactur ing cotton yarn, now in practical use at Memphis, Tenn. It takes the cotton in the seed and brings it out spun yarn, thus dispensing wti all the cost whicb'by the usual operations, go before that of spining. There is a great faying in machinery and costly handling. The new machjnery js yery simple aiid $10,000 will pay fop a set run by -water, with a working capaci ty of 450 bale's of lint per annum. Few hands are required to manage it, and not very skillful hands at that. Charlotte OJwerrer: Dr. II. C.

The sudden Qnt tyurst .of Jinjtnan passion and rage is a thing against whicfc n,9 city, county or Sfate can Drovide comnlete protection and there are more grievous wrongs than loss of property, falling citizens against which there is aoprrfection and for which there is no in&ejpiaty, Tlie duty of the State to protect pegoa and property mast be subject to some rajfonal rule ; and the hardship pf individual losses by an event whichranscends.al reasonable calcula tion should not, it ,would seem, abate the rule. There is no indemnity for a confla gration by naateriai fire, and this sudden outburst of human passion bears so close a semblance to that or p a flood of angry .waters, that protection against it were alike impossible. If the jconnty or State can be held to make good losses they .could not prevent, it must be upon the be nevolent principle that it is better to dis tribute iiuenj among all the citizens than to it them fall on ajew. The recent rail road strike will be seiz ed on by the administration and those in favor of a strong national government and urged as a plea for a large standing army. It will fail to change the views and feel ings of southern people and statesmen on this subject. The South has a keener perception of the dangers of a large stand ing army than the North can have; besides the southern States are more firm ly established in the doctrine of States rights, and more confident in their ability to preserve order without the aid of fed eral bayonets, than the Northern. With good, true, and brave patjve sons of the South at the helm of our State govern ments we jbail rarely if ever have occas: ion to Jnvpke the aid of the Federal gov ernment to preserve or restore order. We would have had no trouble wjth he negroes after the close of the -war had it not come by the niichjef niaking of Northern men for political purposes. Northern men under the protection of Federal bayonets wandered up and down throughout thp outh sowing discord and hatred betwn the races for years, and only failed u reproducing the scenes of San Diruingo; because the people pf the South white and black, were mercifully preserved from deeds of violence by Al mjghty God. There is no war between the races in the South. They are each necessary to the other. The black man peeds the white niau, and the white needs fhe black. It is not probable (if left alone) that we shall ever need a large standing army to keep the peace. Ths races know how to be just towards eAPj other, and the magnanimity of the stronger will nev er condescend tQ oppress the weaker until we shall have lost eyery sentiment of honor and honesty, The South wants no stand ing army to interfere with the rights of the State, and to run rouglj shod over her people, violating all principles of pjvil liberty and personal rights. CrGQksd Whiskey After McKcs Again. St. Louis, August 6. A civil suitfor damages has been filed in the United States Circuit Court by the government against Wm. McKee. The action embra ces sixtoen hundred and fifty-three counts, for fourteen hundred dollars each, aggre gating two millions three hundred and fourteen thousand two hundred dollars. These counts are all alike in form, except that the name of a different distiller is in serted in each, charging him with an un lawful removal qf distilled spirits, and alsp charging defendant with aiding and abetting in the removal of said spirits, which act rendered him liable to the above penalty of fourteen hundred dollars.

Until President Hayes rids the Western District of North Carolina of Mr. Doug lass, we shall believe him but little iu earnest in his professions of a purpose to reform the civil service In this State. The people of North Carolina have a right to demand the appointment of ''honest and capable" men to office. Granting that Mr. Douglass is honest, we yet maintain that he is incompetent for the Marsbalship because of his lack of brains, nerve and moral force. The administration shows neither patriotism nor common sense in keeping in office an incompetent -official, because he happens to be the son of a great man. .Raleigh K'etcs. .'

Who were the stockholders was and still is a secret from the public. Soon af ter it was organized the company filed with the Secretary of State a sworn state ment of their assets, showing over $150, 000 of first-class securities, among them $50,000 of U. S. Bonds, $30,000 of N. C. R. R. first mortgage bonds, and so on. Iu March the company suddenly quit busi ness. The liabilities, amounting to $15, 000 or $20,000, were presented for pay ment. It wag then discovered that there were no assets. Suits were brought, and pn judgments obtained proceedings have been instituted. From the Raleigh News. THE YOSEMITE VALLEY. A Lecture by Prof, J. L, Tomlinson. Those who listened wjth sp much pleas ure to Prof. Toniljijson's lecture on Cali fornia, gathered promptly on Monday night to hear, if possible, a n)re enter taining lecture on the beauties of the Yosemite Valley, Before taking up the subject proper the Lecturer gave ioter esting 'facts about the climatology of Cali fornia. With an average climate, cold enough to stimulate to industry, warm enough to in vite to refining leisure, but not so hot as to enervate the energies of either mind or body, with rain enough to warrant an abundant harvest, but not enough to pro ducenhundant vegetation, South Califor nia is unequalled iu climatic superiority, and possesses all the elements and stiniu lan't? of a high physical ami intellectual culture. The climate is that of ltalv without the unpleasant peculiarities of the Italian climate. Considering the whole State the climate in any month in the year runs through the whole gamut. One hand plays with the hoary mountains and the other with the tropics. Nor is it an exaggeration to say that the pine and the fir whose roots are planted iu eyorvlastiug snow, look down on the orange, the jite and the feathery palm. But in Southern California the winter is rather the more delightful season, ns it is the time of beauty, verdure and life. Christmas and New Year are nature's gala days. Then she dons her kindliest garb, the hills are clothed in a velvet green, fjelds and gardens are variously huedr rills break forth in dells, mountain streams leap dome through cannons. The sunshine is never brighter, the sky never bluer, the air never softer. You bathe in the surf in midwinter, go pick-nicking in December, gather flowers in January. The Floral Kingdom is iu all her glory. The bordering pepper trees fling out their spicy odors. The lemon and the date, the olive and almond, the banana and orange fill the air with odor. Roses and geraniums, heliotropes and mignionette, callas and fuchsias, the tule roses and vjolets, are in full bloom. The smilax and jessamine clamber over the very house tops and rock their leaves In the shadow of the useless chimneys, The Marshal Neil rose reaches eight juches across, jnorqjng glories 6ix inches in diameter, cajla lilies ten inches, and one morqing in February, in a private garden I actually counted 395 such callas, eautiful, pure and perfect. The geran ium will grow higher than a full-grown person can reach, and citrina still higher. By the 6ide of a two-story house I saw a fuschia growing, which had run up the lattice of the piazza, reached up over the window r of the second story. an( had spread out over the whole front of the building, all laden with hundreds of most elegant, white centred fnschjas. As t Vegetables, the beets beat all, as you will judge when I say that I stood beside one which reached as high as my shoulders ; a real vegetable beet it was, and weighed only 175 pounds. THE PURSUITS OF CALIFORXIANS. The three great legitimate pursuits in California are mining, (which is not al ways legitimate,) agriculture, including fruit culture, stock raising, including wool-growing. Manufacture are yet in infancy, though very well begun. The methods of mining, though many, are principally three: placer raining, hydraulic minjng and quartz miuing. Here he gave minutely a description of the mining process. lie gave interesting facts about the agricultural products and the stock rais ing as it is carried on in California. IIU word painting, when speaking of the beauties of the Yoseinite Vallev. was YPry vivid; hasn talent and command pf lapguage not surpassed by any man of hjs age in the State.

No pilgrims jo Mahommed's tomb at Mecca, or to the. Juggernaut of Hindoos tan ever manifested more interest iu the snperstitious objects of their veneration than do the intelligent and devout wor shippers of the wonderful in nature in their pilgrimage to the great Valley. iYosemite,J' which is Indian for "Great Grizzly Bear," is situated high up in the Sierras, about 160 miles directly east from. San Francisco, and about 50 miles south east from the Calaveras grove of Big Trees just referred to. ' r. . - ....... It were needless to essay a description of that scene. . All epithets are - useless, and all vocabularies bankrupt, for it was too strangely wonderful and too wonder fully strange. But it did seem to me as I gazed, that here was Nature's last, most cunning hiding place for her utmost Sub limities and rarest splendors: It was but a little strip "of land to- look down upon after all nothing but earth and water, and and tree and air, .and -sky but the stupe.ndo'ishess of the surroundings ! There were arched aud pillared rocks sc massive, so immense, soeternal, it seem ed' they might hai'afimedthe foundation walls of a continents d tomes, so vast they seemed like youpg worlds rounding out of chaos. Therein Nature, had work ed her divinist miracles with water and sunlight lake, river, cataract, cascade, spray, and mist and rainbows by the thous ands". The picture was divine and im pressive, with closed eyes methinks I can see it as I saw in that glorious hour. In all my life let it lead me where it may I think I shall see nothing else under heav en so grand, so awful, so sublimely beau tiful as that tirst vision of the valley. However enchanting this spot of earth may be, we must not linger here too long. Loth to leaverwe turn and tol lowing our guide, commence the steep descent into the valley around -and down and down and around the zig zag trail, we cautious ly and patiently wend our rough, steep way. The riders groan, the horses gruijt, the ladies are frightened, the gentlemen are uneasy, the guide laughs until, at last, the bottom ia reached, where hard by are the rippling waters ot the Merced river which being interpreted is called the Riv er of Mercy. Wearied and worn. we make our way up the valley along the river for a couple of miles to the hotel. On our way thither we ford countless streams of pure cold water that leap over the valley walls and flow down into the Merced. Wt pass through gardens of blooming Azealeas and beautiful wild roses and sweet scented violets and pon derous ferns, through great parks of oak and cedar. Far above us the firmament seems to glow like a saphire: around us iu all its rare and undetinablp magnificence, closed in by vast perpendicular walls of granite on whose brows 'thousand of feet above the rest, giant domes and mighty obelisks, columns, and great gothie spires which seem to tqp some grand old cathedal, musical with the echoes of falling waters, murmurous with the high moauing sweep of the nine or the low lauirhinj! swell of the firs and fragrant with the perfume of tin flowers extend this enchanted land of the New World, the Valley of the Yose mite. The Merced River, whose waters are let loose by the sua from the regions of snow turtoer back ana higher up in rre Sierras is about 100 feet broad and 5 feet deep. It comes rushing down through gorges and over huge boulders and makes its first great plung over a perpendicular precipice of 700 feet, and forms the Nevada Falls. By the time it has reached the bottom it has spread out to a width of 200 feet and forms a beautiful sheet of gilvery whiteness. After leaving these falls the rivr, in its wild fury, goes bound ing on from rock to rock, from casecade to casecade, and leaps over another lofty clift of 400 fieef, scattering its diamond spray -drops hither and thither with great beauty and brilliancy itm! forming a wa ter fail which is appropriately called l'i-wy-ack, for interpreted from the Indian it means "The cataract of diamonds." On our immediate. right, as we journey down, looms up that michtj ridge called "Clouds Itest," always hooded in a misty whiteness. It rissa up to the dizzy height of 7,000 feet, or nearly H miles above the level of the valley. To look down into that awful abyss was almost more than human nerve can bear. The large trees 2)Q feet high, seemed dwarfed into utter insignificance. The Merced looks like a thread of silver run ning through the woof of dark green foliage. The hotels. are indistinguishable toy-blocks, the waterfalls in the distance like white ribands fluttering in the breeze. I shall never forget the splendor of tlje sight that greeted ijieat the foot of "Bridal Veil." Tlie rising spray, in gracefully undulating and gauzy sheets, wrapped me about in ethereal folds. Encircling the falls were the two large and brilliant rain bows, and arching nn- head and extending down to either foot was' a' beautiful little bow, into whose bright colors I could ex tend ray hands, aud which altered as long as I remained in the mistasoftcn as I steped. Tho silvery spray, now expanding, now contracting with the" fickle breeze, now Jittering in the sunlight like u veil of dia monds, now changed into one vast and m tl ny -colored cloud, -which, threw its misty drapery over the falling torrent as if in very modesty to veil its unspeakable beau ty from our too eager admiration. In concluding this wonderful descrip tion of the gardeu spot of the world Pro fessor Tomlinson said : Xever did the glory of God's creation stand out as beau titul as then and there. Dumb in praise, silent in admiration, I gazed in won derment and awe amounting almost to adoration, and as the sun went down, silently and reverently turned and re luctantly 6tole away from-enchantment of Bridal Veil, from the Valley of the Yose mite, from tho Garden of the World.

I Khali use six tons this Spring. I consider the formula invaluable to farmers. Yours respectfully, W.F. PFNNINGTGX. Gastoxia, N. C. 1876. Metsrt. Wilson & Black Gentlemen: It gives me much pleasure to state that I used the com post bought of you last winter, and must say that I am highly pleased with it. I used it on an old broom sedge field that would produce nothing, and must say the result is astonishing. I consider it an invaluable compost, and just the thing to bring out our old worn out lands. Yours, verv respect fu Mr, Dr. J. F. 8MYER. Mecki.enbu g, Co., N. C, 1876. I take pleasure in stating to my brother far mers all over i he country that I nsed, last year, Harris' Empire Compost, under both corn and cotton and the result was astonishing to all my neighbors. The cost was only one-fourth of what I had been paying for commercial fertilizers. LENS HOOK. Mecklenbcrg, Co.. N. C. 1876. This is to cestify that I used Harris Empire Compost last year side by side with severnl commercial fertilizer' and I find that the yield from Harris' Compost was one fourth greater and the quality better than any. It makes the cotton mature better, and in my judgment, it is preferable in every respect. The cost was one iburth the cost of the high priced guanos, and one ton will go over ten acres of land. Yours truly, P. C. ROBINSON. CSS" Chemicals for making Harris' Empire Couipol. for sale onlv, by JOHN H. ENNJSS, 41:tf. Drntr?ii. Sali-hurv, N. C. Davidson County PROBATE COURT P. S.
