Mu. Editor WATCititAX ; I am-aorry
to think that any citizen iu Salisbury, or
its immediate vicinity would be ou the
"lookout"-.for Uendish deeds and vile
treatmeut" from auy colored citizen in
Rowan! county, as the Salisbury Aeic
would have them be. We hate always
since the war been treated well, generally,
by the whites, aad have endeavored to
show our appreciation of their treatment,
by being jteaceable and attending to our
own business. We are innocent of plot

The Reunion Movement.
Mb, Editok : If Mr. Frank Brown, before
writing his article on the Reunion, had ia.
keu the trouble to in lor ni himself in regard
to the design of those who started the
movement, lie would nave seen , that his
fears of the terrible etfects of a Confederate
gathering were entirely groundless, inas
much as there was no intention of having
a Confederate reunion, but a grand reunion
of the soldiers in North Carolina, ioth Con
federate and Federal, anil in looking into
the details of the plan so far proposed, he
would have seen that nothing had 'been
done, or was intended, 'which could give
ground for sect ionaT outcries from abroad
or political opposition at; home, fin reply
to tbe absurd idea that it was started in the
interest of local politicians, it is only neces
sary to say that the, parties who were fore
most in inaugurating it have never sought
nor desired any public office, and havo no
political aspirations whatever. ,
In answer to Mr. Brown's question as to
whether it would be wise and prudent to
have such a gathering in Salisbury, I give it
as my candid opinion tbatit wilL A grand
gathering to which both Confederate and
Federal soldiers are invited will do much to
show, the Northern people the utter ground
lessness of the stories which have been man
ufactured for political purposes,and convince
them that tlie ensanguined article of under
wear is about worn out. The moat con
servative and clear-headed gentlemen iu
town were' consulted belore any ! decided
steps were taken, and after full discussion
as to its effects, A:c, they 'gave it their sanc
tion and promised it their support.
So far as the writer is informed, the only
effect Mr. B's article has produced is a feel
ing of- regret tbat a gentleman '-with his
itplendid record as a soldier, should be the
only ehe to manifest! Opposition to the

Mud Cut."
RocKixonAM, N. p.,
Aug. 6th, 1879.
occasional! v seen
Mr. Epitor : I have
some reference to this obstruction on the
Western LNorth-Carolina Railiad, in the
State papers, and on a recent visit to the
mountains I heard much said about it, and
had an opportunity of j seeing it. ; If not
considered presumptuous in me, I will sug
gest a plan for the removal of this "lion in
the path," which I think feasible, econom
ical and durable. The mountains near the
sot alxmnd in choice white oak and chest
nut timber strong and durable material.
I would therefore suggest the building
over the Railroad track: a tunnel of, twelve
inch square timbers, framed together much
Hke the j bents of the ordinsry railroad
trestle the bottom piece or mud till to be
notched or iaeueil out four or six inches

With the bents made in this -way,sthe
mud sill is placed across the track at right

the bank of the cut on the opposite side of

How a Young Man in Georgia 'Spent $500
for Waste Popery-Chief Brook's
U amning.
New York Sun.-
, One of the otfieluls of New York has re
ceived from a respectable citizen of Cedar
Grove, Georgia, a letter showing tlie op
erations of a gang of "boodle" men who
infest Gotham. This letter has been for
warded to secret service headquartem in
a t . m a . t . ftt
tins city, i tie writer says : i net is aa
set of conterfeitera in your. elty. They
are doing considerable damage, I pre
sume, all over Xh) country. -There is one
young man living in this neighborhotxl,
about ten' miles southwest of Chattanooga,
who has been actually swindled or bled
to the amount of $500. They succeeded
by their letters and promises to lead him
to New York twice. : The last time they
agreed to let hiiu have a large amount of;
their. money for a small amount of genu
ine greenbacks. They put up their mon
ey in his presence in a small box directed
to him at Chattanooga by express, keep
ing the receipt for the box. Vlien he got
home to Chattanooga he received the
box. Opening it he found that it con
tained nothing but strips of paper iu stead
ofthe$r,000 they put iu it in his pres
ence. There is another niau who lives in
this neighborhood who has been skinned
out of a good sum of money. The young
man first mentioued received several let
ters from: them. They wrote to him.
giving the numbers and streets of i the
houses in which they did business. The
leading man in this business was by the
name of William Nelson, 45 Spring, 67
East Houstou, 64 Stanton, 355 Eldredge,
1-61 S Broadway, 8th street and 3d avenue,
and 102 Nassau street. Up stairs in a
small room they kept their money and
machinery for nuikiug it." The young
mau was-in the room and saw a large
amount of the counterfeit money
tip
said it looked Very much like genuine
greenbacks, and they told him it could
not be detected.
UOW THE "BOODLE" MEX FISH FOR FOOLS."
Tbe writer sends copies of two of the
letters sent to the swindled youth by
Nelsou. Oue reads : 4iTry and come here
at once to git your goous. l wane to cir-
culate them at once : we are loosing time
us well as vourselt. l siiouia nave oeen
away long ago. I have all your goods
safe and sound. It is tin) dangerous for
me to URe the express. I will allow you
a clean $1,000 for expenses, and please
don't accuse me of doing anything wrong
until I have done so, as I am an honest
man to trade with. Why should I fool
you t I want a good agent in your parts.
You act as true to me as I will to you,
and everything will be all right, as true
as heaven. Do not fail to come at once,
prepared to invest enough to buy $10,000.
You w ill have no trouble in passing
them." - - 1 ;
Another letter says : "Come on at once,
without delay. It is impossible for us to
send by-express as we are closely watch
ed, but you peed not have the least fear ;
So eoinent oiiee, aud carry your goods
home with you."'
Another :. "I sent you a box the other
daybut it went astray., Your name was
put on tlie wrong box, ttud it caused a
sad mistake. Will explain it all when
you come on, You.can do a big business
for me in youy. country.' .
Several other letters advise the young
man to borrow, all he can lefore he comes
to NewfYork; as the "goods" that he will
recifeivedturnlviirgo off- like hot cakes,
and the money borrowed ' can be paid
back iu forty-reight hours .after le once
gels to work. "Sell yolir horses, if you
have any, and go into the business ou a
large scale, and iu inie year you can take
niv word vou will never have to work
again." The young man, went to New
York and was skinned, j

The Fjrtef a Herd af Buffaloes.
An arraonicerT.who.recently.arrived
in Chicjg 'from the Yellow Stone Valley,
tells a story of what happened to a herd
of buffaloes n they were migrating south

and had been driven ont of the Milk Riv

reuclied tlie river they-ventured upon the
ice with their customary-contideneej com

ning the crossing ivith' closed ranks1 Tlje
stream at -this point was very deep. When
the front til r, which wis stretched out a
quarter of h mile in length, had nearly
gained thex)piMsite shoVe, the ice sudlerr
ly gave way under tjiem. Soiue trappers
who were.eye-witnesses of .the scene stid
it seemei! as if a trehch iiad beeu opened
in the ice tlie size f the column, j Sojue
four ur'ttvej liniidrecniuiials tunibled iuro
the opening all iu a heap. Other fell iu

was breaking under the still ndvjihciug
herd. The) trapei-8 way that iu less than
a miunte the whole ImmIv of buffaloes had

were wedged in so thickly they could do
nothing biit struggle for a second., ami
then disappear! beneath the cakes of ice
and the swift cur e:it. Not a beast iu all

j Standard Silver Dollars. Returns
received at the Treasury Department
show that thi-re has been a marked in
crease iu thei demand for standard silver
dollars since! Secretary Sherman issued
his order to disbursing agents not to dis
criminate against standard dollars in ma
king payments. The Secretary's order
was issued-Jane 17th ; ld&t. From May
1st to that date $433yO was disposed of.
Since, the deinaud has risen to $707,670.
Quite a marked i increase, and showing,
as tlie Secretary thiuks, that his order
was a wise one.
United Statea TreftSUrer Gilfillan will
on the next pay day try the experiment
of paying ten; ier cent, of the salaries to
all of the employees of the government in
the District in standard silver. The
monthly payi-roll of the government here
in the District is about a million.

(Growth or the Hcmak Heart,
Professor Beiieke, of Marburg, Germany,
after measuring U70 human hearts, says
that ihe gToWth of that organ is the great
est in the first and second years of life.
At tlje end of the second year it is doubled
in afae. Then its growth is much slower,
though from the fifteenth to the twenti
eth year its Bize increases by two-thirds.
A very slight growth is theu observed up
to fifty, when it gradually diminishes.
Except iu childhood, men's hearts are
decidedly larger, tlian those of woman.

al of business houses is not the least of
the gloomy forebodings for the future of
