This scIjoo! requires strict economy, es pecially in dress. ' With these advantages, we are not surprised that this popular in stitution enjoys a national reputation and draws its pupils from all sections of the Union. , See advertisement. The attention of the Commissioners is called to the condition of Rank street, be tweeii Fulton and Ellis. Copal, the most disagrcable of all trees, are rapidly taking possession of. the side-walks growing from the fences. Iu wet weather, a lady can hardly pass without soiling her dress, 'l'hese sprouts should becleared away, not ouly tliere but in every other portion of the city where they may be found. ,It is held that besides being offensive to the nasal organs, they are injurious to health. The streets are in good condition ; the trees : all white-washed, aud the only thing no3v to be done is to clear the town, -arid especially the neighborhood indica ted, of toe offensive copals. There was a high time at Mocksville, last Saturday. The people of Davie have railroad on the brain, aud will of course eventually work it out. Thrre was a grand barbecue rally at Mocksxille, Satur day, iu the interest of the Midland project. About 2000 people assembled tliere and were addressed bv Dr. J. G. Rnuisav, of Rowan, M. Clement. Esq.," and Rev. W. O. Wilson, of Mocksville. The votewas taken on an appropriation of $5,000 by the town, and carried. An election is to be held -ini the 10th instant on a county subscription of $50,000, which it is thought will also pass. 1 " o Our ; former townsman, Mr James II. Enniss, after attending the editorial con veutioo at Asheville, last week, dropped off here and spent several days with; his numerous old friends aud acquaintances. He is looking a trifle older than when he left us for llaleigh .10 or 12 year ago, but remarkably well for all that. - He,, is now publishing one of the best agricultural papers in the South, as many of our citi zens know -who patronize both it and his X. C. Almanac, jvhich latter, in his hands has become a success. He has not abated one jot of his ancient euergy, nor has a residence iu the State capital spoilt him. -o In a conversation with Gen. Johnston Jones, ho informed us that it was his iu tention to take thirty-one Xorth Carolina companies to the King's Mouutain cele bration in October. All the South Caro lina troops will be present. The Gate City Guards, and several Northern Rejgi ments, among them the 7th New York, will be there. He spoke of our "Rifles" and also of the Rowan Artillery. He is very desirous that both these organiza tion go with him. We hope those in au thority will see to this matter, and hasten the thorough organization and equipmeut of these companies. o The ratification meeting, Friday evening 4vas a decided, though not a great success. We had no orators from abroad, and some of the best of our own, were- unavoidably absent. But the old saw of "where their is a will there is a way," was verified on this 111. occasion, and men werecaneuoui wnowere pot used to stand upon the stage or a goods Imix in the open street, surrounded by hun dreds of unturned faces. Our young towns' men, Xee,Overmiin, J. W. Mauney and Frank Brown, made good speeches "thebestthey had in the shop" on so sudden a call ; for really no one had perpared any thoughts for public presentation. But the crowd was in too good a humor to care for style or the mere ' fancies of speech. They came to gether to! ratifv the nominations of Hak- cock, ExGJ.lsii and Jarvis, and this they did with bondfires, music and cheers-- cheers which made t he walls of the surround ing buildings ring with echoes. Well to sum up: -Rowan has had her ratification meeting. She has recorded her determination to bear a full part in tbe eon tist now just opening, and every man steps to the music with a firmness of tread which means business, and a gleam of the eyelvhich says stand from under. - .

The traveller who leaves Salisbury on the Western X'orth Carolina Rail Road, alter passing over Grant's Creek, and Second L'reek, will begin to see, on his right, H woodecTrangc of hills, or small mountains, looming up near by. It is only a few hund red feet in height, yet high enough to be seen for twenty or thirty miles around. Here the Indian's watchtire, or signal tire beaconj, would have flashed its light to different I mountain-peaks to Dunn's Mountain, to the rilot, and to king s Mountain, sixty miles away to the southward. .This emineiue rs called Youttg's Mountain, and is named aftet Samuel Young, the subject of this sketch. ! Somewhere about 1750, an Irishnmn came over the waters, and joined in the stream of emigration that was flowing through West-! ern Carolina. With a skill that marked him out as a man of foresight, lie selected, enter-; pel, or purchased a body of land containing not less than 4000 ai res, the rirhest in Row an County. It lay up and down Third Creek from the Church to Xeely's old mill, a dis- tancc f three or four miles, including the mountain mentioned before. He chose for his residence a spot about two hundred yards frou Third Creek, on land now be-; longing to Mrs. John Graham, not far from the site of the Church. The first grant of his is dated March 25th, 1752, and is for 340 acres, from Earl Granville. This was before the County of Rowan was formed, and the land is described as lying on "Third Creek, County of Anson." In 1756, Michael Dick son, weaver, sold to Samuel Young, planter, ,i acres on tne .North siueot 1 bird Creek. Mr. Young appears as one of the magis trates ot Rowan countv. at an eurlv dav. and. he wasX prominent actor in public af fairs for tnanv vears'. Sunnosincr him to iay,e been tventv-five or thirty vears old upon his arrival here, he would be a man of mature years, between fifty and sixty at the opening of the Revolutionary war. Ati:that time of trial our people needed the wisest counsellors, and the most prudent leaders. Among these Rowan countv select ed Samuel Young. When the patriotic and courageous John Harvey, as speaker of the Assembly, and Chairman of the iiermanent committee of Correspondence for North Car olina, issued his proclamation in 1774, call ing upon the people to elect members to a Provincial Congress, to be held in Xewbern, Rowan County chose Moses Winslow and Samuel loung, and the Borough ot Salis bury chose Wm. Kennon, Esj., as their Rep resentatives. This Congress was opened August 25th, 1774. The reader who wishes to know the opinions of that Congress upon the subject of human rights will rind a se ries ot resolutions adopted by them,on pages 734 7. nf Vl 1 Fourth Sprinu nf Pot-pr Force's American Archives. Theje resolu tion struck the keyvnotc of American liberty. thougu-they did not hint at Independence. W e have at hand, no means of deciding as to the authorship of those Resolutions, since the Congress very wisely and prudently kept their minutes anonymously. Rut as to the source of their inspiration there can be little doubt. On pages 3G0-1 of the Second Volume of Col. Wheeler's History, wc find a series of Resolutions bv the Committee of Safetv, ot Rowan, adopted Aug., 8th, 1774, just seventeen days before the Protineial Con gress met. Samuel oung ot Third Creek and William Kennon of Salisbury were mem bers both of the Rowan Committee and the Provincial Congress and went directly from the former to the latter. They doubtless carried a copy of the Rowan Resolutions to Newbern. A careful insoection of the two papers will show that the Paper of the Con gress is an amplification and modification of the Rowan Paper, employing the same general course ot thought, ami sometimes toning down the warmer and more inde pendent expressions of the Rowan Paper. The author of the Rowan Resolutions is not named, out tliere were on tne Committee a number of persons capable of composing it, such as VV jili am Iveuuon, the chairman; Samuel Young,1 John Brevard, Matthew Locke, and others. This paper, while it af firms loyalty to the House of Hanover, and is no premature Declaration of Independ ence, nevertheless boldly affirms the rights of freemen, the right to be free from all tax ation except such as is imposed by their representatives. r It proposes a general as sociation of the American Colonies to op pose all intringments of their rights and privileges; discourages trade with Great Britain, declares that homespun clothing ought to be considered a badge of distinc tion, respect and true patriotism. This is the first extended declaration of principles and ;urp ses I remember to 1 aveseen. There were meetings in other counties, where true patriots expressed their sympathy and offer ed help to the Boston patriots, but they usually contented themselves with, approv ing tho assembling of a Provincial and Con tinental Congress, without declaring their principles in detail. -After the adjournment of the Provincial Congress of 1774. Mr. Young was appointed by" the Rowan Committee to correspond with the said Congress, and to see that its Resolutions as well as those of the Conti nental Congress, were carried out. On the first of June-1775, Samuel Young appears as Chairman of the Rowan Commit tee of Safetyand was directed to draw qp a,n address to the several militia companies of tbe County, and was made military trea surer of the County. At the same time an address was prepared to be sfent to the Meck lenburg Committee. This address to Meck lenburg, expresses the desire that greater unity may be secured in supporticg the com mon cause, and "that we may have one Con stitution as contained in Magna Charta, the Charter of the Forest, the. Habeas Corrma Afct, and the Charter we brought oyer with us, handed down to posterity ; and that un der God, the present House of Hanover, in legal succession, may be' the defenders of it," That was y Wednesday, June 1st 1775 the week of Coiurt in Salisbury, when CaDt. Jack brought the Charlotte Declaration to Salisbury, handed it to Col. Kennon, who caused it to be read in open Court, accord- ing to Capt. Jack a certificate. In August 1775, Samuel Yong was again sent as a member of the Provincial Congress at Hillsboro, along with? Matthew Locke, Wm. Sharpe, Mows Winslow, Wm. Kennon. and James Smith. .This Congress appoint ed as field officers of the Rowan "Minute Men," Thomas Wade of Ansoa, Colonel: Adlai Osborne of Rowan, Lieut. Colonel. and Joseph Harben of Rowan. Major. In the year 1781 and 172 Samuel Young served as a member of the Leirislrture of North Carolina. After this period we have no record of his life and actions. He lived however, long enough to sec the cloud of war roll away, and the bright sun of peace and independence shine upon his adopted country, to sec the constitution of the Uni ted States adopted, and Geonre Washington inaugurated us the first President of the Republic. From his last Wiil and Testament, dated August 24th, 1793, and proved in Court Nov. y, 1793, we gather that he closed his earthly career, sometime bet ween these dates the fall of 1793. From this .deu mentit appears that he left seven children to inherit his estate, viz: i William, Jaaet, Samuel, James, Margaret, John nnd Joseph. William, the eldest, was married and had a son named Samuel, to whom his grandfath er left a small legacy by Wis will. Of this William Young there are many traditional stories told, especially with regard to his preser.ee of mind in danger, and his remark able activity. Upon a certain occasion as lie was aUut to cross Third Creek on a foot-log, at the head of Xeely's pond, he saw a panther in the act of springing upon him from the opposite bank. I: was the work of a moment to level his gun and pnll trigger, the shot met the panther as he sprang, and striking it in the head the tero cious lcast lell dead in the middle ot the stream. In 1731, while Lord Cornwallis was moving up the Yadkin, in pursuit of General Green, his encampment wasat a Mrs. Campbells, near RencherV Ford hisiineof tents extending from where Mr. Wm. Wat son now lives to the farm of Mr. Robert Johnston. Tradition says that Wm. Young, then a young man, moved with curiosity, ....... 2 - M. . t buuyeu uiiejpccieuiv into ijie untuiicaiup. ami suaueniy lound lumseit hemmed in and ordered to surrender. But instead of sur rendering, he trusted to his fleet ness, and actually leaped fiver threeflprered waggons in succession, and escaped, i Following the British as they were about to cross South Fork, at Bencher's Ford, he was unexpect edly approached by soaiecavalrymen. Start ing on, up the hill, at full speed, he soon distanced the troopers and again escaped. Anot iter story is that he won a wager from a British officer by beating tbe most active soldier that could be produced m feats of agility. '1 he second son, Samuel, received by his father's will a plantation near Cathev's Meeting house, (Thyatira), The oldesl daughter, Janet, was married to a man nam cd Webb, and their oldest child, Samuel Webb, received a small legacy from his granuumicr. .j nines portion was ailoted to him on Coddle Creek, near the Wilmington Road. Margaret married John Irviu, and three of her sons arc named C'hrlstbplier, josepn ami jonn, tne last slid living near Third Creek Church, at the (ripe age of 70 years. John had his portion of land on Shlrd Crick, and Joseph, the voungest, a cording to Scotch Irish customs" received the home place, as his patrimony. From these are descended many families, such as the Irvins. Foards, Kilpatricks, Matthews, Woods and others. Mr. Y'ounir evinced his Presbytenanism in his wil by provTdin ig a sum to purchase for eacli of his children Bible and a Westminister Confession of Faith. But his library Reems. to have been his special delight, composed, as it was of about one. hundred volumes of standard works. He left this library to be divided into lots and kept by his five sons the lots to be exchanged as thev might desire. But no book ot unv lot was to be loaned, hired, or otherwise disposed of under the penalty bf forfeiture of all claim to the library. And jii the event the sons should jointly agree to a loan, exchange or sale, then the whole library was' to be sold, and the proceeds paid over to the two daughters. Books of this library are still to be found in Third Creek. As it may be interesting to the curi ous to know what kind of books were found in an intelligent planter's -library o:;e hun dred years ago, I give tiff- list that accom panies the will: "Henry's Commentary4 Burnet on X.

To the Editor of the Watchman1 : in your isueof the 1st iust.v one of your correspondents. "M."of Unitv town snip, indiifctly holds me resposible for hoi iiamiiig tne vnew tock law" in snch' i manner as absolutely and certaiulv to compel its enforcement after the'lstdav of September. This I endeavored to do, iinu ii ue uui n.tu passed as l Urjated it, there would be no difficulty about the mat Uy. The proviso requiring a fence to oe uut along I4ie Stanly line was insert ed iii the bill against my wish, and in spitej of my opposition, at the instandenf the Senator from Stanly. No provision is niaue in the act tor building the tence by taxation at the expense of the county, id ealise such a clause would have beeu nV constitutional. .... The lence must be built by voluntary effort and private- subscriptions, and ought not to cost a large um. In my opinion, a little money is all that is re quired to insure the ciiiurceineirt of the law. j i , I do'not lielfeve that" the land-owners along' the line have said that the tence shall not be built on their : lands. And even if they should endea voro prevent the" building of t he fence in that wavy their opposition would be uuavailiug. , The ntau who object m to the fence being built on his land, can he fenced out, or around. Ami if it shall become necessary, the fence cau be built along the public road lead ing from Gold Hill to Stokes' Ferry, with out encroaching oh the 'lands of a single private individual. If it shall be thought advisable, the fence .may be built over the line, 'entirely within the limitsof Stan ly county. 1 feel confident that the peo ple and Commissioners of Stanly county will do everything in their power to' se cure the buildingof the fence, inasmuch as the law requires it to lie constructed for their 'protection. The fence may also le built pursuant to section 4, ot chapter B15 of the Public Laws of the year 1879. That sectiou is the law of tho hind in twenty-three coun ties, including Kowan, and reads as fol lows: "If tho owner of any land shall object to the building of any fence herein allow ed, his land, not exceeding twenty feet in width, slmll be condemned for the fence way as land is now condemned for rail road purposes by the Xorth Carolina Railroad Company : Provided, that no fence shall divide a tract of laud against tbe consent of the owner, but may follow the boiindary lines thereof: Prorided fur ther, tluit where a public highway divides a tract of land, the fence may follow the highway even against the consent of the owner of the laud so divided." . The County Commissioners will do ev crythin'g in their power necessary to put tho law in force,-except to provide the means for thy construction of the feuec. This they are not authorized to do for the reason before stated. If "M.," and others, who wish to sec the "act for the protection of crops" go into operation at the appointed time, will go to Work and raise money enough, to have the fence built, all' difficulteis 'will be at once removed. I redcll county built about one hundred. miles of, fence by the voluntary cll'ovt and, offerings of her citi zens. It seems to me, therefore, that the people of Kowan county are abundantly able to provide for the building of a pub lic fence seven milen long, if they are really anxious to have it. The fence will undoubtedly be built, and the Act will certaiulv go into operation on J the first day AY t?epteinlKT next, if in the meantime fie frwnns of tne ytw mil raise a sufficient amount of money. If the law shall fail to be put in force, it will be because the pcojile do not cafe cnoutjh almtl the matter to exert themselves to secure its benefits. Mv connectiojv,with the "Stock Lsw'Mias subject edjiiie to muc h unjust and unfair crit eism, misrepresentation and abuse. I,haye the consciousness of feeling and knowing, however that I did right. mic Violent and unreasoning opjionents of the stock law blame me i.oic, and say all sorts of. hard things about me ;but the time will come, and that very soon, wheii my course on this question will be universally commended. Every thing person in the county is bound to Inoip that the stock law will very soon prevail over the whole county, whether the new Ai t shall be in force or not. Opposi tion to the law, at this time, in Rowan conn ty is the merest folly and,cliildVplRy it is useless and unreasonable. The drift of pub lic opinion in its favor cannot be stopped. Every opponent of the law would beablc'to see this, if he will givethe rnattferja moment's thought and seeing it he should be willing to forego his own personal prc-ferences and consent to have the Act put in operation, with the view of giving it a fair trial. For my own part, I did what I conceived to be my. (duty what I thought to be right and what I considered to be for the bene fit and best interests of my constituents. I have no apology to make for my course. The stoe.k law is going to be very popular, and will soon make a great change for the Iwtter among our people. 'It in nt a rich man's law.1 The poor man, and the labor ing classes, will lie more benefitted by it, and will like it bctter thsn anylody eke. It is already in force in about half thecoun ty, and the more the people.sec of its work ing the better tl ey like it. Agitation sad strife over this question ought to cease at once The sooner the new Act shall go into operation, the better it will be for all concerned 41 is evitabh that the time is at hand, whu 'th stock law will be upon 'us all, whether we like it or not. "" ' All that jis necessary to bedone before the first day of September next, ishe build ing of the fence hetween thfe elowities Of Rowan and Stanly. .When that jslH have been built-i-and nothing,! lacking, lor the purpose except money -eveiy obstachs to a proper enforcement of the' new stock law will fa removed, and tlie neoDle of Kowan county, on khis question; "will have peaceM at last. !
