MINING IN M ECKLEN B UHG
COUNiY. i
On a flying trip to Charlotte, we found
the -milling interest lively, with pros
pects of far more animated life during the
coming fall. There, were capitalists ami
expetU there, and the local uiiuiirg ; men
were showing, them what
was to
be
seen.
In that county, the Reed mine, the
Maxwell, the Henderson,-thy Ray i the
McDonnell, (or P. Wilson), the Howell,
the Smart, the Black, the Ieuhouri and
the liudesall are all in active opera
tion. - -
At the Rudesall, they have re-setthe
boiler, re-huiltpump-hoh ami otherwise
renovated the plant. The development
is about to be pushed deeper bt-lovy the
2'.)0 foot level. This . property is; now-
worked by the new management of Smart
and .U-Dowel I, under whose enterprising
and energetic superintendence it is anti
cipated that the mine will be rendered
more productive than at any' time during
its former history.
Besides these mines, the Adams smelt
ing and reduction works aire going! "p;
Chas. E. Iiobei sou's New Yolk milling
and smelting works, Pi etcher & Tuck
er's cloriuathm works, and Smart &! Mc
Dowell V works, eight miles from Char
lotte, are. ready for work. To keep till
these w orks busy it will require the w ork
ing of more of Mecklenburg's mines, and
by -the-way, there is no less than about
fifty properties of more or less mineral
value in that County.
Our party spent an hour at the old
Ray mine, now known as the
BALTIMORE AKDOJ. C. COI'PElt AND GOLD
MLXIXG COMPANY.
This property compriscsuhont.'?').') acres,
lying seven. mile southeast of Charlotte.
The company have done very little work
on top the buihlings having a rather di
lapidated appearance.
They ale working ores lifted fiom three
shafts, all of which are over one hun
dred feet down. There is about 45 feet j
of stoping under ground. The product is
known as Muowu ore,' carrying mole or
less sulphnrets.
The stijieiiiifendent, a'Mr, James Rob
inson, estimates the ores at $ 1 6d,0ti per
ton. This struck 11 a being rather
over estimated, though some of the ore
-rimy have assayed That much. He said
that fro in a tout twelve tons of ore he
took one thousand pennyweights. 'jam!
that he was sat i -lied he lo.-t half, which
was washed away in the sit I ph 11 rets." i
The old "cvier shaft," look as though
it had been abandoned for years; but we
were told that it was to le re opened in
a short time. Some of the ore from' the
shafts now being worked show copper.
They have a sixty-horse engine and
large boiler. ' With this power they run
the hoist, and the two pumps which drain
the miue, and a five stamp mill and
amalgamating machinery.
Tlie mine has the appearance of Wing
a valuable one there leiug altout a hun
dred tons of fair ore on the dumps.
The superintendent was not the 1-ast
bit communicative nnd refused any imr
ticular information, except that 4he was
a Scotchman, ami that those not acquain
ted, could not tell him from the common
workme n, as he was a worker himself,
&c." To us the distinction was in favor of
the commou workmen. However, his
egotism and impoliteness does not affect
the mine, w hich is a good oue audrshould
have better mauagemeiit.

ifticli were some of the reflections whiijh
occurred to us 011 Monday while view ing
t lie farm in that portion of lh county
ly iog between Salinoury and tne neiglj
Isn hood of Thyatira cliurch. In a ride of
from 'i lo 14 miles many a farm came in

It is not supposed that the time will

study any of the luhors which occupy
their bauds, but perform them as they

man wUol. seeks to know the reason ot
Inings, and steadfatly adheres to the
practice of true principle because they
are true, ami will not depart from tlieiu
because other w ays are easier or less cost

DRUNKENNESS A CRIME.
Many causes conspire, tojnake men. say
and adyocate measure which when prop
erly understood hare no foundation iu
right ami justice. E il exists ami lejfi
latiouis required, and passion and interest
array themselves iu opposition to what
is the lst interest of the- community.
All reforms leget opposition, and a it
interests large classes of nieii the opposi
tion becomes in proportion more aud
more violent. I 1
The temperance question has engiged
the thought of men from time iiuunmto
rial. Many solutions have heen proposed
tor the enforeeiiient of it, ahd heuee every
oue should give the same cjirefnl th.i igbt
to rid Siiciety of the greaiest curse that
ever amicteii the human tamiiv. No I
tongue can. express the evil of intemper
ance, and hence all should red -ct upon
measuie for the eradication of it. Chris
lianity aud civilization Imtiestaud. array
ed against it, lor reasons olu ions to every
red.'ciing mind. That iiiteiu.ii'iance is a
crime no oue will deny, as all the great
writers on law treat the qiie-tion as set
lb il beyond controversy. jBlackstone iu
hi Commentaries, 4th bjoiksays that

tor one crime cannot le piivilcdjged by
the com uissioii-of an tiier.;Tue legis.a
ture has tlm 1 ight to ' suppress this as
any dher viol. 11 ion of law ;raml the exer
cise of this clear ami undoubted constitu
tional authority, ought to do so, us much
so as arson, ioUImt.v, burglary, or any
other clime ir miMteiitfuiior. No sane
reflecting man can gainsay the above
piopositinn ; and no more Cause of com
plaint can justly be made against the
lule prohibition law than any constitu
tion law e er passed by any legislature
at any lime ; and here we might let the
hi. liter rest. We could say in ire aud will
do so, as the suhje. t d m inds a full ami
free discussion, and Ihe frb-ud khow
. 1 1 a t the best interest ot society are ad
vanced by temperance, will avail them
selves of nil constitutional measures to
s.-cuie the same. We cannot do justice
to the subject iu this essay, but we will
express our opinion more at large iu a
future article, and prove that the cause
is just and will ultimately prevail.
The recent mauilesto put forth by the
anti prohibitionists will lie replied to aud
its reasons and conclusions Will be shown
to have no foundation except iu a dis
tempered imagination. It will be the
duty of the next legislature to pass an as
stringent prohibition law without sub
mitting the same to the people for ratifi
cation, ami in so doing will meet the ap
proval of the moral power Of the . State.

Rowan Teachers' Institute.
The following arrangemonts have been
perfected concerning the Institute for the
teachers of Rowan 'County :
It will be held at Salisbury, in the new
Graded School Buiuling daring the first
1 wo weeks of August. It will be under the
sup:-r i-mn of the County Superintendent.
Its exercises will be -ondueteil bv Prof.
NT. C. English. Prineip-il of the Gradeil
School at Greensboro. Prof.- English is
thoroughly posted in Normal and Institute
work, and i no w engaged in conducting
the State Normal School at Newton. He
will be assisted by a corps of able instruc
tors in the various common "school
branches, and every effort will be made to
render the Ins.itute both interesting and
instructive. Special arrangements w ill be
made for the entertainment ot teachers from
the country, and we think that any teacher
will be enabled to avail himself of the ben
ches of the Institute at the nominal ct of
five or six dollars, in some cases, even less.
All teachers; both male and female, and
all proposing to teach, are eMit'ed to its
privileges. The new School Law sas, that
all public school teachers shall, be required
to attend.
A fuller announcement may be expected
in a few das. I shall consider il a favor
if some teacher, or School Committeeman,
or any one interested in education :n each
township, will at once forward me the
names and addresses of the teachers, or
those intending to teach, in that township.
