For the Watchman. Scotch Irish Items. Mt. Vernon, March 8th, 1884. 1 ho winter here, has been unusually severe SUOWH. and much, several considerable a larce amount of rain fall aud setere winds. Consequently the farmers are badly behind in their preparations for a crop. Tbejoutleok for a wheat crop is quite promising. The crop sown is verv large. From present appearances there will be a very large crop of fobaeco planted, some farmers having sown as many as three to four and five beds for plants. The Krider Mills, now run by Mesars. aughn &, Crauford, are iu good repair and are doing a large amount of grinding and turning oat a very superior brand of flour. The Raker Mills, now being managed by Mr. Geo. E. Hughey, have, for the present, suspended, and are undergoing repairs, putting iu new fore bay, repair ing saw mill, and putting in a shiugle machine, etc., but operations will be re sumed in a few weeks. At Mt. Vernon, the Messrs. Fleming are keeping quite an attractive lot of goods, of which they sell good many, at.veiy reasonable rates, en passant, at this place there might be a very lucra tive trade built up, with sufficient capital and enterprise. It is certaiulv an invit ing situation to men of means, besides, the water power at the mill is capable of running vastly more machinery than it now docs. - The Presbyterian church at Third Creek, ltev. Mr. White, pastor, have de termined to build a parsonage at Elm wood, in Iredel I county. , - By the way there is a new departure up here in the way of tabuing leather, by the new patent process of Thomas P. Tucker, Batcsville, Ark., which bids fair to work a revolution iu that business. y this process, a common cow hide can be tanued in 20 to 30dnys, aud a sheep skin in 5 days, the latter making the best of whang, the cest being merely nominal, ihe leather is very pliant, aud of superi or quality. I his township is heavily timbered with the finest of pine, oak and other valuable timbers, and presents an attractive open Bi r.?m one ownog a steam saw mill. The Fmnklinitea have about five such establishments. Could they net spare one and send it up here for these people? It would certainly pay the owneiB. VY. R. pUALKY. For the Watchman. Mt. Ulla, March, 1884. Mr. Editor : Yoor correspondent, "Clod Koncker" is a right good follow, some times wrong (!) but uftener right. In your issue of February 21st eh "Drain age of Rowan creek bottoms" he certain ly struck the "key note." This is a sub ject of no small importance to Rowan county, and in our humble opinion de serves our most careful consideration. It has been, and still is a puzzling problem, one that roust be solved sooner or later, and for numerous reasons, the sooner the better. We sincerely hope that this matter will be kept before the minds of eur people, discussed and agiated by those competent to do so, until some def inite plan is agreed upon which will best aud most speedily secure the much needed and desired end. We believe that our County Commis sioners have the power and would exercise it, if petitioned, to have each creek chan el surveyed from the river so many miles, or to ft given point, to ascertain the amount of fall from point to point ; the possibility and practicability of carrying on the work, that proceedings may be intelligent. lu a conversation a few years ago with an ox Congressman of large experience and observation, on this subject oCd rain ing Rowan creeks, lie said in substance : "It can be done, it should be done, and I believe it will be done ; but you roust discuss it, get men to thinking about it, educate the people up to it before you can get a politician to touch it." That is just the point: chronic grumbling without an honest effort to better one's condition is not commendable. We must go to work as we did about the stock law if we would expeet to wju. Respectfully, G. Virginia Thanks Senator Vance. The Richmond St tic refers to the Dan ville investigation, and the part iu it taken by Senator Vance, as follows : "Iff the Danville investigation Sena tor Vance, of North Carolina, has ap peared as the counsel for the defense. It is Virginia's pride that he was a volunteer counsel. We have had uo need to call assistance, lie is from another State. The counsel for the prosecution is from Virginia. His uame is William Mahoue, and he occupies the position of both volunteer and paid counsel. His vindic tive treachery buoys him in his efforts to blacken the name of the State which has cast him out. Hia vulture appetite begets the desire that the Commonwealth shall be dead, iu order that his carnou crav- i 7 iugs can be satisfied. Like the condor of the Andes, he would feed inaolitude on the carcass of the good and brave, and be bravest when the aunt or the dy seeks tqj interfere with his disgusting feast. He was hired by the detainers of Virginia to blacken her good name. .The whelo Commonwealth thanks Sen ator Vance, her champion in the prose cution made against her. He has thrown back the slanders aud shown the true inwardness of the assaults on our good name. Virginia will uot forget Z. B. Vauce, her counsel." Mr. Rayner's Fame. From the News and Observer. Raleigh, N. C. "Kenneth Rayner, solicitor of the treasury, died yesterday in- Washing ton. "Mr. Rayner was, we believe, a native of North Carolina, and is chiefly known to fame as the author of a letter in reply to an application to license a woman as pilot." My attention has been drawn to the above exceedingly brief, and to say the least, ungracious notice of the death of the Hon. Kenneth Ravuer. in Washington, on the 5th inst. It comes from the Petersburg Mail of tlie 6th. We had thought it a matter of familiar learning that the distiuguised dead Carolinian was more widely known to fame for his eminent services to State and nation, in whose halls, of the latter especially, he ranked with tbe foremost men of his time, than for the authorship ofa letter iu reply to an application to license a woman as pilot. The following remarks of his in the Uuited States House "of Representatives some time prior to the war, under very peculiar provocation, have at least made him known throughout the limits of his beloved Carolina Mr. Wise, of Virginia, remarked ; "North Carolina had so long followed Virginia that she now felt like an ap prentice just set free." Mv. Rayner, of North Carolina, arose aud said : "Sir, North Carolina needs no defender here, and if she did, she would be uufortunate in having no abler advo cate than myself, it is eutncieut com pliment to her to say that while on the North aud ou the South of her the spirit of reform has been unable to contend with the demon of faction, on entering her borders the flag of constitutional free dom is seen floating iu triumph from her Atlantic beach to her nionutaiu tops. "She reposes not idly on the fame of her ancestor, and if she has uot as many bright names to adorir her history, as those who revile her, she is at least saved the disgrace of violating their dying pre cepts and dishonoring their shades. "Let it be remembered that Athens was ouce the noblest and proudest state of Greece. All the other members of that confederacy were glad to do her honor. Tet she was the first to surren der her freedom to the golden bribes of Philip, whilst the Thebaus, who had so long been the objects of her reproach, perished nobly on the field of Cherouea, with the expiring liberties of Greece. Let the gentleman from Virginia take the allusion and apply it at his leisure." Roanoke. MINING. T. K. BRUNHR, MANAGER. Mining lu tbe South-eastern ted States. Unl- ( Continued from last Week.) The operations of South Carolina were on a fat larger and more satisfactory scale than ever. Speculative and reckless mining have been shunned ; lo calities have been wisely chosen, and, though few in number comparatively, have made a large return. The Thomson mine aud the West mine in Union county are two of a considera ble group, most of which shew common characteristics large formations, soft and tree ores, and low grade material ; min ing and milling are cheap, and from these circumstances prosperity comes rather than from richness of material. Tho last named mine is in its incep tion and has made little gold, but every thing is favorable, and the returns in creasing. The former has 10 stamps, the lattsr 20. The Magnolia mine in York county (with twenty stamps) was in legal trou ble, the eutire year, but the property was sold in December to satisfy the indebted ness upon it, and will probably soon be at work. There are five veins on the premises, most of them of fair, and some of great width : the ore is low grade ; I see no reason why it should not soon be a steady producer. None of these veins have yet been sunk upon to any great deptlt. Although there are a number of mines in the same neighborhood none are worked. Very little placer work was done in the upper part of the State as hereto fore. The Brewer mine in Chesterfield con tinued its work without change, aud with the same quiet energy, aud secured, apparently, the same prosperous re sults. For the most part operations were confined to purely hydraulic work. There is, however, an enormous area of mate rial never yet worked except by "gougera" who have merely tapped it at points, aud have rather explored it than exploited it, for their efforts have merely served to define its limits roughly aud to indicate its nature; it must be several hundred acres in exteut. I refer to a singular mass of loosely aggregated sand travers ed by irregular masses of hernstone more or less sulphuretted. This soft material assays $2 to $3 per ton, and the horn -stone something better. The whole mass is admirably adapted to both the hy draulic aud mill treatment combined, but is so. situated as to require a costlj out lay in opening it as well as a very expen sive plant of machinery. This property of 915 acres is situated on the top of a hill 216 feet high, and the water tor the hydraulic treatment- is pumped from a bold creek at its foot. The entire work is a good example of apparently insuperable difficulties readily surmounted. The Fuuderburke mine in Lancaster county, was down eighty -six teet, but only exploratory work had been done. But little ore was on the dump ; uo re ducing machinery had been erected at the close of the year, but ten stamps will probably le placed ou the property. The Haile mine in the same county with its twenty stamps and its Desig irolle plant made a roost successful ran iu 1683; not more than oue or two mines ou this side of the country have exceeded it in its output. This property of more than 1800 acres is a vast bed of Talco-chloritic aud Quartzose Schist, generally charged with Iron Pyrite to the extent ef two to four per ceut ; it is more difficult to say what is uot ore than what is, for everywhere it pnus. Iu the flush days of mining the old operators with their rude apparatus treated only the ore from from favored spots, and so the entiere surface is pitted with open cut work, and shafts, which to a practiced eye is the indication of great stores beneath. So loug as the conditions of work were easy everything was pres perous, but ultimately the circumstances required heavy machinery and to a great er or less extent pumping apparatus, aud the petty work has giveu way to a larger establishment. The old open cuts have been drawn upon for ore supplies, but new ores have been opened, no less extensive or rich, and deeper shafts have been sunk and drifted upon aud everywhere iu ore of working value. The last cut shows a breast of ore more than fifty feet wide, aud on the opposite side of the property a shalt on the Blauvelt vein opens up a bodv twenty-eight feet thick. It will easily be seen that the question of ore supply is not the primary question. A lato contract calls for the usual mill supply, ana two tnousand tons per month in addition at a cost for mining of GOcts. per ton : the milling is done ou an equally economical scale, aud the eutire work is a fine example of good adminis tration. The whole train of apparatus is reduced as nearly as possible to an automatic arrangement. The Designelle plant adds a considera ble per cent, to the mill return, and is now so largely altered as to have hardly more than the fundamental principles of the original process. The mill may probably be considers bly enlarged. The Wilson mine in York county, is the only really new enterprise, aud of that I regret that I can say nothing from per sonal observation ; its old reputation was good. Mill machinery is likely to be put upon it soon. Tho rate of production of South Care Una materially increased in 1883. the total product being nearly $57,000. There are sixty stamps in the state, aud nearly all at work, to this may be added three pans. Respecting North Carolina I need say little for vour sources of information are now so extensive as to keep you fully in formed ef all changes and improvements Some general facts within my knowledge it may not be intrusive to note. The work iu Frauklin, and Nash conn ties was without chance iu 1883 : in Moore county, the Cagle and Clegg did little work ; the Shields less. The Burns changed hands, aud pend ing rearrangement of machinery opera tions were larcelv curtailed. Iu Anson county, the Mikado formerly the J. L. Hamilton, was takeu ap again iu December, aud is likely to be soou at work milling. ihe urnmp in union county, was quite successfully worked, and for a part ot the year the lirightlight was operated The Baltimore and North Carolina in the east part of Mecklenburg after losing oue shaft iu attempting to open the South Vein, commenced to mill ore from it in September, and later m the seasou reopened the Ray vein ; work has con tinued steadily since. The Rudisil was occupied almost ex clusively wun the rich ores troro the large South chimuey ; these were mostly shipped to Newark, though a large dump of ore was accumulated cf too low grade for smelting ; a part of this was sent to the Uesig nolle works near Charlotte. Tho stamps were removed a year ago, having become too much worn to allow of further profitable use. The depth reached in this mine was nearly 300 feet. Tbe Saint Catherine) the north exten sion of the Rudisll was occupied the en tire year in sinking and runniug levels : the present depths is 250 feet. The mill was enlarged in the autumn and 10 stamps added to tbe other machinery. The highest grade ore was shipped. Tbe Arlington was filled with water the latter part of tho year pending tho settle ment of some legal difficulties; in Novem ber it was sold to satisfy creditors; in De cember it Was u u watered and now is being penetrated to a greater depth aud is like ly to be more carefully examined to as certain its real value before auy effort is made to reduce the ores. Tbe Capps did a full year's work, though it was mostly exploratory, and brought to the surface a large amount of ore, at the same time exposing an equally large amount iu the stops. This miue has no milling machinery, and is dependent on other establishments for tbe means of reduction. Of tbe smaller mines only the Johnson was worked. The Design oil e works near town were busy tho latter half of the year ; the chief work waa devoted to perfecting the de tails of the process. Of Cabarrus "W. H. 0." aud others have given you full notes from time to time. I need say nothing of Rowan, Mont gomery or Stanly. Hoover Hill has redeemed its failure of 1882, and with one or two exception has made a better return than any mine iu North Carolina. Mr. Frechvillo has shown great skill in his work aud his success is creditable. With Silver Hill idle aud Silver valley partially so, for it was filled with water most of the year, the work of maintaining tbe credit of Davidson county devolved on the Conrad Hill ; the general features of tho work you have exhibited from time to time. The mill and copper plant were con stantly at work ; the bullion product as reported from month to mouth was with in a fraction of $4,000, i. e. $48,000 for the year the largest report but oue from this side of the country. It is needless to say that Mr. Clayton's administration of the mine and metallur gical work is able, and based on solid busiueoa principles. In Gaston county the King's Mountain mine was employed a very short time; except at this and a very little placer work at tho Burrcll Wells nothiuc was done in the county. In Lincoln countv no mininc was car- riod on. Iu Catawba the Shuford still enlarged its work and had a very successful- years run ; apparently it is iu condition to do even better in 1884, but it seeds a larger number of stamps to do its best ; the wa ter sunnlv moved fullv adequate to the demand. In Polk county tbe Splawn, the Red Branch, the Smith and the Double Branch were tbe only places worked with any thing like regularity. The work of this countv like that in all the mountain comities was seriously hindered by the scanty supply of water. In Burke, McDowell and Rutherford operations were lessened by fully one- lalf, a diminution partly owing to the ack of water, but also in greater part due to the practical suspension ot two large companies. I have for some years noticed a teu- deucy among tho smaller operators to leave mining as an occupation tor agricultural aud mechanical pursuits ; this fact of itself shows the cause iu part of the decrease of production in these counties, and its influence will probably be still more manifest in the future. Captain J. C. Mills has done his cus tomary work aud is now engaged for the third year iu working out au an cient gulch, and has in this same gulch several year's more work. Should he bo able to enlarge his water supply as he uow thinks may be possible his returns are likely to be still greater. His large auriferous property ot 2,000 acres is in tho heart ot the iiriuilietown section. Tbe Hancock mine near Glen Alpine accomplished about the same work as in 1882 ; tbe Carolina Queeu in Ulen Alpine did loss; in the spring of 1883, the vein part of the mine was sold off, aud called the Little Princess; afterwards the Caro lina Queen, the Gleu Alpine, Soapstone Hollow aud Little Princess were consoli dated under tbe name of the Carolina Queen Consolidated. A five stamp mill was put up, but only one experimental run was made. At tho Grey son mine the pan process experimented on in the winter was found liianolicable. aud most ot the work was stopped iu the early summer. The Gamble Placer mine was opened in early autumn with good prospects. Tbe work in North Carolina rctrograd ed considerably in 1883. aud were it uot for the greater production of Conrad Hill andHooverHill,tbe yield would have been tar smaller ; as it was the decrease was ouly $20,000 to $30,000. Tho eutire product including contents of ores shipped was about $l'.UJ,(HX). The reduction machinery in North Car olina consists of 410 stamps, 4 Howlund batteries, 2 Parsons batteries, 3 set s rolls, 1 Pulverizer, 1 pan, aud 7 Chillian mills, the whole equivoleut, probably, to 55() to 600 stamps. To this may be added three chloriaation works and two Designolle works for the chemical treatment ot gold ores. A brief statistical exhibit for Ga., S C, and N.

Accord ing to tbe statistics given by a Boston loctnrer, twenty thousand divorces have been granted in New England during the last twenty years. In Massachusetts there is now one divorce to fourteen marriages since JobU the rate or divorces has in creased 147 per ceut. while the the rate of marriages has increased only four per cent. Iu Vermont there is oue divorce to fourteen marriages, in Rhode Island one to twelve, iu Connecticut one to eight. These figures indicate that of all civil contracts made in New England marriage is the one most likely to be broken, I ; . '" i A Shower of Blood. We do not ask our readers, says the Chatham Record to bel ieve the wonderful statement, but merely publish it as it is told to us. The wife of Kit Lasatcr, a negro who lives on the farm of Mr. Silas Beckwith, in New Hope township, states that about 2 o'clock on Monday the 25th of February, while she was at the bars near her cabin a show er of blood fell around her from a sun- bright sky ! Mauy of the neighbors, after hearing her statement, visited tbe spot and they all say that the ground embra cing an area of about 90 feet iu circumfer ence was covered with splotches of something like blood ; and an examina tion of the trees iu this space showed blood ou the branches. We are informed that a reputable physician of the neigh borhood visited the spot and said it was blood. Patti Kissed bt a Governor. A St. Louis telegram says : Patti has been tell ing tales out of school, and Governor Crittenden, of Missouri, is the hero of the hour. She said to-day to a reporter: "I had just finished singing 'Home Sweet Home,' last Thusday evening, when a nice looking old gentleman, who intro duced himself as Governor Crittenden, besan congratulating me, and all ot a sudden leaned down, put his arm around me, drew me to him, and kissed me. Ho said : -Madame Patti, I may never see you again, and I can't help it,' and before I knew it he was kissiug me. It wouldn't do to have everybody washing my face, you know, but when an old gentleman and a nice old gentleman, too, and the Governor of a great State kisses me so quickly that one has not time to object, what can one do?" A Bostoxian's Orisiou OF onte of our Large Houses. Mr. J. Boyce, one of the European buyers for Jordan, Marsh & Co., of Boston, Mass., passed through our city yesterday on his way to Florida, in search of recreation. He made a short survey of of the city, and after visiting the estab ment of Messrs. Wittkowsky & Baruch, be acknowledged himself fairly astonish ed, and said that his surprise at seeing such a house iu the South could only be compared to finding a garden of flowers in the midst of a desert. He inquired in to tho working details of the cash railway and check system as well as the mail or dor department, all of which he pronounc ed to be as thoroughly systematized as any of tbe largest retail houses of New York or New Eugland could possibly be. He might have found other busiuess houses equally well managed here, if he had hunted for them. Cliarlotte Observer. A.

Edison, the inventor, indulges iu the following prediction : "As to the changes which will be effected by electricity with in fifty years in the city of New York, I would say that I believe electricity will propel the cars of the street aud elevated railraods, light the city within and with out its buildings, furnish power for all purposes, work telephones and burglar alarms, deliver the opera, convery par cels, detect and signal fires, operate fire engines and possibly displace .animal lo comotion for vehicles." General Gordon's proclamatiou to the Soudanese is as follows : "Since roy arri val I have given you sound advice. Ev erything has been doue to insure quiet ness aud stun bloodshed.
