A RET. - South Atlantic and Northwestern R. E. Company. . j This is the name of a new projected trunk line, designed t connect the great northwest and the Atlantic sea- Upard, at Smith ville below WUnlng ton,N. CJ The link necessary to be built is from Smithville to Bristol, Tenn. beginning at Smith v31ev the points touched are, Conwayboro, Marjou and JJennettsville, in the north ern part of South Carolina, thence to Jtockinghara, Alhemarle and Salisbury. From this point it is proposed to go to Mocksville, Wilkesboro and through Cook's gap to Bristol. fr. David Risley is here in the in terest of the road, and is representing the New York Company who propose o construct the line. The objects of the construction are to m ike another shorter and better seaboard connection for the northwest, jxnd to make money out of a paying road. The coal fields, beds p fine jroji ore, and the great grain producing plains lying west and northwest of us, are sufficient sources fox an adequate and continued freight supply to the coast. The distribution pf inland freights will give business to the west bound trains, so font the busi ness prospectfis all that could be desired. The proposed line will be 100 miles shorter to the seacoast than any other Jin, and it ia expected to become one of the most important and remunrra- tive roads in the country. Mr. Risley Has been over th.3 greater part of the line and$adsthe people enthusiastic. He has just returned from Stanly county. The .county commissioners of that county have ordered an election for the purpose of voting $100,000 to the scheme. The election will be held on the 28th of Sept The county oJ Brunswick has also ordered an election; fof tfre purpose of voting; a like amount to the road. In regard to the money given by these and other counties, not a cent of it is asked for by the com pany building the road, until it is com- piete ana trains actually running. through county. Thisrejiftves the situation of any risk, and is a sufficient guarantee tp the people. The contractor of the road, Mr. BUhelmer, now has a corps of engin eers engaged in making the survey from the Smithville end of the line, and they are expected to reach Salis bury within a few weeks. Mr. Risley says the road will surely be built. He hopes to find sufficient encour agement in Salisbury to justify his Owning this way. If this is not gran Jed, he av8 there will be nothing left for )iim to do but swing to the right from Rockingham, and go by Troy, .Lexington and Winston. The question is now before the peo ple of Salisbury. What will they do about it? There is a chance of making this the Atlanta of North Carolina the great distributing point for the yvest and northwest; an opportunity to make Salisbury a live, growing town, ull of business. Shall we gat, or let t go by? '; - The Yadkin Rail Road. The seeming immediate prospect of active work on this Une, and the pa pers .already signed by the directors of the road with Dr. Emmens of London, acts as a check on a Very rapid move ment f our leading people here in re gard to the new trunk line scheme represented by Mr. Risley. Ninety days must expire before the directors of the Yadkin road will be able to apt at . all, since that time was left open in the contracts drawn up between them .and Dr. Km mens. The friends of Enjmeus think he is aeting in gtnxl faith and means business while the trunk line offers superior advantages. Stanly county, ough her directors are pledged to the adkin scheme, yet they have ordered an electhm for the pnrpose tf giving 00 000 to the South Atlantic and Korj,Ii western Co. The charters of the two roads do not.peet for water works soon, and a grow onflkf. while each has the right to ling population. s pass over the same territory. It is hoped that no complications iay arise. Tw Coit of Building Bail Roads. Spiking of rail roads, and the cost of conatruction, it would be" well to loolc at these figures. Private individ uals are constructing a branch of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad, beginning at a point some ten miles from Greensboro, and running 9 miles to a point near Worth vflle, in Randolph county, at a total cost of $7,000 for the nine miles, 'his is for grading and putting the cross ties on preparing the bed for the iron and rolling stock. Less than a thousand dollars amile in an undulating country. At suh prices North Carolina should haveran abun dance of railroads. What Independents Cannot Do. The Asheville Citizen, m speaking of independent candidates, very cor rectly remarks: T "We do not know anywhere in North Carolina were there is cause or need for any independent candidate. We do not know a single one who can remedy evils of which he complains; we do not know a single one who is able to make a stronger impress on national or State legislation (than they whose inefficiency hedenounces; we do not know a single one who is more competent to direct public affairs to the good of the people with more ability or honesty than those selected by the de liberate voice of the people ia Conven tion assembled; nor do we know any one authorized to come out on his own motion as the champion of the people for violated right or justice through the act of such conventions. Independents are not needed; they are not wanted; they effect no public good; they are enemies, not friends to the cause they affect to serve; their aims are all selfish, their ambition is all personal. This is the milk in the cocoanut. It is selfishness, egotism, conceit; noth- mg more, nothing- less. -If thfMnen whom the people, in their conventions nominate to fill the offices, cannot ac complish all that it was hoped they would, even when they are backed hy the prestige and strength of the great Democratic party of America, how, in the name of common sense, can it be supposed that these independents will "do wonders" in a single bonded com bat. Bah! conceit, deceit and all un clean ness. The people are not fools as these independents seem to think. Dr. F. H. Hamilton, the distinguish ed surgeon of New York, who attended Garfield when he was shot, is dead. Maj. C. W. McClammy'was nomina ted in the 3rd Congressional District, over Wharton J. Green, the old repre sentative. W. H. Caraway, the D. R. Walker of the Raleigh Xeics and Observer has been appointed post office inspector, and assigned to duty at Chicago. Louis C. Latham was nominated in the 1st Congressional District, on last .Thursday, over Skinner, who has rep resented that districtlE or several terms. Ex-Governor Holden has withdrawn from the Raleigh Baptist and joined Methodidst church in that citv. Some local church trouble is assigned as a reason for the change. The finding of dead Americans in the public highways of Mexico jk be coming a rather frequent occurrence. They may turn out unfortunate finds for the Mexicans in the end. Troy, in Montgomery; Moresville, in Iredell; Yadkin College, in Davidson; Franklin and Randleman in Randolph, have been made money order offices. Those doing business with those towns will remember the fact. Mr. Boyden, Salisbury's post master, suggested the matter to Congressman Henderson, who secured the change to the con venience of the general public. General A. G. Sedgwick, of N ew York, has been commissioned by Secty. Bayard to gp to Paso del Norte, Chi huahua ahd perhaps as far as the city ot Mexico, for the purpose of securing and forwarding without, delay all of the available information touching the Cutting case. Nothing will be done until tins information is received. Wm. Gray, Jr., late treasurer of the Atlantic Mill Co., Boston was, a few days ago, found short in his accounts with the Company to an amount be tween five and six hundred thousand dollars. On being confrontewith the defalcation he confessed his crime and went off and committed suicide. There can be no pity for a man who goes on year after year with systematic robbery and never kills himself until his villainy is discovered and spread out before his family and tlje public. It never rains but it ppars. Salis bury has two railroad schemes, a nms. 'XVacTi KraAes from Elowinr Rock.'

Cllli, on toe gumma ui uic uiuc umgC) four thousand and ninety feet above sea level, overlooking the upper basin of the John's Riv Valley. This Basin lies hundreds of fcet I am afraid to guess how many below the mountain ridge, and for some reason or other is called "The Globe," perhaps because it resembles the concave side of a hollow globe. The winds that sweep over the Grandfather mountain, some twelve miles west, dip down into this concave of the "Globe," and as they strike the rocky ledge, are turned upward, and burst over it in a eooliug breeze. Visitors throw papers, handkerchiefs, and sometimes summer hats, over the ledge, and the breeze, es pecially in the late evening, whirls them back over their heads. It would however be well to test its strength before tossing a valuable hat over the precipice ! From Blowing Rock the ledge runs about two miles westward on the north side of the "Globe" and the turnpike runs near the brink, furnishing a vast prospect to the south, eastr and- west, with moun tain peaks in great numbers, such as the Tableock, Hawk s Bill, Grandfather, and in the dim distance, the lofty Black Mountain range. At the end of this ledge of two miles the traveller turns off to the north, and descending about one hundred and forty feet in half a mile, reaches Blowing Rock Post Office, where the Watauga Hotel, Morrises, Estes's, and Stewart's Boarding Houses are, he is still on the Blue Ridge, and is very much mystified to find that the waters on the east run into New River, Great Kana wha, and the Mississippi, while those on the west side, run into John's Rivet, the Catawba, and the Atlantic Ocean; '? The mystery is explained by the fact- thaf the "blue ridge" instead of being a straight, continuous ridge, as jt appears at the distance of fifty miles, is a "Sierra," as the Spanish call such a range, that is, a gigantic saw, with its teeth very large and set very wide apart. If this huge saw were turn ed teeth downward, and pulled back ward and forward for a few times, it wotdd rip out a channel in ths earth from twelve to twenty miles in width. The Bhae Ridge is the water-shed," that winds backward and forward among these mountain peaks and valleys, and its shape and direction will forcibly remind the fisherman of the shape and direction of an earthworm when he attempts Jo' impale him on a fish-hook. This region, elevated about four thous and fcet above the sea is the highest freshest, coolest, pleasantest summer re sort, I have ever seen. The springs of water, gushing everywhere, have a tem perature of about 4i or 60, Fahrenheit. The air registers from about 75 at mid day, down to o6, or less. It is greener than the Emerald Isle itself. The moun tains and Valleys are covered with grass or loaded with forests. The streams are full of mountain trout, and the disciples of Izaak Walton are seen day after day, easting their lines in the waters. But the wonderful vegetable growth is the glory cf this region. Towering spruces and white pines ri?e thick In the valleys, while the chestnuts, oaks, hickories, maples and ashes are seen every where, intermingled with the rhododen Jr ns ivies, witch hazels, and hundred of other shrubs and trees. In early July the woods are radiant with the flowers of the rhodo dendron, (laurel) and ivy, while ferns (Dixonia and Maiden's hair) clothe the hillsides and ravines, with their feathery foliage. I tried one day in August to make out a list of flowers that grew wild around us. Besides many that I did not know, I saw Cardinal flowers, purple and scarlet, orchids, coreopsis, clematis, sax ifrage, golden rod, "the slight harebell," elder blooms, and millions of oxeye dai ses. The ladies, not having the fear oftlie new Directory of worship before their eyes desired to decorate the church with flow ers each Saturday evening, and I did not have the heart to object. In fact their large vases of ferns, rhododendrons, and drooping clematis, the workmanship of God's own hand, seemed more in keeping with His House, than panelled pews, carved pulpit, carpeted aisles, or wains cotted walls, nor dfd they distract the attention from the simple Presbyterian Worship. X : THE NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH was dedicated on theoth of July, though not finished. It was not ceiled, nor was .the pulpit up, but with comfortable seats, p was a pleasant place to worship m. It is a neat, and tasteful building, capable of seating one hundred and sixty people. It has a beautiful spire upon it, in which a bell is to be hung. The whole reflects credit upon the taste of the architect, and the building Committee, It is furnished With a Cabinet Organ and a neat Com munion Service. From the day of its dedication, morning and evening Sabbath services, with afternoon Sabbath school and Wednesday night Prayer or Praise meetings, have been held. The two hun dred, or more of summer-boarders gath ered there, with a number of the citizens, iuxnisn gooa ana attentive congrega tions. Indeed this appears to be a very promising field of labor. Few of the churches of Watauga County have preach ing ofteaer than once a.mouth. And with the inpouring of more light, there is a demand for a higher order of preaching than that of the uneducated, but often zealous, and pious preachers who are "to the manner born.' The people are be ginning to think and read more, and un less guided into the truth, will take up with plausible error. A little mingling with them will unearth, now an Adven tist, with Ms materialism, and, now a Swedenborgian, with his mystical rhapso dies. And then you will find a reader of, and believer in, the blasphemous Tom Paine. The mass of the people are Bap tists, with some Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians and German Reformed, and here and there an isolated Presbyte rian, One good old Baptist lady told me that some of the people djd not like for the Presbyterians to come there, but for her part she believed "that there was good and bad in all churches." She had heard our preaching and liked jt very well. Af ter talking with her about our blessed haviour s death lor us, and the need of repentance, faith, and holy living, in or der, to salvation, her heart melted, and she said, "yes, that was justwhat she be lieved." They who are taught bv the Spirit of God learn the same lesson all over the world. This chapel having been built and paid for, we must signalize the new era, by new, persistent and seTf-denyiug efforts to hold fast what we have gained, and add t hereto yearly. But I must iot close Pthis letter without mentioning various Lck; Tutors are al making excursions to iwint near or remote. Even the feSflest uboarder, wiU of ftn evenin t seem to think that the sun cannot set properly over the peaks of the Grand father, unless they help him by gazing from "Sunset Rock.'' Still others walk three miles to get a look into the. Watau ga Valley, from "Raven's Rock." Others repair of an evening to "Boyden's Hill." a mile distant to get a grand prospect to J me lour pomis oi me compass Ana just beyond "Boyden's Hill" the Rowan County man will hud a neighborhood of Rowan County people settled "all in a pile," as they say Kiuttzes, Holtshous ers, Trexlers, Lentzes, with the Rev. Mr. Ingle among them. I asked one of them why a Rowan man wanted to live where he could raise no wheat, no sweet pota toes, little corn, and few oats. O, he said, we can raise rye, and Irish potatoes, cab bage and grass in abundance. But the chief object was health. He had not needed a doctor in his family lor live years, and did not have the chance to attend a funeral for two years after he moved to Watauga. But if "Boyden's HU1" is not high enough, the visitor goes to Green's Hill, and looks over into the interminable vista of the Wilkes County Mountains. If not satisfied yet he climbs the heights of Flat Top, and gets a still broader view. And if not satisfied yet, he goes 12 miles oil', and spends a night on the top of the "Grandfather," 5877 feet above sea level. Though I should have been glad to have stood on this grand height, and- to have made the acquaintance of Mrs. Calloway, and her hospice, on tb.d -sides of this mountain, I confess that my courage led me no higher -than -the modest 'Flat Top." But not only are there mountains here, but beautiful waterfalls,springs, glens, and odd nooks and corners everywhere. Vis tors go to Valle Crucis Falls, twelve miles distant, and the ; Watauga Falls, eight miles distant, I contented mvself with the nearer and more accessible Glen, Burncy Falls, a half mile distant, Here the little head-stream of John's River glides over a rock, 45 feet high, and shap-1 ea like the quarter segment ot a circle. The stream divides into a half dozen run lets, and slidesyand gleams in the sun light. "I slip, I slide, I gleam, J glide, To join the brimming river," isays Teunison in his '"Brook. " And so says this sliding cataract, as the waters plash by day and by night, the whole year round. "JMd you ever see water tall so deliberately?'' said a friend, when we first stood at the foot of. the cataractx, I Tiad seen the dashing Gcnessee Falls, and the thundering Niagara, but never any thing more sweet and gentle than the winsome Glen-Burney. But time and space would fail were I to introduce the "Olen-Mary" Falls, the "Moss" -Spring, the "LUrahse" Spring, and the hundreds of curious and enter taining litilo jico' s arid corners that cluster around Blowing Rock. An artist sojourning there this summer declared that he did not know a more interesting spot in all the country, and the only thing lacking to him was the presence of other artists with whom he could discuss the various points of beauty and sublimity. I may add that if there were scattered here and there a few sheets of water like Loch Katrine, Grasrnere,- or Windermere this would be one of the most charming spots in the world, and that such moun tains as the Pent lands and Grampians, Ben venue, Ben Lomond, Ben Lcdi and Skiddaw, would dwindle into insignifi cance, were they placed among the innumerable, but almost unnamed "peaks of Watauga County, North Carolina. J. RUMPLE. Aug. 1SSG. The Forest Fire3. GREAT DESTRUCTION AND LOSS OF LIFF. Chicago, August 18. The Daily News, Fort Howard, Wis,, says : Reports from the great fires in this region have not been at all exaggerated and it requires but a glace to show that but little of the real misery and destruction they have caused has yet been brought to light. For.d Howard and Green Bay are euveK oped in dense volumes of smoke, and all around the outskirts of the town can be seen fiamcs as they from the distant woods. Since the train left Milwaukee the effects of the late drouth have been more and more apparent. The railroad seems as though ii. had been built by an unscrupulous board of county commis sioners, and contracts let out to as many culvert builders as possible. The road north of Appleton seems to consist ol culvert built without any cause, for there is not a sign of one of tae creeks which they are designed to cross. . Everything Lis as dry as tinder, and fences and grass along the tracks are either burned or now burning, and bushes are all on tire and burning fiercely. Here, too, the smoke become more dence and hung in the atmosphere sullenly as though waiting an opportunity to settle down ahd evelop the country in Egyptian darkness. Over the water in Green Bay it descends like a dense fag in all but its color light brown and the wind alternately clears it away and allows it to gather again. The sun shines through it like a huge orange and casts a sickly shadow'. The scarcity of water makes every one apprehensive ot fire, and the proximity of the forests is a constant source of dread. One of the most peculiar effects of the fire is the action of the animals, which seem to be apprehensive of some great danger. Cat tle and horses huddle together, forgetting to feed, and stamp the ground restively. Even the birds seem frightened, and fly around in an aimless sort of way. Around Green Bay the damage has been heavy, but the greatest loss has been suffered in the Oconto region. Dcpre village, half a dozen miles south of here, has suffered heavily- Ijast Monday night the confla gration broke out and consumed fifty one buildings, including a church and seyeal stores. The fire according to the" last report, are rapidly dying out, and unless a gale of wind should spring up will proably Gause but little more damage. The loss pf life is less than was antici pated, although it is doubtless greater than has ben reported. Communication with the timber districts is slow ,and investigation will doubtless bring to light a great deal of sufleriug. Eu Claire, Wis., August 13.. The latest reports from Chippewa, in the fire district, were received from several woodsmen who arrived from Deer Tail, an importaut feeder of Chippewa, last evening. They have traveled consider ably over the burnt and unburnt districts north of here, and say no territory can escape the devastation of the flames in its present dry condition. Superior regions are well burat over, but tires have broken out afresh in a number of localities on the Upper Chippewa since Tuesday, end are rafrinr fairfiiUv. Of the esnaned territory so far are tracts along the Deer Taii towards SauH St. Marie, on which there are plenty of chopping and windfalls which w 11 O cr most combustible food for ths, flames, which are expected to reach that local v in a dav or two. Settlement nrc sfturse in that direetion. and the loss witt be confined to the atahdiir' nine and hemlock. On th Yellow river, forty miles northeast of here, tb ffra have done irreoarable damage. The fires are having their own way, but men are now stationed at, tK logging camps and hay marshes to save that property if possible. The Chippewa districts have so far escaped with less damage than the other districts ward. Ths trial of Dr. Wcolrow. Auffimta, Ans. 17. The trial of Dr. James Wood row on the charo of heresby by the Augusta Presbytery was begun nt Bethany church" near nion Point today. The centenary of the church is also being celebrated, consequently acrowd of four thousand people from the surrounding counties and neigh boring cities is in attendance. Much interest is manifested in the trial in this section of the country, not only by Presbyterians, hut by people of all denominations. From" the ts of the proceedings, and the per sonnel of the body, it is believed that the Presbytery is inclined to favor Dr. AV oodrow, but as yet the final conclu sion of the trial is all conjecture. The indictment brought by Dr. William Adams, of Angusta, was read, to which Dr. Woodrow pleaded riot guiltv. He acknowledged the authorsip of the ad dress before the Alumni Association of the Columbia Seminary and the articles in the Southern Presbyterian in refer ence to evolution. He stated that he had also made speeches containing the same or similar sentiments before the Synods of Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Florida, and now owned and believed everything set forth in said publications and speeches. Dr, Girardeau, of Columbia the first witness, was questioned by Dr. Adams. He was surprised on hearing Dr. Wood row's views in reference to evoluton, and after considering1 the matter and making known his opposition to Dr. Woodrow, resigned his chair In the Seminary. The effect of Dr. Woodrow's teachings before the Seminary caused dissension, but he knew certainly of no student who adopted the Doctor's views. The Case in a XutsheU. Philadelphia Times, The Mexican' dispute hangs on a single question of fact, and the ap pointment of a special commissioner to astertain aud report the fact on which the controversy hinges, was a sensible and proper act by the government. Secretary Bayard, in his official re view of the case furnished to Congress, stated that there was no pretence that Cutting had circulated in Mexico the iibel published in the United States, And if Secretary liayard was correctly informed on that point, it was his plain and imperative duty to demand Cut ting's release, and to enforce the de mand by war if necessary. Since then Cutting has been several times reported as admitting that he himself took info Mexico a copy of his El Paso paper containing the libel and exhibited it, before his arrest and the Mexican Judge who decided the case and sentenced Cutting treated the cir culation of the paper I13' Cutting as an undisputed fact in the case. If Cut ting circulated the libel in Mexico be fore his arrest, he was by his own act subject to the Mexican courts, and the United States Government has not a Shadow of right to interfere in his be half. The marrow of the case is in the single fact as to Cutting's circulation of the libel in Mexico before -his arrest, and as that fact is in dispute the gov ernment must first officially and con clusively ascertain the truth, and a special- commissioner has been wisely summoned to that duty.

The hitch in the negotiations resulted in the breaking up of the peaceful propositions, and reinstating of the strik ers. The hitch is as to who are included in the pay roll. Secretary Turner under stood the president, superintendent, etc., to be on the pay roll, but the books of the companies show differently. Turner withdraws his proposition aud orders, his Knights not to go to work. The mill men are willing to stick to the propo sition accepted yesterday. They are willing to leave everything to the arbi tration provided for in the proposition, but decline to have the clause of the proposition relative to the pay roll stricken out. Turner is satisfied that any arbitration committee would decide that the officers named do not come within the meaning of the pay roll clause of the proposition,, Therefore having failed in his purpose through misunder standing, he withdrew the proposition made by virtue of such misunderstand ing, and orders the Knights not to report for duty, and declares the strike still on.

A. H. Boyden, P. M. A WISE REFORM. The habit of administering quinine in powerful dose, as an antidote to malatial maladies, practice has undergone a wide reform. Not only the public, but profes sional men have adopted, not wholly of com so, but largely. Mostetter's Stomach Bitters as a safe botanic substitute for the pernicious alkaloid. The consequences of this change are moat important. Now lever and ague sufferers are cured former ly their complaints werepnly for the time relieved, or half cured the remedy event ually failing to produce any appreciable effect, except thcv doses were increased. A course of the Bitters, persistently followed, -breaks up the worst attacks and prevents their return. The evidence in favor of this sterling specific and household medicine is of no ambiguous character, but positive and satisfactory, anil the sources whence it proceeds are very numerous.
