I saw no signs of trouble or distress and would not have known it was a mountain prison but for the triped unifo -ins and the clank of an occ .sional chain. These chains drop off after a period of good behavior. A tall good looking mulatto came to Capt. Reese while I was present and said, 'Captain, please, sir, have my chain tuk oJF please sir my leg's gittin' richt sore. sir. I is all right,. Captain. You knows I ain't gwine to try to git away please, sir, have my chains tuk oil'.' 'I can't do it, Jack,' said the Captain. 'I don't know you well enough yet.' I was introduced to a tall, middle aged man Who was pumping water. His name was Livingston and he was there for burglary, lie was from Maine and was a sailor, and must have run away to sea In his youth and was probably raised by indulgent parents, and' had a good education. His manner was gentlemanly and very respectful. He -smiled pleasantly and said : 'I heard 3tou were cominc, and I have written you a letter which you can peruse at your leisure.' The letter is very long, and so I will give only an extract : Mousr Nebo, Ga. 1 ' r. k mu: An ommverous coinoi nation oi pernicious strat try, ihclrdihg a double-barrel hot-gun artfully associated with a capricious sharp-shoot- r a blockading squadron in the oiling and a pacn -oi vorac ous, vivacious, backbiting, ma- icious, ra5ment-mutilating ounds beleaguers my frail noi tai barque- in sucn an in genious inaMner tnat. should 1 attempt to make a guileless pilcrimage un to the tabernacle to-night to hear you lecture, Ihe art would be received as if it was dictated by abnormal fanaticism bordering on imbe cility. - My spiritual casket woule be grotesquely feotooned with a galaxy of hostile 'purps' ere the sentry at ths gate had time to herald me as an apos tate from the "penitentiary.

White' folks will cheat and deceive and over reach, but they rarely cross the dead-line : nevertheless there are hundreds just as guilty be fore God as these convicts. r Gov. Brown and his associ ates have seventeen thousand acres in this coal region. The plant to mine it has cos an im mense sum. There is a broad gauage railroad six miles long from Shellmound to the base ot the mountain, and about threb miles more of narrow guage from the base to the top. This last ascends by zigzag inclines, and the engine moes, forward on one and backs the train on another, and so alternates until the top is reached and you find yourself six hundred feet high er than when you began the ascent. It is a perilous busi- 3, for it curvas round cliffs and precipices and on narrow edges, and somebody is going to take the perpendicular short- line, some of these days. I sat on the neir side of the car next the mountain and was ready to jump all the time, but I didn't tell anybody. There has nev er been an accident on this line, and this proves the skill of Maj. Wells as an engineer. It is a wonderful piece of work, and he deserves a monument whether he gets it or not. In going from Shellmound to the mines, you pass Nickajack Cave, with its wide stone-arch ed mouth gaping open to re ceive you, and near by the en trance to this wonderful cavern is the point where three States meet, and you can hold up one foot and plant the other upon the soil of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. A preacher told me that this cave took its name from an Indian named Jack, and he was of such dark complexion they called him Nigger -Jack. He sold the cave to DeSoto for a blanket and a string of beads that's what the preacher said. Bill Aki-. A HISTORY -:o:- OF THE L IFE AND TIMES OF OLIVER HART DOCKERY. What Lawyer Dochery, the Hero of Radicalism, Has Done. 11 is Continued Ofliee Seeling I'ro iiensitiea Keen Him off the M . Farm lie Loves ? so Well. It is well, now and then at least, to trace the careers of men who have attained emi nence, good or bad, that ambi tious youth may learn there from how to reach fame on the one hand or avoid shame ou the other. Imbued with this patriotic purpose, we give a brief sketch of the principal events in the life of a man whose name is now upon every oue's lips. That man is OLIVER HART DOCKERY. else for a time, recruiting from his wounds, as it were, in a sort of chysalis state, that is to say, in the intermediate stage between the old fashioned white grub worm and the modern colored Radical butter fly. But by 18G8, just aboat the time Federal bayonets convert ed negroes into voters, our hero bloomed out as a full-grown Ptadical, ipr he then saw his way clea before him. The truth is, there is no man iri America wno can put negroes, not excluding even the wench es, to more uaeiul purposes than our hero, for he is as good a judge to-day of the value of a negro, whether a smrt buck or a likely wench, as any other trader ever was before the war. It the negro be a buck, he has a vote ; if a wench, she is good to point a slander with, and of both he has need upon occasion. But it must not be supposed the money expended by our hero s father on his legal edu cation was money thrown away. Our hero was a lawyer of the old school or he was not a law- gressional efforts of our hero during his thre years' service at Washington of course, we mean outside of drawing his pay, which, if we mistake not, was somewhere near Si5,0". In 1882 our hero, proposed- to resume business an a statesman, but Colonel Bennet having got ten in his way, he concluded to remain at home. And now having once more wearied of the delights of rural life, iu Fpite of its many at tractions, he proposes . to . come to Raleigh and be our Gov ernor, and naturally enough, perhaps, foi farming with 'free niggers,' who are also voters, is neither pleasant nor profitable to a man accustomed to 'plant ing' with slaves and bull whips, one too, who is a supplicant for their votes and who lias the further disadvantage of know intr notliing a.bont tilling thy sril.

An Austin colored man, with protruding eyes, rushed into Jusice Tegeher's office and ex claimed: 'I wants Colonel Jones, who libs nex' door to me, put under a million dollars bond ter keep toil, no poor bockra of any sort, but a son of a leading politician, a rich man's son, with the means as well a3 the inclination to gratify his every whim. Born with a silver spoon in his month, as the saying is and clothed in purple and fine linen, he began his earthly ex istence about the year 182G in the county in which he now lives. Surrounded by every comfort and luxury that wealth could command, with slaves to do his every bidding, he grew apace. In time, like other rich men's sons, he went to school and learned a little Latin and less Greek. In 1846 he went to Chapel Hill ; what his career was there tradition doth not tell. Suffice it to say, however that he" graduated in 1848 by the skin of his teeth, or the toughness of his cheek, or. in some other way, and proceeded to study law under that good man, Judge Battle. Of his ca reer at the bar that treacherous jade, tradition, again fails to say anything. With his great voice and his unlimited cheek he ought to have succeeded, but there is no evidence that he did. And then he became a 'plants er.' They were planters, not farmers, in those days, and, in deed, planting was not such a bad thing with a lot of neg roes, wenches included, and a pushing overseer to drive them. The science of planting was mainly in picking out the over seer, and it may be that our hero, with the help of his fath er, was successful in that. Tra dition, however, still treacher ous, throws no light on the situation.

Judge. tinguished himself there by his efforts to compel free neg roes to leave the State or be come slaves. And then the war came on. Now, though a valiant man, our hero was not eager for the fray. He feared from the beginning he would lose his 'niggers,' and he was fond of negroes then as he is now, but with this differ ence, note : .as slaves then, as voters now. But emancipation and the surrender were a long way off at the beginning of the war, and our hero, with a com pany of his young friends and neighbors, bacame a part of the 33th Regiment of North Caro lina Troops, and a very fine regiment it was, especially aft er our hero left it. Had not cir cumstances compelled him to leave the service just before the . fighting began, the war might possibly have ended dif ferently. Possibly Meade and Grant would have suffered the fate ot McCIellan, HooKer and Burnside, and Appomattox be still unknown. But however that may be, our hero's com mission as captain in the Con federate army bore date 3fth October, 18G1, and then, at single leap, per saltum, he went to the lieutenant colonelcy of the regiment on the 17th Jan., 1862 ; and there he stayed un til the spring was well ad vanced and the fightine about to, begin in earnest, when he failed to be re-elected as was required. Leaving his young friends and neighbors to stop Yankee bullets, he once more hied him home to the shades of private life and the protection, we presume, of 'the twenty nigger clause.' And, just here, we pause in admiration of the many uses to which negroes, in cluding wenches, can be put. Under the Confederate law, twanty-negroes' would, keep even an ex-lieutenant colonel out of the war. No wonder some people love negroes so well, for gratitude still lives. We hear no more of our hero as a military man until the Holden-Kirk war, when he was commissioned as a brigadier general. He did not reach the field even in this war, how ever. Its duration was short. It will be seen, therefore, that circumstances which our hero could not, or at least did not, control came between him and success as a military man, just as tney ma in his other efforts. After the war, our hero rested upon his laurels or something His strict adherence, however, to a maxim of the old school law books fortify us in the be lief that he was a lawyer 'of that ilk.' ; Throughout his en tire career, when our hero could not get exactly what ho wanted he . has taken the next best thing to it he could get. This doctrine was called iu the old books, if we recollect aright, the cy pres construction, or, as we would say in the common talk of the day, ths doctrine that half a loaf is better than no loaf. Accordingly, after the surrender came 'with all the words implied,' as Mrs. Tilton remarked about Mr. Beecher, and he fully realized that ne groes could no longer be work ed to advantage on plantations, his quick black eye straight way saw that the next best place to work them was at the polls, and there he has been working them for all they are worth ever since. This involves the loss of the wenches in part, but not altogether, for they are extremely useful in whooping the bucks up to the polls. Accordingly, in April, ?lSni by the help of the bucks and the wenches, and Canby s bay onets, he was 'elected,' so-call ed, to Congress for the then uu expired term, the 'votes' being counted in Charleston, South Carolina, it is an easy thing to be 'elected' when the negro bucks and wenches and Federal bayonets are on one side and disfranchised white people on the other and the returning board in Charleston. In Au gust ot the same year he was 'elected' for a full term of two years, in iact, our hero always did his best running with red- eral bayonets at his back. In 1870 he was not 'elected,' for hat year they were short of federal bayorfets and Col Waddell sat dowu upon him, and they do say there was scarcely a ,'grease spot' left of him. In JulyISTO, at iayette- ville, during the discussion there between Colonel Dockery and Colonel Waddell, then op posing candidates for Con gress in the Cape Tear District, while Waddell was speaking Colonel Dockery rose and, in terrupting him, said in his big- gest voice and. most bullying, browbeating manner : 'If the statement the trentleman has just made is ever repeated 1 shall reply to it with a mono syllable,' and thereupon resum ed his seat. It is said that had a pin fallen it would have been heard, so irreat was the silence that ensued. Everybody saw the crisis. What the result would' be no one could tell perhaps bloodshed, and no little of it. Waddell was slend er and youthful-looking and by no means a match physically for the burly Dockery, but he would have plenty of friends if he showed fight. Would he do it? The result will tell WTheu Dockery sat down Waddell rose and, addressing the crowd in his softest tones said, smiling as he did so 'Fellow-citizens, you have heard what' Colonel Dockery has just said, and you know what it means. It means that if I repeat what I have said he will denounce it as a lie, and you know what that means Turning then to Colonel Dock ery, and approaching him until he could almost touch him, he repeated the statement word for word, and then as it were, shaking his finger in Dockery's very face, he said : 'And now, Colonel Dockery, what are you going to do about it ?' To the surprise of every one Colonel Dockery's reply was, still keep ing his seat, 'Oh ! pshaw, Wad dell, I don t want to have any personal difficulty with you.' And then such a shout of laughter and derision went up as made the very welkin ring. And no 'monosyllable' was ut tere'd and no blood was 3pilled. The trend of our hero's geni us, however, does not seem to be toward statesmanship. Two speeches that he got permission to print, and that be might have printed without permis sion, and not a word of which he delivered, constitute the sum total, so far as this bi ographer has seen, of the Con- are the best manure he can put on his. land, but in the case of our hero it is not true, as his plantation, it is said, is by loug odds the better for his absenc?. There is one crop, however, that he can beat all creation raising, aud that is grass; mak ing two blades grow where only one grew before is an easy thing to him in fact, a half dozen is his usual crop, they say, 1 ut the deuce of it is, he grows his grass along with his cotton and corn, and they do say thai is bad judgment. But our hero's desire to come to Baleigh is not only natural, as we have said, but it is only carrying out the doctrine that half loaf is better than no loaf. He tried to go to Wa.-hington, the National Capi': '. ami could not, and now he i.-. i. hit; to get to Ilaleigh, the State Capital, as the next best thing. Next year expect to hear he is trying to get to Kockmirham as mayor, his couutv town bein ' next in order to the cat-tal.
