Hiding past a wayside groggery down on Sandy Ridge the other day, I over heard that popular original soloist and maker of machine-rhymes and doggerel ditties, Dick lioteler, per forming on his ubiquitous banjo with vocal accompaniment, to the wondrous delectation of a small but very select crowd of liquor-swilling loafers iuside the diminutive temple of Bacchus. I reined my horse up to the rear .win dow, (which chanced to be the one nearest the road,) and listened just long enough to hear the opening vers es of his song : Did you ever hear tell of Old Gait, "Who to speak to a ghost wouldn't halt, That into Gait's omnibus popped, sir; Or rayther, got on his old "slide," Of a. big whia'iey barrel astride, And they say that O.

Between two and three miles from the aforesaid spiritual shanty is a long sandy stretch in the public highway, (the Salisbury and Wilkesboro mail route,) flanked in one side by the graveyard of 'nity Church, and on the other by a torest of gnarled and venerable oaks. The neighborhood chroniclers relate how Old Gait had been up the Wilkes road some miles late one evening at a still-house, wait ing for the manufacturer to finish him out a fresh barrel of the essence of rye for his groggery, which then stood ia the lower corner of Potneck and close to the confines of Sodom and Gomarrah on the Yadkin. He had been telling the biggest kind of tales, as usual, to the still-house loungers; for instance, that he had hogs at home bo enveloped in fat that be had to kick 'em and make 'em squal to find which end the head belonged to that his father was shot, at the battle of .King's Mountain, through the body, and they drew seven . silk handker chiefs through him to wipe out the bruised blood, and he got well and shot and killed fifteen Britishers in Jess than a month that when he was down to Camden with his wagon last winter the mud was very deep and powerful thick; and, seeing a hat ap parently lying in the road under him as he drove along, he stooped from his seat 'on his J saddle-horse to pick it up, wKan . nn nloeav lTinintln-i 1. L.J proved to be on Vie head of the driver of anotlier, team immediately . beneath him, and in a lower layer of mud from that which upheld him and his wagon and horses. Giles Connors, who was among the listeners, 'was heard to say, to he rede jgome time before Old .Gait Headyto start; Uhat, "he would make the old romancer see .It was near midnight when Gait came whistling , along the afore mentioned sandy stretch in the road, astride of his old horse' back, and dragging the whis key-barf u"poB his "elide'wbeitoufc .Btepped, Giles, wrapped in ; a white sheet, from behind one of the big oaks 'and took a seat on the barrel. ; Now, notwithstanding - Old J erry Gait was said .to baye,,. ransacked graveyards and. stolen corpses to sell to the doc tors to, anatomize, his heart failed him when he felt the additional draft on hia slide, "and, turning hia head, ; be held his ghostly passenger. The chron iclers asseverate in- the . most solemn manner, that' Gait tookiouo look at the apparition and no more that his whistling ceased and, he spake .not a word then resolutely turned his gaze in the direction of Potneck, and hur ried homeward, homeward homeward, breathlessly-, relentlessly, fie tier looking behind $im jpaju ?(pre 2 jlafe whack, whack, whack, whack, whack, whack, went his switch on the "hairy side" of that old horses for the balance of the five miles he had to travel. The cold perspiration from the rider ran down and mingled with the torrid sweat and fiery foam of the much-whipped-up steed, ; till they sprinkled the whole road from side to side like a watering cart; When within siht of Gait's groggery, Giles stepped off into the woods again. An 1 this was the spirit that sold tho seller of spirits. But this comical incident was soon succeeded by a tragical occurrence, it is said so less than the death of our romancing hero. I cannot vouch for what I shall now tell you I give it only cs a curious specimen of darkey superstition. He incurred the ever lasting and horrified disgust, not to say hatred, of the darkies, by pur chasing from Joe, the condemned fel on and slave of Theophilus Trimble, Esq., the right to Joe's dead b-xly af ter the hanging, fjr which he is said to have paid Joe one gallon of whis key and a basket of gingereakes. As soon as Joe's body was let down, Gait claimed it, lashed it to his "slide," and started for the house of a doctor "way down about Camden," who wanted it and would pay him for it. Perhaps 1 could not bettor describe the dreadful scene, which tho colored folk all thoroughly believe occurred on this, Gait's last trip toward Cam den, than by trying to report an old plantation darkey s version of it.

Ho Writes the Sentinel an Interesting Account of his Adopted Home. Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. Wichita Falls, Tex., Oct. 6. Your valuable paper has my promise ot a letter about Texas and I desire to tell your readers something about the town in which I have cast my lot. Wichita Falls is at tho terminus of the Fort Worth and Dennes City Railroad and is situated on the East bank of the Big Wichita River and twelve miles South of the Indian Ter ritory. Our thriving little town is on ly two years old but has a population of over nineteen hundred and every train brings in new faces. , We are now buildinjr a thirtv-five thousand dollar court-house of stone and brick, and will soon follow suit with a twenty thousand dollar jail. Many costly business houses were com pleted during the summer. . Last Friday and Saturday was the anniversary of the Falls and it was a grand success. Tvo brass bands, one from Dallas and one from Henrietta, entertained the assembled crowds There were about four hundred Co manche Indians on the erounds be sides about three thousend people, who came from nearly everywhere to see the beautiful young city of Wichita l?alls. . Friday wa3 the horse races betweea the whites and Indians, the red man's horse gaming the victory, time, 2:13 Saturday was the anniversary day. Governor John Ireland delivered a long lease law speech which caused a few leasa law men to cheer him, but the cheers were few and far between. He was followed by. Hon. Temple Houston, the candidate for the State Senate, who was cheered by nearly very-iody because he was a free grass jnan. Mr. Houston "delivered an ex cellent speech and was followed bv T- x i- . jjr. rjewis, "is opponent. ! ;The Indians had a grand war dance on Saturday night. They built them a huge log fire to dance by. ..They danced for three hours, ' after which they had a sham battle, and alUwho witnessed it said it was one of the most exciting scenes they ever witnessed and just about the time the sham bat tie got under good head way. there came up a heavy cloud which poured 'out the rain in torrents, drenching the 'three thousand spectators, while the Indians continued their sport and seemed to enjoy it all the mors on ac count of the shower. . . J. H. SlIAMEL. FORSYTH' COUNTY. DESCRIPTION OK ITS S1TC ATION-- KEV1SWS OF ITS IXDUST1UKS. Tho Significance of tlia Most Exp client Display Made of its liesoarces at the Exposition. From the Raleigh Chronicle. Forsvth county is situated in the north-western part of the State on the eastern bank of the Yadkin river. It was formerly included in the county of Rowan, which in Colonial days,. comprised the extensive possessions ot bohn, Lord uranville, grandson ot Sir George Carteret, one of the eight original proprietors of North Carolina. Seven-eights ot tins proprietary we re ceded back to the crown in 1729, in consideration of the payment of 2,500 pounds, to each of the proprietors. Lord Granville, however, still retain ed possession of the remaining eighth, the boundaries of which extended from the Virginia border on parallel o( de grees south to a line in latitude 35 de grees, o4 minutes, and irom the At lantic to the Facifio. Since the war of Independence, this enormous tract has been divided, and sub divided, in to various counties. Forsyth was' formed from Stokes county in 1848, and named after Col. Benjamin For syth, who served in the revolution and was killed iii a skirmish in Canada, in 1314. This county is conspicuous for containing within its limits, the tract of land known as "Wachovia" granted to the "Unitas F rata m" or United Brethren of the Moravian church, by Lord Grauvillo, August 7, 1753, arid thus named because of the supposed resemblance to a valley of that name in Austria, in the possession of Count Zinzindorf, the great Patron of the Brotherhood. In 1849 fifty-one acres of the Wachovia tract, were sold to the newly formed county, for $".00 per acre, upon which the plan for the county town was laid oat and the court-house and jail erected, under the supervision of the late Francis Fries. The town was called Winston in honor of Col. Joseph Winston, who represented this section of the State in tho Patriots' meeting of 1775 '8, and who was also one of a commission ap pointed to treat with the Indians, by which all their lands in the States of North Carolina, Tennessee and Vir ginia, were ceded to those States. Forsyth is hilly and undulating, well watered with broad expansesof meadow and bottom land situated along the margin of the numerous streams and creeks, which are thickly intersjiersed over the whole county. Many of those streams afford fine water power for various manufacturing purposes. The prevailing soil is red clay in the up lands; and dark loam with clay sub soil in the lowlands, however a great diversity of soil predominates through out the county. Many of the springs are strongly impregnated with miner al, that at Salem being much resorted to by those who visit the place, and is said to possess fine medicinal proper ties. Situated 1000 feet above the sea, our climate is dry and temperate, in dicating usually about 65 degress Farenheit in Summer and 40 in win ter. The extremes of heat and cold which prevailed here fifty years ago, are now rarely felt. Climatically there is perhaps no country more pleasantly and salubriously situated. Though nature has lavished upon this county the extremes of her munifi cence, she has rarely combined in a more pleasing and, healthful manner the substantial and luxuries of . soil and climate. . . ' . . TOBACCO is the staple produce of agriculture, as well as manufacture. Very little was grown however, prior to " 1870 and none at all earlier than 1858, beyond a few small patches for home con sumption. In 1858 three farmers, Guthrie, Marshall and Kerby, by name, from Halifax county, Va., re moved to this county, and being ex perienced growers of tobacco, their example and success stimulated others, until in 1860 the marketed crop sum med up 6a,IbZ pounds. It soon be came evident that, with intelligent cultivation, and handling, the lands of this county were capable of produc ing the finest "grades of yellow leaf chewing tobacco,' not inferior to that grown in the . famous "leatherwood" district of Henry county, Va. In 1875 the yield had reached 1,500,000 lbs., and to-day borders closely on 4,000, 000. The yield on newly -cleared lands, is from 500 to 650 lbs., and on old lands when fertilized and careful ly prepared, a much larger crop is often gathered. ! ' "WHEAT ? . grows finely on all lands that are well drained, and . prepared, and yields handsome profits. Corn and oats pro duce fine crops, when grown" in the meadow lands.. Rye is also 'grown to some extent. . Potatoes of both varie ties and other roots grow in almost any location.. Such grasses as orchard grass,, red top, timothy and clover grow well on "all the meadow lands, and many of thes3 bottoms produce fine crops of indigenous grasses, well suited for hay and grazing. Hunga rian millett is also grown' by many farmers, and when mixed with other grasses, makes fine feed for stockr Fruits, vegetables,: aod melons, grow in the greatest profusion, and of al most every variety, " The dried fruits of this section of the State, enjoy the reputation of the highest quotations in the New York market. In 1817 this entrv ap?3ar in the record of the Moravian church at Salem : FRUIT. "Great abundance of apples and peaches." Short and laconic, it may be, but it establishes the fact, that old as the land may be, fruit has been in abundance. The soil, climate and. situation of this county, are peculiar ly adapted to the growth of the vine, which yields in the most luxuriant manner, wherever the least attention' is paid to it. There are, perhaps, cir cumstances under which a finer table grape might be raised- but for grow ing a wine-producing grape, this part of the State has no superior, and but few equals. As early S 1761 this record appears in the archives of the church in Salem. "Great abundance of wild grapes, nineteen hogsheads of wine were made in the three settle ments," and the vineyardest need nev er hesitate to be guided in his selec tion of a suitable location by the un erring instinct of nature. The Con cord and Scuppernong are the mosc popular varieties, simply because they will grow with the least attention, oth ers could be grown ; with the greatest ease. Sorghum of the Chinese, Hon duras and Amber varieties grows fine ly, and is manufactured into syrups of a bright, lively color and pleasant taste. The machinery used is very crude, and there is no reason why an excellent quality of'marketable syrup, and a good grade of sugar could not be made from these canes, by using improved machinery, and subjecting them to the most approved dessicating and granulating process. Broom corn of long staple and excellent quality is raised on many of the bottom lauds, and the manufacture of brooms was formerly an industry fn many of the smaller towns. THH RAILROADS' AID. Prior to the completion of the N. W. N. C. R. R., to this point but lit tle attention was paid to agriculture, beyond the production of sufficiency for home consumption, owing to the inaccessibility to market and to the fact that no Bpecial commercial inter est centered here. Upon the opening of this read, and the establishment of the first tobacco warehouse in 1872 by Major T. J. Brown, a new era sceincd to dawn upon the , country, men be came aware of their own resources, aud an air of thrift and enterprise seemed to infuse itself into the whole atmosphere. Before giving a full de scription of this absorbing industry, which in its rapid and extensive growth has surpassed the prognostica tions of the most sanguine, we will in deference to antiquity, return and trace through the dim pages of our early history, the progress of other manufactures, and give an outline of causes and events, which are-to this day recognized as moving exponents in the energetic and enterprising spir it, which renders this conspicuous among the counties of the State. (To be Continued.) DR. WHEELER AT OXFORD. Sir. Cozart Asked to Retire From the Executive Committee. From lite Oxford Torchlight. We said in our last issue that Wheeler and Mott had crossed lances in Granvill. The deciding battle was fought here on Monday, the 29th of September. Wheeler came down and commanded his forces in person. Mott deserted in th5 time of need and did not get here. ' The -result was that Wheeler carried ; things as he wished Mott's forces were . entirely routed. Mr. Cozart's power aa a leader failed him. The Executive Committee, of which Mr. Cozart is chairman, met here on that day in - pursuance of a call ' over his own name. Here Mr. Cozart made a slip as a leader of a great faction. lie knew that he was not the nominee of that committee, and what! supixrt did he expect from it? Mr. Cozart has a very important lesson, to learn, viz, that everybody is not for him. bo Mr. Cozart was induced to call togeth er, the committee that was to send the dagger to his own heart. He .seemed to think, that committee could do nothing but endorse him the chief and main lactor ot the Republican., party of this countys Here is the way they endorse him : Whereas, Mr. B. II. Cozart has pre sided as chairman in a public meeting outside ot the organization of the Re publican party; and whereas he has failed to decline or has accepted the nomination offered him as candidate for the next House of Representatives by such meeting, thereiore : Resolved, that we, the Executive Committee of the Republican party of Vjranville county respecttully request Mr. i. it.Uozart to resign as chair man of our, committee. ; --" -' 1 . What' must have'been Mr. Cozart's surprise when he foudi out that the Executive Committee of which he was the head was against him' Like Ca sar. he fought manfuljy until lie found that jhis own cornnjitt.ee -was against him, and then crying in Caesar's words, et tu Brute, he stepped down and OUt.' "" '. ';: V''"' ." '' We guess that Mr J Cozart sees now the plot that was fixed for him.; The resolution which was his death "sen tence was believetMrawn up before that committee met, and cer tainly it was drawn by some one else than one of its members. , There was one unseen power at work some where, which Mr. Cozart says is corrupting tue Republican party in this county, and to which He does not' intend to submit.. CHAT FROM THE CAPITAL' Mli. SECRETARY CHANDLER AND THE BARBER. The International 3Ieridian Congress eneral and Sirs. Liossm -Senator llaivley -John Henry Boner. Poli ties aud Politicians. Personals. ' Staff Correspondence of the Sentinel. Washington, D. C, Oct. 12. I wps in the drawing room of a distin guished admiral of the U. S. Navy Jris$ week whenathe Secretary .of the Navy was under discussion. Among other characteristics ol the honorable Secretary dilated upon during the evening, the following incident was related as exemplifying his snobbish ness, by a gentleman who was in a po sition to be absolutely sure of the cor rectness of the facts. A young man from one of the over crowded northern cities came to Washington to stand the civil service examination. He was well educated and of a very gentle manly bearing. He stood the desired examination and obtained the highest mark of any of the room full of appli cants for Government positions. In due course of time, there was a vacan cy in the Navy Department. This young man's name was sent to the Secretary for the vacant clerkship by the Civil Service Commissioner. It is necessary, in filing an application before the Commission, for the appli cant to state in writing all the posi tions he has filled since the age of eighteen years. This young man had, it seems, served as a ..barber at one period in his life when nothing better could be fouud - for him to do. He honestly stated this ou his application papers and Secretary Chandler saw it. The Stcfetary immediately refused give the young man the appoint ment simply because he did "not want a barber to be a clerk in the Navy Department!" In the face of the most perfect examination, and proof!? of his competency, the young fellow was so mortified at the Secretary's reason for refusing him, he disappeared from the city and has not been heard from since. Under the Civil Service Rules he had a perfect right to press liis claims to the position but lacked the courage to do sd. Secretary Chand ler has given other evidences of an ut ter disregard for the rights of his sub ordinates, but I have forborne to men tion them. This instance is, however, too conspicuous to be ignored, and ought to be reproduced in every Dem ocratic paper during this campaign, in which the rights of the working men play such a prominent part. An International Congress to deter mine a universal meridian from which to reckon longitude met in the citj' at the Stato Department last week. About twenty-live foreign powers are repre sented and a number of scientists have attended the sessions of the body. They have reached no conclusion as yet, though the Greehwich meridian is the choice of all the delegates, in cluding the American, excepting the French delegation. These gentlemen, headed by M. Jansen, insist obstinate ly on what they term a "neutral me ridian." The proceedings of the learn ed body are written and spoken in two languages, Finghsh and t rench. They are also published in these two languages. Gen. and Mrs. Logan have rented for the winter an elegant house on Iowa circle. The lower floor consists of a wide old fashioned hall, two ele gant parlors and a large library which will be Senator Logan's private office. The back parlor and library open in to one of the handsomest conservato ries in Washington. Gen. Logan's mother, it is not generally known, was Miss-Elizabeth Jankinaof. Granville county, North Carolina." When Mis3 Jenkins was a young lady, her broth er, "A. M. Jenkins, Esq., who 'had moved to Illinois,. wa3 elected Lieut. . Goveruor of that State. Here she met Dr. Logan, the father of the can didate for the Vice-Presidency, and married him. John Alexander Logan was given the name of the founder of his mother's family in North Carolina, and Gen. Logan ..speaks very kindly of his mother's State, and has often expressed a desire to meet his kins men, who bear her namo. Your an tiquarian readers will remember that LieuL- Col. John Alexander Jenkins, was the legal representative of the' Earl of Craven as one of the Lord's Proprietors of the Province of Caroli na and in 1680 was appointed Gover nor of tho Province by the English King. Senator Hawley, who is by birth a "Tarheel" was in Washington Satur day, and was very much pleased wilh his reception by his native State. He says he is proud of her wonderful'de velopracnt, and progress since the war. Johii Henry Boner, of your sister city of Salem is taking a. .very high rant here as a poet. - iiis, latest, is an exquisite gem c-f verse which has been put to music by Lillebridge, and pub lished. It is -worth buying, and all the Winston-Salem girls ought to sing Thrre is a triumphant air at both the Democratic and Republican head-: quarters in this city. Each Secretary swears his side will win, . Republican politicians are jubilant and show fiiT-- ures that"appioximate the majority" of liiaine and Liogan. lhc Uemocrats do the same thing, and nobody can guess which is right. - It is the most peculiar and the most uncertain cam paign, this country has ever known. Mrs. Senator Vance5 cama eailjr n the season to enter her younj' son, Harry Martin into Georgetown Col lege. She returned to North Carolina to attend the Exposition. While in Raleigh, she will bo tha guest of Mrs. R. II. Battle. Miss Caroline Pcttigrcw and Miss KLato Hamilton have received appoint ments u'n.'er the Civil Service Rules in. the Treasury Department. Col. Taos. Ivoorh is in the city. Dr. Wheeler, of Winston, is often in Washingtpn, where he has : many friends. t It comes from a. pretty reliable source that President. Arthur is- to marry Miss Matilda Frelinghuysen, oldest daughter of Secretary Freling huysen, before the social season opens. I hope it is true, Miss Frelinghuyssu is a very elegant lady and would pre side over the White House with grace and u 'uity. GnANVILLE. COriAII PAT AT CHARLOTTE. From the Charlotte Observer. Mr. Patrick II. Winslow was billed to deliver a speech in th's'cftjj'Vester- day, at the court-house,4 ,jO'45cmo at noon. Unfortunately,' "however, there was at that hour a patent medi cine vender with a banjo picker in the street, aud in consequence, there was no audience for Mr. Winslow to speak to, though he waited calmly. Gordon went among the crowd and succeeded in getting a dozen or s to go into the court-house, .but it was not until mayor Maxwell was' found and ap pealed to that an audience was secur ed. The mayor made the medicine man move oft, when some of the dar kies followed him and the others went up to hear the speaking. Mr. Wins low spoke for abj.it two hours, discuss ing the various political issues from his standpoint. He declared himself a Republican and a member of the Republican ranks. There were more darkies on the streets than there were in the court-house. Outside of his "escort" and two or three curiosity-led Democrats, his whole audience was colored, and it was a slim crowd at that. It was undoubtedly a flat re ception for Mr. Winslow.
