Mr. Yates, Charlotte Democrat & Dear Sir I learned from Mr. Oarpen ter, of the Newbemian, that you propos eu to pay us a visit as soon a the Cotton Mill goes into operation.

At my siiffgestioli lie Wrote tiie inclosed letter. You can make such use of it as you see lit. ' One of the great sources of profit to Cotton Mills hvrealter U the oil aud soap business. Every Aim lit the south will have an oil press and soap works. Think of this: There are four millions of hales of cotton raised annually -1,000.000 bales of 400 pounds each, making 1,- 600,000,000 pounds. From this there are 3 200.0C0.000 pounds of cf.tton seed. Every tot. of seed will make 32 gallons of oil and 700 pounds ot oil cake Tint cake contains more nutriment than is contained in So,0o0,00u bushels of corn.' Just think ot it! that an equivalent of 50,000,000 bushels of com is lost to the South aniiually. How soon we can stop Western meat from being imported as soon as this immense amount of food is utilized. The refuse oil is made into soap, being another great source ot revenue. 'Ask any intelligent person the amount teeoessary to start a Cotton Factory, and tntf reply is almost invariably 40 to 50,. 0$e dollars, whereas it does not take httle over one thi'-d that amount. .-Truly, yours, u. uijveb.

The father of the "gude wife" of Our townsman Rev. Dr. Chapman, was Mr. Moore, who, some years ago, (we are afraid to say how long ago) ed ited the Aewbern Spectator, a strong Whig paper. Mr Moure wrote poetry aluio.sC as rapidly as he talked prose rhyme, he ealled It protesting it was not " worthy to be called poetry," even when the scintillations of genius and talent flashed iu almost every line. During his editorship, the following lines went the " rounds ' ot the papers WOMAN. Not she with traifrou hiss her Savior stung ; Not she betrayed biiu with unholy tongue : Hhe.wlitle Apostle aiiiank, could dangers brave, iasl at me jioaa, anu earuesi; at too grave. Says Mrs. Chapman: "Thee lines my fattier admired and read aloud to ns, with commendations, when they first met his eye ; but when they appeared again and again in many exchanges, he luugliiiigiy remarked, 'this Is a one sided business. I must see that the oth er side has justice.' The next week's Spectator contained the foregoing, to which was subjoined : MAN. Not he. with curloua damulne wish to m-v. Jftrst' breKe God's law, aud caused our Lord to me ; Not he in Eden first took Satan's bait, When Eve seduced him, henpecked Adam ate,' and these lines were quite as widely circuHted as had been the lines which evoked it. On one occasion a young friend of my girl-hood, about leaving town, call ed at our door in her carriage with a spick aud span new album, in which she insisted on haviusr something, if only a few lines, from my father's pen. vv iui his toot on the step ot the carri age, and the book on his knee, he scrib bled, in pencil, the following, a copy of which the young lady afterwards sent Rie : An Iaisa Afoloot for hot Wamxo in Miss JT.

Oh, this ugly, this awful, this mean, slushy ground I The New Methodist Conference NiME. Rev. Dr. Kennedy. Presiding Elder of this District, in a recent letter to the lloluton Mdltod st. suggests a most suitable name for the new Conference proposed to be made by a division of the North Carolina and Holstou Con tereines. Says Dr. K., and we heartily agree with him : As conferences are often named for some leading river, or noted mountain, or prominei.t town or citv within its bounds, so it may be done in this case. We want a short name, a pretty name, a significant name which readily identi ties the territory embraced in it. The writer lias "no axe to grind " for himself or others in this matter. In cold blood, and hu biased by education or religion, lie puts in nomination the nameAsheville. Reasons: It is short and euphonious. It Is geographically near the center of the pioposed new conference. It Is and will be the chief commercial center of Western North Carolina. It will also be a prominent Railroad center. Though not so populous as Saulsbury and Charlotte, it may become more so upon the completion of its railroads. At all events, it is destined to be one of the largest and most haudsone towns in North Carolina. Again, Ashevilie has a reputation world-wide for salubrity of climate and beauty and grandeur of tfurroending health twekera from ull parts of the Uni ted States. Western North Carolina Conference, the name suggested at once to all, Is too long and cumbersome, iiesiaes, we al ready have a North Carolina Confer ence, bearing the name of the State. And that suffices. Let it. be named Ashevilie. , Commissioners' COubt. Our board held their regular monthly meeting on the 7th, Mr. Chairman Rankin, and Messrs.
