Now, therefore, b? it l:,-lred, By the Seymour and Kair Club of f'harlotte, That we denounce the said charge as tavj und monstrous beyond anything known in the history of infamy. That it is a disgrace to v iviiiz ition, an outrage upon the common decen-ei.- of life, a nlamler so foul, compreheiisivo and unblushing that it shocks the moral fcenso of cvi-ry decent man, white or Llack, wherever it inav be known. 7-'-.-n'o'd, '2d.

John Quiney Adams, of Massaelnisetts, jiassed here yesterday en route South. He was met at tho depot by citizens of both races, v.ho turned out en masse. After music by the band which accom panied them, a speech was solicited. Mr. Adams addressed the assemblage from tho portico cf tho Edwards House. He was introduced to the crowd by Colonel J. I. Seals. Mr. Adams expressed the warmest thanks for tho demonstration. He was surprised at being met by so many per sons. He thought his visit to the Sooth was unknown. He came South only to say one word to the people that word was in kindness, conciliation, and frater nal affection. He was no politican, but was a firm sup porter of the constitution, and as such should Yolo for Seymour and Blair. Ho came in a spirit of fraternal kindness to all classes of citizens. The color of the skin made no difference, to him, nor never had. It was charged at the North that the demo cratic party in the South would re-enslave the negro. If ho believe so atrocious an outrage was contemplated, he would turn his back upon the South, and ero homo and take the other side. Tho North would never permit it. Cries of "Nor the South. either. " Ho branded it as a lie an atro cious lie. He had learned more of the Southern people and their feelings and sentiments the last two days than he could have learned ia a lifetime in Massachu setts. Ho was astonished at the condi tion of tho Southern people and their wasted, neglected fields. If the North could feo it as he had done, all our trials would be at an end. He was pleased to know that amicable relations existed be tween the whites and blacks, and that there was nu animosity among the whites, lie spoko for tho encouragement of all, and expressed tho conviction that the constitutional party, headed by Seymour and Blair, would triumph. Ho retired amidst shouts of applause. Bold axi SuccESsrrii Highway Robbe r.Y neai: Taiiboko'. On Monday evening last, wliilo two ladies a mother and her daughter were proceeding from Tarboro' to their home in Edgecombe county, a trunk was stolen from the hinder part of the carriage containing about six hundred dollars in specie, a considerable sum in greenbacks and a largo portion of the best wardrobe belonging to the two ladies. Two negroes have been arrested on suspi cion of being the perpetrators of this rob bery. The trunk was found in the woods near by whero first missed, completely rifled oi its contents. The Vote of Edgecombe County. At the last election tho vote in this county on (ho Constitution was as follows: 2,310 for, 1,158 ngainst. Majority for, 1,182. Of tho registered voters there were CS0 who did not vote f.t the last election, a large; proportion of whom will vote in No vember for Seymour and Blair. According to tho best calculation there were at least 200 disfranchised from voting at the last election, i)-10ths of whom will in November vote the Democratic ticket. Taking these facts into consideration to gether with tho knowledge that at least 200 colored men will vote for Seymour and Blair, we have a reduction of more than 50 per cent, in the Radical vote, which will place their boasted majority of 1,158 con siderably under 500. But the Democracy of Edgecombe should not bo content with even this favora ble exhibit of their strength. Let them resolve that no efforts shall be left untried, and wrho can tell that in November next Edgeombo shall not once again rank in the list of Democratic counties. Stranger political revolutions than even this have taken place ! Tarborongh Southerner. Flag Raking at Ivittkele's.

Tho location of the lino of this road was last week finished under the su perintendence of Gen. Lewis to within one mile of Tarborongh, in accordance with instructions given at the last meeting of Stockholders, Since then two preliminary surveys have been made from that point to the Depot of tho Branch Road, for the pnr poso of ascertaining tho probable cost of each. Tho report of these surveys, with the estimated cost of each line, will be submit ted to tho next meeting of the Stockhold ers, who will then decide upon the ultimate location at this end of the Road. The Stockholders were to have met in Williamson on yesterday, but we learn the meeting was postponed in order to give more time for consultation with the Presi dent and Directors of tho Wilmington and Weld on Railroad.

A colored man named James Neil died suddenly, at the foot Of George street, yesterday. He has been consumptive for a number of years, and while engaged at work at the shipyard, a hemorrhage took place, tho blood gush ing from eyes, nose, mouth and ears in a perfect stream. He did not live above ten minutes. New Berne Journal cf Commerce. We recently saw at Luaiberton the wine presses and fixtures worked by Mr. J. T. Petteway, of that place. He has entered largely into wine-making and expects to put up 100 or 200 barrels. He has good and careful managers, and all the necessa ry ingredients, appliances, presses, crush ing mills and fixtures. He buys hundreds of bushels of Scuppernong, English, Ca tawba, Isabella, Muscadine, and common wild grapes and large quantities of all these are grown throughout Robeson county. Ho keeps up a market for grapes, and peo ple all over the country haul largo quanti ties to him. Mr. Petteway does a largo turpentine and mercantile business through out Robeson, and ho has been a benefactor to many hundred people of the county by furnishing them employment and means. The firm of Petteway & Moore do a large Grocery and Commission business in Wil mington. They have aided to our certain knowledge, many farmers by liberal ad vances and supplies which are yet unpaid. We could mention a fccore of men with families and without means, who get lucra tive employment from Petteway & Moore whenever requested. They are matter-of-fact practical and accommodating business men. They keep always a large and va ried stock of everything in the mercantile line. They buy, ship or sell anything saleable or marketable. Mr. Petteway gives his immediate attention to the busi ness in Robeson, while Mr. Moore carries on tho business in Wilmington.

From the Baltimore fcun October 6. The Kpitcopal Church in the United St&tta The Episcopal General Convention, which meets in New York to-day, is com posed of two hoases, one the House of Bishops, and the other the House of Cleri cal and Lay Deputies, who are elected by the State or Diocesan Church Conventions. These latter conventions meet annually, but the general convention only once in three years. Before tho American revolu tion, the clergy who ministered in the Episcopal congregations in the colonies, and who were principally sent out by the society in Europe for tho propagation of the gospel in foreign parts were under the superintendence of tho Bishop in London. The first step taken after the revolution for the independent organization of the church in the United States was at a meeting of a few of the clergy of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania in 1784. The first gen eral convention assembled in 1785 in Phil adelphia, with delegates from seven of the thirteen States. Measures were taken at this convention for a revisal of the English prayer book, to adapt it to the political changes which had recently taken place ; articles of union wero adopted and an ecclesiastical constitution framed, and step3 taken for.the obtaining of an episco pate direct from the Church of England. Dr. Seabury, of Connecticut, the first American who received the episcopate in that church, having been unsuccessful in hi3 application for consecration in Eng land, therefore resorted to Scotland, where he received consecration at the hands of Episcopal Bishops in tho Scottish Church in 1781. The political and ecclesiastical difficulties which prevented Dr. Seabury's consecration in England Laving been afterwards overcome by a correspon dence instituted by the convention with the English Bishops, Dr. Provoost, elected Bishop of New York, Dr. White, elected Bishop of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Madison, elected Bishop of Virginia, were afterwards consecrated at Lambeth, England, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and there being now three bishops of tho English succes sion, besides one of the Scotch, tho line of American consecration opened in 1702 with that of Dr. Claggett, bishop elect of Mary land. From that time the consecration of bishops has proceeded as the wants of the church have required, until now the church in each of the principal State has been constituted a diocese, some of tho States having two dioceses. At the meeting of the Genera! Convention, the senior bishop presides in the House of Bishops, and the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies is pre sided over by an officer chosen by it for that purpose. Among other matters of unusual interest which are to ba brought before the Gen eral Convention now, is a canon concerning marriages, which is expected to elicit a long and earnest controversy. Tho Church of England embodied years ago in a canon the provisions of the Levitical law, as set forth in the 18th chapter of tho book of Leviticus, which forbids Jews to intermarry with women " near of kin " to them, and specifically with a mother, a step-mother, a sister, a granddaughter, a half-sister, an aunt, an uncle's wife, a daughter-in-lawr, a brother's wife, a wife's mother, a wife's daughter, or a wife's granddaughter. The practice of the early Christian Church wps in conformity with tho Mosaic law, which applies only to men, but tho English Church canon applies to females as well as males, and extends the prohibited degrees so as to include cases of parallel nature wiih those expressly mentioned. 1 or instance, it begins by tho saying which is often quoted : "A man may not marry his grand mother," though the mother alone is spo ken of in Leviticus ; and it prohibits a man from marrying his deceased wife's sis ter a provision over which there has been no little dispute in England, and probably will bo in this country shortly. Except as its members are bound, as citi zens, to respect the civil laws of the States in which they reside, there are no regula tions in force in the Episcopal Church here on this subject. As these laws are thought to be more lax in some cases than is deemed consistent with scripture, the canon re ferred to, it is stated, is to be introduced to define clearly what marriages are and what are not prohibited, and thus furnish a guide for the conduct of members of that communion. The proposed cannon, it is said, like that of the English Church, will apply to both sexes, and absolutely forbid marriages between a man and his step mother, stepmother's daughter, mother's sister, father's sister, wife's mother, wife's daughter, wife's granddaughter, uncle's wife, brother's wife, son's wife. Also be tween a woman and her stepfather, step father's son, mother's brother, father's brother, husband's father, husband's son, husband's grandson, aunt's husband, hus band's brother, daughter's husband. And it will censure, as marriages which ought to be avoided, those between a man and his wife's sister, brother's daughter, sis ter's daughter, grandson's daughter, neph ew's wife, wife's brother's daughter, wife's sister s daughter. Also between a woman and her sister's husband, brother's son, sister's son, granddaughter's husband, niece's husband, husband's brother's son, husband's sister's son. Tho late Dr. Hugh Davey Evans of this city, who was considered high authority in matters of canon law in the Episcopal Church, had prepared the draft of a canon which was to have been submitted to the approaching convention, forbidding the clergy to officiate at any marriage whero either of the parties have been divorced, for any other cause than adultery, from a person still living. The necessity of any additional legislation upon the subject of marriage, especially to tho extent above indicated, is not, however, likely to com mand general concurrence, the subject be ing looked npon among the mass of Amer icans as largely resting with the civil au thorities apart from ecclesiastical legisla tion. Another and moro engrossing sub ject of discussion is likely to arise out of the issues involved in the Tyng trial, that clergyman being held, in preaching in an other parish without tho consent of tho rector thereof, to have violated the regu lations which gave to each minister tho ex clusive control of his own parish. There is also a party in favor of some changes in the prayer-book, but it is not believed that the questions at issue before the conven tion will lead, as seems to be supposed by some, to serious divisions in the church. New Yokk, October 7. The Triennial Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States met at Triui tv Church this morning. The doors were opened at 9 o'clock, and the service began at 10 o'clook. The bishops, to the num ber of forty-two, assembled in the robing room, and entered the chancel by the north door. A platform was laid to accommo date them. The clerical and lay delegates, numbering nearly one hundred and fifty, occupied pews reserved for them at the head of the nave. The house of clerical and lay delegates is composed of eight members from each State and Territory. LATEST XE1FS BY TELEGRAPH, j From Georglo n Or.-?cr frum ftancral i Pie ;.. ; Atlvnta, Gi, tu t 'j-T. M. i General Meade has issued the following Gen- ! eral Order, No. 27, which diatrilntea the forces under his command to points which he deems necessary to enforce the las and preserve order. The order says : Whereah, By an act of tho Congress of the United States, approved March 2d, lSt", it is made the duty of the military authorities to pre serve the peace at the polls at any election that may bo held in any of th9 States ; and hereas this duty baa become more imperative from the existing political excitement iu the pubiic mind from the recent organization of the civil govern ment and from tho fact that CongresB has, by statute, prohibited the orgsnizition of military forcea in the several States of this Department, it ia therefore ordered : Here follows the distribu tion ol troops and instructions to District Com manders. District Commanders will instruct the Post Commanders ia their duties and relative position of civil and military powers, and will impress on the Post Commanders that they are to act in aid and co-operation and iu subordination to the civil authorities ; that they are to exercise discretion and judgment, unbiased by political or other prejudices ; that their object ehou'd be ex clusively to preserve the peace and uphold law and order, and must bo satisfied that such is tho object of the civil officers in calling on them for aid and protection, and must in all caat-e, where time will permit, apply for instruction to superior authority, but they must at all hazards preserve the peace, and not be restrained by technical poiuts, when, iu their conscientious judgment, under the rules above sat forth, it. is their duty to act. Post Commanders, on being notified of pro posed political meetings to bo held, may eend an officer, and, if, necessary, a detachment to watch the proceedings and see that peace is preserved. To the people of the several States composing the Department the Major General Commanding appeals, that they will co-operate with him and the civil authorities in sustaining law and order and preserving the peace, and avoiding those eccnea of riot and bloodshed and wanton destruction of property and life, which have already, iu some instances, been enacted ia the j department, lie urges abstinence from all in flammatory and incendiary appeals to the pas sions ; discountenances tho keeping open of the liquor shops on days of political moetinga and of elections ; the abstaining from carrying arms and asserting tha individual right of construing laws by force of arms. No juot cause is ever advanced by a resort to violence. liet th'ire bo charity and forbearance among the political opponents. Whatever may be the result let each good citizen determine that all, who under tho law have a right to tho ballot, ehall exercise it undisturbed. If there are disputed points of law let tlicm ba rt-ferrod to the Courts and let not political chics or other irresponsible bodies construe and under take to executi tho law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope that tho Major General Com manding can rely on the good Benso and correct judgment of tho mass of the people, and that he will not be compelled to resort to the exerciso of the power with which ho ia intrusted, and which he will most reluctantly employ, but ho thinks it his daty to make it l.uowa that, eo far as tho power under Lis command will admit, ho will not permit the peace to bo brokeD, and that he will not bo restrained iu the conscientious dischargo of his duty by technicalities of laws made when the present anomalous condition of affairs wero neither anticipated or provided for. Tho Governor also issues the following procla tin n : Whereas, notwithstanding tho Executive pro clamation of September 14, 1SG8, many lawless acta have occurred in violation therof, wnereby the lives arid property of citizens have been de stroyed, tho right of free speech impaired, tho performance of dutiea ot offices to which citizens have been elected denied, tho lives of citizens eo threatened as to cause them to abandon their homes and property ; and whereas, tho protec tion of persons and property is a paramount duty of the government, and shall bo impartial and complete ; and wherea s, the sheriff of each county is, by law, charged with the preservation of life, property and peace in each county ; now, there fore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor and Commander-in-ohief of the army and navy of thoStato of Geor gia, and of the militia thereof, do hereby issue this my proclamation, charging and commanding said sheriffs, and each and every other civil offi cer in every county in this State, to see to it that the lives and property of all citizens, and the peace of the community are preserved, and that all persons are protected in free exercise of their civil and political rights and privileges, and charge upon every pereon resident of this State, that they render prompt and willing obedience to tho sheriff's and other civil officers under all cir cumstances whatsoever, and that they demand from said officers protection when threatened or disturbed in fperson or property, or tho denial of political or civil rights, and that failing to re ceive such protection, they report the facte to this department.

FHOIu WASHINGTON. TheltatioaHiDclitlocfeate-Uttcrot Hon. j llobt. J. Walker Change ,r Fioancifil ! Policy or National BankruitcyPt.Iii- j cal .eg Cauilllu. (Gem triAV Itim llxinri I Washington, October 7. Au extract from a letter dated Washington, October G, 18C8, from Hon. Bob?. J. Walker, late Secretary of the Treasury, to a friend in Philadelphia, is as follows": " In reply to your inquity I would say that the table of the public debt of tho "United States at the various periods referred to in the Na tional Intelligencer of yesterday morning is accur;;ie ia all i expects, having been taken from the books of the United States Treasury." "You ask me if it is a fact th.it the an nual exi)enditures of the government have been increased, as therein staUd. over forty-six millions of dollars (10,050,559) by an augmentation to that extent of the yearly interest in Currency of tho public debt since 30th April, 1805 ? I answer that it is an undisputable fact ; and I will add that from a careful consideration of the condition of the treasury, it is clear that this annual interest will go on increasing. It is possible that there may be a small re duction, if made, will be in debts bearing mainly no interest, or in war claims with held, whilst the debt bearing coin interest will be augmented. That there is an in creased yearly expenditure exceeding forty-six millions of dollars since April 30, 18G5, to meet the augmented interest as currency as tho public debt is certain. "This is the true test of our financial condition, and to me it seems nothing but a total change of policy will save U3 from national bankruptcy. This change of pol icy must be based upon a vast decrease of our annual expenditures. As recommend ed in my financial letter of November last, we must abolish the freedmen'3 bureau; we must recall the army from tho South and reduce it to a moderate peace establish ment ; wo must terminate thero the joint rule of the negro and tho bayonet, and slavery and secession having been forever abandoned, permit tho Southern States in obedience to the federal constitution, to govern themselves as beforo tho rebellion. "Tho fact of this vast increase of tho an nual interest of the publie debt is not a disputed question it rests on transcripts from tho book3 of the treasury, and can not bo denied. This item of expenditures for the increased annual interest of the public debt is nearly equal to double the entire yearly expenditures, of Mr. Polk's administration beforo tho Mexican war, and nearly equal to its subsequent annual ex penditures, including the war and heavy payments for tho principal and interest of tho public debt. "But even if wo take tho 30th of No vember last, the date of tho last annual re port of tho Secretary of tho Treasury, we find the increased annual interest in cur rency of the public debt $26,57-4,329 from tho 30th November last, 1S67, lo the 31st of August, 1SGS, being an augmentation at the rato of three millions of dollars a month or thirty-six millions of dollars a year. "At thi;i rato of increased annual ex penditure, for interest only on the 30th of November 18GD, a little over a yerr, this single item of yearly disbursements would reach seventy-two millions of dollars. It is clear, then, that tho radical policy leads rapidly and certainly to national bankrupt cy, and that nothing can save us but a change of men and measures. Gov. English was in this city to-day, and called upon tho President. Gov. English says the vote in Connecticut on Monday last, as understood in that State, is favora ble to tho democrats, and that Connecti cut will certainly give a largo majority for Seymour and Blair. A letter from the Republican State Com mittee of New York to Mr. Franklin, dep uty naval officer of New Yrcrk city, dated September 28th, 18G8, ha3 been sent to this city. The committee demand of the na val officer three thousand dollars to aid in conducting the campaign for the radicals. The report of the Camilla riot, based upon affidavits procured at the sugges tion of General Meade, has been received by the Secretary of War, and a copy will be- furnished tho President in a few days. The character of the report, swhether it sus tains or makes against the negroes, has not transpired. Data. Housing Cabbages. Now that the time is approaching to save cabbage for the winter, the following in structions, which we clip from an exchange, may be of value to some of our readers in the surrounding country : "Prepare'straight, slender poles (pine or other) three inches in diameter, of proper length, say eight feet : clear oil vour ground, and commence as though you were going to build a plain rail pen, three-cornered, using two poles instead of one, so as to make each siue or wall double, with a space of eight inches between the poles. At one corner an opening is left two and a half inches wide, for a door or entrance. To close and make secure, a cheap batten door may be made and hing ed to posts or jambs fastened to the wall of poles, after the fence is completed. The first tier or floor of poles having been arranged, put oa a row of cabbages, me roots occupying the space between the poles, and the heads turned in and pressed com pactly togothc.r. Cover the roots with fri able soil, and place on another tier of poles and cabbages, and continue filling up the space each time with soil until you have gained tho requisite height. A few poles rossthrown at the top and a heavy covering of pine tops, corn stalks or any litter that will furnish a secure covering, is all that is necessary to complete the house. Corn stalks, or some other protection, should be placed against the outside for fear of se vere freezes, &c. A trench should be dug around tho out side, and the dirt thrown against the corn stalks. They will serve to render the floor or inside dry. The cabbages thus housed will be very convenient of access in mid-winter, and will continue as fresh as if buried in the ground. All that is necessary fcis a knife, with which you sever as many heads as you want ?t a time, leaving the stalks to give you a supply of early colewort in tho spring.

The Age of Progress Modern Improve mentsThe Facilities for TravelThe Grape Culture in Switzerland Let North Carolina Heed and Increase her Pros perity. The following letter from a North Caro lina gentleman now traveling in Europe, has been handed us by a friend, with per mission to publish, as the note which ac companies it will show. We avail ourselves of this permission with pleasure, feeling assured that it will prove of much interest to our readers : Editors of the Journal: I have just received the enclosed letter from a friend now traveling in Europe, and as it contains sonic very encouraging descriptions of tha Grape culture, as well as the general improvements of the age, in ateam and railways, I tend it to you that you may, if you please, make extracts from it. Respectfully, Wilmington, Oct. 9th, lbcS. Maktingy, Switzekland, j September 20;h, 18C8. f My Dear Sir : It is just a month now (provided you at hom would get up as early as wo do heiv) ineo we parted. In that time I have mado shui t visits at Bal timore, New York, L ng Branch, Liver pool, Glasgow, Dunverncss Perth, Eden boro', York, London, Paris, Geneva and Vevey traveled nearly G,U0O miles, and have not really lost a night's re.-4. All this is due to modern improvements, and mainly to the "steam engine." We had a delightful trip across tho At lantic ; and hero let mo sav tho davs of 1 side-icltecl ocean steamers aro numbered. The "Rhine " (screw) burns 75 tons of coal a day ; the "Scotia" (stde-whell) burns 130 tons a day, and cannot beat the "Rhino " six hours iu crossing, the ocean in good weather, aud, wiih head winds she will bo beaten. We left tho dock at Jersey City at ono and a quarter P. M., on Wed nesday, and the second Saturday at oao o'clock P. M., we were at anchor in Liver pool. Take out five hours of difference of time, ana it woatf it Friday at eight P. M., or nine tuns ami seven Jiours iroux dock to dock, and sho could have carried 3,000 tons of freight. On this point 1 Lave como information regarding the contest between tho Now York and Pacific Railroads and tho London and Paris and Suez Canal. Americans may brag, but the trado is coming up tho Red Sia. My daughters did not mind tho lrip across tho Atlantic any moro than they would a trip from Wilmington to LJmith ville. As they say, wo " did up" Scotland very well with the finest weather possible. Then we hastened to this placo to -co Switzerland before tho snow falls, which wo h.ivo twentv days for, and that is enough. I stopped ouo d:iy at "Charring Cross Hotel," London. This is a castilatcd looking building, built on tho site of old Ilungerfeu il Market, one of the great centres of Lon don. On the back of this building is a depot for passengers, with eight tracks, and four platforms of stone. Tho depot is 800 feet long. At tho outer end of tho 8 tracks they converge lo four (I) and cross the lhames on llungerford bridgo of iron, thenco curve around and recross tho river on an iron bridgo to a depot over tho strand (a street) in a huge iron trough. This road is two miles long and cost $(", 300,000 in gold. This road receives all tho trains that come to London on tho West sido of tho Thames, and run3 trains of its own every ten minutes, so thero is a train in sight every three minutes. Now imagino your office converted into an elegant break fast parlor a plate glas3 window looking down into a room 100 feet wide and aglasi arch SO feet high extending to tho river, and every train drawn in by a locomotivo almost without noiso and by sido doors discharg ing 200 passengers, and in one ininuto another engine approaches and draws it out so as never to back a train they all como in and go out by orders given by signals from a man in a glass houso on tho bridge, who shifts all tho switches himself with levers connected with wireu and you have the perfection of passenger traffic. Thero is really no change in Railroads since I was hero in 1859. Ono thing I would recommend you to examino into that is the English switch. It will relievo you of much trouble. I cannot writo you tho details, but will fill up when I como home. Tho railroad system hero is better for this country than ours, and ours is bet ter for us than theirs would bo. Tho effect of tho increased supply of gold, and thesteam engine, and tho sciences of tho nineteenth century is muoh greater over hero than even in tho Northern States of America. You sco it as you rido from Sterling to Glasgow. Tho Valley of tho Clydo is stretched out beforo you. Tho farming is perfect, and almost seems tis if tho corner trees to each possession had been replaced by a coal mine that tho townships wero divided by Railroads and tho white steam from tho locomotivo is vioiblo in every valley. Tho branch Roads aro as plentiful hero us forest paths with us. Ono thinks that it must have been hero that Satan tempted our Lord. Tho Grand Hotel in Pari?, at night looks like ilio creation of Alladin's lamp, and when joa i land ia front of Roths child's vilhi i.ui Iho whores of Lake Gen eva, and look what art lias created ! in presenco of natuto's great beauties of Mount Blanc, and tho LakcV-of tho city ot luo vineyarus, and nowcr gar dens ono cannot describe it but ho feels liko tho "Caliph for a day," asking a dan cing girl to bito his finger to let him know that ho is awake. It hardly seems possi ble that it is real. Yesterday I rodo two hundred miles through tho plains of Burgundy, and tho valleys of Switzerland, and the grap03 and fruit I saw ! ! and tuo grapes I ato ! I Had I been in doubt before, this rido would have removed it all. If tho " Castlo Hay no Company " aro tho pioneers of any such results as 1 sco here, tho Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company will build a monument to Col. Cannon u'i ono of its greatest friends. I saw on both sides of Lako Geneva as far as tho eye can reach, ono mass of vine.". no other cultivation tho inhabitant! hardly leaving themselves ground enough to live upon, and except tho city of Wilming ton, thero is no town on tho lino of your read that has inhabitants enough in it to require more than tea acres of land to build their town upon if hero ao valua ble is tho land regarded fur grapes. On the steep mountain sides they build slono walls even, fifty to ono hundred feet high, to sustain tho earth. Yet, with all this trouble to cultivate, and tho reat valuo oi lands, I purchased moro grapes than my whole party could cat in a day for ten cauls. Thero aro thousands of nere.s of land along the Wilmington and Charlotte, and Manchester Railroad (besides the entire line of your road,) that aro adapted to tlm grapo now, and by tilo drainago millions ol acres more of piney lands could bo tnudo available, and during our time grapos will always bring at least eight cents ptr pound. What has been done here can be done with us and then you will want your double track. Like cau.xs lull produce liko effects, and he that comes here and looks with intelligence and thought, must see our Future, and can improve his own and coming generation's condition. Bnt Colonel you must wait until wo get to " Ca6tlo Hayno " some quiet night, and I will tell you all. -a- To-morrow night wo will sleep eight thou sand feet higher up, and bo surrounded with snow. This place is iu ten miles of tho present terminus of tho Middle Rail road line, being built through these moun tains to connect London and Paris on one side with the East via Italy and on the other via the Red Sea. Your friend, Spanish Itemx. Ever since tho family compact, by which Louis XIV. imposed ono of his descendants on the Spanish throne, tho Saliquo Jaw, which excludes females, has regulated tho succession in Spain. But tho iato Kiu, Ferdinand VII., having no sou, changed that law so that his daughters might suc ceed him. At Ida death, Isabella, then some threo or four years of age, was pro claimed Queen. Her uncle Don Cai lod, who considered his rights violated by tho new law of succession, appealed to arms, and a civil war of five years enaued, which, by the aid of English Free Lancers, resulted in favor of tho young iid(.exx. Tho Count do Montcmolin i.i the heir of Don Carlos, and still makes pretensions to tho throne. Bat ho appears to havo few partisans, tho adherents of his father haviug mostly ranged themselves under tho colors of the Queen. Wo sco no mention anywhere wndo of tho King, tho Queen's husband. Ho ap pears to have taken no part, and to have been of no consideration whatever in tho late tmpieasa&taess.
