Written at the request of a lady of Mo-

that a discussion had been, inaugurated in
that city, among the military combines, as
to the propriety of ehangkxsc the .(Tray for

Ti-hen the Land's Martyr, mid her tears,
Outbreathed his latest breath,
The discord of long, festering years,
Lav also dumb in death: , ? . C; - .
Our "Souls a new-born Friendship drew . '
With spells of kindliest sway
At it. at last, the conquering Blue
pient with the vanquished Gray!
n. - v
Yet rho, thro' this South-land -of ours,
While Faith and Love are free.
But stiU must cast memorial flowers
Vcross the grave of Lee?
Vnd oft their ancient grief renew
' O'er - Stone wall's" cherished clay? '
The heart that's pledged to guard the Blue
ilust honor still the Gray!
III.
0 Veterans ! of Potomac's flood,
Or Vicksburg's lurid sky,
Old passions may be purged of blood,
Old memories cannot die!
They till your eyes with fiery dew.
Revive "your manhood's May,
Ami past the bright, victorious Blue, Vft
Briii? back the stainless Gray! '
IV.
0 Martyrs! of the desperate fight,
ill w eak and broken now,
With shattered nerves, or blasted sight,
Frail arms and furrowed brow!
What think ye of the patriot view
Flashed on your minds to-day?
Too old to doii the prosperous Blue.
Ye clasp your tattered Gray!
From many a worn and wasted mound,
nd dust-encumbered clod.
The voices of dead heroes sound,
Risiug twixt oarth and God!
Our iM'in rt :iS dark, onr lice were true.
Ah! east not quite away
What' time ve hail the favored Blue
Old dreams that crowned the Gray!"
VI.
Can Honor iu his sacred grave
Less fair and glorious be?
Cau Faith on fortune's fickle wave,
Ctnnnre with the changeful sea?
Bewarelest what ye rashly do
Sliould end in shamed dismay.
wl nil pure champions of the Blue,
' Sr irait-rg to the Gray!

Washington, Nov. 6, 1881.
Editor Star: I had occasion a
few (lavs a,'o toreler to the census
of the year in i, in the Library of
Cofrtrre.ss. ami found in it some facts
that will -uiiest North Carolinians.
The whole report is not larger than a
Trihi'iK- Almanac, and is confined
entirely to a statement of the popu
lation of the States and Territories,
by counties. Fortunately the report
for North Carolina states the popu
lation f the towns, and it will be
curious ttcompare these returns with
those of the last census, after a lapse
of eighty years. The figures are as
follows, which your readers in the
different counties can compare with
their several towns at the present day :
population in 1800.-

I regret that I omitted to take
lown four or five places that have
teased to exist; but their aggregate
population would scarcely amount to
two hundred. I omitted Elizabeth,
ako, which is on the southwest of
the Cape Fear, and another Eliza
beth, which was in one of the coun
ties northeast of the Albemarle Sound.
Oxford and Greensborough were not
m existence in 1800, although they
re now regarded as old towns.
Hilton was not in the list either, nor
ld Williamsborough, in Vance, for
merly Granville.
The State, at the date of this cen
8us, contained 478,103 inhabitants,
and its aggregate town population
as less than 13,000, or 5,000 less
than ihat of Wilmington at the
present day. I doubt if there was
another country in the world at that
of equal extent and population,
pat did not contain a larger propor
lon of town normlatinn : and. ; not-
I ithstaading the -very considerable
s'ovvm ot the towns 4oring. the past
. eighty years, and especially, within
? Pdt dozen or hi teen years, i think
; "iat itig gtill true tnat we have fewer.
':. ?Ple residing in-towns than A any
1rher country in the IwpTld , .We
Ve Deerr the most exclusively agri-
.cultural of .'all. other 'communities
But we are now undercroincr a erreat

the growth of the towns, r -After all,
Wilmington , has -increased ten-fqld

the Statehas gained only, three-fold.
None of us wilt be alive to5 see the
prediction fulfilled, but I hazard it,
that in the next eighty years Wil
mington will have increased ' twice
'ten-fold. ..
, In the Northern . States . the civic
population i too great for that' of the
rural districts. Everybody in - rush
ing to town. The lands are being
monopolized by the rich men, and
the poor are going to town .to get
employment, to have the benefit of
the public schools, which are better
than those in the country, and to en
joy the excitement of Crowds and
shows. This is a very unhealthy con
dition of the social system, and grows
from bad to worse. The evil is aug
mented, too by the ostentatious, be
nevolenceof the millionaires, who, at
death, when they have no further
use for their hoarded, treasures, de
mote them exclusively to the erection
of monuments to themselves, in the
shape of hospitals, schools, libraries,
&c., in the cities they inhabit, instead
of distributing their millions over the
country, from which their fortunes
are derived. The great merchants
and bankers- owe their countless
thousands and millions to the coun
try, and not to the cities, and they
should endow the schools, churches,
and colleges of the back country, in
preference to those of the city. By
this means country, life would be
made attractive, and the people
would cease to flock to the cities.
In the South a different condition
of things exists. We have not enough
of town and city population to make
home markets for farmers and gard
eners, to diversify pursuits, to en
courage literature, and to give life
to the people. But we are now en
tering on a career which will bring,
within a generation, all these ad
vantages; and then, I fear, we are
destined to follow in the footsteps of
the North, and to find ourselves at
the end of half a century laboring
under the class of evils which beset
that section a state of things in
which the rich have grown enormous
ly rich, while the masses of the peo
ple have become very poor a state
of things in which the lands are all
falling into the hands of the rich few,
and the poor go out as "tramps," in
pursuit of Work, or of plunder.
I have just met with a new book
from the press of Peter G. Thomp
son, Cincinnati, in which all intelli
gent North and South Carolinians, all
Virginians and Tennesseeans, at least,
will feel a deep interest. It is en
titled "King's Mountain and its
Heroes,-' the history of the battle,
and the events which led to it, by
Lyman C. Draper, Secretary of the
Wisconsin State Historical Society.
Mr. Draper who is now above sixty
years old, has devoted his life, from
early manhood, to the study of South
ern Revolutionary history. He trav
eled through the South, m my years
ago, in pursuit of information upon
the subject, from public and private
sources. He is a born antiquarian,
well educated, of sound head and
heart, and though his home is far
away in the north-west, he cherishes
the memory of our Southern Revo
lutionary patriots and . heroes with
the affection of a lineal descendant.
He is a clear, strong writer, and pre
sents the history of the interesting
and important events with more de
tail, and I venture to say, with more
accuracy, than any preceding writer.
A peculiar feature of the book is
the effort to bring into re
lief the lives of many heroes of
that day, of whom we have hereto
fore had only general and vague ac
counts. Including a valuable appen
dix, which embraces much rare mat
ter, the book contains 593 large octavo-pages.
It is illustrated by seve
ral handsomely engraved likenesses
of the heroes of the battle, including
Jos. McDowell and Joseph Winston,
of North Carolina, with a map of
the adjacent country, a picture of
the mountain, Furguson's camp and
headquarters, and other interesting
scenes. The whole book is got up
in a style of elegant typography, and
abounds in solid facts rather than in
attempts at fine rhetoric. The coun
try, and the South especially, owe a
debt of gratitude to Mr. Draper for
this labor of love, in which he has
preserved the names of many heroes
which, otherwise, time would soon
have engulfed in oblivion.
A Noeth Carolinian.
Lately adverted to by the Indianapolis
(Ind.) News, is the fact that Mr. Frank
Patten, one of the editors of the Indiana
Farmer, (of Indianapolis), strongly indorses
St. Jacobs Oil. It cured his wife of a very
severe attack of rheumatism and so quickly.

We give above a correct likeness of this well
known and successful physician aud surgeon, who
has made a life-long study of Nervous Diseases
and the Diseases of the Skin, and he now stands
in the highest rank, as authority on those special
$nd distressing diseases. In the course of his
practice he discovered what now are renowned
in medical practice, viz : a combination of Celery
and Chamomile in the shape of Pills. They are
used by the profession at large and constantly
recommended Tby them. -
It is not a patent medicine. It is the result of
his own experience in practice. They, are & sure
cure for the following special diseases, and are
worthy of a trial by all intelligent suff erers. They
are prepared expressly to cure siek headache,
nervous headache, dyspeptic headache, neural

;-fn-n.-Somd three months ago I beran the
use of Dit. H-TKit"8 Iron Tonic, upon the ad
vice of many frleiul? who knew Its virtues. I was
Mitt'eriiipr from peneral debility to such an extent
that my labor was exceedingly burdensome to me .
A vacation of a month did not give me much re
lief, hut on the contrary, was followed by in
creased prostration and sinking chilis. At this
Ume 1 beean the use of your lBOH TOKIC, from
which 1 realized almost immediate and wonderful
results. The old energy returned and I found that
my natural force was not permanently abated. I
have used three bottles of the Tonic. Since using
it I have done twice the labor that I ever did In the
same time during my illness, and with double the
ease. With the tranquil nerve and viitorofbody,
has come also a clearness of thought -never before
enjoyed. If thi Tome has not done the work, I
know not what. I give it the credit.

i . NOTICES OFvTHE PBESS:

beaten. Jackson Reporter.

pers in the South, in every department from typo-,
graphy up to editorial ability and independence.
Petersburg (Va.) Index-Appeal. i-
We like the Stab because it is thoroughly relia
ble, candid, fearless, and so well and ably edited,
newsy, spicy, -and in fact a perfect newspaper.
Long may the Stab twinkle. ML, Airy .Visitor.
Although at the head-of the press in this State
in all that makes a paper valuable to the reader,
still it continues to improve. It Is a Stab of the
first magnitude. May its lustre never wane.
The Free Will Baptist. : , .
The Wilmington (N. C.) Mobhing Stab is a mod
el newspaper. Indeed, we think we do not exag
gerate its merits when we say it is the newsiest
(secular) paper published in the South. Richmond
(Va.) Religious Herald.
The Wilmington Stab has now entered upon its
thirteenth year and twenty-fifth volume. One of
the best oonduoted and edited papers in the South
and, as a North Carolinian, we are proud of it.
Tarboro Southerner.
The Stab Is So well and favorably known in this
section of the State, that we can say nothing of
which its thousands of readers do not already
know. It is in every respect one of the best dai
lies in the South. Robesonian.
The Wilmington Stab has entered on its twelfth
year. It is a most excellent newspaper, well ed
ited, a compendium of all the news of the day,
and an honor to Its city, to North Carolina and to
North Carolina journalism. Charlotte Observer.
That magnificent beaming Stab has completed
its twenty-second volume. It is one of the mogt
brilliant, erudite and sparkling dailies south of
the Potomac. The system in the get up of the pa
per surpasses them all. Tarboro Southerner.
The Times cannot say a word too good for the
Wilmington Stab. It has just reached one of its
many birthdays. As a newspaper it is a favorite
with the State press and is sought "after by the
people. Long and prosperous life to it. Reids
ville Times.
Why is it that all the papers with the name of
Star are such bright little Journals? The Wilming
ton (N. C.) Stab, the Washington Star, the Fred
ericksburg Star, New York Star, for example.
There must be something in a name after all.
Richmond (Va.) State.
The Wilmington Stab, we are pleased to notice,
still continues on the high road to success. We
esteem the Stab very highly, regarding it as one
of the very best of our exchanges, andT consider It
the peer of any journal published in the South.
Oxford Free Lance.
The Wilmington Stab la now taking the regular
midnight Associated Press reports, nd has be
sides increased the amount of its reading matter.
The Stab Is an excellent paper. Its prosperity Is
not surprising since it is so deserving. Charlotte
Observer.
The Mobjons Stab, one of the best dailies we
know, and as a newspaper, in our opinion, the
very best, has entered upon its twelfth year. In
every particular the Stab comes fully up to the
mark as the principle daily in our chief commer
cial city. Long may it twinkle. Alamance Glean
er. The Wilmington Stab has entered upon its 12th
volume, and we are pleased to notice still contin
ues on the road to success. We esteem the Stab
very highly, regarding it as one of the very best
newspapers that comes to this office. Its news
columns are always a little fuller than those of
any other of our exchanges, and its editorial de
aartment is conducted with much ability. Mor
qanton Blade.
Humble in its beginnings, as was inseparable
from an enterprise begun amid the wreck of for
tune that attended the collapse of the Southern
Confederacy, the Stab has steadily "waxed" un
til it now beams resplendent in the full glow of a
constantly brightening prosperity. As a newspa
per it has few equals, and no superior, for appro
priate selection and judicious arrangement, and
we are proud to rank it among our most accepta
ble exchanges. Hillsboro Recorder.
The Wilmington Mobnino Stab has entered up
on the thirteenth year of its existence, and we
take this opportunity to congratulate it upon its
prosperity and deserved popularity. The remark
able success of the Stab is due to its strict atten
tion to business. The boast of the Stab (rightful
ly too,) is that it always has the news, and this is
the first thing In journalism. Otherwise the pa
per is all that the term of "good newspaper" im
plies, and its corps ef editors and reporters are
thoroughly educated newspaper men. May the
healthy, moral Influence of the Stab never be re
tarded, and may Its genial, enterprising proprie
tor enjoy many more happy years of usefulness
Goidsboro Messenger.
