N; nlKTu PLACE of a president op r . -ta the United States Pulled Down. Yesterday the workmen went vigorous ly to work to tear down the noted old building adjoining the Yarbrough House, to give place to the proposed additioa to the hotel, the work of building which is to be immediately commenced. This was one of the oldest buildings in Rakish, and under its root Andrew Johnson, Ex President of these United States, first saw the light of day. The recollec tions of three-quarters of a century clusters around this old building, and its removal causes a tinge of sadness to fall on the hearts of some ot our old citizens. It was. to them a monument perpetuating the memory of their young, and to some happier, days.. It v&3 a touching sight to see thpse old men gathering relics of tbe house which is to pass away forever. Some took Snail, some a piece ol the, timber while tib emotions of others could be stifled with nothing less than a whole shingle. V: Citizens' Meeting. Owing to1 the rain storm last nightthe proposed meet ing ofjhe citizens inthe interest of the State Agricultural Association; was nec- essarrlypostponed, and j!ll be held at Metropolitan. Hall tonight. ; We are glad to see a 'positive enthu siasm at last among our citi zens. But for the rain last night we believe the meeting would have been a success. We;-"have recently' taken another look, at ' the new -grounds, and take a' prjcle in anticipating the beautiful-park, interspersed with shade trees, evergreens, rustic summer houses, that will form a portion of the grounds. The whole is to be laid off with nice walks and drives, which will form delightful summer resorts, and making the grounds suitable for the purposes of a State Fair. By all means, let ns have the plans of the Committee fully carried out. Attend the meeting to-ni"ht. Oxford Item3. Our Oxford Corres pondent, writing under dateof yester day, j.ends us the following from that place : Mr. L. M. Vanhook, who has been laboring under mental derangement for some time past and whose mind is an utter wreck, has been sent to the Poor House. While the Poor Hou e is con fessedly an insuitable place for such lunatics, it is the best that can be done for him under the circumstances. Mr. W. C. Bullock, a prominent and most estimable citizen of Granville county, died a few days ago. He was a leading member of the Presbyterian Qhurch. . - -. ; Divine services at the Oxford Asy- lnm on Sunday evening were of a very interesting character. Rev. A. D. Cohen officiated.

The Registrars are composed of equal num bers ot Democrats and Republicans, thus, so far as the icgistration is con cerned, we believe everything will be conducted 1 airly. j Yesteuday's Registration.

A Trip Through Those States What OneSees The Present and Future Development of the South 'Atlan ta's Prosperity The Farming In- ; terests and the Southern Gentle men. J u . ; Leaving the City of Oaks about the- middle of March for a trip'-hrougli some of the more Southern States, and having spent some time in Sooth Car olina, G eorgia and Alabama, I will give your readers a brief review ol some few things that came under my obseivation. Leaving Charlotte on the Columbia and Augusta train, under the charge of that gentlemanly conductor, Captain Wolfe, I was soon speeding through our sister State of Carolina. Arriving at fokt mills, the place familiar.to the duelling world, I was constrained to get pnf and lok around, not with any hope,however,that I should ever have to play the agreeable there. I have never seen a place that looked more suited to "the cutting of a'. throat or skuttling a ship." Everything looked dreary and dessolate, and I shud dered to think what I might feel if there uuder other circumstances. PINING AT COLUMBIA, gave us an opportunity of looking upon tins city, wnicn stmerea so severely at the hand of Sherman's forces. It pre sents an appearance of positive thrift, and no evidence of the devastation of 'G5 is observable. But we could not help ieenng a sympathy lor the citizens ot Columbia, in common with the people of that whole State, in the oppression which they have felt since the war from the iron heel of Radical misrule. Tbe line of road from Charlotte to Augusta presents but little attraction, the land3 possess but little real merit in them, and the farming interests are backward. Upon nearing Augusta, I observed several lame ; .'. cotton factories, those institutions which sooner or later will revolutionize the whole South, and place in our midst those immense man ufacturing interests that have served to build up and enrich many portions of the North. I hope soon to see the dav when not one pound of cotton shall be shipped to Northern manufactories, for with the immense water powers to be found in all portions of the South, and the innumerable advantages afforded in our midst for work of this character, it is too evident that capital and energy only are needed to make the South ( all that nature intended'it should be. AUGUSTA lavs jnst-. claims to being a beautiful city ; its broad streets, with their shaded walkways in the centre thereof, and its handsome residences, fully entitle it to the name. I am under especial obligations, for courtesies extended, to Mr. R, L. Rhodes, ueneral 1 reight Agent of the Georgia Rai!road. May he Jons live and uros- l,er- , - ' , A pleasant ride of a night in a Pul- man sleeping car landed us in ATLANTA, and a day was spent in looking at this city which suffered so heavilv during ,the last years ot the war from the de vastation occasioned by the two con tending armies remaining in and around it lor so many months Although the greater portion of the place was either despoiled or wholly destroyed, not one evidence of this destruction is now to i seen. On the other hand, the city has been for several vears rapidly im proving, and to-day Atlanta bears more tbe appearance of life and thrift than any place in the South, while business houses and dwellings have not only completely obliterated the marks of the despoiler of a few years back, but are rapidly covering an area of ground that serves to swell the dimensions of the city. The central depot, building at this place, built of iron entire, is second to but few in the country, and the con stant passage of heavily ladened freight trains over the State road, transmitting the produca of thereat West, being indirect communication with the St. Louis market, makes one forcibly feel that there is life in the old laud vet." I visited Oglethorpe Park, or the ex ¬ hibition ground of the Georgia State Agricultural Association. They are quite handsome, but the proposed "rounds at Raleigh, according to the plans drawn, would far surpass them. TUE ROLLING MILLS at this place are doing an immense bus iness, and the new roads that are being built from Atlanta into and through the immense iron beds west of that city will serve to swell the importance and di mensions ot these mills. I saw six hundred convicts at woik upon a road that is being rapidly built from Atlan ta to Talladega, Alabama, which will pass through immense stores oi iron ore. - Indeed, a day's observations in and around Atlanta convinced me that there was no reason why the South should not recover from-the lethargy into which she was plunged a few" years ago, and rise in her majesty and might and become both prosperous and great. A run over the State Road towards Dalton enabled me to view much of THE BATTLE GROUND in front of Atlanta which served as a bone of contention between the armies of Johnston and Sherman, where ijobly the Southron poured out his blood upon Lis-native soil, and where many thousands of both armies now lie beneath the small pieces ol pine boards that alone tell of the dead heroes A soldier cannot look upon this scene without again living in imagination through those scenes where, man de lighted to slay his lellow man, and in voluntarily his hand is stretched over the dead soldier as he exclaims with a sigh, . "peace to his memory "y A halUday was spent at rome, : the home of "Bill Arp,M or Major Wm Smith, a lawyer of ability and Associate Editor of a Rome daily. I had the pleasure of looking upon the Major's "countenance. He is a quiet looking individual, has no appearance ot humor in him, and his face does not indicate the man. He. is reviewing and revising his work of a few years; back, and it is soon to be republished. ; The land in this section is goodj the fine bottom lands or the several rivers in this immediate section are worth from $25 to $ 100 per acre, Rome Is a piace oi no inconsiderable importance, as it is claimed that in getting upon a : i j i j .i . - lauioau anywnere in mat section one must be either going to or from Rome I am under obligation to Mr. Dwinell, a ournaIist ot Rome, for courtesies shown me. ' I must here say that the only obiec- tion I found to Georgia was the price of arinKf to a .worth Carolinian, accus tomed to good Nash brandy at mode rate figuers, twentyfive cents a drink was frightful. (Woodson couldn't have stood this) -. A run down the Selnia road into ALABAMA brought to view some of that delightful country. I spent several days in differ ent portions ot Alabama, and was' much pleased to see the advances that Are being made towards progress in. many sections. Northern capital is being in vested in the iron mountains of Alabama and West Georgia the iron ore of this section will yield, it is claimed, eighty per cent., & larger yield than that of any other section, and within a lew years this hitherto hidden wealth is compelled to enrich the country The supply of ore is inexhaustible. THE FARMING INTERESTS . . ; are backward, in consequence of the bad weather and -late season, but there was an evidence on every hand of a go-ahead-itiveness, although in many por tions of both Alabama and Georgia the farming public, like the farmers of North Carolina, are RISKING HEAVY IN FERTILIZERS, : and if the coming season should unfor tunately be a bad one, the farmers of almost the entire South will suffer alike in the general disaster; that would fol low. My perambulations did not take me quite as low as Montgomery, although I had a peep at the country just North ot it. 1 found the people ot Alabama genial, hospitable and intelligent. Evidences of .former wealth and present sufficiency were observable everywhere tbe genuine Southerner, who once had his thousands of acres of land and his hundred slaves, is still the same generous soul and elegant gentleman, although his means will not allow him to be as extravagant in his mode ot living as was hisiwont. The true type of the Southern gentleman is well worth looking at, and I can only regret that there are not more of them in the land. The Southern beauties are not the least that one sees -s to ad mire, at least 1 think so : but I must not stop to pay homage to what I have seen in this line, or I would prolong this ar tide to an unreadable length although I turn from it with a sigh. I met many Northern persons who have been spending their winter in Florida, which State is fast becoming the favorite winter residence of hun dreds of Northerners. I was loth to return my steps home ward again, being well content to spend the balmy days of Spring, in rambling through the Southern States. 8. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A.

In the case of the Erie investigation to-day," Mr. Archer explained the object of the Southern Improvement .Company, by which it appears there was a combina tion of the Erie, tbe Pennsylvania and the New lork Central Roads to con trol the whole of the oil trade ol New Yoik, by monopolizing the oil freight from the oil regions at $2.40 per bbb, ot which the proposed Improvement Company was to have $1.40 on "each bbl : 33 per cent, to be divided between Erie and New York Central, whether they transported the oil or not, and the Pennsylvania Railroad was to have the other 68 per cent. The project was one of Mr. Watson's, the present President of the Erie Road, but it fell through. Ileniy L. Aules, formerly in Fisk's private office, testified that no one could ever tell Irom the records to whom money was paid, lor legal services at Albany, as the entry was dimply for legal services. In October, 1869, $100,000 were paid to Mr. Wm. M. Tweed for legal services. At another time $10,700 were paid to Tweed. Vouchers continue, at irregular periods id 1870, showing , th .t , Tweed had as much money as he wanted, and whenever he wanted it. In 1871. over $440,000 dodara were paid Tweed lor legal services, but the sums do not appear on the 1 books of the Company The witness made out the vouchers for them. . -: The judgment record and bill of ex ceptions in istokes' case were filed to day in the Supreiue Court. .
