(2) A pure
Whiskey 1
stimulant, Century
"Down the Raleigh & Gaston
Road." Under the above caption ap
pears an interesting article in the last
issue of the Hillsboro Recorder, which
we take the liberty of copying into our
columns. It is from the pen of. the
editor of that paper, J. S. Cameron,
Esq., who is one of the best informed
gentlemen in this State. The following
is the article :
"From Raleigh to Weldon, the coun
try along this road exhibits the most
striking and gratifying marks of im
provement. Every Station is a growing
village, the strongest evidence of the
thrift ihess of the country of which it is
the centre. Forestville, the first one of
importance, now contains fifteen or
twenty Well built and neatly improved
dwellings, and four or five stores. Here,
as elsewhere on the road, the quantities
of guano and uther fertilizers is some
what amazing. The platforms of the
ditierent ststion houses filled with it,
and unloaded cars standing at every
depot, or filling up every freight train.
Tiie cotton mania is raging, and it is to
be feared that the planter is running
into extremes. The price of cotton this
season has been more uniformly main
taineel than it is likely to be again for
years, and it has stimulated an in
creased production, and a much larger
crop than the present must result iu a
decline. As the fertilizers are bought
npon the basis of the next crop, a di
minished price must entail loss. The
tobacco planter does not incur so much
risk.- . .
Wake Forest, next below Forestville,
has greatly improved. The college
grounds have been enclosed, broken up,
laid down to grass, and embellished
with shrubbery, and walks and drives,
and, even at this season, are attractive
to the eye. The houses of the Profess
ors and others are in fine condition,
fences, grounds and shrubbery, all well
kept, and in the general air of taste and
beauty, the student must find much to
solace htm amid the otherwise weary
solitude of the locality. Franklinton
has almost ripened into a town, and
with its many new and freshly painted
houses, presents a lively appearance.
Kittrellsis no longer simply a getting
off place for visitors to the springs. It
has pretensions of its own. It is ambi
tious of streets, and is actually laid off
with regularity. Much building is
going on. It has a fine and very showy
hotel, which is in striking contrast to
the old style of such institutions in
North Carolina.
Henderson i3 almost completely re
built, lew vestiges of the fire being visi
ble l'roni the train. The number of per
sons around the depot give evidence of
quite a large population. Henderson is
looming up as a Tobacco Market,a3 well
as a Manufacturing point, and is also
turrounded by a Cotton growing re
gion, aud bids fair to be quite a large
place. "' . :
Ridgeway is one of the most interest
ing points, because Lere is one ot the
most striking exhibitions of Northern
colonizaticn. Nearly all the lands have
been bought up by Northern men, and
they are carrying out their views un
trammelled by old forms, or local oppo
sition. The example they set might be
advantageously followed by our people.
They seemed to have formed a proper
estimate of soil, climate and locality,
and they are pushing them with the ut
most energy. A country which a few
years ago was given up to old
rielels, or Unthrifty tillage, is now
divested of all its repulsive
leatures. Excellent fences surround the
extensive vineyards and more extensive
orchards. Avenues are laid off through
the woods, handsome houses meet the
eye in every direction, anel a very ele-
ant hotel stands at the road side.
Fruit raising seems to be the specialty
of occupation, and the peach orchards
are the largest south of Delaware. They
have been in bearing about two years.
One vineyard lies along the railroad,
containing apparently aoout o acres,
principally of the Concord grape. It
has no picturesque appearance at pres
ent, with its long row3 of naked slakes,
aud leafless vines, but it is no doubt
agreeable to the eye at another season.
The grapes are uesigned tor market
in the iresh state, though Mr. Labiaux
is about reviving the olt repeated ab or
tive experiment to cultivate the foreign "
grape tor the production of wine. The
colony, for so it may be called, has
other branches of industry. They re
cently lost by fire a spoke and handle
factory, whicn involved a loss or $ou,
003. "The factory will be rebuilt. They
have also a dessicating establishment
for the preparation of fruits and vege
tables, which will be actively employed
in the proper season.
Below Ridgeway, thecountry general
ly is much improved since the war, and
many imigrants have become purchasers
and permanent settlers. The State
could welcome thousands more ot the
same class, ami every encouragement
should be held out to them. Indepen
dent ot the direct benefit of such acces
sion, our own people would be improved
by competition, by example by the
infusion of new ideas.
We would like to say more, but have
already extended our notice to an un
reasonable length. -"..We owe a remark
of commendation to the Raleigh and
Gastwn Road, which has opened up
thee facilities, and which, under the
management ot its public spirited Presi
dent, has done so much tor the State.
It is now a little rough, from the pro
longed winter season, but otherwise in
good order, as the perfect punctuality
of its passenger trains at high rate of
sot ed, attests. The freight business is
heavy, and well managed,. It may be
said.. with truththat on no road in the
South are the station houses moiecapa
cious; or more attractively built. This
latter point is one too much disregarded,
since it is through the eye that the
traveller judges a country aud its instil
tutions, as evidence of thrift or ttje re
verse, make their corresponding impres-
sions.
The funeral of Capt. Diramock took
place from St. James church, Richmond,
Va , on Tuesday a'teruoon.
Venders of sewing machines are now
calling themselves " health agents." '
. Another Reminiscence. Irj our
allusion Wednesday to the old building
adjoining the Yarborough House, which
is now being torn down, we omitted, to
mention the fact, that some forty years
ago the celebrated P. T. Bam urn
exhibited his menagerie in it, which
consisted of one huge black bear. The
bear was a sight to the natives, and
crowds flocked to have-a peep at Bruin,
and P. T. B. went away with his pockets
lined with the money of Raleigh won
der loving citizens. This little reminis
cence, trifling as it may seem, has a
moral, and one too which young men
might study with profit. It.f hows what
attention to business and perseverance
will do. The bear then was Barnum's
stock in trade, tut years later we find
him a millionaire, and the owner of
palatial structures in large cities. Then
itcost Barnum but a very few dollars
per day to give his exhibitions, now
their daily cost amounts to -thousands.
Though the fire fiend has several
times destroyed his magnificent build
ing and consumed his curiosities,
animals, &c., yet by perseverance and
energy in the business he has adopted,
he is to-day a wealthy and prosperous
man. The young mechanics, merchants,
lawyers, &c, in our midst can achieve
success in their avocations by a display
of the same qualities.
