LINCOLN -COUNTY. 1 Statistical Statement by the Delegates from Lincoln County', to the Convention in Salisbury. ' In submitting a statement of the pro ducts of this County, we beg leave in the first place, to refer to the agricultural product of the County. To make an estimate of the quantity of Wheat, we must refer to the operations of our Mills. In making this statement, we will enu merate none but what are called in our County, Merchant Mills, (we have many more Mills that are not included in those that make Merchantable Flour, that grind a great quantity of YVheat.but are "not fur nished with screens and fine Bolting Cloths to make Merchantable Flour.) We have 36 mills in the county that have more than one run of stones One ol which is generally of the. French, or Georgia burr, with Bolting Cloths that make fine and superfine Flour, with screens to clean the Wheat of dust and grit. These mills only, are considered capable of making Merchantable Flour. From an estimate of . the quantity of Wheat e-round at one of these mills, with two run of stones, we will arrive at somewhat like the quantity raised in the county.1 The middle of July is the time j the new Wheat begins to go to the mills, which is generally by Wagon loads, and from that time to the middleof October, the mills are crowded with such jquanti- ties of Wheat, that in many instances the fr 1 1 1 a rp i tin dv oml tiinrhf this is con- ... 1 sidered the busy season, by the millers. Ta king a s a v e ry m od ei a t e c s ti m ate t h at each mill HiIy grinds 80 burWls vcry 24 hours, (most of the mills can grind that in half the time, it would be 480 bushels per week, and 2580 bushels for six weeks only. This sum multiplied by 36, the number of mills in the Coun ty, that make Merchantable Flour, it would appear that about 92,880 bushels are ground up in the six weeks, by the 36 Merchant mills in the county j the most of this quantity of Wheat is for mar ket.- As our mills grind all the year, the Dioduct in this one snecies or eram. by a very small estimate, may be not less than between one hundred and one hundred and fifty thousand bushels, and this is at a time when all the Flour must be hauled on wagons. The Flour from our county is general ly told in the upper part of South Caro lina: Cheraw, Camden, and Columbia. The bakers in Columbia, prefer it to Northern, as they say it works better, which no doubt is the case, as our mil- i- An. nnt rA ii, WWpat sr. r. ose as --1 they do at the hiah price far the wheat,, and try to grind . w . all out of it they can, and by close grind- inff the Flour is more dead, in which 1 1 1 case it will not work so well. .The quantity of other grain we cannot ascertain. Corn is not an article that will nav for hauling on wagons : the sur- dIus Corais generallydistilled into Whis key and Brandy made in this county and generally sold in south Larouna ; a con iderable quantity is taken to Georgia, where oun Farmers frequently sell their load, wagon, and team. One of our small Farmers, living on Beaverdam Creek, 8 miles South of Lincolnton, who is a very exemplary, industrious man, and one of our best cilizens,distillshis sur plus Corn. He made in one year, 2000 gallons Whiskey, and 1400 gallons Bran tly : in a circuit of 4 miles round this Farmer, threre are 65"distiljeries. Bea verdam does not attord, by any means, u'l - i r- i:i- 1 1- : -1 . ne most lerine lanus 111 me tuuuij , here are many neighborhoods that af- Tord larger bodies of better land. We will suppose throughout the coun ty, there are only ten times as many 'more distilleries in this county, which will fall far short of the quantity, and we know 650 distilleries ; and suppose that each distiller in the course of one year, only distills 500 gallons spirits, inclu ding Brandy, it would make the number of 335,000 gallons of spirits in one year ; '"a great fart of this grain, it. it could be got to the Sea coast at a reasonable price, "would in all probability, instead of being made into spirits, be shipped to the West India islands and made into bread there, in exchange for which we would receiye Sugar, Coffee, Molasses, and Salt. As it would increase .our exports, it woyld also increase our imports : the duties from the imports would pay additional duties into the Treasury f the United States, and cause the article of Sugar Coffee, Molasses, and Salt to be abun dant in our Markets, which would cause articles now universally used, to be fur nished to our farmers at a much cheaper rate than at present, and at the same time, furnish an additional quantity of ireignt to a Kait Koad each way, . isoiion.-1 ins article is cultivated in the greatest quantities on the South Fork ana on thei Uatawba, near Beatttes ford, kast or Lincolnton. Considerable quan titles are raised 12 to 14 miles North west of Lincolnton, and it can advanta geously be raised throughout the county but many Farmers raise none, and with some it is riot a principal part of their crop. The Cotton Factory near Lincolh- lun, consumes at least yuuu IDs. per monm, 1U3,0U0 lbs. per annum, equal to S60 bags of 300 lbs. each ; this supply mr ine factory is principally obtained from small planters, some of 'whnm hnvp not wagons and teams to take it to mar ket . Alihou gh the o w n e r of the Factory nas general y given the market price at Columbia, jonly deducting the price of hauling, tine planters who have wagons and teams, generally haul it to Colum bia, and very frequently sell it for less in Columbia than they could get at the Factory. The product of the county at the smallest calculation, may be estima ted at 3000 bags. Tobacco. We have fine lands to pro duce this article, and a fine climate, but the difficulty of getting it to market, causes our Farmers to omit plantins: it. None is raised for market. Hay .Kt article raised of a very fine quality in this county, from wet lands or natural meadows, and much tame grass, clover, herds grass, feather and orchard grass j there are but few Farmers in the county that have hot good meadows ; ma ny of these meadows will produce 4 tons of good Hay per annum per acre. . Sup pose the 1600 freeholders in the county to have only 4 acres each (many Farmers have 20) and each acre to produce only 2 tons of Hay per acre per annum, it would appear! at this small estimate, to be 12,800 tons per annum. Could a market be found lor the Hay produced in this county, oi a quality e qual to the best Timothy, (it is not pre sumed that one halt oi me meauow lauus . . ' .' . - - . . I : I . 1 . I'm this county are in cultivation,) more than double tus amount count De protiu iced for market And suppose that only 12,800 tons uf Hay could be sold at g5 per ton, it would amount to the sum of 864,000 per annum. 1 here are several uold mines in the countv. one m which is certainly the richest in the country, has lately predu !ced 100 pennyweights per day from the laoor of 7 nanus, wnicn in quicKsuver, suppose this to be worth only 40 cents ner nennvweidit. would be 40 dollars 1 J r per day. V. i , . ... We have irt this countv six un nuns the quantity of Oil made in these mills we could not ascertain. The operations of these mills go to show that a consider able quantity of Flax is raised. We could not ascertain the numoer oi Saw mills, which is considerable ; as an evidence of the manv Saw mills, every stream of sufficient size furnishes valua ble seats for water power, of which there are a grat many 5 the Southtork running nearly through the middle of the county, . f 1 , 1 . 11 - i. attords a great many vaiuaoie mm seais, the great many tributary streams, but a small part of which have been yet brought . 1 .!.. 1 r . i - : .. i into use; oui saweu ijumuer it vcrjr plen ty and so cheap that there are but few counties in the State where the Farmers so generally live in so neat and comfort able houses, which has given employment to so many house carpenters, that a.con- siderable number of ouryoun men le"arn the house carpenter's business. The same mav be said 01 millwrights ; the demand for mills has caused many young men to learn the millwright's busi- ness ; the necessary amoiuon among the mill owners has caused our Millwrights to e x e r t in etr sktti 1 ir maKtn g gooa sua stantial work that is rarely exceiieu in the State; Such is the character of-our m i 1 1 w ri gh 1 3 a n d h 0 u s e c ar p e n t e rs , th a t they have frequent calls to go into South Carolina to build mills or houses; such is the character of our mechanics of this kind in South Carolina, that generally a Journevman who has learned his trade in this county, is at once relied on as workman ; another characteristic that re commends them is, they are journeymen of sober and industrious habits. We have one Woollen Factory in this county, with 40 spindles jn operation, ling mill attached to it, the which has a tu enterprising owner makes Janes ciom which he tulls; nis factory nas ueen 111 oneration only about 18 months ; all the goods he has made, he has lounu reaiiy saie . . . : . . I- 1- 1 I for. at from 60 to 80 cfents per yard at wholesale. These goods are sold by re tail in our stores at 75 cents to 1, are coming into general use, the deinnnd in creasing as the goods are known. We will next sav something of the Iron Works in this) County: we have live Gor ges in operation which are able to make from the ore 250 lbs. of Iron to each fire, these 5 forges with the number of fires in use, are capable of making: 2350 lbs. of Iron per day, and supnosinir thev would work 300 days'in a year, might produce 705,000 lbs. or 2515 tons of Iron : this is only from those Iron Works that make Iron directly from ore. Of those that work Pig metal, there are five, that can make 350 lbs. per day to the fire, and from the fires worked bv-these Fonres. they could produce 8100 per day or in 300 uajs svi3u,U00 lbs. or 121,500 tons, making 123,850 tons of Iron that may be made in 300 days from all the Forges in operation in the'eounty, which at the price of only 880 per ton, would be worth 89, 910,000. It is not supposed that all these Forges operate 300 days in a year, but if sufficient encouragement was offered for the ss aie ol Iron, this cnu Id he 1 Up nrn. duct or nearly so AVe have in addition to these Iron Wqrks, four extensive Furnaces in ope ration, which are generally in operation not less than 4 months in the year j they work Hollow Ware, Machinery and Pig metal, to be. worked into Bar Iron. Since the operations on the Gold Mines, there has been a considerable demand for cast Machinery for the Mills, to siind rock. a n d i n th e i in p i o vementof ou r Flour Mills cast Machinery has become in use and is preferred. The product of one of these Furnaces is usually about , 1 8,000 lbs. of metal per week. Supposing these 4 Fur naces to be in operation only 4 months each in the year, it would make 16 months or 64 weeks of only 4 weeks to the 'month';' would produce 115,200 lbs. or 5760 tons per annum, As there is no demand for the Pioj metal, only to make it into Bar Iron, the principal part of the metal is made into Hollow Ware, which does not pay well to haul in wagons, but some of which is hauled into Georgia and a con siderable quantity into South Carolina.-- As Iron Ore can be found in almost eve ry hill in the county, if Yz metal could be transported to the sea-shore for a rea sonable price, so as to afford a nrofit to the Manufacturers, this county could port an immense quantity- of Pig metal, wnicn is now vvorth from 42 to 48 dollars per ton in New York, but will not pay 1 1 . 1 . y . .. hauling in wagons. But if we had a com munication by a Rail Road from Lincoln ton to Fayetteville, at the highest calcu lation of freight on the Cincinnati and Charleston Rail Road, 35 cents per 100 for each 100 miles ; the distance now to Fayetteville from Lincolnton does not exceed 142 miles, would only be onetiaif- cent per pound or 50 cents per 100 lbs. This vould enable the manufacturers to export Pig metal, and be well paid for it, after shipping it to New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia or Boston, that would bring into demand much of our water power, and make the beds of Iron Or-e valuable. Who" 'can conceive the wealth to the StateJ from the Iron Mines ? r The increased demand for Iron for- Rail Roads and other purposes, has late- y raised the price considerably. "What but Iron has been the wealth of Sweden; when the State of North Carolina has within its limits inexhaustible quantities, and probably could produce a quantity ittle short of that of Sweden if she would only provide a mode of transportation to! 111c oca snurs uy a itait ivuau r !. o u t;i t' j a Notwithstanding this county is far in the interior, distant from market, and has tad to rely pretty much on manufactur- ng within itself, and combining the value of the Iron-Manufactures to that of the AgricultQrali5ts, what has been th quan tity of foreign goods sold and consumed n this county, and what amount of capi tal is used in this county in mercantile pursuits ? TheTe are in the village of Lincolnton eleven mercantile establishments, which employ a capital of not less than 8110, 000. The goods for these mercantile es tablishments are purchased in Philadel phia, New York and Charleston; are gen erally shipped to Charleston j the heavy articles are boated to Columbia and wag goned from there at from 75 cents to 100 cents per 100 weight, over the worst roads in the Carolinas in winter, much worse roads than to Fayetteville. The lighter articles of goods are waggoned from Charleston at from 82 to 82 50 cents per 100 weight, lhe freight lor the mercan tile establishments only, 111 Lincolnton, will load at least 100 waggons per annum of 4000 each, ar 400,000 lbs. In the countv, exclusive of those in the village, there are 24 more mercantile'es- tablishments, who employ capital at least of 8125,000. The freight ot these 24 es tablishments will not be less than that f those of Lincolnton. So that there are S5 mercantile establishments in the county, who have not less than 200 waggons of 4000 lbs. each, or 800,000 lbs. per annum. And this at times when all has to be haul ed in waggons. If we had transportation on Rail Roads the weight would increase two, three, or perhaps four fold, in mer cantile pursuits, and the exports from the county would likelv exceed more than 10 times the present. Froni the number of freehold voters ir our county at the last election, there wer about 1,600 votes given in the Senate and about 2,700 in the Commons. Cal culating that only the 1,600 freeholders in the county would consume only six bushels of sal t each, which is, probably much less thh the proper quantity, and, to say nothinjof the balance" of the vo ters, it woul(jtake 9600 bushels of this indispensablearticle per year to supply this countyj I 60 lbs. only to the bushel, will be 679,0 lbs., equal to 144 wagon loads of 400 lbs. each. Suppose that the tcansporition on these 9 600 bushels on a Rail joad there, would only be a saving of 2 cents per bushel, it would amount to tjp sum of S2400 per annum to the citizeniof this county if the above estimate ofhe quantity of salt consumed be correct! - : . In the vflag-e of Lincolnton there is one (Xtenve Coach Factory and one ex tensive Uai born, and two other Shops thaj maki'Dearbornsj three Blacksmith Shirfnree Hatter Shops: three Sad- dlefsand Harness Makers; one Copper Sntl; five Tailor Shops; one Printing Ofifce; one Cabinet Maker, ( but no Shoe aniHoot Maker:) three Physicians: four pralbtsing Lawyers; a Male and Female Aciitltmy, and between 800 and 1000 in- habit.nts. Oni of the Forges in this coun ty has ereetfJ Rolling Machinery, to reduce the Iroit io bars by rolling.- This Iron is generic preferred by our Smiths, as it is rrl in to more convenient shape for Vronr" u!T0ns, Dearborns or Carriages, woii rand well, is most in demand. olIingMill can well roll 25 tons per veit when supplied with Blooms, but tlit Forge attached thereto is unable to furiish that quantity, but can furnish fromS'Jr8 tons per week. Attached to this eablishment there is a Blast Fur naceiTcli produces about 2 tons of metal Tiu jwner of this Forg rectea jachinery for cuttins ge has aiso e- i s Nails, which are avell cut, as light, and as well heade' 4jiny Nails made to the North, anuj counv At most generally used in this e Iron Works they are not yet prepa to roll the Sheet Iron, -although ex-Ltbe Ifw's perhaps the best in the coun try for that use. lo show the quality or the Iron made in this county, a gentle man in the city of Charleston, who has an extensive Blacksmith's Establishment, had a wagon load of Iron offered to him from this county. The Iron he did not need; he had a, supply of Iron of the Swede and English, and his workmen were accustomed to the shapes and qual ities of-yda Ehglish and Swede Iron? tut iie i?Hi5inan and wealthy "man, he learned from the wagoner he could sell his Iron to no one else, and did not want to haul it back. The Iron, on examina tion, was of different shape and size from that u-sed by the gentleman in his shop,but he was sorry for the wagoner, and pur chased his load of Iron. His workmen d iy-They said it worked much ea "Tielded better and firmer than y nau ueen useu to. lhe js shop told his workmen to ron for particular work; but ands were so anxious to work at they said they were doing .vork . at all times, and he V would have this Iron if they V' or, in his words, they would ave the pleasure of working id he was compelled to lock up vkcr-rlcmen frorr. hav ov kp it. . the Ik. ing access to it, and handed it out him self only when they had something to make that required the better Iron.

They so much- preferred working this Iron, they woild work it under all disadvan tages of fhape or size, in preference to the Sweqe or English Iron which was of sizes calculated for the articles they were going to make. Such was the character given ofthe Iron from this county, by , a gentleman who purchased it and who, from tha appearance and shape of lhe 1 ron, had formed an opinion that it was worth tiftt little. This gentleman has made a large fortune, and yet continues the operation of his Blacksmith's Shop. To sho' the profits on the construction of Rail Ftads, we will annex a few ex tracts from receipts on some of the Rail Roads, in the United States: The New Jesey Rail Road, according to a Report in lie Newark Daily Adver tiser, the numb of passengers in May, June and July, 35, was 1 , . . 4U,ay In the same months in 1836, 81,822 Increase 41,593.1 The receipts on the road for the last wek in July were S3, 890.

It is said the receipts on this road for the first 4 months will exceed 8160,000. That the expenses during the period will hot exceed S5000 per month, or in aggregate g20,000. So that on the 1st December the nett proceeds will be 8140,000, or 91 per cent, on the whole of the stock paid. in. On the Boston and Worcester Rail Road, 43 miles, the estimate cost 8900, 000; i n t h e fi rs t- week in August g5889 86 were received from this road. D. UEINHARDT. Lincolnton, N. C For the Register. My dear Duncan I was duly favored with yours of the - , and assure you its contents-were perused with much pleasure, as I wa9 fearful from your silence that you were in bad health, & did not wish to com municate such unpleasant intelligence to me. I was truly gratified to learn, that you are still basking in the sunshine of prosperity, and are enjoying many of the j blessings and comforts of life which our natural propensities crave after, and with out which, a large porlion of mankind would live in a state of discontent, and be found murmuring at a kind Providence, who knows better than ourselves what is best for us. Since I wrote you last, I paid a visit to II. where I met with some dozen ; or more friends, with whom vou and I have spent many pleasant and hap py hours in by-gone days. They receiv ed me with hearty gratulations, and wlin aiv intentional or accidental mention was made of your name, particular enquiries were made relative to your heal th and prosperity ; and when I told them that you had informed me your health was ge nerally good and that Providence conti nued to prosper you in your domestic concerns, a mingled feeling of joy and gratulation beamed in their countenances at the recital of such pleasing intelli gence. ; . - ': H. has increased in population a third or an half since our time, and as Internal Improvement seems to be the order of the day, its inhabitants have caught the con tagion, as. I found the streets in much better order than they have been for years past, and most of the old and dilapidated houses have been repaired and painted up, which add mucn 10 me general ap pearance ot lhe town. in a LOiumercial point ot view, it has idergone no change. The merchants are doing a safe and profitable business: particularly old Syphax Yas we used to call him) who continues to gather in his dollars, to be squandered probably to the tour wmas,, by his very promising son, when he is dead and gone. His thirst for money continues to be insatiable, and ill may judge from appearances, he wor ships no other God but wealth. Poor man laling lTches has not long since been glutted, but he is the same old miser, constantly torturing his brain to invent new plans by which to make money and enhance his already pripcely fortune. I intended to have said more about this favored spot of earth and its inhabitants, but I must beg leave to drop this, and touch no other subject until I congratu late you on the change you have made in your private matters. From your move ments when I last saw you, and the inu endoes which you very cautiously threw out, I was induced to believe, you, were anxious to exchange a bachelor's for a married life, and it appears my impres sions were not tounded upon talse or mistaken premises. Taking ' into view all the circumstances under which this change has been made, you have acted the part of a wise and prudent man. You have done nothing more, than what you ought to have done, eight or ten years a- go, though at this late period, you deserve the commendation of every friend of ma? trimony for making the most judicious choice of the two alternatives. As the ladies are generally disposed to favor union, l presume you nan not many cum- culties to encounter, or obstacles to re move, in winning the heart and hand of her whom fate has allotted ytfu as a part ner, to share the comforts and enjoyments of life, and to bear the ills and disap pointments you may meet with in your peregrinations on earth. You will accept my best wishes for a long, happy and prosperous career in the connubial state, in which;much happiness and comfort are felt and enjoyed where there is a con geniality of sentiment & feeling between the husband and the wife, who are, in a Scriptural sense, one and the same flesh, and whose affection and love for each other should be as lasting as their lives. Many enter into the matrimonial state without reflecting upon the responsibility it incurs, and the great debt they have to pay to the moral and human law. This, however, I amjiappy to say, is not your case, being well assured you would not have embarked in a business of such vat importance without giving it a calm, serious and dispassionate reflection. As you are now a married man, and have re cently made a profession of religion, you will doubtless take heed to those things which belong to your well-being in this, and another world, and receive instruc tion from the experience of others. Be careful to listen attentively to the soft whisperings of that inward monitor which governs the actions of menj and which will never fail to guide you in the pallia of virtue and honor j be consistent and prudent in all things ; govern your house hold with mildness and dignity, and ne ver lose sight of the responsible station you now occupy in society. When you shall become permanently settled on tha. farm which your deceased father bequea thed to you, it will be obligatory on you " to pay unremitted attention toyour bu siness, and, as you advance in years, keep in view, the probability of a large family to support and maintain, and, as a Christian, you will take the Scriptures . . J . .. 1 .iv -.1.-. ;m ' as your guide m tnese, anu an umci im portant matters. If I were writing to an acquaintance, or an individual lor wnom I cherished but an ordinary irienosiup, 1 might be persuaded to close this letter, but as l am addressing my friend Duncan, I do not think it expedient to relinquish my pen until I say a few words on the subject of. Religion. I rejoice to hear that its divine truths have persuaded you to become a subject of its mild and softening influence. With out it, the rich are made poor, and the poor utterly destitute of any thing valu able in this life. It is the source Irom whence true happiness and contentment spring, and to use the language of a rea dy writer, it is the image of God stamped upon Human rsature, retming us uase ness, enriching its poverty, healing its maladies, and converting its very wants into abundant plenty. It should De tn theme of every Christian's songi the narp on which to tune his notes of praise to God for the rich provision of his grate. It is weafth to the poor ; it is covering to the naked ; and bread to those who are ready to perish. It is the fairest flower that opens on earth,vthe sweetest incense that ascends to the skies. It is by far the most valuable boon bequeathed by a beneficent God to his creatures. It makes earth a heaven,-and our souls fit temples for his holy spirit to dwell in. Then, suffer me, to urge you by every thing va luable in time and eternity, to hold fast fo your profession. Be zealous, be faith ful, and His grace will enable you in the last and final struggle of death, to smile, at his terrors and welcome his approach. The Banner of the Cross has been un furled, and all mankind have been invit ed, yea intrrated, to enlist under it, and as vou orofess to be one of its recruits, I ardently hope you will continue to fight with Christian bravery, until you shall win the crown and reap unsullied joys in the fields of the blessed, after you shall have paid the debt incurred by the first transgression. Continue to write me, and I will en deavor to answer your letters promptly. Inform me of your growth in grace, and the progress you are making towards a more happy and congenial clime than this. Neglect no Christian.duty, when in your power to attend to it; let the light which has been imparted to you by the Holy Spirit, so shine, that others, beholding its brilliancy,mav be constrain. id to acknowledge the truths of the Gos pel and embrace them with all the fervor of enlightened and earnest hearts. . I renew, in conclusion, my professions of an unalterable friendship for you and yours, and may the God of Peace be with you in time, in death, and bless you in ani endless eternity. SUMMEKUlHiLiU-.
