What is known as the "one-horse mails' are the moat important in the coautry, and we think the Government should afford them Itwice a week at least, instead of reducing tuem to once a week It would be better and more fair to re duce ti.s mails ou Railroads to once a day instead of twice, anl give the people in the country (or backwoods) better facili ties than are now contemplated. The Department has spent too much for Rail road mails and Ocean Steamship lines, and that is what causes a deficiency iu Wyin.wUl ! apopriation alluded tointhsollpw rJrTU'Milrpss, tTSyiuLO Uis Excellency, the Governor, has thought it proper tq'jssue an address to the people of the State in loUtifli to the proposed sale of the Western North Oar- ' plitia Rail Road to Mr. Best aud associ ates, in which be sets forth the details pf the proposition and his reasons tor calling tho Legislature to consider the same. To call a Legislature together ia . extraordinary session is to assume a groat respohsibiUtjj but a man who has not he uerre to do his duty when he kupws it, is not fit to be a Governor of orth Carolina .or any pther State, TTbatever rliffereftce of opinion there may be upon Jhe ajviaabjluy of sellisg the prqperty jn question, all ho road the' Govermn's address will agree that he presents the matter plajnly and forcibly and so far an bis action in the premises are concerned b at be has been discreet and patriotic. We give the main pqiots of It'ia address ; "The proposition of Mr. Best and his associates as perfected, briefly stated is this : The fcjtate, through its proper jepmmiasionprs, is to make a deed, with out warranty pf title, to Mr. Rest and hi Bsaociates for the State's interest in the Western North Carolina Railroad. Tli is deed is not to be delivered to th: purchasers until the railrtad is complet ed both to Dijcktflwn and to Paint Rock, nor until all the other stipulations of their contract are performed: but until then it is to be held in trust by the Uni t States T4(; Cbmpany, of New York, upon tbe following conditions : If the road is completed as agreed up on iu the contract, aud all thp other con d.tioiiH therein stipulated are faithfully one the grant becomes void, the property inverts to the State, the I'nited States Truat Company is to re-deliver to the JtU the deed oud all papers perUiniug thereto, and the State re-enters at once into the ppaaaasipu, pontrol and owner ship pi the entire property.

I also direct that the service placed on new routes since and including July 1, 1879, be dis continued if the foregoing reduction is not sumcient for the purpose indicated.

Its motions are contiguous, admitting of an extraordinary rate of speed, either by steam or foot power. Every motion of the treadle rr.akos six stitcrios, thus produc ing about one-third more work In a day than other Sewing Machines, j It has no stop motions, and tightens the stitch with the needle out of the fabric. It uses the volt-known Wilson Compound Feed on both sides of the needle. It has two-thirds less parts than any other first-class Sewing Machine. Iu arm Is fully eight and one-half inches long and -five and ene-half inches high, and the whole Machine Is very compactly and scion tiflcally constructed in proportions, elegance, design and appear ence. Its simple, powerful and perfect mechanism places II as far In advance of all other Sewing Machines as the telephone is superior t3 the tin speaking tube.
