"Happy In sharing the honor of a visit from the illustrious Presi dent of the Union to the Southern States, the Brethren of Wachovia humbly beg leave, upon this joyful occasion, to express their highest esteem, duty, and affection for the great patriot of this country. "Deeply impressed as we are with gratitude to the great author of our being for his unbounded mercies, we cannot but particularly acknowledge His gracious provi dence over the temporal and politi cal prosperity of the country, in the peace wnereor we ao find peace, and wherein none can take a warm er interest than ourselves, in par ticular when we consider that the Lord that preserved your precious person in so many imminent dan gers has made you in a conspicuous manner an instrument in his hands to forward that happy constitution, together with those improvements whereby our States begin to flour ish, over which you preside with the applause of a thankful nation. " henever, therefore, we solicit the protection of the Father of Mer cies over this favored country, we cannot but fervently implore His kindness .for your preservation. which is so Intimately connected therewith. ".May this gracious Lord vouch safe to prolong your valuable life as a turther blessing and an ornament of the constitution, that by your worthy example tho regard for re ligion be increased, and the im provements of civil society encour aged. "The settlements of the United Brethren, though small, will al ways make, it their study to con tribute as much as in them lies to the peace and improvement of the United States, and all the particu lar parts they live in, joining their ardent prayers to the best wishes of this whole continent that your per sonal as well as domestic happiness may abound, and a series of success es may crown your labors for the prosperity of our times and an ex ample to future ages, until the glo rious reward of a faithful servant shall be your portion.

The State contains a vast quantity of iron ore of every varie ty distributed over a very wide area from the head of navigation on the Iloanoke, for example, for near ly four hundred miles westward, to the extreme limit of the State, be ing found in workable quautitiesin not less than thirty counties. But a more important fact than the va riety or the abundance, or the wide distribution of these ores is the re markable purity of many of the de posits. Iron has been smelted fora hundred years in the middle and western counties, both iu forges and furnaces ; but only in quantities sufficient for neighborhood , con sumption. Much of theiron, though so rudely prepared, is equal to the best Swede, being of course, like that, reduced with charcoal. The most abundant kind of ore is Magnetite, and most of the iron hitherto manufactured in the State has been made of it ; but red Hem atite is scarcely less abundant, and Limonite is very common. Two Kinds 01 carbonaceous ore occur in association with the coal, viz : the Scotch Black Band and Ball ore (calcareous siderite.) Many of the beds of the former ores, Magnetite and Bed Hematite, are entirely free from both Sulphur and Phos phorus ; some of them contain Man- asja substitute, in parti whole, lor me lead carbonate., 1 Building Stones, frranfte, marble, ami sandstone abound Everywhere. 4air a aozen ifwmon nave been fotnd accidentallyin-hing gold, foo.F of them of considerable value.

From the Qtitago Evening 1sU Middlemarch, like all of George Elliot's works is full of brief para graphs connected with the story, vet conveying independent lessons of truth worthy to be remembered : For example : " W e are on a peril ous margin when we begin to look passively at our own future selves, and see our own figures led with dull consent into insipid misdoing and shabby achievement." "There is a forsaking which still sits at the same board and lies on the same couch with the forsaken soul, withering it the more by un loving proximity." "There are natures in which, if they love us, we are conscious of having a soul of baptism and conse cration ; they bind us over to recti tude and purity by their pure be lief about us; and our sins become the worst kind of sacrilege which tears down invisible alter of trust." "Who can know how much of his most Inward life is made up of thoughthe believes other men to have about him until that fabric of opinion is threatened with ruin?" "In courtship every thing is re garded as provisional and prelimina ry, and the smallest samplo of vir tue or accomplishment is taken to guarantee delightful stores which the broad leisure of marriage will reveal. But the door-sill of mar riage once 'irossed, expectation is concentrated on the present." "Eli Perkins" writes that Dan Marks, a veteran baggage-smasher, experienced religion at Round Lake, N. Y., and has since confessed in open meeting that he had smashed $13,000,000 worth . of trunks in twelve years, and had been too sick a good deal of the time to attend personally to the business. Iowa ladies write "private" on the corners of their postal cards. It was a country chap who, after coming to a railroad crossing the other day and reading the sign, "Look out for the locomotive," climbed to the top, and, gazing down the trark, wanted to know "Where in the thunder the old thing was?" still others both of these minerals, together with a small per centage of Chromium. Such deposits in such quantities and of such purity, remain undeveloped only because occurring in a region heretofore lit tle accessable. and wholly devoted to agriculture. But their high val ue for the manufacture of the best kinds of cutlery steel, and for the Bessamer rail is bringing' them prominently into notice and de mand. Coal. The coal of this State is of Transic age, mostly bituminous; is a good gas coal and also well adapt ed to iron smelting when coked. There are two coal beds, both In the middle region, one on Deep River, mostly in Chatham county, the oth er on Dan River, (upper waters of the Roanoke,) in Rockingham and Stokes counties. The thickness of the workable seams ranges from three to seven feet. The outcrops are respectively estimated at about thirty or forty miles, and the prob able breadth at about three miles inonecaseand one to two in the other. Both of these coal beds are in immediate proximity to some of the most extensive and valuable iron ore deposits in the State and on navigable streams. Peat exists in very large quanti ties (several hundred square miles in area and many feet thick, )in the counties near the seaboard. It is used extensively as a fertilizer by the best farmers and will some day be of great value for fuel. Limestone, though not abundant in the State, is found in more than twenty counties ; some of them in the eastern, some in the middle.and some in the western, region. That in the east is of Eocene age and is a shell conglomerate, valuable both for building purposes and for the manufacture of lime. The lime stones of the middle and western re gions are of Huronian (Pre-Silu-rian) age, and are frequently crys talline, and in several counties con stitute a very good marble, in Cher okee and Macon espesially, where are found several fine varieties and colors of this stone, white, gray, red, flesh-colored and mottled. Gold is very widely distributed through the older rocks of the mid dle and western sections, being found in workable quantities in twenty-nine counties. The first gold mines in the United States were found here about 1820, and they were wrought on a very large scale until 1847, yielding many miliions of dollars. There has been com pared velv little done in these mines since the discovery of the California deposits, although a number of mines are wrought irom iiamax to Cherokee. The mineral is found in various gangues, besides the free gold of the drift or the gravel beds; chiefly in quartz, quartzitic slates, and conglomerates,talcose slates, fel- s pa tic slates, limestone and gneiss.

Terre Haute Express. A middle-aged lady met a bridish lookinglady in the postoffice yes terday, and the following conver sation followed : "Mary, is it true that your mother is dead ?" asked the former. "It is," said Mary. "And were you married before she died?" "No," said Mary, "not until three days after." The middle-aged woman stared at the bride for a moment, and slowly and bewilderingly said : "Do you mean to say that your poor mother died without without seeing what you were married in ?" Banbury News. We have already said that the crowns in heaven are all the gifts of grace, and yet at the same time it is true that those who have the crowns have fought for them : "These are they that came out of great tribulation." It was not that tribulation procured them, their crowns ; still it seems to be a rule the usual rule in God's church that those of his servants who are to be rewarded should work, and those who are to be crowned should tight. At any rate, if ou and I suppose we shall get the crown without contending lor it, we shall find ourselves mistaken. Spur-geou. A man's abilities do not measure the usefulness of his life, any more than the size of the tree determines the amount of fruit it is sure to ripen.

We build fleets of ships and splendid steamers to develop the trades of the Antipodes ; we send abroad to the uttermost parts of the earth rich cargoes of our handiwork ; we send forth our skilled miners to dig for ores or work the coal-fields of barbarian countries1, tens of thousand of miles away; we send our operatves to erect and work factories where theirs is the only skilled labour. und only their lips can speak the language of civilization. Westretch the girdles of intelligence about the earth, and send our giant cable-lay ing fleet to every sea and ocean ; we build railways for all the world, and lavish untold millions not only in enterprises which are roll iug for ward the world's progess at a fear ful pace, but oftentimes in far-away schemes which only exist as evi dences of our English pluck and en prise. And yet here almost at our very doors, scarce three thou sand miles away, within some ten days of our shores is a land which was once our own richer, far rich er, in soil, and minerals, and tim ber, and all the the crude elements of wealth and prosperity, than any country with which we have rela tions, and only requiring the mag ic touch of Capital to become the paradise of earth ! Why is it that North Carolina, possessing natural advantages superior to any other State in the American Union, has been so long kept in the back ground ? And why has she permit ted other less-iavourea states, to eclipse her in prosperity and popu lation ? The problem is easy of so lution. In the first place, the in stitution of slavery offered an in- aperabie tibstscieta vnnigfteet sna not particularise her well, known ana rich companies.

Dr. Johnson, when in the fullness of years and knowledge said: "I never take up a newspaper without finding something I would have deemed it a loss to not have seen ; never without deriving from it instruction and amusement." The newspapers in Johnson's time were meager enough compared with those of to-day. Now a yearly newspaper volume is a perfect encyclopedia. Flame Sensitive to Sound.' Some curious experiments were made, a few years ago, by Prof. Tyndall, on "sensitive flames." He observed that in a dnwing-room the gas-light kept time with the music by their flames becoming longer or shorter, according to the various notes produced on the piano. This he justly attributed to the vi brations caused in the air, and he soon, by direct experiment, con firmed this view. TkkMXperiraent was applied to the measure of ex plosive substances in ,the following way : At a distance of five meters from a flame he placed ta anvil, on which he alternately lil fulminate of mercury and jodida cf nitrogen, and then caused thelrtpi0sion by tho stroke of a hammtr. in this way he ascertained that the laf ter substance produced nq effect on the flame, while the iuiniuiate caused it to vibrate according to the notes lai do. ml. fa. sol. wnre he con cluded, not o4llfan affected by theiodkle were different frOm those of th fulminate,, but also that those of tho latter only af fected certain notes, excluding the tntprmpdiftk' ones. Thefe experi ments he repeated wiui ainerent One reason why Christianity has so little success in the world is be cause professing Christians subor dinate it to so many other consider ations. Local residence occupa tion, friendship, marriage, are set tled, and the question of religion goes for little or nothing.

Let one but glance at a map of the Atlantic States.and he will readily appreciate what we have to advance. North Carolina, it will be seen, lies between two great systems of foreign and inter nal communication. Possessing herself the most central and com manding position of any State in the Union, she has permitted the great sea of prosperity and progress, which for the last half century has swept Westward on the North American Continent, to roll by her in two distant waves one to the South of her and the other to the North. We will leave the Gulf States out of question in discussing this problem, merely calling atten to the fact that New Orleans main ly owes her prosperity to the great natural highway of the Mississippi River, Mobile to Alabama, and of later years Galveston to the fact that, noor as it is. Texas has nooth- pr harbour. Passing Florida as of trifling importance we come to fienrffia. This State and her prin cipal seaport,Savannah, owe most of tneir prosperity iu mt, vivuigit an tral Railroad, and the internal rail way system connected with it. She has a large foreign commerce, and in time will be rich and powerful. The rjolicv of her people has been to make tier the great highway from the Atlantic to Northern Alabama, and they have been wise in so do ing. Next we come to South Caro lina, with her Grand Trunk Rail wav bearing the State name, and all its ramifications, stretching away towards Alabama and Ten nessee, and stiving to make Char leston the -Southern metropolis? For the. present we make no com ments upon this afflicted State, fur thantosay that she must purify net political system.' and her color ed citizens must learn the value of her citieenshlp and an honest nauss before they can. expect that foreign aid which , they . desire, to restore, their, financial system and develop their resources.

In our allusions to any su- piness ox ner own citizens we would not include all, and we pause a mo ment to do justice to those North Carolinians who originated her present imperfect railway system. and early saw the neeessity'for a grand trunk line from Beaufort to Tennessee, with lines of steamers to Europe. We do reverence to the Gastons. the Caswells. ; the More- heads, and the great men of the past who thoroughly understood and appreciated this great question ana we havo laitn to believe that their descendants and successors will yet carry out the mighty work lor which they wrought and toiled. and to which they devoted the best energies of their lives. There are but two things now required to start tne wheels or progress in North Carolina, and roll her on to the road of continued prosperity. The first is a thorough reorganisa tion of her State finances and a final settlement of all her liabilities good and bad. The second is the completion of her Grand Trunk Railway from Beaufort Harbor to the Tennesse Line, with direct con nections to Memphis and with the Southern Pacific Railway. Some few of the leading citizens of North Carolina have been quietly and earnestly engaged for over a year in endeavoring to discover a prac ticable solution of these two impor tant subjects. We have faith to believe that their efforts are draw ing near to a realisation. The first by a scheme which is now under consideration among some eminent fiinanciers; the second through an organisation which was chartered by the last General Assembly under the name of "The Midland North Carolina Railway Company." The gentleman who has been deputed to present these matters to our London capitalists has been wisely chosen. We have known him for n. Quarter- of a century, and have regarded lb Ho m poneennlng' rjne Of ' tHu usiu ru m ' lurTilMfictaf JIHUtlg of any person we have ever met. We have never known his sagacity to be at fault in a single instance to which he has given his' careful at tention : and he possesses the rare quality of never permitting any personal advantage to influence him where public interests, or the interests of others,, have been en trusted to his care. Before leaving the subject for the present, we de sire to call the attention of North Carolina bondholders and the pub lic to the fact that there is a strong party in that State who openly favor repudiation, and to suggest that they await the action of those who are engaged in the more laudable work of endeavoring to redeem the honor of the State. At the same time the fact must not be lost sight of that there are very large sums of unauthorized and illegal bonds afloat, and it is feared also counter feit and spurious bonds, as well as over-issues. The wisest course will be then to abstain from all transac tions in North Carolina State secur ities until the final action of her authorities is known, which we presume will be next spring. We trust that our City cotemporaries and Continental friends will give currency to this view, as we are quite certain no settlement could be made upon speculatively en hanced values. This subject is of too grave importance and too great magnitude to bring within the compass or a smgie anicie, anu hence we trusty ere long to resume it, only we hope ina more definite form as to immediate results. On Thursday, the f 17th inst., certain amendments to nhe Constitution were submitted to the popular vote of the citizens of North Carolina, and, we have no question, were carried. These amendments were a part of the comprehensive plan to which we have referred for an ulti mate adjustment of the . State fi nances. Let the foreign creditors of this honorable old State but re flect upon the fact that a large pro portion of her present citizens were taxable property, instead of tax paying citizens when the majority of this debt was incurred. Ha vast a producing and ta.xa.bLa property being swept away, can the white tax-oaver be otherwise than em barrassed? Having had no part in making - the debt can the black tax-payer be blamed for refusing to be taxed for it? These are complex nnestions. and the creditors of North Carolina must be patient till the wise and earnest minds who have taken the matter iu . l and have time to bring them to a solu tion which will be acceptable to the taxpayers of the State old ana new.

Editors Watchman: For some time past I have been impressed with the fact that the cultivation of onions from the seed for planting purposes, such as are familiarly known as little onions, might be made a profitable industry in this section, and now I am glad to be able to report a mast successful venture in their cultivation. Last Spring I sold to Mr. Wm. Howard ol this place, anu wno is ,uy tne way one of our most tailcrprLMiig and progressive citizens, onu pound of Yellow Strasburg Onion m.i d, for $3, which he sowed iu his gar den, between the regular rows of cabbages, thus losing no ground at all, the whole occupying th ree .-i , i n beds four ana a nan by nitceu u et. The crop required no cultivation except careful weeding, and tii.j re sult was ol bushels of beautiful and very marketable Utile onions, lor which I paid him Scents per quart, amounting in all to $l('.7w. Mr. Howard deserves great credit lor thus successfully and practically demonstrating the feasibility of this culture. I trust that moio of our people will turn their attention to it next year. These onioiu for planting are usually worth in Phil adelphia from $.'1.75 to $0 per bushel, often commanding the latter figure. Nor is there any danger of over stocking the market, as tho trade from Richmond to Atlanta might be supplied from this point, with a very little exertion. Our people ought to pay more attention to this kind of farming, requiring so little labor or capital and yielding such handsome profits, and it is in the hope of stimulating them to do so, that this hurried communication is written. - Tueo.
