It is a railroad centre, has foundries, machine shops, &:iw mills, .furniture factories, cotton factories, rice mills, and an ice factory. It is a great lumber market. The large saw mills he-re and in the country are supplied with timber from the great forests near by and by forestmen who raft, logs down Xer.se river. And, my, my, what grand timber it is ! 1 saw some fccalToiding the workmen put around the courthouse to do some woik.uml the single pieces of straight heart pine stretched clear to tlie top of the great two story building, and I don't knew how much was cut off ihe top end.

Tir.ck farniing is becoming paite a vaiuibli Industry here. Tiie suc cess cf it lias in the diversification of the crops. They make a crop of sugar pe- :S, then a crop of beans, and th-.u a crop of cotton or corn on the same bind. Many broad fields that last fall I saw in cotton are now ripening o.:" a crop of beans, but n.-.-.t November they will be tvhite Kith the living snow. To see the Irish potato fields down here would paralyze .John Cook, of the poor house, in his boots, and a glimpse at a peach orchard here would provoke Capt. McDonald to one cf his good natured chuckles.

About the only service he ren ders his party now is to out wind old Sol and cause him to set before he its through with his speech, thus preventing his Democratic op ponent from makiDg a spec:h. I have seen him walk the streets of Goldsboro without a coat or vest, with his shirt sleeves rolled up and his collar laid open two or three but tons deep.

I think if I was to stay in this country long the mos'piitos would take me, dead or alive. The have held several caucuses just outside of my room to arrange a course of pro cedure. I think they have taken the plan of old and are marching around the wail tooting their trum pets. If they are not expecting the walls to fail they are waiting for the door to be opened or the sash raised. The sand ily is worse than the mos quito. Xow, the mosquito will wait to place hi3 feet in good position be fore he bite3 you, but the sand fly will bite you before he alights. I liaye had my hand drawn when I saw one was going to sit down on me, and before I could strike he had bit ten me. Pespectfully, J. F. Newell. Goldsbore, N. C, June ?. Youim. lint Anxion tor Dcnlli."
