We made the ptedivtßu two yeara ago,
that we would have a railroad graded
from tbi> place to Walnut Cove by the
time the road was completed from Greens
boro to the lattei place; but believe oow
that wo were mistaken iu our views ol
men and things. Wc based our calcu
lations ou lbs belief that when it wus
known that any road would bo built to
Walnut (jove, that partie- owning tile
valuable iron properly iu the neighbor
hood of Datibury would go to work aud
develop that property, and that capital
ists would purchase mil build the road
for their owu convenience, which would
be • very great convenience to us, as well
as * source of wealth to the S'ate. But
is this we were mistaken iu all exoept
the capitalists did come, aud went, and
others came, examined the ores and ex
pressed themselves as being perfectly
satisfied with the quality, but in iron
quality M worth nothing without quan
tity, and this we could not convince
them existed here, because we Oould uol
show it. Sotne of us know that beds of
solid iron ore exists here, from two or
three, to six, eight, tea or fifteen feet
thick, as rich as the samples we show,
and with which tho iron men are so well
pleased But when they waut to see
the vsios or lodes Wc cannot show a sin
gle vein, but must cooieut ourselves by
telling these would be purchasers it is
tbar, we have seed it, and know that it
is thar Al a matter of course, these
men will uot spend their money for
what they cannot see, neither will they
build railroads for our convenience, un
less they sec some probability of being
benefited themselves. This property is
not owned by our countymen, but is eon- |
trolled tv parties living out of (he ooan- j
ty, who will uot work thetaeolvef:, nor do- j
vclop so tuat uicu who would purchase
and work can soe what they are speed,
ing money fot. This u uufortunaio for
the county, for while our only hope of
geltiog a Railroad lies buried iu theso
rich iron deposits. Those who control
thij iaterest, are setting back seemingly
indifferent, waiting for souuLbing to turn
up, or hoping that the people will build
the road that will coable them (the
owners of this t/uu valuable property)
to realize fortunes out of it. It seems
to us that they will wait and hope in
rain, if tbat is their expectation, but i!
they would realize any profit from their
investment in their time, they had bet
ter go to work like they moan business,
and show what lies Lurried beneath the
hills, aud whto meu can see tbey will
purchase, and not until then.
We are beginning to entertain grave j
apprehensions for the iif'o of the Presi j
dent. It may be tbat of late wo have '
been too sanguine of his early recovery I
and that the present unfavorable symp- i
toms have swayed us too far on the other
side, lint n» do not understand the
dispatches at all. The doctors say every
eveniag that be slept well—iudetd they
• tell the country day after diy that n»
'reposed sweetly." But, notwithstan
ding, the patieot grows weaker, his fever
continues, his temperature is siccsjnelj
high, and bis general condition seems
to us bad —very bad. Others speak of
his extreme debility, ani tell ns that
despite the fact that lie slept "sweetly,"
he had a severe Might sweat; and with
out douot tho fever is very high and
long continued. What is tho occasion
of the fever appears to be ptoblcmatical
The doc tors.do not prouounce it's cause.

SEEDLESS MELONS.— A gentleman
informed us yesterday that he was in
Florida cn ono occasion, during the
melon season, wbeu he was aaked to be
oome one of a party who were about to
commence an onslaught opoo some very
fine watermelons These melons, he
said, were perfectly seedless, and upon
inbuity how they could be raised iu that
way, he received this explanation from
one of the party, who was euabied by
practical experience to give the necessa
ry information : ' When the vino has
eommcueed running," said he, "and the
branches have attained to Some consid
crable length, thru* a quantity of dirt
upon one or more of the joints of tho
branches, wheo th#y wi.l shortly take
