The more we reflect npmi the subject of connecting our principal leaport with (lit Mississippi V alley and ilia Great Lakes, the more are we impressed with tbe grandeur and practicability of the enterprise. Indeed, the route we pro pose, besides being the shortest, is at the sauio time the easiest that can be found. Whoever has travelled ovor the Baltimore and Ohio road will remember what tremendous obstacles nature had placed in. the way of iis construction. Besides the numerous and cxpeusivc tunnel" necessary to complete its pas sage through the AUeghauics, it was absolutely impossible to And a way across North Mountain which would ob viate the necessity of such steep grades as to require "heifers," or additional engines, in order to carry over its trains ; thus entailing enormous expenses for ail tirtie, as well as lengthening the time of transit. Aud inu greater or less degree the same difficulties were presented on every other line. Tunnels that cost millions were required; and grades which immensely impair the facilities for transportation and therefore augment its cost, could not be avoided by the utmost skill of engineers. But on the routo we propose, nature herself, as with a prescient view to the progress of civilization and needs of the great nation which has sprung up on this continent, has prepared an open way on the shortest line between the Atlan tic an 1 the Great Northwest for the eon-1 ■traction of a railway thoroughfare. The New Htver, rising in this State and eventually emptying its waters into the Ohio, flows from Southeast to North west throughout the greater part of its course, and cuts through both the North Mountain and the main Alleghany ridge, betvtecn New River Bridge and Point Pluasaut. on the Ohio, while the Blue Ridge between here and New River Bridge can be crossed on a grade .not exceeding 40 feet to the mile ; thus of fering a passage for an air line road free from steep grades and costly tunnels over thu entire distance from Wilmington to Toledo. Now, if God knows best, as we are all ac customed to believe, surely this singular provision of Nature, bringing the inland seas and the great valley of thia continent into cloae and easy con nection with the ocean, contains no un important signification ; aud we may look forward to a rpoedy realization of the will of Providence iu tlie ear'y de velopment of this most important sec tion of eur country, if we will only im prove the opportunities God has given us. At the eastern terminus of thia route we find the city of Wilmington, surroun ded by a couutry singularly adapted to the production of rmval stores, and with in easy reach of every species of timber used in naval construction —a sea-port, iu fine, situate? in the very midst of everything neccs3ary for the supply of a great commercial navy. >Back of Wil mington, on this line we find every min eral and wood of value in the arts, aud every natural product for the supply of the physical wants of man, and these in greater abundance than in any other quarter of the globe. Moreover, we find the mechanical forces supplied by streams to an extent sufficient for the the manufacture oi every article known to commerce in quantities great enough to meet the demands of the world ; and as if to complete the supreme advantages of this route, that it crosses every other great thoroughfare between the Atlantic and tbe Mississippi, thus giving connec tions ad infinitum, while it would have no competing parallel route. Tho ben efits of this road would be great, indeed, to this immediate vicinity ; but to Wil mington, which Providence seems thus to have pointed out as the entrepot of commerce between tho Old World and the New, the hsa*#t» would be incalcla ble. To Favetteville and Greensboro, they would be immense. The growth of these cities would insure the de- 1 velopment of the whole State, and the : upbuilding of ORr cities in tbe only means ' by whioh the State can bo developed;! for it is one of tho best established facts in the history of nations that no State ever became permanently prosperous or powerful until at least one great city had arisen within its borders. The in telligence and enterprise of a great city, radiating as the warm and fructifying rays of tbe sun, are as indispensable to the material growth of the surrounding country, as the sun-beams are to tbe growing vegetation. What would Greece have been with out Athens 1 or Itely without Rome ? Who would aver have beard of the Jews had there been no Jerusalem 1 And to COM down ta later tines, what would England have been without London ? or Prance without Paris 1 The French king who said, "Paris is Ptaac*," utter ed a deeper troth than is generally ■apposed. Iu this country, it is the Western trade that builds uponr seaports which, in turn, build up the States in which they lie. The trade of New York State alone never could have built up New York city; but the oity, commanding the import and export trade of the Great West through the Krie Canal and nu merous railroads, has created around itself the densest and thriftiest popula tion on tbe continent. Wilmington isst least-00 miles nearer to the centric, papulation of the United States tbau New York city ; and hence being a seaport it has in the mere matter of proximity alone, an advantage, which, if properly wielded,nothing on earth can over come. Therefore wc say in conclusion that this connection with the Northwest is of infinite importance to the whole S'ate of North Carolina, and we beg our friends to aid us in securing it as speedily as possible. If any one can name an easier routo. or one in any way superior to that wo propose, wc shall cheerfully give in our adhesion to- it. Or Halt Some of the developments made at Washington before Vance's committee arrest attention. It appears that James 11. Harris, the leading colored politician of Ndrtb Carolina, jras borne on Dr. Mott's hook! as a gxuger of Something of the sort, and was paid as a govern ment employee in the revenue service for niue months at $125 per month, while in truth he was merely doing poli cal work for his party or for some faction in his party. Mr. A. B. Gillospie, a ganger, and formerly a deputy colleotor up in that district, declined to testify before the committee because he might criminate himself. The testimony of I other employees in that district to the tbe effect that they had received but small sums., when the vouchers aud books of tbo bureau state that much more was paid them, indioatas that for gery as well as fraud was practiced some where. Under these circumstances it is clear why so opposition was manifested to an investigation of the sixth distiiot. It is well enough to bear some «f tho. figures iu mind. For tho year ending September 30, 1877, the oxpenses in Dr. Mo U's district were $49,545, and the receipt* ware $238,- 653. For the year ending September 30, 1880, the oxpeuios were $205,778 and the receipts were $455,457. There had been a gradual increase in the re ceipts during these three years averag ing $70,000 a year, and there was like wise a gradual increase in tbe expenses averaging $52,000 a year. It took about >L to collect $4.50, or, to pnt it anothor way, it took about twenty dollars to collect one hnndred dollar*. Bless us, tbe lawyers would have col lcetrtd it (or five dollars in the hundred, but Dr. Mott took twenty dollars- That 1 was in the latter days of 1877. Bu: in 1880 it was even worse. Jr. Mott, ' during the year coding September, 1880, spent forty-five dollars to collect every 1 hundred. In three years be had in creased his expenses fourfold, while he had not doubled his receipts. Nor did 1 he end tbcrc. The next year covered ' the period of tbe Presidential election. 1 Aud during that canvass the bureau made the money fly. Dr. Mott increas- | ed his expenses $63,551, but increased ' his receipts only $13,908. As for the increased receipts they were very costly, ' ; for it took Dr. Mott $l5O to collect ev- I SIOO of these additional receipts. The 1 gross expenses in the year ending Sep tember 30, 1881, were $209,424, and ! the gross receipts $490,455. Comput ing the whole business of the office it cost $54 to collect every hundred dollars, and as for the additional receipts of that yenr they cost the government $l5O for every SIOO it received. That was the year of the Presidential election. Now bow about all that money ? What would be a good fee for a lawyer to collect $499,(>00. Twenty thousand dollars would begarded a large fee. And yet Dr. Mott made it coat the government $209,000, thirteen times as much! The coat of all the courts of North Car olina to the Stato is only about $40,000. Tbe salaries of the «i«wtivo officers aud employee* is only about $20,000. . Tbe pay of the sheriffs Jh the ninty-foer counties iu the Stato for coke ting three , time* what Dr. Mott collected jrf only $75,000. The sheriffs wtmld have 1 collected tbe same money for $25,000. Dr. Mott spent in nit diatrict for collec ting $199,000, $209,000. Wo don't wonder that be is a great man in the Radical conventions.. ' , ■ . In the Republican convention they said be was the best Republican in tbe State and madatthim. ohairinan of the Republican Executive Committee by acclamation. We take it that be is a fair representative, and tibia endorsement of him by'kia party make* his record of unusual importance. The Republican convention npprovse and endorses thia record when they make biaa their chair man. But what do the people think of it!— Jfmmtmd Observer. C. R.

A fine tree iu Jamaica has over 4,000 nutmegs on it every year. The Dutoh used to have all this nutmeg trade, as they owned the lianda Islands and conquered alt the other traders, aud destroyed the trees. To keep the price up they once burned throe piles of butiuegs, each of which was as a church. .Nature did hot sym pathize with such meanness. The uut lu'g pigeon found in all the Indian is lands, did for the world what the Dutch determined should not be done—carried those nuts, which are their food, into all the sourruunding countries, and trees grew again, and the world Lad the ben efit. We have not met a single Democrat "in gc>od standing" who wilj.tolerat« for a moment the cruel Radical project of placing ifew Hanover and olhur L wtoru counties under the control of the negroes again. Like meu of sense they know that such a course will result in a swift and heavy increase of taxes and a return i of all the ecrrupting agencies that were 'at work prior to 1879. They rugard as the Star does, such a proposition as pregnant with unnumbered woes. They have drank deep before of the cup given ' them by negro douiinancy, and they have not forgotten its intense bitterness. | That any persons calling themselves' Democrats, in view of the damning rec i ords that will not out, can for a moment entertain such a proposition is indeed very strange. We shall be ready to hear them advancing anything, however load ed with danger.— Wit. Star. The remarks of Senator llale, who presided over the Maine Republican Con vention last week, indicate that the Blaine wing of the Republican party it as far as ever from being rcoonciled to the Stalwart or Administration wing. In referring to President Arthur, lisle said that he (the President) "belonged to that portion of the Republioan party which is now ia more of a minority than ever, and of whieh be believed it will be hoaliiifal for American politics if it re in that minority." This is good war talk. As Arthur has taken up with the Mahonites of Vir ginia and the Anti-Prohibitionists of North Carolina, and proposes to form feilsr allliaaoes in other States, Blaine ! « (! l.aL -Bu lie New Vork Half Breeds way ss well coma over to the Con servative Democrats. One of the resolutions that figures conspicuously in those passed by the so-eallecf "Liberal-anti-l'rohibition" Convention, on the Tth inst., is that op posing the present system of county government, and demanding that all the officers be elefited by the people. This | is simply a piece of demagoguism on the part of the Republioan managers and a ruse to divide the Democratic party in the coming contest. They don't care a snap of the finger whether the prdncnt county system continues or not, and they would prefer that if did if they were certain of carrying the next Legislature and thus getting control of the appoint ing power. Their object in springing it at this time, and placing themselves in in the attitude of especial champions of the elective franehise is to array the West against the Kaat on that question. —Charlotte 06* freer. The Government, as sbeiped and di rected by the Republican party since 1864, has created two elaaeet in the United States—capitalists and laborers, noblemen and serfs, landholders and beg gars, railway kings and tramps. Each torn of the crank of Republican legisla tion makes ene great lord of banks or mils, or raihMqrr rrt telegraphs -as «f bonds, and at the same instant and by the same prowess ten thousand beggars.

It is an evident tact that farmer's wives are afflicted with many diseases which are the result of ovi .ork. They are constantly on ono ceaseless r tine of toil from daylight at morning vntil : late at night. No change, no relax. .. . !no rest! Farmers should note this fact, i «» dbe forwarneti before it is too late, j It is astouishmg what an amount of la bor the wivos of farmers perform. Many of them got up and have breakfast ready before their hgebands are out ef bed. Then it is work, work until"hear mid night, their minds during the tiftio be ing constantly occupied with their du ties, and with thinking of how the food is to be supplied, when the washing and ironing is to be done, when time can be spared to scrub the floor, how the chil dren are to be clothed and kept tidy, and innumerable other things not neces sary to mention, all of wlli'ptt combine to overwork and break down the strong est woman in the land.' In no case is it safe to bo continuously thinking upon any one thing, and in eases Where the brain has been weakoned by too great a strain upou it, thereby producing insan ity, epilepsy, vertigo, hysterics, female weakness, general debility, and a mul titude of other diseases, tho remedy is Rest and a few bottles of Dr. S.
