Carolina determined upon a representation at the Institute fair it wsis not simply to show to the people of the north, and to residents of Massachusetts in particular, the curious and interesting products of that State. The business men were alive to the , future pros perity of the State, and to luring about this prosperity it was necessary to st cure the co-operation of the worfciugmen and capitalists of the north. For some years the tide of emigration has been towards the west, due in the great measure to the speeial efforts put forth and the particular inducements offered by western railroad and land agents. Daring this time the southern states have not made any effort to secure immigration, and the consequence has bten that the great natural re sources of the State have not been developed. The mining business, which might be made by an ordinary outlay of cap ful and energy a very important industry of the state, is comparatively neglected, and : al though the state is lich in building stones, yet little effortjhas been made to briu g them into the market. North Carolina has a very beautiful agricultural region, well watered, and thousand of acres of valuable com icercial woods, and northern men and capital only are needed to devel op the natural resources of the state. With this idea in view, and with a feeling of the grave importance of the matter the exhibit of the Boston fair was collected. This was done by nine gentlemen, who personally visi ted the various sections of the state and procured the articles for the ex hibit. Tie nuggets of gold were purchased from the country stores, where they had been traded tor nec essary household supplies, l the building stones and marbles were largely secured from undeveloped or neglected quarries. The cereals, cotton and tobacco were taken from some of the highest cultivated plan tations in the state. The forestry exhibition is a remarkable one, and the entire display was collected with care, with the intention of practically showing the valuable character of the timber lands, and offering in ducements to emigrants and capi talists. THE MINERALS, ORES AND GEMS, The minerals, ore?, building stones and gems form an important part 'of the general exhibit: None of the budding stents wtTe taken from quarries that are at present worked to any extent, but are simply blocks taken largely from the surface and brought to Boston and polished here. The granita shows up well, and some very peculiar specimens are seen, in cluding a very coarse stone withlarge green f-p-'ts. A curious stone, called leopardite, from its odd tracings and spots, resembling a leopard's skin s ttraets much attention. The pecu liar markings are due to segregations of manganese, and the stone, which is a coutbination of quaitz and porphyry, is very handsome when polished. Sandstones, both light and red, some very fine in texture, are displayed in blocks. In marbles are seen some fine specimens, includ ing very delicate flesh and dove col ored pieces. The marble industry is not developed at all, and tbe hand some blocks exhibited are only pie ces knocked from the surface reins. Asbestos, barita, the mineral largely used in adulterating white lead; kali nite, the base of China ware, are 1 among the other commerci&i imner als observed. There are large quan tities from all these found in certain sections of the state, but at present little is done in quarrying and plac ing the product in the market. Co. rundum, which is used in the manu facture of emery, is another mineral that exists in liberal quantities, still, notwithstanding its commercial value, but little effort has been put forth to develop tbis mining enterprise. Manganese, natural stove blacking in the form of pure graphite, are shown in considearble quantities. The iron ores demand special atteni tion, and almost all the varieties are shown, many of which are of a very fine grade. As in all of the other mining in dustries, this branch is very impen fectly conductedj In fact, there are 26 , 1883. but two mines in first class running order. About forty lots are shown, nearly all from the middle and west ern portions of the state. A "pow dered iron," so called, is shown that assays 68.82 per cent, pure iron, and is exhibited in a large quantity, fine1 ly granulated and in blocks that crumble readily between the hands. Bituminous coal, bright width good cleavage, from Stokes and Chatham counties, illustrates this interest of the state. The exhibit of native gold and gold bearing minerals at tracts much notice. The gold ob tained from Montgomery and Stanley counties is the free milling, and from the other counties this pecicus metal is only obtained in the form of sul phurets. Several trays in glass cases show the gold in nuggets, some of which are large and valuable. The three largest weigh 110, 90, and iifi penny -weights respectively, although nuggets considerably larger are some times secured. Free gold is also shown in quartz and slate. Gold" bearing sulphuret? and pyrites are shown from Rowan and Cabarrus counties. The free gold is obtained from Rutherford, Montgomery and Caldwell countie". Copper is eshib ited in the native pine and in various combinations,and was obtained from the middle and western sections of the etae. There is now i ne large, profitable mine operated by northern men in Ashe county, employing 500 men. Silver and lead ores are displayed in great abundance, togeth er with a very extended exhibit oi mica. Eighth IMstr let's Choieefttr ftovernor. Baleigh Chronicle. A she and Alexander. Not heard from.

Dockery ; second choice, R. P. Dick. Caldwell Co., Lenoir. The majority of the Democrats prefer that tried and true and genial states man, that has never sought office, but has served his country faithfully in every position to which he has been called The Hon. Ii. F. Armfield, of Statesville. The West should have the Governor. There is scarcely a corporal's guard of Republicans here, but I learn that either York or Price, or any other Liberal, will suit them. Clevelakd Co., Shelby. So far Scales seems to be the most promi nent Democrat for Governor, though the eyes of a great many are turned towards W, M. Bobbins, who is very popular in the West in spite of his late defeat. The Republicans have no preference. They feel very much encouraged by the amazing strength developed for their candidates in the election last fall. Nothing but a little exertion, however, is needed to insure Democratic success, Gaston Co., Dallas R. B. Vance, first; Scales, second. Don't know about Republicans and can't find, out. VvVtkxsaA Co., Boone. In all the mountain section of the. State, especially in Watauga, Robert B. Vance is the first choice for Govern or, and no doubt the strongest man the Democrats could run. Second choice, Octavius Coke. First Repub lican choice, J? J. Mott. Wilkes Co., Wilkesboro. Nothing has been said about the campaign. Scales, I think, would be acceptable to the Democrats. Lixcoxk.

Baltimsra Sun A new fast freight line, to be known as the ''Great Southern Dis patch, "is now being organized by the East Tennessee,Virginiaand Georgia, Norfolk and Western, Shenandoah Valley. Western Maryland, Cumber land Valley and Pennsylvaia Rail roads, to run between all Southern and Southwestern points and Balti more. Philadelphia and New York. No announcer&ent has yet been made of the time of inaugurating the line; but it will doubtless be ready .-for business within the next thirty days. The line will start with 500 cars pro vided by the several companies in proportion to their interested mile age. This is the first through South ern freight line ever established with Baltimore, and in that respect it is to the business community the most im portant railroad movement contem plated for some time. The East and West fast freight lines of the Penn sylvania, Baltimore and Ohio and the other trunk lines are conspicuously known everywhere and their business is enormous. The main stem of the new Great Southern Dispatch will be 1,100 miles Ion?, from New York to Chata nooga, or Selma, but its cars will be sent to all points east of New York and over the South and Southwest. There will be no limit in the number of its cars which can be commanded by the Baltimore trade, for the mile-, age proportion assigned to the Wes tern Maryland will have nothing to do with that matter. If Baltimore gives sufficient business to employ 300 cars she will get them. The Pennsylvania has entered into the compact on behali of the Cumberland Valley, from Hagarstown to Harris burg,its main line from there to Phil adelphia, and the United Railroads of New Jersey to New York. The Western Maryland joins the combi nation in the interest of . RaHimore, which as fast freights are run, will have about twenty -four hours advan tage in titce over New York, and a fair recognition in the matter of low rates over more distant Eastern points. The several companies are having the car3 assigned for the line painted and lettered according to the adopted designs, and in a few days a sample car will be sent to the Wes tern Maryland from the Shenandoah Valley shops at Roanoke, Va. The Western Maryland has largely in creased its Southern traffic the pres ent year, and the organization of the fast freight line, with that company included in it, is no doubt partly due to the successful efforts of its officers in developing that branch of trade. Why tten. Wallace Wrote "Ben Hur." An intimate friend of Gen. Lew. Wallace gives the following, telling how "Ben Hur" came to be written: 'Before and for some time after the war Gen Wallace was inclined to be skeptical on religious matters, par. ticularly as to the divinity of Christ Chance one day, while traveling on a railroad, threw him in company with Col Ingersoll, the infidel. JTheir conversation turned on religious top ics, and in the course of their dis cussion Ingersoll presented his views. Wallace listened and was much im pressed, but finally remarked that he was not yet prepared to agree with Ingeysoll on certain very extreme propositions relative to the non divin ity of Christ. Ingersoll urgod Wal lace to give the matter careful study and research that he had expressing his confidence that Wallace would, after so doing, fully acquiesce in the Ingersoll view. After parting W al lace turned the matter over in his mind and determined to give it the most thorough investigation. For six years he thought, studied and search ed. At the end of that time 'Ben II ur was produced. I met Wallace at a hotel in Indianapolis not long after the book had been published. The book was naturally the topic of our conversation. After having told me the story I have just given. Wallace turned to me and said: The result of my long study was the absolute con riction that Jesus of Nazareth was not only a Christ and the Christ, but that he was also my Christ, my Saviour, and my Redeemer. That fact settled in my own mind, I wrote 'Ben Hur. " New York Frenchmen think that the Count of Paris will ba ths next President f France, NO. 8. A DEPASTURE, gtteav-ill LirS. We are gilered to it announced that Mr. Patrick Henry Winston, Jr., of Winston, has sevred bis connec tion with the Democratio prty and anited -imself with tbe Republicans. The natural inquiry will be, "who is w:nstonf" But nerer mind Nbout that. Tbe fact that he has found it expedient to print a card argues that be is a person cf more than ordinary consequence, Joes it notf and that his leaving is a matter ef grave public concern. When John Smith and Bill Jones change their politics they never print any cards, because, with coming modesty, they argue to themselves that their political ratiocinations ere not calculated to occasion great upheavals; but when Large lsaics change their colors it is customary ; for them to let their lellow-citizeus know of it ; and as these are tbe t rules that govern (be two classes, the conviction is forced upon us that Mr, Winston is one of the Big Ikes, But 1 lest our readers, a they must be, by a deeire to know more about him, should conclude that this clusgitiea tion does not sufficiently identify him, we wiir&dd that Mr. Winston, of Winston, is a lawyer, and is known to fame as the son of his father and as a delegate to the national Demo cratic convention which met at St. Louis in 1876 and nominated Tilden an i Hendricks. lie acquired promi nence in tbat body, accordiug to a story of his own telling, in this wise : While , a certain eminent statesman was addressing the convention, a certain, person passed rapidly amon tbe delegates, none of them knowing who be was, and whispered to as many of theuras be could rccdi, to "call for Winston." Wbn tbt speaker concluded, one universal shout went up for 'WTinston 3 Win ston 1H Patrick Henry mounted the platform and was anlimbering for a epeecb, whes a delegate, wilti a shrill voice, screamed out from tbe middle of tbe ball, -Why, thal'e tbe vsry d d little rascal tbat told us to eall for W iustou !" It is probable that it is the emi nence won on tli at occaoiou lliat warrants Mr. Winston in printing a card. True, he once had a situation unoer the Democratic party in tbe folding department of tbe House of Representatives at Washington, but that of itself, does not make a man distinguished. At all events Mr. Winston, as remaiked already, has printed a card. We Lave not read it; lije is short. But it was due (be Democratic parly tha, under the circa mstan ces, a card siiould have been printed. Suppose it had ne into tbe next campaign not knowing until after it ws too late to recede, that Mr. Winston was not with it? Sergeant Brown, a man of prowess, told after the war, tbat jast ou the very eve of tbe battle of Gettysburg, when everything was in readiness for t be charge, Gen, Lse called down tbe line, Is Sergeant Brown on hand ?' Tbe response went back, "yes." "Well then," exclaimed tbe general as tbe look of anxiety passed out of his f e, let tbe battle proceed." " Suppose Sergeant Brown bad not been there and Gen. Lee had not known ir until he inquired? Aai then suppose Chairman Cbke oa ducting a campaiga next year, and not learning, ontiltbe last minute,' that Mr. ineton was uoton hand?
