A Vivid Account of Its Deliv ery by an Eye-Witness - Prof. Tyler's Biog : raphy of Henry. UN1VEESITY OF lip ETH CAEOLI NA. - Chapel Hill, July 20,' '90. A recent article in the News and Observer gives currency to the suggestion that Patrick Henry' fiery"; njeech "Glye me.liberty, or give uirr death," was never in fa:t delivered by thei great orator in the shape that we see; but was af terwaids composed by William Wirt and inserted as a sort of pi-: ous fraud. in his Li te of Patrick Henry." v -'1 A careful reading of Wirt's biog raphy fails to suggest any evidence to my mind tliat he essentially ch Hied the language of Patrick Henry. The intrinsic itnprobabil i y of such a thing is very great, for what ' evidence, have we tha t Wirt could province in the silence of his closet one of the most im passioned bursts of fiery-eloquence that ever fell from human lips I Such a speecirrequired an audi ence, an occasion and an orator, and these were all to hand in the Virginian Oonventiouou' March 23 177G. Io nian tiau study the well authenticated specimens of Patrick Henry's eloqueiijce and doubt the genuineness of tins, his supreme and ..most'';' characteristic oration. To be sure the whole speech is not reported by Wirfc, brf what is re ported is Ratrick Henry's.

It was not a prayer but a stern demand, which would submit to no refusal or delay. The souud of his voice, as he spoke the' memorable words, was like that of a Spartan paean on the held of Platea; and, as each syllable of the word 'liberty' ec hoed through the building, his let ters were shivered; his arms were hurled apart; and the links of his chains were scattered to the winds. When he spoke the word "liberty" with an emphasis never given it before, his hands were onen ami his arms elevated and extended: his countenance was radient, he stood erect and deflint, while the sound of his voice and snhlimi- ty of his attitude made him ap- iear a magnificent incarnation of freedom, and i expressed all that can be ncotiired or eiiiovd bv in, -i -J .- I tions anl individuals invincible and free.

I told them I would write up the iron manufactur ing industries, but wliat does a North Carolinian care about iron in Texas? First of all I wish to say one thing about the fair sex of the Lone Star State. I attended a beauty fair not long since, and I was astonished, as most men would have- been, under the circumstances. I think every county in the State wag represented, they were all there, from the tow- headed girl, with her false bangs and freckled face, to the modern Cleo patra, attired in her silks. Of course in a great State , like .this there could not but an7; lovely girls, jet I "ever-did so yearn.for a Washington g"l in my life.

The Disability Pesion Law- The Herald is asked to explain what the new Disabilty Pension law is which has received so much public attention lately. The act became a law June 27 of th s sear.

He may be in .nmrnriDhi finunnml cirenmn ces. or even a millionaire, aud yet demand a pension from the gov erument.

I We notice of late a .good man' criticisms on what is known as the Sub Treasury Bill, and from the blind way in which the subject is handled we judge that very few in deed of those who criticise knowjany thing whatever about the Bill except perhaps, the heading (Sub Treasury Bill) or else they shrink from . an aiiylization 'of , and a careful sifting to' obtain merits and demerits of any thing which perhaps may be above their comprehension. Also they do not know that it is supported by a very large class of conservative peo ple. The Fairs. The people of the Eastern part of North Carolina should remember the agricultural fairs to be held in Octo ber. These institutions can be made of .inestimable benefit to our commu nity if they are properly supported. For years and -years our people have been plodding along old roads map ped out by our ancient ancestors ob livous of the new methods invented in our time. Other sections avail ing themselves of new mechanical contrivances have been able to pro duce farm produce - and all oth er products at much less cost than we; in other words we have been out- tripped in the race. People are stimulated by seeing what their neighbors do. There is perhaps no man entirely devoid of ambition. Those who appear to have none have simply failed to have it aroused. They have lived within themselves and have imagined, prob ably that they are doing as well as others. Let them come to the fair and see what is really being done and they will return home with their eyes open . New energy wiil be infused and a new world stand before them. It should be our duty to stimulate our producers. In other sections the boards of County Commissioners have offered special premiums for various products. This is right. Those contending for the premiums increase the public wealth by adding to their own, even' if unsuccessful. Why cannot our Commissioners offer a premium for the best yield of corn , or cotton, or some other product in Pasquotank county? As year by year farmers contend for the prize there would be an improvement in agri cultural lands and an increase of val uation. and renewed prosperity. Let our -Commissioners take this matter .under . consideration and do what they can.- Falcon. Senator. Vauce. Johnson City, Tenn.
