Mrr Bledsoe, of Asho, seems
to be of a generous turn of

acres of land for him after the

need apply but revenue officers,
as. he wants to give them em

People who give our climate
a fair trial, examine our beau
tiful country, its lovely and
fertile valleys and mingle with
our kind and generous people,
are always pleased and charm
ed. It is natural for them to
be, for this is surely one of
God's own favored spots. We
take the privilege of giving an
extract from a private letter to
Mr. Smoak of this place from
II. S Eley, Esq., of Norfolk,
Va., who with his estimable
wifo spent last summer in
Hoke Secrest, tho famous Wilkesboro. Mr. Eley travel-
murderer has been capturod in ed over a considerable part of

of the bills at thi3 time is an
evidence of Democratic good

would modestly commend that
old adage, "great haste makes
waste." If there is any good
to come out of an extra session
wo fail to see it. That the reg

Congress should be changed to
an earlier dato seems to based
upon good reasons. If Con
