KlUIi-R ili'CKN'AL: Wc have had our resr and again ready for the homo stretch. Jut abore where I left you in my laot, which yo i will rt uienilicr wa at the west end of the 6wannanoa tunnel, is; the water divide where extremes meet, and the beautiful clear water, runs off towards Tennessee, in i obedience to the Greeley in June- j tion. "0 west." How I did hate to see nil that sji.irklm.i;' Atua I'ura running away from u. w.hen it would be such a comfort to us in the low lands of the ear. Hut' tlie,re was another case of a meet ing of extremes here. While I was siting for Major Boomer to escort ; tne to the snmrnir on my return : trip which 1 was to t ike alone, j a man came along with a double ! barn-lied shot gun. and a belt tilled ! with cartridge who inquired of i Lhe bystanders where was a good j place to find some rattlesnakes as be'wifehed to kill one. 2s'ovr here ! was one man who wanted to find a j rattlesnake, and upon my word and, honor, I was one who did not want to find any .-mkes. Heseemedex-tre-mely anxious to find one and I was nuiti' as extremely anxious not to, so extremes mtt right here. The. conversation turned upon; rattlesnakes and sorai rattling snake stories were told. I listened with deep interest when the direc ! tions were given the snake hunter : of the place most likely to lind one. j i It was my full intention not to go' i there. Hut fortunately thedircc-j tions pointed out invariably were j oil' my Line of return and the further i assurance that rattlesnakes were quite scarce this season was an 1 evidently gratifying crop report to me. We were now ready and otl for the top right over the great long tunnel, where there is a beautiful view of the western slope and many other slopes. A field literally taken wait daisies charmed and delighted me and we gathejed quite a posey lor the hotel people, l-'ioui the point in eueheiian par lance, having ordrrci up aud 1 was to iju it ah'Ht. My route was down the ridge on an old stage road wide , and eo in modioli, frte from brush or weeds, and owing to rhe snake stories, before mentioned. 1 neither) j went "to tjie nghC.uor the left, bat keit in the middle of the road.-' . The n jik down hill differs quite 'greatly from a walk up hill, but in this ease it was a clear walk over, any way, and J, vn i 1 1 1 but little 1 trouble- crossed the Swannanoa gp. where so mueh labor, capital I and skill was employed to get the railroad over. Keacbing the track right at the eastern end of the ' tunnel I was directed to the railroad and upon my route 1 would pass! through four or five tunnels but 1 none very long, aud with no train likely to pass up before four o'clock, but in ca.se I did mett a train iu one of them, why just squeeze up on ; ono side and there need be no col lision. The route was simply sublime aud the scenery as wild as any one could wish, but somehow 1 (w other the idea ol serving as1 wedge wood to stop a train passing : through a tunnel was almost as in 'eiiMl:!ig as mv previous thought ofbeiiiL.' a leethmg ring for some juvenile rattlesnake. Though for tune l.nors the brave; and 1 was brave aud fortune was favorable. The longe-t tunnel I had to pass through has a curve in it and when looking in at one cud you don't see out at the othei end although you are morally certain that there is another. While looking into the matter and wondering what it w.istha' "darkened the hole," the joyful sound of piek and hammer broke upon my ear. m fact 1 believe it broke all over me. There w;vs a party of workmen in the tunnel as was aNo made evident by the glim mering tapers flittering about. If there is a sp"t on the earth or under it where you want company, and want it badly too. it is in a tun nel when you don't know how soon the train may come. This, however, w i soon passed and the Rubicon was crowed, the others were short and ymi could ee right through be;'.. re entering, and in addition to that, 1 overtook another pedes trian with a gun on his shoulder, a valise hung on it and a banjo under Ins arm taking an observation oi the achievement-of engineering so el itvoratelv di-ii laved hereabouts. We formed a coal down in second tie Vole, to the Knob where I while lie movi d tion and marched ward -.v le on a le iel at Hound ! unied in to rest on towards his home in Hurke. Thus I had successfully performed the great French evolution of marching up the hill and then down again, The sights seen in the journey being sufiieient to remunerate for a week of such walking.

The train which left Charlotte for Statesville last Tuesday night was fired into by j some unknown party.

Wootcn, began on the night of tiie -oil of June, at s o'clock p. m. The academy was crowded . The audience was entertained for three and one half oi- four hours by declamations by the boys anil read ing by the girls of tho school. The pieces were well selected and ren dered in a manner which showed careful training and reflected honor on both the teachers and them selves. The programme Ins been lost or I would give it, but suffice it to say, that all did well. Some showing first rate elocutionary powers. Next morning at 1 o'clock we hied our way to the . mirclr where the address was delivered by Dr. Vtanlv- rf U'aL-fl Vi.rosf f-l 1 & era Notwithstanding th. inclemency 1 oi ttie weather, tne vJJOctor had a large audience who were well pleased with his ready wit and his deep knowledge of the subject, "Preparation for Lite." in which he gave the young folks much good advice, varied occasionally by a rich anecdote which made his address highly amusiug as well as instructive. Ilia lame as an orator had proceeded him and none were (i8appoiuted when they had listened to his eloquent appeal to the youths to prepare themselves well for the time when on their shoulders will rest the prosperity aud advancement of our govern ment and the welfare of coming generations. At the close of the address, Prof. Wooten in a short speech presented the speaker with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in I behalf of the ladies of Polloksville. Iu the afternoon the trustees met and elected Prof. Wooten Principal, and Miss V ilhe A. Bell assistant for the fall term. Both are excellent teachers and their efforts in behalf of education are much appreciated by the patrons of the school. On Friday morning the steamer Kinston was at the wharf bright and early ready to take the chil dren of the school and their friends down the beautiful Trent. After a stay of fifteen minutes at New Berne we steamed away on our way to Kiverdale one of the most beautiful and picturesque spots on Neuse river. We were allowed the use of the grounds by the kind owner. A bountiful repast was spread on the green grass and under the old factory by the ladies who were afraid it would rain, then the wants of the inner man were attended to. Onr stay was cut short by the hoarse whistle which warned us that our time was up and unless we made our way to the boat we might be compelled to stay at Kiverdale longer than we bar gained for. Then commenced our journey homeward; the boat stopped at New Berne 30 minutes thus allowing all who wished the opportunity of viewing the new Hotel Albert. At the end of 30 minutes we were reminded that our brief stay at the city of elms was over and we were again making our way up the river Trent. Some enjoyed themselves dancing while others looked on and chatted musdy with their friends. From all appearances cupid had slipped aboard (without paying his fare) and was making sad havoc with many tender hearts. The young folks danced in the academy till a late hour in the night, then sought ; repose in the arms of morpheus, and to ilream pleasantly of their trip. Thus ended the commencement. A Very Important Convention. On the 10th day of August a i very important convention will as jsemble in the city of Atlanta and : remain in session perhaps for ten j days. For the first time the far mers of the South will meet in a ; convention of their own to discuss j the unsettled" problem of Southern agriculture under its new conditions Of the ten cotton States it is cer- tain that eigbt will be represented by full and conpjjlete-delegations. , it is hoped the other ' States Ala i bama and' Mississippi :"wttl bo i heard from in due' fjrje. ' ' I The subjects of trrrdiscuasion at this convention are practical and ' pressing. They teach the business as well as the scipnee of agricul ture. Commissioner Henderson ; and his associates have divided the subjects, giving each State its special topic of discussion, and able writers and speakers are now engaged from the Oarolinas to Texas collecting such facts and ar- rauging such argument as will be useful and convincing to the far mers of the South. We hope for great good from this convention. Politicians ap pear to have been excluded from its discussion and matters confided mainly to practical hands. There are many things in Southern agri culture yet unsettled. Many ex periments, results of which are not yet ascertained. It will be strange if tho ten days' proceedings of this ; convention of five or six hundred , nropri! farmers does not fpach n , something we did not know before, 1 confirm us in right ways and lead ' us back from mistake and venture. Atlanta will welcome the conven tlou and will see that the delegate aio made as comiortable as pos sible during their stay in the city. ' Atlanta Constitution. A Peculiar Region. One need not journey to thu wihU of the Park Continent or hunt up a desert island iu the Pacific or In dian Oceans to find a spot on the earth's surface where taxes areTun kuown. There is such a No man's-land in our own country, according to a recent item goiug the rounds of the press. It is a territory bordering on the northern line of Lincoln County, Maine, called 'Hibbert's Gore.-' It contains .'-i;j4 acres of land and ten flourishing families. It is bounded by the lines ol three counties Knox, Lincoln, and Waldo but is not claimed by either. The inhabi tants do not maintain a municipal organization, and cannot vote for President, governor, members of legislature, or town officers. Stockholder-' McetiiiLf. IV AN" EYE WITNESS. Mohkuead City. July I. !--7. El itor Jul hnai. As it not infre quently happens th;,t a k;.'u,i listener, by reason of remarks i!ia!e in his hear ing by bi ail site?, ami by close obser vations of the actors, is enabled to form a n-.ore correct opinion of tho results at which men aim. and to gain a more in timate knowledge of plans and schemes than their uuthor would care to have him possess. I propose in response to your request to Rive you the impres sions made n; n an observer bv-the meeting of th- '-holders of the A. & X. C. II. Ht thi- , ye.-tc-rdav. June 30th. Circulating amoiij? the little groups gathered about the hotel before the hour of assembling. I eoon learned that the majority of the stock had been gathered by one man. and that the proceedings of the meeting were, so far aa related to the election of directors, appointment of committees, etc., already "cut and dried, " with the cutters and dryers on hand to see their program carried out. called to order irectora put in the cnair. a scowl or dissatisfaction was ap parent on more faces than one, and when the names of certain gentlemen from Wake wera announced as directors on the part of the State, and the name of a gentleman from Chatham as proxy for tho State, that scowl deepened into an ! expression of Bnger that was noticeable j even upon the faces of some who rank themsel vpfl among Gov. iscales' friends. 1 hieh class of individuals, however, in I this part of the State I rind confined al most exclusively to the recipients of his patronage, and those who hope to get i something from him. Ejaculations of' 6hame! shame! in tones scarcely audible ; but full of feeling, fell from the lips of , many, and conveyed to the writer the idea that fom great wrong had been perpetrated. Upon inquiring thecausej of such an ebullition of feeling he i learned that while tLe gentlemen from j Wako and Chatham above alluded to , were personally much esteemed by the . people of this section, still inasmuch as ! neither of them had any known interest i in the country along the line of the road, ' and none in the road itself except the ownership of one or two shares of stock, ' just enough to enable them to hold the positions, the people almost to a man, who understand the situation, who live in this section, whose money has gone ; by the tens of thousands for the con- ; struction of the road, and in their heavy debt taxes is still going to pay for that ' construction, and whose prosperity and welfare is largely dependent upon the efficient and friendly management of the road, feel that His Excellency the Governor, in going outside of their ranks to select representatives of the State in the management of a property situated iu their midst, and in which they hav an interest measured in dol lars and cents, paid out about equal to that of the State itself, if not greater, and many times greater than that of all the present controllers and managers put together, has not only perpetrated a great w rong upon them, but in making these i ppointments for the third time, in the lace of the nuny protests that have been made to him, has offered them a direct and premeditated insult. which at the proper time they will not j be slow to resent. j Another caute of complaint was. the inability to obtain a copy of the Presi- dent's R;-port, and as it is customary ! for these reports to be printed and ready for distribution among the stockholders ; when tho moiing assembles, thereby giving them n opportunity to consider 1 the "URgeetioT. and recommendations therein contained before they are called upon to vote upon tliem. it was not sur prising, when the President, reading from the only copy of his report that seemed to be available, suggested that the time of holding the annual meetings ' bo changed from 4th Thursday in June to 1st Thursday in August, was considered by some as a snap judgment, and the reasons assigned for the change received with some grains of suspicion. The idea, said a gentleman on my left, that tha business of this road has increased to such proportions that it requires more than a month to get its accounts ready for submission to the stockhold- . era, is all bosh. Just wait until July, "8? and you will see that the cat in the meal tub is a coon of another color. The North Carolina road and all other r0ads, some of them with a business thousand times greater than the busi ness of this road, make up their ac counts in thirty days. The accounts of , this road, when doing more business, and when ita receipts were greater than they are today, have always been made up in thirty days, and if it is indeed true that the present president and his numerous assistants are unable to make ' i up in thirty days, accounts covering a i business amounting to the petty sum of til i ,uuu, lees than the business of any, first-class merchant in the State, then His Excellency the Governor ought, in justice to himself and tho interest of the stockholders, turn out the whole con cern and appoint men of some business papacity in their places. But, said he, as Col. Morehead closed his protest, jwhat's the use of protesting without or ganization; watch the proceedings and you will see that the president ij run ning the machine and the Governor too; he makes the nominations hare, and the Governor's appointments are made in accordance with his wishes, and if but one-half the rumors are true, it is thought by some that His Excel lency will, before his term expires, attempt by lease or otherwise to place the whole property under his absolute control or that of his friends But when the time for leasing or selling as the case may be, comes, unless the ne gotiations are kept from the people and a deal is made whereby the transaction ia virtually consumated before it is made known to "outsiders," those who are now manouvering for the possession of the road by buying up its stock when ever it can be had, will while putting a handsome profit on their investment in their pockets, be astonished at the price the road will bring, if his excellency will permit competitions in bidding for it."' And then, when too late, those who have up to this time parted with their stock under the silly idea that great good was to come to the road and incidentally to them by consolidating it in the hands of one or two men, will find that they have parted with it for a mere bagatelle in comparison to the sum it will yield the purchaser, and have sold it to men who, their inlluence in the control of the road having gone with their 6tock, will have about as lit tle use for theui as his satanic majesty his for holy water. Many other comments of this nature. I might give 1 you. but it would make this communi- cation too lengthy The feature of the meeting which seemed to elicit the greatest attention was the discussion between the Hon. F. M. Simmons and Mr. James A. Bryan of your city, and Mr. Jesse Ken nedy of Lenoir, upon a resolution of Mr. Simmons authorizing the directors of the A. ifC N, C. R. to subscribe to the bonds an 1 stock of the East Carolina Land and Railway Co.. a line to run from New Berne to New river in Onslow county. Mr. Simmons portrayed in glowing colors the advantages of the new enter prise, described the land through which the road was to run as llowing with milk and honey; its rivers tilled with millions of bushels of oysters, and the land itself teeming with abundant crops all merely awaiting proper transporta tion to make their owners lich and the country prosperous, while theroad ccn controlled a road way 20 miles in length, equal to any in the State and virtually ready lor the ties. His speech was strong and telling and if the discussion had ended when Mr. Kennedy cuggest ed that we had heard enough, his reso lution might have been adoptod and a subscription of many thousands of dol lars made by the A. iS; N. C. R. to the stock and bonds of the new road. But Th. Mr. K-juu' ly -.tv ! -c -.v-in..- i;r. :::;vv'c note?. na. -f I Pryan took iL Simmons ' re be g!;Jd to s--: the Stat" and & N. C. R.

Finco hr knew it, regarded by him as a erty; that if proper!-.- inar.r.j-ed an I i resources taken caro of. it would roon pay olf its presont debt and become ,i dividend paying property. That the people of this iectir.n huo Lv.Z Their eyes to its value an i it.-. jv(-rsh(lw:r.z inlluence upon their trade and r.:.?;H r- lty. and at one Umo soeir.od to c-ir tie what became of it: that shrewd capi talists, men not giyeu to Kivo-ung ..hear money in dead enterprises, had drifted among them, am1 seeing the great capa bilities of the road had purchased lartre quantities of its stock and were still seeking to get possession of it with as much eagerness and avidity as if it rep resented shares in the mints of Gui conda. and they would double nd quadruple their money too That th cry that the road was a non paying properly wa all humbug; was made to coyer a purpose. That the president said the road would do better ,n private hands, that being so let the Governor put it up for lease or sale to the highest bidder, tirst giving the public proper notice of his intention. If olfered for lease under those circumstances, it would bring a sum that would soon pay off its debt: if offered for s.ib La thought it would bring not icsh th;in 600.000 or S3o it per 8bare. l or thete reasons he had adyieed and still advised the people of Craven county not to sell their stock for the figures at wnich it waB being bought up by those ans iou to get control of the road, and he ad vised all others who owned stock to hold on to it for the present at any rate, and to await results, which he thought would in the near future, give tl.rm r, cause to regret their action. He said that in regard to his nnt tion with the Eastern Carolina sydicate. he would state to Mr. Simmons franki v. that he did favor mortgaging tt;e A. or N. C. R. to put it iu order just as the present managent has done, and to build the link from Goldsboro to Fayetteyille or to Sanford. that was to connect it with th Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Road but that Governor Jarvis would not permit that, and that without permission, they olfered to lease the A. & N. C. Road and. pay a yearly rental of 3 per cent, on its capi tal stoak. That if that proposition had been accepted one would now have had a N. C. line in fact as well as in name, and the dream of Caldwell. Morhead and ofhers of a line from the mountains to the sea would have been reaiizad, and it would not have been many years before we would have been by means of that connection in direct communication with Chicago and the west. That his proposition would have de veloped this country and built up the ports or .cw Heme and lM.ore.hcaj City and placed a large amount of money m the treasury of ihiRoad. but that plans were said to be en foot for the control of tho Road . would virtus i:y t .ttK up the people in this section ci country, and put money in tbe pockets . '. a few private individuals only. For these and reasons given before, he hoped that the counties and in dividuals owning stock in the Atlantic Road would consider well be fort: part ing with i; t.; parties now trying to buy it.
