MY WIFE AND CHILD.
The tattoo beats--the lights are gone,
The camp around in .'lumber lies,
The night with solemn pace moves on,
The shadows thicken o'er the skies;
Rut sleep my weary eyes hath llown,
And sad, uneasy thoughts arise.
I think of thee, oh! dearest one,
Whose love my early life hath blest,
Of thee and him our baby son
Who slumbers on thy getle breast.
God ol the ttnder, frail and lone,
Ou! guard tho tender sleeper's rest!
And however, gently however near,
To her whoso watchful eye is wet"
To mother, wife--the doubly dear,
In whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams of love, so deep and clear,
And cheer her drooping spirits yet.
Nowv while she kneels before thy Throne,
Oh! teach her, Ruler of the skies,
That, while by Thy behest alone,
Earth's mightiest Powers fall or rise
No tear is wept to Thee unknown,
No hair is lo.t, no sparrow dies!
That Thou canst stay the ruthless hands
Of dark disease, and sooth its pain,
Tnat only by Tny stern coramraands
The battle's lost, the soldier's slain
That from the distant sea or land
Thou bring'st the wandeter home again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear wet cheek is sadly piest,
May happier visions beam upon
The brightening current of her breast,
No irowumg look or angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath of her rest.
Whatever fate those forms may show,
Roved with a passion almost wild
By day by night in joy or woe
By fears oppressed, or hopes beguiled,
From every danger, every foe,
Oh! God! protect my wife and chdd.
Some fancy the charms of the hlly
white msdd Of etherlal form and
languishing eye, Who faints in the
sunshine and droops in the shade
And is always ready to die." But

Tne blood in whose veins courses
healthy and free, With the vigor of
youth in her movements of grace,
Od, that is the maiden for me !
She is the girl 'to tie to" for life.

FITLY SAID.
GREAT MEN OF THE SOUTH.
Their Names are Worthy.
NORTH CAROLINA NOT EEIIIND.
(News & Observer May 20th.)
We have received and read a
pamphlet by T. K, Oglesby, of
Montgomery, Ala., in vindication of
the South from aspersions cast by j
the Encyclopedia Britanmca.
Mr. Oglesby takes the following
paragraph as his text :
"Mnce the Revolution days the ftw,
thinkers of America born south of Mason
and Dixon's line are outnumbered by
those belonging to the single State of
Massachusetes; nor is it too much to say
that mainly by their connection with the
North, the Carohnas has been saved
from sinking to the level of Mexico or
the Antilles." Encyclopedia Britannica.
Mr. Oglesby's vindication is am
pie. He Las grouped together the
remarkable deeds of Southern men
in a way that is truly admirable. We
could wish that a copy weie in the
hands of every Southern family and
that every boy in the Southland
would read it and find within its
pages an incentive to emulate the
example of some native of the Sonth
who has contributed to the happi
ness or advancement of mankind.
The price is fifty cents.
We choose, however, to consider
tho statement made concerning the
Carolinas for ourselves. Its grava
men is that since the Revolution the
Carolinas have retrogiaded, and
have been rescued from declining
into the condition of Mexico and of
the Antilles only by the sustaining
power of a connection of the North.
We suppose that the period of sug
gested decline has been fixed subse
quent to the Revolution for the ica
son that prior to that war the
Carolinas were Provinces of the
Crown of England. Since the Reve
lation the population of the Caro
linas has changed less by the admix
ture of foreigu blood than that ol
other States; we have received no
accessions from abroad, and the
bulk of the people in North Carolina
are still of pure Anglo-Saxon lin-j
lo fro
The temperature is about the same
as that of England; the seasons sim
ilar, with the notable difference,
however, that our atmosphere is
clearer and more invigorating, for
that of England is laden with moist
ure and heavy with dampness.
The developement of the race in
these parts has indeed been affected
by our residence in the wilderness,
under brighter skies and with a
sharper air, to the extent that we
are more nervous than tho English
man, quicker in cur perceptions,
with a tougher fibre and a finer
brain. We are a hardier race, less
eneryated, more rugged, and have
lost none of the brave and manly
attributes of our ancestors while
encountering the difficulties of life
in the lorest. The victors at
Waterloo may well claim kindred
with the victors at New Orleans
or the followers of the peerless Lee
on the most famous fields of modern
trues.
In whatever contributes to robust
manhood Carolinians excel, and
they will suffer naugnt in measur
ing in fcueu respects wuu tue peo
pie of any otber State or nation.
There has been no decline in the
race in their Southern home.
Bat it has been our connection
witn tne iNortn tnat nas savea us
from deterioration! How? What
inliueuces has tho North exerted
upon the people of the Carolinas
Early in this century John Adams
and his Iriends proposed that New
York should join New England and
form a now confederacy to fieo the
.Northern States from Southern in
tluenci:;
which dominated the
Union; and we have read in all the
books that the South dominated the
Union until the election of Lincoln
Webster was elected to Congress'
in opposition to the war of IS 12,
bat was silent iu the presence o
the Southern Henry Clay. Am
towauistue cloe of his life, he
made his Capon Springs speech
assenting to the Southern doctrine
and yielding to Southern influence
to such an extent tbat he was de
nounced bv his own people for bis
truckling spirit.
We have heard of Souther, influ
ence dominating the Union; but
never of Northern ideas controlling
the South. So much for politics
and statsmanship.
In religion the Baptists are prob
ably the largest denomination at
the South, and as i3 well known,
each Baptist church association is
independent of all others; so that
had there been many Baptists at the
North and there are 'not, the North
would have exerted no influence
upon the South, through the Bap
tist church. The next largest de
nomination is the Methodist,
which is largely of southern growth
and whatever influence that de
nomination exerted up to the time
of its rupture, was a Southern influ
ence exerted on the North rather
than the reverse.
Piesbytenaniam at the North
poon ran off into Congregational
ism with a development icto Un-.
ltarianism. Neither Congregation
alism nor Unuitarianism has ever
tinctured Southern Prebyttsnan
ism; while the Universalists are
likewise confined to the North.
Nor has the Protestant Episco.
pal church at the South been under
Northern influences.
In education, a few Southern
young men have been taught at
Northern colleges, and some in Eng
land, but these circumstances are
without moment when we are con
sidering the life current of millions
of people.
But then it is alleged that Massa
chusetts has produced more fbink
ers than tho South! Ah! And
what did they think? What have
their thoughts been worth. They
were opposed to the war of 1812,
but their thoughts availed naaght.
Henry Clay, a Southern man, was
the leader of the tariff party, and
John C. Calhoun was a tariff man,
while Webster began as an advo
cate of a low tariff. If Webster
eventually became a "constitutional
expounder" the subject had been
threshed threadbare by Madison
and Monroe, and by a host of
Southern statesmen before Webster
appeared in that role. There have
been a dozen correct thinkers at
tho South where there has been
one in Massachusetts; and there
have been more eloquent oratoro
and profound statesman at the
South than at the entire North,
notwithstanding the disparity in
population.
There has been more literature
at the North; some, very excellent;
he bulk worthless. But the South
has not been without her scientists
and literary men. Circumstances
have, however, been more favorable
to the development of writers at the
Northern centres than in the scat
tered settlements of the South.
Opportunity, surroundings, circum
stanceshave fostered the literary
habit at the North and
epressed it at the South.
But because our "thinkers" did not
write books, they were not thereby
robbed of their power. Most of the
Southern gentlemen with their fine
estates and hundreds of slaves, were
hinkers, equal to the best that
might be named at the North, al
though the latter may be known to
ame, and the others Dot.
We have seen both branches of
Congress presided over at the same
time by North Carolinians; we have
seen two of her sons adorn the Su
preme Court bench; four of them
Secretaries of the Navy; Jackson
and Polk, both native Carolinians,
Presidents, whose administrations
were equalled in importance to 18G0;
William II. King, Vice President;
and Andrew Johnson after the war;
Owen declining a nomination for
the Vice Pesidency, and Gra
ham on the ticket with Gen. Scott-
But space forbids us to pursue the
subject.
Mr. C. C. Campbell, of (Jambell's Uot
ton Compress Co-, city of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes. ''Everybody finds relief
shortly after nsingUradjcrotine for head
ache,"
In these days tbere is a craving, among
the uneducatftd class, for enlizhtment.
that amounts almost to morbidness.

SCOTLAND NECK.
AN EASTERN N. C. TOWN
SITUATED IN A FINE FARM
ING SECTION.
Mr. II. B. Hardy, traveling corre
spondent of the State Chronic U.
spent a day in Scotland Neck two
weeksapo. we give below some of
the things he said of Scotland Neck.
(Staff Cor. Stite Chronicle.)
Scotland Neck, N. C, May 1C. '01
On what is known as the Scotland
Neck Branch Road of the Wilming
ton & Weldon K. R., twenty-eight
miles from Weldon andeigteen mile
from Halifax (the county seat of
Halifax), is situated one of the pret
ties little towns in the State; sur
rounded by as Qne a farmmg section
a3 any town in North Carolina can
show; in fact, past history (prior to
the late war) gives statistics which
prove that the lands lying between
Scotland Neck and the Roanoke rlv
er, which were at that time in a high
state of cultivation, as well as the
bottom lands on the river, were not
ed for productiveness, more especial
ly the large yield of corn.
Origan of the .ame 'Scotland
:ci."
Aboat the year 1720 a number of
Scotland Highlanders came to this
part of the coantry and started sheep
and cuttle raising. They lived in
eabinF, near the bend of the river ,
between what are now known as Eds
wards' Ferrry and Hill's Ferry. The
Roanoke river so circles as to make
a complete neck of land, seven miles
from which the town is built, and
when the postoflice was established
for this part of the country, the name
of Scotland Neck was chosen. There
were two villages in this section, at
that time, one mile apart, kaowj as
CJarkeville and Greenwood. They
remained separate and distinct un
til the close of the late war. Before
the war a stage line from Charleston
S. C. to Norfolk. Vo . tjihod
this uoiut, In 18GG, Mr. John
Ilyman, an enterprising citizen of
Clarksville conceiyed the idea of
building a town between Clarksville
and Greenwood, thereby uniting
both villages into one town. lie
purchased the lacd and bad the
tewn chartered under the name of
"ScotlandJNeck.'' Mr. Ilyman was
a very liberal hearted man and be
gave lots to actual occupants, and
he also helped them improve them.
The town is beautifully laid off with
broad, shaded streets. 'lhc corpo
rate limits are about one and a half
miles long and five-eights of a mile
wiile. Main street, running from
north to south, is laid off into two
drives, with a row of trees on either
side, and also, a line of pretty elms
in the centre. This is, beyond doabt,
one of the prettiest streets this writ
er has seen in any North Carolina
town. The basincss houses and
most of the public buildings arc e-
rected on this street.
The business of the town consists
of about ten general merchandise
stores , one drug store, one hardware
and feed store, four grocery, one mil
linery store., one jewelery store,
These business houses are conducted
by a clever intellignt business set of
meD, who with their polite clerks are
ever ready to wait upon their cus
tomers , these etores are well stocked
with such goods as there is a da
Liand for in their respective lines.
The manufacturing industries of
the town, embrace first, a first class
Knitting mill. This building i3 sit
aated about 150 yards from the de
pot and aboot 75 yards from the
railroad track. It is a large brick
building one story and a ba?ement,
is 50 feet wide and 200 feet long. It
was Orst built for a ootton factory
by a stock company formed by the
hnsines? men and citizens of the
community, bat they decided to turn
! it into a knitting mill.
The compa
ny owns 15 acres of land around the
mill upon which they are going to ,
build houses to be occupied by their
operatives. I am told by those com
peten to know that the machinery of
this nr.ll i3 of the latest improved
best quality. The upper or front
part of the main floor is used for the
stock room with long rows of coun
ters upon which are piled hurdreds
of boxes of all kinds of ladies and
misses hosiery and knit vest?, also
boys' and men's sock3 of all grades
from the finest lisle thread goods to
the coarsest cotton goods. They
pay more attention bowevr to finer
erades than to common. In the low
er part of this room are forty eight
knitting machines, twelve ribbers,
three winders, eleven loopers, and all
other tec;iiry implement! rcq.irrd
for the beine. They jjive etrplov
ment to one bcndreJ fcaJ, tare r ut

of the goods. TLit compmy have
in contemplation, to ereU in the fu
ture, a cottoo mill, unless cpil!it, ;
from some other lection want to
come here and take adyantage of the
fine location fur such aa enterprie.
There certainly can not (m my opin
ion) be found a finer cotton ect'on
where the raw material is produced
in the cotton belt of North Carolina.
The Bauk of Scotland Neck ws
chartered this year. It is on a solid
foundation and the capital pfock wiil
be increased from time to time a
basincss demands.
There is a cotton gin, grist mill
and saw mill all combined. 1 hi
saw mill gets out all kinds of rouiih
ttmber for Louao building. The)
have recently put in a cotton ee
crusher to break up the seed for fcr
til.zing and feed purposes. This
mill has been m operation for some
years and has been a source of much
conviencc to the poo; le in tht im
mediate vicinity. On tho same lot
with a vacant space of about 25 or ?0
yards from this mill is u machine
shop where all kinds of engines,
boilers and machinery are repaired.
Tuere are three churches Baptist,
Episcopal and Methodist. Tne Bip
tist church is a neat frame budding,
with a. seating capacity of about 45'J
to 500. The Episcopal church is a
brick structure with nbout the same
capacity. The Mettiodist is a frame
building and will scat about three
hundred. Each of these churches
have a Sunday tchool which are
largely attended. In addition to
tbese. churches there is a marai an.l
social organizationg in the town
which ever since it was first organiz
ed has been a decided success and
it is an organization that the town
nhould be proud of (and I believe it
in,) We allude to the Independent
temperance association, which has
been in operation oyer four years and
more than four hundred persons
haye been enrolled on its list of mem
bership and the entire section has
been greatly benefited by its influ
ence.
The educational advantages of
Scotland Neck are as jjood as tho
best ic the State. In 1SL0 a school
of high gradft was organized and
chartered under the name of Vine
Hill academy, and has continued io
successful operation ever sine
Some of the best educators of the
State have had charge of it at differ
ent times and men who haye been
eminent in all the professions receiv
ed their academic training here; the
school is still in a most prosperous
condition and doing successful work
in both nale and female departmerit0,
which are under tie management of
the same board of trustee?, but are
presided over by different principles
in different building", on different
site?. There is to be erected boon aj
large commodious brick batMinz in
the southern part of the town, which
will be used is a military tcnooi ior j
boys. The male department of Vine
Hill School will combine with thi?,
under the management of tin; 3ainc
gentleman who now charge of
ttie male department. There are iu
this school at present forty-five toys
and about seventy-five girls.
'Hie ."ew Holtl
i", in every sense of tLe word a
handsome building. It has been o
pen for the reception of guests about
one month. It is a three story brick
building, 103 x 100 ft el. In shape
it is an L. On the two upper floors
there are fifty bed-rooms besides the
parlors and reception room. 0.1 the
ground rl ior are the olllce, dining j
