Simmons, of New Berne lias in her jxissessiou a wine glass carefully preserved that belonged to Col. James Foy, who was on Gen. George Washington's staff, during the Revolutionary war, and was grand father to Mrs. Simmons. The class is in the shape Of our ordinary wine glass though a little long, and much larger, will probably hold one half pint; is oi plain French cut glass, was brought to hA-nerica during the Revolutionary war, and col. toy owned one dozen of them, which he used for the pultORe of dr-nk-ing wine and champagne with Gen. Washington and the other officer. The glasses were given to his children and grandchildren, this one falling into the hands of his son, Enoch Fov who was the father of Mrs. S' r uons who h is it carefully preserved and considers it a prse of great value.

As Others See Ua, We see from a letter published in the Ncjb Sout h by J. Skinner of Bowlir Green, Ohio dated Aug. 6, 1832, some thing that is of vast importance to the people of North Carolina in regard to immigration. He has lately completed a tour through the counties of the Wes tern portion oi tins state of which he is writing a series of letters for the Senti net published in Ohio regarding the ad vantages to be derived in the mining, cereal, vegetable and fruit business, and that considerable inquiries had al ready been made. He thinks the joint ure of North Carolina with the three States, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan in their Exposition of Sept. 4th lasting two weeks, would result in much good as a large advertisement in the display of her products and that he will use his greatest influence in the undertaking. Look at the State of Kansas a few years back as it stood then, and to see now that it ranks among the first of the union, is proof that her earnest zeaL in pushing forward the display of her pro ducts has-awakened immigration, con sequently prosperity follows.

The Governor had 'a large crowd to greet him at Stanly Hall on Monday night, and after, being introduced in a lew appropriate remarks, by H. K. Bry an, Esq:, arose and began his sneech. He '- felt complemented . at meeting so many of his fellow' citizens; it showed that they appreciated the fact that the government of North, Carolina belongs to the people, and .that .they . were en quiring how that government was be'ug administered. Parties, if they are what they ought to be, are merely organized agencies for the administration of what belongs to the people. Sometimes - par ties were organized for the purpose of making raids on the treasury, and for this reason it becomes the duty of the people to enquire r'.'ato such organiza tions and give their support to the one that administers their affairs in accord ance with law, good order ,'and economy. If the t'me had arrived when the pe pie were convinced that the Republican pa. y would best administer their af fairs, then they should go to the ballot box and vote to restore that pajw to power. On the other hand, if the Demo cratic party had been faithful to its trust; had administered the laws hon estly, fairly and economically, then there is no reason why it should be turned out and the other party put in power. Both these parties have had their dav in North Carolina, and if he could only get rae people to nstitute this enquiry about their management as they would about their private affairs; if he could only get them to be as just to the gov ernment as to themselves individually. he could convince every fair minded man that it is best to retain the Demo cratic paiiy in power in fioith Carolina. Tne Governor then instituted a com-.a parson 'between, - Republican rule in, Noith Carolina' for the' years: 1868r4J andr Democratic ru'e for the years lo79-0. showing tliat the Republicans spent over $1,800,000 for- the two years in admin istering the laws while the D mocrats spent about $900,000 for the same purpose-in Fame length of time. He also showed that the Republicens built no asylum for the colored insane, no asylum for the deaf, dumb and blind, built no school 'houses, carried on no schools, while the Democrats had built an asylum at Goldsboro for the colored insane, had built one at Morgan ton for - the whites, had revived the State University, had built and were still building school houses all over State and carrying on public schools for the education of both rcces the blacks receiving an equal proportion with the whites. In shoiu, it was the same old arraignment of the Republican party that has been used against them for the last ten years, and the same figures and comparisons that wore made in the campaign of 1830, but the Governor's manner of presenting the facts and figures made them fresh and vigorous, and revealed the fact tliat they are still good campaign documen i. He claimed for the Democratic pay the honor of compromising and selling its just debt of twelve and a halt mil lions of dollars, reducing it to three and a half millions, the interest on which is being annually paid without any in crease of taxation. This they were en abled to do by practicing the most rigid economy in administering the laws, and by having disiiosed of the Western N. C. Itailroad by which they saved about $175,000 annually. He also made the point for the Democratic party, that not a dollar of new debt had been created since they got control .of the State gov ern ment. Hie revenue plank in the Democratic platform was endorsed. He claimed tliat if tlie protective tariff was abolished and one made tor revenue only, it would give ample funds for t"io administration of the government. This being the case, he was in favor ot abolishing the reve nue system. (What would Senator Ransom do for appropriations?) He chareed that the collection of the one hundred and fifty millions of dollars in excess of the actual expenses of carry ing on the government, was roDnery. To give the audience an idea of what $150,000,000 is, he told them how many horses, railroad cars and engines it would take to carry it to Washington City if it was in silver dollars. QUAKER BRIDGE ROAD. The Governor "arose to a question of personal privilege1'' on this subject. After a little fling at a certain class of journalists in North Carolina that class, we presume, who are bold enough to criticize his actions whenever they think necessary he gave an explana tion of the laws granting convicts to the Quaker Bridge Road and the Western N. C. Railroad in full-.'accord with the opinion given by Attorney -General Keuan over a year ago. He said that the convicts put to work on Capitol square in Raleigh were such as were not fit to send off to the Western N. C. Railroad : that at his suggestion the pen itentiary board wrote to the commis sioners of Quaker Bridge Road to come to Raleigh and select their convicts, and after the chairman of the commissioners had g tion, t'.. pronon r such ,sei v i e; . to send them i ... furthermore the (. have discharged evt , itentiary board had t. ; a der such circumstances, lie wai in favor of punishing crime, but was op posed to treating pi i ;oner3 inhumanly, and this sentiment the Journal, heartily endorses. ,-4 While the Governoru madeT-apparent- ly. a very satisfactory explanation to a majority of his audience on this road question, yet, to one who is acquainted with the whole circumstances connect ed with it, there is one point still unex plained. When the penitentiary board wrote to the chairman of Uie road com missioners to go to: Raleigh, and select ihAir convicts, and after the chairman had done so and the Warden wrote him that the physician had examined his squad and pronounced them unfit for duty: the Journal charged that the an thorities in charge1 of the penitentiary were guilty of a trick and should re sign. The Governor says the letter re questing the commissioners to come up and select their convicts was written at his suggestion. Now did he not know, did not the penitentiary board ,bnow, tliat there were no convicts there lit for work on the Quaker Bridge Road , when tliat letter was written ? . The Governor explained tliat there were not enough convicts to supply even the W. N. C. R. R., because crime had decreased; lie wa glad in his heart that such was the case and we rejoice with him,' and hope that the time will soon come when the Legislature will see fit toto justice to the East, and will open up roads through the public lands ot the State that tney may oe utiuzea ior the common school funds. , . , Letter from Norfolk. Norfolk,-Va., Aug. 8th, 1882.: Mr. EDrroBirr-There t is much to be seen in our neighbor by : the - sea. tVast improvements are going on and : the wheels of commercial progress are not only running smoothly but rapidly to a distinguished prominence. - Norfolk is not relying only on the commercial advantages she enjoys but is paying no little attention to the man ufacturing also,. Aa the number of ar ticles that are manufactured here would require too much space for a letter of this kind, I shall omit them - but must allude to an agreeable surprise that I met in my. wanderings about the city. It was a fully equipped locomotive building establishment. I was shown by the proprietors,' Messrs. T. W. God win & Co. v a photograph of an elegant locomotive which they had forwarded the day before to St.,Louis, and also one the week before to a road in South America. This establishment; has facil ities for turning out a locomotive com plete in about six weeks t'me, carries a pay-roll of about $200 per day, has or ders for at least six months ahead ; and best of all two of the proprietors are native Virginians and the other one is from the far west, showing that there is both pluck and talent in - the South to erapple with the most difficult and ex pensive mechanical arts and push them to success. i i meet nere many norm Carolinians who are all proud of their Own State and look with great "pleasure Upon the evidences of prosperity among her citizens. " '" hi -1 ' I am indebted to our - former , towns man and genial citizen, Thomas L.' La tham, for many courtesies and atten tion. He is, as he alwayslwas, deeply inter ested in his business, but if you J press him with a good joke you can still pro voke a laugh from him as clear and heai ly as when he was on the corner op posite where the Jewels cluster. ' Through him l was anoraea tne pleasure of hearing one, of a series of sermons to young men, by Rev.4 Dr." Burrows of "the city, which by the way, will be published in the columns oi i your enterprising neighbor tne new South. They are the emanation oi a highly cultured mind enriched with a graphic descriptive power, tliat at once carries conviction to the mind of the hearer that what he says is solid .truth. Better reading for the yOung men and women too, can be but seldom found. -,j N,S. - Stonewall Items.- No Journal reached our office? yes terday to the discomfort of all your subscibers here. This is the' second time within the last month.: Is it off to Jones this time or where f - Mr. J. Dean of Pamlico had his mills, both saw and grist, and cotton gin des troyed by fire last Friday night or Sat urday morning a little before day, sup posed to be the work of an incendiary nend. Mr. jjean nas tne sincere sym pathy of every good citizen in Pamlico. I have not been able to learn whether he was insured or not. The wet weather continues. Rain every day and a flood every two or three days; while I write it is pouring down. The jute crop that bid fair to yield such a bountiful crop three weeks since is reported to be a total failure, and corn and cotton is injured over half in the southern and eastern jiortion of the county and materially injured in every part. Rice and old corn still hold their own. Quite a boom in improvements in our section. Mr. O. D. Lane is build ing him a residence near here and a joint stock company of farm ers have organized and raised capital enough to build a gin house and fit it up with a tweiit horse power engine for the puipose of ginning ana grinding, not only for themselves but for all who wish to patronize them; and they are also going to run an extensive mercan tile business in connection witii tueir gin and muling business, lheir gin house is under way. It is being located about 4 miles below hereon Trent Creek near P. O. Lart. Mr. C. II. Fowler, of this place, is pre paring to build and fit up an elegant sa loon and other additions tnat nis traue requires. Mr. A. H. Hamlin has bought a lot iu this place and is preparing to build thereon a eomto.ible dwelling and there are many others that could lie mentioned, but I suppose 1 nave saul enough. Pink Hill (Lenoir Co.) Items- We siill continue to have showers in this section. I see cotton ;n some pla ces isbegii ling to shed. We made a trin t.o miner Jones coun tv a few days ago in the neighborhood of Mr. W. G. Fordham. He took us t.hrono-h a nortion of his crop. He has tho finnct. rrvllnri T have seen this vear Ho itit'nraiwl ns that, his nrosnects for a good crop so far were the best he had had lor a number ot years, nis crop showed sitrns of excellent cultivation He is indeed a model farmer. Crops cenerallv throuorhout this neighborhood " . " . . " 1...4- were looking exceeumgiy wen, uut they were fearing too much rain, as the showers were very frequent. We were shown a few days ago by Mr. J. K. Tyndal a patch of coUon, the seed of which he obtained a few years ago of Mr. W. G. Fordham. It is of the Simpson kind. Mr. Tyndal informed us that he had been trying to improve this cotton every year by selecting from the most well formed and boiled "stalks and thought he had succeeded in mak ing an improvement. We think it showed it beyond doubt. If farmers generally would adopt this plan of se lecting their seed we would make mucli more and better cotton. We had occasion to visit the Bush Branch section of Pink Hill hot long since in company with R. K. Noble. We made our first halt at Blaney Harper's, as he informed uf he had some excel lent cider that was not siceet. We dis mounted and tossed off a bumper to the ..Lly .- ,t;il of -.l that L... one 1 trout;!-, stand. nd taking liar libeling refreshed, man Noble's, the per aboard, IHU 1 i Aa wo neared old father of .our comrade, (Dick Noble) and who too is one of' bur 'worthiest neighbors. Dick informed us that they had cider, watermelons, etc., which we were not surprised to hear. Dick has certainly learned the art of making watermelons, as his patch conclusively allowed, fur 1 never saw ' so many fine watermelons in so small a place; but we are of the opinion that friend Dick . ia now studying the ai t of finding that "lost wife" of his, as we heard an old gentleman ask the question the other day: "Are you not most ready or me to- call you cousin yet V". This looks like strong symptons." "' . ...Dick has some fine cotton. . We did not see fcn'y more of his crop but took it for gra'nlei (having - examined his cot ton closely) that the corn, chufas, etc., was nice. After taking on a supply of watermelon and some good cider (they have no other kind) and mounted again and drove for old John K's. (Noble) as he is familiarly called.' Here in this-neighborhood, Messrs. Editors, a clever people -who it seems, they make it a part of their business to be content and happv Therr crops are excellent. . - ' ,'"r While in this ' neighborhood our at tion was somewhat attracted- to: the beautiful dwelling house ofMr.. Isaiah Smith,' Just across Buck branch .on3 a beautiful hill' from' Mr. - Noble.' 1 Isaiah is a stiring young man", ho. informed us the other day that the only thing he lacked was a good wife 'to arrange the furniture and inform him how. high to fix tlie mantle piece etc I have been informed that lie thought his 'heart had bursted and coming out under his arm, resembling in substance that of. brains.
