Aa the object of this road is unquestionably to reach tin mineral wealth of North Carol inn. we would < point you to the feet that I)r. Emmons in his report to the legislature of the Suite, declares thnt there are 43 squnru niilr.i, air* ady lrnown to he under'aid with the richer bituminous Coal, and if 100 tons are taken out daily from thia field 33000 tons wo-H be removed annually, one at this rote, it would trquire 300 years to remove the coal from ll)b0 acres, and 8S0O years to remove the caul from the 43 square t alius. In another iislituate, mado by Dr. Emmons. 1000 aerosol land with only a six foot "ein of coal givaa 9 million 300,0?.?t tons of coal, so that calculating the; coal ut but one dollar clear profit, upon eacb ; ton, u plantation of one thousand acre* will , give 9 million bflOjOOO dollarj. But the cal1 oaiatio-j as to quantity, says Dr. lliomons wili ' probably far exceed, than fall short of the as-1 - mates. A considerable capital has been al-! ready invested in the Coal Fields, nor leaa ' than 5 Id,000 dollars have been expended in i the purchase of Dual lv?'>n, and the highest ! price: as yufrpaid for land per acre is $6G only | think sf it. an sere of coal land costing only i $(>5 dollars is capable of producing 9800 tor's ! | it"eoai, worth atone dollar clear profit, SHOO 1 dollars, suppose it worth only 50 cents clear profit, still it gives 4900 dollars from an acre of iand, rnit putting it hey wid any question we will sot it down at 25 .cents per too, and still we have 2459 dollars from an aers of laud. But this is out all, another more important if posaible clement of wealth in this region, is the Black Baud Ore ns it la termed, 1 nn ore hitheitc found only in Scotland, and ; from which the Sootch pig is uiwww.

It ueeds no commendation from iu, receiving unanimously ^he highest p-aim and compliment from a very largo %nl intelligent audience. It was cbrste in language, ela.isioal in composition, happy in point of ar raiigtinont, end abounded in moat interesting illustrations. The subject, memory, was treated in a manner that showed in the lecturer, Dr. F FT, Dickson' of Charleston, not only the dee.p'y creed man of science, but the acuto leaaorcr, and tho accomplished scholar. The subject from its nature is one, a proper discus .Ion of which, necessarily calls to its aid much ofa?:urtninc iore, and on this Recount might subject a lecturer to.the risk of 1 eing tedious if not unintelligible to mn\r ii, a ?mxed audience. Ihis daiger we can candidly say. Dr. Dxck?o.v most happ escaped from. It is a tyult too common with many if not the majority uf pubKu lecturers, to commit one of two oirors, via: either in randeri .g too much to the papule? tostC, snaking a lecture on a fruitful subject a production of mere empty declamation, pleasing for the moment, proving nothing and instructing no one?or iti gniog to a n?U?>l audience a deep, philosophical disquisition, pluasant and pferhaps instructive to a few, hat tedious and productive of 110 good to a 1 \rgv portion of the audience. A lecturer should consult poputrr taste and prejudice, only to far ag if necessary to gain tbo attention of trig beareve; further than this, lie becomes a ?n*ro cateier to- whim nod passion. He should also ejew his aobjert from ever* point* to a?to present to the toind of hit bearers, ifte bearing open, and connection with, tho revrioe* theme? of Ufj? D.-.
