claim upon this or any other community,these

channel, and be found uidispcnsibly necessary
to bnpport a population, the nucleus
of which mat lit1 nlr? ;idv seen, forming in tho J
mineral regiou .'ftlte 8'?te. 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. This'
era is said *o be found "in an 18 inch vein in 1
ih?; mtver country, owe ca Deep River in Worth j
Csroliuu, Lhr. Kmraoo.: state! that it ia three fuel 1
in thickness, and i* close proximity to lh<-j
ooul. The idvunUpe of this iron ore. c*? r \
any other, is th* froSty of producing the metal
without lb 1 eoet involve! in the reduction
of other iron ores. The following data as .to
onantity of thin ore may he raited nrvin. The
fitet refn reached of iron ore, U tbe argillaceW3
oxide, 6 reel thick, sod about 333 feet
from the surface, this will gi ro 18 million* of
tons of are U> the sqture mil*, which will yield
( million toes of itAilroed iron, and that at 40
dollars per ion, would yield 248 million dollars
and 78 fret below this, is a vain of 41 f?et of

Wednesday erouiii); tho Prit ins',., was one of
those finished productions 'hat will ever be
remembered by *11 who heard it, a* a literary
gem. 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.-. IHcxhok, * <<.rod
in ft happy manner,? medtnm course between
those two erfla. He pleased ail, and jnstruc*
tod all. We would ad rise II Lyceums and
Htnrsrj MNOeiations, throughout the Uate to
eftll upon Dr. 8. H. Ditxaox for ft lecture?lor
wa reg:ud fcim an one of the bright and shining
light*, of our state.
