ber 250,000 feet, at a cost of not less than 875,000. Of this class of freight, for the five months of this year ending on the 1st of June, 3,500,000 pounds were received over the different railroads; while for the same period the shipments of finished work from the factory exceeded 1,500,000 pounds. The products of this establishment, as well as of the North Carolina Works, are sold principally in Europe, though heavy shipments are made to various poiuts in the United States. It will thus be seen how essential are railroads to the successful prosecution of any business involving enterprise, skill and industry. In this instance, Col. McMahon may have been benefitted?your writer only hopes such was the ?Ki,f mao Vio tho nnlv nersnn ? We have UUK nuo UV VMV v? . . seen that constant employment, at remunerative wages, varying of course according to the capacity and employment of the workmen, is given by this one establishment to one hundred and fifty men ; the sum of $75,000 is disbursed annually among the adjacent farmers and land-owners for timber, which otherwise would be worthless or sold as fire-wood at $2 per cord; while, as I have said above, the dormant and lethargic energies of the people all around have been awakened, and buildings and shops are going up in every direction. One enterprise begets another, and the "emigration" of which our southern economists and politicians constantly prate, rattling a few rusty uickles in their pockets the while, instead of being coaxed and persuaded, flows in of its own volition, increasing our wealth and adding to our general prosperity. I have already exceeded ray limits, else I could write of many other objects of interest in this place and vicinity; but my purpose is accomplished in showing to your own people what is doing near them, and what they have the ability to do themselves. York county, rich in the best iron in the United States; rich in the possession of illimitable water-power ; rich in timber; rich in a generous and grateful soil; the most genial clime, and a noble and worthy people; could, if they only willed it, be made the most desirable and flourishing spot on the American Continent. vttwy.i. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM WESTERN NEW YORK. Buffalo, August 28,1873. the races. Wei), the races are over, and the twenty thousand people who came to witness the performances of horse-flesh have gone home, many of them wiser and poorer men. About half a million dollars is said to have changed hands in the way of bets. As to the amount that changed hands by reason of bankrupts having to borrow enough to get home, we have no reliable statistics. 1 did not go out to the races myself, and don't know anything about who won or who lost, and care less; but I hear of one horse who walked off with a purse of ten thousand dollars. I also hear of five sports who lost eight thousand dollars at the Mansion House. But they did not lose it on horses?quite the contrary; a burglar entered their room, took the money, and retired to the country. It is supposed he enjoyed the races very much. the cholera. The people of Buffalo are scared about the cholera. They are cleaning the streets and sprinkling lime in the back alleys. This is all very well, but a far worse disease than cholera stalketh among them at noonday, taking its hundreds every year; yet, this scourge awakens no attention. Consumption, dread destroyer ot the race, a disease which paints the cheek of death with the hue of life, is con tinually and fatally at work among the people of the lake shore country. It carries oft' five hundred where the cholera takes one, yet one case of cholera will throw a whole community into a frenzy of excitement. Perhaps it is because of the suddenness, taking the victim off before he has time to arrange his affairs in this world or prepare for the next. We all shrink from sudden death, prefering that which draws its slow length through months, rather than that which snaps life's brittle thread in a few brief hours. RAILROADS. This is an age of steam, and New York is becoming a net work of railroads. New lines are being built in all directions, and the demand for laborers is such that two dollars and two dollars and a half a day are paid. A man and his team earns four dollars and a half a day. There is no need of a man being out of employment here if he wants to work. The New York Central Railroad, reaching from here to New York, is putting down four steel rail tracks; a double track for passenger trains and a double track for freight. This is a magnificent road, their fast trains making forty miles an hour. MONEY. I hear much complaint here in the North about scarcity of money. You of the South are not the only sufferers iu this particular. Just now every section of the country seems to labor under financial distress. Money here commands a higher rate than ever before ntnAA m?aw Pnoinaoo man fhinlr tKmr aiUUU LUC nait uuctuvcw ui?U vutua iuvj smell a crisis ahead. Let it come. I think a good old fashioned crisis is what we need. Like a violent storm it would have a purifying effect. BACK PAY. The hard times and heavy taxes haves'^ed the dimensions of the uproar against Congress for stealing two millions of dollars from the Treasury. It looks now as if none of the poor Congressional devils could live down the unpopularity they have created for themselves. Let them go. Not one of the scamps who partook of the steal deserve ever to be put into office again. If they are put anywhere it should be into the penitentiary where they belong. So far as I have observed, not a paper in New York upholds the steal. The thieves are left without support. The way of the transgressor is hard, especially a transgressor who steals five thousand dollars in a lump. SAI) CONDUCT OF A WICKED YOUNG MAN. From an adjoining county I hear a little story, which is probably not true. A rural congregation sent to the city for an eminent minister to address them. He came, and, of course, a collection was taken up. The minister not being acquainted in those parts, designated a meek looking young man who set near the pulpit to take up a collection. The young man cheerfully complied. He had a plug hat. This plug hat he passed arouud until it was full. He then thrust it under his arm, and ran out ot tne churcn use Jigntniug. He was evidently trying to be a Congressman on a small scale. The preacher looked very solemn and said : "If that young man has run off with that money he will be damned." An old Deacon who was watching the flying young man from the window excitedly replied, "Well, Parson, if he aint run away I'll be damned!" COOL WEATIIEIl. So far this has been a cool mouth. The mercury to-day marks but 61. A cool breeze blows from the lake. We have had much rain, more in fact than is good for the farm ers. They complain of ruined oats and hay. Up here, you must remember, August is the season for cutting oats and hay. I see many fine fields of oats in the country not yet cut. The hay, however, is mostly saved. Nemo.

Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, in His wise Providence, to remove our dearly beloved young friend and sister, Miss Gkna Jefferys, from our midst. Though young in years, yet she was old in actsof charity and kindness, spreading sunshine wherever she went. In her relations of life, either as friend, daughter, sister or teacher, she was ever the same?dutiful and amiable, and gentle as summer to those she loved, and kind to all she met. By her death the Methodist Episcopal Sunday School has lost one of its best teachers. Closely attending to her duties, she was able to gain the confidence of the young, and the respect of the old. One so young, so good, so full of promise, it is indeed sad to contemplate her early death. True it is that "death loves a shining mark." Her patient resignation during hersevercand protractI o<i illnpQu ftiirl niiict death, all evoke both our em ulation and sympathy. Resolved, 1st. That we submit with Christian resignation to the will of Him who is too wise to err, and too good to be unkind. Resolved, '2d. That we deeply sympathize with the bereaved parents in their affliction. As it is not in our power to console the mourning hearts, mav tho knowledge that the departed is with uhm.u' ami 1UUK.S uuh 11 upon mem Willi 1UVU, CUIII1 fort them. Resolved, 3d. That by the death of our highly feteemed friend, the community, church and sunday school, sustain an irreparable loss. Resolved. 1th. That a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, a copy furnished to theSecretary of the Sunday School, to be entered in his record book, and a copy sent to the Yorkville Enquirer for publication. To Merchants Everywhere! thk wholesale house of wittkowskv <fc rintels sends greeting: Too well and favorably known in North and South Carolina, parts of Tennessee and Virginia, and too long established (since 1807) the proprietors deem it unnecessary in again coming before the public and soliciting their patronage to go into along tlourish as to their immense stock and commensurate will and ahilility to sell Goods Low. We therefore content ourselves by simply announcing that our business having increased $200,(100 in one year, and Charlotte having additional railroad facilities, warrants us in still more itwrntiuiiifr nnr stock. We shall have in store l>v the 10th of September, a stock of three hundred thousand dollars, ($300,000) consisting of full lines of every class ofgoods that go to make a complete assortment for a Store, which we otter to the trade at competing prices with any Jobbing House from New York to New Orleans. All we ask, come, and we will make good the above assertion. Merchants in North Carolina have the additional advantage, that by buying in the State, they have no purchase tax to pa}'. We also have a retail department, where we keep everything from common to the very best. Also, have a Carpet and Millinery department. WITTKOWSKY <fe RINTKLS, Charlotte, N. C.
