THI^ FAYETTEVILLE AND FLOR?
ENCE RAILROAD.
We take the following article from the Wil
ruington Star of yesterday :
We had the pleasure of a visit a few days
since from our old friend, Colonel William M.
L. McKay, who may not inappropriately be
termed the engineer (and a verv "civil" one,
at that,) of the Fayetteville ?nd Florence It ail
road.
Colonel McKay speaks hopefully of tbe pros?
pect, aud he bas good reason for doing so, as
the completion and equipment of the road is
gu?rante 3d by Northern capitalists, provided
$75,000 can be raised by the stockholders. This
amount the gallant old Town of Fayetteville
will no doubt contribute to this important
work. On tb> 16 h instant her citizens will
vote on the question of "Subacriptiou" or "No'
Subscription," and we feel assured it'will be
decided in the affirmative by an overwhelming
majority.
The properly-holders or Fayetteville can
afford to be liberal in this -matter. The com?
pletion or tbe extension of a railroad in almost
any direction will be advantageous to Fayette?
ville, ii that point be one of its termini, and
must result in an enhanced value of ail its real
estate.
The great object of tho friends of tho Fay?
etteville and Florence Road just now is to run
it as far as Shoe Heel, on the Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford Road, and thus placo
Wi]minston and Fayetteville iu close business
connection. And, viewed from thia standpoint,
it appears to ns that Wilmington might consult
her interest by aiding in the work.

^OCTETS HILLJ?. C., September 1,1869.-Thia
villageois one OT tbe most pleasant in the
State, and is noted for tlfe refinement and hos?
pitality of its people. Properly speaking it is
not a village, bat ratber a pleasant neighbor?
hood, as tbe bouses ore scattered for soma
three miles, from tbe railroad depot oat to tbe
sand hills. The inhabitants are, or were,
wealthy planters wbo own plantations upon
th?*river which are very productive, but in the
same ratio, unhealthy in summer. I hf-y very
wisely built themselves homes upon the hugh
gronuds, where they can reside all the year
round, instead of spending their winters on
their plantationsvaud their summers uncom?
fortably in log cabins in the pine lfcds. Their
plantations are within easy reach, and they
bav^ the advantages of proximity to oach-|
other, being so enabled to keep np their
churches and schools, have good doctors and
other necessaries of life. At the same time,
owing to community of feeling, they have few
or none of tbe evils and annoyances common
to moat villages and small towns. This vil?
lage, indee), might properly be known as
'?Good Society" Hill.
I attended to-day the meeting of the Porno
logical and Farmer's Club, and spent several
boors in listening to the discussions upon tbe
growing of small grains. Well will it be for
the farmers throughout the State, eapec'sUy in
this year of a small corn crop, if they come to
the conclusion arrived at by the club, viz: to
pay mora attention to the growing of small
crain, as a substitute at least in part tor corn.
Tbe culture of small grain takes mach lessf
work, and when garnered and left m the sheaf
to feed witn is much less etealable. THE
NEWS could render the farmers throughout
tbe State no greater or more lasting service
than by urging them to plant small grain. By
purchasing in each neighboring, aa in Califor?
nia and Texas, the improved implements for
sowing and reaping, the farmers could make it
pay mach better than planting corn.*
The club' awarded "tiver caps .to Mr. Ed wi rd
Mcintosh for the la. gest yield of oats per acre,
and to Ur. Griffin lo- tho largest yield of wheat
per acre. They have also offered prizes to tbe
successful competitors for cotton and corn
honors. Tbe prizes will all be presented at
some future day, which the dab propose cele?
brating by a dinner. The club his also bad
struck ott a Dumber of postent, offering a re?
ward of $100 for pr^of sufficient to cop viet any
one of baying stolen produce from members of
tb? club or others. Tbe club meets daring
tbe fruit seascu weekly aod during tbe
rest of tho year monthly. -At each meet?
ing some subject ?D keeping with the objects
ot the organization is discussed, and anissav
on that subject is ready. The next meeting of
tbe dab will be on the 6th of October, and
subject for discussion ie: "Preparation of cot?
ton for market."
After the adjournment of the club, we dis?
cussed tbe merits of four varieties of grapes
offered by tbe secretary, Major J. J. Lacas,
formerly of Charleston. Tbe major is a scien?
tific cultivator of many varieties ot grapes, and
bas made some native wine which resembles
hock. His grapery is extensive and he adds
new varieties rrcqneotly to bis already choice
selections. He now has some thirty different
kinds of grape, lt would be well if each neigh?
borhood "fpfce State had a similar club.

THE PARENT OF TBE PRESIDENT.
AN INTERVIEW Vilm JE3SE GRANT.
His Opinion of Negroes, Carpet-Bag
ajera. Dividing thc \ation. and I'lyi
sea' Tenure of Office.
There being a great dfvsrsity of opinion in
regard to tbe political and other sentiments of
the father of tbe Presideut, the Cincinnati In?
quirer dispatched a reporter to the home of (he
lged author of the "greatest living hero," with
instructions to interview the old gentleman, and
report the result. Inquiring if the old gentle?
man was in, the reporter was informed by the
joy that Mr, Grant was in the back room.
Proceeding to the back room pointed out by
:be boy, the reporter found the door open and
?he room empty. On tho table, however, was
i much worn silk hat and a spotted silk hand
terchief, which indicated tbe proximity of the
)wner. While awaiting tbe arrival of the,own
sr, the reporter took a survey or tbe apart
neat, a plain room, furnished with one stand,
:wo desks, and several cane-bottom chairs and
i soiled carper. The reporter had but a few
ii mut es to wait. A nasal blast from tbe direc
ion of tho back door announced that the pro
toscis of the father of the President was being
ilown. The next minute the door opened, and
to old man of perhaps six fest stature and two
jundred pounds weight, witb broad and slight
y stooped shoulders, gray hair and whiskers,
lim, spectacled eyes, and a gait that indicated
'eebleness, walked in, and the reporter stood
lat in hand, in the presence of tbe great father
>f the greatest living hero.
Most of what, was said by the Venerable Pa
.ent would bo of no interest to the readers of
WE NEWS. Wo only givo thc striking points
>f the interview.
BE IS DOWN ON NIGGERS.
After a bnef pause, Mr. Grant said, "I don't
alaine people much if they are rebels. I am
apposed to having niggers vote. I always was
and always will be. I wouldn't now, and never
will vote for niggers. If 1 woe an able-bodied
roung man, and was elected to the.Legislature,
anda nigger was elected to sit alongside o?-me,
[ would say, 'Nigger, take both seats."'
Reporter. The Republicans say they consider
t necessary to adopt negro suffraee in the
rebel 8tatca, m order to control tho "disloy?rl"
dement.
HS OPINION OF FANATICS AND CARPET-BAGGER?.
President's Father. Well, it waa during tho
var that a lot of Radical Abolitionists and fa
?atics. got themselves into tbe Republican
laxly, and have ruled it eve) since. Them and
bose carpot-Backers. who went down there to
'teal, have foisted this thing on tbe people or J
ho States. The States could have been a
irreat deal better constructed without it, and
.here will be trouble about it yet, while Vir
rinia and Tennessee have as good as voted
igamst it now.
DIVIDI SG THE COUNT M.
If 1 hai my way, and it could be peaceably
lone, I'd divide the country into two separate
aatione. lt would ba better for both. I'd
iraw a lino from tbe eastern border of Texas
M Alaska, and put all weat of that under a
separate government. I'J bave treaties of ?
imity and commerce between the two nations
ike those between the Slates, and free trade,
jr pretty near so. The people would live more
jeaceably aud be more happy. The Western
Dation could take Mexico and all south of that,
ind the Eastern take Canada. Canada is bound
:o be ours anv way, some day; but we don't
want Cuba or Mexico.
Reporter. Tho General never took much in
:erest in politics before now, did he ?
President's Father. Ho never said much,
io more than bc dpes now; but he always
matched closely, and knew what was going on.
ULYSSES WILL HANG ON TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
Reporter. I supposa Genetal Grant will bo
sick of tho place before his time expires, and
will not care to have it another term.
President's Father. I don't know. He won't
rant to retire trom public life while ho is to
?oung. It would go pretty bard with bim, I
hink, to give up the White House.
THE PRESIDENT OWES HIS SUCCESS TO HI8
PARENTS.
After discussing a variety of topics of no
lublic interest, the conversation turned upon
he earlv life of General Grant, a subject on
.vhicli the old gentleman, with pardonable'
atherly love and pride, delights to dwell.
.?General Grant," said be, "had a better
?ba?os to succeed in life than President Lin
:oln, and owes more of his succ?s* to his fath
;r. Lincoln's father was a very poor man, and
lever gave his son any education; all he got he
licked up himself, and all the property he had
ie earned by bis own labor. I was never very
loor after Ulysses was born; I was poor when
roting, but before I got mimed 1 hal earned
'1500, hut 1 lost that two years af erw .rds.
I soon picked up again, and have made money
?versmco. I have always had plenty of the
lecessaries and comforts of life, and never
ivan ted any of the luxuries. I have given all
>f my child.on good educations, and have made
:ticm all rieb."
1 his concluded the conversation, and our
reporter bieft-he old gentleman gqpd-bye, well
aleaa"d with the gentlemanly manner in which
io bad been received, and the coodnatured
rankness exhibited by the President^ father
n answtr to his questions.

pants of the stalls actually cowered down; for
a few moments the noiso .wis terrific, when
.populi' became quiet, and awaited with pa?
tience tho great University boat race scene
with which the drama concludes. The play is
an overwhelming- success."
-Another of Mr. George W. Ripley's letters,
in the Tribune, describes the journey from
Liverpool to London. Ho regards the English
anangements for railroad trav;l as far prefer?
able to our system, and especially agree?
able to him was tho absence of baggage
checks. ?"To be sure." ho says, "it >ou
lose a trunk you bava perhaps more diffi?
culty in recovering it, but the chanco of
loss, under the English management, is
comparatively small." His arrival iu the
London station was surprising from its
quiet and absence of confusion ; no crowds
of eager friends surrounded the car?
riages ; tho hackmca were silent aud re
spectfrl, waiting the summons of travel?
lers without urging their services; the railway
porter took tho baggage from thc van and put
it on the one-horse coach, which rolled easily
through the streets, although the load was one
which an American coachman would hardly
have taker with two horses. When thc hotel
was readied, three silver shillings am\ ly com?
pensated the driver, who was sati-fled that he
had fallen iuto generous hands, and wisely and
instantly resolved to seek only American pa?
trons in the future. "How mtieh the same
service would bavo cost in New York," writes
Mr. Ripley, 'T have neither room nor pxtience
to calculate." ?
-A Vienna paper gives an amusing account
of the refreshments which thc singers at the
opera there are in Hie habit of taking between
tho acts to keep their voices in good order.
Each singer, it appears, has his or her own
peculiar specific. The Swedish tenor Libatt
takes "two salted cucumbers" for a dose, and
declare* that this vegetable is the best thing
in the world for. strengthening the voice ind
giving it "tho true metallic ring. ' The other
eingere, however, do not seem to be of this
opinion. Sontheim takes a pinch of snuff and
drinks cold lemonade; Wachtel eats the yolk of
an eg< baaten up with sugar; Steger, "the mo&t
corpulent ot tenors,'' drinks "the brown juice ol
the gambrinue;" Walter, cold black coffee; Nio
mann, champagne; and Tieb.ttcuek, mulled
claret. Ferenezy, the tenor, smokes one or two
cigars, which his colleagues regard as so much
poison. Mlle. Braun-Brini takes after the first.
act a gil ss of be|r, after the third and four h
a cup of cafe au lait, and before the great duct
in the fonrth act of the "Huguenots" always a
bottle of Moet Cremant Bose. Nachbanr
munches bonbons during the performance;
Bubsam, the baritone, drinks mead; Matter
wurzer and Kandermann sucks dried plums;
Robinson, another baritone, drinks soda-water:
FormeB takes Pyrtor, and Arabanek Gumpold
skirchner wine ! The celebrated baritone Beck,
on the other hand, takes nothing at all, and
refuses to speak. Drax'er smokes Turkish to?
bacco and drinks ar glass of beer. Another
singer, Dr. Scbmid, regulates his diet accord?
ing to the state of his voice at thc time. Some?
times he drinks coffee,, sometimes tea, and a
quarter-of an hour afterwards lemonade, mead
ot champagne, taking snuff between whiles,
and eVbg apples, plums and dry bread; a. |
very liberal arrangement. . .
AN EARTHQUAKE COMINO,
A California Savant Predicts a Heavy
Shouing-up of Things In September
or October.
The San Francisco Chronicle publishes tho
following prediction, made by a local philoso?
pher, W. Frank Stewart:
Daring tbe past eightean months the earth
and other planets completed tho most remark?
able conjunction wbich bas ever occurred; and
on the Dight of the 14th of last November we
again witnessed the grand thirty-four year
star-swarm. Every intelligent person is aware
that for a period of nearly two years our globe
bas been subjected to violent perturbations,
auch as have not before occurred for many
centuties. These perturbations have been
generally over the surface of the planet. Storms,
typhoons, volcanoes, earthquakes, intense cold
and scorching winds have alternately spent
their fury upon the denizens of every hemi?
sphere. Bv careful observations, astronomers
hava lound that in a period of about eleven
years Ihe sun turns towards us a remarkably
spotted diec, and it has also been observed that
any sudden changes of light and shade upon the
sun daring this spotted period instantly affect
terrestrial magnates. It is well known that in
the autumn ot 1859 ont of these sun-spot per?
turbations was immediately followed by one
ol the most brilliant Aurora Borealis over wit?
nessed in the northern hemisphere; and still
more surprising tho magnetic effect of the
aurora was BO great that messages were freely
sent over telegraphic lines without connection
with the batteries and bv means of the auroral
current alone. Many additional facts, showing
the connection of celestial with terrestial mag?
netism, might bd given, but I bavo neither the
time nor room at present. Suffice 'it to say,
that as the earth's magnetic forces aro now,
and for many months havo been, greatly dis?
turbed by cosmical ii fluciices; and as we have
rec-mtly made our annual transit through tho
nebulous belt: and as the sun's surface is at
thia moment disfigured by an unusual number
ol spots; and as the moon on tho 71 h ultimo
passed between ns and the sun, thereby caus?
ing an additional magnetic disturbance upon
tho earth; and as we on the Pacific ooast are
now experiencing an unusually protracted dry
season, the invariable precursor of temblors in
this part ot the world, for the foregoing and
many other potent reasons, I predict a heavy
earthquake to take place early next antumn, as
soon as moist clouds float into the dry, vapor
less atmosphere. ff

ANCE COMPANY, ATLANTA DEPARTMENT.
To the Ptopl: of South Carolina:
The above Company was organ'zed in 1866, in
consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Somborn
policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled
success of die enterprise has forced several of these
companies to restore their Sout-ern policies, from
the fact that they could not operate in our midat
without the appearance of honesty.
We keep all onr money at home to build up our
Impoverished country-every dollar of premium
being safely invested in the State from which it la de?
rived. The institution is purely Southern, and hence
should appeal with great force to the patriotism and
and sympathy of every Southern heart.
'Iis oot our purpose to make war on other com?
panies, but to exhibit the special advantages off. red
by thu purely Southern Company-founded cn'
patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to
liabilities-the true test of a company's strength-is
second to none on this continent, being nearly $300
to $100.
Whenever and wherever we have presented the
claims of tbis Company, it ba-* not only enlisted the
sympathies of our people, but has also secured their
hearty co-operation. We have secured 603 policies
in South Carolina since the 10th of February. We
number among our Directora General Warle Hamp?
ton and Colonel Wm. Johnson, gentlemen well
known to every citizen of South Carolina. We ap?
peal personally to the people of South Carolina to
assist in pushing forward this deservedly popular
South ern institution. J. H. MILLER,

mW SOLOMON'S BI LTER8.-THIS PRE?
PARATION, compounded by one of our oldest and
most esteemed diuggists, has, during the short time
in which it has been offered to the public, attained
a reputation which has almost entirely driven out of
market the various tonic1 and stimulant* which, for
a few mon bp. by exorbitant puffingand heavy ad?
vertising, succeeded in building a profitable busi
nesftor their projectors.
So'omon's Bitters aro not of the flashy style, de?
pending upon large advertising, bought puffs and
fictitious recommendations Idt a sale to a gullible
publie. Their composition is well%nown to and ap?
proved by many of our best physicians, and the pro?
prietors depend upon tbe inlriusic merits of their
medicine to make it as popular as lt is curative.
They do nctpretend to offer a medicinal prepara?
tion that will cars all thc ills that flesh in herr to,
but they do contend that tho judicious use of these
Bitters will greatly alleviito human suffering, and
bring very many to a state of comparative health
who have long been strangers to that grrat blessing.
Ono good genuine recommendation of any pro?
fessed curative (fs worth dozens or hundreds of
bought certificates, and the Messrs. SOLOMONS
have only published a fow ont of the hundreds of un?
solicited testimonies which the hive received. We
this morning give a copy of a letter from Hon. ALIX.
H. STEPHENS, whoso peculiarly enfeebled condition
for the past six months has been known te the whole
