of the ancient greatness Of the South, which he
so highly celebrates That must have been

its existence. We happen to be familiar with

trace a monument On = h06nl bowever iusig-

State, which at all ecEpsed the existing state OF
things. So far from it, we are glad to believe
that the people Of North Carolina have greatly
improved in intelligence and virtue, in arts and
agriculture, within thirty or forty years, not
withstanding the degeneracy of public senti-
ment on the subject of Slavery. The popula-
ton has doubled, the towns have increased
three-fold, farms long worn out have been re-
claimed, railroads have been built, common
schools established, and the use of the print
Great improvement has taken place in the
style of building houses, in town and country,
as every one can see; and it is universally
allowed that the slaves are better housed and
fed, and more regard is paid to their social
rights than was accorded to them by our ances-
tors. The opinions of politicians have under

more intelligent, and therefore more humane.

BLACK-BALLED BY THE BLACK REPUB-
LICANS.

The National Era publishes an article from
this paper, in which we speak our minds very
freely about the disunionists, who have banded
together and stolen the respectable name of
Republicans. 1t adds
The american Organ is a candidate for the
House printing. Let every member, who wish
es to be called a Republican, remember that
interesting fact in connection with this fatter-
ing article"
We apprehend that it scarcely needed that
the Era should impress the fact of our hostili-
ty, as a reason why the Blackies should not pat
ronize us, even if we were so recreant to every
sense of propriety as to ask their suffrages We
imagine the colored organ itself has sent circu-
lars to the returned members" and it is in
pleasant anticipation of pocketing the Federal

They were merely desperate scramblers for

gallant gentleman steps forward to rescue a
fair lady from some imminent peril of wet feet or
skirts, but the rock on which she is poised is
LOO narrow for both, and down he slides into
the water, lucky indeed if he does not carry
the lady with him.
And here we come to the three cascades.
This fall is more wild and picturesque than the
one below. The principal cascade is seen from
the bed of the stream below; the two lesser ones
fall behind rock, which parts the stream above.
The highest of these falls is full fifty feet. The
volume of water is not great, but it appears to
the best advantage. In the principal one, the
fall is broken about midway by projecting
point of rock, from which the water dashes OF
! in bright sheet foaming and sparkling into
the dark, deep pool below. On the other side
the lesser cascades fall over rough, irregular
rocks. nearly perpendicular, but breaking the
