II is really astonishing that many Of our young
men, completing their education, securing license
to practice law, or receiving their medical diplomas
resolve to leaving their native State and seek Tor
fame and fQtunes abreads sThS raspng Epst s?t9

Now. it is certainly 4 nsssakeu notion, that tai
ents are not appreciated as highly here as in any
psrt Of the world. All experience proves thasg
doctors and lawyers have ever found abundant ems
ployment in our State, and qnacks, or indiherens
professional men, will find it q hard task TO succeed
anywhere. <f,o. st,,7e-a4ts saas e4u s..ei
True, there are many we'll read young men who
leave the State, without giving It fair trial, and
succeed abroad, but these would have succeeded ~
time, il they had remained at home. There will 81
ways be room for good professional men. Ehe old
champions, who by their industry and application
have won fortunes and filed the country with their
fame, passing away-and their places must be
filed. Our own young men, natives OF our State,
arc the most proper persons to fill their places
Why, then, should they not do il rather than 60 to
some distant State, where they would be re-
garded Is intrudrrs, and AZ persons who we're lnsr
BILE to cope withthe talent and energy OF their nae
tive State )? Our young men are needed at home
successful here on any part of the globe.
The spirit of emigration is also riffs among our
farmers. They complain Of the poor and worn out
lands Of North Carolina and the want OF sufficient
''elbow room" and forthwith pack up all their store,
and go west in search of richer lands. Thus they
easily accomplish but they find also the invariable
accompaniment CT rich lands in the west-an un,
healthy, moist climate Astounding in frvers that in
very few years undcrmines the soun,lest constitn-
tons. and leave the heahiest body and soutest arm
in situation far too weak to perform the ordinary
duties Of the farm. t3i.l ~. i~sIf' Ei12 e :,
And why should our farmers 60 west, in search
of rich lands or " elbow room" when there is such
an abundance Of both at homee Our State is sufi-
GENTLY varied, in climate and SOIL to suit the most
tastidious taste. IL our farmers wish to enjoy the
advantages Of good society, and level fertile lands
eastern North Carolina furnishes both 1T they
wish for ROOM and game and pleasure Of living with
but little labor the western portion OF the State, yet
comparatively unsettled furnishes all these advan-
tages. :,
There immense forests Of oak and hickory and
chesnnt stretch for miles over beautiful and fertile
lands, without a single human habitation. Here
game of almost every kind abund. The scenery,
too Is Of the grandest and most sublime character !;
mountains may be seen, lifting proud submits on
every side, and nearly every valley and rayine is wa
tered by crystal fountains We never saw scenery
that would compare in wildness and beauty with
that to be found in the western part Of North Caro-
lima. 1t is perfect luxury to travel in the sumner
time, among those mountain ridges, not only on &C
count Of the sublime views presented from their
SUBMITS but also to enjoy the healthy inspiring
brcezes by which they are ever famed.
No country afford greater advantages for rails
ing stock Of all kinds, than this. Grasses of the
most nutritious kinds are everywhere in abundance
There is no country where man can live easier,
than in the western part Of our State. The only
objection that be- raised to it by the most scrup.
ulous, is its unhandiness to any large market But
for this it might be regarded farmers paradise, 50
easily all the necessities Of life procured-N C.
