MIR. CLINGMAN AND THE BLACK
MOUNTAIN

In the Asheyille News we find letter
from Hon. Thomas L. Clingman ON the
subject of the highest peak of the Black
Mountain. This letter was called out by
communications which have recently ap-
peared in the Fayetteville Observer, Raj
eigh Register, and National Intelligencer,
claiming that the late Prof. Mitchell was
the discoverer of the highest peak of said
mountain. Mr. Clingman says:
There is perceptible effort in a GER
tain quarter to produce on the public mind
an impression which l regard as erroneous,
and which feel confident, with the evil
dence i'll my possession, | can dispel.
Sincerely lamenting in common with the
whole State the sudden and melancholy
death of the late Prof. Mitchell, l would
gladly have been relieved from the necessity
of recurring to this subject. Being willing
to let the former controversy rest where it
did at the close of his life, think his friends
might we'll have done so likewise, inasmuch
as had left his last publication unanswered.
As, however, some of them persist in at
lacking me from time to time, directly or
indirectly, the responsibility of continu-
ance of such a controversy must rest on
them. AS the ground now taken by them
is different, and in fact directly opposite,
to the position occupied by Prof Michel in

Mr. Clingman then goes on to argue at
length to prove that he himself discovered
and measured the highest peak in 1855
that Prof. Mitchell never made the discov-
cry claimed by him and his friends-that
he did not make it in 1885 as contended by
some of his friends, and cites his prof. Ms }
own acknowledgements as proof.
We should be pleased to lay the whole
letter before our readers, but it's length
(nearly six columns) renders it impossible.
