THE LEADING OBJECTS OF THE COM
i pANN are to encourage immigration TO our
State, and to supply the demand for every descrp-
They propose to accomplish the first of these
objects by purchasing lands, where suitable water
power or other advantages may be had for manu-
featuring purposes; and also by purchasing lands,
in large tracts, cities, rivers and railroads
These lands will be divided into suitable lots or
tracts and alternate tracts sold to the immigrant
at or near cost, the purchaser paying One.tourth
cash and the remainder IN one, two and three
years.
landholders who desire to have their lands colo
niZed.
The Company proposes to supply the demand
for labor by furnishing Mechanics Gardeners, and
all description of labOrers. They will secure this
labor by being able to guarantee employment at
remuneratve prices in the most healthy and
genial climate Of the world, and they expect to
satisfy the employer by guaranteeing the deliver
ing of the laborcrs to him at any shipping point
or railroad station. Our system for furnishing all
kinds Of labor to all parts Of the State we expect
TO make perfect For the detail we refer to our
circular on labor.
The profits of the Company will be derived from
the ultimate sale Of the alternate tracts of lands
retained and from the building up of villages and
towns in places adapted TO that purpose, and from
the aiding Of manufactures and the general deNel-
Opment OF the AGRICULTURAL and mineral resources
Of the State and also from the direct fees derived
from the supplying Of operatives.
The basis Of our stock being the lands Of tne
Company, any Improvement Of them must enhance
the value of the stock in the ratio, and there
by be safe and profitable investment to the
stakeholder.

The Last Victory.

The future historian will carefully detail the
circumstances of the bombardment of Fort
Sumter and the first Southern victory at Big
Bethel. From these by natural law of
thought he will turn to record the last victory.
To enable him to place this subject in pro-
per light the following record is made:
Ashvile, N. c., as the seat of the Confede-
rate States Armory, and head of military
district, had long been threatened from East
Tennessee. The first week in April, 1885, it
had been ascertained that a brigade, COM
manded by Col. Kirby, of the Federal army,
was advancing up the French Broad river.
The Confederates had SO INSTRUCTED the APP
proaches which, with bis greatly superior
numbers, COL Kirby expected an easy victory,
or surrender without contest. On APP
preaching the Confederate works, some three
miles below town, be found Col. Palmer's
Brigade in line of battle. The fighting COM
menced at one o'clock on Tuesday, the 7th
day of April, and lasted until dark. The ad-
vanta ges we've clearly in favor Of the Con-
federates. Gen. Martin, during the night
changed the position of his command, and
prepared to renew the contest at the next
dawn. But Col. Kirby, so much more roughly
handled than he anticipated, awaited himself
of the cover of darkness to make good his es-
cape The next morning found the Yankee
commander under forced march for East Ten
nessee This, from its locality, will be called
the battle of Woodfn's farm 1t was de-
cided victory to the Confsderacy.
Determined on the reduction of Ashvile,
and Western Carolina, Brigadier General Gill
liam was soon after Kirby's defeat found to
be approaching from the East, by way of
Salamanca Gap, with heavy cavalry. Col.
James r. Love, with his regiment, reduced by
desertions and other causes to from two to
three hundred men, was placed in charge of this
Gap, while the balance of Gen. Martins forces
guarded other passes through which the enc
my might attempt to advance. On the 18th
of April, Gen. Gillian attempted to cross the
Blue Ridge at Swannanoa Gap. He had as
many thousands as Col. Love had hundreds,
but the advantages opposition were so decided
ly in favor of Love that he easily repealed
his assailant and compelled Gillian to aban-
don that road to Ashvl!e. He reached Ash
vile under flag of truce during the Sherman
and Johnston Armistice There was little
fighting and victory to the Confederates West
of the Mississippi after this, but the battle of
Woodins Farm on the 7th land of Swannanoa
Gap on the 18th of April, 1865, were the last
victories of the Confederacy East of the Father
of Waters.
According to the above statement, the last
fight and last victory of the war. as well as
the first, was fought and gained by the North
Carolina troops.-AshviHe NeWs.

RAISING REvENUE.-A friend explains
the present system of raising the revenue as
follows:
"Now, you see, in the first place, they get
the hang of feller's business. That is taxed.
Then they find out how much he earns every
month, and that's taxed. Then they find out
all about his profits, and on that they lay
their tax Then they manage to get some
tax on what he owes. Next comes what they
call income, and that's taxed. Then, if any
thing is left, the preacher calls around and
gifts it to sustain the church and convert the
heather.
Paris correspondent describes the latest
new bonnet as sin shape not unlike the bar

squarey on the top of the wearer's head,
like the cover of dinner pot, 1t is fastened
to its place by means of ribbons about as wide
az your two hands, and tied under the chin,
forming gigantic bow rather larger than the

writ of Habeas Corpus.

The Savannah Ne,oS and Herald, of the
18th, contains the following:
The case of John Arthur and Thomas Pit
man was brought before the Inferior Court
of Chatham county yesterday, by virtue of
writ of hdbeas corpus issued by the Inferior
Court i'll their favor.
1t appears that Arthur and Pitman were
arrested in Emanuel county, on the 25th of
March, 1866, by the United States military
authorities, upon the complaint of negro
who alleged that they had stolen his mules.
They were imprisoned at Fort Pulaski, and
subsequently at the Jail, having been turned
over to the civil authorities under General
Brannan's recent order The petition of the
applicants set forth ''that they are Illegally
detained and deprived of their personal lib
erty against their will and incarcerated in
the Jail of Chatham county and Fort Pulas-
XII, without any accusation made on oath, or
any lawful warrant or commitment nor
neither have the petitioners been tried for the
said alleged offences by the military authors
ties of the United States, but the said au-
thorities have abandoned their charge, and
turned over the bodies of the petitioners
to the jailor of Chatham county who now
holds and detains them without lawful war;
rant, committant or authority.
D. A. O'Byrne and Levi S, RUSSELL Esqs.,
appeared for the petitioners, and after an ar
gument by Judge O'Byrne, based upon the
recent peace proclamation of President john
son, and the order of the department COM
mander, the petition was granted, and the
order issued by the court to release the pris-
oners from imprisonment. The Judgment is
signed by Judges Knapp Screven and Will
hanson.

The Farmers.

We sincerely hope that the agriculturists of
Virginia are as fully convinced of the i'm
portance of their labors this year, as are
all other classes in the State. We are living
on credit now. Let us not disguise the fact
Virginia is fatally bankrupt, unless her tillers
of the soil produce suficiency to meet her
engagements next fall and winter. We have
spoken on this subject hitherto, but we feel
that we cannot too frequently urge the most
untiring and enterprising industry upon all
who possess an acre of productive land. Our
corn, wheat and tobacco will have to be album
dant crops, or our debts will have to go unpaid
or we will starve. Let the widest extent of
ground be worked, and let it be worked well,
and we are safe; we are no longer poor, and
we enter hopefully on new career of plenty
and progress. A failure in our staples this
year, however, will be a source OF great and
long continued embarrassment to us. We all
look to the farmer with fear and trembling,
and yet with hope. He holds the destinies
of all in his hand; and the prayer of US all is,
"speed the pillow" -Richmond Examiner.

GOLD ON THE PoToMAc-Gold and silver
and all the more valuable metals, seem to ex-
list in great profusion in almost every county
in Virginia, and in many counties in Mary
land We have several times alluded to the
discovery of gold on the Potomac, few miles
above Georgetown, on the Maryland side. We
now learn that sufficient indications of gold
bearing quartz have been discovered on the
Virginia side Of the Potomac, opposite those
on the Maryland shore, which are about one
mile and half below the Great Falls, to in

surprised but Dobbin had gone to sleep, for
he could plough as well asleep as awake.
"What are we going back for?' he asked,

Dobbin just glanced across the field as his

A New York SWindle.

A citizen of West Virginia, who was re-
Gently swinded by means of flash adver-
tisement in one of the New York papers, has
written to Mayor Hoffman, of that city, de-
string him to expose the rascality. 1t seems
that be had been yictimzed by a certificate
which entitled the holder to an English patent
tme-keeper," upon the payment of 1926, to
be delivered without further charge. This
time-piece is small piece of pasteboard on
which was printed the months of the year,
and the morning and evening hours of the
day In three corners of the "table" are
small hour-glasses, and in the right hand up
per corner are placed the months of the year.
A small portion of the card is cut to act as a
gnomon. A silk thread with one end sliding
along the months swings along the face of the
board, making the hours accord to the inclina-
ton of the board
The one we have seen is apparently
calculated for the latitude of London, but is,
Of course, incorrect for this latitude, as it de-
ponds upon the suns altitude for its position
The entire value of the "time- keeper" may
be ten cents in England, but the difference of
latitude renders it of no value here.

operators require no sleep at all. Lawyers can
sleep as much as they choose, as they will thus
be kept out OF mischief. Clergymen are al

their parishes to sleep once a week.
