A COLONY OF EARLY SETTLERS IN
MECKLENBURG COUNTY. N. C.

1t was matter of astonishment to the writer,
few days ago, on seeing the cone of the long
leaf pine at the house of neIghbor, to learn
that it grew in the vicinity. Since every one
knows that in coming from the low country,
that that kind of tree ceases to grow at almost
; exact line, and other varieties of pine sue
ceed. So great is the contrast between the
height of the trunks, the length Of the leaves,
and the size Of the cones, compared with
other species, that any traveller would notice
them To satisfy ourselves visited the local
ity, and sure enough, here at least sixty miles
from their proper habitation, about 5 miles from
Beatties Ford, and mile from Bethel
Church, in solitary grandeur rise few trees of
the family of Australis Pinus, sighing and whis
pering in the wind, just as described so long
ago by Theocrtus, the Greek poet, who uses
word descriptive of the sound, psithurisma-
They stand in the vicinity of, and among their
cousins, Juops Pinus, Variablis Pinus, Taeda
Pinus, Loblolly Pine, &c, &c. Specimens of
the white or silver pine (Strobus) are not very
remote The trucks of these specimens do not
indeed attain the size and straightness Of those
n the low country, and in their proper range,
where they rise 60 or 70 feet in straight stems,
before reaching any branches, and are fifteen
inches to two feet or more in diameter at the
base. These are 40 or so feet high and Is to
Is inches in diameter, but they branch out
good deal few feet above the ground. Some
of various sizes are growing around the parent
trees, from mere TUT of leaves, just above the
surface Of the ground, to the height of 20 feet.
1t seems that ancestor of the present pro-
prietor, Mr. JetoD, long time since brought
some young shoots and set them out here
his house, and they grew and have propagated
by the seed or mast falling on the ground. And
we are told that they would have Increased
much more, but that many of the young shoots
have been taken away for transplantlng and tor
curiosity.
The cones seven or eight inches long, and
three or four in diameter, contrast finely with
some of the common species around, which have
their cones not more than one and three-four
to two and one-fourth inches long, and about
an inch thick before opening Their leaves too,
from ten to fourteen inches longs growing in
threes in each sheath, and forming tufts on the
end of the twgs and limbs more than two feet
10 diameter, also contrast with the pinus variabis,
whose leaves not exceeding three inches,
and are attached to the stems by twos and threes,
sometimes one predomnating and sometimes the
other. Or with the Pinus Inops, whose leaves
regularly are one and half to two inches long
and always grow by twos and are shorter than
any other kind. The leaves of the white pine
(Strobus) are also sometimes short, and grow in
fves. E. F. r.

IMPORTANT TO MANUFACTURERS or YARN.
The following decision of the internal Ress-
pue Department will prove of interest:

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is, 1866.
Sir: In reply to your letter Of the 18th inst,
have to say that under the act of July l3,
1866, "yarns and warp for weaving, braiding,
or manufacturing purposes exclusively" are ex.
empt. This provision virtually exempts all
yarns, as the term manufacturing purposes" 10
very broad, and may cover all uses to which
yarns are generally put The quantity of yarn
used for other than manufacturing purposes, il
any, would be so small, and so difficult to get al
as to be hardly worth taxing.

INVESTIGATION OF The CorroN FRAuDs-Pdr-
ties High en- Authority Impiicot.d.-The Re-
trenchment Committee, which is now holding ito
session in this city, has been busily engaged to-
day investigating the cotton frauds. The investi-
cation has the effect duplicating parties occupy
ing high and influential positions under the Gov
ernment with these frauds. The committee has
made some astonishing developments in this re-
gard. A great deal of fraud has been practiced
upon the Government and citizens of the South
BY the cotton agents. It appears that these agents
were in the habit Of confscating large quantities
of cotton in toe name of the Government, and at
ter it had remained in their hands for short tms
they would turn it over to an outside party, who
sold j. and divided the proceeds with the agents.
Another game which was resorted TO extensively
by these men was to release the cotton upon the
payment of handsome bonus Large numbers
of witnesses have been called here from different
sections Of the country to testify in relation -
thcss frauds.-b J. Herald.
