Resources of Western North Carolina 1t
was stated by our correspondent from Ash
vile, whose interesting letter appeared in the
Sentinea few days since, that Prof Kerr, the
State Geologist, is at present engaged in ma
king tour of exploration through the noun
tain Counties. We are pleased to learn this fact
1t so happened that, owing to circumstances
and the pressure of what were regarded as
more imperative duties, the former State Geo
logist, DIR. Emmons, had it in his power to
devote but comparatively little time to the ex-
treme Western section of the State.-Know-
ing the magnificent natural resources of that re-
gon and having full confidence in the attain
ments of Prof. Kerr, we look forward for an
intelligent and striking report of his opera
tions
The mineral wealth, agricultural fertility
manufacturing capabilities, adaptation to
sheep-husbandry, and general facilities for
stock-raisng, OF the Western Counties of
North Carolina, need only to be properly pre-
sented to the world, under the authentic
sanction of a scientific report, to induce to
that part of the State the immigration of
capital and of skilled and intelligent labor.
Such acoessions would secure the compile
ton of the Western extension, and the con-
struction of the other important schemes of
internal improvements, far more speedily than,
in our present impoverished condition or with
the prospects before us, are can hope to accom-
plsh of ourselves.
Under a restored, Constitutional Union,
with the National troubles thereby quieted
and composed, we shall yet see Western North
Carolina the centre of trade, an enterprise
and prosperity that will command the at
ten,ion of the world. And with its magnifi-
cent scenery, its liie-giving fountains and
breezes, it will become the resort of the tour
list, and of thousands in search of pleasure
and of health. Sentinel

after most extensive use in all branches Of

SPECIAL NOTICES,


The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovEsrEEs
& Co., are deemed by all good judges to be the
Ultima Thule of instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make
a musical instrument more perfect, although
we are slow to admit that the limit of i'm
provement can ever be attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to
their present excellence they had submitted
them to competition with instruments of the
best makers of this country and Europe, and
received the reward of merit, over all others.
at the celebrated Worlds Fair. 1t is but ius.
tice to say that the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied
by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a
more perfect instrument has been made
They have accordingly achieved the paradox
of making excellence more excellent. Sure
ly, after :his, they are entitled to the motto
Excelsior" may29.

This invention combines with the ordinary
cotton Skirt the advantages of our SILVER
skirt; the bottom hoops are the same as those
used in the Silver Skirt the covering of which
cannot wear off, while the upper ones are
covered with cotton. No lady, having once
worn one of our Skirts, will be willing to wear
any other, as the lower hoops of all other
kinds are soon injured and soiled.
The best materials are used in their con-
