81. N"-The immortal Philosopher and
Orator will 'lift the veil and assume the
PRESSURE in front of the Court House, to-
day. at 1 o'clock. J. n. is the most re-
nowned man of the age, and he proposes to
demonstrate that both parties to the late
sanguinary struggle were right, from their
respective stand-points, and that both We're
actually wrong-an apparently logical IN
consistency, which he demonstrates as a
grand truth.
He assumes all the responsibility on him
self, like an Independent and heroic Think
er, as all the world agrees he is.
He cliffs at Graham on Friday.

The CRoPs.-We are reliably informed
by gentleman who has travelled through
South Carolina from Charlotte to Green
vile, that the crops between Charlotte and
Columbia are not so very good. Between
Columbia and Greenville the crops are very
fine. Between Greenville and this place
the crops are excellent. The crops in this
portion of the State are very good, and will
produce, we think, more than an average
yield. d.-Rutherford Star.

MLLs.-This we'll known manufacturing
establishment at Charlotte, n. c.. is now
in full operation. The mills have been en-
larged, and the machinery has been adapted |
to the production of the best styles Of all
ocO0L casSineres which are made in America. |
This adaptation of machinery is an i'm |
p1ovement additional to the facilities here
tofore possessed Of producing the entire |
line of goods manufactured before the war. |
These mills were put in operation eighteen |
years ago, and at that and subsequent pc
riods, the proprietors still guarantee that |
their fabrics shall be adapted to the mar
kets for which they may be manufactured,
shall always come up to the standard of
quality which they profess to occupy, and
shall give satisfaction to the merchant and |
&C nsumer.
The capacity OF these mills enables the
to manufacture a million of |
yards of the WOODEN cassimeres, if ordered,
specimens of which, thirty in number, have
been forwarded to us, and similar ones will
be sent to any of our dry goods merchants
who may order them. Those which have
been forwarded to the Journal may be eX-
amined at any time by those who may de-
sire to do so.
According to our taste, these goods.
Judging from the specimens before us, are
of an excellent quality, and the style of
them unexceptionable and such as we think
will suit the popular taste. The varieties
Of grey, brown, and striped or fancy figures,
Ire very attractive, and the material is soft
md elastic, some of thick and others of
| less heavy texture.
The Old North State should be proud of
such an establishment These mills reflect
credit upon the enterprise of her people
which should meet with the most enlarged !
not only throughout her I
,orders, but in the South. It seems to us
hat the distribution, far and wide, of such +
pecimens of domestic Southern manufac-
ure as are now before US, can only result
n securing that Southern patronage 9
Vnlcn every cOnSlderatlOn pleads should
,e literally extended towards such enter ,
'rises in their efforts to build up home
market.
Besides their influence in retaining
money at home, which would be attract
d abroad, for investment in such ma '
erial as we need to clothe our popula- 1
ion, these factories present a field of '
abor adapted to the manipulation of
women and children, who are de- 1
'arred from entering into pursuits already a
occupied by more stalwart laborers, and a
or which the delicacy of women and ten f
erness of children unfit them. Factories q
Ike the mills at Charlotte, dotted here and K
here through the South, would prove a
.reat blessing by thus supplying the home n
emand and affording employment to the a
weaker and more dependent class to which t
re have referred. E
We rejoice to have it in our power to ex-
end the reputation of the Rock Island T
Voolen Mills of Charlotte, as far as our n
ntiuence may extend, and commend this u
torth Carolina factory to the encourage c
aent and patronage of our Virginia and t
