The western zone of North Carolina en-
braces the mountain region from the east
ern foot of the Blue Ridge to the Tennessee
line. It consists of a succession of high
ridges and valleys, some of the former run
ming into peaks six thousand feet above the
sea level and one of them, the Black
Mountain, rising to the height OF nearly
seven thousand feet, or higher than any
point on the continent east of the Rocky
Mountains The average level of the val
legs and lower plains in this region is quite
two thousand feet above the sea. APP
preaching the mountains from the east, the
ascent is very abrupt and one-haf of the
ascent, measured from the ocean to the top
of the Blue Ridge, is encountered in the
last six miles, On the west, the descent is
very gentle and railroad from the west
could be carried to the SUBMITS of the gaps
without the necessity Of trnnelling Almost
every foot of ground IL the mountain re-
gion can be made useful to man, for pur-
destined doubtless, to be peopled, in the
course of time, to the very tops of the high
est peaks. Everywhere the soil is good,
and the climate delightful.
A common figure of speech, framed origi-
nally, perhaps, with reference to attitudes,
is calculated to impress the unrefecting
with very erroneous ideas in regard to the
South. We allude to the phrases, ''down
South, ''down in Virginia, or the Carroll
mas" The facts stated above will show at
at once the absurdity of such expressions,
when taken literally. The denizen of Bos-
ton or Now York who complacently talks
of going down to North Carolina is in re-
atty as absurd as if he should say down to
the Catskill, or down to the White noun
tains. The mountains of North Carolina
are the highest east of the Rocky range
which divides the Mississippi valley from
the Pacific slope =; and the average level of
the State, for the same reason, is higher
than that of any State east of the Missis-
sippi river. This fact has much to do in
ttempering the climate. and should ever be
kept prominently in view by the friends of
the State.

THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL
The Legisla ture.

The Columbia Ph0mi.c copies our remarks
in regard to the August Session of the
Legislature under the heading of an EXTRA
SESSION OF A LEGISLATURE, with surprise,
s'as it was not supposed any session of a
Legislature would be permitted to De held
in the military districts, until after registra-
ton and subsequent elections" The Ses-
sion referred to is not an extra one, but
merely the continuation of the last, which
adjourned to meet in August, and we can
see no more reason why It should be inter
fered with than the meetings of the Com
mon Council of the city of Columbia, or
the sessions of the Courts of North or
South Carolina. In either case the mem
bers were elected before the passage of tho
Military bills, and in each they form part
and parcel of the Provisional Governments
permitted to these States.
In fact, there exists strong and peculiar
reasons why our Legislature should meet
at the designated time, as the orders of
General SGcKLEs changing the criminal
code of the State makes imperative the
necessity Of building Penitentiary at once.
The same power which makes it incumbent
upon the State to provide for the vast
number of convicts who now crowd the
county iails III expensive idleness and with
out sufficient security, would hardly be
acting Justly to deny her the only means
by which the proper measures can be adopt
ed to provide for their safe keeping and
hard labor
That the PtomLe did not suppose Legis-
larture would he permitted TO be held in
the military districts, does not affect the
question, as the fact is that in Virginia
hco, we think, certainly one, session of the
Legislature has been held since Gen. Soho
field assumed command Of that district
under the Military act. We cannot see
that meeting Of the Legislature to take
into consideration grave and important
State interests, some of which are made
pressing by reason of the orders of our
commander, will in any way interfere with
the progress of reconstruction but we do
see how q reassemblage of that body at this
time can and will DO much to further this
object. We take it for granted that the
Legislature will meet according to its al
iOufnment.

North Coro1lna Radical Politicians.

Political matters among the North Care
Poor Holden, who has "sounded all the
depths and shoals of politics, is about to
be shamlessly discarded by his g last love. "
The Republicans of this city openly repu-
diate him, the Greensboro Register, the
organ Of Loyal Leagues and Red Strings
for the State, will have nothing to do with
him, and even paper under the editorial
control of United States Marshal, d. r.
Goodloe, is to be established in Raleigh
and divide with the Standard, in its own
baiIiwick, the honors, if not the profits, of
Radicalis,n. As to the latter, thanks to
the partiality of Mr.. Mcpherson, the Clerk
of the House Of Representatives, upwards
Of five columns, solidly done up and Tabled
"OFFIIAn," menacingly defy the rival OPP
position of all competitors who may wish
to revel amidst the patriotic shadows of
Federal patronage
In the meantime, Governor Holden,
General Dockery, Colonel Carter, Captain
Settle, Mr.. Dick and one C. r. Thomas,
who tioundered through four years of war,
giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the
United States, or actively engaging there
in, are endeavoring to make people think
they were in fun-their conduct being a
L" big joke" all the time. Holden says that
so far as he and Thomas are concerned,
their oaths to support the Constitu.
ton of the Confederate States and thei,
votes to provide ways and means to carry

The Dimensions of our New Territory.

In a brief notice Of Mr.. Summers speech
upon the Russian purchase, yesterday, the
area Of the new acquisition Was stated at
five hundred and seventy thousand square
miles, with a shore line of four thousand
miles. If the islands and bays are taken
into the estimate, the coast line is between
eleven and twelve thousand miles long
That is, our Pacific coast is now much more
than twice us long as it WAS before the pur-
chase.
With regard to area, 4 few comparisons
may give us clearer ideas of our bargain
Russian America IS siXty-fve and a half
times as large as Massachusetts, between
eight and nine times as large as all New
England; twelve times as large as New York
nine times as large us Virginia twice as
lalge as Texas twice as large as the French
empire, or between SIX and seven times as
large as the island of Great Britain. It is
considerably larger than all the New Eng
land States, New York, Pennsylvania, Del
aware, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia,
North and South Corolina, Florida, Ala
bama and Mississippi together.
OF the islands on the coast, Admiralty is
very nearly the size Of Long Island. st.
Lawrence, Nunivack and Oonimak are q lit
tie smaller, and Kodiak is larger by four
teen hundred and fifty square miles. There
are several sounds, straits and bays which
have from twenty to twenty-five times the eX-
tent OF Long Island Sound. The river You
con IS believed, on pretty good grounds, to
be five times as long as our Hudson, and as
1t has been explored is very nearly as wide
as the Mississippi. The peninsula of Alas
ka is about one-third as large as Florida.

DIR. II. x. Speed.

We are glad to learn that this distinguish
ed gentleman, State Senator from Pasquo-
tank and Perquimans, and a most able and
eloquent orator, is making speeches in his
District upon political matters. We are
satisfied that his efforts will do much good
for the cause Of Conservatism in that Sec
ton.
This example is i'll favorable contrast
with the Gallons indifference and moody
silence of the other public men of our State.
DIR. SPEED is DISTINGUISHED under the terms
of the Reconstruction Acts OF Congress,
yet throwing aside personal considerations,
he is doing all he can to save his State from
threatening dangers. If our leading pub
lie men would give themselves to this work,
there would be no uncertainty regarding
the fate of North Carolina. We cannot
and will not believe that SeltishnesS con
trolls their action-bein@ disfranchised and
debarred the privilege Of holding Office
that they are willing to sit quietly down
and see North Carolina pass into the hands
of her worst enemies.
1t IS the solemn duty Of such gentlemen
in the State whom the people have long
honored and whose opinions now have
great weight with them, to throw aside the
present reserve and silence, and give the
voters of the State the benefit of their ex-
perience and wisdom. The very fact that
they are not seeking office, and are not al
lowed even to vote, will have its proper in
huence If such men will como before our
people, and now, when their advice and
ability is more needed than ever, the effect
will be wonderful III arousing them TO the
performance of their duty. Let the old
time leaders, the men who all North Caro-
inians respect and honor, speak out, and
their advice will be needed.
DR.. SPEED deserves the thanks of the
whole State in thus setting an example
which others will doubtless soon follow
North Carolina must be saved from the mis-
cradle demagouges and dishonest tricksters
now aspiring to seize her, and in no way
will this desirable end be more safely in
sured, than by determined effort upon
the part of her distinguished ana eloquent
sons, whose names are tower of strength,
and whose influence will unite all classes of
our honest citizens in a common effort in
behalf of the Old North State
