North Mountain Vfneyar,Is.

We are pleased to learn that company
has been formed for the creation of LARGE
vineyard, near Mt. Clinton, in this county.
The company, consisting of Messrs Col
John 81. Hopkins, DIR. VIM. D. Hopkins,
A. s. Byrd, Esq, and Francis Stating,
having already purchased 70 acres, which
will be increased to 300 acres. They have
ordered $4,000 grape slips of the best
varieties with which to make commence
ment.
These gentlemen also intend to engage
extensively in the culture of the best Vari-
cites of fruits, such as peaches, apples,
pears, aprlcotS, ETC., etc, the peach claim
ing especial attention.
Messrs. Firebaugh & Co., at Mt. Clinton,
will also plant 10 acres this Fall in another
vineyard of 70 acres.
The gentlemen connected with this
movement are all energetic, go-ahead men.
and they will know no such word as fail.
The land in the Moth Mountain region
is peculiarly adapted to the growth of the
grape and fruits of all kinds. 1t is already
one of the best portions of our great county.
When these vineyards begin to yield their
rich and ripening fruits, it will be a land
literally flowing with wine and milk and
honey.-Rockingham Register.

In New York the SIN says every branch of
mechanical labor is overstocked, and that
the numerous mechanics flocking into the
city from the country in search of work,
had better remain in the rural districts,
where the dull season can be bridged over
at less expense than in New York.
The New York canals will. it is said. soon
be closed. The Albany Aryus reports that
ice has formed in them, and there are
serious doubts whether the canals will be
navigable again this season. Such all I'M
usually early closing will p1 owe great de-
triment to forwarders. There are proba-
bly, between 1000, 900 and 100000 bush
els of grain afoat; there are twenty-f five
boat loads of salt between Albany and Sv-
racuse, potatoes, apples and other produce,
to large extent, besides considerable
amounts of lumber-both on the Erie and
Champlain canals-seeking tide water To
be frozen up all winter whilst in transpor-
tation, is a misfortune that shippers of
goods by canals late in the season have,
however, become accustomed to.

Gov. jenkins of Georgia

We learn from the Macon Journal and
Messenger that it has reliable information
to the effect that Gov. Jenkins has been Or
dered by General Pope to hold himself in
readiness to vacate the Gubernatorial chair
at amoment's warning. The rumor is that
James L. Seward is to be appointed as his
successor.
The Columbus (Ga.) San thinks the Ty-
coon of District No. 3 may mediate this
mischief because it is his delight to malign
and mortify the people of Georgia, but it
has some doubts about il for the reason
that it has positive knowledge that his own
official head hangs by very slender hair
The SIN adds
He has before him the alternatives of eating
very humble pie or OF taking again to that saddle
IN which ne won SO many splendid victories ION
paper.) Ii he accepts the first, Gov Jenkins will
not be dlsturbed, if the latter his removal will be
the last Parthian arrow cast by Pope at a people
whose unbounded contempt he has fairly won and
worthily wears.

The Conservative Convention

1t will be seen by a telegram from Val
eigh, that meeting of gentlemen from
different portions of the State have recon-
mended postponement of the Conserya-
! tive Convention. which was to have assem-
| bled in that city on the 18th December,
and that State Executive committee was
organized
We heartily approve these movements,
and feel that they will be attended
with benefit to the interests of the party in
North Carolina, The time for holding the
Convention was not propitious Many
counties have not and would not have ap-
pointed delegates, and many did not feel
the Importance of the meeting.
After the adjournment of the Corstitu-
tional Convention and before the vote upon
the ratification of its work, there will be
sufficient time for the organization of the
Conservative party. The disposition and
acts of the Radicals, both in North Carolina
and at Washington in regard to reconstruct
ton, will be more fully developed, and the
organization of the Conservative Demo-
cratic party of the North will have been
fully completed for the Presidential can
vass, and conseq uently our people will be-
come more interested in political matters,
and will eagerly aid all efforts for their eman-
,ipation from the political thraldom which
1ow enslaves them.
We hope the Executive Committee is |
composed not only of prominent gentlemen,
'ut dctire men, who will be fully alive to
he great interests at stake.
In view of the postponement of the State
we think it will be we'll to
postpone the meeting in this county until
he week of the next County Court. We
ropose, therefore, that the citizens of New
hanover assemble il this city to appoint
elegates to the Convention during the week
4 which is held the December term of the
county Court.
