The western zone of North Carolina em-
braces the mountain region from the eastern
foot Of the Blue Ridge to the Tennessee line;
1t consists of succession OF hlgh ndges anu
valleys, some Of the former running INTO
peaks six thousand feet above the sea level;
and one of them, the Black Mountain, rising
to the height of nearly seven Thousand 1eet,
or higher than any point on the continene
east of the Rocky mountains. Inc average
level of the valleys and lower plains In this
region is quite two thousand feet above the
sea- Approaching the mountains from tne
east, the ascent is very abrupt; and one-haif
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 tunnelfng. Almost
every foot of ground in the mountain region
can be made useful to man, for purposes OF
cultivation or grazing; and 1t is destined,
doubtless, to be peopled, in the course OF
time, to the very tops of the highest 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"
adown in Virginia, or the Carolinas." The
facts stated above will show at once the abb
surdity of such expressions, when taken lit
orally. The denizen of Boston or New York
who complacently talks of going down to
North Carolina is in reality as absurd as II
he should say down to the Catskill, or down
to the White mountains. The mountains OF
North Carolina are the highest east of the
Rocky range which divides the Mississippi
valley from the Pacific slope; and the aver
age level of the State, for the same reason, Is
higher than that of any State east OF the
Mississippi river. This fact has much to do
in tempering the climate, and should ever be
kept prominently in view by the friends OF
the State.

of May,
On motion of s. A. Wilson, Rev. VIM. M.
Hayes was called to the Chair, and F. s.

planned, after which. G. P. Rourke, of VIII

dience by the Rev. VIM. M. Hayes, of Wake.
Mr.. Rourke then addressed the people on

On motion of A. B. Williams, vote of

"ACROSS THE CoNTINEST,,...A RACE.

We are indebted to the Cincinnati
Commercial for the following interest
ing facts about the rival railway lines
now building in the direction of the
Mississippi:
That America is fast country has
been somewhat frequently asserted, and
we have done not little in the produc-
tion of fast men, fast horses, fast yachts
and rapidly growing cities and States,
to maintain and justify the claim. Per-
haps, however, the fastest thing on re-
cord, in this or any other land or age,
is the race in laying rail-tracks across
the continent now being run by the RI
val Pacific Railroad Companies. The
Omaha line reached its 322d mile post
last Saturday evening and, on the 9th,
the Kansas line, somewhat later in get
ting under full Roadway, laid its 197th
mile Of rails. The Omaha line has com
pleted two and half miles day since
the commencement of work this spring.
and the contractor, General Easement,
says: eve are going little slow at
first, to get the new hands into their
places. Well show you three miles
and a half day before long, and we
mean to lay five miles in one day before
the summer is over.n The contractors
on the Kansas route, on the 9th instant,
laid over two miles of track, and are
pledged to finish $50 miles west of Fort
Riley by the first of December. This
will take the road to within 200 miles
of Denver, and at that point the line
DIVORCES southwark, to Santa Fe, and
thence to the Pacific. All goes mer-
rilly, and it must be admitted the Pa
cific Railroad is becoming something
more than dream. Thrnsting rail-
road hundreds of miles into a vast un-
cultivated region, over which savage
tribes are still roaming, and trusting to
the expansion of the country to the fol-
low up the enterprise with the farms,
mills and towns, is peculiar pioneer
ing. The, usual way has been for the
country to require the roads. Here the
roads are expected to drag the country
after them. They will go along grandly
for a time, no doubt. Government is
generous. The star of empire has not
changed its course. The tide of emf
grafton is, as always, westward. Our
Pacific States are growing with i'm
mense vital force, and are already COM
municating with the Asian shores of
the Pacific by lines of steamers. The
telegraph wires span the continent.
making way for the greater iron high.
ways. The great difficulties in the CON
struction of the Pacific roads are. how
ever, to be apprehended. It is easy to-
lay miles of rails over the level prairie,
and the fat lands on either side will
pay for the work. But when the racers
run into the Rocky Mountains, we an
ticipate serious and protracted reduc-
ton of the rate Of progress, though we
trust the race itself will not then ter.

The meeting was addressed by Col. Q. 1.
Harris and J. w. Holden, Esq, OF Raleigh.
The Chairman appointed the following
gentlemen as committee to report resolu-
lions for the meeting: VIM. Utley, VIM. Bal
lentine and Wash. Banks
The committee reported the following pre-
amble and resolutions which were unanl-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Congress of the United
States has passed bills for the better govern
ment of the late rebel States !; and whereas,
it is the duty of every loyal citizen to render
cheerful obedience thereto; therefore, be 1t
Rssogped, That we accept heartily and
cheerfuliy the terms prescribed by Congress-
and pledge ourselves to make an honest ell
fort towards their adoption.
Rssolped, That traitors should be made to
take back seats, and loyal men receive that
respect and consideration which is due to
them as such, and them alone.
ResoZped, That we cordially endorse the
platform of principles of the Republican
party, adopted in Convention, March 9th,
which are Union, Liberty and political and
civil Equality for all men. :.
| Rsso1oed, That in this hour of the nations
trial, we feel that in returning to the funda-
mental principles of Republican government,
that ouf-feet are again established upon the
rock of everlasting truth.
Resoloed, That our colored fellow citizens,
having been invested with all the rights OF
freemen, should be so regarded by all loyal
men, and SO upheld and protected by the
government and its friends in every locality,
that the exercise of their new privileges
may prove blessing to their race and an
element of strength to the cause of Union
Liberty and Equality, which is their cause
as well as ours.
Resolced, That we appeal to Congress to
abolish the existing rebel Provisional gov.
eminent, believing that it is burden to the
people, a check to the growth of sound
public sentiment without corresponding
benefit.
1 ResoEged. That we reiterate our attach
ment to the cause of Liberty and to the Re
publican party, and in SO doing feel that We
express sentiments that find an answer II
| the heart of every patriot and lover Of fret
institutions, because that party is the enemy
1 OF traitors and treason, monarchical govern
ment and aristocratical institutions, and de
tends and maintains the rights of the nation

oppressed of all the lands of earth.
