Walker River Items,

A friend just in from Gsrrard's cop
per smelling works on Walker River
gives US the following items:
These smelling works are on the east
bank of the river, about half way be-
tween Fort Churchill and Pine Grove,
or rs miles from either place, and about
so miles from here. These works
started into practical operation on the
9Th Of July last, and are q perfect sue
cess, smelling at the rate of seven or
eight tons Of ore per day. 1t yields 20
per cent. Of copper with about Sc Of
silver to the ton. The mine is distant
about six miles, on the west side Of the
river, some three miles below the forks.
1t has been worked to the depth of 100
feet, aud the ledge averages six feet in
width, being about the same degree Of
richness throughout.
Some three months ago we made al
item about a load Of clay from the east
wall of the Comstock in the Chollar
mine being taken out to this furnace in
order to test its qualities as q lining to
the furnace, it being q very difficult
matter to obtain any sort of material
which will stand the intense heat. This
clay, however, seems to answer all pur-
poses, and there certainly is plenty Of
it, quite an important point to those
running smelling works or galena and
other ores in other parts of the State.
The main valley along the river is
known as Mason's Valley, and in it is
comprised n large extent Of good farm
ing land. There are some 40 different
ranches, and this year about 2 1000 acres
were sown with grain, principally bar
ley, yielding about 25 bushels to the
acre on the average. The hay crop also
was very good, and 500 or 900 tons
were cut, Independent Of what was left
for pasture. There is quite a commu-
nifty Of settlers in the valley, comprising
many families. They are really in need
OF q postofice at that point, the nearest
one being IS miles distant.

CH "A r T. E S ON
SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 81, 1869,
Charleston and the or tn Carolfne Rail-
roads.

The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad
Company held their annual meeting in
November last, and we have before us O.
copy of the proceedings. The road seems
to have done we'll the past year, although
suffering from the decrease in passenger
transportation-eommon, we believe, to all
The Southern roads during the past year.
The Superintendent speaks in sanguine
terms of the prospects this year, in freights,
more particularly farm products, the trade
in which is largely on the increase. We
find, however, the following complaint,
which, we must confess, surprises US:
But for the want of harmonious co-opera-
tion on tho part Of the management OF the
South Carolina Railroad Company, and conse-
quent imperfect conn cotton with Columbia. 8.
G., and Augusta, Ca, by which we could reach
those cities and places beyond as far west as
the Alabama River, our receipts this year would
have been very considerably larger than they
are now.''
Is it possible that the management of this
road can expect the South Carolina Rail
road Company to open it's tracks to Augusta
in order to build up Wilmington and Ports
mouth {? Could any proposition be more
ridiculous, coming as it does from North
Carolina road, whose charter especially
provides that the gauge of the tracks shall
be four inches narrower than the railroad
tracks in South Carolina, with view to
hindering South Carolina roads from draw
ing produce from North Carolina? Sup
pose the New York steamship line should
report TO it's stockholders that but for sthe
"want of harmonious cooperation on the
'part of the New York and Sauann ah steam
GERS, their receipts this year would have
"been considerably larger than they are"
Sc, what would be the reply of the savan-
nah Steamship Company
The fact is that the people Of this State
have allowed a condition of things to exist
for three years past, which has wrought
untold injury to the business of our CITY
and State. So supine have we been that
our North Carolina neighbors seem to have
been directly encouraged in their policy of
commercial aggression. By means of the
Charlotte Road, they have cut off 10000
bales of our cotton receipts; by the VIII.
f'ington and Nanca@ @stsr Rood 10000 or Is 1000
}hore; and now the Weldon Road is wrotLr
because our main line of road does not help
them to still further cripple the business
interests of South Carolina by giving them
the free use Of 1877 miles of railroad across
the State to Augusta.
We are satisfied that the South Carolina
Road is too deeply interested in sustaining
its home business, to listen with favor to
schemes which have for their sole object
the aggrandizement Of cities and railroads
in another State, to the aetrinasat Of Charles
ton. 1t is high time that our people should
realize the extent and power Of the combi-
nations against their city, and prepare in
earnest to thwart them.

Contrary to the law Of political economy
that every industry must seek those chan
nels in which are to be found the most
favorable opportunities for profit, the North
and West have, hitherto, almost monopo-
lized the stock breeding of the country
The climatic and natural advantages of
the North can bear no comparison with
those Of the South in adaptation to this
pursuit. The rigors of a Northern winter;
the large outlay Of time and labor neces-
sary for providing shelter and forage the
brIeI pasturing season in those latitudes !;
the much larger amount Of food consumed
by stall-fed than by pastured animals, and
consequently the greater expense attending
the raising Of the former, all these are
serious drawbacks in the way of stock
raising in the North. On the other hand
the genial climate, and large unsettled
tracts Of pasture land in the South the
immense cane brakes skirting the South ern
rivers, from the Cape Fear to the Rio Grande.
and affording the finest pasturage alike for
hogs, and sheep and cattle the long con-
tinuanoe Of the spring and summer seasons
and the shortness and comparative mildness
OF the winters ;-all these circumstances
combine to afford the most unbounded facil-
tiles for the breeding Of stock Of every sort.
and to any extent. Shelter, except from
the winter rain storms, is almost unneces-
sary in the South. And so far as STALL
feeding is concerned, there cannot be found
in any country upon the globe 80 wonderful,
luxurianoe Of the necessary vegetable
supply. The very grasses which have
heretofore formed the most persistent foe
of the planter, may be utilized in this re.
spect to an almost unlimited extent Espe.
oially is this true Of the Bermuda grass.
which, if left to itself. will in an increa;b1v
short space Of time develope into the rich
est known pasturage for sheep.
There is every incentive for the South to
avail herself Of her great advantages in this
respect As is always the case where
labor is diversified, the benefits derived
from stock. raising would react upon other
branches of industry. The manure scoum-
ulated during the period Of housing the
stock would be Of the utmost value to the
planter and the transportation Of stook
would be an important element Of uroSt 4.

the cotton plant is in condition which is so pre-.
carious that no planter say that he has certain

and more healthy stand than can be had by the ap-
pncaton of any other fertilizer. l speak from ex-
periments made for two years. I have planted lit

made 600 pounds lint from one acre by planting 500
pounds OF "PATAPsoo." which made 26O pounds the
year before without it, and the season of 1867 was
better for cotton than 1868. The same field on the

leaving for home use 1Os5, I'll barrels. Add to
this the decrease in tho stock, 217,073 barrels,
and we find that the total consumption in this
country of Pennsylvania oil in 1868 was 1885,
184 barrels; the production of West Virginia
and Ohio, about 1875, 900 barrels; decrease Of
stock in the same States about 40 600 barrels.
