: I have just returned from a visit to Mt.
AIRY and should you wish, will give you a
short account of what is gong on in that
picturesque region. I found the town i'm
proving very fast, the people f1ourishing-
farmers, mechanics, merchants all doing
well. Several fine store houses have lately
heen erected, large and elegant buildings,
one with granite front, the stone, the pretti-
est of the kind ever saw, is quarried with

will some day be adorned with houses made
of this very rock, when the railroad is finish
ed to Mt. Airy There are also in the inn
mediate vicinity two new Cotton and Wool
en- mills going up. The trade that is carried
on there wonld surprise any one not aceuain-
ted with the back country. One hundred
Thousand dollars worth of dried apples, 1
learned, was sold there last year. One firm
happen to know sold for cash and barter
100000 worth of goods last year Week
before last 100 mules were sold in the town
and $57 900 worth was sold since October
last A furniture maker, Mr.. Aired, las
made, by hard labor, money enough to buy
him a sixteen hundred dollar iarm and has
$500 worth of furniture on hand He makes
nice furniture and will, perhaps, become
rich one day Honor To the industrious
and honest mechanic. He creates home
market for the farmers products. ard when
the farmer flourishes in his business all class
cs do well.
Let the manufacturers of everything we
need come from the North and show us how
to work Let them be encouraged. Let
tile laborious and thrifty farmers come down
too, and buy our surplus lands and set an
example of honest and thrifty labor. Let
the large land holders sell off some Of their
idle lands and not wait for somehody else
to build rail roads through them and i'm
prove their fortunes gratis. This is the
curse of the South. Too few mechanics and
too much land. There is a great deal of
good land around Mt. Airy some of it being
graLitc formation and sandy is said to he
well suited for the cultivation of The grape.
Tie region North of the town toward the
Blue Ridge is well known to be unsurpassed
for the growth Of the apple. Everybody
has heard of the beautiful mountain views.
The Siamese Twins having peregrinated near
iy the whole of the civilized world chose
this as the most pleasant place to live IN
they could find. When the Norfolk and
Great Western Railroad meets the road from
your town at or near this place we may ex-
pect to see this the most hourishing and
interesting portion of the State Seekers of
health and seekers of manufacturing sites
! will throng this favored region and many a
busy hive of industry will spring up on the
banks of our never failing streams and, in
all seriousness. We expect to see Mt, Airy

Homestead Exemntinn.

1t will be seen by a reference to our report
of the House proceedings in to-day's issue,
that the Supreme Court has decided that it
is not encumbent upon them to give their
opinion to the Legislature upon Constitu-
tional questions, except through the decision
of cases regularly brought before them.
This is important, because it will oblige the
Legislature to proceed upon their own in
depreciation of the homestead exemption,
or to wait until a case in point is decided by
the Supreme Court, which we hope will be
at no distant day, as we receive letters
daily from different parts of the State, ask

1t is worth calculating what the situation
of North Carolina would have been with
out such an executive as Governor Holden.
Immcasurably assaled by his enemies, it is
beyond controversy that North Carolina is
the best reconstructed State in the South
How much more healthful would Virginia
beif she had been MS sternly rescued from
the rebellion Chosen at the last election
for four years, Gov. Holden has ample time
to devote himselft to the substantial redemp-s
tion OF his State. The economy in his adj
mlnlstration his wise encouragement of
new railroad projects; his fearless guardian
ship over the ctlored people, are indications
that Will invite an irresistible tide of immi-
grafton. He employs his great powers with
eminent discretion, convinced that some of
the old rebel leaders would again abuse the
confidence of the Government. He seeks
occasions to recommend worthy men vino
served in the rebel army to the generosity of
Congress, and was pleased to hear among
these frequent expressions of confidence in
his integrity and ability. tr H
Does anybody suppose that the intelli+
gent and patriotic farmers of the North
would go to North Carolina if the Execu-
tive were not such man us Holden? The
answer is found in the presence of numbers
of these citizens at Raleigh daily seeking
and following his counsel. Thirty five thou
sand white men voted for Grant last Novem-
ber in North Carolina, and i do not doubt
that If the election could be re-held to. NOR
row, those thirty five thousand would he
