DAVIDSON COUNTY.

About the year 1888, the county of
Davidson embraced considerably more terri
tory than at present, as will be seen by the
following extract copied from the claws of
Tennessee" as printed at that time:
Whereas. A considerable number of
our inhabitants have settled on the
Cumberland river in this State at a very
great distance from where the county
courts are held, and it is represented that
the erecting of a county TO enclose the said
inhabitants, and appointing courts to be
held among them, would be very beneficial
and advantageous; therefore, for the gen.
eral good of said inhabitants, be it enacted
by the General Assembly of the State of
North Carolina, and it is hereby enacted
by the authority of the same, that all that
part Of this State lying west of the Cum
berlald mountains and south of the Viz
ginia line, beginning on the top of the
Cumberland mountains where the Virginia
line crosses, extending westward along
SAID line to the Tennessee river; thence up
said river to the mouth of Duck river, to
where the line of marked trees, run by
the commissioners for laying off land
granted the Continental line of this State,
interesting said river (Which said line is
supposed to be in thirty-ive degrees fifty
minutes north latitude), thence east
along said line to the top of Cumber-
land mountains, thence northwardly along
said mountain to the beginning shall, after
the passing of this act, be apdis hereby de-
clared to be distinct county by the name
of Davidson.
Be it further enacted by the authority
aforesaid, That the County Court of Da-
wilson shall appoint an entrytaker for the
purpose of receiving entries of lands from
those who are allowed pre- exemptions by the
law for laying off lands granted to the con-
tinental line of this State, and as it has
been suggested that the inhabitants of said
county have no specie certificates they shall
be at the liberty to pay at the rate of ten
pounds specie or specie certificates Per
hundred acres for the aforesaid pre-emp-
tons; all shall be allowed the term of eigh-
teen months to pay the same, and that the
heirs of such persons as have died, having
rights of Prescriptions as aforesaid, shall
be allowed the term of one year after COM
ing of lawful age, to secure their pre- emp
tons, provided that no grants shall be
made for said lands until the purchase mon
ey shall be paid into the proper oRice.

Cotton Factories,

Speaking of cotton factories, that live and
busy paper, the Brownsville Bee, makes
the following pertinent and sensible sug-
gestions TO the people of Haywood county.
Upon the subject of cotton factories it
says: The progressive age in which we
live demands much of US, but with well di-
rected energy we can make ourselves equal
to the demands. We have not the surplus
cash here to build up factories, and put
them in operation, but that is not at all ne
cessary. The planters of Haywood county
can build factories and set them going with
all ease, if they will. Gentlemen, it is for
you to choose. For instance, $50, 900 is
wanted to build and fit out a cotton factory
in Brownsville. Five hundred bales Of
cotton will do it. Not five hundred
bales of cotton to be wasted
or squandered in an idle experiment, but a
bona fde investment, that will outpsy all
the cotton making you ever did in your
lives. Then let books be opened and sub
scriptons made in cotton, to be paid out of
crops you are now preparing to plant.
The security is as good as any one will ask
for. All necessary funds can be raised
upon 1t, and the work set on foot and push
ed successfully through as speedily as you
desire. You will then make the cotton
with all the profits Of producing, manu-
facture your own productions, and pocket
the manufacturer profits, too. Whatever
per cent the investment pays, whether ten
or forty, it is that much added to the far
mer's profits" We recommend this matter
TO the earnest consideration of every little
town around rs. We also recommend it
to the consideration of capitalists and
property-owners in Nashville. If this is
ever TO be great city, it can be made SO
only by factories. Wood, water, coal, and
raw material generally we have in album
dance. Let US increase commerce by
starting factories.

Prospects OF Sugar Culture.
From tba Nav OrTaans rU,r,o,


In our issue of the 26th ult. we men,
toned that the work of planting was about
over, and that having an ample supply of
well preserved seed cane, the planters had
extended the area of cultivation fully fif-
teen per cent beyond what it was last sea-
son. Since then we have had opportuni-
ties of conversing with Mr.. L. Bouchereau.
the capable and Industrious compiler of the
admirably gotten up pamphlet statement of
the Louisiana sugar crop of last year, who
has just returned from an extended tour
through the sugar growing districts of the
State, his purpose in visiting all sections
being to obtain accurate information from
the planters themselves, not only 81 the
actual product of each during the past sea-
son, but on all subjects in any way con-
nected with the culture of sugar within the
limits of the State Mr.. Bouchereau fully
confirms what we said in respect to the
energy with which the planters are pushing
forward their field work, and the generally
favorable prospects, with a reasonable good
growing season for the future, of an increas-
ing yield; and he thinks our estimate of
fifteen per cent, as the increase in the area
placed under cultivation, may be too small,
and that we would have been nearer to the
mark perhaps if we had said twenty per
cent. The want of an adequate supply of
laborers continues to be great drawback,
for while some planters are pretty well off
as to help, there are great many who will
be unable to properly cultivate the ground
which they have planted, and who will, of
course, be still worse off when it comes to
taking off the crop. In some parishes
laborers have been obtained from the more
northern OF the Southern States, but this
supply has been in a measure counter
balanced by the migration of old and ex-
perlenced tillers of sugar fields to the ad-
Joining cotton districts, where the system
OF working on shares is more in vogue, and
which, ON account of the greater facilities
afforded in making division in kind, is in
much favor.

Arrest of Escaped Prisoners.

On the 18th inst. two colored men named
John McCrawley and Glen SUarns, the first
charged with larceny and the latter charged
with disorderly conduct, made their escape
from the Workhouse. Having received in
formation that the escaped prisoners were
in the neighborhood of Brentwood, Capt.
r. b. Sloan and Mr. Vaughn went out to
that place last Sunday, for the purpose of
persuading the escaped pair back in the
city. Near Brentwood, they discovered
traces of the wandering minstrels, and
soon thereafter ''treed' McCrawley, who
took leg bail in vain attempt to get out of
the way. He was captured after a short
run, as was also his companion, Starns,
gho had come out from his hiding place to
see what thu. matter was. The captured
prisoners were brought back to the city to
serve out their terms of imprisonment.
They are under ''binding" pledge to make
no second attempt at escape.

MANCHESTER, April II, 167O-Easter Sun
day.-We have had terrible conflict here
for the last thirty hours or more, sRetween
the North and South The North has
been decidedly victorious, and is likely to
hold her own for some hours longer
Doubtless the peaches and apples and
many other things, will be reconstructed,
without the aid of Little Butler, or the help
of BidButler. Congress may breathe easy
on that score for a year at least, as there
will be no danger of our shooting negroes
for stealing apples and peaches, though
never heard of the like occurring. Seri-
ously though, we have had terrible snow
storm. 1t showed rapidly yesterday morn
ing for more than hour; the ground being
very wet, itIdid not lay. Last night it
showed again and the ground was covered
three inches with snow this morning, and
it remains too cold up to this writing 11
o'clock, A. NJ, to melt. FoBT.

Fruit Injured.

In conversation with gentlemen from
Columbia and vicinity, they state that the
cold weather of Saturday, Sunday and yes
terday, pretty well finished the fruit in that
region. We understand that the same re-
suits from the weather exist in Giles and
other counties adjoining us. We sincerely
trust that the injury has not been so great
and widespread as our friends think it is,
In this region, though the fruit is severely
injured, there is yet good deal that has
thus far escaped As it is cold, with sharp
atmosphere, and Indications of frost, how
ever, it may be all swept away when this is
