Letter.
EDITORS APPEAI-We had a glorious
rain day before yesterday, Thursday,
with heavy electrical discharges, the
frst for a year, thereby rendering less
the probability of cholera and all azotic
disease. Crops, promising, negroes
working and behaving well; health
good, people Conservative, happy and
poor dn money. This is the richest part
Of our county, and the healthiest, not
outstanding the luxuriant vegetation
and heavy timber and innumerable
springs, branches and creeks. Lands
are enhancing, in view of prospec-
tive railroad. BY the way, / see they
are making ties of young, sappy gum,
which, if not fOrmanized, viii not last
two years.
Yesterday, Thursday, was quite a gala
day in the way of fine music, dancing,
good eating and drinking, and general
hilaTity near RembertOn, at which We're
many prominent citizens, among those
Of u acquaintance were General Wall
lace, of Raleigh, John Steele, of Mem
phis, and many candidates. We also
met Mr.. Rembert, our great inventor,
whom we accosted as Colonel, but who
promptly and politely declined, "having
any Colonel in his, Not yet at
tanned so high or fallen so low.
He is a scientific, unassumiBR and some
what retieent gentleman. His Press
is certainly a very original and power
ful combination, and, as / am told, Gen
eral Pike says "a mastery invention"
MIR. r. says his system is bound to
take, sooner or later, and break mp this
process of legitimated swindling, to
which the planters so abjectly submit,
but fears he viii never realize pecuniary
profit, a he is not the man to introduce
il, and has already spent all his availa-
bic funds in ~perfectiBg it. He also has a
patent for the simplest and cheapest APP
plicatiOn of horsepower for the planter
we yet devised, but is pecuniarily I'M
able to develop and introduce it-as well
as many other inventions too numerous
to mention.
The APPEAL Is a owe with this in
telligent and hospitable people, and very
popular. Enclosed is a copy of some
unique poetry, stuck up ON the picnic
ground, which is applicable and pretty
the ground and the poetry, and
we might add the subjects of both the
ground and the poetry. Big Greek must
develop her poet.
DPROvISATIONs OF THE DAY.
Zig Greek 20 the Bdadl
Hail, Frank DeLuca and your thrilling
strains,
And All the music member of your band!
Our sylvan woods in their wild refraias
Reverberate your music DER the land.
From hillside and valley, hilltop and vale,
The clans come cantering TO 5he call;
weird melodies float on the gale
As the gentle zephyrs rise and fail.
And Inc sturdy stately, stalwart man,
And the matrOn, too, all come to Whirl
In 4 happy, hazy caravan.
Oh, the girls, the girls, the gushing girls.
Our very woods echo the ecstacies;
Who can stand the smiles that music curIs
Into Iaptures Of seraphic bliss?
The very clouds that aoat in air above
Shall come together at our carnival,
And at your magic music and our love
Meet in streams ofjoy delectable.
we have none to meet and melt
At your rich and ravishing refrain.
our girls and clouds have ever felt
The mingling glories Of love and rains
ACRosTIC.
