nearly O century and a quarter, in
almost Jewish seclusion from the
general turmoil of the world, devoted
almost exclusively to the absorbing
subjects of education and religion. AS
a communion, they have not increased
to any considerable extent, but their
descendants, members of another
faith, are widely spread over Western
North Carolina, and embrace many of
our leading men and families. They
revere the name of their illustrious
founder, Count Zinzerdorf, AID called
their land
wACHOvIA,
after the Wachau Valley in Austria, of
which he was Lord.
Thus it will be seen that the sources
of North Carolina life were English,
Scotch, Scotch-Irish aud German
mainly, with minor streams of Irish,
Swiss, and here and there O French
Huguenot: and with very small infu-
sion indeed of foreign immigration
since the original settlements, our peo-
pleare almost exclusively their descend
ants. There has been little or no exclu-
sive feeling among these races; they
have married and intermarried until the
cssual observer can scarcely determine
by any outward sign to what blood
any owe their orig l, except in a few
localities where the old land customs
and prejudices were longer observed
in full force. It has been but a few
years since the Gospel was preached to
portions of our people in both Ger
nan and Gaelic.
OF the race which of all these has
given most color and tone to our soci-
ETY., and which furnishes the key to
our public character-the Scotch
J~ish, l shall speak more particularly
in another paper.

For the Journal.
A New Grange-The Resources OF
Lincoln Township.

MesSTS. Editors:
On yesterday our community joined
the great farmers movement which is
agitated throughout the land. Mr.. j.
@. Mcmillan, of Duplin, organized the
Grange. Although his intended visit
was not generally known, yet quite a
number of our best farmers responded
to the call. Many young ladies, too,
were present, adding, as they inva-
riably do, an Interesting feature and a
lively zest to the occasion. A thorough
organization was effected, and we I'M
derstand that the Grange asserted the
inalienable rights of the farmer and
took active steps for the cause of ag-
riculture.
The following are the officers of the
''Lillington Grange No. -"
J. W. Herring, Master.
Lester Bell, Oversee.
A. J. McJntire, Lecturer.
Liston Simpson. Steward.
J. III. Herring, Chaplain.
II. M. Scott, Treasurer.
w. W. LarkiDs, Secretary.
Mrs. j. a. JUueo, Cores.
Miss Kate Lamb, Pomona.
Miss Mary LarFins, Flora.
Miss Lutte LarkIns, Lady Assistant
Steward.
We are proud to note the interest
manifested, and hail it as departure
from former apathy and as harbinger
of better times. Our farmers, possess
ing agricultural advantages inferior to
no section of the county, and becom-
ing tired of the empty cries for 'sim-
migration" and Northern capital, "
have resolved to 'put their shoulders
to the Wheel" and with a united eff
fort, develop their own resources
which they abundantly possess. This
is, indeed, q wise conclusion. The
disorganization among our farmers is
what has heretofore so materially re-
tarded advancement in farming when
there is concert of action, mutual con-
sultation, in short, when there is
uaiora and common interest Jtlt, then
and not. till then, can we expect COM
munity to prosper.
Lincoln township at present with a
population of about thirteen hundred
could, with its resources developed,
support a population five times as
| large. Besides, hundred of acres of
| cleared land now uncultivated, some
of the uncleared land bordering on the
[ rich swamps and valleys, is equal to,
if not superior to the lauds of the ad-
| jacent townships.
It has been said that 'muck is the
mother of the meal chest;" our rich
valleys trayersed by many streams af-
ford superior advantages for compost.
ing; and some of our farmers have YET
to learn that the gold has been washed
from the hills and deposited in the
valleys and swamps.
| With Oranges in our midst, and
with a more convenient local govern
ment, which we will soon have, the
new county townships will prosper
and rejoice. By uniting, the farmers
have aimed deadly blow ut monop
olies and corporations. We look fo,
better times. MAT.

Miss Catherine E. Beecher, sister of
Henry Ward Beecher, wrote a long
letter in the New York Tribune, in de-
fense of her brother from the charge
of adultery. It is all lame and i'm
potent defense. She don't want the
case to reach the courts, but to rest
entirely on public opinion.
The new American Chapel. in pro-
cess of construction in the new quar-
ter of Rome, excepting the basiiicas,
will be the most beautiful ecclesiasti-
cal building in the city. It is built in
the present Lombard and Gothic
style. The exterior facings will be
travertine, the interior of beautiful
Aries stone. The tower, with good
peal of bells, will be 140 feet high.
The design includes lecture rooms,
school rooms, library, and lodging
rooms for the officiating clergyman.
The land cost s25, 900, and the build
ing will cost $40, 600; of the latter sum
s55, 900 have already been subscribed.
