Tar RIVER SECTION OF North CAROLINA
OF HEALTH.-Tar river rises in
Person and Granville counties, pursues a
southeast course, ard passing by Tarboro',
Greenville and Washington, enters the
Pamlico Sound. Below Washington it ex-
pands into bay, and is called Pamlco
river. 1t is navigable for vessels drawing
nine feet of water to Washington, dis
tance of forty miles, and for small steam
boats, fifty miles further up to Tarboro'.
WASHINGTON
is on the north side of Tar river, and
place of considerable Importance, and
large trade was formerly done here, with
all the up country, but of late the trade
has concentrated, and the place controls on
ly that of the counties adjacent. This is
the county seat of Beaufort county. This
county has some very fine land, which when
cleared and cultivated produces from fifty
to one hundred bushels of corn, or from
four to five hundred pounds of lint cotton.
Ascending the river, the next importance
town is
GREENvILLE,
the county seat of Pitt county, which is
situated on the bank of Tar river, twenty
three miles above Washington, and twenty
five miles below Tarboro.' The soil of this
county is generally productive, suitable for
cotton, corn, peas, fruits, &c. The natur-
al growth of timber is red and post oak,
long leaf pine, &c. Proceeding up the
river twenty-five miles farther we arrive at
TARBoRo,
which is on the west side of Tar river, is
the county seat of Edgecombe county, and
one of the largest and most important
towns in this section of the State. 1t is
improving, and has every prospect of being
a place of considerable size. Boats run on
the Tar river from Washington to this
point. and here is branch road of the
Wilmington s. Weldon Railroad, which
connects with the main line at
ROCKY MOUNT,
at which point the Wilmington s. Weldon
Railroad crosses Tar river, and where is To-
Gated one of the largest cotton factories in
the State, and the only one in this section.
The first cotton factory erected in the State
was built at the falls of this river in 1918.
The county of Edgecombe produces more
cotton tt an any county in the State, and,
as o general rule, her farmers are in good
condition and fast recuperating from the
losses they sustained during the war. The
river then runs through Nash county, not
far from Nashville, its county seat, which
is about forty-ive miles from Raleigh
thence to
LoUIsBURG,
the county seat of Franklin county, which
is very pleasant town, nicely located, and
in the centre of a good farming district
The Tar river then is crossed by the Raj
eigh s. CASTOR Railroad, between Franklin
ton and Kittrell's, and in Person and Gran
vile counties is formed by several creeks.
This river has carried US from the fisheries
of the east. through large truck farms, into
cotton plantations, and landed US in thu
section where the best tobacco is raised il
the world. 1t is a very inviting and inter
esting country.
The above is from the pen of our friend
W. J. Woodward, Esq, correspondent O
the New York South. Mr.. Woodward

RECONSTRUCTION reconstruction
has commenced when the North begins to
realize some of the wrongs it has done US
and endeavors to amend them. There are
not few instances like that given in the
letter below:
LooKPoRr, Nov. End, 1874.
DEAR BRETHREN: In 1868, while Gen.
Foster was moving from Newbern to Tar
boro, we passed through town, I believe
its name was Williamson. After little
fighting the place fell into our hands, and
soon after some of our soldiers commenced
the work of destruction in robbing and
burning the buildings. was with the
army at the time, but thank God took no
part in the uncalled for and wicked work.
Among other places plundered, and be-
lieve burned, was Masonic Lodge which
you all, l suppose, only too well remember.
Here short time ago l was visiting a
brother soldier who was also in the same
raid. During our conversation We talked
over the Tarboro raid as we used to call it,
and the burning of the village, he said yes,
l have something to remember that occa-
sion and he thereupon presented Secreta-
rvs Jewel, bearing the following inscrip-
ton: Concord Chapter No. s." He gave

and see their power 50 rapidly slipping
from them. When their power is gone
and nothing is left but their shame, how
pitiful will be their condition.
