The Robesonidn says We learn
that much interest is felt in certain To-
calities in regard to the construction
of railroad connecting the points
above named. The route suggested
will be about twenty-eight miles In
length, over perfectly level country
and through one of the richest farm
ino sections to be fonnd in the two
States.
We have heard it said by parties &C
auainted with the proposed route that
two points alone would ship at least
5000 bales of cotton, while vast guam
titles of timber, tar, turpentine, fruit,
&C., would find a way to market.

Massachusetts paper remarks that
there is very plain moral to the story
of the drowning of young Cameron, of
the Trinity University crew, and that
is that no man should venture to row
in ''shell" who cannot swim. Moth
ing is easier than to upset one of these
delicate crafts, as we know by sad and
damp experience, and rowing man is
sure to have a chance, sooner or later,
to utilize his ability to swim.

From the Raleigh News
EX.President Davis and the Uni
versIty OF North Carolina.

From the Raleigh News.
Ex-President Davis and the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
We have been moved with sorrow,
not to say indignation, to see the in
timatlon made IN some State cotemp-
orary that the trustees of our State
University at meeting to be held in
this month, to choose a faculty for
that institu ion propose in the dis
charge of that duty to discriminate in
favor of North Carolinians. The
University of North Carolina never
attained its proud position of the peri
cd preceding the war by the guild
ance of policy SO narrow. Amongst
the four or five hundred students that
enjoyed its advantages might be found
some from nearly every Southern
State. 1t is to be hoped that the trus-
tees will SO act as to bring to the Uni
versity speedy and permanent resusci-
tation upon a broad basis. It has
been recently stated that the venera-
Bile ex-PreSident of the lost Confeder-
acy would p1 o badly have acce oted the
Presidency of a Texas College if it
had been offered to him. Even if a
position has already been rendered
him as matter of business the Uni
versity of North Carolina can well af-
ford to bid higher for the man who
above all others in the Union
could secure to it at once the greatest
patronage. Ia it too much to say that
his name and services would be worth
to such an institution ten thousand
dollars a year ? Mr.. Davis is poor,
however, and doubtless would, if at
all, accept the position for q less sal
airy, but it would be unworthy of
North CaroIinians to make niggardly
proposition for what would be worth
handsome sum. Twenty-Five years
of plodding and trimming under others
would hardly do as much for Chapel
Hill as one breath of the name
and fame of the great Jefferson
Davis. He belongs to no man or
set of men. He is the country
man of as all. Endeared to us by the
suffering which he has borne at an ad-
vanced age for the people he loves and
who must love him in return. In MS
presence the petty jealousies and riv-
alries which ordinarily govern men
will be forgotten and the University
of North Carolinr would be raised
into a higher and broader and more
dignified and honorable career than
can otherwise be attained. We res
pectfully suggest therefore to our wor-
thy trustees of the University the
name of the Hon. Jefferson Davis for
the Presidency of that time honored
institution.

Wake Forest Conn enC ement-
Col. WaddeIHs Address.

wake Forest Com enCement-
Col. WaddeIps Address.
IN the Raleigh NeaCs we find very
interesting report of the Commence
ment Exercises at Wake Forest on
Tuesday and Wednesday, the first and
second days.
The reports from the different Off
cials showed the Institution in bet
ter financial condition than it has been
at any time since the war. There were
81 matriculates during the session,
one of whom was from Texas, one
from Mississippi. and one from Tenn
essee, and two from Virginia, the re-
mainder being from North Carolina.
On Tuesday night the Rev. DR..
Thos. E. Skinner delivered the annual
sermon from the text, "Thy Kingdom
come. Go preach the Gospel to every
creature" and on Wednesday morn
Ing Hon. A. M. Waddell delivered the
Annual Address before the two Lite
rary Societies.
Col. Waddell congratulated the peo-
pie of the South upon the revival of
good feeling which was evident in
every section of the country, as shown
by the centennials of the present
year. He reviewed briefly the his
tory of the past ten years, the feeling
of bitterness which has existed be-
tween the North and South, and ex-
pressed his great qualification at
seeing these clouds dispense before
the reunion under one common flag
which has taken place this year at
Lexington, at Concord and at Char
lOtte, which had been common thea~
tres for the expression of Joy at the
national liberty achieved one hundred
years ago. He could but see good re-
suits from these reunions, and he
could not refrain from again congrat-
ulating the Southern people upon the
better future which was in store for
them as the dark clouds of oppression
and misunderstanding were being
swept away.
The speaker announced as his sub
ject the great deep. He characterized
the ocean as being divided in name
but being one in fact, and as the
grandest of material creation on our
planet, an ever restless, ever moving
body. He treated the vastly deep in a
manner that evidenced his deep re-
search into the misty lore of the past,
while his description of the wild
beauty and grandeur of storm npon
old ocean, the thunder of the waves
and the roar of the waters, was truly
eloquent.
He stated that the coast of North
Carolina was warmer in winter and
cooler in summer than any other coast
on the American continent, and said
that every person who had never seen
its beauties should not fail to embrace
the first opportunity to witness the
grandeur of ''the great. deep"-the
bitter salt sea that sweetened the
earth, the wonderful sea, the awful
sea, the beautiful sea.
In conclusion, the speaker gave some
good advice to the young men just
leaving College and entering upon the
great sea of life, warning them to be-
ware of the breakers and storms which
were constantly breaking over our
heads.

The Crops.

We are advised by persons who
have visited the various sections OF
the State, that the crops are steadily
improving, and that the condition de-
scribed by our own correspondents IN
our commercial report of the 4th inst.
was essentially correct.
In Cumberland the prospects for
cotton and corn are very good; small
grain fine and almost ready for the
reaper, In Chatham the oats crop is
not very good, stand being rather
thin: cotton fair corn fair. In Wake cot
ton looks astonishingly well, is about ten
days behind last year; corn and oats
fair; rye and wheat not quite an aver
age. Johnston, all prospecting well.
Greene, crops very good. Wayne, an
average. Duplin, improving steadily.
The trucking business in Duplin'
Wayne and Wilson has rot been very
profitable. The absence of all fruits
is remarked. upon rs complete failure
in ali sections mentioned. Heretofore
we have always had some fruit in the
worst seasons, but this year there is
none. Altogether the outlook is sat
isfactory.
