Rev. Walter w. Moore, d. D.
From the .JVilminetoa Scr.


We heard Rev. DIR. Moore at the
First Presbyterian church at night.
His morning sermon is represented to
us as being especially fine. He looks
to be about 80 or 33 years of age, is
tall and slightly built. He has an
intelligent face, fine head, and a
weak voice but a pleasant one. de
did not use note as far as we could
perceive. His style is easy, without
marked mannerism or excessive gest-
iculation. He speakes readily, felicit-
ously and occasionally with earnest
ness. He is not an orator, but a very
agreeable speaker. His sermon at
night was on Regeneration, and the
text was the famous one in Johns
Gospel and the interview between the
Saviour and the Jewish teacher, Mic
odemus. It was the best discourse on
the subject we remember to have
heard. The introduction was extreme
ly happy-an excellent test of sermon
izing. The discussion was clear, CO.
gent and of sustained interest. The
language was colloquial and easy, but
SCI olarly and exact. In 80 minutes
the speaker packed away about as
much solid thought and illustration as
many d. DIS would be able to get in
an hour or perhaps week. It was
not great discourse, but very good
one. The plan was simple and yet ex-
haustive. Judging the gifted and cul-
tivated young North Carolinfan by
this one effort we should say he was a
man of marked promise, was thinker
a reasoner and scholar.

and concludes with severe arraign-
ment of the Republican party.
The platform was read and when
submittad the nomination of lieuten-
ant governor was proceeded with.
After several secondary speeches a
ballot was taken, but before the roll
call was completed, it being evident
that Massey had already received a
majority OF votes, Hunts name was
Withdrawn and Massey was nominal
ed by acclamation.
Gen. James A. Walker, of Wythe
county; Rufus A. Ayres, of Scott !;
and R. r. Henry, of Tazewell ,swere
placed in nomination for attorney
general. The first ballot resulted IN
no choice, the contest being between
Walker and Ayres, with nearly one
hundred votes for Henry. Before the
vote was canvassed the Henry men
changed almost solidly to Ayres which
gave him largely over majority.
His nomination was thereupon made
unanimous.
A resolution was adopted by ris-
ing vote expressing sorrow at the
death of Gen. US. Grant, and graft
fcation at the thought that he had in
his days borne himself towards the
people. of the South with such magma
nimity and good faith as can never be
forgotten, and rendering sincere SYM
pathy to his bereaved family.
The platform was then read and
adopted by unanimous vote. The
reading of the platform was frequent
ly interrupted by applause.
Hon. John S. Barbour was unani-
mously reelected chairman of the
State executive committee.
Speeches were then made by Mr..
Ayres, the newly chosen candidate for
encouragement, Gen. Jas. A. Walk
er and John W. Daniels, after which
the convention at $50 p. M adjourned.

From a London Letter.


A long time ago | went over the
house and came to room which had
been religiously closed for years. It
was open by special order, and there
issued from it certain hallowed odor
which exhales on opening long clos
ed sanctuary. The blinds were drawn
and semi prevailed. We drew
near table and my guide explained
that this was the late Prince Consort's
room, and everything was to-day just
as he left it when he died. The dust
was nearly an inch thick on his writ
ing desk half used quill was lying
crosswise where it had fallen from his
hand on its rack; there were several
articles about paper weight, a book,
and to the right near the abandoned
quill, little carved frame, and in
this frame a portrait. I think [ can
see it now-the youthful Victora
painted by Winterhalter. Her maj
esty has sweet, fair face and rosebud
mouth. and she wears an apple-green
gown, thetint just glimmeripg through
some folds of lace. This picture was
always by the Prince Consort's side,
and when this sanctum was vacated
forever no one dared to touch it or
even the smallest object in the room.
By the Queens ordors it stands to-
day as it stood then. The dust is a
little thicker on tapestry, chair and
table; the quill still lies in its old
place and the little royal picture
smiles as sweetly as Of yore from its
half dimmed frame. I need not say
that this chamber is never opened on
q reyel night, but I could not help
thinking of it as we walked through
other Dyely but less sacred apart
ments

Having spent some time in gazing
upon the grandeur of the scene and liv-
ing over these fancies / turned my face
down the Seven Mile ridge and after
travelling for some time amongst the
spurs of the Seven Mile and Blue
Ridge reached the gap where the
road from Burnsville and Bakersville
leads through and on to Marion. Here
there is some magnetic red hematite.
1 did not find indications of any great
quantity. From there returned to
huntsville. 1, am deeply impressed
with the practicability Of extending
the railroad from Cranberry ON by
way of Burnsville to the French
Broad valley. It is by no means a
aifbeult route down the North Toe
River valley to the junction with
South Toe, thence up Crabtree to
Burnsville and crossing to Caney
River and down that few miles to
the mouth of Bald Mountain Greek,
at the head of which occurs the only
serious obstruction on the whole line,
and tunnel of thousand or fifteen
hundred feet will overcome that. The
magnetic iron and other minerals Of
Mitchell, Yancy and Madison through
which the road would pass, together
with the timothy hay, orchard pro-
ducts, and timber which can be reach
ed in no other way would furnish very
handsome freight lists. Besides it is
very nearly an airline indeed from
Cranberry to Ducktown-to Cleve-
land and to Marietta by way of the
North Georgia & Murphy Railway.
This suggestion is worth thinking
about, fofs it has good deal in it..
Success to every thing which will de-
velop and enhance the value of North
Carolina territory.
