thanks.
We were pleased to meet yester-
day Mr.. Charles CoWan. who has
just arrived in our city from Lon-
donderry, Ireland. He comes to
make this place his home, and did
SO at the instance of Bishop Lyman.
His father is prominent minister

very nice one, laying walks with

the lookout for something cheap

would do well to see these walks,

matter.

THE H1sroRY OF IT.

The HISTORY OF IT.
The Asheville correspondent Of
the Charlotte Chronicle gives this
history of Battery Porter. After
alluding to the elegant hotel now ap-
preaching completion on this mag
ninifcent eminence, the writer
says (:
This eminence, a wonderful up
heaval of nature, is by far the most
picturesque in the town, and affords
one the best views of the surround
ing country and Mountain ranges
of any in Asheville. During the
war this was selected by Lieutenant
Porter of Jeter's Battery of South
Carolina as a formidable position
against the enemy and In conse-
quence received the name of Bat
tery Porter in honor of the Lieuterl-
ant above mentioned. On the top
of the hill are yet to be seen rifle
pits thrown up by the men stationed
there during the war. At one time
there were eight pieces mounted on
this hill with force of from I2oc
to goo men ready for action.
1t will be remembered that Ashe-
vile was the headquarters of the
Western Military Department of the
State then under command of Genl.
II. G. Martin. Virtually this place
was the key, protecting the iron
and cotton manufacturing in N. G,
and S. c., this point being the only
practical route for the Federal forces
to advance from Tennessee into
North Carolina. There was.no real
engagement between the two armies
on this site and Battery Porter's
soil was neyer stained By blood
from the soldiers on either side.

We saw our friend P. F. Patton, OF
Henderson county, in the city yesterday.
We are informed that he came here for
the purpose of offering to the w. IN. c.
R. R. Company ten acres of his farm on
the north side of the Swannanoa river,
and adjoining the lands of v. s. Lusk
and Mr.. Perry. for the use ofthe railroad
company for its shops, &c, in case they
are removed to this place. He says he
is willing to give the land in order to
get the shops there, and has made a
written offer to that effect. This looks
like business, and if the railroad
company has any idea at all of
coming to Buncombe county with its
shops, might it not be well for our town
people to offer them some inducements
ty come within the city limits? 1t would
add at least thousand souls to our pop-
ulation, to pay nothing of other advan-
tages to the 1place resulting from such
an influx of people and business.
However, we do not Wish to be under
stood as opposing our friend Patton in
his liberal, as well as sagacio1s measure
in this matter.

As is known, the Hospital also re-

to pay for their accommodation and
treatment. We are pleased to know
that the prospects for success in this
institution are most encouraging.
Throughout in every department,
the Hospital is most ably of6cered
and managed, equal, in fact, to any
similar institution in the country;
SO that parties desiring the very best
regulated hospital treatment, in COM
forts, diet, medical attention, &C.,
need not hesitate to go to this. 1t
is an institution which must prove
of great advantage to this city and
country, and We are gratified to
know it is receiving the warm sym>
pathy and hearty cooperation Of
our community. If every body will
give something, a small amount each
month, it will enable themanagers
to enlarge their facilities and sphere
of usefulness. It is such an insti>
tuition as appeals very strongly to
the generous hearted, and we hope
all will aid the angels of mercy who

people may know their charity is
not wasted upon unworthy objects.
May God bless and prosper the

backs, the managers are ckeered BY the
present condition and future prospects
of the institution.
Respectfully submitted tos Flower
Mission by Board of Managers.
In reply to many inquiries as to what
supports the Hospital, and how it is
managed, it has been decided best to
publish the lastquarterly report and also
few facts with regard to the manage
ment of the institution. 1t is entirely
under the control of the Flower Mission.
A Board of Managers, consisting of three
ladies from each congregation, is elected
every six months. Physicians are elect
ed annually. Everything is then left
to the managers and physicians acting
in concert. "A report is made every three
months of work done and present eondi-
tion.
As to the means of support An ap-
preparation of $35 month is made by
the county commissioners. The physi-
clans give their time and labor gratui-
tously and the present good condition is
largely due to the physicians at present
in charge. Two of these gentlemen are
in attendance every day, frequently sew
eral times day. Often all four are in
attendance at the same time.
Monthly subscriptions are made by the
friends of the enterprise of sums varying
from 81 o25c. One of these papers is
circulated in each congregation. The Ia
dies have hitherto felt a delicacy about
applying to anyone who has not volun-
tarily expressed "a desire to contribute,
but hereafter it is hoped every one in
Asheville will take part in the work.
THESE papers will be found in the hands
of Mrs Carmichael Mrs. Hall and Miss
Aston. Without making any appeal to
the public the ladies simply point to
what has been accomplished in six
months in face of every drawback. They
feel that they have earned the conf
dence of the public and therefore ask
the cordial and earnest support of every
citizen of Buncombe county. They have
received much kindness from the mer-
chants of Asheyille. The grocers and
furniture dealers always make very
liberal discount on all purchases.

For the CITIZEN.
THE CHURCH TEMPERANCE
MEETING,

Held at A. M. E. Zion Church last
Sabbath attracted large crowd ofour
colored citizens. Excellent music was
rendered by members of the several col
ored church choirs.
Rev. Mr.. Massiah of the Episcopal
Church first addressed the meeting. He
that he come by proxy that he did not
mean in sshis argument to break down
saloons, but fora union of sentiment and
feeling on the subject of temperance:
Neither did he intend TO advise
the voting of whiskey cut of the city or
to say that all who drank are going to
hell. As race we need church ten.-
perance society: Some on account of
not belongingt to a society of this kind do
not attend church once year.
Said whiskey is being used in England, ,
and we may expect 1t to be used in Am
erica. You must be member of some
church before you can be a member OF
a church Temperance Society. The prin-
|ciples are simple; one, the speaker ex-
EplAined, permits man to take u glass
per day. or before each meal, provided
he attends to his business. The custom
[of drinking cannot be entirely stopped,
but men should drink temperately.
we abstain totally from the use of ardent
spirits the motive to do so must come
from our own conscience, or by gradual
reformation. The speaker insisted that
the man who drinks moderately is just
the same as he who abstains altogether.
In conclusion said he would organize a
church temperance society at Trinity
Chapel and would introduce the same
among his day scholars.
Rev. r. P, Rumley, pastor of the coll
ered baptist Church, was the enextspeaker.
He said he was temperate in all things
but would not pledge himself to total
abstinence; said wine must be used. Re-
ferred to the use Of it IN the churches;
but If possible to knock the head out of
every barrel of Prince Alcahol be would
that it could be done Thought it best
to leave off drinking altogether, but
that wine must be used. He did not
understand the speaker who preceded
him in his reference to drinking at
meals.
w. A. Hemphill next spoke, and fol.
lowed generally, the other speakers.
Said total abstinence could only come by
gradual reformation. If a man wanted
to drink and could not, because not al
lowed to do so by some rule or law, he
was as guilty as he who Yields to his de-
sires.
Rev. Sam. Sherman. Pastor of the A.
NJ E. Zion Church, closed the meeting
BY announcing he would address the
people ON the same subject next We'd
nesday evening.
The above named gentlemen, am
sorry To- say, have taken solid stand
against the organization of the Sons oi
temperance among the eolored people
and have stricken the cause with high
hand and an outstretched arm.
