A SSs,ooo Paper Mill.
Lebanon TO the Front.
A Ronua Of Five Thousand HoiIars
Raised inf Two and 0ne-naif DAYS.

This is no party rooster, but gen.
uine Lebanon game-cock, growing for
Lebanon and vicinity, and for nobody
else. O'Neil Brothers, Of California,
bonded themselves to put in fifty
thousand dollar paper mill, il We
would raise q five thousand dollar sub
sidy, and the undersigned are the gal
liant fellows who did the work. All
honor to one and all who gave dol
lar. This enterprise assures not only
the success of our town, but is Of vast
interest to the entire county, as 1t will
consume hundreds of dollars worth
Of straw, material that has heretofore
been fed to the flames. II opens a
market for more country produce and
gives employment, regular and con-
slant, to at least sixty .hands. The
pay rolls of the paper mill, we are as
sured, will not be less than four
thousand dollars per month, which
will swell our volume OF trade very
materially. The real estate Of Leba-
non will not only be greatly enhanc-
ed, but also that Of the entire sur
rounding country. Already property
is rapidly changing hands, and just
now is the time to buy if you want to

PROGRESS OF VEGETATION.


Tracing the Process from the First Inroads
of Fertility.
1t is curious to trace the first inroads
of fertility on barrenness, by the nat
uraI growth of vegetation, in the shape
of lichens, which seem to be the har-
bingers of the vegetable world, and
ever exercising a restless activity in
extending the dominion of vitality.
These little plants will often obtain a
footing where nothing else could be
attached. So small are many, that
they are invisible to the naked eve:
and the decay of these, when they
have flourished and passed through
their transient epochs of existence, is
destined to form the first exuvial LAYER
of vegetable mold; the successive
generations give successive increments
to that soil from which men are to reap
their harvests, and cattle to derive
their their tIGG0d; from which forests are de-
signed to spring, and from which
future navies are to be supplied.
But how is this frail dust to main
tain its station on the smooth and
polished rock when vitality has ceased
to exert its influence, and the structure
which fixed it has decayed? This is
the point which has been too general
ly overlooked, and which is the most
wonderful provision of all. The plant,
when dying, digs for itself a grave,
sculptures in the solid rock sepulcher
in which its dust may rest; for chemis-
try informs us that not only do these
Hchens consist in part of gummy mat
ter, which causes their particles to
stick together. but that they likewise
form, when living. considerable guam
tity of oxalic acid, when by their decay
set free, acts upon the rock. and thus
is a hollow formed in which the dead
matter of the lichen is deposited. Fur
thermore. the acid, by combining with
the limestone or other material of the
rock, will often produce an important
ingredient in the vegetable mold; and
not only this, the moisture thus con-
Veyed into the cracks and crevices of
of rocks aud stones, when frozen, rends
them, and by continual degradation
adds more and more to the forming
soil Successive generations of these
plants successfully perform their
duties, and at length the barren break.
ers, or the pumice plains of volcano,
become converted into fruitful fields

In nominating Gen. Ransom, Mr.,

Mr.. PGEslDENT:-1he Democratic
party presents as its candidate the
name Of man who needs no intro>
ductlon to the people Of North Caro-
lima, for, 'luring the last thirty years,
his name has been one OF the most
familiar to the people Of this State.
We find that almost youth be
is called to the councils of our State,
and from that day until the present
time his history has become SO en-
twined with the history of North
Carolina that they have become one
and inseparahle.
In every sphere of life we have
seen him triel, Scarce had the first
harsh note Of the bugIe calling to
arms been sounded in our land when
he devoted himself to the service oil
his State and how be bore himself
in that carnage of strife how he fol
lowed the flag Of his State from the
trenches at Yorktown oyer the
bloody fields OF Virginia to the sum.
nit Of Getty sburg, and how lie fol-
lowed it back again through the
terrible Wilderness, guarded IT
through the long, gloomy winter al
Petersburg. and how he chung to i
till it was farlcd forever on The
banks of the historic Apromattox
all the world knows.
We next see him called by til,
| people Of his State at their first CD
portunity to serve them in the Senat,
Of the United States and there, Mr.
| President, be has renamed for eigh
teen years and has made a recOr,
which has not been surpassed If i
1as been cqualled by any citizen u
North Carolina.
When we scrutin;ze that recor>
and see That for eight, en- years b.
has been in the Senate of the Unite,
States where every avenue to wealtI
was open to him, and has remained
poor man; WI en- we see what 81
ocean of corruption Gnl jobbety ha
surged around him without one in

he has never failed to raise his vote

AN INTEREsTING BILL.

Congressman Springer's bill to help solve the Indian problem is bold one. He would create the new State of Columbia, to be com posed of the five civilized tribes in the Indian territory, as soon as these tribes shall form a satisfactory constitution. Upon the adop- tion of such constitution and the admis- sion of the State, the United States shall give up all control of the lands belonging to the indians of the new State.-.s
 This proposition will excite not a little dis eussion. It is not, we suppose, generally thought that there are enough good and inc telligent Indians to make much of. 8 State, and even if there are it will bss asked, as the Norwich Bulletin asks, what shall be done with the tribal system which is still in force among thema Shall we haveaa State divided into tribes instead of counties and townas {. A State which is based on tribal That will be something new, indeed, and something which is worth while to think about before grating on our already conglomerate system.
 It is probable that if an Indian State is formed it will be formed as other States are. There would be little gained by any other method of action. MT. Springer's bill will serve to bring out the facts in the case so that it can be known whether or not it is wise or feasible to make such a State. Inc dian representatives in congress would be interesting. They would think there was Cheap talk" there.
