HISTORY OF MECKLENRI1RG
COUNTY.

No complete and perfect history of
the State of North Carolina will be pos
sible until there is written full and ac-
curate histories of every county in the
State. OF very few counties has any his
tory at all been written, and of those.
most of the histories have been hurriedly
prepared, and are neither full nor ac-
curate. DR.. ]. 3. Alexander, of Char
lotte, has written history of Mecklen-
burg county which will soon appear. An
advance circular gives the scope of the
work:
1T is now in press. 1t goes back to
1740, before the county was laid off, Gin
good old Colony times. when we lived
under the King Mr.. Craighead, the
man of such a wonderful history, came
to our county in 1853, and shaped the
destinay of the county, both in it's poll
tics and religion, more than any other
man. A full account of him is given,
and the part he played in achieving our
independence. Also a Biographical sketch
of those who are known as the Signers
of the Declaration of independence of
the goth of May, 1775, and many others
who took an active part in those stirring
place in the county, both civil and mill
tary, religious and political. The changes
that have taken place; the list of SOL
diers in the war of 1S12-14 furnished by
the county, the War with Mexico, and
a complete list of all. troops furnished
by the county in the War Between the
States; and much valuable information
collected from Foot, Wheeler, Martin
Lyman Draper, Mrs. H. M. Irwin and
others.

Mt. Mckinley.

The MAIL AND HERALD says that the failure of Dr. Cook to scale Mt. Mckinley will cause scores of adventurous mountain climbers to attempt tie feat. 4 mountain that has the name of being impervi- ous to human assault. will be q great attraction to enthusiasts on mountain climbing.
 Mount Mckinley is probably the least known mountain in the world. So little has the country surround ing it been penetrated tlat the ac- curate location of the peak was as- ceriained only five years ago. the year in which it was given its name. Even its altitude has only been approximated, the estimate of its altitude being 2O.4OO feet. This is approximately mile great CT than the altitude of the other lofty peaks of North America. Nor Is the altitude the greatest obstacle to the ascent. On account of it's far northern latitude the perpetual snow line on the slopes of the mountain is from one to two miles lower than those on the other American peaks. The formation of the peak is of granite in great Jutting promontories, while down the intervening canyons crawl vast glaciers which break off in huge chunks, leaving exposed perpendic- ular faces of icc, hundreds of feet in height. The mountain is some less than four hundred miles from the coast, but the region surrounding it has been so little explored that less than 100 people have ever been in sight of it, and prior to the visit of the Cook party no photograph of it had ever been taken. It is difficult to conceive that there is a place on the surface of the globe upon which nature has forbidden man to stand, but it is altogether probable that for years to come the summit of Mt. Mckinley will re- main untrodden by the foot of even the most intrepid mountain climber.
