Dedicated most respectfully to J. G.,
EM , and bis esteemed wife, and through
them to the candidates elect of the late
political straggle in the Old North State.
The Sooth, O the South, is the land of my
choice!
I've aspired to exalt her by pen and by
voice,—
Her wins shed a halo of honor o'er earth,
Ami her daughters give radiance to the
land of their birth!
; The Sooth, O the South '—How that clime
is adored!
Her shores and her mountains with
luxury stored I
I The marks of miifortune are on her 'tis
trne,—
But her wounds we will heal them—
her glories renew I
In the South, in the South from interior
to wave,
Where chivalry shines on the shielde of
the brave!
There a gentleman's grasp doth a welcome
impart.
Ami the stranger's at home iu his house
aud his heart!
Then hail to the Southland ! then hail to
thy skies!
And liu.il to the virtue that beams from
those eyes
Wherein valor and love with a rapture
upwell,
And where guarded by honor doth gen-tleness
dwell!
O'er the South, o'er the South, may pros-perity
rluw!
May Heuveu arojmd her and o'er her
bestow
Every gift that could bless her for now
aud for aye,
Is the prayer that I utter by night and
by day!
In vain would they paint thee in hues
leas divine ;—
In vain they compare other beauties
with thine,—
For them other climes may have charms
I owu't,-- '
But leave thee, sweet Southland—no,
leave thee 1 won't!
For the Patriot.

T. K, TAYLOR,
At 8 o'clock one morning a party
of ladies and gentleaieu left one of
Xorlli Carolina's largest cities,
bound for the sea-side. We bad
long treasured op in anticipation
tbe pleasant Lours we were to spend
on tbe briny deep, aud it was with
joyous hearts and great expectation
that we took our seats iu the rail-road
car. Ou our way we stopped
at Greensboro, lor tbe purpose of
visiting old acquaintances. All
were greatly astonished at tbe rap
id improvements this city has made
iu the last few years. New build-ings
moot tbe eye at every glance.
We have visited most of North Car-olina's
large cities, but we saw none
which so plainly gave evidence of
n spirit of enterprise and industry.
We could not remain as long as we
wished iu this lovely city, but again
find ourselves seated iu tbe railway
train, at the unreasonable hour ot
midnight. We were destined to
have a sleepless night, ou account
f wuat I conceive lo be the great-est
of tiaveliug nuisauces—the en-gine
whistle. I kuow that we all
heartily wished its horrid bellow
abolished aud some other method
not quite so bviiterotu adopted. At
Goldshoro we remained for a halt n
day, and then ouce more—aud lor
the last time—were seated in the
cars. 1 have nowhere seen the land
so productive, and the growth so
thick as along the line of the Atlan-tic
and North Carolina Bailroad
In fact it is said that tbe land is
inexhaustible, and can be used for
any length of time without injury
to the soil. We arrived at the point
of our destiuatiou—Morebead City
—and were met, and most hospita-ble
entertained by tbp.t Prince ol
hotel keepers, Mr. Solomon C. Poil
lips, who did everything iu his pow-er
to accommodate us, and who
feasted us upon soft crabs and every
delicacy of the season. I would ad-vise
every one who wishes to have
pleasing reminisceuces of his trip,
to stop here. It was night though
and we could only hear the roar of
the great ocean. This only increas-ed
our anxiety tenfold to learn from
exjterience "life on the ocean wave,"
so after refreshing the "inner man"
(the stomach must always have its
dues first) we concluded to sail—
many for the first time—on the sea.
It was all darkness, but as the orb
of night rode np the Eastern hea-vens,
the stars one by one, as so
many watchflres, on the plaue of
the skies, faded from view, and left
only a trace of their existence. Then
it was, that the water pot on its
most glorious form of beauty, for
the pale moon holding universal
reign, poured her rays upon the
mighty Atlantic, and painted the
whole scene with her mellow ra-diance.
I conld not but sit in ador-ing
silence, and think of tbe majes-ty
and glory of the Great Creator.
I*say and I know all will agree with
me, that the sea by moouligbt is the
most beautiful picture allotted to
mortal to behold. Every object to
bc seen here, seems to be associated
with some historical fact. More-head
suggests to us the name of the
greatest governor who has as yet
occupied that high position. Ever
venerated be his name! It reminds
us of the failure of bis great pur-poses,
which, if they had have suc-ceeded,
wonld have made us, tbe
people ot North Carolina, far differ-ent
from what we are now. But
let us not look to the past, but to
the future.
We have visited Fort Macon
which commands the entrance to
tion. In this harbor, during the
late war, Sherman's aud Burnside's
fleets ot 48^ sails anchored, and
made this place the base of their op-erations
in Eastern Carolina. It is
said that there is no better harbor
on tbe American coast than Bogg's
souud, not even exceptiug the oue
at Norfolk. This Is the reason it
was selected by the lameuted Mote
head, who intended that Beaufort
and Morehead City should be the
great cities through wbicb tbe pro-duce
of Western Caroliua should
be shipped.
Beauiort is a town of between
1,500 and 2,000 inhabitants, and is
associated with many historical
memories, which I do not now pro
pose to relate It is also a towu of
great antiquity. In the graveyards
can be seen tombs nearly two cen
tnries old. I saw oue dated 174L'.
It was the grave of an old man, and
as I stood by the side of his grave
I could not but think of the customs
of his day, and ask the question,
To what purpose did be live i There
were none to answer. All his com-panions
bad departed, and his mem-ory
was forgotten. Thus is man.
The tombstones record the fact that
the majority of persons there buried
lived and died iu auotber century.
Beaufort appears as if it were liter-ally
dead, there seems to be no spi-rit
either ol enterprise or iudnstry.
1 would ask North Carolinians
whether they had lost all State pride
or whether Badical oppression had
sapped all their life. I heard a po-litical
orator at this place ask the
people to vote for him '• for," said
he, " if I am elected, and then prove
a scoundrel you lose nothing, for
you have nothing to lose, anyway."
I am not able to state whether these
are the prospects of the larger part
of North Carolina, but 1 do state it
is thus in some portions,
To-day we visited the light house
and we all agreed that suulight ou
the ocean was second ouly to moon-light.
But I shall not attempt to
describe how gracefully our little
Hail skimmed through what seemed
to be a sea of dazzling and glitter-ing
diamonds. I shall not attempt
to describe how the sun suffused in
what seemed • dreamy haze, disap-peared
beneath tbe Western |sky
and tlung his lingeiiug rays athwart
the watery deep and set it ablaze
with bis departing glory. But I
shall attempt to tell you somethiug
concerning the lighthouse. The
lighthouse is situated on Cape
Lookout, and was constructed to
warn vessels lo keep off the danger-ous
shoals which extend from the
Cape into the sea lor nearly thirty
miles. The buildiug is nearly 200
feet, iu height, and is neond iu that
resi>ect only to the one at Cape
Battens, which is 220 feet in height
It is sixty feet in diametar at the
base and' twenty at the extreme top.
It is a very expensive building, tbe
lighthouse proper cost ($180,000)
oue hundred aud eighty thousand
dollars, aud the lamp, which came
from Paris and is the most costly on
the whole coast, cost (11,000) eleven
thousand dollars. The light of the
lamp can be seen lor nearly forty
miles The view from the top is
splendid : ships can be seen passing
at nearly all hours 0J the day. For
over thirty miles you see naught
save the "blue expanse of waters,
and the waves which toss their
arms heavenward as il in despair. It
appears like the effort* ot some en-raged
monster endeavoring to wrest
himself from the grasp of a power
still mightier. Tbe quiet sky above
you is iu vivid contrast to the roll-ing,
tossing, heaving bosom ol the
deep. But 1 must not forget to
make honorable mention ot the
bathing. It certainly la most de-lightful
to throw yourselt upon the
waves and be borne inward and
thrown upon the beach as if the sea
despised you. I say in conclusion,
that if anyone wishes bis health re-cuperated,
new vigor infused into
his system, and if he desires pleas-ing
subjects for conversation in the
long wiuter evenings to come, let
him immediately take his departure
from wherever he resides. Come
to Morehead City, stop at the Ma-con
Haass and eat soft crabs with

A ROMANCE OF THE WHITss
HOUSE.
dTrof'r'T1 yoa is&^\~&mm£ttsrs\
I f«t lo.i^ ^R!",,™ at'OU 1° t-h" OB,iou aro »°l»ta»tially the same as
DglltotiwofBtt^lrwB Frtut: last reported. Speculators are the I
I be Law remains the same as last
year. Persons intendiug to com-mence
tbe distillation of Brandy
from Fruit must give notice on
Form No. 27J to tbe Collector of
his District, or through the Deputy
Collector of his Division, of his in-tention
to distill. Ou receipt of
this notice, Mas Collector will either
himself or by an Assistant make a
survey of Still or Stills proposed to
be used. After tbe completion of
such survey, and before commence-ment
of distillation, each distiller
shall make and execute a bond on
form No. 30i, with at least two
sureties, to be approved by the Col-lector
of the District The penal
sum of said bond shall not be less
than double the amouut of the tax
on the spirits that cau be distilled
in his Distillery during a period of
fifteen days as ascertained by the
survey.
Every distiller from fruit must
provide himself with a book, in ac-cordance
with Form No. 254, in
which he shall from day to day
make a true aud exact report ol the
hours between which the Still is
operated each day; the kind,
quantity and condition of the fruits
used ; tbe nnmber of times each
Jloie Many Grangers Tlirre Are.—
The nnmber of subordinate Grauges
now in operation is but a few score
less than twenty thousand. Iowa
had tbe largest number on the first
of June, tbe date of last report, be-ing
1,904, iudiana was 1,068, aud
Missouri had 1,929, while the Kan-sas
Granges numbered 1,323. Illi-nois
had 1,481, aud Kentucky had
1,101. The cotton and Gulf States
aloue had 4.005 Granges. There
are now about thirty Granges in
Canada. The California Oranges
are organizing a National Gold
batik with tive millions capital.—
Steps are beiug taken for a direct
transfer of grain from the farm to
purchasers iu England.
An eastern paper tells of a young |
woman of Battleboro, who sent a
friend to buy her a pair of shoes.
"Shetold her friend to get uumber
fives, but her friend, being anxious
to secure a good tit lor her, oidered
the storekeeper to chauge the marks
on a pair of sevens. Ue did so, and
the lady said they fitted better than
any she had had for a long time.
Central Texas has a population ol
500,000, Northern and Eastern Tex-as
400,000, and Western lexas,
which is cut off from the other por-tions
of the State by tbe swift roil-ing
Colorado, has 200,000.
Ohio has has nine universities
and thirty-three colleges.
Still has been boiled oft during each
day, and the quantity of Singlings
aud Brandy produced thereby.—
This book is required to be kept or
preserved for two years after said
book has been filled up.
After he has given the notice re-ferred
to—the survey made—the
bond given aud approved—and has
provided himself with the book
spoken of, be can commence work.
Ou or before the 10th day of each
mouth the distiller must make a
sworn return on Form No. 15, show-ing
the nnmber of hours be has
worked his Distillery and tbe
quantity of Brandy made during
the preceding month. In other
words, tbe distiller's SWOTS state-ment
is taken of the time he has
worked hi; Distillery and thcBrau-dy
made.
The Government does not keep a
Storekeeper at Brandy distilleries
the same as at Grain distilleries.
Ou or before the 25th day of each
month the distiller must notify the
Collector of the probable number of
packages he has ready for gauging,
and after the last day of the month
the Collector will seud aTsauger to
gauge the Brandy theu on hand.—
The Gauger makes his report to tbe
Colloctor, and then tbe Collector
will deliver tbe necessary stamps
to tbe distiller on payment of the
tax—seventy cents per gallon.
The Government pays for the
ganging. All the expense the dis-tiller
is obliged to pay is the seven
ty cents per gallon. Distillers of
Brandy from fruit are not required
to construct their Distilleries in auy
particular way, as is the case with
distillers of gralu.
Fruit distillers will be taxed for
eighty percent, of their capacity.
That is to say, the survey of the
Stills show that they can make so
many gallons per day; now, by
taking their sworn statement of the
number of hours their Distillery
has been rtiti during the month, we
can easily ascertain whether they
have made the eighty per cent, re-ferred
to. And if the Ganger's re-
|x>rt does not show the eighty per
cent, spoken of, then a deficiency-tax
will bo assessed agaiust tbe
distiller for the amount ot the dif-ference
between the eighty per cent,
and the quantity actually produced.
This deficiency is ouly assessed
when the distiller makes less than
the eighty per cent, of his capacity.
On completing the process ot
distillation, the distiller must draw
the theBiandy distilled by him in-to
casks of not less than ten gallons,
wine measure, and must retain the
same at the designated place of
deposit until the tax is paid there-on.
Severe penalties are provided
in the law for altering, changing,
consuming or removing the spirits
before the tax is paid thereon and
the tax stamps attached thereto.
The Brandy, when stamped, may-be
sold by the distiller at the place
of manufacture and in the stamped
packages, but not otherwise, with-out
his paying tbe special tax of
Liquor Dealer.
The blank Forms referred to here-in
can be obtained from the Col-lector
of the District.
Very respectfully,
THOMAS D. MCALPINE,
Revenue Agent.
gregate offeriugs for the week were
divided about equally between or-iginal
inspections anil reviews.
The situation appear.- to be about
this : Then- is uudimiuished con-fidence
iu the theory that existing
values are warrauted by the statis-tical
position of the staple, and a
further advance ou most grades is
considered a wellassnred assump-tion,
but the comparative luke-warmuess
of seaboard anil foreign

Cancer.—Tbe attention of the
medical world abroad has been
aroused by the new treatment of
cancer, introduced in London by a

He couteuds that cancer is not a
local but a general disease; that it
arises from the presence of a poison
in the system ; and that the knife
will never cure the disease, but only
postpone its fatal effect. His remedy
consists in setting np another
disease—fever—under the influence
of which, the blood poison, which
causes the caucer, is thrown off. It
is said that he has made some mar-vellous
cures. ,

Agricultural Philosophy.
There is no great success in farm-ing
without hard work; but it is
the good thiukiug that costs, not
the plodding alone. It is op-blll
business to go against the common
judgment of all your neighbors, but
if you are sure you are right, go
ahead, no matter what they say.
The servant is not above his master
in industry; the farmer must be
able to lead the field and kuow
whether a man is doing good work,
aud the workman must know that
he knows what a day's work is.
When I see a man draining his farm
for several reasons he has not shed
new lustre upon the bench ; Judge
Cloud is honest but totolly unfit to
fill the office ; Judge Albertsnn and
Boxton, the latter of whom has been
re-elected, were not so obnoxious,
being generally fair, anil though
timid, yet only occasionally showing
the partisan.
In the place of these men who
have in a great measure cast a slur
upon the very name of court, and
have made an honest administration
of the law tbe exceptiott rather than
the rule, we have now men identi
fled with the beat interests ot the
State, pure, learned and faithful —
Bare in the First, who has been s
ad-
Mauy years ago a lawyer in tbe
Quaker City, poor and unknown to
fame, fell in love with a beautiful
youug lady of Baltimore, and his
love being recipocated, an engage-tin-
lit ensued.
The mother ot the yonng lady,
however, did not view the engage-ment
with satisfaction or pleasure.
Indeed, she beaTtily disapproved of
it, for lbe youug lawyer was alto-gether
too poor ami obscure to mar-ry
into one of the wealthiest and
most aristocratic of Baltimore fam-ilies.
This, at least, was the opinion
of the young girl's mother, who be-ing
very ambitious and correspond-ingly
proud, desired that her daugh-ter
should wed some person prom-inent
either iu this or some other
country.
She brought all her influence to
bear upon the girl, and did all she
possibly could to induce her to give
up her lover, but failing she resort-ed—
as mothers have dotie before—
to deception and other contemptible
means to break off the engagement,
Letters were intercepted, handwrit-ing
Imitated, servants bribed aud
lalsehoodseireiilnted promiscuously.
The natural and inevitable result
was that a misunderstanding arose
between the betrothed for which
neither in reality was responsible.
One day the lawyer received a note
written in the handwriting of his
fiancee, accompanied by a packet of
letters and a box of trinkets. Tbe
note stated that the writer had, up-on
careful consideration aud
thought, decided that she did not
love bim as a woman about to be
his wife should, and for this and
other reasons begged to be released
from her engagement.
The blow was a hard one, and for
a long time, the lawyer lelt the ef-fects
acutely. Under tbe impress
ion that he bad been jilted because
be was poor and unknown, he de-termined
to become rich and fam-ous,
ami forthwith commenced his
" noble lite." How well be succeed-ed
the nation knows, for in 184- he
was made Secretary of State, Min-ister
lo England, and a few years
later was elected President of the
United States.
Meanwhile his lirst love married
a very rich merchant of Philadle-phia,
much against her own will
and only at the earnest and repeat-ed
solicitations of her mother. The
marriage was not a happy ouo, for
the wife neither loved nor respected
her husband. Her cup of bitter-ness
was full when she heard ofthe
election of her lover as President,
and her mother's cup was quite
overflowing. She plunged into so-cial
dissipation in the hope of for-getting
her sorrows. For two or
tluee seasons she was the talk of
tbe Quaker City, where she went to
reside with her husband, and where
their first child was born. Her en-tertainments
were of unusual ele-gance,
her costumes marvels of rich-ness
and beauty, and her equipage
the finest ever seen on Walnut
street.
By and by scandal circulated
about her. Mrs. Orundy said she
neglected her family, and slander-ous
accused her of transferring her
affections to a gentleman who is now
United Slates Minister at a Euro-pean
city. On" by one her friends
fell off,"ami ultimately she was
snubbed most directly and repeated-ly.
She left her husbaud'a and went
home to her mother iu Baltimore,
where in a lew months she died of
consumption, brought on by ex-cessive
and protracted dissipation.
Her cruel and unnatural mother
never ceased to berate and upbraid
her for not marrying the lawyer,
when she herself, by intercepting
and forging letters, broke off the
match. Her last hours were spent
in religious exercise, and it is relat-ed
that she wrote to her true and
faithful lover who when she dietl
was an Ex President, James Buch-anan,
asking forgiveness, and stat-ing
that she bad never ceased to ,
love him with all her heait and soul.
This most romantic story is vouch-ed
for by reliable patties as true in
every particular, although for obvi
ous reasons all the usmm are omit
