Elihu Burritt, Esq., European Agent If. C. Land Co.: 
Dear Sin:—It affords me pleasure to state, in reply to 
your inquiry, that the officers and members of the North 
Carolina Land Company are well known to me, and that I 
regard them as in every respect reliable. Anj' statement or 
assurance they may make will he carried out in good taitli. 
Wishing you great success in your efforts to attract immigra¬ 
tion to the State, 
I am truly yours, 
W. W. HOLDEN, Governor. 
Mis. EditorDear Sir.:—The. following is a specimen of 
what Farmers and men of small means can make on the 
Farms we offer for sale. The great.advantage this Slate lias 
over the Northern, Eastern, ami Western States, is its close 
proximity to the Seaport Towns, and the climate being so 
mild, that plowing and all kinds-.of Farm and Mechanical 
work can lie done on any day in the year; whereas, at the 
North, all lias to be done within live or six months, and what 
is made in that time, is consumed hy the families and stock 
during the cold months. 
Mho, w<‘ will ask, would remain in suclx a 
frigid and icebound land, when a paradise is 
open to them, as is now offered by this Com¬ 
pany. 
The following was clipped from the Raleigh Daily Sen¬ 
tinel, of February 2d, 1S70, which we know to lie correct, as 
it was doiic within six and a half miles of this City: 
Mr. Archibald aiid his two little sons, who made, last year, 
9 bales of cotton and 110 barrels of corn, besides peas, pota¬ 
toes, &c„ and asked who could heat it ? 
The inquiry lias lead to the discovery of the individual, in 
the person of.Capt. W. E. Pierce, of Ramsgate (commonly 
called Kamcat) district, in Wake County. 
Capt. Pierce, with two horses worked hy white labor, 
made, 
21 bales Cotton average 425 IDs.—8923 at 22f<e.82,008 VI

lVc ask again, and in reference to this,, who can heat it? 
Now, my dear sir, we ask where are your farmers, North, 
East, or West, that can make their farms, that they boast of 
being worth from $100 to $250 per acre, pay like above. We 
will sell you or any of your friends from 100 to 200 farms, 
equally as good, at from $5 to $20 per acre,' with good build¬

PRATT’S “ASTRAL” 
Oil, WILL NOT EXPLODE. 
Read the following: 
New York, Dec. 3, 1809. 
Mr. Ciias. Pratt. 108 Fulton St„ New York: 
Dear Sir .’—I wish to add my testimony to tlie good qttali- 
iliesof the “Astral” Oil, as seen ill the following. A few 
nights ago at my residence in Clifton, N. J., the servant girl 
accidentally knocked over a lighted lamp filled with your 
"Astral” Oil. The lamp fell to the floor and was instantly 
broken! scattering the contents over the carpet. The wick, 
which was still burning, fell into the oil, hut did not ignite it, 
and was picked up and blown out, without causing any dam¬ 
age, further than the loss.of tile lamp. I have been hunting 
your “Astral” Oil for a number of months, and ant highly 
pleased with it. I consider it perfectly safe, and would use 
no other. 
Yours, very truly, Charles D. Spencer, 
II. B. Chitlin & Co., 140 Church St., New York.

DOWNING’S FRUITS AND FRUIT TREES OF 
AMERICA. 
By A. .1. Downing. Newly Revised and Greatly En¬ 
larged by Ciias. Downing. 8 vo„ 1122 pages. Price $7.50. 
Tile original Work of the late A.J. Downing appeared in 
1845. Some years after it was revised and much enlarged by 
his brother, Charles Downing, who has again completed the 
work of a second revision. Charles Downing is upon all 
lituids acknowledged as one of our highest pomological 
authorities.- He writes but seldom, hut whatever hears his 
name is accepted as the judgment of one who is entirely dis¬ 
interested, as far as the commercial aspects of pomology are 
concerned. The present edition contains the results of many 
years labor and experience which have been devoted to 
testing the value of fruits, and acquiring a knowledge of 
them that should benefit others. When we compare this 
edition with the modest one which first appeared, we can see 
to what extent tlie subject lias grown. If only a small pro¬ 
portion of the new-varieties that have: been added prove 
valuable, we shell have reason to be proud of our progress. 
This elegant and valuable work will be an indispensable 
requisite to every library, and to all interested in Fruits or 
Fruit Culture. 
AGRICULTURAL QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITA¬ 
TIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. 
Alter E. Wolff, Fresenius, Krocker, and others. Edited by 
Pi of. <i. C. Caldwell, of Cornell University. Price $2.00. 
In this work Professor Caldwell lias brought together.tlic 
processes of analysis which apply especially to soils, fertil¬ 
izers, animals and plants, and their products. He has tested 
tile methods of the best foreign authorities,-and presented 
them in a compact hand-book. Such a work lias long been 
needed by all who teach agricultural chemistry, and by 
analytical chemists generally. Professor Caldwell modestly 
calls himself the editor, but liis book shows' that he has not 
contented himself with editing the works of others, but lias 
given much of his own experience. 
HOW CROPS GROW. 
A Treatise on the Chemical Composition, Structure, and 
Life of tlie Plant. With numerous illustrations and tables 
of analyses. By Prof. Samuel W . .Holmson, of 
Yale College. Price $2.00. 
This hook is a guide to the knowledge of agl'icultnYal 
plants, their composition, their structure, and modes of de¬ 
velopment and'growth; of the complex organization of 
plants, and the uses of the parts, the germination of seeds 
and the food of plants, obtained both from Hie air and the 
soil. Very full and accurate tables of analyses arc given, 
and tables of the proportions existing between different 
principles, oily, starchy, or nitrogenous, in tlie same and 
different plants. .The hook is an invaluable one to all real 
students of agriculture. 
AMERICAN CATTLE : 
Their History, Breeding, and Management. Illustrated 
By Lewis F. Alien. Price $2.50. 
This book will be considered indispensable by every 
breeder of live-stock. The large ‘experience of the author 
in improving the character of American herds adds to the 
weight of liis observations, and lias enabled him to produce 
a work which will at once make good , its claims as a stand¬ 
ard authority on the subject. An excellent feature of the 
volume is its orderly, methodical arrangement, condensing 
a great variety of information into a comparatively small 
compass, and enabling the reader to find the point on which 
he is seeking lie-lit, without wasting his time in turning over 
the leaves. •
