The following lines upon a neat tombstone in the grave yard of the Presbyterian church at Asheville, furnish for us the sketch of his life :
"In memory of James Patton, born Feb. 13, 1756, in County Derry, Ireland. Died at Asheville, N. C., 9th Sept., 1845, in the 90th year of his age. He was the founder of his family in America; an honest and per- severing man ; accumula ing much property, without grinding the poor; prudently assisting his poor rela- tions, as well as bringing forward in the world many deserving young men."
JAMES GUDGER and GEORGE JONES are old and highly respectable citizens and heads of large families ; both of whom will soon pay the debt of nature.
Col. JOHN PATTON, of Swannanoa, who died some

twenty years since, at his residence, within two miles of Asheville, was a man suited to the times-strong, active, and vigorous in body and mind, full of quick and generous impulses, enterprising, industrious, and public spirited. His influence was felt for good in the com- munity. His children were numerous and worthy their sire, several of whom are still living, and are now the heads of large and respectable families.
JOHN WOODFIN, Esq., of Mills's River, the father of N. W. and J. W. Woodfin, Esqs., of Asheville, is now living, and the picture of health at a very old age. Simple diet, regular habits, the inhalation of pure moun- tain air, the use of crystal waters, with constant manual labor and out-door exercise, have all combined to pro- long his days.
Col. JOHN MILLER, who was Clerk of the Court of Bun- combe for nearly a lifetime, was a citizen of French Broad, now Henderson County, and was an enterprising as well as a very popular man with the people. In his public and private capacity his character was unim- peached. He died, lamented, some twelve years since.
CAPT. THOMAS CASE, who died in 1849, in his 82d year, may be mentioned as one of that class of men who lived longer, easier, harder, and healthier, and left more descendants than perhaps any other one man among all the old settlers. His home was the mountain, his field the forest, his support his gun, "old Ned and corn- bread " his diet ; none of this world's goods and a clear conscience gave him a cheerful spirit, which, in his "moccasins," "leather breeches," and " hunting-shirt," always exhibited itself. Ilis banner was a " deer- skin," his luxury a fiddle ; so that he went on his way through life rejoicing. Dyspepsia, hysterics, pneumo-

nia, bronchitis, and the gout never knew where to find his dwelling. He could joyfully sing
" No foot of land do I possess," etc.
In his old age he joined the Baptist Church, was bap- tized, and died in peace with the world and his Maker.
DR. MITCHELL .- The publisher could not consistently close this volume, without making reference to one whose identity with the State revealed so many excel- lences, and he here appends what he prepared in 1857 for a different publication. He named the falls where Dr. M. lost his life " Mitchell's Falls," and by this name they will be handed down to posterity. These falls are forty-four feet in height, and the pool below fourteen in depth.
Memorial.
The Rev. Elisha Mitchell, D.D., was born in Wash- ington, Litchfield County, Connecticut, August 19, 1793 -graduated at Yale College, in 1815-appointed Pro- fessor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in the University of North Carolina, in 1817-married in 1819 -- ordained by the Presbytery of Orange, in 1821- transferred to the Professorship of Chemistry, Mineral- ogy, and Geology, in 1825-honored with the Doctor- ship in Divinity, by the University of Alabama, in 1840 -appointed Bursar of the University of North Carolina, in 1835, and died June 27th, 1857.
By measurement, Dr. Mitchell established the fact, in 1835 and 1844, that the " Black " was the highest moun- tain in the United States, east of the Rocky Mountains, being 6,672 feet above the level of the sea, and 244 feet higher than Mount Washington, New Hampshire. The
112

highest point on the "Black" is called "Mitchell's -
Peak."
In furthering his researches on this mountain in June, 1857, and after making various surveys, he attempted to go down to Yancy County by himself (and was on the same track which led him there once before), when a rain storm and niglit overtook him, and while passing a precipice and waterfall on "Sugar Camp Creek," he lost his balance, went over the fall, and on the eleventh day after he left his son and daughter for Yancy, he was found in the limpid pool below, in a state of perfect preservation, and was, by almost superhuman exertions, carried on men's shoulders up the mountain for two miles, and then to Asheville, where he was interred, July 10th, to sleep and rise with the just at the great day. Having learned well, taught well, preached well, lived well, he " ceased to work and live," and now "he sleeps well."
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for their works do follow them."
Dr. Mitchell penned the following singularly pro- phetic words on a former visit to the Black Mountain, either in reference to the very spot where he lost his life, or to another close by :
"The ascent to the highest peak of the 'Black' was the hardest day's work I ever performed. It was over one high mountain spur, and again into a deep valley, crawling through laurels, with two barometers, one a common mountain, and the other a Gay Lussac's, in hand. And when, about noon, I passed under a high shelving rock where the ground was bestrown with clean dry leaves beneath. and a clear rushing stream close by, I could not help thinking what a comfortable place it
113-14

would be to die in. When the necessary observations had been made, at four o'clock in the evening, and we began to descend, the clouds were gathering, and soon the rain poured down in torrents. We came to a tribu- tary of Caney River, and my companions could find no better way of getting along, than that of springing from rock to rock along the channel of the stream."
On the 15th of July, 1858, the remains of Dr. Mitchell were exhumed, and on the 16th deposited on the highest peak of the Black Mountain, known by his name, where they "sleep their last sleep." Bishop Oty, of Tennessee, delivered the funeral oration, and was followed by Gov. Swain in an interesting address, in the presence of a vast and deeply affected concourse of citizens and strangers.

APPENDIX G.
I am indebted to the kindness of the Hon. Warren Winslow, of Fayetteville, N. C., for a copy of the "North Carolina Standard," of March 25th, 1857, containing the following very valuable piece of in- formation :
SPEAKERS OF THE SENATE AND OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS OF NORTH CAROLINA, FROM 1777 TO 1856-7, IN- CLUSIVE.
An intelligent and well-informed friend, who takes an interest in statistics and in historical facts, especially such as are connected with our own State, has kindly furnished us for publication with the following list of the Speakers of the two Houses of the General Assem- bly, from 1777 to the present time.
The Speakers of the two Houses, it will be observed, have been chosen for the space of eighty years from twenty-eight counties, to wit-Craven, Caswell, Chowan, Cumberland, Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Burke, Edge- combe, Greene, Guilford, Granville, Gates, Halifax, Henderson, Iredell, Lincoln, Lenoir, New Hanover, Northampton, Mecklenburg, Onslow, Orange, Rowan, Rockingham, Wake, Warren and Wilkes. It must be recollected, however, that a majority of these counties formerly contained much more territory than they do now, and that a number of new counties have been formed out of them. The longest continuous service of any of the Speakers, was that of Mr. Yancey, of Cas- well, who was Speaker of the Senate from 1817 to 1827, inclusive, eleven years. Mr. Riddick, of Gates, also
2
L
119
CHRONOLOGY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
served as Speaker of the Senate for eleven years, but not continuously for that length of time. Mr. Benbury, of Chowan, was Speaker of the House of Commons for six years ; and Mr. Cabarrus, of the same county, was Speaker of that body for the space of ten years. Cho. wan, including the service just mentioned of Mr. Ben- bury and Mr. Cabarrus, and three years of service by Mr. Iredell as Speaker of the Commons, and one year by Mr. Johnson as Speaker of the Senate, can boast of having given Speakers to the two Houses for twenty years out of the eighty years; Caswell County stands next in rank in this respect, having had Speakers for seventeen years; Gates next, eleven years; Craven next, nine years ; and Lenoir next, eight years. Caswell had the Speakers of both Houses in 1819 and 1820- Mr. Yancey of the Senate, and Mr. Sanders (now Judge), of the Commons; and Rowan also had the Speakers of both Houses in 1830 and 1831-Mr. Cald- well (now Judge), of the Senate, and Mr. Fisher (dec.), of the Commons. Chowan had both Speakers in 1789 -Mr. Johnson, of the Senate, and Mr. Cabarrus, of · the House ; and Chowan and Gates together, had the Speakers of the two Houses from 1800 to 1804, inclusive. Of the sixty-one persons who have occupied the Speak- er's chair of the two Houses since 1777, the following. we believe, only survive, to wit : John Branch, Bedford Brown, David F. Caldwell, William D. Mosely, Frede- rick Nash, Romulus M. Saunders. James Mebane, Thomas Settle, Hugh Waddell, Burgess S. Gaither, Calvin Graves, Weldon N. Edwards, Warren Winslow. W. W. Avery, William A. Graham, Edward Stanly, Robert B. Gilliam, James C. Dobbin, John Baxter, Samuel P. Hill, and Jesse G. Shepherd.
