Mr. Stovall, a respectable citizen of

last, by cutting their throats, and, after cutting
his own throat, leaped into a deep
spring, where his body was found.

think it probable, from what we have learned,
that the total population of the State
will foot up about 1,000,000. Nearly all
the counties will show a considerable increase
of population. Wake county will
reach about 30,000, showing an increase
of 6000, while Lenoir, Warren, Henderson,
and many other counties, will show a
large increase over 1S50.
It is said that the cotton crop of
North Carolina will be larger this year than
ever before, although the drought at one
time and the rain now will measurably
shorten it. The Washington (N. C.) Dispatch
says: "Enough has resulted' from
the experiments of a few years past, to
settle it as a "fixed fact," that North Carolina
henceforth may be set down as a cotton
State. The soil and climate of a large
portion of the State render the cotton crop
the most productive.
We learn with much regret of the
loss by fire, on Sunday night last, of the
valuable Mills of W. J. Cureton Esq., on

or five hundred bushels of wheat, besides
some corn and a considerable quantity of
flour, were consumed with the Mill. The
Mill had not been in operation since Saturday,
and there had been no fire on the
premises for weeks These and other circumstances
have given rise to the belief
that the fire was the work of an incendiary.?Lancaster

G. W. Kendall writes under date
of September, 13th, from his Texas sheep
farm to the N. Orleans Picayune: "If any
of our readers, or any of my victims, wish
to know how this particular section of Texas
looks just now, let me say that all parts
of the face of the earth we can see, is as
green as a wheat field; that all our stock?
horses, cattle and sheep?are fairly rolling
in fat; that we shall have an abundance of
sweet potatoes; that cotton is growing
finely; that our fall gardens give excclleui
promise ; and that at the present writing,
i. a genial shower is falling."
Royalty is on the move in Europe, i
Qaeen Victoria has gone to Germany.?
Napoleon and Eugenie are touring.to their
Southern dominions. Leopold, of Belgium,
is visiting, his loyal towns. Isabella Segunda,
as becomes a progressive sovereign,
is making a progress. The Russian Czar,
the Austrian Kaiser, and the Prussian Regent
are to meet at Warsaw soon, and will
be waited on by a small army of petty kings
and grand dukes, and princelets. Victor
Emmanuel is going to Naples. The Prince
of Wales is travelling over tne unuea|
States. Not to be out of the fashion, King
Bomba II., late of Naples, has also taken a
hurried journey, and is expected soon to be
in SpaiD.
.v.... We learn says the Charleston Mercury
of the 8th \nst., that on last Saturday
night an elopement took place at Ridge*
ville, on the line of the South Carolina
Railroad, about thirty-one miles frotn Charleston,
.under very singular circumstances.
The parties were a widower and the wife j
of a highly-esteemed citizen of Ridgeville,

The widower has abandoned six youug
children, and the partner in his guilt leaves
three, one of whom is an infaut. The
faithless wife left for her husband a short
note, in which she rather cavalierly notifies
him of her intentions, and consigns her
children to his care. The affair has caused
a deal of excitement in the neighborhood
where it occurred.
Garibaldi washes his own shirts when
occasion requires. After the battle of Melazzo,
finding his shirt dirty and soiled from
his personal stuggles, he took it off, washed
it in the brook hard by, and huDg it up on
the bushes, ate his lunch of bread, fruit
and water, smoked his cigar bare-backed,
and, wrapt in thought, sat apparently contemplating
the dryingof his garment; thus
in thefieid or bivouac, shariug danger and
hardship with the humblest of his followers.
Directly his shirt was dry, he weDt
on board the Tukeri, formerly Veloce, lying
in the bay on the western side of the
peninsula, and personally directed her fire
on the fortress aDd retiring masses.
In answer to a query from a correspondent,
the Chicago Journal says that
"Artcmus Ward," whose humorous writings
are known in the daily papers, is Mr
Brown, the Local Editor of the Cleveland
Plaindealer. "Artemas Ward, the show
man," is a name assumed by him, though
there is really a man by that Dame, and a
regular genius in the Show business, who
exhibits wax figures "and secb," and makes
a great deal of fuD, down in Indiana.?

like a fuuDy man at all, beiDg "on the contrary
quite the reverse," but that he is a
funny man none will doubt who have read
his queer "Artemus Ward" letters.
A good story is related of a conductor
on a railroad, who was a strict churchgoing
roan, and was always found promptly
in his church on the Sabbath. One Saturday
evening his train was in very late,
and he did not take his customary amount
of sleep, which, however, did not prevent
his attending divine service as usual. During
the sermon he unwittingly fell into a
profound sleep, soothed by the monotonous
voice of the clergyman. All at once he
sprang from his seat, thrust his hat under
his arm, and giving his neighbor in front
a push, shouted, "Ticket, sir!" The
startled neighbor also sprang to his feet,
which thoroughly aroused the conductor,
who, looking mildly around, and seeing all
eyes turned ?oward him, instantly comprehended
his position, and "slid," amid a suppressed
titter from the whole congregation.

ITALY IIV TRANSITION.
Since the Franco-Sardinian war last year, in pD.e
crit
which Sardinia came out in many respects tnumphant,
Italy has been in a state of transition
from a group of distracted, badly-governed, petty
little despotisms, to a confederacy of States,
somewhat similar to ours, possessing State and
federal constitutional governments. Garibaldi . (
is the hero of this united Italy; and Piedmont ^
with Victor Emmanuel as king, and count Cavour
minister of State, is the neucleus of the wished- ~
for Italian confederacy. While count Cavour
are
carefully adumbrates the forbearance of Aus- ^
tria and the connivance of France and the other
leading Powers of Europe; Garibaldi, by a series
of brilliant and startling movements which have k
me
opened the eyes of the whole civilized world
upon himself, has carried on the revolution.?
He has conquered the Two Sicilies; he is now 1
for
ready to invade Rome; and the Pope is preparing
to fly his dominions, and seek refuge in Aus- pei
tria or Spain. YA
Count Cavour, though we doubt not be is an
ardent patriot and wise statesman, is the power J
in Sardinia that keeps in check this popular re- ftn(
volution. He has respect to existing treaties, jev
"balance of power" ideas and international law by
and jealousy ; while "the great reformer," Gari- p?'
baldi, relying on the hold which non-interven- asl
tion principles have upon the European powers, fac
| and on the patriotism of the Italians, goes on ?*
"conquering and to conquer" in the cause of 1
Italian unity. It has even been stated, and though ing
denied re-affirmed, that Garibaldi has addressed ^or
a letter to Victor Emmanuel "demanding the immediate
dismissal of Carour and Farini" from tat
the Sardinian ministry, and "thirty thousand "it
Sardinian soldiers to garrison Xaples." These
demands at the latest advices were to be laid by co]
the Ministry before thePiedmontese Parliament, rat
The Ministry oppose them. Emmanuel in com- enl
menting upon them says that he "cannot com- jg
ply with such strange pretensions from a man am
whose successes seem to mislead him."
Nevertheless, what has Sardinia done ? She poi
has plunged into the waves of the revolution, cul
with the torch of freedom in her teeth ; and must sta
buffet every breaker to carry its fierce light to
through the darkening storm, or incur the peril jevt
of being dashed to pieces if she strives to regain me
the shore. Emmanuel has said that he can no has
longer control the popular movement, and that wit
he must head it or be crushed to pieces. In las
strict accord with this, Piedmont has drawn the i?c
sword. The grounds for this action are the a 1
oppressive misrule which is the order of the ap|
day in the Pope's Professions, and the presence she
therein of hireling foreign bands of marauders, spe
chiefly Irish, who would sack a town for its rife
pluuder, designed to keep down popular demon- lan
strations. The excuse is that by heading the tha
revolution and conquering the Romish provinces, sea
Emmanuel cau then check its progress towards gar
Venice, and therefore prevent another imbroglio ^
with Austria. Yet, seventy-four Austrian ves- era
sels, mounting 900 guns, have been ordered to
rendezvous in the Adriatic ; and Austria declares doe
that she feels free, whenever it suits her, to at- twe
tack the revolution. inv
The proximate cause of. Piedmont's engaging tho
in the struggle at this time, is the uprising of the
several little towns in the north of the Pope's | hat
Possessions. Sardinia, then, in the present war i kee
?for it is likely to be a war before it is done get
with?stands pledged to aid the people in the to <
expression of their wishss to resist the oppres- a g
sion of the Popish government, and to combat j
I the tendencies of the revolution to invade its
j the Austrian power in Venice. To these ends ha]
her king has sent into the States of the evi
| Church an army of 50,000 men; who under gai
Cialdini have already fought the successful die
[ fields of Pessara and Fidaldo, beleagured Anco- pr<
! na with the aid of the Neapolitan fleet, and de- get
| molished the papal power in almost every place 7.ei
except the seven hilled city. thi
The final success of this revolution in effect- of
ing the union of Italy, after all the brilliant a wl
chieveraeuts of Garibaldi, depends, we opine, of
entirely on the power which Emmanuel may ly

| constantly accelerating impetus. There is n | of
I point beyond which Austria will not endure; lit
: and that point is an actual or probable attack 'hi
upon Venice. Auother imbroglio with her might esl
lose all. It is an anxious hour for the far-and- wt
wide-seeing Italian patriot. Liberty is just sh
within her grasp. Will she by one rash step fe<
bring on another war, and thereby lose all ?? thi
| Will the "living waters" of hope and "the gold- se
en frui"*" of fruition, recede as the waves and pr
branches did from the hungering and thirsting ri(
lips of Tantalus? Will she, to grasp the shadow a
of Venice, let fall from her mouth the substance tu
of an Italian Confederacy? It is an anxious mo
ment, we say, for the liberties of Italy, the peace
of Europe, and in some degree the prosperity of co
the world. To show how we of the South even K>

events, the announcement in Loudon of the sim- wj

| THE BROGAN MOVEMENT. ^
An enquiry made in a recent number of the u]
Southern Guardian, whether 'negro shoes of 01
Caroliua make could be had anywhere in Col
j umbia,'together with other advertising influ fl(
ences, has developed the grateful fact that more si
than one, perhaps between two and three hun P'
at
' I dred thousand pairs of brogans are made yearly |e
in South Carolina. The largest Factory we to
' have heard of, Mr. Lyuch's of Cheraw, turns out
one hundred pairs per day, and is patronized by jj
' planters in various parts of the State. The ijj
' next largest belongs to Mr. Allen of Camden, te
who now puts in the "Florida, Alabama, Mis- 'lf
nt
sissippi and Arkansas market "upwards of g(
15,000 pairs annually;" and is making arrange- fo
inents hereafter to manufacture 50,000 pairs per "J
annum, to meet the demand which the populari ^
ty of his shoes has created on the plantations of ch
the west. We could place our finger on per be
haps more than a dozen "shops," in the upper ^
districts, which manufacture each from 500 to w|
5000 pairs of negro shoes annually. be
heBe shoes commonly cost from twenty fiv
fty cents per pair more than Yankee bro
s; while for actual service they are reall;
th perhaps one half more. The best mad
kee shoe will scarcely last a negro fellow
aged actively upon the farm in rain and sun
and snow, during the severity of the wintei
i home-made brogan will not only do this
, if at all taken care of, will serve the negr
nd turn on logrolling occasions, when plough

isions when he needs a shoe throughout th
tie year. If we simply take into considers
t the length of time the shoe lasts, the hom
le is the cheapest; but there are other fact
thy of note. The Southern shoe?for th
pie reason that it is stouter?protects th
: from rain and cold better; and, therefor
. better guardian of the negroe's health an

is, than in any other part of the body. The

)ver and above all these facts stands tl
r present and ever-pressing need of moi
ithern independence, appealing like the sla
g cry of a beloved mother to the patriot.i
200,000 pairs of brogans are made annual
South Carolina. That would be upwards
) pairs per day; to make which would requi

1 are often marked higher."
fhese items come from the pen of a corre
ident to the New Hampshire Journal of Ag\
lure; nnd may be regarded as a truthf
tement of the case. It is a little humiliatii
the Southerner to think that this spurio
retry ? iuio nuicuicoo //?ctu?yr ui vuw uun
tals with a specious gloss on the outsidei
given a greater impetus to the book-tra<
h us than almost any thing else within tl
t few years. We would be glad to see th
reased demand for books, if it really indicati
corresponding improvement of the readii
jetite of our people; but unfortunately
ws no such thing. It marks the desire fi
culatiou and empty show which is only ti
! among the young men and women of o
d. This is proven by the fact in many case
t the buyer of the books does not wish at
rcely expects ever to read it, but is simp
obling for the jewelry.
?he books, too, are gotten up usually in mi
ble style ; and while the proprietors of Gil
)k Enterprises propose to give, the purchasi
ible "value received," he often makes one i
> hundred per cent., perhaps, on the capit
ested. We have no doubt hundreds ai
usands of our young folks have been bit 1
ir bargains. Indeed, we have seen boys wl
i lain in a pretty heavy stock of these "Ya:
! notions," actually have a mock auction
rid of them. The whole affair from beginnii
end is a cheat, a swindle, that is supported
;reat exteut by Southern gullibility.
r\gain, if we look at this "bogus jewelry"
bearings upon the security, harmony ai
ppiness of Southern society, it is equally
1. It cultivates a taste and tendency f
mbling and other immoral speculation. Pe
srs find it no inconsiderable source of the

is as a public nuisance. They certainly,

the backbone of the country. These meu jui
feel that they have claims to the custom

ese latter, then, has a direct tendency

ould be bound together by ties of social gc

oughts further; but we have said enough
t each reader to thinking for himself ; and <
pc the result will be an abandonment of t
actice, if ever followed, of selling his biri
rht of common-sense for the poor pottage
"Yankee notion" that thrives only as a "pri
sal joke" upon our gullibility.
The editor of the Southern Christian /

'y Maj. McKenzie with bis usual kindness and
punotuallity, has handed us his report of wind,
s" rain, temperature, &c., for the month of September.
The clear time during the month amounter
ed to 19J days; the cloudy, to 10jJ days. It rained
or 4.96 inches in 29J hours?1.04 inches more than
al during August. On the warmest day, Sunday
,(1 9th, the thermometer stood at 94? ; and 48? was
3y its height on the morning of the 14th and 15tb,
30 when it was coldest. The wind was in all directions
; but the greatest quantity of rain fell,
fn ?QantK Poof Afnrp than half
ww wucu It n aa iu iui; uuum v
Jg the rain of the month fell daring one day and
io night, and then r.he thermometer stood at G8?.
There was no frost, he thinks, during the month,
as has been said ; because 48??the lowest point
at which the mercury stood?is not cold enough,
aD he thinks, to produce frost.
or Anniversary Celebration.
^ The 80th anniversary of the battle of King's
iir Mountain, fought within two miles of the North
re Carolina line on the 7th October, 1780, occurred
ll* on last Sunday. This was one of the most sig
^ nal and important victories of the Revolution.
ut As the day oocurred on Sunday, the Cadets of
the King's Mountain Military School comraerara
orated the glorious event on Friday, by a joint
parade with the Jasper Light Infantry, a pic-nic,
and a ball at night. The parade was equal to
,se anything we have seen heretofore from the two
)0' companies in battalion; and was witnessed by
t0 a large crowd of admiring ladies and gentlemen.
to Indeed, we have never before seen a company
nc* so well drilled at. the Cadets ; and the Jaspers
' are rapidly approximating them in precision,
0(^ dexterity, and harmony of movement.
59e Maj. M. Jenxins, Captain of the Jasper Light
fO T.fcniTO sntar) no TVToin?? r>f thp Rftttallinn ?
Cnpt. A. Coward formed the two companies
th- into battalion?dividing them into four coropanies,
with the Cadets under Lieutenants J. M.
1C Schnikrle and 0. A. Seabrook ; and the Jaspers
under Lieuts. W. B. Metts and I. N. Within
er8. We can say of this corps of officers that
re they are an honor to the spirited and gallant
companies which they represent.
Ct8 After the morning drill, the pic-nic, which
rs< was altogether creditable to the occasion, was
di discussed amid seemingly endless good-feeling
'r' and hearty pleasure. There were no long dry
Jn toasts and set speeches thrown off eztemporanend
ously with "malice aforethought" to make it a
n'j "state occasion," and mar the joyous festivities.
rae Wm. Henry Trescot, Esq., had been elected as
sn, orator of the day ; but his appointment to the
^rs post of Assistant Secretary of State, prevented
e9' him from complying : so had Lieutenant J. P.
t0 Thomas, of the Citadel at Charleston ; but sicking
ness at the time induced him to decline?when
noj it became too late to supply an orator for the
nd
ncj occasion.
After the pic-nic, the spectators were favored
by the two companies with another parade?the
r a
jet Skirmishing Drill, designed for the most stirring
'ou and eventful phases of a battle, a most beautiful
and animated performance, that always
lb. thrills us with martial pride and joy. This
)n Drill is something new in this part of the coun'n
try ; and would pay any man who has a taste for
such thiDgs?and who would not love this Drill ?
m ?for a ride of a dozen miles to see it.
108 The party and supper at Dight were a decided
lfts and happy success?two conversation rooms
lr_ being set apart fcr those who did not "hop,"
m and other two for those who heeded the call,
"Now to the rosy mazes of the dance."
Pe These rooms were tastefully decorated with
au| cedar festoons, wreaths, &cM supported by bayloneted
muskets, or having sheathed swords

aashed to them, in comeliest military style. Ot
the walls of each room, in "cedar-spray" let
ters were the thrilling words, Battle of King'
Mountain, October 1th, 1780 ; and over the man
tela?one in each room?in a wreatn or ceua
decorated with two crossed swords pendant a
the bottom of the wreath, were the proud namei
of the heroes of the "well foughten field."?
How thrilling the thoughts, these stirring sym
both sent through the brain and heart!
The Cadets deserve the thanks of this com
munity for this well timed and most pleasantb
transpiring military festival. We cannot closi
this notice, however, without specially com
mending Lieut. Schnierle?their "head an<
front" in the matter?for the active and zealou
part which he took in contributing to the enjoy
ment of every one, and especially the ladies.?
He won, we doubt not, by his gentlemanly con
duct, in many hearts a golden place.
CONTRIBUTORIAL.
Fall Drew.
To-morrow, the 12th, a grand ball is to b<
given to the Prince of Wales in New York. Th<
canons of fashion are given forth for the occa
sion. The arbitri elegantiarum have spoken up
on the item of Ball Costume. One of our read
ers in forty may be curious to know somethinj
in general of this matter. For that onein-fortj
we give the main items of gentleman's dress :?
Coat?black dress; skirt extending to thi
knee and very narrow ; sleeves full, tapering
and cuffless; lapels broad; buttons small.?
Pantaloons?black, plain, straight and half large
Vest?plain, roll-collar, of black silk. Glovesstraw
color of the lightest tint, or pure white
Shirt collar?short, standing. Cravat?narrow
white. Shoes?pump-soled, low quarters, witl
black silk stockings ; or pump-soled boots?tb<
latter preferable for the Prince Ball.
There! We hope our One-in-Forty is full;
satisfied.
The style for ladies is detailed with evei
greater particularity; but we modestly declin
to pursue such a delicate subject. It bewilder
us. We beg to refer our lady readers, wh
would like to see "all about it," to the Com
mission des Modes itself?the highest authorit;
on fashion in the world. One item, however
mentioned by Genio Scott, in this same connec
tion, struck us as quotable. Speaking of extras
ne remarks : "I'oint lace snawis, irom six t
twelve hundred dollars each, are, by some, pre
ferred to the bal sortie." We marvel.
But in general just now, we suggest, whoeve
wishes to be quite fashionable?e.ltgant d I
mort?has only to wear everything d la Princ
of Wales. He must get a Prince, of Wales hat
coat, cane, boots, neck-tie; use Prince of Wale
tobacco, cigars, soap, and tooth brush; hav
Prince of Wales paper, envelopes, pens, an
seals; must "do things" d la Prince of Wales
dancing especially?not forgetting to fall dowi
and pull the lady down on top of him ;?mus
shave, walk, talk, sleep, and play the fool gen
erally, all d la Prince of Wales.
We hope, in our own behalf, that the boy wil
soon be taken back to his grammar school, an
let America get some other wonder to gape an
stare at.
The Agricultural Fair.
The fifth annual Fair of the State Agricultur
al Society is to open on Tuesday the 13th of No
vember, to contiuue four days. Preparation
are already in progress. Everything promise
largely. The crowd will doubtless be unprece
dented. Among the articles to be on exhibitio
the greatest novelty probably will be a steal
plough?the first, we believe, ever exhibited i;
the South.
The annual address is to be delivered on th
14th, by Henry W. Ravenel, Esq., of Aiken.
The hotebcapacity of Columbia will be suf
ficient for the jam. Committess already hav
the matter in hand, and they will doubtless mak
"Ample room and verge enough"
for everybody and everybody's folks. We ac
cordingly hope to see everybody on that occa
sion.

Late advices by the overland California mail so
state that the suspected incendiaries are leaving lu
Northern Texas in large numbers. About 300
wagons belonging to this class are now strung >z
along the road northerly of Red River. Their v<
destination is supposed to be Kansas or Missou- Y
ri. An Abolitionist of English birth, a n<
jouDg ieuow empioyeu uy uie lexas clique,
went through New Orleans recently and over R

Osman Dey, and Mustapha Bey, who betrayed
the Christians at Haskeya, and Osman Bey, who d
commanded the troops during the massacres, C
were shot at Damascus on the 8th. Miss

that she was no better than she ought to be. p

to Great Britain week before last footed up the
enormous sum of $1,265,000?being the heaviest

An American traveller ran a large invoice of

j Glasgow, situated on the river Clyde in t
s Scotland, was built up from a mere hamlet to
. its present size containing 334,000 inhabitants, j
. by the Virginia tobacco-trade. The house of \
. Frazer, Trenholm & Co., of Charleston and Liv- t
erpool, have just set on foot a movement which t
will, we hope, ultimately redound to the greatly
increased size and importance of both that city t
and Charleston. They have just established a t
line of packets which will ply between these 3
> cities; and it is thought that the comparative
> freedom from fog and ice along the route to be fj
. traversed, together with other advantages, will t
. enable this line to compete most successfully i:
. with New York commerce. The Glasgow Cou- p
r rier of a recent date, contains an article from p
r Mr. J. D. Dougall, who speaks well of this en- i;
. terprise; and, in calling the attention of ship 3
2 owners and merchants to it, advises steam to be E
, placed upon the route?so important does he y
- deem it for Glasgow to have this direct connec.
tion with 'the great and rich states to which t
- Charleston is a natural outlet.' The unmistake- t
. ably onward movements which have this sum- a
, mer been made by the frieuds of direct trade,
3 tend to enkindle a sympathetic hope and ardor f
? for the cause of Southern independence. j

BETHEL PRESBYTERY.
The late meeting of this body, held at Grindal
Shoals on the 5th and 6th instant, will be long
remembered by those who were privileged to
attend. The over-hanging clouds and contin- |
uous rains under which the greater number of i
us left our homes, the muddy roads, long distance ,
and swollen streams, are facts not soon to be <
forgotten. So, too, the cordial groeting receiv- I
ed from that noble flock and hospitable com- i
' munity around the newly organized church, the <
- pleasant sojourn there, and the interesting ]
8 meeting of the Presbytery, constitute u an oo i
8 caaion to be cherished with delight for many (
- long years to come. e
d The opening Sermon was preached by the (
d Moderator, Rev. W. T. Hall. Twenty eight t
Q members were present?more than half Elders. 1
Rev. J. H. Saye was elected Moderator, and W. t
e T. Hall, Clerk. Rev. John S. Harris, preached r
the Doctrinal Sermon on the "Perseverance of 1
' the Saints and Rev. A. A. James was elected e
his successor to preach on the theme, "For s
e whom Christ Died ?" Rev. John S. Harris and 1
Robert S. Hope, Esq.?with Rev. D. Harrison 1

re recorded our sincerest benedictions, and exressed
our bright anticipations of its future
rosperous career. It is a monument of what a ^ai
mall band of Christians?mostly women, aided
y gentlemen of intelligence and high-toned Oh
rinciples?can accomplish by the blessing of To
lod. This is a church of but one year's stand- Cei
ng and fourteen members ; yet it enjoys the Th
isstoral services of one of our best preachers,
ar half the time. Surely, here is a rebuke to
ome of our large churches?having twenty fold

CROPS IS ARKANSAS.
Meters. Editors : I see a few lines in your pa ^
per of the 27th September, taken from the Little
Rock Gazette, stating that starvation stares the ^
A.rkansians in the face; which statement I am
impelled to think is incorrect. I returned a
"ew weeks since from visiting a portion of that
State; and I am happy to say that I found the Re
:rops generally good. I traveled down White
River, and thence along the military road on the
lorth side of the Arkansas River. I found the _
Re
:rops very good ; and I was informed by farmjrs
that the yield would be as large as usual.?
3n the Cadron and Point Remove creeks, and
>ther water courses, also along the upland val- Ar
ies, farmers will certainly make more than "one
hird of a good crop." When I reached the Illi- Ar
iois bayou, I found the crops somewhat injured
)y the drouth. Thence I traveled to Van Buren
?crops about the same. Across on the south
iilfi of the Arkansas river, in Sebastian and *^r
franklin counties, the crops were very light.?
Chis was owing, I suppose, to the slate being
'ery near the surface of the earth, which has a
endency during a short drouth to "fire" the
:orn. A drouth of two weeks in that State is
nore injurious to crops, than one of four weeks
n South Carolina. The bottom lands lying aong
the river are generally planted in cotton
,nd the yield will be abundant?from 1500 to
!000 lbs per acre ; and the uplands will yield TC
ibout 800 lbs. per acre. The corn crop will wh
'ield 20, 25, 30, and some lands 40 bushels per J??
icre. The mast crop is quite abundant?a suffilient
quantity to fatten their hogs ; and prairies ?
ire waving with grass for their stock of cattle. ~
)o you call that starvation ? I would like to O
mow where we are to get our supplies? It will CC
lot be in South Carolina, Georgia or Mississipii,
if the crops are in accordance with what I ^
aw "at a glance" along the Railroad. A bum- spi
bee oan almost sit on the ground and suck
top blossom of the cotton; and as for corn,
k none that I would call corn.

Roman Eye Balsam?poe inflamed Eyelids.
rhe delicate structure of the eyelid renders it
culiarly sensitive and liable to disease. When
>m any cause it becomes affeoted, the inner
imbrane rapidly inflames and the eyelid
inces the strongest disposition to attach to
elf humors from all parts of the body. Huucds
of persons of scrofulous habit are disfigurby
a rawness or redness of the eyelids, com>nly
called sore eyes, and are tortured with
prehension of impaired vision, who by using
is Balsam may obtain almost immediate ref.
In all cases the earlier the remedy is aped
the better.
