Everything like planting weather appears in the distance, as the ground is still wet and eold,.and the atmosphere murhey. Bat little corn,is in tho ground, and that little it is thought would be better oat of it; the cold weather is said to -have injured the early, wheat, which oomes up-scattering, and the peaches are generally hilled, hereabouts. If this state of thinga continue, some of us will have no "tenth".next Fall, yet w? hope for better times?weather, too ?for there is no use in the world to gruma. . DANVILLE CONNECTION. The Charlotte Bulletin, of the 11th inst., learns that the Directors of the Statesville road let the Government have a portion of their iron to finish the above road, thus fv- shortening the distance 110 miles.

"Hermes," the Richmond correspondent of the Charleston- Mercury, says : "If Grant's anh} in .the Rapidan is only 35,000 strong?as the authorities here believe2?where is be to get 200,000 to bring against Richmond-? The answer oomes, from tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which has been stripped of two divisions, whose places are to be filled by negroes.? > - Extend this system, and the men-will be ' , obtained. , We, too, most get back oar guard* and detailed' men. Our reserves must be called out," . ' It will be seen by advertisements in our paper to-day, that the Enrolling Officer has proceeded to enrolment under the late Aot of Congress, and that but a very short time is allowed tHe "Reserves," or f'Conscripts," as they are now called. We hope a prompt response will be made to the call, but really, we-feel great fears that the troops may be called out at a time, which may prove most ruinous to otfr orqp prospects. We hope suoh may not be the ease, but that they may be kept at home until the latest period, where they may -be drilled as well by their ?nt? ntl>Ai> nnint. and with leBS vwavwiOj wa ? ? hu^ vwmv* ? expense to the Government. The backwardness of the season has been greatly ' against the farmers, so we hope onr authorities, who have the power, Vill see to it that they are not called again.to.another "wild goose chase" throughout the country. It may be that ^'details" and guard duty alone will be required; if so,, we think a liberal syBtem of furloughs should be granted,- fqr none are more deserving detail than the poor man, who has no negroes to assist him in raising bread for bis family. 'But, obme forward, enrol, and organize, gentlemen?it is your duty, and should be promptly performed, for you only Have three more days to go on. See, and read carefully the orders from the Enrolling Officer, which will be found in our paper to-day, which demands the attention of all between 17 and 50. DeBOWS REVIEW.

This unpleasant af- s rir occurred-at a place "known-as* Cherry j l-rove, in the ooanty of NansemOnd, on the. s state of Mr. Kichard H.'Hiddick.

At this place, for some j lonths past, a number of oar men have t een stationed, acting as scoots, under the J ommand of Liedt. Hoy. It was here, as .1 rill Jbe remembered, that the Yankee stea^ i nor Flora Temple was roughly bandied by t or scouts sdme five or six weeks sinoe, and n which occasion, as was subsequently asertained, some 30. or 40 of the Vaiidals rere killed.
