CTWe hnve heard from but
few (f the districts in liiis county,
of the number of votes given on
the Convention question. The
polls will be compared in this
place to-day, and theoflicial state
ment published in our next paper.
There were, it is conjectured, a
bout 33 or 40 votes in favor of ra
tifying, and about 1000 for reject
ing the amended Constitution.

a fine Beet, measuring 21 inches
in circumference, taken from the
garden of Mr. B. J. Spruill, in
this vicinity also, a mess of tur
nips, some measuring from 10 to
IS inches in circumference, and
a parcel of excellent sweet pota
toes, of huge dimensions, raised
by I. Norlleet, Esq. in this county,
w hich excel any thing of the kind
that we have seen or heard tell of
in this section. We tender our
thanks to those gentlemen for their
very acceptable presents.

Rahigh, Nov. 5. An arrange
ment has been entered into be
tween the undersigned and Mr.
Nathaniel O. Blake, by which the
printing of the Standard will here
after be executed by the last nam
ed gentleman, and the business de
partment of the establishment be
attended to by him. The under
signed has been induced to adopt
this plan, by reason of his impair
ed health, and the arduous labors
which the complicated duties of
his establishment imposed on him.
Believed from the perplexities of
an attendance to the mechanical
operations of the establishment,
the Editor will have more time to
devote to the Editorial department
of the Standard and will, he
would have been thought incapa
ble of being invested with the
graphic interest and poetic color
ing which he has thrown around
it. We doubt not from the speci
men before us that tiie work will
be worthy to be placed among the
best productions of our most es
teemed writers, both for its style
and the accuracy of its details.
