DAWSON ii authorized to receive subscriptions and advertisements for this paper In the city of New York. XggrLAY & BItQ. aro our authorised A genU in Philadelphia. J. siciy Season. 's Chills and Fevers have been more nu merous in this place and vicinity for the last -six or eight weeks, than we have known them for many years past. Ilap- pily the cases have been generally very mil 3, yielding readily to medicine. So far as we -cau judge from the papers in every direction, the past two months may bo justly regarded as "a sickly soason." We have had recently a few copious showers and heavy frosts, and the weather now being cool and invigo rating, we confidently anticipate the re turn of health and spirits to our debili tated and desponding citizens. Agricultural Society Exhibition of Cdts, Cattle, dx. On Thursday last, the Edgecombe Agricultural -Society held its quarterly meeting. A variety of interesting sub jects were discussed. In the evening a show of spring Colts took piacc, when the following were exhibited : Norflee;fc.& Dancy, a torrel Colt, Wm. S. Battle, a brown do. Burrel Shelton. a Lav do. Elisha Cromwell, a sorrel do. llichafd A. Savage, a sorrel do. The Colts were all remarkably fine, and much diversity of opinion prevailed among the spectators in regard to supe riority but the judges decided that Mr. Cromwell's was entitled to the pre ference. Messrs. Norfleet & Dancy, and II. Blair Rryan, .also exhibited some very fine Devon cijttle, &c. This is an excellent ."beginning, and we lope that each succeeding meeting ! of the .Society will witness an increased exhibition of stock, farming imple ments, seeds, &c, which cannot fail to prove highly beneficial. Regimental Muster. The 21st Regiment N. C. Militia pa raded in this place on Saturday last, and performed several evolutions and ma noeuvres highly -creditable to the Pri-j vatea and their Officers. Capt. Jesse Bulluck was elected Major, in place df A. J. Whitehead, resigned. The Field Officers now in command are Col. Henry T. Clark, Lt. Col. David B. Bell, Major Jesse Bulluck, Adjt. Rob ert R. Bridgers. The VoluntcM Rifle Company also turned out, and made a handsome dis play' with their splcudid uniform and banners. This Company is now under the command of Capt. Wm. M. Pip pen, 1st Lieut Nathan Adams, 2nd Lieut. Wm, fi. Pitt, 3rd Lieut. John Willfams, Ensign Richard Stallings. The State Fair.

Arrington, Esq. of Nash, ex- hibited at the fair four pairs Game Chickens, purest stock known, and de cidedly tho finest fowl wo over saw. They arc classed as follows. No. 1. Black Breasted white, leg red, and sister to correspond, of tho import ed Silver stock 3 years old. No. 2- Brindlo Black, and sister, pf the imported Black Bird stock 2 years old. No. 3. White breastctl, white gray stag and sister, of the Georgia Razor Grinders and Charles City Reds stock, of N. C. The above chickens-. were admired by a multitude of spectators, both for their fiue plumage, and beautiful shape. Giraffe. The foregoing is a game article, and no mistake. Nash coirnty 1ms never yet been beaten in game chickens, pret ty girls, trotting horses and pure De mocracy. By the way, that trotting match on Thursday, between MeDan iel's black mure and Murdecai's bay horse Mac, was quite exciting. The marc led at last, but the bay horse sus tained himself finely, showing hinself a ca pi tal t r otte r . Stan dard. The Standard also states that Mr. Arrington sold some twelvo of his game chickens for S160. One pair bro't 530. State Agricultural Society. Wo learn from the Standard, that the members of the State Agricultural Society had most interesting mcetiugs every night during the week of the Fair in the Commons Hall. The official proceedings will appear hereafter. The officers of tho Society for tho ensuing year are as follows: R. II. Smith of Halifax, President; John S. Dancy, of Edgecombe, Dr. W. R.

Hutchins, of Wake, Treasurer. Business Matters. Wc arc authorized and requested to state by responsible gentlemen connect ed with the commerce of this place, that no hesitation need exist among Cotton planters in regard to a market for that article in Wilmington. Full and fair j market prices can be, and will be paid tor any amount which may be sent here; and the known moderation of all charges at this port, should give it the prefer ence, or at least secure for it a fair and equal showing in this branch, from tbe communities placed in connection with it by means of its public works. Wilmington Journal, High Prices. Some time since a likely young negro man, belonging to tho estate of the late John King, of this county, afield hand, but of extraordinary qualities, sold for $1,500; and the other day, another a likely, young blacksmith, owned by Mr. E. Transu, brought 2,000, cash. Salem Press. , Fatal Accidents. We learn that on Thursday last Lo renzo Miller of Mills' River was shot by a rifle, the ball entering above one of his hips and lodging in his viscera, from which- he died on tho following day. It sacms that Mr. Oliver Robison, who re sides in thc samo neighborhood, was shotting at a mark; ad that there was a small sappUng about midway between where be was standing and the mark, Mr. Miller standing, near the sapling, the ball in its passage struck the side ot Hi tmo and fflanccd in the direction oi Mr. Miller, penetrating him as we have stated We also learn that on Sunday last, a small boy, son of Joseph T. Bryson who lives beyond Mills' River on Bryson's ereek, was playing with a pistol, while his narents were absent attending chureh, which he accidentally discharg ed, the load entering his abdomen aud causing death in a short time. Ashville Spec. J&Elder Knapp, an eccentric Bap tist preacher, and G. T. Flanders, a U nivcrsalist, were, sometime since, both preaching in Zancsville, Ohio. Knapp publicly prayed God either to convert Flanders, or take from him the power of speech, so that he might not longer mislead the people Tbe Baptist paper of Zancsville, Ohio, says that Flanders returned to Baltimore, and has since lost his voice, and is thereby unable to preach.

JKST As a SPRING AND SUMMER ME DICINE, Carter's Spanish Mixture stands pre-eminent above all others. Its singular ly efficacious action on tho blood; its strengthening and vivifying qualities; its tonic action on the Liver; its tendency to drive all humors to the surface, thereby cleansing tho system according to Nature's own prescription; its harmless, and at the came time x.tja,Bdiaary good effect?, and the number of cures testified to by many o the most respectable citizens of Richmond, Va., and elsewhere, must be conclusive evi dence that there is no humbug about it. The trial of a single bottle will satisfy the most sceptieal of its benefits. See advertisement in anotner coiumu. From the Republican $ Argus, April 21, 185 HamptojTs Vegetable Tincture. This preparation seems to be working wonders in the physical and medical world. The spon taneous testimony of so many respectable and responsible people, was never before given to anv medical preparation. Wc know many ourselves who have been greatly benefitted j by the use of this Tincture; and we would doubt the evidence presented to our own eyes and ears, did we doubt its valuable me dicinal qualities. The manufacture of it is in the hands of parties who will keep up its purity, and the public may be assured that the original curative properties will be care fully preserved by Messrs. Mortimer y Mow bray, the sole repositories of Dr. Hampton's reeipe for its manufacture.

JfST'If any body has valuable Horses trou bled with galls, chafos, scratches, sprains or Uruiscs let him read the certificates of the five Express Cos ef New York City, that the Mustanj Liniment has cured their horses of those complaints and go and do likewise. JJiSSIt is not a very difficult matter to pTo ducc a medicine above the knowledge of the 'profession," as is well proven by the new ingredients anJ chemical affinities produced in the Mustanj Liniment, which supercedes all the old preparations in its surprising cures. Wm. II. Tiicsj-ekt, a highly respectable citizen of Baltimore, says that STABLER'S ANODYNE CHEURY EXPECTORANT entirely cured him of a threatened Consump tion of six mouths standing, lie has since recommended it to many others, and it has in evory instance done all fh:it caul 1 be ex pected from medicine.
