The last day of the Roanoke and Tar River Agricultural Fair was markea bv the Dresence of Governor Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia. On yesterday, the bitrdav. a large crowd was present, niimberinff. it is said, over 5,000. The town of Weldon has not more than 300 inhabitants. To-day 'a attendance was unusually large for the closing of the fain. Governor Lee, with Colonels s B. Witt and C. O'B. Cowardin, of his tff. and his private secretary, Mr. Waller arrived this afternoon. They were met by a committee and escorted to the fair-grounds. The attendance was unusually large for a last day of the fair There was a reunion on this of the southern soldiers of Eastern North Carolina, and Governor Lee was received with a tremendous welcome. His presence everywhere created the nrofoundest enthusiasm The people of North Carolina received him with open hands and hearts finvernor Lee. havine been escorted to the stand, was eloguently introduced bv General W. T. Roberts, Auditor of th' Ktata of North Carolina. His brief sneech was like his utterances nroiutimofi and hfttrov. nis able and Condensed picture of the late war and ; its causes, and his elucidation of its results, brought many a tear from the veterans who attentively heard it The Governor, in the early portion of his address, cited the fact that in ap pointing a commission for settling the boundary line between Virginia and North Carolina he was apprehensive that, with the close and fraternal rela tions existing between the two f rater nal States, it "would be an almost fruit lsa task to draw a line between them His manly and straightforward epitome nf the causes and fruits of the war were listened to with bated breath " and loudly applauded from. time to time by his enthusiastic and attentive audience. Three cheers were given on his appearance on the stand, and at the conclusion of his speech, and as the applause on his conclusion was dy ing out, the leader of .the old Confeder- iroposecLii threejdbeelxfQrGenefc Fitzhugh Lee, the next Vice-Presi dent of the United States."

Brief sppeeches were made by Major Emory, the president of the Agricult nral Society, and Editor Kitchen The latter gentleman was very elo- auent and warmed up the old soldiers with whom he f oucht. while he said nothing incongruous with the times and occasion. The Gover nor and his , .staff received every attention: 'from the committee and fair ' officials. Senator Ransom arrived from Washington in the after noon and escorted Governor Lee from the grounds of the fair to the city of Waldon. The Governor and his staff left for Richmond on the eve ning mail.

Its seed are much smaller, its staple longer and finer and its bolls twice as thick as the usual cotton. H. v. -tai lev. fcl.V. of Lillinscton, is the disco v erer. He found a stalk of it growing on the banks of the Cape Fear. Plant ing the seed they produced one-quarter of an Acre. " He noticed it to be unusu ally fine cotton and ; wougnt it tojai- eigh where severalTof the cotton-buyers examined it They pronounced it very fine, and some flattering offers were made for the seed. Baily was told that it would bring 'several more cents in the market than any other cotton. He did no sell the seed but is going to nlant sixty acres next year and says he will be able to supply , the big demand that he expects. Mr. D. McN McKoy, a prosj'erous planter of Harnett, told the editor of the (Jhrcmicle that cotton mill owners preferred ; Harnett county .cotton to that produced in other sec tions of the Stato because of the long staple. If all Harnett county is ahead of otiipi!gnttpn,,-and Baily has the best hi mh-neat, it is safe 'iij all that is claimed for it. Commis sioner Robinson says he has never seen better cotton anywhere.

The McDowell Bugle, in speaking of the Vein Mountain Gold Mining Com pany, says: " The superintendent with a few hands while prospecting Satur day evening, blew up at one blast a pound of gold, at another about seven pounds in which there was a nugget Praise an it Flattery Tb Difference. It is a difficult matter to know how, when, and in what measure to give Draise. Some never give any praise. That ia unamiable. Others give a great deal too much. That may be something as bad. The characters oi both the party who is in the way of praising and the party who is in the wav of praised, call for consideration before we judge of either. The habit of never or rarely ; giving praise, , even where it is due, and might do good, may proceed from a coldness of nature and will then be justly censuraoie; but it may be only the result of reserv ed and diffident habits,m which case it ia to be excused; or it may be effect of a deliberate conviction that all praise does barm, when, of course, we must set it down as only an error iu judg ment. : :. A -.-':': '-' TIia nnrwvrita extreme of too much and too frequenlf praise in short, flattery is also not to be at once and conclusively condemned. When it arises from directly interested views; or aims only, at playing on a weak Doint in the character of a fellow creature, there ia not a .word to be said in arrest of iud&rment: but . .flat tery sometimes proceeds v jfrom benevolent, although it may be injudicious, wish to give pleas ure; sometimes it is the genuine result of an over estimation of its ob ject, or an exaggerated notion of the merits to which it refers. Here there may be an error, but there is not ill intention: and flattery given under such circumst ances is obviously a very different thing f r om the flattery which aims at deceiving or turning into ridicule. There is also a flattery which persons of a social disposition, and who them selves love praise, give . to others, in order to be" on good te rms with them, and obtain a good opinion and expres sion of friendly sentiment in return. Here the motive ia not so good, but atill it is so far short of the depravity of a treacherous and derisive flattery. When we are, then, the objects of flat tery, or witness its being administered to others, we would require to exam ine and consider well the character and circumstances of the person offering it, in order to judge if the act be an offence against good morals; and if so, how far it is so. If it appear to proceed from base motives,let it be treated with open contempt; if from the wish for a return, pass it aa a weakness; if from good nature or excessive appreciation, excuse it for the sake of its amiable source. 1 carriage passes. , . K. ,.- The perfect ease with which Lady Brassey can adapt herself to the force of circum stances may be gathered from the following illustration, which happened at Williams town. Lord and Lady Brasses had arrived from Melbourne at the Williamstown ter minus, expecting to get a cab. No cabs were to be found, and Lord Brassey went in search of a vehicle of some sort to transport her ladyship to the Sunbeam. To obtain one was an imperative necessity, owing to the very inferior pedestrian powers of her ludyship. After traversing some distance his lordship lighted on a local vegetable hawker, whose services he enlisted and with whom he re turned to the terminus. The cabbages, pota-, toes, carrots and sundry fruit boxes having been carefully placed in one comer and an extempore seat adjusted, the man of vege tables and his lordship assisted her ladyship aboard, and the grotesque carriage bore its occupants to the yacht, j Lord Brassey, on narfinff with the hawkor. crave him half a 3Wereign, and her ladyship shook him cor dially by the hand and toia mm to can uown and get "an order for vegetables for the whole vessel during their stay. ; During the 15th of March Hardee .was re treating before uS, having for his rear guard a brigade composed of the" troops which had garrisoned Charleston, commanded bGenT Aifi-tvi 'Riir.r.r.
