Our e.ci.ang n-port serious misfortunes to Ken tucky Irom drought. No provisions made, and the price of stock falling rapidly in consequence. L.vi -i:nxs District. The seasons are now far esoogh advanced to develope the unwelcome fact that the crops, which gave such evidence in the early p:rt of the summer, of being abundant, will not ieU !' thing like an averaf product. The recent and continuing drought has cut off the corn crop so materiiiHy that the most relinblo gentle men Iron' a" Prls of the district, informs us that it cannot possibly produce more than enough for home consumption, if it does that. The eoltoo looks bad ; the plant is low, the bowls unusually small and, in many sections, shedding. We have been particular to inquire of such persons as wo could rely on as to the probable jri id, and all con cur in the opinion that not more than half an ovt rage crop will be made in Laurens District this year. Every thing of the vegetable kingdom in this neighborhood is completely scorch d up; and to make the prospect still mere gloomy, the weather has been so dry this month ibfct very few of oar farmers have sown their turnip, and most of those who have, are compelled to resow, as they could not get a stand. We have had hut one rain this month, and but three since about the first of June, neither of them wetting the ground more than three inches deep. This, however, has only happened in portions of our district ; in some sections they have had abundant rain, and will gather fine crops. Her ald, Sept. 1. North Carolina. We are rejoiced to learn from a gentleman of this place, whose business has r quired a thorough canvass of sevenieen of the upper counties of the State, that there is every prospect of an umieunlly fine crop of corn. In some sections through which he passed nbouj six weeks ago, Mie crops were suffering from protracted drought, but on his return he found them greatly t haiiged for the better. A letter from AsbeHle, Buncombe county, says, there is no mistake about good crops in that section of North Carolina. Tkxxkssek. The Nashville Banner of the 22d sav : Since our remarks upon this subject some days ago, we have received further and reliable informa tion from a large portion of Middle Tennessee, which satisfies us that in this division of the State, not more than half a crop of corn, if that, will be rs sed the present season. From two gentlemen who iiave recently traversed the counties on bo'h sides of the Cumberland, for a distance of four hundred miles above Hm place, we learn that, while the crops immediately nn the river bottoms are generally preltv f'lir. considering the season, ns soon as you leave the bottoms, vou find verv much the same state of things that exists with us. In Wilson, Summer. Smith, Overton. Cannon and U airen counties, the effects of the drought have been quite an disastrous ns in this eounly. In thoe counties, as well as in this, neighborhoods may he found which have been favored with oc casional showers, and will produce fair crops, but ns n general thing, throughout Middle Tennessee, it will hr a liberal estimate in our opinion, to count upon half the usual crop of corn. Asa necessnry ensmeqnrnci, there will be few or ft hogs fattened for exportation. LouMtAXA. The Nachitoches Chronicle of the 1 9h savs : Our planters have begun to pick cotton, and un b s some unforeseen and unexpected circumstance should disappoint them, the prospect is fair fur a good crop. After five or six weeks of seorchinglv hot weath er, unrelieved hv rain, we were yesterday visited wiih a delightful shower, which has had the ten dency to cool the atmosphere. and moisten the hard ened s"il. The Bastrop, (Louisiana.) News of the 19th, says : Having visited many portions of our own and nil ndjoining parishes, we speak from the card, v hen we say that the health was never better at this season of the year. The corn crop fs looking fine, and if the rain w hich visited us on Wednesday lam, had have been two weeks earlier, the cotton crop would have exceeded any thing evar known in this parish. The prospects are still good for an r.bundant harvest. AcQjJIsmon ofCtba hytiie ITnttpd States. The greatest difficulty that America will have to cvntend with in its endeavor to acquire Cuba, is the acquiescence of England and France. The two countries have hiiherto shown themselves averse to this attempt on the Spanish possessions. England, from its many possessions in those seas, has a greater interest than France in preventing Cuba Irom lallmg into the hands of the United States, more especially if it should be attempted through means thai are not legitimate. Principle and policy would alike require this country to in terpose to prevent such a design. Were the United Sutes to acquire Cuba by purchase from the Spaniards, it is difficult to say how our Govern ment might be inclined to act. There are two precedents for such an accession of territory bi the Americans, and it is possible that if the nego tiations for the purchase were to be carried on while England has the present troublesome war on her hands, she might not oppose any serious objection, ulthough it is certain it would render it necessary for her to strengthen her colonial gar risons in the West Indies. One of the arguments used by the Government of Washington for de siring to posses Cuba is its geographical position it being one of a group of islands contiguous to its coast, and which, on this account, ought to be long to the Union. But the same argument would apply to Jamaica and other of the West Indian possessions of Englmd, which the country may be averse to part w ith. London Siiping Ga zette, July 25. A IIkn- IV.ckeo UrsRAND. If the correspon dent of the National Democrat speaks as one w ho knows, his royal highness Prince Albert has a hard time of it in his domestic relations. The Queen appears to us in the light of n very devoted wife, but while she loves ai:d honors, does not obey her liege lord. It is evident that the royal consort is a hen-pecked man, and that the Queen is the head man of the establishment. 1 can. however, give you a Utile anecdote of her majesty that is authentic. Frince Albert was lately let out for a day's visit to Cambridge, with instructions that he must return by ten at night. W bile there, the Professors became so prosy in their addresses, thnt, being promised an entertain ment hy the municipality too, he telegraphed for permission to remain till twelve. The reply quickly came from Victoria that as a punishment hr this conjugal disobedience, he must return by eight ; and at this early hoot the poor Prince was ohligrd to trudge into Buckingham Palace, t- ccapc the suspicion and cons -qucmccs of marital ifideHy." . From the Raleigh Standard. To Merchanli, Book sellers, and alters i-nleeestcdin t sale of UrMool Books in North Carolina. A complete series of North Carolina Readers will probably be ready fur the use of schools by the first day of December com.ng. The series will consist of only three numbers, the last or highest number being my N. C. Reader, revised with the historical part brought down to the pre sent time. This number will be the only one of a merely local interest. The publishers are A. S. Barnes & Co., St. John street, N. Y., and merchants and traders who will leore their orders with them this fall will have them promptly sup plied. I have found this house to be liberal, re liable and punctual to its engagements. In making this announcement lo the public, I wish to submit a very brief account of the history of the enter prise and of the motives which prompted it. It was obvious to me that our commr n schools have languished for the want of proper attention to, and interest in them, and to secure this attention and arouse a permanent and increasing interest has been a leading object with me. Various efforts tending to this end, have been resorted io, and it can be easily seen that for this purpose nothing is more effectual than the use of books made ex pressly for the schools, treating of their interests and bearing their name. Such books, wall got up, and used in the other institutions of learning, are a perpetual remembrancer to all classes of the common schools they give them new dignity and importance, And many youths who never before heard of ihe common school system as an interest of the least consequence, study the very work to which it bus given birth. The very fact that the sy stem is ah.'e to produce and give name to a series of text books enhances its value and im portance in the eyes of young and old, while it also teaches tht-m self-dependence ond inspires confidence in the resources and energies of our ow n people ; while the matter of these works, if judicious, could be made to shape the entire mind of the Slate by one high pattern of patriotism and love of home. For these reasens I have much desired that en enterprise which I began before my election to office should be carried out. I had made the chief number of a series of N. C. Readers, find wished io have the system completed. I desired to have no pecuniary interest in it, direct or indirect, but if I did not undertake it myself, tne difficulty was to get any other to assume the responsibility. I was willing myself to make risks on the intelli gence and State pride of my people; but I could not think of having any investments in school hooxs wile occupying an official position with re gard to the schools. The enterprising pub;ishers above named, finally agreed to my proposition, which was this, to wit : That they take the stereotype plates of the N. C. Render (my work) and the books on hand at orig inal cost, and that I give them the copy right on condition that ihey employ a competent citizen ol the State to make the two primary numbers, and then stereotype the works and be ready to supply the State with a full series of Home Readers. Professor F. M. Hubbard, of the University, author of the life of Gen. Davie, was selected to finish the series, and it was agreed that I should super vise the w hole, and also revise my own work, &c. Professor Hubbard, with much taste and judgment, has about finished his task, and I am now ex amining it: it will soon be in the hands of the printers, and ready for delivery. I am thus par ticular in mentioning the circumstances, that the public may appreciate the work, and the enterprise of publishers and authors. I make them known w ithout the least feeling of egotism that I am con scious of, while for the sake of all concerned I wish it to be distinctly understood that I receive nothing for my copy-right, no profits on my books, and no pay or remuneration for my trouble and expenses in the matter, while I lose the interest, for three years, on one half of the original invest ment, nnd give awav a valuable copy-right. I have done this not to have it to boast of, but that the book may be the more useful as being prompted solely by a desire to serve the public. Its general use is recommended for the reasons above stated, and because it is very desirable to have a uniform series of books that the children may be arranged in classes; and it may not be inappropriate also to suggest that the book, emana ting as it does, the President of the University himself also assisting in the matter, may possibly enhance the sympathy between the University at Chapel Hill, our highest institution of learning, and the common schools, our great primary Uni versity, and the first interest of the State. Inde pendent of all these considerations, it is believed that this series of Readers will have several ad vantages over others. It will consist of fewer numbers, nnd therefore be cheaper, it will not be so burdened with a complicated and artificial sys tem of rules, and the selections of the primary numbers will have less baby-talk, and be more interesting in rrintter, end correct, though simple in style, than those of rtther modern compilations. The work will aim to do justice to North Carolina, lo instil useful information and correct ideas of style into the minds of the young, to educate the heart with generous sentiments and republican principles, and to imbue mind and heart with love and veneration, for the Author of all good and the Creator of all things. I earnestly recommend it to the use of all our schools, and I respectfully suggest to merchants, booksellers, and others interested in the sale of school books, to form the acquaintance of the pub lishers of this work.
