"WESTERN DEMOCEAT, CHARLOTTE, IN C.
CHARLOTTE, IV. C.
Tiiclny, ritictsihrr i:t. is.io.
ST Wc were somewhat .surprised to find the
following article in the " Democratic Pre," a pa
por published at Raleigh :
What u it to Ua? Wrsre frequently twitted bj
persons who lo nt understand the "-wkyi and where
fores," with the fact that the Raleigh Register receives
raYOftj from the bands of omr State Executive amJ ur du
.1. Those aeraoaa wean to think, it strange that an
opposition paper, actively engaged in trying to pull
a.i the Democratic parte and baild up its own, should
tiu-l more faeor iu the eyes of Got. Ellis than one ac
tively engaged in the cause of Democracy: and they
tr to abate our zeal for Democracy by telling ns that
wc are 'workiag for nothing and timling ourself.'
Sow in reply to all thin, we have simply to ay:
those persons. uli" twit us thus are doing worse than
working for nothing, if tbev tappoee that our course
ui!l be iaflnenced by such a party consideration as the
.j.iiiiir of $15 or ."Jo arortb of advertising, for Governor
KIlis, ia the coarse of a year. We don't ejtpect to re
reive oar pay from that quarter: that was not in all
imr calculations, lie expect our reward from the
high minded, intelligent and independent Democracy.
We expect to make a living, and we ejtpect to do it in
ilepeadeat of State patronage. Governor Ellis is un
der no obJiajatioa ti us, not ecen for the support we
jjave bim: we arc under no obligation to him: and it's
nobody's business whether Gov. Ellis sees tit to recog
nise ami patronize our paper, or whether he prefers the
Kegister before us. He is a free man snare we. Will
the above satisfy those who have twitted us?
The ''Press" has dune Gov. Kllis very j;reat in
justice, for its article is calculated to leave the iui
pr ssion that he patronizes opposition papers to the
exclusion of democratic ones It has been the
practice with all the Governors in this State to
advertise in both the leading papers at Raleigh,
whig and democratic. Gov. Ileid and Gov. Brass
always gave the same advertisements to the Reins
ler which they gave to the Standard, and we pre
sume they were never blamed by any one for so
doing. About the only patronage in the way of
advertising which the Governor has to bestow is
the publishing of the amounts distributed by the
Literary Board among the Common Schools of the
State, and none of this kind of advertising has been
given out since the "Press" was established. Hut
if any had been given to the Register since the
publication of the "1'rcss" was commenced, wo
think it would have had no just cause of complaint,
fiir it must acknowledge that it is proper to lav
sm li information before the readers of whig papers
as well as before those who patronize democratic
pipers. Publishing such advertisements in two
I ajiers at llaleigh is sufficient for that place, and
therefore it is evident that our eo temporary's in
sinuations against Gov. Kllis arc unprovoked and
unjust.
The "Press" claims to be a democratic paper,
and says it will support the nominee of the Demo
cratic Convention, but we must be allowed to say
that some of its articles do not seem to have a ten
dency to promote harmony in the party ; and its
attack upon Gov. Kllis is not at all calculated to
sustain its professions. The editor of the "Press"
has bad experience enough to know that pntfrs
ims of party attachment are immaterial if the
columns of a newspaper don't clearly indicate its
attachment to the democratic party, it is useless
for its editor to talk about being a democrat. We
don't say that the editor of the "Press" is no demo
crat, but we do say that such articles as the above
arc tending to disorganization and the injury of the
democratic part v.
W e have no unkind feeling towards the Kditor
of the "Press, " and would do nothing to injure
the l-ii si m s of his or any other paper, but wc must
object to its unjust reflections upon Gov. Kllis.
Gov. Ellis is well known as a true democrat, and
he has always stood by the newspapers and mem
bers of his own party in preference to those of the
opposition such was his duty, his right and his
privilege, and we presume no one will blame him
fr pursuing such a course. If he has given a
whig paper a little advertising, he did nothing
more than follow the example of his predecessors,
and therefore we think it strange that the "Press"
should single hint out as a mark. The State
I n usurer, who is a democrat, frequently gives the
Ucgister advertisements of the sale of State bonds,
to the exclusion ol the "Press."' How is it that
the "Press" says nothing about being "twitted"
with that, and why did it not include Mr Courts
in its bill of complaint ? It is appal ent that the
"Press" has done Gov. Kllis great injustice in this
matter.
I. S. Since the above was iu type wc have re
ceived the ' Press' of Saturday which contains
the following:
"Gov. Ki.i.is. We understand from a friend
that Gov. Kllis feels aggrieved by remarks made
in our last issue, relative to State patronage. We
assuro the Governor that we intended no reflection
upon him or his course in the matter, but simply
intended to silence thoe who had twitted us. We
hope this disclaimer will prove entirely satisfactojy
to the Governor."'
Arotheb Railboad Scheme. The citizens
"i Iredell county held a meeting at Statesville (as
will be seen by the proceedings in another column )
for the purpose of hiking into consideration the
importance of building a Railroad from Charlotte
via Statesville to Jonesboro, Tenn. There is to
be a meeting of the friends of the Road at Statcs
ville on the 4th of October, and the counties in
terested arc invited to send delegates.
Pkof. Kmmoxs, State Geologist, spent a night
ia this place last week. He had been visiting
Borne of the western counties, and a letter from him
their soils will be found in another column.
We learn that the Professor intends paying this
ctiu a professional visit in about two weeks.
A new Post Office has been established in
I moo county, called Negro Head Depot.
The corner stone of a new Church, for the Lath-
Nan denomination, was laid in Wilmington last
Week.
fey" It will be seen by advertisement that the
exercises of Carolina Female College are to be re
Bamed, under the management of its former able
d accomplished President, Rev. T. R. Walsh.
The new Bank. We learn that it is supposed
j at Raleigh that about one million dollars addition
al stock was subscribed to the Bank of North Ca
rolina during the late opening of books, being
seven or eight hundred thousand dollars more than
is wanted to make up the capital stock of 2,500,
000. This does not look as if money was very
scarce, or as though our system of internal im
provements was impoverishing the people. It is
true, internal improvements have increased taxes
a little, but the increase has been more than made
up by the enhanced price of farm products, of land
and of labor. An experienced gentleman remark
ed to us the other day that North Carolina had
progressed further within the last ten years, phy
sically, intellectually and morally, than during the
50 previous years, mostjjf which has been the
'I work of the steam engine Those who are in
clined to complain of high taxes should remember '
, this fact, and also remember that the time is fast
approaching when our public works will begin to 1
afford revenue to the State, and that it will not be j
; necessary to keep taxes at the present rate for a
great while.
A BASE BLANDER. Bioderiek, one of the U. !
S. Senators from California, is now stumping that
State iu opposition to his colleague, Senator Gwin.
The Richmond Whig represents Broderick as say
ing, in a late speech, in regard to the bill to place
at the disposal of the President 30,000,000 to '
enable hint to open negotiations for the purchase
of Cuba,
'I also accuse him (Gwin) of having supported the
Thirty Million .Secret Fund Hill when he knew it was
the intention to use that money as a corruption fund,
iu order to carry the next Presidential election; cither
! to elect 'Jimmy Buchanan' or Mr Siidell, of La., with
whom he co-operated iu the U. S. Senate,''
If Mr Broderick used any such language as this
he knew very well that he was uttering a base
slander against those who favored the Thirty Mil
lion Bill. Does any respectable man really believe
that James Buchanan, who has spent a long public
life without a stain upon his character as an hon
est citizen, wanted that bill passed so that he might
get the money to use as a "corruption fund"? Does
any man iu North Carolina or anywhere else, who
knows L. O'B. Branch, who introduced the Bill
into the House ami supported it, suppose that he
desired its passage in order to get the money so
that it could be used for electioneering purposes?
Does any opposition paper in this State believe that
the Bill was framed and introduced for a corrupt
purpose? Broderick may talk in that way, but
certainly no one who claims to deal fairly and hon
estly iu politics will endorse it. The President
and Mr Branch are honest gentlemen, and it is
nothing less than vilcslandcr to insinuate that they
favored the Thirty Million Bill with corrupt mo
tives. Tins District. Since the election evidences
have transpired showing that the opposition made
a desperate effort in this District to defeat the de
mocratic candidate for Congress. A friend in
C ii ion county has sent us a half sheet of a news
paper headed " North Carolina Argus, Extra,"
containing all sorts of abuse of the democratic
party, in profusion. The style in which a portion
of the matter iu this "North Carolina Argus,
Kxtra," is printed, shows that it was first printed
iu pamphlet form, and we suppose the stuff was
thus circulated through the District. We thought
the regular issue of the Wadesboro Argus, from
week to week during the canvass, contained enough
of that kind of matter, without issuing extras and
pamphlets.
i We merely allude to the matter now to let demo
crats see what desperate efforts were made b' the
; opposition (that portion about Wadesboro at least)
; to defeat Mr Craige. Hereafter it behooves demo
crats to be on their guard against such operations.
The Argus took occasion several times, during I
the canvass, to characterize the statements of the
"Western Democrat" and of Mr Craige as "false
hoods." Wc were willing for a time to overlook
such coarseness, being anxious for a fair and free
discussion, and desirous of treating all our eotetn
poraries with respect, but we are convinced from
the tone of that paper that it does not intend to
deal fairly in polities, and shall therefore not hesi
tate to point out its errors whenever we think pro
per, whether the editor likes it or not.
"A Tkmpest in a Teapot." Under this cap
tion the Warrenton News publishes a correspon
dence which occurred between the editor of that
paper and Gen. Leach, the know-moth img member
of Congress elect from the 6th District. The News
during the late canvass, alluded to the contest be
tween Leach and Scales in the following manner :
' In the sixth District, Alfred M. Scales, the former
representative, leads the democratic host, and is op
posed by a Gen. Leach, a most unscrupulous opponent,
who has been detected during the canvass in some dis
reputable pettifogging tricks ; it is even asserted he
personally offered to buy votes."
Under date of Lexingtou, Aug. 19, Leach writes
to the Kditor of the News to know if he is the au
thor of these charges and if he wrote the article in
which they are made, and demanding a retraction
through his paper.
The Kditor of the News replied that he did
write the article and was responsible for that and
every other article which appears editorially in the
News, and that having what he considered good
authority (the certificate of Thomas W. Broadway
and the assertion of others living in Leach's dis
trict) for the truth of the statements made, he
would neither retract nor qualify them until con
vinced that injustice had been done him.
To this answer the General made no reply. He
appears to be easily satisfied.
The editor of the News, in publishing the cor
respondence, says he regr.vded the letter of Leach
as an attempt to frighten him into the retraction
of statements he ( Leach) thought proper to pass
over in his own District.
The Vermont Election.
Montpelier. Sept. 6. Twenty-one towns give
Hon. Hiland Hall, the Republican candidate for
Governor, 5,256 votes, and John G. Saxe, Demo
crat, 2,657. In GO towns the Republicans elect
51 representatives, and the Democrats 8.
Botts for President. There is a good deal
of talk among the "Opposition" (especially at the
North) of running John M. Botts, of Virginia, for
President. In New Yor'i recently, a whig com
mittee addressed Mr Botts at the Astor House. He
replied in a speech, and in that speech said:
" Republicans, Whigs and Americans Here all
anxi'fjvs to overthrow the Democracy, and they
could just as well form an allied parti as the
warring parties in Kuropedidan army."
This is pretty plain language; but he went on
to openly declare that he was for uniting with the
Republicans against the democracy.
Notwithstanding this, we find opposition papers
in the South praising Mr Botts and ready to sup
port him. The leading opposition paper in this
State, the Raleigh Register, has already declared
that between a Democrat and a Black Republican
it would make no choice.
Of course if the Republicans were to help elect
Botts, they would chim half the Cabinet officers
and a proportionate share of the other offices of the
Government.
Si:ed. M. Q. Waddell, who ran for Congress
in G ilmcr's District, has sued the editors of the
Greensboro Patriot for libel or slander, laying the
damage at 10,000. Mr Waddell was the worst
beat man we ever heard of, and as the Greensboro
Patriot gave him some pretty hard licks during
the canvass, we suppose he feel rather sore, and
hopes to get satisfaction in the way of a law-suit.
Rather poor plan.
Waddell was a whig disorganizer, and of course
all the whig papers in the State were against him.
If he had been a democratic disorganizer, running
against the nominee of his party, tlte opposition
would have been loud in his praise.
JBSj" The election of 3Iayor of New York this
Fall will cause a good deal of excitement, judging
from present indications. Fernando Wood, ex
Mayor, has announced himself a candidate. Some
of the "country editors" (as the N. Y. News styles
them) arc opposing him; and it appears the News
has a very poor opinion of said country editors, for
it gives as a cause of their opposition, the desire
on their part, when they visit New York, to "go
bobbin' round" too freely and take lodgings at
places where they would not like to have their
names registered. As they fear Wood might ex
pose them, they find it convenient to oppose his
election. New York "country editors" must there
fore look to their interests.
A NEW SWINDLING OPERATION. A fellow,
purporting to be from the South, went to Philadel
phia and New York professing to want to employ
educated young ladies to come South as school
teachers. He engaged thirteen young ladies, and
promised to pay half their fare out if they would
pay the other half. After collecting ?150 from
them, and getting possession of their baggage, he
was missing, leaving the ladies at New York hotels
without money or baggage. A ery fortunately the
scamp was afterwards arrested in Washington city
and committed to jail to be sent back to NewYork.
It turns out that he is nothing but a laborer in
Washington, and of course never wanted to employ
teachers to bring out to the southern States.
UfetSf" Senator Douglas is making speeches in
Ohio. He is everywhere received by large crowds,
and much enthusiasm is manifested. At Columbus
on the 7th iust., he repeated his position on
non-intervention, and concluded as follows :
"The Democratic party is the only party which
recognizes the equality of the States and the right
of the people to exerc'se -ill rights, privileges, and
immunities ol self-government. 1 stand firmly by
the Democratic platform of 1856. 1 want no new
planks and no new pillars to strengthen and
uphold it. I stand upon the platform, and carry j
the Democratic banner. Let the nominee of the
Charleston Convention take the same position.
Put him on that platform and give him the old
Democratic banner, with all its glorious memories j
clustering around it, and the Democracy will march
to a glorious victory in 1860. j
t)& The Raleigh Standard, in its review of Mr ;
Douglas' late letter, remarks :
The "Opposition" in this State and elsewhere in 1
the South, are estopped from saying one word in
condemnation of the doctrines of Senator Douglas.
The Seward doctrine of the Wilmot Proviso was
their doctrine as a national party up to 1854, when
they dissolved and enlisted under the banner of
Know-Nothingism; and even then, with all the
"odor of nationality" which they claimed, they
ignored the question of slavery. As Whig, they
were willing to see the South excluded from all
the common territories, or rather they acted with a
party which always voted thus in Congress to
exclude us; as Know-Noth ing they had nothing
to say, but were willing to stand by and see the
Free-soilers triumph. As Whig, many of their
own leading orators and organs, including the
Raleigh Register, admitted the Wilmot Proviso to
be Constitutional; as Know-Nothings they would
not see that the South had rights in the Territories,
but ignored their very existence. As "Opposi
tionist" they are now ready, if not to exult over at
least to aquiesce in the election of Seward. Mr
Bell, of Tennessee, says he will act with the Black
Republicans in a certain event; and the Raleigh
Register declares that as between a national
Democrat and a black Republican for President, it
would make no choice! With "their hands on
their mouths, and with their mouths iu the dust,"
let them be thankful to the n.itioual Democratic
party for its past exertions and present efforts to
protect the Constitution and perpetuate the Union,
and to secure to them and their posterity equal
rights and privileges as citizens of a common
country. If the national Democracy cannot com
mand justice for the South, it is quite certain that
the "opposition," controlled by Seward, will not.
If there is nothing to hope for from the Democracy,
then there is no ground of hope. Let those (if
there be any,) who think there is no ground of
hope, either make up their minds to resist like
men, or prepare to lie down under the insults and
indignities which the abolitionists will put upon
them. If Seward is elected, squatter sovereignty
and Territorial sovereignty will be trivial things,
compared with the aggressions which he will make
upon us. Under hi administration, and those
of the same stamp who may succeed him, the
States must become either slave or free! That is
his doctrine and that is the policy which his
triumph would inaugurate. We repeat, our only
hope is in the national Democratic party. That
party will nominate a sound and true man at
Charleston. As we value our rights, and as we
would perpetuate the Union as our fathers formed
it, let us rally to the nominee and elect him.
LETTER FROM GEN. LANE.
The Washington Constitution is "permitted, by
the gentleman to whom it was addressed, to make
the following extract of a letter from Gen. Joseph
Lane, dated Winchester, Oregon, the 18th ult.,
which explains the cause of the closeness of the
vote in the recent election, and the principles
upon which the contest was fought by the gal
lant Senator and his late worthy colleague, Mr.
Smith :"
"We have just now received the official vote
cast at our late election for Congress. Stout,
the nominee of the Democratic party, is elected
a hard fight and a close vote. For four weeks
I was in the saddle or on the stump; averaged
from forty to fifty miles a day travel, and made
from one to two speeches daily. My late col
league, Mr Smith, made the round with me.
Our triumph is the more glorious, as the battle
was fought strictly upon Democratic principles.
We took high national ground; stood upon the
Constitution and the rights of the States under it,
and their equalities in the Territories; defended
the policy of our present able Administration, as
also the decision of the Supreme Court in the
Dred Scott case. Our triumph was glorious, be
cause it was a victory over the united Republican
party, aided and assisted by the traitor Bush, of
the Statesman. This man, who owes so much to
the Democracy, turned the whole power of his
corrupt sheet against the nominee of the party.
As an evidence of his treason and efficiency as a
traitor, Marion county, in which his paper is pub
lished, (heretofore Democratic by from 400 to 500,)
at the late election cast 766 majority for Logan,
the nominee of the Republican party; and, as an
evidence of his cowardice, after laboring constantly
for Logan, and persuading Democrats to vote for
him, and although his co-editor and all in their
employ voted for Logan, Bush turned round and
voted for Stout, that he might still claim to be a
Democrat, and be the better able hereafter to
destroy the party or to do it harm! Thank God,
and the true, pure and unterrified Democracy, we
have triumphed over all opposition; the honor of
Oregon has been maintained and the Administra
tion of President James Buchanan fully endorsed;
an J, what is of vast importance, should the elec
tion of President in 1860 go into the House, the
Union, so far as Oregon is concerned, will be safe.
Therefore, all hail to the true and pure Democracy
of Oregon!"
The Foreign Slave Trade. An extract
from Judge Campbell's charge to the Grand Jury
of the U. S. District Court of Alabama, made out
a very strong case against those who seek to create
the impression that the laws prohibiting the
foreign traffic were forced upon the South by the
North. The National Intelligencer, publishing
Judge Campbell's charge, adds some other facts
to the same effect.
On the day after the reception of Mr Jefferson's
message iu December 1806, recommending the
passage of prohibitory laws, the House referred
the subject to a select Committee, consisting of
Messrs. Peter Karly, of Georgia, Thos. M. Randolph,
of Virginia, John Campbell, of Maryland, Thomas
Kenan, of North Carolina, Orchard Cook, of
Massachusetts, James Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
and Killian K. Van Rensselaer, of New York,
four Southern and three Northern men. The
Senate Committee, was composed of Messrs. Stephen
R. Bradle3 of Vermont, David Stone, of North
Carolina, William B. Giles, of Virginia, John
Gaillard, of South Carolina, and Abraham Baldwin,
of Georgia, one Northern and four Southern men.
These committees, thus composed, reported bills
stiongly prohibitory of the traffic. The Senate
passed the bill reported by its committee, without
a division. The House passed the same bill, with
but five dissentieut voices.
The subsequent measures, says the Intelligencer,
adopted in 1818 and 1820, affixing additional
penalties to the traffic, were in like manner adopted
by the common consent of Representatives from
all parts of the Union, and received the assent of
President Monroe, in pursuance of whose earnest
recommendations they were passed by the Natioual
Legislature. Fayette ville Observer.
Washington, Sept. 6. There is every reason
to believe that the Administration, iu the last dis
patches to General Harney, instructed him to
maintain possession of the Island of San Juan at
all hazards.
General Harney informs Gen. Scott of all the
circumstances attending the occupation of the Is
land. It appears that Gen. Harney sent troops to
the island without any specific instructions, but to
protect a few American citizens there. An issue
is existing between the respective boundary com
missioners as to the right of ownership. The sub
ject excites much interest in diplomatic circles in
Washington.
Suicide. A letter from Hunsucker's Store,
Montgomery Co., informs us that a man named
Ward was found dead near his plantation, on
Monday evening of last week, and that a jury of
inquest returned a verdict of suicide by shooting
himself. A loaded rifle was standing against a tree
near by, while an empty shot gun lay on the ground,
the muzzle pointing towards the dead body, into
which the load had been discharged.
No cause is assigned for the act. The deceased
was regarded as a peaceable, honest, and industrious
citizen. He leaves a wife and two small children.
Raleigh Standard.
Murker. A murderous attack was made on an
old lady, named Betsy Williams, 80 years of age,
living near Enfield, N. C, by a free negro, on
the 27th ult. The negro was employed by a Mr
Sykes, to work on his farm, and after he had quit
his days work, went into the house of Mrs. Williams,
who is blind and infirm, and commenced beating
her, and afterwards stabbed her several times, it is
supposed fatally. The negro was suspected of
having been doing something wrong from the
blood on his clothes which he attempted to account
for, but when the news of the murderous attack on
Mrs. Williams was made known he was arrested
and acknowledged his guilt. Much excitement
prevailed and a desire was manifested to hang him
on the spot, but law prevailed and he was sent on
to jail at Enfield Xetcbern Delta.
Skntencep to the Penitentiary. In Car
roll county, Va., last week, J. S. MulHns was
sentenced to three years in the penitentiary, for
horse stealing, and W. J. Beece to one year, for
concealing the horse. Both convicts were from
North Carolina.
It is officially reported to the Emperor of the
French that chloroform was used in thirty thousand
surgical operations in the Crimea, by skilled
assistant surgeons without a single death. A
similiar success has followed its administration at
Solferino aud Magenta; but in English hospitals
there have been about one hundred deaths in
one-third of this number of operations in the
Crimea. The London deaths from chloroform
begin to be so common that coroner's inquests are
rarely called for. Everything depends on the mode
of administration.
iSf John H. Manly, formerly of Raleigh, (son of ex
Go v. Manly) has been elected to the Texas Legislature.
He is a Houston democrat, we believe.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The steamship Europa arrived at New York on
Friday last, with Liverpool dates to the 27th alt.
It is rumored that France is preparing transports
for one hundred thousand men, to rendezvous op
posite Dover. A writer says that full confirma
tion of the fact has been telegraphed to the Eng
lish government, and conjectures that an alterca
tion with Belgium will supply a pretext for a rup
ture with England. This, however, is regarded
as doubtful.
Cotton. Sales of the week 40,000 bales. Sales
on speculation 2,500, and on export 5,500; closing

The Newspaper. There is no book so instructive
as the newspaper; no knowledge so necessary to be
acquired as that which may be gleaned from its
columns. It is not only the vehicle of the cheapest,

happiness. A newspaper in a family is sure to be
the means of interesting, informing almost every
member of the family, especially where they live
in the country, and see and hear but little that is
new. In the course of a year, a well conducted
paper conveys information on almost every subject,
or at least excites curiosity and enquiry on all
subjects. To know what is nearest to us in time
and space, is almost necessary, most pleasing and
most instructive; and this kind of knowledge can
only be obtained from newspapers. We would
venture to affirm, that there never was, and never
will be, in a country situation, an ignorant family
who takes a newspaper, as it is impossible that a
family should not become in time well informed,
provided they live sufficiently secluded to be
thrown upon the paper as a source of amusement.
The dullest child who hates a book, will, in rainy
weather, steal up to a newspaper, read a marriage
notice and an advertisement or two, and put it
down. The next time probably he will become
bolder and get through a "horrible murder." Soon
he will read short tales of fiction; then just before
election time he begins to peep into politics; and
even to read political speeches. Last of all he
attacks foreign news. By this time his curiosity
on most subjects is excited, and he is lured on to
become a reading and well informed man. It is
strange that any family, as a measure of economy,
should be without a ticwspapcr. Children see
the world cheaply at home in a newspaper,
without the danger of bad association or the expense
of travel.
Dr. Franklin observes: "The eyes of others

The Western Corn Crop. The luxuriant
appearance of the growing corn throughout the
West is the subject of general remark. The Cin
cinnati Commercial says :
The prospects for a corn crop of full average
yield throughout the region of country about
which there was recently so much apprehension,
have been well re-assured by the genial rains of
the last two weeks, and the increased amount of
land planted throughout the West will make the
yield of this great staple, if present anticipations
are realised, much greater than ever before gath
ered. We are informed, by a gentleman exten
sively engaged in farming in the central portion of
the State, that there are farmers who will willing
ly contract for 3,000 to 5,000 bushels of corn,
deliverable monthly after the crop is fully ready
to be marketed, at 60 cents per bushel.
Sudden Death. Robert McLure, an age4
citizen of Yorkville, was found dead in his bed on
Monday morning last. He was a man of property,
but becoming involved, some four out ot his twenty
negroes were levied on, and to be sold that day.
When officer Kerr called at his residence for there
he found a more potent execution had been served
on their master. It is supposed the difficulty
preyed upon hb mind, and had a tendency to
bring on the appoplexy of which he died. He
never was married. Roch-Uill Chronicle.
