Their com pany consisted of 13 persons. They went from Sampson county to Tennessee. The spokesman of the crowd said he was doing pretty well and making a fair living in Sampson, but very foolishly became dissatisfied and moved to Tennessee in I consequence of the glowing descriptions he re ceived of the productiveness of the land. He staid there long enough to lose nearly all he had by sickness and other causes, and now he was trying to ret back to his old neighborhood. He said he liked North Carolina better now than he had ever done before, and never expected to leave her again. Poisoning Affair. The Columbia Carolinian says that a number of persons attending a Ball at Williamston, S. C, were seriously affected by some thing either in the food or drink, supposed to be poison. A gentleman from near Abbeville named Cheatham has died, also a negro barber from Sum ter. Some assert that there must have been poison in the food, while others say the sickness was caus ed bv a too free use of fruit. CAUCUSSES. From the way our whig friends have been in the habit of ridiculing democratic meetings and conventions, styling them caucusses, we might have supposed they would never be caught engaged in such operations. But it seems that a caucus of the opposition members of the last Le gislature appointed an F.xecutive Committee for the party. (Democrats appoint such committees in open convention. ) Well, this opposition Kx ecutive Committee claim the power to appoint the time for holding the opposition convention in this State; but the Raleigh Register and others object to their right to make such appointment. So it will bo seen that the democratic party IS not the cj m the town of Gaston, above Raleigh, only one that has family quarrels. But the whig . papers take good care not to denounce their own caucusses. It is a great crime for democrats to hold meetings and conventions, but all right for the opposition ! It is said that this opposition Executive Com mittee has been trying to caucuss Mr Syine out of thc editorial chair of the Raleigh Register they want to get clear of hi:n and put some one else in his place. We have not heard what objection they have to Mr Syme for an opposition editor, we thought he was doing pretty well. A dainty mouthful. Two men named John Shaw and Thomas Boswell got into a fight last week at a ;rog shop in Gaston county, and Boswell bit Shaw in his side, taking out a piece about the size of a half dollar. Shaw subsequently shot Bos well in thc shoulder, because the latter was about to knock him on the head with a rock. WU. Her.

A few weeks ago we showed that the Argus was wrong, that it was pur suing an unfair course, and contrasted two of its as sertions (one made before the election, the other after) which somewhat exposed its inconsistency ; but that paper finds it convenient to remain silent on those points now, and seeks to draw attention from them by talking about things foreign to the issue. We cannot let our cotemporary escape in that way we don't want to be hard upon it, and under other circumstances we in Petersburg Va. last ' would bc " tiling to let it on, but the Argus benavea so r"" ' I ..... . .. ,, a . . badly in tbe late canvass, aud is generally so aousn e, that it must really pardon us for insisting upon a re traction and a promise to do better.

We fondly entertain the hope that our cotemporary is not mad or excited, but if so, we guess it don"t make much difference.

A gentleman -ho has lately travelled over a considerable portion of South-west Mississippi, writes as follows of the crops in that section : I have just returned from a trip through middle and Western Mississippi, and took special pains to examine the crops in the region through which I passed. The com crops are tolerably good, generally, but in some neighborhoods they are bad. But thc cotton the great Southern staple is positively bad, owing to the dry weather in the growing season. In some places they will not make more than half a crop, and some of the best-planters in Western Mississippi, with whom I am personally acquainted, will not make more than one third of a crop, or more than a third as much as they did last year. New Orleans, Sept. 20. The latest accounts from Texas report good rains through the region that had suffered from drought, and the crops were improving. T. J.
