It has a correspondent at Columbus who seems to be as well posted as any one can be at this stage of the canvass. This cor respondent makes out, from an actual canvass of the State, made by the Democratic managers, that Hoadly's majority will not be less tfian 1 1,600 net. As concerns the outlook for the Legislature, the correspondent says : The only apprehension, on tho part of the Democratic leaders of the State at this time is the uncertainty of carrying tho Legislature, owing to local dissen sions in Hamilton county. The election of Judge Hoadly is as nearly assured as such an event can be in advance of . tho casting and counting of the ballots. Ifthe differences inHamilton county are adjusted so as to unite the Democratic votes there upon a single legislative ticket, then the Legislature is assured to the Democracy beyond a perad venture. But even without the Hamilton county delegation there is a reasonable chance of carrying the Legislature, since it is quite certain that the next largest coun ty, Cuyahoga, will send a full Demo cratic delegation both to the Senate and the House. The present Senate stand eleven Democrats to twenty-two -Re publican. The Democrats will gain at least six Senators, giving them a ma jority of one.

Railroad at Warsaw, in Duplin county, this morning, there was a box of corn awaiting shipment to the Boston Expo sition. There were quite a number of stalks which would average 16 feet in length, with,the ears of corn on them jast as they grew in the field. We did not learn whose farm they grew ;upon further than that they were raised in Sampson county, where they raise a "smart chance" of "mighty" good corn, even when they have what they term a "sorry crop." The fact is, Sampson county may justly pride her self on raising good farmers and frugal housewives, i robust sons, beautiful daughters and as good crops as grow out of door?. r I The Opera House.

She has recover ed and will appear to-night. Mr. Joseph Frank, the genial and efficient man ager of the company, informs us that the success attending the presentation of the play in the South has been almost phenomenal. :- Puospliate Rock. The recent discovery of phosphate rock at Castle Hayne and Rocky Point has caused considerable comment and investigation as to its value as a fertiliz ing agent, to take the place of the more expensive fertilizers. In order to obtain the highest known authority upon such matters, Mr. G. Z. French, of the latter place, has written to Sir John B. Lawes, the eminent agricultural chem ist, of England, and has received a reply in which that distinguished gentleman agrees with the chemists of this country, that the presence of so much carbonate of lime will make it too expensive to treat j the rock with j 6ulphurie acid, but is of the opinion that when calcined and slaked, "the hos 1 phate in that form would be : available for vegetation Mr. French is making arrangements to so prepare it and will put it on i the market a3 "Carbo Phos phate. As it can pe furnished yery cheap, there is no doubt that it will come into general use as a fertilizer. . - '-. -A fine assortment of Guns and Pistols at Jacobi's Hardware Depot. f t -... i- NEW AyiraTISEamNTS.

He walked out upon the jetty where he found that, in some places the force of the waves had been so great as to move some of the heavy granite cap stones, but not so far that tney : could be quite easily replaced. In one or two places the cap stones had settled down bodily about a foot, which wa3 caused undoubtedly by the .' action of, the sea washing the sand from under the foun daiion stones.
