Even the glowing bloom of the peach could not delude us with the belief that it was spring, and the piping notes of a few harely songsters in vain essayed tt keep up the fraud. Farmers say that the weather of last week was more damaging than any of the winter. The cattle seemed tt suf fer meire, and looked mora pinched and starved than ever before. The wheat ami oats received a serious set back. Jn tin; gardens there was nothing to hurt, for there is nothing above the ground. It remains to be seen whether the peach crop i injured or not. A loss of that is a real calamity, not only in the deprivation of t he luxury of 'the fruit but in the desl ruction of an im portant source of revenue from dried rnit. The shipments ef dried fruit in a favorable ye ar from the Hill.boro station amounts to -e.mt-thing over half a million pounds, mid the high j ana increasing repute of North Caroli- n.'i dried fruit, in the western makets always neirthern and rr.snre'H hir prices. This is another of the items eif m-o 1 net ion whiedi so eminentlvdistinguish the county of Orange as a region of va rieel resources. Cotton, tobacco, the cereals, grapes, fruits, a lair sprinkling of minerals, wa'er power, readiness of access, and unexampled healthfnlness, all combined, must at some elay, per haps not distant, make her the empire county of the State. Major Piobt. Bingham, of the Bing ham School, was in town on Saturday. I am glael to learn from him the very nourishing condition of the Institu tion. There are now eighty-one pupils in attendance, a striking proof that the s -hexil retains the confidence which it has so long enjoyed. Majeu-B., among other tilings sug gestetl in conversation, sjioke ef the books prepareel by his brother, the late Col. William Bingham. It allbrdeel another instance of that want eif appre ciation of everything North Carolinian, so characteristic of our people. Wiiile the widow of Col. B. d .-rives a hand some revenue from the copyright eif the Latin Grammar and other "books prepareel by her husband, arising from the; use ef those books by the common schools of Missouri, Kentucky auel other Western States, and, perhaps, some of the Northern States, the se ries is scarcely known auel rarely usee! in North Carolina. If our school system is ever iixed upon a permanent basis, it is to bo hopeel that State pride, fortified by the enelorscmeut of other authority, will substitute Col. Bingham's series as far as they go, for others new in use. Some little signs of the growing spirit of improvement begin te) mani fest themselves. Dr. O. Hooker has removed into a new drug store, just finished. The buildiuer is of brick. two stories in height anel sixty feet deep, with a front of thirty-three feet. Tho store room is handsomely llnisheel and litteel up, and is a long stride iu the march of regeneration. E. JL Payne has also cornpleteel a large plug tobacco factory, opposite the site ed" tho old Howerton hotel, so well known to former visitors of this place, and began work on Monday with a large force. The tlry weather of last week was a bael one for the tobacco warehouse men, and sales were small. Tobacco was too dry to be handleel with safety or proiit. I am glad to say tha1; your towns man, Cupt. John Li. Wooster has much improved in health since his visit to Ilillsboro, ami I hope will go back to his home a thoroughly renovated man. He furnishes another proof of the in vigorating effects of our climate. Yours, C. Krom thi Savannah New-?. Ut'KKUL'S ISOO.11. THE It) lite lIi:iroli JUt-ii.'

A meeting was held iu the town of Hillsbcro, which lasted two days, Oct. 20th and 21st, J821. Three sermons were preached each day in the Court House. M eny were deeply affected. After preaching Sabbath morning, the Sacrament of the Eorel's Supper was, probably for the last time in this place by a Methodist minister, admin istered. On the evening eif this elay, such was the man-festat on of the pow er and good noss oi G,.,l. that pel haps thirty weie i rostia!. d to the il or un der :.n okfi'whfiming sense of ii.-i pre- :i;v, most of whom were earnest ly fciomiing under a sense of their con demnation and supplicating for merev I I . . jr - t in me name oi jfsns.

Ilillsboro Las been notorious for its infielelity aud iiielifference to Chris tianity; but since the Camp Meeting tlie general subject of conversation is religion. Befetre, we were searcelv known among the people, having only two cuurcu memoers in tne place1, (Ur. Strnd wick's mother and Mr. Bacon.) but now we have forty, anel our tloc trines are daily gaining ground. We opened a subscription for the purpose of raising funds to build a house of worship, and have eibtaineel very lib eral donations; so that we shall suc ceed in the establishment ejf a perma nent congregatiem, evea in Hillsbor ough. Indeed the people now wonder that we Lave been so long arounel about them, and yet have been so lit tle known to them. They are now very solicitous to reael our books, and to become thoroughly acquainted with the doctrines and eliscipliue of our church, and we hope they will be fully gratilieel in these respects.

The noise seemeel to be under the ground in a small valley between what is calleel the Remnel and the Stoie- Mountains, though I coulel not exactly determine the legality. Sometimes the shocks are very heavy, acconipanieel by sounds similar to the eletonations of artillery anel the earth is shaken for miles arounel. A very perceptible movement is seen among the trees when the vibrations take place, and the houses are sufficiently jarred to arouse children from their nightly slumber, when they manifest tlmir fright by cries and screams. The sound is more elestiuctly heard in the valley than any other place. The people vho live in the vicinity are very mrch alarmed, anel many of them are preparing to emigrate. A protrac teel meeting is in progress in the imme diate neighborhood, anel upwarels of forty persons have professed religion and jeiineel the Baptist church, the only elenomination in this section. Prayer meetings prevail, in which all take an active part, from the worst sinners to the best anel purest Chris tians. I attended one ol these meet ings, anel feel safe in saying that it was the first religious assembly I ever witnesseel where every one was so deeply interesteel in the salvation of the soul. If this noise is followed by no destructive eruption, it will be a good thing for these people in a reli giems peiiut eif view.

As 1 did liert visit the locality for the express purpose ot writing an eiaDor ate account of this interesting subject, vein must excuse this hasty anel inde- linite narration ef what I witnessed. T. K. D. The Washington corresjjondent of the St. Louis J-U jjiiblicaa writes, un- date of Mare-h 11 : "Almoat be fore the warmth hael left Senator Stun ner's corpse to-day, Butler hael sent telegrams to all hia henchmen in Mas sachusetts in relation to the succession. His eibjee-t is not so much to elect him self, for he knows that wouhl be im possible, but he represents the White House; in this action upen this matter." I he epie stion of Sumner's successor is being agitate-el in Massachusetts, anel the probability is that the coiite t will be an exceeelingly bitter one. It is thought the election will occur on the 2Uh inst. The employment of the velocipedes by com m i sxionnai res in France has led to the formation of a company or society to supply these locomotives on credit, like sewing machines, clothing and pianos, repayable by installments. Ex perience has found that such messen gers outstrip cabs, and indeed, per haps, the telegraph itself and postal cards. Strong and light young por ters,provided with a flagon of good oil in their vest pocket, can turn twenty francs a day, nearly as much as a dep uty, anel far more than a hrst class Government clerk, a captain on full pay, or a clergyman earns. A striking instance of the influence of the press in opening up new ave nues for commerce is seen in the in-e-re?ase of the trade of Baltimore with northern Europ. A report setting forth the commercial uel vantages of that port was not long since copied ex tensively in the Danish. Norwegian, Sweelish and Russian papers, anel the result is that there are now some thirty vessels at sea, mostly Sweelish anel Norwegian, bounel for Baltimore, .i t,Lt - e..: 'Ts f fhor.e nationalities are now in port at present, ildiiny vessels hitherto trading to New York, are said to be now bestowing their f avers upon Baltimore.

KEVIEW OF THE WILMINGTON- MARKETS, tor the Ytr.rii TIBI'KSS1V. COMMEIICIATj EPITOME. There lias lepii a m-derale degree of activity in general trade during the week, thoupii ciimplaint of 'dull times" is frequently lie?ard. Tlie weather Las ljptni cold and rainy furnishing very little indication eif the arrival of a spring lnemih. There is little or no change in tho general commercial nit ualiein. The Spring trade elraga along slowly.liuj-en s "of merchandise" still ad-he-ring to the hand to mouth policy. The Commercial I.ixl in speaking of tho general outlook and tlie reasons why business is so backwarel savs : "This, it is well understooel, is a consequence of the dilatory course of Congress on the financial question, and that boelv will be romineled of its elere liciion of duty by a public meeting of the mercnants of this city next week. As the case now stands, business men have no reliable basis for calculations, and are therefor reluctant to push their enterprises. Those who woukl buy are naturally apprehensive that values will receele ; and theise who woulel sell cannot, satisfy themselves that within a given time values will not increase. The importer is uncertain whether he will have to adel more or less to his in voice figures, anel the jobber for a kin elreel reason waits for the fixing of the currency at some standard of value on which he can rely. Manufacturers elo not knew how mue-h to produce for a market on which ne reliance is to be placeel, anel so the currency is respon sible for their comparative inactivity. Tho ramifications of the retail traele throughout tho country obey, of course, the samo kigical law. Meanwhile, money continues to accumulate at all the loading centres of traele, because of the lar;k of profitable employment for it. It is hoped that the merchants' meeting will have the effect to incito Congress to deiinitely fix the volume of currency, anel thusenablethe Spring traele te procccil. There is no hope whatever that anything is to be elono towards tho restoration of the currency to a sound basis, but even contraction woulel be far better than the prevail ing suspense." The epiestion of why "traele should improve is also receiving the atten tion of the Commercial press. We can set forth no argument for Wil mington, because wo aro governoel en tirely by the course of trade in the northern cities, but in order that our reaelers may know the opinion of the press why it ' shoulel improve" we give place to the following article on the subject from tho Cincinnati Conuiter f iol Jicvirw A- Price Current. In tho last issue of tho J'ricc Cur rent some of the causes of the expres sion in business all over the country were noticed, anel the remedy pointed out. It says : "We may now consider what reasons there aro why the extremely cautious policy which has characterizeel the tinile of the country during the last few months shoulel be relaxed, at least to a moderate elegree. In the first place, stocks of goods in the country have run el own to a low point. Mer chants have bought lrom hand to mouth in nearly U lines of business, anel even if they continue tlr's policy the'ir requirements will ferce them to make more frequent purchases, be cause tliey have not se much steck to elraw upon as thpy hael when they commenced it.

The offerings, however, have not been large, but suf ficient for the demand.

There was not much annimatiou in spirits turpentine during the ealier part of the week, anel the market, (without an exception.) was devoiel of any appear auce of lifo or spirit, nor were there any indications of an immediate im orovement.

Thursday 1 IIOSIN Tho Itosin market contin ueel quiet and irregular eluring the earlier part of the week, but there was an under current of activity in the lower graeles, which argued well for an inereaseel business later in the week. This under current was not manifest in the open market, but was to be seen in tha eagerness which buy ers quietly displayed in making their purchases. The lower grades moveel along slowly up to Wednesday, fluc tuating from SI 80 to $1 85 anel the reverse, but on this elay there was a large order on the maiket from an exporter anel prices were advanceel 5 cants. Tho receipts have fallen off to about 1,800 bbls perday, including very heavy city manufacture. The exports have about equalleel the receipts and there is no material alteratiem iu the stock of last week. The supply of tonnage is increasing by elaily arrivals of vessels of large capacity, anel the maiket as a whole presents a stronger feeling than when we last wrote. At the "Exchange" this week, there has been a good attendance daily, but there was very little done in the way of sales. The conditiem of the market at different periods, with the sales for the week ending were as follows: Friday, the first elay under review, strained opeueel inactive at SI SO.

The new crop is being mar keted to a Lrge extent and we have probably received its bulk. There is a good enquiry from elealers for ex port and the ejuotations given to-day will readily be paid for good lots. Tho following are the quotations: Oidinary $1 70 1 SO Prime 2 102 15 Extra rrime 2 252 35 Fancy 2 402 60 PROVISIONS The provision mar ket has exhibited a firmer tone during the week, and there has been a small advance in Western cured meats as also in Carolina bacon. The Western advices are stronger, and as the pork packing season is about elraw ing to a close auel dealers can form an estimate of their crop to work on theie is a general tendency to "bull" rather than bear the market at present. From tho Cincinnati Price Current we clip the following article of the Western market: The general tone of the mnrket has been strong all tho week, and prices sustained a further aelvance of (Vo. per pound on all articles, under a gooel consumptive elemand and a stronger market in New York. The foreign ex ports from all ports for tho week ending Saturday, March 7, while below those for tho correspond ing week last year, were larger than had been anticipated, auel contributed its influence toward strengthening the market. The consumptive demanel has improved somewhat, and the sta tistics show that the shipments are quite liberal, the amounts of orders coming elirect to paekera being satis factory, ami indicating that the domes tic consumption is steadily reducing stocks. But to-elay there was a partial reaction, aud more disposition te real ize at the current prices, and iu some instances therr were sales at Jc. below the highest point of the week, with epjite liberal offerings at the close, auel less elemand than has prevailed for sev eral days, either for present or future elelivery. liie loiiowing are tne ruling quotations in the provision mar ket : North Carolina Bacon se-lls at 9 10 cents for shoulders, 12eVft 12.'. eents for sides, 1212J ee'nfs for hog round and 15ev16 cents for hams.
