The. prospects of the Democrats have inoreased latterly and. many persons are ..quite certain of the election Of Ewing ' and .', Rice. The! latter is re ported,in a special to the Washington P6stt asvbeing quite confident of the triumph of tho,: Democracy. He thinks there is a silent but powerful ! nnder-ourient flowing strongly in our favor.5 He thinks . the Democrats will carry the Legislature ; beyond a doubt. , He thinks , 25,000 of the Greenback-Labor-Reform party will be thrown . for the Demboraoy. I He says this will . oertainly elect Ewing unless there is great defection in the Democratic ranks. Well, in a week from now , .we shall probably know more than Gen Rice knows now about the election. ' That North Carolina has the rich est of treasures buried beneath : her soil has been long known to our peo ple. Possibly, persons at a distance are not intorraed as to tne great wealth of her mineral resources. Mr. Edison's agent, Mr. W. E. Hid den, has been visiting many places in Western Carolina. We eopied from the Charlotte Observer into our State columns days ago-what Mr. Hidden said of our resources. It will do to copy again in this place: "lie has found two metals, zircon and samarskite, in considerable quantities, both of which can be used with great ad vantage by Mr. Edison. The former pos sesses the peculiar quality of infusibility in the electric light, which may be of the highest importance to the famous inventor. Mr. Hidden also discovered a mineral, anastase, which was not hitherto known to exist in this State, and another which is entirely unknown to the scientific world. He remarked, in the course of tbe conver sation, that North Carolina was absolutely tbe best field fur minerals in the world; that nowhere is there anything like the va riety which she furnishes, and, as a rule, tbey are by tar the most perfect specimens known' There is not the slightest doubt of tbe failure to reestablish the South ern Republican Association in Wash ington. The men who had it in hand, as tbe Stab predicted, could not weather the storm. Tbey were for the most - part r broken down party " hacks of tbe scalawag kind, or impe cunious carpet-baggers who bad failed to get rich pome how in spite of "the good stealing," as one of them said of South Carolina. Tbe Washington correspondent of that stalwart sheet, the Baltimore American, says ofthe results of the effort referred to above: "Nearly all the office holders who par ticipated in the preliminary meetings have abandoned the project in disgust, and nothing, remains of the movement but a half-dozen veteran office-seekers, who ap pear determined to organize for no- other purpose than to further their personal in terests. They will doubtless endeavor to make as much noise as can possibly be ex pected from six or seven hungry men." A New York letter of the 4th in stant says of the trade outlook: "General trade has been very active throughout tbe week, both wholesale and retail. A noticeable feature is the increase of foreign importations, especially dry goods of the more costly kind, such as silks, velvets, etc. This is accepted by some as a proof that our people are again drifting back into extravagant habits. The opti mists, on the contrary, contend that it sim ply shows they are in a position to ; obtain more of tbe luxuries of life than at aBy time since the panic. The activity iu the iron trade continues, but prices are now so high that more caution is observed. Hides and leather, boots and shoes, drugs and cheml cals.are all doing well, as likewise the vari ous markets that are -represented at the Produce Exchange." Evarts says Hayes offered him the English mission, but he means to re main where he is. He does not feel flattered at the President's effort to get him out of the Cabinet, and does not believe that he really wishes him to go. ; He thinks he is a victim of a conspiracy, and that the main plotter is John Sherman. The Baltimore American's Washington correspon dent says a well-known journalist as sures him that he got this from Evarts himself. . The" papers are writing . so much about Judge Settle if they do , not mind they will nominate him yet for something1. , The Richmond State has this notice of "our Torn:" "Settle, of North Carolina, who aspires to be the tail-piece of the Grant ticket, be lieves that now that Grant has had his 'rest and recreation he may be prevailed " upon to accept a third term, and no doubt to this complexion it will 8ettle down at last." We believe that the "Jedge" hails from Florida now. ay,1 :.. , . . inH.- " There was a marked falling off in the shipments for Europe1 last week from New York.

' That paper says the dividing1 line between the old and new year in " the Pea-' nut trade is the first of October. Ordi narily the -harvest . begins ; Jo j Tennessee, about the middle of September, in North Carolina about the second week inOctober, and in Virginia about the last of Septem ber: These three States produce about all of the Peanuts which are consumed in ' the United States. There are some grown in other sectiou80f the8outb, but merely , for home consumption, and there are a few imported from Africa, but not enough to be considered in a review Of the trade. : The peanut year of 1878-9 epened with the Norfolk, Va4 and WUmington, NJ C, markets nearly bare of stock, while in Cin cinnati there were about 35,000 bushels of the old crop on hand. The year, as a whole, has been a moderately profitable one for dealers in all sections of the coun try. The aggregate crop was a' larger one than that of the preceding year, but the old stock on band at the beginning was smaller, and it has been found that the sup ply was not excessive. The actual crop of 1878-79 foots up as follows: Bushels. Virginia.... 875,000 Tennessee 425,000 North Carolina 90,000 ToUl ...1,390,000 Nearly the whole of the crop of peanuts produced in North Carolina, says the Prue I Current, finds its primary market in Wil mington, and from there it is distributed mainly to the Northwest. The qualities proved to be fair during tbe past year, and the average price realized by the planters was $1 10 per bushel of twenty-eight lbs., or a trifle under 4c per pound. The ave rage price for the preceding year was 85c per bushel. Tbe comparison of the North Carolina crop for five years is given below: Bushels: 1878-9 90,000 1877- 8... 100,000 1878- 7. 125,000 1875-6 100,000 1874-5. 120,000 TotaL..

The aggregate value of the peanut crop of 1878-9, in first hands, was $1,500,000. The movement in Cincinnati for the year is given at a glance, as follows: Bushels.
