We understand the crops arc uncom monly promising throughout the county. Under the new stimulus imparted to Agri culture within the last few years Edge combe is tapidly rising to the position she is destined in no great while, to attain. that of the first agricultural county in the Slate. An improved system of farm ing is visible every where. Emigration has almost wholly ceased and lands have appreciated in value. The cotton crop, we learn, was scarce!- ever better. The stands are good and the recent hot and dry atmosphere, though deleterious to other field products, has been the natural aliment of the cotton crop. The crop loo is unusually large probably a fourth larger than ever planted before. The census of 18-10 gives as the product of Edgecombe two millions four hundred and forty five thousand pound (2,445,000) of seed cotton. This ac cording to the usual calculation wcuhl make one thousand five hundred and twenty eight (152S) bales weighing four hundred (400) pounds each. In 1S40 Edgecombe stood fifth in the calendar of Cotton producingcountics Anson, North ampton, Columbus and Halifax (in the or der of their names) ranking above her. 'Flu fnnaite nf 'f wn lnun clintvc n nrn. duction of thirty three hundred (3300) hales, or more than one hundred per cent. With favorable seasons from this time for ward wcelieve the crop will reach four thousand (4000) bale.. Corn looks well (especially in Concto) though suffering generally from dry weather. The quantity planted is proba bly less than last season and will con tinue to bear a good price throughout the year. We believe Edgecombe will make little or none for exportation. Burning of the Kail Road Bridge.- On Tuesday night last the Rail Road bridge across Neuse river about two and a half miles below Goldsboro', was entirely con sumed by fire. Light was seen in the direction of the Bridge about half past 10 o'clock, and those who went down to the scene of disaster between eleven and twelve found that it had already fallen in to the river. The train from the South passed over the bridge at 1 o'clock, P. M., and no train had passed over it after that lime. During the afternoon there was an exceedingly heavy fall of rain, and the impression here is that the fire was the work of an incendiary. Arrangements will immediately be made to forward the mails and passengers in time to connect at both ends; so that no detention will be caused by the accident. The loss to the Company will be consid erable; but, with their .usual energy, we have no doubt the bridge will be quickly replaced. The structure just consumed had been repaired a short time since, and was as good as new. Goldsboro' Hep. From the Raleigh Standard. Commencement at "Chapel Hill.

Ruffin volunteered to defend 'his country, and was elected Colonel of one of the Missouri Regiments mustered into service at Fort Leavenworth. Hence hia military title, and hence we may also learn the unbounded confidence with which the Missouri soldiers regarded him, when they chose him for their leader in the momentous strifes of the field of blood." ib. 1 irops are promising backward.
