Comet ion.
Since the publication of our last paper,
we learn that a Committee was appointed
by the Edgecombe Agricultural Society,
at its January meeting, to ascertain the
crop of cotton of Edgecombe county, in
the year 1850. VVe are informed by a
member of the Committee, that although
reports have not been made from every
part of the county, yet sufficient informa
tion has been received, to justify the Com
mittee in saying, that the crop of 1S50
will exceed 5000 bales. The crop of this
year is remarkably good, and in quantity
planted will exceed the last from one-
third to one-half. , "
The census of,lST30, (3300 bales) refers
tn tho oron of 1S49. There was also a
...
ty pographical error in the names of the
I'Jessrs. Howell, which should have been
the Messrs. Ilarrell.
tween China and California, aiid at each
departure of ships for the Celestial Em
pire, its children here send off to their
friends, beyond the Pacific, gieat numbers
of California papers. It may be seen from
this how intercourse is increasing and
knowledge extending. The day of fen
cing the world and information out of
China, has forever passed away. The
glitter of our gold has passed the gates of
the cousin ol the sun and moon, and the
diciples of Confucius are coming and have
come to qualify his philosophy with the
wisdom of Washington and the utility of
Franklin.
Gradually their wooden shoes give way
to the manufactures of Lynn, and kindle
a fire for barbecuing a rat dinner. The
long queu eventually passes away before
thctonsorial scissors, and stuffs a saddle
or is woven into a laria. The yard wide
nankeen unmentionable are found unsuil
ed to our windy climate and dearer fash
ions, and are succeeded by a much bene
fit. Mats and other American garment
succeed, and soon the chief distinction
consists in the copper color, the narrow
angular eyes, the peculiar gibberish, and
beardless faces. When these national
costumes shall have passed away, national
prejudices, whether of politics, morals oi
religion, are certainly on their road to
amalgamation. The China Boys will yet
vote at the same polls, study at the same
school, and bow at the same Altars asjaur
own countrymen.
Homicide.
On Sunday week last, a - free negro
named Portis and a slave belonging to
Ir. Denj. Dicken of this county, had a
fight after gambling, when Poriis was
killed by the slave, who absconded and
has not yet been taken.
Arrest oj Crooks. Adam Crooks, the
notorious abolition lecturer from Ohio,
was arrested in Montgomery county, N.
C , on Sunday June 15th, and lodged in
the county jail at Troy, to await his trial,
the next term of the Court, for an offence
against the laws of the Stale. It is hop
ed that the Court will deal with this in
cendiary and foreign fanatic, as the out
rage of his acts demand and the public
safely and welfare require.
Prom a late Calif or nid paper.
The China Boys. Quite a number of
the Celestials have arrived among us of
late, enticed hither by the golden romance
which has filled the world. -Scarcely a
ship arrives here that does not bring an
Elopement from California. The
Panama Herald relates the following case
of elopement: A lady at San Francisco,
on the morning of the sailing of the Ten
nessee, was quietly seated reading over the
list of passengers who had engaged pas
sage for Panama, when to her astonish
ed sight there appeared the name of her
husband in the list! Could she believe
her own eves? She knew that her bus
band's trunks were packed and that he
had tnlormed her "he was obliged to 2,0
to Sacramento on business which would
detain him a few days" Startled and
convinced by the truth thus manifested to
her, she concluded to open his trunks.
where she found eight thousand dollars id
hard cash. This she divided taking
S3,000 and leaving 5,000, the "lion's.
share,' which was exceedingly gencrou
on her part. In due time the affectionate
husband bade her good bye, telling hei
he would be back in three or four days,
and little suspecting that she was not on
ly cognizant ot his villainy, but that out
of his means she had provided amply for
crime, and said he richly .deserved death
for he had been a.viliian all his life. He
had twenty wives living .and had killed
sixteen men, and all he was sorry for was,
that he was not permitted to live long c
nough to kill four more. He and the ne
gro Jack were both hung to one tree, and
buried in one grave. Repentance and re
morse were strangers to him. He said
his father and brother were both hung.
lie refused to make any further confession,
as he would implicate many heads of fam
ilies who passed as respectable, and would
thereby leave many widows and orphans,
lie met death without a shudder; was
as cool as a cucumber. He repented of
nothing he had done, and said he would,
(if turned loose,) be as bad as ever, if not
wonte. The only request he had to
make, was not to be put to torture. He
said he wished to be hung and decently
buried."
The End of a Runaway Match.
Runaway matches do not usually produce
those happy consequences the parties gen
erally expect. The very opposite is al
most always the case, notwithstanding the
nonsense upon the subject written by
many editors. Every parent wishes to
sec his daughter properly mated, and
when objection is made, it is generally
from some good cause to be found in the
conduct, habits or principles of the per
sons objected to. The following instance
which we take from a Cincinnati
paper, is full of warning:
Less than a year ago, a young lady,
whose name we need not mention, mar
ried a young gentleman living in Vicks
l)urg, named Harrington, and she did so
decidedly against the will of her parents,

gjPTlie Spiritual, Rappers at New
York are progressing as rapidly as Ohio
Locos. They have' issued a paper enti
tled "Disclosures from the Interior, and
Superior Care for Mortals," and it claims
"that the circle of Apostles and Prophets
are its conductors from the Interior, hold
ing control of its columns, and permitting
no article to find place therein unless o
riginated, dictated or admitted by them,
they acting under the direction of the
