Feeling assured that misapprehensions have gone abroad in regard to the recent Revival of Religion in Louisburg, we wish to make a few statements, for the in formation of those who would like to know the acts. And first, the meeting began on Friday night, and closed the next Sunday night week, including in all nine days. The Monday after it commenced was observ ed by the citizens of the village and vicin ity as a day of fasting and prayer, on ac count of the drowth, and in this observ ance, we thought proper to unite. To this we have heard no objection. Of course then it will be seen there were on ly four regular School days included in the time during which the meeting con tinued; and upon these the Exercises of the Schools went regularly on as at other times, except that the morning sessions closed about a half an hour sooner than usual, though never until the classes had recited, and the proper woi k of the morn ing been disposed of; and the Exercises of the Male Department went on for a, portion of the time Monday morning, and were discontinued Friday evening. From these statements it will appear that the students did not lose a single day in consequence of the Revival. So much for the lost time. In the second place, we wish to state- that no persuasions were used by u, or by any one else, so far as we arc aware, apart from the regular sermons and exhor tations at the church, to induce the stu dents to go forward as mourners. They were simply permitted to go to church at their own request, and left to their own sense of propriety and of duty while there; and the young Ladies of the Fe male Seminary were even advised not to go, if they knew their parents and friends would disapprove it, as there were other methods of seeking Religion, w hen they became interested in the subject. The ministers having charge of the meeting were prudent, cautious men; very exten sively known, and of very high standing: and all undue noise or excitement in the church was carefully avoiJed. After the meeting closed, those who had made a profession of Religion were directed to write home at once to their parents and friends, stating frankly and candidly their feelings and views, and asking their ad vice as to what course they should pursue whether they thought it best that they defeated them in every instance. Unfor tunately, however, fifty of Lopez's men, what church they preferred. We have always been careful to avoid who had separated from the main hodv.i Ringing before our pupils any suhject of , , , , , t ' a Sectarian character, and this course we were uvereuine oy a large uouy 01 opan ish troops, after a desperate resistance expect ever to pursue while we continue to occupy our present position; and we end subsequently shot, among whom feel very confident that these Schools are was Lt.

Their execution is encc as any Sc,lools car be from uhich Religion is not altogether excluded We have made these statements with a perfect thus described by an eye witness: I never saw men and could scarcely have supposed it possible conduct them selves at such an awful moment with the fortitude these men displayed under such trying circumstances. They were shot six at a time, tied, twelve were brought to the place of execution, six made to kneel down and receive the fire of the soldiers, after which the remaining six were made to walk round their dead corn- knowledge of all the circumstances, and after mature deliberation, and we chal lenge contradiction.

Rain -There has been an abundance of rain in this section of the country re cently. In addition to numerous show ers, a storm came upon us on Saturday last, which continued through that and the following days, accompanied by much wind, during which a large quantity of rain fell. The branches and creeks aie very full, and Neuse river is already nav igable for steam boats.

We learn that only $25;000 of the $100,000 will be taken, to be paid in iron, and that $75,000 still remain unsubscrib ed.

We have recently been visited by heavy rains; and corn, which ten days ago to all appearances could yield nothing, is now piomising beyond the expectations of the most experienced. Larly corn, it is true, was too far spent before the rains; but we have seen many fields that will, if we are not greatly mis taken, yield an average crop. The pros pect is daily becoming brighter. If the rains continue for a month, meadows will yield an excellent swath, which will save many bushels of corn in feeding horses. It is said, too, by those who observe such things, that many of our forest trees are loaded with acorns enough, it is hoped, to make pork with but little corn.
