FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1828. jjy'A Farmer" will appear in our next paper. 0hi reply to the inquiry of "A," tve answer, that the Representative of -his District is not the author of an ''Extract of a letter from a Member of Congress to the Editor" published a icw weeks since in this paper. Yc arc requested to announce Rice I). Pierce, Esq. as a candidate to rep resent the county of Halifax in the II. of Commons of the next General As sembly of this State. Crops, S?c. The fanners in this vici nity aie harvesting their wheat, which we understand does not realise their ex prctations, having suffered severely from the rust; the disappointment, however, is not great as they cultivate but little wheat. The fruit generally has also been blasted but our great staples cot ton and corn look very promising. Should the season hereafter prove propi tious, and the productions of the soil find a t!erable market, we ma- anticipate a total removal in a few months of those pecuniary embarrassments, which since the commencement of the present year have borne so heavily on the people of this ond the adjoining counties, and per ha, s vc may venture to add throughout the State. From what we can iearn, the prospect in different sections of this State is equally animating the Salisbu ry Carolinian says," "Every thing is plenty but fruit; there are a few, very few, apples; but no peaches, and but ve ry little other fruit of any description. But we shall have the substantiate of life without stint." The Cape Fear Re corder says: "The rice fields give hopes ot a plentiful harvest; and letters from the back country state that the wheat crops are very promising." The fol lowing paragraph from the Richmond inquirer, also gives a cheering account cf the agricultural prospects in Virginia: "The Winchester Virginian of the 6th, states thnt "the approach ing harvest promises to be one of the mon abundant that has crown ed the labors of the husbandman for many years." The last Pe tersburg Old Dominion says: "the heat, except that portion of it in this section of country, lately in undated by the great fall of rain which we noticed a few days ago, never looked better, and promises !he planters a harvest indeed. We understand, that it is proba te wheat will start at from 35 t0 95 cents." From the Baltimore Patriot. It is stated in the Richmond Compiler, that a large and res pectable meeting has been held in Culpepper county, Va. the. ob ject of which was to "form an As sociation to encourage the wear ing of clothing manufactured in "ur own tamilies, and for the pro motion of domestic economy." .".uujj, it win readilv sug gest itself to our readers, orVinS ted in feelings hostile to the Ta riff. Indeed, the editor of the Culpepper Gazette intimates as much, when, remarking upon the subject, he says, the system re commended by the meetino- is "calculated to resist the operation and remove the complaints of the Tariff." v Counterfeits. X recent disco very has been made in the interi or of South-Carolina, that the one and two dollar bills of the Bank of the State of Georgia have been altered to represent $20, $50, and 100. Specie Payments. We learn from an unquestionable source (one of the Directors) that the State Bank of North-Carolina has paid, during the last four weeks, Specie, Drafts on the North, Notes of the Bank of the United States, and Notes of other Banks equally as good, to the amount of upwards of 100,000 dollars. We mention this as an act of justice to the Bank, in consequence of the late publications in the Star on the subject of the depreciation of the local Bank Notes.- Raleigh Star. TheTartff. The Millcdgeville (Geo.) uthron remarking on the probable ef- L Ul lc i arm on tne rouinern aiaics, observes: "We must now turn ourselves to other means and other defences, con Mtutional indeed, but at the same time 'ith spirit pushing resistance to the ve ry bounds of ihe Constitution" and deludes as follows: "And for this purpose we would Commend that a Congress as ernble, from all the States oppo se I to a protecting tariff, in order Revise and recommend to the itiorcnt Legislatures and people, ?i 1 casures, consistent with 10 Constitution, as may seem est calculated to protect them the operations of the Tariff tyntl prevent the introduction use of the tarificd articles in ,t0,r respective States." From the Raleigh Star. Truth and fair argument a gainst falsehood and sophistry. We announce to the public, that we have now in the press, and shall shortly publish "The case of the Six Mihtia-men fairly stated, with an appendix of public docu ments and other papers," a pam phlet prepared by order of the Central Jackson Committee. This publication is calculated, we think, to expose the falsehood and mis representation of the "Official Record," as a certain pamphlet lately issued at the office of the Raleigh Register is strangely mis named. We invite the attention of all fair and impartial men to this subject, and fear not that they will be entirely satisfied, by the perusal of the pamphlet we are about to publish, that Gen. Jack son has been, in relation to the transaction in question, most foul ly calumniated, and a most wick ed attempt made to impose upon the understandings of the good people of this State. Our friends from a distance can be supplied -with any number of this publication, if orders are promptly forwarded, at the rate of einit dollars per liunarea copies. Generals Macomb and Scott. We learn from a credible source, that Gen. Scott has refused to obey the orders of Gen. Macomb, and has demanded to be tried by a Court Martial. We are aware that many persons familiar with questions of military rank and precedency, are of the opinion that Gen. Scott is the superior of ficer, and entitled to common pen. Macomb, instead of obeying hlS Orders. Withniif orttvrinrr oti an into the merits of this question, which is now in a fair way to be decided, we take this opportunity to remark, that our Administra tion seem to be as unfortunate in the management of our military establishment as in other depart ments of public business. A sort of fatality appears to attend then?, every thing they meddle with gets into disorder our negociations with foreign courts, our commer cial relations, our plans of legisla tion for the protection of supposed domestic interests, our national revenue, our projects of combina tion with the new Republics of! me ooutn, in short, every thing ot importance upon which they have laid their hands. Our army es tablishment has now got into a confusion from which we fear it will be somewhat difficult to ex tricate it. A little seasonable firmness and direct management, we should imagine might have prevented it. Instead of suffer ing Gen. Scott and Gen. Gaines to get into a war of words about the question which was the supe rior officer, to abuse each other in prist and to disgrace themselves and the body to which they be long, a Court Matial should have been called and the question promptly settled. In that case the President would have after wards found no difficulty in deci ding between the pretensions ofj fecott and Gaines when they be came candidates for the vacant place of Commanding General. To avoid making this decision on the death of Gen. Brown, the Pre sident went out of the regular course of promotion, and appoint ed Gen. Macomb, a step which does not seem likely to lessen the difficulty. New- York Ev. Post. Lightning. The Milton Gaz ette states that on the 8th inst. a negro house, a few miles over in Virginia, was struck by lightning: there were six negroes in it, one of whom was instantly killed, and the others completely stunned.
