DEAR SIR
Withoutany premnares |, propose to give you
brief view Of men and things, of the past, present,
and to come.
Capt. Tyler was hung IN efligy few dnys ago,
and if boots, pantaloons, and other wearing apparel
can be identified as we believe they all have been,
then the odium ofsuch deed, so disgraceful to the
party concerned, so obnoxious to the spirit of true
republican principles, will restwhere in deed and in
truth properly belongs. | do not pretend to say
who ,or what party engaged in this contemplate
and nefarlOus affair." but do say and believe ii too
(and am not alone) that no true wing ordemocrat
who loves the maintenance of wholesome laws and
good order, are blameable in this matter.
The STATE literary association met here last week,
and in session two days. Able literary addresses
were made, but the number in attendance was
small. There Is altogether too much apathy existing
on the subject ollterature In this State and nation,
and it is ardently hoped, that you may in few
months, give this subject an impetus and life which
it has never yet experienced in this country. Pro-
lessor Bronson, well known throughout the country
as learned and scientific lecturer, is in town
He has delivered his fourth lecture. and lar has
called out respectable house; his lectures are not
only interesting and musical, bar instructive IN IA
eminent deg-ee. His notions OF Physiology, illus
trated by the "Manakin," are a IN Xture OF mater
mind rObtnse truths, touch OF the marvellous and
with all laterspersed with that commodity but
seldom found nowadays, VIZ: humbug.
The "Auburn Guards, fine and well drilled
Company OF Infantry, commanded by Capt Jesse
Segolne, formerly OF New York cy,wili leave mere
today, camp duty, distance OF - miles, mere
they propose TO remain three days, One thing Is 10
be regretted, the flower of the COMPANY, Lieutenant
Il, is absent, and is not expected 70 arrive in
time to accompany them. A deficiency he makes
which cannot well be filed
The two cOnvlcts that ESCAPED from our PRISON by
scaling the walls about 10 IL days ago axe vet at
large, rlsticatng probably for ,ler health. Look
out for them at the fashionable watering qlaceS but
fear the mineral waters Of Avon. Saratoga, NC.
will hardly cure those who are "dead la respas as
and sins"
Believe me, DIR. Bennett, the hard old fashioned
MEXICAN round dollars are scarce with us, and but
few OF us have any hng'over The times, the times
Oh dear me, the hard times are yet spoken o. with an
intense feeling, running down about as low as the
pocket. When ah when will these things come to
an end! have observed one thing, that mer
chants who do business on the cash principle, Gust
as your honor does) have done and all doing
markably well, while credit stoles anguish
ing. What is The cause They sell for large profits,
trust and get trusted What is the remedy Buy for
cash, sell at small advances, and cell for cash.
Wheat Is worth from Is to S. per bushel;
tremendous crop has been realised, and plenty Of
new wheat in market Our principal wheat buyer
is Eleazor Hills, Esq, heavy merchant, and an
enterprlsing business maa. Corn after all is too
backward TO promise much of crop, so farmers tell
me universally. The weather has been quite cool
for the past ten days, more like October than Au-
gust. Yours, per Sc, O. o. O.
