A NOVEL SCENE.

At the last term Of Craven County
Court, a case Of novel character growing
out Of the probate of the will Of deceas-
cd person late Of this county, came before
the court.
The will was offered for probat, by Mr..
a. aud after the same was admitted TO
probate, Mr.. b. stated that he was instruc-
ted by - the widow Of the teslator, 10
file her dissent TO the same.
Mr.. A-The widow instructed me also
TO file her dissent for her, but her name is
not - she is named -.

do not profess TO know her name, but ms she
says her name is as | have designated il,

Mr.. A.-(Consulting with his elieni.)
! The widow persists 10 retaining her namo
as have called it, and j. would be beet
! that the dissent should be filed in the name
by which she is usually known. Mr.. c.
filed the dissent in the name Of ---.
AT this stage of the proceedings much
in;sres; and curiosity began TO be manilcs-
ted both by tie Court and by ISLANDERS, the
more especially as the two counsel seemed
so pcItlnacious in their adherence 10 the
christian name of the widow as each had
asserted it to be. The counsel began TO
talk with those " no seemed to be a itlo
knowing in the matter, and with a very
quiZzlcal air and manner, they announced
TO tho Court the great mystery of The
malter-that the tcsialoT had died learips
fro widopsi
This discovery instead Of abating the
int rest Of the case seemed TO increase it,
for now, came on the tug Of war between
tina rival widows Ms TO which Of ilem was
the real Simon Pure and entitled to the
property Of the tesator.

the Court interposed and csu'ed tie en-
raged widow to keep silence. Tho will Of
the husbuud Of Two wives was then rend.

rous indeed, ended by both uidous fling

A. fled petitions for dover and years pro-
vision for The widow represented by him
aud Mr.. B. filed similar petitions for the
widow represented by him.

COTTON CROP OF TIE U. STATES.

Many planters of the South are turning
their attention in a serious manner, to the
necessity Of adopting means TO prevent the
accumulation Of large quantities oil cotton
for the future. The recent low prices have
alarmed them, and not without cause. 4
letter from Mobile states that many plan
tiers in that section Of The Union, will not
plant as much land in cotton this year as
they did last; and the writer suggests that
this rule should be adopted throughout the
cotton growing S'ales. Otherwise, he says,
cotton will in all probability fall TO price
that will not pay the cost Of production
leaving the planters, and especially the
great majority Of them who make no more
than 100 bales, absolutely nothing FOR prl-
vale or family expenses.

MINT OF THE UNITED STATES,

Philadelphia, Dec. IA, l544.
SIR: | have now the honor TO reply TO
your letter Of the 9TH instna,, requesting
me "to furnish the department, as early
as may be, with an estimate of the cost Of
again placing the branch mint at Charlotte,
North Carolina, in a condition for resum-
ing lis operations"
From the officers Of the Charlotte mint,
and from a special agent sent from here,
with your appreciation, TO examine into the
state of the machinery, | have obtained, as
| believe, all the requisite information as
to the amount of damage done by the fire
which occurred on the 9th of July last.
OF the main building, it may be assum.
ed that nothing is left that can be made a
vailable, except portion of the materials
and perhaps of the old foundation. The
out. buildings were all saved.
In tho department of the superintendent
and treasurer, the coin, bullion, scale
beams, furniture, books and papers wer.
saved.
Ia the assay department, and in the melt
: ing room, but little injury was done. Ii
the separating room the destruction wa:
more considerable /; but all the losses o
apparatus and material can be replaced
without resort to any new appropriation.
In the coiner's department, the steam
engine was but slightly injured, and ma,
be put INTO working order at a small cost
The shailing may be repaired, and also
the housing and gearing of the rolls. The
drawbench is so much injured that it vii
be expcdient to replace it by new one
OF the cutting presses, one can be repair
ed, but tho other must be replaced. The
coming presses are passed repair; but one
new press will be quite sufficient for the
work. Tho milIing.machino and the rolls
are destroyed.
| In regard to the new building which it
is proposed to erect, the superintendent,
Mr.. Caldwell, has suggested the advantage,
as well as the economy, Of combining it to
one story above the basement. All the
operations could be amply provided for in
this arrangement, while they would be
more directly under the view of the Off
GERS, and thus convenience and safety Sc
cured at the same time.
Having called for professional advice
and assistance, | send you, herewith, plans
of the proposed building, with full specifi
cations, and detailed estimate Of the cost
The whole amount is So, 900.
| also send estimpte in detail, Of tn,
cost Of the new machinery which VIII b.
needed, and of the repairs required to th'
old the whole amount of which is SO,
900.
The appropriation necessary for p'ac
ing the branch mint at Charlotte in con
dition for rcsum;ng its operations Is
therefore, estimates al S3j, 700.
Very respectfully, your faithful seryt,
R. NJ. PATTERSON, Director
