SAD ACCIDENT.
A youth, by the name of Bunyan Pickitt,
who was engaged in rolling Turpentine
to the landing, at Mulberry Branch, in New
Hanover County, was found lying dead in the
road, on the goth ult A Coroner's Jury was
held over the deceased body, and the Jury re-
turned a verdict that g he came to his death
by fall from horse" 1t appears that the
horse ran away with him, and when he fell,
that the back of his head struck a root in the
road, which fractured the skull in such a man.

physicians were called to him within half an
hour after the accident, but life was extinct
FOREIGN NEWS-AMERICAN PRODUCE.
1t is with considerable satisfaction that we
refer to the foreign intelligence in our columns.
We regard it as the most important we have
had from England for very many years. Any
advance in American produce must be matter
Of deep interest to all. 1t will be seen that,
not only has the rise affected Breadstutfs, but
Cotton also. The first is doubtless to be as
crbed chiefly to the failure of the wheat and
potato crops; but the Democratic party may
proudly claim the latter as the legitimate con-
sequence of those enlarged and liberal free
trade notions of commercial policy, upon
which both nations are now entering This
is the first consequence of our new Tariff.
The manufactures of England being now ad

which Will be the consequence, and greater
supply of the raw material will be necessary
TO make up for the present loss, we have the
English ports opened to our Breadstufs The
old notion that nations can only be rich by
selling all and buying nothing, is fast being
exploded. In smaller dealings, every merchan
knows that the profits of business are derived
from the rapid exchange of products. Trade
trade, this for that, is the secret of accumula
ton. The same principle will apply in ma
tonal affairs, and thus mutual liberality
will heget mutual wealth.
The increased prosperity of the countr.
will soon attest in most striking manner
the beneficial influence of these measures OF
all our leading interests. With prudent man
agement, the producing, or farming interest
will become the most important. The articl
: of corn, of which we grow such large quaint
ties, will shortly supersede the potato as
material of food and America must become
in that case, the granary of the world; for W

present advance will cause. The exports mus
