the desirable places in the range of our knowl-
edge, as we'll account of health for facilities for

The DEMOCRATIC PREss We are gratified to no

may be amply sustained. The Warrenton News is
also considerable improvement on the old Repor-

only noticed those papers which have recently eec-
ted changes or improvements on their "persona ap-
pearance. Many OF our standard papers are as they
were, and as such are always welcome. By the by,
we have not said a word about paper which we do
think is rather neatly printed than otherwise-an un
pretending little sheet published in the little village
of WiImington-theiW ilmington Journal. We know
the Editors very well, and think them reasonably
good fellows and worthy of support, which, we have
no doubt, discerning public will award to them.
Any one In North Carolina who can print neater
sheet can take our hat.

COTTON PROSPECT FOR 1850. DR.. M. w. Philips,
one of the best informed agrlcultnrasts IN the South,
in a letter to the New Orleans True Delta, says he
has idea that the crop of the present year will ex-

Let every man conversant with the growth OF
Cotton take the facts they exist, and then cacu-
late. A cold, wet and of course backward spring;
more cotton planted in May and June than was ever
known-grass equally as bad as in ls49, and more
corn bought than before since the settling
of the couny-therefore poor teams and bad cultva-
nnn-then no rain for the past six or seven weeks.
