We announce with regret the death Of this estma-
bic gentleman which sad event occurred at his resi-
dence few miles from Camden Wednesday night last
Ills health for months past had been feeble, and his
death was rot unlocked for his by family and friends.
Mr.. BoYKN was ffty-two years Of ga nan of
pure and irreproaclablc character AID his liz sri-
king example Of the devout and consis,eu. cr2tian-

highest evidence ofuprightncss and integrity. Ofhim
we may truly say 'Behold the upright, for the end of
that man is peace" His death was calm and peace
full illustrating the power of that faith which he pro-
fesscd and adorned in pious life For many years
he had been devoted member of the Baptist Church.
We hope suitable tribute to his memory will be
furnished us for publication.

The Cotton Trade.

The following is from the circular of Messrs.
O'Neal, Hill & Kennedy, Of Charleston:
'The results of the past season. while they
have been of the most gratifying character to
the planter, present somewhat of an anomaly in
the history of the cotton trade. A crop, mex
ampled in extent, commanding prices above the
average.
"At the commencement of the season, with
an anticipated crop of 100000 or 100000
bales, an almost universal distrust in the article
prevailed, and holders seemed disposed to push
off their stocks as rapidly as possible. As the
season advanced, Notwithstanding the receipts
continued to gain upon the preceding year, SO as
to authorize the expectation that the crop would
reach the unprecedented extent of 100000
bales, prices were not only maintained, but gra-
dually advanced, until fair Uplands reached IL
1-2c. per pound.
"The great consumption Of cotton and conse-
ouent high prices, may in considerable degree
be attributed to the influx of gold from Califor-
MIA and Australia, the abundance Of money, the
favorable crops which made food cheap, together
with the maintenance Of peace in Europe. This
condition of affairs, we are happy to say, has
every appearance of being continued, and gives
good ground for anticipating remunerating pri-
ces for the staple during the ensuing season.
With regard to the present crop, after much in
Jury and the advantage Of information from
variety Of sources, we are led to believe it cannot
exceed 2,sOO00O bales. The last CROP under
the combined influence of favorable growth,
and the longest and best picking season ever
known, with the stimulus of high prices to tax
the power of production to the utmost, has failed
to reach over 100000 bales. That this is not
more than sufficient for the worlds consumption,
the experience of the past year conclusively
proves. Notwithstanding the large crop, the
stock on hand in the United States is only s0,-
900 bales, against l43, 700 bales same time last
year-showing diminution Of stock of 63,7oo
bales.
"The present picking season is at least two
weeks later than the last, thus exposing the crop
to the contingencies of unfavorab!e weather, ear
ly frost, dc. In addition to which, the informa-
ton from various sections of the cotton growing
regions, leaves no doubt that the quantity pro-
duced will be materially affected by the ravages
of the boil worm, and the recent frcshet, which
seems to have extended much over the South
ern country.
"Under these circumstances, we think $780,
900 bales liberal, if not large estimate of the
crop of the present year. Should it not exceed
this, and peace be maintained in Europe, with
fair crop of provisions, it is not probable that
prices will vary much from the present rates
say an average of l0c."

Another Plank Road.

Wcpcrceivc (says the Cheraw Gazcte) that notice
is given in the Salisbury Watchman that application
will be made to the next Legislature Of North Carolina
for charter to construct Plank Road from that place
to connect with the Anson and Centre Plank Road at
Centre This continues the Gazette, is indeed mat
ter of deep interest to our town. Such road would
put us in easy connection with the Fayetteville and 9TH
or Plank Roads centrcng at Salisbury; and conse-
ouently would lead to Cheraw for market, much OF
the produce of the upcountry which now finds sway
into Virginia and other equally inconvcnient markets.

DEATH OF A. S. JOHNSTON, EsQ.-Our COM
munity was startled yesterday morning with the
intelligence of the demise Of this gentleman. Mr..
Johnston was not very we'll for day or two pre-
vious, but was not considered dangerously ILL
Tie disease which proved fatal, We understand,
was congestion Of the liver.
Mr.. J. was native of Virginia, but for many
years resident of this place, and was eminently
"a useful citizen in every station which he occu-
pied. He has always manifested the deepest
interest in the welfare and prosperity of our
town, in the public affairs of which, for years
past he has taken an active and prominent part.
His death is deeply regretted by our whole COM
munity. and leaves vacuum which will be felt
for long time to come Carolinian.

would not equal by many degrees the absorbing
capacities of British rule in India. 1t is from
this source too that our propensities of annexa-
tion are most inveighcd against. If the balance
of power is to be preserved in the west, as is al
legged by European statesmen, by the non-annex-
alton fits weaker States into one great Republic
surely, there is room for redress of that balance
in the East, when an empire on which the sun
never sets has been formed, in great part, from
disintegrated fragments Of other States.

Themselves must strike the blow


PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIoN.--Thc Cnionvie
Journal, speaking of the Alabama nomination,
says:
awe learn from tclegraphic despatch to the
Southern Standard, that the nomination of Troup
and Quitman, for President and Vice President,
by the Southern Rights party of Alabama, was
ratified by the Convention at Montgomery on the
18th inst. The Convention then proceeded to
nominate electors and adjourned
"With reference to the vote of this State,
the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun expresses
the opinion that it will be cast for Troup and
Qutman. We have no doubt that if the pros
poets for the election Of these gentlemen would
justify it, the vote Of this State would be cheer
fully given to them but under the circumstances,
we are decidedly opposed to such course, unless
some concert Of action coud be effected between
all the Southern States. This, if it could not
elect the Southern candidates would, at all events,
show our strength, and defeat the purposes Of
those who are attempting to divide the demo-
cratic party, and thus insure the election OF
Scott.

The London Times reads the people of the
United States a lecture in relation to the Island
of Cuba, and the imputed desire for its annexa-
ton, which would be well enough if it did not
appear in rather near juxtaposition with anoth-
er article on the subject of the Burmese war in
India. Here would be annexation indeed as the
result of that war which the Times indicates as
measure of political necessity Now what is this
necessity 1t is not affirmed that the British
forces in this part of India were assailed, that
the Burmese territory is so interposed between
the British territorial possessions, as to endangcr
their security. But it was 4 war of invasion on
the miserable plea that the Burmese Government
owed the British Government in India 5000,
which the former resisted rs unjust. In making
this invasion the expense has been half million
sterling, and failing to obtain a compensation for
this large outlay as well as future expenditure,
the appropriation of the territory of an entire
State is recommended.
Was there ever more unblushing pretensions
put forth for annexationG 1t does not present
even the poor excuse of strong powers in round
ing their dominions, by sealing from their weak
er neighbors. This species of necessity is not al
legged in the Burmese war. 1t is virtually for
increase of territory, although obstensibly to re-
cover claim of less than one thousand pounds.
Even if the sincerity of the plea were admit
ted, what could result from the invasion ola
weak State but conquest and annexation? 1t is
in this way that the British empire has been in
variably extended in the East. Now no lover
of national law can object to the rebukes which
the London Times has so often administered to
that lust of conquest, in a portion Of our people,
VINO would, in pursuit of their manifest destiny
visions, or for more mcrccnary purposes, invade
the territory of nations with which we are at
peace. But the reproof comes with an ill grace
from those who have built up an immense Eas-
tern empire on the ruins of other and weaker
States. And while this process of absorption is
vet going on, to receive almost daily lectures
against the national sinfulness of territorial sp-
propriation is more than human patience can
tolerate. Now if the people of the United States
were to annex all Mexico and Cuba with some
half dozen. South American States besides, it

Eagerness for News.

We have often been not little amused, as well as
dsgusted by the avidity displayed by some persons for
"nsars amy thng-they not particular. All the
speculations Of idle fancy originating in the imagina
ton of the gossippng world are eagerly seized upon
as precious morceaWS. We blame the press for much
OF this morbid and unhealthy state of feeling; and un
less Editors and publishers Of papers willing to
take the personal responsibility Of every thing which is
gvena local news through the columns Of their jour-
nails, things never will DO better. The practice of a
single press pandcrng to this vtiatcd TASTE has often
led others into the vena error Of publishing items
without proper authority for fear that they might bo
considered too farn the rear and that when piece Of
information was given, it might be considered ancient
history. Hence it is now settled habit to seize first
those papers which give the largest number Of arvel

so or not To jump at conclusions and reduce things

particularly concerned with regard to the truth of a

lieving it, We have been forciby reminded Of these

UoN. Jos. A. WooDwARD.-The following
highly complimentary paragraph in reference to
our talented Representative in Congress, is ia
ken, says the Wiunsborough Register, from the
Washington correspondence of the Abbeville
Banner, of the 18th inst. We are highly graft
fed to know that he has earned for himself such
an enviaole reputation as this writer represents,
and sincerely sorry that to be depri-
we'd of his very valuable services in the National
Legislature:
"Mr. Woodward has the reputation of being
one of the abIrst lawyers on the floor of Con-
grcss. His recent able argument on the Wheel
Ing Bridge case, is a striking proof in favor Of
this general estimate of his legal ability. may
be pardoned for expressing the opinions, as a
faithful correspondent, that mind purely of a
legal turn, is prone to objections, and that it
once in while occurs that these objections, good
in themselves and irresistible in judicial tribunals,
are not always expediept or polite in the Nation
al Legislature. Mr.. Woodward is an able and
useful member of the Committee on Foreign
Relations. He is very close and logical rea-
soner, ripe and thorough scholar, and am
sorry to know that he has expressed his inten-
ton OF declining further reelection to Con-
gress."
