The Last Appeal the Eal N. Carolina.
We have seen for a long time, the great need of a
paper in our State to be devoted to the farming in
terest especially, and we, at lenght with great diff
dence, assumed the laborious task of editing such
paper. We saw plainly, what great good other men
working this way in their respective States.
and it inspired with disposition to obtain fame
like theirs, which will last for ages In the present
fourisbing condition of Virginia, may be plainly seen
the fruits Of one mans labor. The of Edmund
Ruffn is dear to every Vrginan; their hearts swell
with gladness whenever they name him. Seeing the
great need Of such paper alluded 10 in this arti-

support in this enterprise whose interest do ad

that of the farmer if so, of to him we look
for support We have before made similar APP
peal through our own columns but it seems not to
have been seen. or if seen not needed by many. We
have concluded to ask place in the various pa

There are according TO the last census more than
100000 men engaged, more or less in farming in our

1 As to the merits of THE Farmers Journal" we
will say for the benefit of those who have seen
q copy, that saw, few days since, the ex-treas
urer, Charles Hinton Esq who told that he was
more pleased with it, than anv paper of the kind he
had ever seen. We, of course. did not understand
him to say that it the most scientific paper, but
that what We had written, could he understood BY
all. We hope after this, the farmers will send in
their rames, and the cash, and let us live longer
than one year
