Not the least interesting and important effect of the
State Fair held last week. that of bringing stran-
gers to our city, who having become enamored with
our oaks and flowers have actually been induced to
purchase property here, and indeed to make Raleigh
their homes. Maj. Walter Gwynn of Richmond has
purchased the beautiful residence in the vicinity of
the Governors Mansion, and formerly owned by Mrs.
Henry. The Rev. Mr. Mcdowell of Caswell has pur-

raining hard the weather was cloudy and
damp, so that the farmers could not work

The recent heavy rains have been so
excessive and continuous, that farmers
have been able TO get in but a small
proportion Of their cats Much of that
crop is out yet and the rain pouring
down nearly as fast as on the night
which did 50 much injury to tn" canal.
The oats OF many farmers lay in swarth
and grip when the rains Commenced;
these have been turned several times
with the view Of drying, so as to stack
but the rains have been so frequent that
they are still out, and by the frequent
turnlng5, the grain Of the oats are most
~ shaken out, even those that are not
grown. Those which were in shock
are much wet also, and are growing
quite green 50 as to be seen at hun =
dred yards distance.
But the Wheat, the great crop of this
county suffers much. Much of this
crop still remains in shock great deal
OF it has been turned to dry and caught
aE9'n, and is growing quite green. Nor
has tde " heat that is in stack escaped.
Many of our farmers who are accuston-
ed to get out Their Wheat early, are not
as careful in stacking as they should be;
consequently all wheat IN such stacks
is much wet. Indeed the rain fell in
such torrents on the newly put up stacks,
there are but few that are not injured
to considerable amount.
Enough injury is done to the Oats
and " heat crop, to equal 10 pr. cent
on the whole crop.
The corn which had dropped very
much has revived and locks we'll. 1t
generally stands up we'll; mean all that
was big enough to stand up-thpre be-
ING 40 wind OF consequence during all
these rams.
The farmers are availing themselves
OF the wet spell and are turning under
their clover for another crop of wheat,
hoping for better prices; perhaps from a
war OF the Russians and Turks; poor de-
pendence that, John Bull won't let them
fight; he gets his wheat from them, and
not from us. We must get up famine
to raise the price OF wheat, John Bull
wont let any body fight but us; then he
is sure to profit by our Free trade.

notice Of the change in our Post Office
in he last Wing, but presume you We're
not aware OF it. Mr. Peace has been
Superseded by Mr.. II. 3. Mackey, who
took possession ofthe premises on Mon
day last. Mr.. Pcaco has been SO long
accustomed to wait on us, that we feel
10th to part with his familiar counte
nance. but this Is the age of change, and
friend Peace must follow in the foot
steps Of his illustrious predecessors.
| hear that preparations are being
made to bring out the candidates for the
coming fall election. There appears to
be bat little interest manifested on the
subject in this part Of the county. One
OF Our citizens understand is sounding
around for a nomination for Sheriff,
Should he succeed in getting the noml-
nation, he will perhaps do better than
when he previously ran.
| was very sorry TO hear that our
friends in Hartford got into a snarl at
the Democratic convention at Bplair
few DAYS since. From what can I'M
derStand there was quite a row kicked
up IN which those two old FogieS, Orno
and the COL, figured quite largely. 1t
appears that the Col. mad consented,
after a great deal Of persuasion by his
friends, (lor as a matter OF cours4 lie was
not anxious himself as be has great
aversion to office to stand a nomina.
ton for Congress, having had the assn
rance as was then minated or stated,
that certain courser who halls from
Cecil would not stand in the wy of
hin, the said Col, sc. And when all
THINGS appeared to be going lust as his
friends wished, some one BELONGING to
the ,Young America branch Of the
party, kind of hard shell Or hard faced
chap, produces letter from the Cecil
colt, declaring his determination 10 run
at all hazards, as he thinks that the
change that has been made in the course
since his last race VIII be favorable to
him, as great part Of that low, marshv
ground in which he previously swamped
has been thrown out; and also, that his
former competitor he sugmises will not
enter this fall. This letter, as may wei!
be conceived, created as much panic in
the convention as if one OF Scots bomb
shells had exploded in their midst, cqus-
ing them to scatter in every direction.
So goes the report.
We are very DESTROYS that the Col.
should get the nomination, he being a
particular friend to the interests of the
citizens of Port. We feel inclined TO
show our gratitude to the protege of the
great repudiator by giving him helping
hand.
