WESTERN TOBACCO CRoP Extract from letter
dated Bowling Green KY, October 18th, from a
gentleman now in the West to commercial house
in Baltimore:
Having now nearly finished my trip through the
Tobacco growing regions of Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee, come to the following conclusions to
this years crop, viz:
Kentucky and Tennessee, $4,000 hhds
Missouri, 10000 do
Indiana, Illinois, &C., 5000 do
The quantity of old Tobacco, remaining on the
Cumberland river is pretty well ascertained not to
exceed 5000 hhds, and on the Ohio 5000 hhds so
that the entire receipts in 1864 of New Orleans, ST.
Louis and Louisville must fall short of CO. 900 hhds,
as good deal will be required for manufacturing
purposes at home. This is great falling off
pared with the receipt of $4,000 hhds. in New Or
leans alone this year, without including the receipts
of ST. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, New York and
other places.

FATAL ACCIDENTS. We learn that Thursday
last Lorenzo Miller of Mills River accidentally
shot by rifle the ball entering above of his hips
and lodging in his viscera, from which he died On
the following day. 1t seems that Mr.. Oliver Robson
who resides in the same neighborhood was shooting
at mark, and that there small sapling about
midway between where he was standing and the
mark, Mr.. Miller standing the sapng; the ball
in its passage struck the side of the tree and glanced
in the direction of Mr.. Miller, penetrating him
have stated.
We also learn that on Sunday last small boy,
of Joseph 7. Bryson who lives beyond Mills
River on Bryson's creek, was playing with pistol
while his parents absent attending church, which
he accidentally discharged the load entering his alb
domen and causing death in a short time.
These accidents should serve a solemn warning
to persons who have occasion to handle firearms
Parents, particularly, should be cautious in placing
these instruments of death within the reach of their
children. Whether the old lady, who said that a
gun dangerous without lock, stock, OF barrel"
was correct not there is frequently much danger
where little CT none is suspected.

TIE STATE FAIR. From various sources, we learn
that the Fair at Raleigh, highly credtable ex-
hibtion exceeding the expectations of its projectors
AS first attempt it than successful. This
is favorable augury, and betokens good results in
the future. 1t not expected that the first Fair
would be complete or give general satisfaction. 1t
was rather considered the commencement of better
things to come hereafter-the beginning of end,
having for its object the development of the indus
trial resources of our State. Having succeeded in
enisting the interests of all engaged in securing the
the glory of the State, may expect every succeed
ing exhibition to increase in value Every exerton
should be made to bring about this result.

MORE COPPER We have been shown by Mr..
William Dickson fine specimens of Copper Ore,
taken six miles south west of Hillsborough,
from piece of ground leased by company from
Mr.. Stubbins. These specimens were taken at the
depth of eleven feet and compare very favorably
with some of the best specimens we have seen from
the Guilford mines. We understand that lump of
solid ore was recently obtained which weighed two
pounds and half
We have also seen some good specimens of Cop
per Ore from piece of land owned by Mr.. Gates,
lying in the same direction. The indications as far
investigations have been made, understand,
are highly favorable, and company arc negotiating
for lease of the land with the intention of working
it for Copper.
A friend with whom we have conversed in refe-
to the above facts, and who has been looking
into the matter with interest says he thinks it
will be found that the portion of Orange in which
these discoveries have been made is as rich in Cop
per Ore as any portion of the State.

clear. Mr.. flanagan took bold ground against not
gainst the manufacture or importation within the

declared himself ready to vote for the Maine law in
the absence of any thing better but expressed his
article from the face of the earth would effect the de-

DEMOCRATIC II PRINCIPLES AND PARTY PoIICY. We
do not pretend to say what Democratic
We presume the country understands the principles
it has selected for its financial administrative and
of men processing democratic principles worthy,
reliable democrats, and what kind are unworthy,
unreliable and dishonest.
He is not a good democrat who is not willing, un-
der any and all circumstances, to stand by and work
for the maintenance of the principles His faith in
their rectitude must be deep rooted in his convic-
tons. Ills determination never to finch in their adj
vocacy must be as unwavering as the granite hill
His constancy must be ceaseless and undertaking
that no bribery reach and personal tempta-
tons disturb his purpose.
The man who belongs to the party for the hope of
reward from its spoils either for himself friends,
is good democrat
The man whose prospects once good for lucrative
office, sees these prospects blighted, and who then
flies Oft from the party account of his dsappoint-
ment, is not good democrat. He has made the
mistake to believe the party and principles were or
ganized for his special benefit instead of for the good
of the whole.
The man who thinks that the principles of the
party may be overlooked in the means resorted to to
achieve political triumph, is not good democrat.
The man who gives Importance to sectional
teuds and refuses to vote with the regularly organ
lied body of the party, is not good democrat.
AS to the policy of party that must always occupy
second place, and not as some suppose, the first
The policy should recognize every honest move to
promote or establish the principles. And the prin
cipes should never recognize any stroke of policy
that is not entirely honest and honorable.
He is no good democrat who permits a personal
matter to prevent him from voting for regular DEM
ocratc nominee Nor is he good one who abuses
regularly chosen candidates on personal grounds.
In sentence to conclude, the good and true dem
ocrat adheres to the doctrines of the party and to
any policy not inconsistent with those doctrines
Any other is not to be trusted.

W. & R. R. R. COMPANY. From an advertise
