WonEs's Rterrs AMONG TIE HoT-
rENrors. The Hottentot females ME a,
once the LATEST and most ill-used OF wo-
men. The priest when he marries them
blesses them, saying, May you live hap.
py, and ycar-a-year bear a son, who
may live to be good hunter and war
rior.' II is needless 10 say that this
wish is not always gratified.
So long as her husband exists, the
Hottentot woman is tie slave and drudge
of the hut, and on her dcyolyes the task
OF providing for the snstenance of the
family, while the husband eats, drinks,
smokes and sleeps.
When the Hottentot woman becomes
a widow, she must continue SO for life,
unless she chooses to purchase husband
at price which according to our notions,
is something more than the delights of a
wife in hottentot matrmony would war;
rant.
The Hottentot son, on coming Of age
is presented with a cudgel, with which
be is commanded to bea, his mother; aud
this request is very duiilully complied
with by the son, in order to manifest his
strength and ability; just as some youths
are prone to evince their manhood by
smoking cigars and swearing protancly.
1t is strange that the mother, though
often fainting under tn. cruel beating OF
the soa she has nursed at her bosolne,
does not reproach him, but admircs his
manliness and deAterity IN proportion 10

| THE Corn TRADE The accounts from all parts
| of the kingdom confirm what has been previously
stated to the deficiency in the yield of wheat and
the value of all kinds of provisions will rule high all
through the winter. Our French neghbors are evil
IDENTIFY under great apprehension of scarcity, and
learn that the government had decreed that the pro-
hbition against the export of grain be extended to
the 31st of July 1854. The export of potatoes had
also been forbidden. This latter circumstance WILL
no doubt, have some influence our market, as we
have lately received good supplies of that article from
France. The position of affairs here, and on the
Continent does not, therefore, afford grounds for
concluding that the upward movement in wheat has
yet reached its maximum, and many holders are
sangune to a considerably higher range of prices
The excitement has of late been greater in the
try than in London and ours is of the quiet
est markets in the kingdom. AT Mark lane yester-
day there small show of wheat from the neigh
boring counties, which induced factors to ask higher
prices. The demand not active of late;
indeed the millers evidently averse to paying
any further advance, and they succeeded ultimately
in purchasing terms similar to those current
that day week. There was some demand for new for
seed, and few picked lots commanded very full
terms The arrivals of wheat from abroad have for
several days past been quite trifing and the proba
bility is that shall have no immediate increase in
the supplies In the absence of fresh arrivals there
was no pressure to sell from board ship and for
granaricd parcels very high prices were asked. Buy
ers acted with caution than of late, but they
could not buy cheaper, and we consider quotations
quite as high on Monday week. There were but
few offers of floating cargoes, either from the Baltic
OF Black Sea. Towards the end of market there was
improved inquiry, owing, it was said to the re-
ceipt of Geographic despatch of warlike character
from Turkey. Quotations of town made -four
derwent no change the demand was rather langud.
American in fair request, and realized the
treme terms of last week English barley hardly
sold so well of late; there slight increase in
the supply and only small proportion of the
consisted of fine quality. Foreign barley for grind
ing sought after, and its previous value in
some cases rather exceeded. Malt sold quite well
as previously. The arrivals of oats coastwise and
from Ireland quite insignificant, and only
small cargo received from abroad. There
not much life in trade yesterday about the mid
die of last week, but the rise then established
well supported, and we must quote prices at least
Is. per quarter higher than on that day week Beans
about Is and peas 2s to s. per quarter dearer
Indian was held with increased frmness, and

VESSELS DIsTREss-OUR HARBoR. Every hard
blow, such had last week. offers additional ar
guments in favor of the appropriation by Congress
oil the means necessary to construct the works at
the mouth of river calculated to render it avail
able harbor of refuge for all classes of vessels
traversng coasts. At the present writing there
are some six to eight vessels in the Cape Fear which
have put in here in distress of the recent
severity of the weather. and the injuries they have
received and such is always the case after or dur
ing storms and will always continue to be- protect
ed, as our entrance is by Cape Fear and the shoals
But the value of this harbor to the trade of the
try is very greatly restricted by the Instructions at
its mouth and will continue to be so restricted until
the proper have been taken for the removal
of these distractions Certainly this is national
and not local view and in this view, of which al
most daily experience proves the correctness have
right, under any, even the most rigid construction
OF the constitution, to expect aid from Congress.
We might speak of the many artificial and perhaps
unnecessary harbors of refuge the Lakes and
ask why natural and indispensable harbor here
should be neglected; but will confine ourselves
SIMPLY to urging our own claims, without nstituting
comparisons with those of others, which always
odlous Congress will meet in about six weeks. We
think pledge to our immediate representative
the active cooperation of the whole N c. Delegation
in Congress and of his nterestin the matter there
can be no doubt. In the meantime, we would urge
upon the Chamber of Commerce, under the super
vision of which body it most directly comes, the col
lection and preparation of such statistics of trade
and other matters pertaining to our port may be
necessary to strengthen the hands of friends in
Congress, and enable them to move at an early day
in the session. This consideration of the importance
of the river harbor of refuge should not be neg
ected and in urging it. essential strength might be
derived from knowledge of the number of vessels
which had sought refuge within given time. A list
of these with some statement of the circumstances
would certainly be useful Let all those interested
directly indirectly be up and moving in time The
town. through her citizens, has gone into the improve
ment, and must push it; and Congress ought to see
it through and must be urged and still more urg
ed We want to keep it before the people so far as
we can We know that our town contemporaries will
do the same, and we hope for an active expression
of opinion from the State at large.

AGRICULTURAL, AIR. Last Friday and Saturday
were the days set apart for the First Annual Fair Of
the Buncombe County Agricultural Society. The
weather was ne and the interestmanifested consid-
cradle. There was great deal of fine stock exhib-
lted and many articles of mecanical production that
were highly creditable to the skill and taste of
citizens.
We were pleased to note the evident improvement
IN the stock of the country, made during the ten
years last part The stock exhibited would have
done no discredit to any country. Finer horses,
mules hogs, and cattle, cannot be found any where.
1t was not so once, and we we'll remember the time.
Our people haOe been improving, and the display
Saturday demonstrated it.
we append the award of premiums, and think it
IS about correct. We not present, however,
and the list may be incorrect in some particulars
N. w Woodfn received the premium for the best
crop OF corn. The yield to the acre understand
was 40 bushels What county can beat this? And
why should our people leave Buncombe in search
of better lands when such crops can be made by
culture at home?
N. w. Woodfn-for the best Work Oxen and best
Mich cow.
David c. Taylor-for the best Upper and Sole
Leather, and best dressed Sheep Skin.
Mrs. D. G. Taylor-for the best Butter.
J. W. Woodfn-for the best saddle Horse.

Montraville Patton-for the best Bull Calf.
James w. Patton-for the best Bull

Michael Luther-for the best Stallion.
John P. Smith-for the best two year old Mules
Peter Plemmons-for the best Mule Colt.
A. M. Alexander--for the best Brood Mare
j. R. Osborne-for the best Sheep.
Col Thos. I. Patton-for the best Wheat Crop.
Forty bushels to the the yield.
Col T. I. Patton-for the best specimen Of Indi-
an Corn
Thomas Goodake-for the latest and best butch
cred Beef We make acknowledgements to Mr..
G. for handsome portion of that premium beef"
1t was duly discussed in committee of the whole,
and pronounced good, very good.
Mrs. Mis-for the handsomest Bed Quilt.
Mr.. Mills-for the best pair ofBoots.
A. L. Summey-for the best Beets.
There were many fine specimens aside from those
which received the premiums. All could not be sue
cessfu, of course; and doubt the various award
ing committees did near right as possible. Let
none be discouraged because they failed this time,
but resolve to doa httebetter for the next Fair and
the prize may be theirs.
The next Annual Fair, we have no doubt, will
step to benefit the country be participated in by ALL
AsAeciUe Necs.

pointed superintendent of the North Carolina Luna
tic Asylum. Standard.
Is it not little strange that should be DEEPEN
dent upon another State for Superintendent for the
Lunatic Asylum, indeed, for incumbent for any
other office in this State? Are there physicians
in North Carolina capable performing the duties of
Superintendent of that Institution whose services
could be obtained? We have seen somewhere state
ment that the situation offered to two physicians
of the State upon condition that they should reside
at the Asylum, and that finally, it was rendered to
and accepted by, DIR. Fisher without the condition
Why was this Neither we nor the people of the
State may obtain any satisfactory answers to these
queries yet have perfect right to ask them and
we will ask them, whether they are answered or
not. s#.
We land the munificent spirit in which that insti-

TOBACCO AND FRosr. "A correspondent from Frank
lin writes u.s. that the Totacco crop Of that county
is both the highest and most Indifferent which has
been gathered for twenty years. Not more thanone-
third Of the usual crop planted in the early sea-
sons which was nearly destroyed by the dry wealth
er of the midsummer weeks The early fosts also
cut short the paintings of the latter seasons and thus
he concludes, that in quality and quantity the crop
for that county will be at least onethird below the
usual standard z.

.PLoUGHING AND MATURING. At the recent Agri-
cultural Fair at Hampstead, Long Island, Professor
Mapes said:
High farming is not ornamental farming; it is
deep ploughing and increased manuring This is
what pays the greatest profit Who heard of
crop suffering from drought in field well drained
and sub-soiled, say two feet deep? The atmosphere
gives out its moisture in subsoiled land and keeps
the crops growing. Look at such land and see the
results, compared with shallow ploughing. Many
men have better farm under the one they plough
than that on the surface Oats never lodge on land
where they get soluble slick to make strong
straw. They cannot get it in shallow ploughed land
that has been long in use. Two dollars acre will
give him plenty of soluble slick. No matter what
the subso is it will be benefited if it is dry by sub
soiling Hill tops benefited by subsoiling and
draining, for it lets in the air. 1t makes crops ear
er, and thus they escape the frost The most gray
ely land is benefited. A subsoied meadow never
runs out" There is no fear of deep ploughng
gravelly lands; manures do not reach downward
that notion is fallacy. To prove it, dig in your
barnyard, and you will find it has not made the
hard subsoil rich. Root crops not appropriated
as they should be. Cattle may be fattened roots
cheaper than you feed them hay in the winter
One bushel of carrots fed with oats, worth
than oats to horses. You can raise thousand BUSH
els Of carrots to the acre. worth fifty cents bushel
for feed Carrots are equal for COWS in winter to
clover in May"

Common ScnooLs. Mr. Wiley, General Supcrin-
tendent of Common Schools for the State, has writ
ten and published another letter the subject of
Common Schools, addressed to his Excellency, Gov.
Reid, in which he audes to the main obstacles that
have hitherto operated against the full success of
system. The first and most prominent mentioned
by Mr. Wiley, is the error that has obtained in the
minds of our citizens, that the Common School fund
was designed State charity for the benefit of
the common people. He very truthfnlly argues
that the prevalence of this opinion has done
retard the progress of popular education u the State
than any other thing If Mr.. Wiley, suggests,
those of our citizens who occupy in their neghbor-
intelligence, would take hold of the matter and show
that they felt interest in the Schools in their vi
cinity, much good would be accomplished, indeed
the system would soon become all that its most
dent advocates ever claimed for it. We think it
would be good plan have these letters published
in pamphlet form for general distribution.
