News FROM ABovE.-0ur information derived
from various reliable sources assure us of rise in
the Cape Fear River of fully Is feet on last Tues
day. Some of the corn fields on the low grounds
were overhowed, and materially injured where they
were not swept off, The Rice crops lower down,
have not suffered on this account. 1t is now about
the middle of the harvest, and if no very heavy
freshet occurs within few weeks more, full aver
age crop may be expected The yield is, we learn,
very good.
The Kosta Ahaar.-Austrian Protest.
The London Times, in discussing the Kosta affair,
and the Protest issued by Austria against the part
Capt. Ingraham took in that affair, very correctly
according to our notion of the matter, says:
"The protest assumes that Capt. Ingraham's de-
mand of Kosta, backed by threat, act of
war. This is nonsense. British vessels are upon
our coast to protect British rights, and their pre-
there is perpetual threat to seize every tres
passer upon their rights: yet who regards this as
act of ware Austria seems to complain because
she was not permitted to consummate the attempt
ell outrage, carry Kosta to Vienna, hang him, and
then settle the matter by negotiation at Washing
ton. This, she thinks, whould have been the proper
mode of adj listing the affair. Tastes differ such
subjects We prefer Capt. Ingraham's process and
we hope to see it become the settled American prac
tice, in every where any person entitled to
American protection shall suffer outra ge at the
hand of any foreign Power We hope that what
force may be necessary to prevent the outrage
will be promptly used it's relation to the interna
tiOnal law be settled afterwards by negotiation
just we'll as beforehand little better"
"a Gold has recently been discovered in Maine,
on Sandy River, in Franklin county, and company
from Massachusetts have leased land on said River,
about two miles in width and in length sufficient to
include the extent Of the Mines, where they are
washing out the precious metal from $50 to $50
per diem, to three hands. The quality is said to
equal the California gold
