HoT AND DRr-CRoPs, &c. The weather in this
region is almost without parallel for heat and dust
The days and nights both excessively warm and
the air is loaded with fine dust which rises clouds
from the public streets and roads at every passage of
carriage and horses.
We have had no rain here to wet the ground since
about the Doth August The turnip crop will fall
short if the present drough continues and many
other vegetable crops must suffer less dam
age. And there may be few late paintings ofcorn
which not yet matured that will fall short But
the corn crop in Rowan, generally speaking, is
thought to be average one.
The crops of navie county never better, it is
thought, than they this year. Wheat and Oats
already harvested turned out most remarkably fine;
and the Corn crop gives promise of tremendous
yield. Old fields, even, we noticed few days ago.
were yielding beyond any reasonable calculation.
We doubt not there are many sections in the sur
rounding country where failures have occurred that
will rejoice to knowthis Stanly county has suffered
from drought and her people will have to buy Corn;
and there other sections reported to US, but of
which we have positive information. There can
be little doubt however, that Corn will be in great
demand before this time next year. in consequence
of failures and the transportation of grain
to distant markets to supply deficiencies which must
be felt by the extensive failure Of crops in the North

DINNER TO Mn. KERR. You may say what you

pie !; but be this as it may, certainly a hard

ereigns resolve to give him something to eat In
cordancc with this trait in people, that
the friends and neighbors' of the Hon. John Kerr
have invited him to public dinner with them as
distinctive mark of their appreciation for his patriotic
course with regard to the Nebraska-Kansas bill In
his answer to the Committee who invited him, it
seems to us he 'niiicts most awful cuts upon
two of North Cardinals Honorable Representatives
in Congress- Messrs Purycar and Rogers. We do
not say he desgnedy cut at them, but the thrusts
are full deep as if he did. Mr.. Kerr says, with
regard to his vote on the Nebraska bil:-"Had
withheld from it my support should have felt my
selfjusty obnoxious to the charge of deserving the
principles of our Revolutionary Fathers, and could
not have hoped for the appreciation of my constitu
ents." Many other equally sharp cuts appear in
the course of Mr.. Kerr's letter to tho Committee,
which, no doubt. will make Messrs. Puryear and
Rogers vince when they read them Notwithstand-
ing all this-the feeding and toasting members of
Congress who voted for the Nebraska bill and the
exultation the of that measure the time
will come when Rogers and Puryear will see their
action endorsed bp North Carolina Wings, and as
Kerr and Badger, there will none be fonnd to cry
"God bless them" This may not be- but We think
it will. Wur. N6acs

EDITORIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ESDoRsEMENT-
Some peopcare so unskilful as to believe and hold
editor responsible personally individually, social
w. and pccuniarily, for everything that appears in
the paper with which he is connected, including as
we'll extracted complicated news advertisements,
communications marriages, deaths and Births as
what appears as editorial. Now we protest against
this. il is more than can bear. Our sins are
sufficiently manifold without there being added to
them all those of taste, grammar, assertion, fact
etc, which congomeracd into those departments
eff journal to which the public have access by ad
vcrtiSements, communications, and the like under
certain rather loose rules OF journalism.
To a certain degree, both in the eyes of the law,
and in those of the community at large, editors
rightly esponsible for all that appears in their sheets;
but custom, which is the law of journalism has con-
cedcd to the outside public a right to say, for pay,
and sometimes sorry to say without, pretty
much anything it pleaSeS about itself and its neigh
bors that it is not absolutely startling by its
vuigarty and depravity. Editors can really govern
only what appears as editorial beyond that they
are individually not responsible, nor should be held
Thousands of things go into a newspaper in
these days at which the good taste personal feeling
and individual scnsbity of the editor revoits; but
the great million would taboo the paper at once which
should set up to be, in every respect the daguerreo
type of its conductors idiosyncrasies.
Where the line should be drawn in conflicts bet
the demands of outsiders and the taste and
personal feeling of the editor is delicate matter
1t cannot we'll be defined regular, and must waive
the spccia! cases. But protest against the habit
some people have of holding the editor personally
responsible to them and the community for the good
taste and propristy Of every line in his paper. We
record great many things that absolutely shock
ing, but the people must have the news. We pub
fish a great many marriages that perhaps turn oat
unhappy but pray don't hold responsible for the
peace of other households than own and we do,
with upliftcd hands, beg to be excused fr- m any
individual liability in reference to all the numerous
events recor ded under our headings of Born" and
