New PATENT PLow.-Mr. VIM. E. Nyche, of
Granville county, N. c., has recently patented new
plow, specimens of which are for inspection at the
Market House in this City. Instead of moldboard
this plow has two or more blades set either hori-
zOntally vertically, for pulver'zng the SOIL Mr..
Wyche claims that this plow will pulverze the soil,
at the same time depositng it in the furrow made,
instead of turning it in clods and turfs. The
plow is light and easily drawn and though the con-
vance is very simple, it appears to US that it will
answer well the purposes for whichit was designed
The Discretionary committee, at our last State Fair
awarded Mr.: Wyche premium of twenty dollars
for the best blowing. We make this statement now
with the more satisfaction because his plow was
overlooked by and reporters during the Fair ;
and because by some means, this premium was not
mentioned in the published list of awards.
We trust this plow will answer the expectations
Of its inventor He informs us that he has tried it
thoroughly, and that it works WELL 1t is neat,
light anfeheap pl ", aad, if found to perform wel
will certainly be g.n>ralIy introduced. Mr.. W's

Orange County.

We made brief visit to Orange County during
the present week. it being the week Of County Court.
Leaving here at halt past nine in the morning, we
reached uillsborough about twelve O'Clock, and
took lodgings with Maj Howerton, Of the Union
Hotel. The Major is polite and attentive to his nu'
merous guests, and keeps an excellent house.
The Central Railroad appears to be we'll managed,
and is in good condition. Judging from appearances,
the town of Hisborough has not been much i'm
proved by the Railroad; yet we do not doubt that
the Road has been and will be Of benefit to it in
manv respects But little change has taken place
IN the appearance of the t. wn Vurng the last twen
ty years.
| On Tuesday large and enthusiastic Democratic
meeting was held that long tried and sterling repub-
ican, Gen. Joseph Ason in the Chair, and W. H.
Bailey, Esq, acting as Secretary. Mr. Bailey spoke
briefly but in an able and effective manner but the
speech of the occasion was delivered by Sidney
Smith, Esq who more than sustained his high rep
utat5n as champion of popular rights and expoun-
der of Democratic principles. We heard his effort
referred by many in terms of warm commendation,
and We learn that it produced decided effect We
are gratifcd to such young men as Bailey and
Smith taking an active part in behalf Of Democratic
principles and We feel sure that their efforts in the
cause will be productive of good results. The meet
Ing was called for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for the Legislature, bN for good reasons, and
such as entirely satisfactory to the delegates
present, action in this respect was postponed until
June Superior Court We are assured that ticket
will then be brought out which will carry the Coun.
ty. The K. Ms of the County are depressed, and
generally in bad way. We learn that they had a
very small meeting Tuesday night, called to coun-
teract as far as possible the effects of Mr.. Smith s
speech and of the Democratic meeting held that day
Some of the most influential Wings in the County
are opposed to them, and will most probably vote

President. We could mention names if we thought
proper to do so-shinng lights that have long moved
in front of the old Whig party of the County, and
some Of whom nave attracted the attention and res
pect Of the Wing party of the whole country.
The Democrats of Orange were never so strong in
numbers soenthusiastic and confident of success
as they are at this ,ime Let them bring out their
best men for the Legislature and brilliant victory
wilt crown their exertions.
We saw one or two good fields of wheat, but We
heard fears expressed among the farmers from al
parts of the County of short crop. Owing to th'
