e. rhe manners generally REPRESENT Die crops

go- The papers generally represent the crops
throughout the country as good--at least the ndi-
cations are so ami are pleased to receive similar
reports from the majority of our agricultural friends
in this section of North Carolina in the west crops
are said to look quite fattering.
After long continued observation, and reflection
deep as we'll, we have to the conclusion that
the site of the town of Wilmington was never in
tended by Providence as garden spot, and that the
food crop of the country does not lose much by its
being devoted to town purposes. Upon the whole
we lhnk the soil is rather sandy at any rate, il
would appear as though there was some sand mixed
I'D with it. We are always suffering from drought
but we are happy to learn that no great inconveni-
eAce is experienced from this cause throughout the
country generally.

Tne SONG or fhe camn.

cRlMEAN INcIDRNT-BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
Give us Song - the soldiers cried.
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent seoff,
Lay, grim and threatening, under;
And the tawny mound of the Malakoff
Ne longer belched its thunder.
There was pause. The guardsman said
6" We storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while We may, another day
VIII bring enough of sorrow."
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts, from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not of fame;
Forgot was Britain's glory
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang " Annie Laurie
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battlo-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
Yet, as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers check
Washed off the stains cfpowder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire of hell
r aimed on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot, and burst of shell,
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes ale dim
For singer dumb and CORY;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of" Annie Laurie
All, soldiers to your honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.

Human Skeleton Found Near This Place.

Last week we had tribe of Gipsies tenting about
a mile from this place, wro seem to have explored
the whole surrounding country. One of them in
wandering through the woods which lie between
Messrs. N. NJ. Longs and w. H. Ponton's skeleton
OF human being, with scarcely anything remaining
but the bones. AT first considerable interest was
excited as to the identity of the remains. Upon en-
quiry, was ascerained that some two months sincs
deranged woman, the property of Mrs Dr. Bond
had gone off from Col. Longs, and although very
strict and extensive search had been made she was
no where found Remnants of clothing which wnra
about the bones leave doubt that the unfortunate
woman died at that place from cold.-Weldon Pa

SENATOR B1ccs.--We have just fshished the pc
rusal Of the speech delivered BY Hon. Asa Biggs in
the Senate of the United States on the Both ult on
tho subject of the Naval Retiring Board. 1t is a
thoughtful, well compacted argument evincing care
full examination into the facts and reasonings bear
ing upon the question under consideration. Its con
illusions are legitimaely and fairly drawn and the
points in tho case seized upon with more than COM
mon ability. The Hon. Senator while offering for
chile defence for the of the Secretary of the
Navy, takes occasion to pay we'll mcritcd tribute to
a distinguished Son of North Carolina, of whose
fame and character North Carolnans of all par
ties, have reason 10 be proud.
This first elaborate effort of one of our new Sona-
ators, is such as 10 do him no discredit even when
brought into comparison with those Of the most dis
tnguished members Of that highly distinguished body
the U. S. Senate. Aiming not at brilliancy it is
caImR, argumentative and statemanlke and above all
characterized by that conscientious industry which
marks everything proceeding from its author
