HON. WILLIE p. MANGUM.

We learn from gentleman living in Mr. Man

home by paralysis For some time past he has
been unable to walk about but very little, if at all
His legs from his hips down paralyzed, and his
tongue seems considerably affected in the same
way. He still has the use of his arms. 49,.
1t will be remembered that Mr. Mangum repre-
scented this State in the Z. S. Senate for a number
of years during the ascendancy of the whig party;
occupying, for some time, the honorable position
OF President pro. tenn. of that body. The gentle
man who informed US of Mr. Mangum's affection,
also rehearsed to us an incident connected with
his early history; the substance of which is, that
Mangum, when quite youth, was witness in
some important suit in Orange County Court, and
gave in his evidence with so much exactness and
clearness, and stood severe cross-examination so
we'll, that one Of the lawyers who conducted the
case, took him and educated and instructed him
in law, which enabled him afterwards to rise to
the eminent position he attained.
Although seriously afflicted, it is said he takes
as much interest in politics

Corn, CoTToN AND CHINESE SUGAR CANE
We are reminded that early in this month is the
time for planting Chinese Sugar Cane seed The
experiments last year entirely satisfactory;
and it will be great saving for every to plant
little. There is no humbug about this The
stuff will make saceetening and mistake. But
then don't neglect other things account of this
Remember if you do not make Corn, you can have
no pork-without corn your pigs will squcal, and
without pork your stomachs will be uneasy. Plant
little sugar cane and great deal of corn. And
don't run wild about the present high prices of
Cotton, and pay too much attention to the culture
of that article to the neglect of grain. Next year
cotton may not bring half of the present figures,
and corn and wheat may be worth twice as much.
