The CROPS AND THE WEATHER.-We have had
the best opportunities for viewing the growing crops
in the South side counties between Richmond and
Lyn:hburg. The wheat generally is thin and the
heads small. particularly on unimproved lands,
which, however, is no new thing; but where the
fields well cultivated the crop is average one
though the has been too wet and cold to have
given it fair chance. 1t will be ready 10 cut if the
weather continues warm it now is, in a week
or ten days. Some of the fields on the Appomattox
look very well. The corn crop generally is doing
very well, though that, like the season, is behind
the time. The tobacco has been in some time, and
the plant in fields is nearly six inches high
Laborers everywhere busy in the tobacco fields
early and late with the cutivator and the hoe, weed
ing and nursing. Our planters anticipate good
crop. Fruit will be plentiful but not abundant. In
sheltered localities apples and peaches are fair

TIE WHEAT CRoP.-It is painful to witness the
destruction that has overtaken the wheat CROP from
the ravages of the rust. A few weeks back and the
prospect for an abundant harvest was never more
fiattering. 1t was really cheering to look upon the
fields burdened with their heavy uxurant growths,
giving promise to the husbandman Of a rich remu.
neration for his toll and labor. Now the scene is
changed and he can barely hope to gather more
than will compensate him for seeding and reaping.
We are assured by some Of our agricultural friends
that the injury sustained will diminish the crop from
one-half to two thirds The small quantity gather
ed will be Of an inferior quality, the grain very
small and very light. The damage has been mate
rally increased in many places by heavy falls of
hail. We hope however an increase in price, may,
in measure, supply the loss in quantity, and thus
prevent the farming interests from the heavy suf-
fering that now seems inevitable.-Ezisabeth City

Whether the recent demonstrations of England
used premeditated cover for the Africaniza-
ton of Cuba, or only as an excuse to monopoliizc
the African labor supply for her own colonies, it is
certain that We have played very fooshly into her
hands in making partnerships for the suppression of
the slavetrade This looking after savers gives the
pretext under which the hated right of search (sel
dom exercised but never abandoned) is to be re-

will be supreme idiots if We continue the tools Of
this philanthropy" So says the Baltimore Es-

The BRITISH MINISTER AT WAsHINGTON-The
Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
says:
Lord Napier is one of the sharp ones. He has
connections all about here. Sir Gore Ouseley is
equaed at pulling the chesnuts out of the fire, and
as he has any amount of American connections, the
game may 60 against us rather badly in the discus

here in certain circles. vastly than the French
or the Spanish. or the Russian. There is such a
weakness to get into the charmed circle of the Queens
representative! Senators that plume themselves up
on their ability and their influence, grave statesmen,
courters all seek for the entree to My Lord. State
secrets have poor chance of it in such . rush.

Know NOTHING RESPECT FOR THE PEoPLE.-The
Register in article in its issue before the last in
which it assais Judge Ellis and urges its Know Moth
ing friends to vote for Mr. McRae speaks of the great
body Of Judge Elliss supporters as a NANCY, an
soashed pack, uho be Aara ed upon any track by
the lash Of the sohippers in. This is specimen of
the respect entertained for the great body Of the
people by Mr.. McRaes file leader in North Carolina.
In the same article the Editor regrets that his
I" limited ability" prevents him from being "infinite-
" more efficient" in Mr.. McRae's behalf than he
can be. We think, if the Editor continues thus to
assail and insult the people. that Mr. McRae himself
will be infinitely obliged to him to cease his ad-
vocacy of his claims. It will do him more harm
than good. -

for several days. and was to much dis6gured to be
identified. The body was well dressed and present

az Congress adjourned on Monday last. The
President however. convened the Senate in special
session on Tuesday, to act on Executive business
1t was supposed the Senate would be in session but
a day or two. For notice of the adjournment of
Congress, see article in another column, from the
Washington Union.
The announcement made by the President that
he would not sign any bills unless an opportunity
was given him to examine them in detail, has had
most salutary effect the legislation of Congress-
No attempts were made, as at former sessions, to
rush bills through at the close of the session, be-
cause it was known that they would not be approx.
ed unless time allowed to the President to ex.
anime them; and the result has been that no bad or
doubtful measures have been passed into laws. Mr..
Buchanan deserves the thanks of the country for
this salutary reform. The two houses of Congress
adjourned quietly and tremendously, after session
of some six months, during which much business of
importance has been considered and transacted.

Franklin County.

FT6nklln County,
We learn that the campaign commenced at Louis
burg on Tuesday last. Menalcus Landlord, Esq. is
the Democratic candidate for the Senate, and W. F.
Green ESQ.,, the old member, is the Democratic cam
didate for the Commons
We learn with surprise and regret that D. W.
Spivy, Esq, who processes to be Democrat, has
taken the field for the Senate against Mr. Landlord,
the regular candidate. John E. Thomas, ESQ.,, old
line Federalist and double distilled K. n, is candi-
date for the Commons against Mr.. Green
We sincerely trust that Mr.. Spivy will reconsider
his course, and withdraw from the field No real
supposed grievance can justify him in opposing
the regular action Of his party. In the first place
he cannot be elected and in the second place if he
could be elected, his influence in the Legislature
would be crippled by the manner Of his triumph,
and in the end his usefulness as public man would
be destroyed. In either event it is bad policy in
him to be candidate. He may injure the party
in Franklin somewhat, but he cannot damage it ma.
terially. He may yet save himself by Withdrawing;
but if he should hold he will inevitably 60 down,
and 60 down finally as public man.
