Our Visit to Fayetteville.
We had the pleasure Of attending hast week the
Fair Of the Cumberland Agricultural Society, in the
town Of Fayetteville
Weleft home on Tuesday. and arrived at Barclays
,;re At four P NJ, where We spent the night Mr..
R,rbee though engaged in adding to his house, and
though somewhat pressed for room, gave to the COM
n,ny who tarried with him that night every accom-.
wears enioyed the Inequalities Of Mrs. Barclay, and
Who have so often praised her excellent table, will
,eoret to learn that she is confined to her room
and unable to see her guests
We arrived at Fayetteville on Wednesday, and
found lodgings at the Fayetteville Hotel. The Fair
had already commenced, and the town was pretty
rel filled with visitors and exhibitors from Cum
berland and lIarnctt and the adjoining Counties
On Wednesday evening. in company with several
friends we visited the United States Arsenal, on
Havmount, where we had the pleasure Of meeting
Can't Bradford, the officer in charge, who politely
showed us through the buildings and grounds. We
had often heard and knew something of this estab-
lshment but We confess were agreeably surprised
at what We witnessed of its extent and importance
Every North Carolinian who goes to Fayetteville
should make it point to visit the Arsenal. We
found every thing in the very best condition, the
result Of the knowledge skill and attention of Capt
Bradford Much praise IS due to the Hon. Warren
Winslow, the representative from the District for
the zeal and tact with which he has pressed the
claims Of this establishment on the government, and
for the success which has crowned his efforts. An
establishment like this in the centre of the State,
especially in such crisis Is now appears to threaten
us, cannot he too highly estimated or too warmly
cherished.
