Prof. TaylOr's Concert.

ED- The concert Of Prof TAYLOR, last
Friday Evening, was very we'll attended,
but was not as fully patronized as it de-
served. To our mind it was the most
satisfactory musical exhibition that we
have seen in our village, and was none
the less pleasing because, with the single
exception of Mr.. TAYLOR, the perform
ers were all from our own village. The
Cantata had been well rehearsed, and
was most smoothly and excellently rem.
dered, in its choruses and semi choruses
as we'll as in its solos. The miscellane-
Gus programme contained number Of
musical gems, and they were pleasingly
given. Mr.. TAYLoR's Instrumentation
astonished the audience by its delicacy,
intricacy and brilliancy. The affair re-
flected great credit upon him, both as a
teacher and as performer, and was
gratifying to US all as a people in the
satisfaction arising from the knowledge
that we have in our midst musical abili-
ty and capacity to give us SO excellent
a treat.

and this State, more than has ever been
sown in any previous year. 1t looks fine.
Through Illinois the corn crop is good.
except through the counties Of Kankakee

half crop, which is the case in Newton

Potatoes are selling at one dollar per

North.Carolina Bonds.

!NOrth.CarOlina Bonds -
Our opinion having been: asked in. regard to the
value of the several issues Of n G. State bonds and

give our readers the benefit of our information on
the subject
OLd 6 per cent. State bonds, it is known, COM
mand higher price in Richmond and elsewhere,
than the new issues Of certificates of or per cent
stocks, for severa; reasons. First the demand has
been very great for them about Richmond, for the
purpose Of remitting by under ground Railroad to
the North, of which it is said the Jew and the Gen
tile Spectators have monopoly, because they
stand higher in the New York market than any
other Southern stocks. Why they stand higher
there, the reader must be left to conjecture Sec
ondly, as they have coupons attached the interest
is collected without trouble or expense
The new and s per cent State stocks are issued
in certificates, and not in bonds with coupons at
tached for the reason, we presume that the
Treasurer has not been able to procure the requi-
site plates. Consequently, as there are no coupons
attached, holders must come to Raleigh to obtain
their interest
Some persons prefer the new to the g per cent.
stocks, for the reason that the per cent stocks
are convertible into cash or treasury notes when.

An eminently successful battle at Richmond on
our side, would have happy effect on Confederate
bonds and bring them fully into competition with

are assured has never witnessed so large freshet
oyerAowed the Roanoke River last week. The most
painful apprehensons felt for the total loss Of
the immense corn crop, because Of the difficulty Of
re-plantng in time.
At the farm house of 7. P. Devereux, Esq, in
Halifax, the water was never known to be so high
before by 10 inches His dwelling is situated on a
bluff, overlooking the farm. The water arose so
high around his dwelling as to prevent all egress
ingress, except to take it up to the armpis or in
canoes. His highest dykes Of levees were sub
merged. The loss of the crops, cattle, hogs &C. on
the river, both in Halifax and Northampton, must
have been very considerable. We learn that Col.
J.H. Whitaker, besides other losses, had three ne
pro men drowned. Even houses are said to have
been borne off by the current down the river.
