Eg CvLTIvATlvE FLAx.-Sovcral per.
sons have requested us 10 call the at.
tention of the agricultural readers to the
importance OF the cultivation Of flax
We are assured that the ground in this
vicinity IS well suited to the growing Of
flax, aud that it, cultivation NAV be-
probably engaged in. Cotton which
sold in 1860 for twelve cents poupl
now commands nine cents. Could an
abundance of fax DO obtained, the rise
OF cotton would in great measure cease,
as an article for manufacturing purposes.
AS there arc no prospects at present OF
mn adequate supply Of cotton being fur.
nlshed for several years, our farmets
should at once commence the raising Of
ilax, as one Of their crops,
Its stated that from tho a OK raised on
ono acre of ground about fourteen bush
els Of seed can be obtained, and for the
Iced alone the crop is not un remunora.
tive, Six hundred pounds of fibre can
be raised upon one acre Of ground At
thirty cents per pound tone third that
ofcotIon at present pricos), tho value Of
an acres product woulj be less than one
hundred and eighty dollars. Novor be.

The Raleigh IN. c. Standard of March 25th
gives an account OF bread riot that had lust
taken place near that city. A company OF
women. most OF them soldiers wives, went to
the store of William Welsh, at High Point,
rolled out several barrels of molasses and
divided it. The Standard remarks on this
occurrence :-"Welsh is a great war man, and
favors general impressment OF supplies by the
army
The same paper gives particulars of other
riotssand referring to them exclaims :-"Bread
end God only Knows A letter is copied by
the Standard from another North Carolina
paper, giving an account Of another riotous
outbreak of the women 1T Salisbury, in that
state, a place with which some OF our soldiers
have become acquainted. The letter is dated
March 18th. and says: =
"There was a mob raised here yesterday,
consisting mostly Of soldiers wives, and led on
by hunger, I suppose, and hatred against
spectators. They armed themselves with
hatchets, and congregated ut the depot for the
purpose OF breaking in, II necessary, and
getting some flour slowed away by some specu-
lator
The agent refused them admittance, but
finally agreed to let three OF the women in, and
said if any more got in they would have to
walk over him. At this a large. stalwart
woman made at him with hatchet. He backed,
and they rolled out ten barrels of -four owned
by man In Charlotte, and had it hauled mp.
Subsequently they appropriated several bags
OF salt belonging 10 private parties. They also
marched TO the store of one Mr.. Brown, a
speculator in flour. and demanded to be let in;
but the door was closed, and they went 10
work in good earnest to break it down. Mr.
Brown, 10 satisfy them, told them he would
give them ten barrels if they would leave and
let him alone. They finally agreed 70 it, and
sent for dray to haul it to the market house
for the purpose of making an equal division OF
it.
Next in order they visited DR.. ]. H. EnnisE,
who had bought some flour for his own use.
He asked them in and gave them three barrels.
Next they said they must have some molasses.
and stralghtway they proceeded 10 Sprague &
Bros and made their demand known, when
Splaaue II Bros. gave them all they had.
which was little over halt barrel The mob
then repaired to the market house, when, it
being too late 10 make out the share of the i'm
pressment, they moved it 10 w. III. Bakers.
