The undersigned is prepared to furnish to the
public very superior article of Lubricating OIL espe-
cially for Cotton and Wooen Factories We claim that
the Oil does gum and may be at greater speed
with less power than any other Oil except Sperm.
Mr. W Ii Porter, Superintendent of PEenix Cotton
Factory SAWS of it, al have been using yoH~ Lubricat
ing Oil for or months and find 1t TO be superior to
any other Oil now in for llbricating"
Mr. John Kershaw, Sup't of Blounts Creek Factory,
says: 81 cheerfully say your Lubricating Oil is
superior article. 1t does not gum in the least, but
keeps the journals clear and bright"

DETENTIoNs.-A good deal of complaint is
made by travellers that they have to lie over at
this point in consequence Of the N. G. and Char
lotte & s. c. Railroad trains not connecting. For
instance, the passenger traiD on the Charlotte 4
S C. Road arrives here eefly in the morning and
the train on the N. @ Road does not leave until
o'clock, D. m, ed sometimes passengers have
to stay here r4ght and part of day. 1t would
be a great accommodation to travellers, and espe-
cialy to sddiers, aud relief to this community,
if close connections were made at this place.
yne late order of the Sec'y Of War, stopping the
passenger trains on the N. G. Road, has caused
great Inconvenience to travellers coming from the
South. Even soldiers not permitted to go on
Occasionally few taken aboard the freight
train and carried as far Greensboro, from which
point they take it afoot we presume, to Danville.
If these stOppages necessary to the speedy
of Government frei ght, ought
TO compain but those who ought to know think
they are not necessary.

The CRoPs.-The Mobile Tribune learns, from
what it considers excellent authority, that the
cent cold weather has not much damaged the
wheat in Alabama and Mississippi. 1t is also esti-
mated that FIVE times the quantity of land mas
been sown with it as compared with last year.
Three months from now, if not sooner, -four will,
therefore, begin to be loose in the knees, and pro-
badly let down to living price.
