Are creditors bent on running the unfor
tunate debtors. There is no money i'll the
country, how can they pay their property
will have to be sold, if they have any, which
will probably destroy their prospects fol
life. The crops were very short this year
give them chance to raise another.

CROPS IN AlECKLENRUEG.-W We learned in
conversation with the planters from various
sections that ample preparations are max
ing for seeding fell crop of wheat. The
corn crop is being housed and is turning
out much better than was anticipated. The
clear dry fall has done much for the cot
ton, particularly by enabling it to be pick
ed out clean and in good condition. Not
much has been made in this section, but
what there is, is of the best quality.

'sLIrTLE' WAsHINGToN.-A correspondent
writing from Washington, \. c., Oct, 30,
says:
LIT looks like busy times around our
wharves. The (AIurray) steamer Louisa
Moore and seven or eight large schooners are
busily engaged discharging their cargoes
and receiving freight; Also quite a sprink
ling of small craft, &c, i'll our harbor."
We are glad to hear this and trust Little
Washington may thrive and prosper. She
suffered terribly by the way, but she has
enterprise and spirit enough left to recu-
perate. .--NerbeJm Commercial.
The BEAUFORT FISH BUSINESS. "A casual
observer would have no just conception of
the extent of the salt-fsh business now 60
ing on between Beaufort, Morehead City,
&c, and the interior. We happened to
stroll through the freight depot of the At
lantic and North Carolina Railroad yester-
day afternoon, and were struck with the
large amount of fish we saw there. On en-
enquiry, we were informed that corned
mullets are being shipped from below by
pared to hear this, for the business is of
Comparatively recent origin.
The prices obtained for this tish-which,
by the way, is the best in the world of its
be highly encouraging to the
fishermen and all others concerned in the
sales, and must tend also, to the general
prosperity of Carteret county. The mullet
brings from seven to ten dollars per barrel,
according to the point of delivery. We are
glad to note these signs Of prosperity.
Carteret county has this year made quite
a jump towards prosperity. We learn that
she will send to market at least one thou
sand bales of cotton, whilst heretofore she
has sent almost none. Well done. Let us
all be up and doing there is no knowing
what we can achieve till we try.

OMINoUs 1t is rumored that a force of
United States troops estimated by some at
twelve hundred cavalry and five hundred
infantry, have been ordered to this State.
Whether this be true or not, Or what part
they are destined for, we do not know
One thing IS certain, however, contracts
are being made for the transportation Of
supplies of hay and oats to this
State and these supplies az not coming
here for nothing.
We feared this result to follow from the
acts of the bands of bad men who are
prowling about the State, and the worst of
the matter is that in all probability, the
State will be required to pay the cost of the
troops. Commercial.

AUTUMN The "sere and yellow leaf " is
full upon us. The primal frosts are rapidly
disrobing the trees of their foliage. The
grand luxuriance of our shade trees consti-
tutes, perhaps, the principal ornament of
Raleigh, and we see it pass away til anoth-
er Spring with regret.
The temperature begins to smack Of win
ter, and fires are comfortable and cheerful.
We trust that through the agency OF the
Young Mems Christian Association, and in
other forms OF organized effort, plans may
be adopted for relieving the wants of the
suffering poor during the coming hard seas
