The Norfolk Daq Book says:


&C We learn from one Of our citizens, who has
lust returned from visit to North Carollua. that
very large, proportion of the several counties
bordering on the Roanoke river, through which
ma travelled, is almost entirely under water, and
that the cotton crop in that region will be greatly
damaged If not total failure. We also hear
similar accounts from other localities IN the same
State as well as from other States further south.
GA hen reflect that 50 much money has been
extended for fertilizers for the present crop, ana
The pressing necessities OF our people, and INC e1-
forts which are being put forth 70 releVe them
selves from their present financial embaIrasments,

that the present rainy season 5as materially Gam

per of PENNSYLVANIA admits that the re-
suit of the approaching election in that
State is somewhat doubtful" while many

those gentlemen of tho injurious falsehoods
upon our section is what we expected from
them. If the paid correspondent or the
lying soiourner desires to injure our peo-
pie by wholesale SANDERS, they must get
other material to work upon, or locate
their outrages upon imaginary indivld-
uals and mythical estates, or they must
expect to have their lies crowded down
their own Threats for digestion. Such base
attempts to build up radical party IN the
South or foster it at the North, frequent
ly repeated, may have the tendency to cause
honorable men to desert those who achieve
success by such ignoble means.

The Weather and the Crops.

It is impossible, as yet, to tell the ad-
ditional injury the crops of this section have
sustained by the unprecedented rain storm
of Saturday afternoon. Possibly our far
mers had already sustained all the Injuries
possible from water, and the evil effect o.
the food on Saturday will be to delay the
abatement of the high waters, and thus pre-
vent, if it was not already too late, replant-
ing in the fields where crops have been to-
tally destroyed.
4 private letter from Pitt county, dated
the Odd ult., informs us at that time, after
the very hard rains of last week, that with
great exertions and large additional force,
giving constant attention to drainage, that
the crops on some plantations had been in
iured but little We trust that sufficient
tire elapsed between the rains to enable
the planters to repair their bitches, or the
asst storm must have been very injurious.
Another private letter from Dudley's De-
pot, written on Saturday, informs us that
the crops were very much injured in that
section. Ont of eight hundred and thirty
five acres of the writer in cotton five hundred
were under water The Neuse river had
fallen one inch at the date of the letter.
We hope to hear again from there, and other
friends in regard to this matter. Ourfriends
will greatly oblige us by giving us anthem
tic accounts Of the injury to and condition
of the crops.
The Wadesboro' ArguS says that the
wheat that was harvested, which the own
ers were compelled to leave in the shock,
is showing signs of sprouting, and we fear
that it will receive other injury before it
will be dry enough to be taken in and
threshed.
The oat harvest is on and the yield promi-
ses most beautifully. But the grain and
ground are so wet that the grain cannot be
cut
Farmers having corn in the low grounds
despair of saving it. Already a great por-
ton of it shows signs of irreparable injury.
Cotton also is very much injured, show,
ing signs of rot, &C., and is nearly killed
off by grass and weeds. Many farmers are
signifying an intention, if they cal get a
chance to work, of throwing out at least
one-fourth of what has been planted, in
order to try to save what remains.
The Weldon. correspondent Of the Peters
burg Express, writing under date OF the
9th ult., says that the apprehensions Of
the river farmers begin to be to some extent
relieved. The Roanoke river, after havin 6
been very much swollen by the recent pro-
tracted rains, commenced falling on thai
day. The water did not attain sufficient
height to do much damage, but few feet
more would have put it over thousands Of
acres of the best corn land in the State.
The New Bern Republican of Saturday
says that the cotton crop has been entire
ly destroyed on many plantations in era
ven and adjoining counties. Many of the
farmers have ploughed the cotton fields
and planted corn or peas.
From the Rutherford Star we learn thai
the rain has extended to that section and
much damage has been done to the planters

GENTLEMEN In your paper Of the Esd
inst, [ notice a poem suggested by the
omission of the name of General Petit
grew in my little poem Of Memorial Flow
ers. Permit me to say, that in writing that
poem, felt myself committed, as it were,
to certain amount of space. Otherwise,
the name of many hero who wore the
gray so grandly should have been associa-
ted with flower typical Of its owner Two
additional verses, however, have been in
<oduced since the publication Of the poem,
one containing the noble name of Ander-
son, and the other the brilliant one CT Pet
tigrew.
No lover of poetry or the gallant gentle
man who is the subject of the beautiful
poem by "Deani," can regret the original
omission, inasmuch as it has been the means
of adding such gem as the ''Suntlower, to
Southern literature.
MY verses, which came next to the one
concentrating another of the many he
roes of North Carolina, General Pender,
are these:
Let Notwithstanding fling its flower
For ANDERSON, the brave and good,
With SnOwdrops in a pearly shower,
And Southern wood.
And bid the Canterbury Bell
With gorgeous Tulips gemmed with dew.
Ring out family floating kneel
