Removal OF the Sheriff of Craven.

We learn from the New Berne papers that
+. NJ. HARPER, Sheriff of Craven County,
has been removed from Office by order
of General SICKLEs, for disobedience Of
orders. The disobedience consisted of de-
clining to go to Jones County to execute
precept.
The Journal Of Commerce says of the Off
Ger removed:
"No man in the county is more popular than
Sheriff Harper and in retiring from office he VIII
carry with him the good wishes Of the community.
The position of sheriff isrOt pleasant one at any
time-at present it must be exceedingly disagree
able, especially for a civilian.
In more quiet days, Mr.. Harper will learn now
his services appreciated by the peorle OF u a
ven Couuty.'
Captain J. E. FLEMING, late OF IIDD1'
FLEMING & Co., has received the appoint
ment of sheriff Of this gentleman, the
same paper remarks:
seOur acquaintance with Capt. Fleming is slight,
but we have hesitation III expressing the opln-
ion that outside the native population no appoint
ment could have been made more acceptable to the
community"

Crops in South Carolina.

A gentleman who has very recently
Travelled through Sumter, Marion, Oar
lington and Chesterfield districts, South
Carolina, reports. that on an average in
these counties the corn crop is barely in
different, and the cotton crop even worse
in fact, bad. The people are somewhat de-
spondent in view of this distressing con-
dition, yet the yield will be greater than
they even hoped, after the heavy rains
The cotton crop since that time, under the
warmth of the sun, improved very much.

DIRECT TRADE.-There are now in our port no
less than six vessels five briggs aid one barque-
with an aggregate tonnage of 13,7 tons, all load
ing for Liverpool and London with naval stores
principally spirits of turpentine. This manifesto
ton OF an interest on the part of our merchants
in direct Shipments is pleasing one. 1t has
long been matter of much surprise to Us why
the direct trade was not more largely encouraged
and greater number Of shipments made to the
old World. II parties i'll New York can purchase
naval stores there at an advance the price here,
and realize neat profit by chipping to foreign
perts, why cannot our merchants pursue the same
course with equally advantageous results. 1t is
true the parties in New York have the tax paid by
the producer refunded on their draw-bac papers,
but the same result would attend foreign ship
ments from tbs port soon information
reached the Collector of Internal Revenue Of the
arrival Of the produce over the waters This tax
of ten cents per gallon collected from the pro-
Queer is an item worthy of consideration, and the
course pursued in refunding it when the
produce is shipped to foreign ports is one
which our merchants should avail themselves Of
The thus refunded, on even one hundred
casks of spirits, would be no inconsiderable one,
and we are please to see that our mercantile men
alive to its Importance, and are beginning, at
last to try the experiment of foreign shipments.
We trust that this direct trade will increase in
growth, feeling assured, we do, that it is not
Without advantages to our people and city.

your request to furnish you with lnforma-
ton relative to the crops, will say that
never before in my recollection has the
prospect been so gloomy. The fertile bot
toms of New Hope and Morgan's Necks
have been SO overlowed that it has been
impossible to prepare the land for crop.
No small portion of the land has been
abandoned for this year, and much that Is
planted put in after the 4th July. The
upland is more grassy than l ever saw 1t
before do not think that with the most
propitious seasons and very late fall we can
make more than half crops of corn or cot
ton. The wheat in this Immediate section
is very inferior, and some of the very best
crops were entirely washed away. The
upland oats are very fair. [ passed over
the road lately from Morganton to Weldon;
some few fields of wheat looked quite
handsome, others were very badly winter"
killed, but I did not see, with the excep-
ton of few fields in the Catawba Valley,
q single plantation of good, forward corn.
So much for crops.

MARTIN has resigned his chair in the Uni
versity, and is to leave the State. With
the exception of his rebel sins, there is
nothing to be said against him. He is a
thorough scholar, good instructor, a sin
cere friend and christian gentleman. I
hope he may meet with the success in his
new home that his varied requirements
and many virtues merit. A.

GoLDsBoRo', July 81, 1867.
NesSrs. Editors Il see from your paper
to-day, that you desire reliable accounts OF
the crops in the various counties in the
State, and as [ am acquainted with theil
condition in some few counties, [ propose
to give you brief account. The crops in
Hyde county are very materially I'M ured.
I may safely say, that in this county the
crops are cut off at least one-half if not two
thirds. Col. Carter, who owns one of the
best farms of its size in the county, and
who confidently expected to make fifteen
hundred barrels of corn, wrote to friend
in Washington, a short time since, that he
did not think he should@make fifty bar
rels. I think though the recent good
weather will enable him to do much better
than that The crops in Beaufort county
are not so good as they generally are in
in Beaufort county is fair, considering
the rains. It, however, is better
/ think, than the corn crop in either
Wilson Or Pitt, but the cotton crop in these
two counties is better, generally, than it is
in Beaufort. [ have just passed through,
yesterday and to-day, large portion of
cotton both in Pitt and Wilson, and think
some as good cotton as I have seen at this
season, of any past crop, for the past four
or five years. It may not be as we'll boiled,
but it is as large and of as fine appear
ance.
At Gen. Grimes plantation I saw very
fine cotton. The corn though at this farm
was only fair. Taking his crop of cotton
altogether, (for it is a very large one)
think it is the best have seen in either
Beaufort, Pitt or Wilson. saw some larger
cotton in both Pitt and Wilson, but the
fields were generally small, averaging from
ten to forty acres. At Gen. Grimes I saw
several stalks having on them from six to
ten bo]ls nearly as large as an hen egg. /
saw very pretty cotton at Mr.. Henry Shep-
pard's, and Mr.. Richard Bynum's, in Pitt,
and also at Mr.. Robert Bynum's, of Will
son, and the farms adjoining. On Mr..
Browns farm, near GreenYille, [ saw a
very large and good crop of corn.
The best cotton I saw was near Wilson.
The crops in all this section of country,
from Beaufort to the town of Wilson, have
suffered to some extent for want of rain.
but very fine rain all through this section
on Monday evening will relieve this dam
age to very great extent. consider that
the crop of cotton in the counties of Beau
fort, Pitt and Wilson, if we have late Fall,
will be very near fair one. The corn crop
lido not think will average SO well. The
crops on the Railroad from Wilson to Colds
boro, [ consider inferior. I have, in &C.
cordance with the request expressed in
your paper written the above, though I
have done so hurriedly, and if it can be of
any service, you are welcome to publish it.

Spirits OF WOoD.-We were shown by Mr. Alex.
Sprunt, Thursday, sample of spirits Of wood
manufactured at Shoe Heel Robson county, by
Messrs. r. & J. c. McCaskill by the new distilla-
ton process. The spirits is beautifully clear and
transparent, and is applied to many uses. 1t is
accounted excellent in cleaning machinery and
metals of all kinds and in the mixture of paints
is said to be equal to Oil and spirits thrpentine.
The process by which this spirits is distilled, is
by steaming the wood in retort without the ap-
plication of water. In addition to the spirits a
species of oil is also obtained, and a substance
resembling pitch, though moru brittle and jet
like. The Oil is said to serve the purpose Of a
lubricator, and is excellent in it's application to
heavy machinery. An acid is also obtained in
this distiation process, the uses of which we
have not learned.

duce exported from this port for the month end
ing July 31st., and compared with the months
of June, 1867, and July, 1885, which will be found
on the first page. While not so much differ
ence is noticeable between the quantity Of articles
exported during tile past month, and those during
the month previous, there is an evident increase
over that shown in the report of the month of july
1866. This is at least some encourag ement, and

10 tie Editors oftAe Wilmington Journal:
Not having seen any report in the news
concerning tie present crops in
Johnston county, and feeling assured that
you would appreciate correct and reliable
account of the crops in this out-of-the-way
place, will briefly state that, at one time
the prospect for an abundant crop was
never more promising, but the late rains,
from all the information / can gather from
different portions of the county, land feel
ing deeply interested) nearly three fourths
Of the corn crop has been destroyed; in
fact, [ believe [ would be sustained in
making the assertion that not One-fOurth of
corn crop will be made on Neuse river
bottom land. [ have not been able to find
but few farmers who expect to make enough
corn for bread. The prospects for next year
look really gloomy. [ predict there will
be great deal of suffering here in the next
eighteen months.
The cotton having been planted on the
best upland, did not suffer SO much as the
corn. It is generally conceded that the cot.
ton crop is damaged fully one-fourth.-
We have had two weeks fair weather. This
gave us fair opportunity to clear the grass
from the cotton. The cotton looks as we'll
as could be expected under the circumstan-
ces.
In conclusion, I will add, that from re-
ports from all portions of the State, be-
lieve there is less crime committed in John
ston county than most any other county in
the State. 1t is gratifying to be able tc
make this statement. The freedmen gene.
rally behave very we'll.
