ARREST OF MR. RcRAE.-The Fayette-
vile News states that d. G. McRae, Esq,
of that town, whose confinement at Fort
Macon we have heretofore noticed, was AZ
rested under orders from General Miles.
The CorroN CEop-We learn from a
merchant of this city, who has just returned
from visit to several of the Eastern coun-
ties of North Carolina, that the planters of
! that section have failed to get Il stand of
cotton, and many of them are now blowing
up their cotton fields and planting corn
The Spring has been backward we may
almost say there has been no warm wealth
err :; and the cold night winds have been
very unfavorable to the cotton growth. 49,
The young plant is one of the most tender
which springs out of the ground; the seeds
this year were much better than those OBJ
tainable last year and the year before the
plants came up finely, but Ill a short time
turned down, grew white and died. We
cotton fields, when the seasons were unfa-
vorable, cold and wet. It is now too late
in the season to plant cotton and hence,
we understand, the crop of that section may
not be expected to be as large as last year,
when, from several of these counties, large
amounts of cotton were exported, one
county Edgecombe) having produced 3d.
