The CoTToN CRoP.-Mournful accoluls
reach us from the country in regard to tlr
great damage done to the Cotton crop bl
the late cold weather. A large proportion
Of the Cotton already up has been killed,
and it is seriously feared that the seed i'll
the ground has been so injured as to be Mt
terly worthless.
Though not too late to rcplant, yet most
of our farmers are unprOVided with seed.
Assiduous efforts are being made to obtain
a supply from other sections, but, we learn,
with Indifferent success, as most of the seed
has been used in planting and for compost
ing.
A number of farmers are already engaged
in ploughing up, and planting Corn.

PERSONAL. an absence in the West
for several months, Col. VIM +. BeasIey
has returned to Marlborough.
The Col. informs as that he has met with
the most gratifying success IN the intro.
duction of his process for making sugar
from Sorghum. In consequence of the
recent great damage done the Cotton crop,
many of our farmers will no doubt take
advantage of his presence to put in crop
of Sorghum which can be planted up to
the last of June. He has only a limited
supply of seed on hand, and those intend
ing to plant will do we'll to make an early
application. SOA1Srner.
Yesterday morning the curiosity of many
of our citizens, and especially Of the boys,
was raised by the appearance on our streets
of velocipede school. The internal M
chine was guided by Mr.. Richard Morris
a young man of Wilmington, \. g., who
is here with four or five velocipedes, the
of Mr.. W. G. Beale, formerly OF
this town, who we understand will open
a velocipede school in this town. Gel
