It is now thought that the Wilmington and
Rutherford Rallroad, for the completion OF
which the State Of North Carolina has sub
scribed 81 900 ,00) will pass the Blue Ridge at
Butt Mountain Gap-the point at which the
Spartanburg and Union Railroad Company con-
template crossing also. Should this be true,
it might be agreeable on the part OF the two
com oanies, or the States by which they are
respectively fostered and encouraged, to unite
their strength, and thus, at much earlier
day effect the desired connection. Assuming,
however, that the Spartanburg and Union
Company will receive no outside assistance, 1t
is but fair to presume that if the General As
sembly grants the assistance asked Tor IN the
bill the work will be speedily accomplished.
There is only distance OF eleven and one-
fourth miles of the entire survey from Spar
tanburg to Asheville that San be called noun
famous, and the most competent engineers
have estimated that the maximum grade on
this division will not exceed sixty-three feet
per mile. The work on all other parts Of the
road will be comparatively light, running the
entire distance through o country that fur

cannot doubt that the General Assembly will

can yesse languishes, the coasting trade has
been kept ND mainly through the exertions

AFFAIRS IN THE STATE.
York.

The Enquirer says: The fine weather OF the
last two or three weeks has enabled our farm
ers to start their farming operations at o much
earlier period than usual. great deal OF
ground has been broken up already, and un-
less we have a very bad spell OF weather, the
crops OF 1869 will be started under very favor
nble auspices. There is every prospect OF On
early spring, and our people seem to be dong
all in their power to take advantage OF it.
There is, however, a lack OF feld-hands, nearly
every man who carries on anything like an
extensive farm being ready to employ one or
two more.
The following is the result Of the canvass of
children in York County The number OF chill
dren between the ages specified is five thou
sand nine hundred and one, OF whom three
thousand and eghty-six are males and two
ihousand eight hundred and fifteen are fe-
males. AS to race, they are Whites, three
thousand two hundred and seventy -three; In,
dans 27; colored two thousand six hundred
and one. These children belong to two thou
sand two hundred and eighty-seven families,
nine of whom havo each, seven children over
five and under eighteen ye rs old, there being
forty-two boys and twenty-one girls 10 these
nine families. The most prolific portion OF
the county ls ON Clark's Fork. In the neighbor-
hood of Allison's Store and Hickory Grove, as
tho largest number Of children il the same
numtor of families is found there. The col
ored element is most numerous in those sec
tions suited to the cultivation OF cotton, while
in the northwestern portion OF the county,
they are outnumbored by the whites in the
proportion Of fifty to one.

Considerable property was sold by the sheriff
on Monday last at fair prices, and large crowd
were in attendance. Oakman was on hand
with fine lot Of mules;and many were dispos.

command enormous prices in this section.
Darlington.
The Southcrner says there was great gath:
ering in Darlington village on Saturday, ane
adds: goodly amount Of property Of al
kinds changed hands, and from the spirited
bidding aud desire to invest, we would sup
pose that large quantity OF ''stamps" hat
found it's way here.
Tho same paper says: Monday last was re-
turn day, and IN spite Of all the hopes to the
contrary, large amount of business found itt
way into the hands of our lawyers, and from
thence to the mill" to be ground into home
steads," which all invariably claim whom push

for large amounts. an uphill business, besides
the danger OF plying costs.
