We have already mentioned the arrival
of new Carolina rice in New York. The
following facts regarding the crop in the
Carolinas and Georgia is published
The area planted this year, is about
equal to last; more would have been
placed under cultivation, but for the lack
of laborers. The yield, however, will be
increased, as the condition of the land has
been improved, and much more care be-
slowed in the cultivation. In nearly every
section the season has been usually favor
able, and there will undoubtedly be great
improvement also in the quality. The
parcel referred to was grown on the Ashe.

The Heavy specie Exports.

The New York W0rLd calls attention to
the heavy foreign draw of specie from our

drilled in these, the bridal party meet at the

positions to be occupied are assumed; the
huge trains are put in position; the steps

that he ought to be restrained of his liberty;
and accordingly, at his own request, he has
been conducted to the Worcester Asylum.
