WE make acknowledgements for card
of admission to the Tenth Annual Fair OF
tie Cumberland County Agricultural So
cety, to be held at Fayetteville, from the
- tn to the 22d insts.
WE had the pleasure Of meeting Col. T.
ID. Mcdowell Oh yesterday. We were
nrati.ied to see our old and esteemed friend
in such fine health. He is, and ever has
been, one of tie true and tried men of the
State. We regret that the Colonel does
not take a more active part in politics.
We hardly think it is fair for him to con-
suit his pleasure by keeping SO much in
the background. We cannot afford to
lose Colonel Mcdowell from the Councils
Of the State, especially in this day Of carpet
bagiSm and scalawagery.

Stuck full of reviewers. There We're on the
ground a large number of mIIlattoCs and
half dozen whites. lie seemed entirely
at ease, and during the progress OF the trial
manifested considerable interest i'll It. The
trial was held in the church. close log
building, from which it would have been
impossible for him to escape otherwise
than by Il door, yet he seemed to feel nc
apprehension, and but for the fact that he
constantly held his rifle in his hands &
stranger would not have seen anything II
his manner to betray the peculiar relation
i'll which he stood to society.
