ALMOST INSTANTLY FLOODED.

Indeed, the levee remaining was so thin that
the workmen feared to enter the place to re-
pair it. This cave was the result of a gopher
burrow, where the rascally rodent had gone
into the leyee from the inside about half
way up, then burrowed downward and river
ward three feet, and then on parallel with
the river through the center of the levee a
long distance. The sipage water accumula-
ted IN this burrow and was held there by the
high outlet to it until the whole bank was
weakened as described. The damage was
repaired with great difficulty and the situa-
ton saved by men and ready filled sand-bags
being close at hand. Trustee Davis was
asked yesterday concerning the patrolling of
the levees. He replied that he had arranged
for the patrol Of the Front-street leyee, and
supposed it was watched The RECORD
UNION statement of yesterday showed that
no watchmen could be found on it from mid
night to A II. yesterday. Mr.. Davis has
accordingly now arranged for two watehmen
from o street TO street, and proposes to
see that these men are found on duty here
after. From street north along Front he
relies upon the patrol of the police depart
ment. On the north levee he SAYS he has
placed a patrol from Seventh street to
Brighton. consisting of three men with horses
and with lanterns. II occasion for alarm oc-
ours one of these is to proceed to the city and
give notice, and the others remain at the
point of danger. He says he has on hand
plentiful supply of sand-bags, the greater por.
ton being stored in Crocker's railroad ware
house. Mr.. Davis expressed the opinion that
the whole north levee is secure, and that no
danger need be apprehended from that quar-
ter, but ne should see that strict watch over
it is maintained.
Two gentlemen were yesterday afternoon
inauiring for the Mayor to inform him that
the son of one Of them had overheard two
fellows talking about what fine chance there
would be for stealing in case the city levees
should break.

The Farmers Meeting.
FRANKLINToN. \. C.. Sept. II

FRANKLINToN, n. c., Sept. Is.
QLiteanumber of farmers held aMeet
ing to day at B. [. Holden's cotton gin,
in Franklin township, for the purpose
Of trying to effect a basis for the settle
ment Of their debts with fertilizer man
uf~acturers. A list of names will lie
presented to them on a petition asking
them to make a reasonable rebate to
the signers. The farmers were prompt
ed to this action on account of the up-
parallsled shortness of the crop of cot
ton, caused by the long continued
drought, which has reduced the crop
in this section to less than one half au
average crop, and if payment in full Is
e1acted it will bsggar and ruin many
farmers. The following resolutions.
we're passed:
Resohed, That we who have con-
tracted debts with fertilizer manufac
turing companies or their agents, for
The purpose Of raising the present crops
and being anxious to pay the same,
ask them, in order to enable us TO do
SO, to make US q rebate accordln. &c
the yield OF the crop on which We used
fertilizers.
ResoIred, That while We contracted
those debts, as in past years, with the
expectation of payiag the same when
the present crop was gathered, and AS
credit was given us upon the expectancy
of our ability to do SO, and nov AS our
utter inability to do 30 is plain and
clear beyond the shadow of a doubt.
we, in order to try to MAINTAIN u
credit. preserve ourselves and our am
lies from ruin, and also to enable Us to
attempt to make another crop, pass these
resolutiops:
Resolced, That whereas cotton is now
bringing about four. cents more IN the
market than what We expected to get
when we purchased the fertilizer, there
is no reason why the fertilizer manu-
fscturers should o be able to make
reasonable deduction in the amount OF
lint cotton which they we're to receive
and then realize more in dollars and
cents than they wsuld II there had been
Q full crop made
Resoirei, That where land WAS rented
for n stated amount of Int cotton hat
deem it rotning Dut reasonable to ask
,he landlords also TO make \ deduction

A COOP OrYER.-A correspondent
of the Raleigh Lbsercer, writes from
Gold,boro, under date of Sept 2nd as
fellows:
There need be no fear of a corn
famine. The counties of Hyde, Beau

make a sufficient surplus to supply any
county in the State whose crop has fail
ed. One of the most successful farmers
in Hyde county, told me ON Monday,
that he would contract to put on the
cars at Newhern, Of this years crop.
30 900 bushels of corn at 20 cents

January to complete the delivery, he
will make the contract at O. cents pei
