A rumor has obtained currency that several gentlemen of our county were already in the field as candidates for the next Legislaiure. Without stop ping to consider the claims of any of the gentlemen whose names have been suggested, we must say that we are op posed '.o the whole movement, as in our humble judgment the agitation of pol ities at this earl v day must inevitably prove detrimental to the private inter ests of everybody—most especially to the vital interests of our planters, upon he success of whom every other branch of industry depends. The signs indi’ cate ihajb the coming canvass will be an intensely exciting one, and when fairly open, will engross tho public mind, and a'.tract the attention of all classes of citizens. Four months yet intervene between the present time and the elec tion, and as many weeks will be fully long enough to excite the people and disturb the business of the country.— We are fully aware that several combi nations have been attempted, but till melted atvay like early snow when it touches the yet unfrozen ground, and we had indulged the hope that aspirants for political honors, af or these failures, would desist from their efforts to ad vance their private interests when every effort in that direction was so palbabjy injurious to the public welfare — Last year was a terrible failure in every depar'ment of our farms,and at this very time many of our people are driven to the utmost extremes to make the present crop—living on little, anything, and in many cases almost nothing. The present year, so far, has been extraordinarily sesaonable, and a bettor prospect for an abundant crop of all kinds has not been seen in old Burke county for years, and if the seasons continue and our laborers remain faithful to their work, ouce more will plenty bless the land. Under these difficulties and with these prospects, we tire informed, our laboring people, both white and black, are laboring dilligent- ly to retreivc the disasters of last year. It is well known that the great body of our laborers belong to the colored race, and are an excitable people, and if stir red up on politics will neglect their work, and give their attention to these matters. For these reasons, we believe that every thinking man in the county — especially our farmers—will sustain us in saying that i: were far better to let politics alone lor at least two months, when the crops will be secured. Candi dates will then have ample time to spend all their surplus cash, tell all their virtues, and hea” all the ir faults told by their neighbors. 'e remembrance their warm hearted disinterested assistance in that krgency—raising and paying for him ie of $200. jucli generosity to a comparative jr, and such loyally to the priu- mf friendship, make it no less a [than a pride and pleasure for him jiis grateful thanks in this Tic way.

STEPHENS. Mr. Editor : In the last issue of the Herald there appeared a com munication, in which these remarka ble phrases occur; ‘‘It is singular that men ot' no political experience should so bitterly oppose the course of the great Commoner.’’ Further down, as if to explain the cmi9e of such a Quixotic utterance, the “potent, grave and reverend” Ex ponent of Political Experience gives vent to the following burst of senti mental gush and enthusiasm : “Thou shalt not bow down and worship, etc., is the sole injunction against a desire on my part to do so, and cousider him (Mr. Stephens) morally and politically spotless.” In this intense style is the agony piled on, until the highly-imaginative Doctor passes off in a delirium of frantic transport, which is climaxed and happily terminated by a felieitious invoca tion ! • The style of the said glowing article is highly tragic, not to say pathetic —while the polemical display is astounding and profound. To the average thinker, it is neither amaz ing nor perplexing that otic, who is so easily translated into the realms of blind idolatry and hero-worship, should-at the same time be guilty of such singular sentiments and expres sions. The writer, unfortunately, possess “no political experience,” and consequently — according to the sublime logic of the aforesaid ais- thetic article, is sadly deficient in the capacity to judge, and should not, therefore, ‘‘so bitterly oppose the course of the great Commoner yet he is an humble individual of a large clays, who do not view political characters through the highly mag nifying glasses of the enthusiastic Doctor, and who have not that ex alted conception of the sootless and immaculate sage of Liberty Hall.— Furthermore, there are thousands of intelligent voters all over the State who, while they do not posses iu an eminent degree the all-necessarv “political experience,” are preemi- nently capable of approving steadfast loyalty, and condemning (by their ballots) palpable duplicity. Conse quently, unbeknown perhaps to the enthusiastic Doctor, who in his senti mentalism secs but one man, there exists a large class of persons who are not wafted into heroics by the eccentric platitudes of this erratic astronomer of the political heavens. This little man, Alec. Stephens, has been inflated until he stands, like the Colossus of Rhodes, with one foot on the neck of the Bourbons, and the other extremity on the body <>f the Coalitionists, and in the attitude of a thundering Jupiter, he issues his mandates and orders—yet he will find many who. animated with some thing of the same spirit that inspired Cassius, will not creep under the huge legs uf this political Tarquin and peep about to find themselves dishonorable graves. If this he pre sumption, then make the most of it. Brutus. — Mr. C. W. Hurst now smiles till his face resembles a circular saw. Its a girl, and one of the finest in the county. —“To border or not to border V' is now the question which agitates our young ladies in the making up of their new muslins. Never mind whether you do or not girls—you are bound to look sweet and pretty in them anyhow. —Mr. Thos. Cates, one of the most intelligent and progressive farmers of our county was in town to day, and paid us a pleasant little visit. He informs us that his son J. S. harvested a rattle snake, hauled him up in a load of oats, and put him in the barn. One rattle and a button. —On Thursday last, we received a few sstuple stalks of cotton taken from a field of Mr. W. J. Herrington, who lives near Mobley's Pond, which was over knee high, and covered with squares. It is a sample of our finest crops, and we think bids fair to pile up the fleecy staple next fall. —A curious phenomenon in the shape of a peculiarly shaped cloud, attracted some attention on Wednes day evening. It arose apparently from the ground in the northwest, cone-shaped, and almost as white a.s snow, like a huge balloon to a great height, and remained some half hour before it dissipated. It was a strange appearance, but pretty. —Wo are under obligations to Mr L. II. Routzahn for our first cucum bers this season. Mr. R. informs ua that lie has so many his family can not destroy them. He has been en joying the luscious roasting ears for a week, strawberries for two months, and an abundance of a variety of fine vegetables until they have become common placed. ICE. ICE.
