i Earlt Wheat.—The Seima (Ala.j Sentinel, of
the li3i, notices the receipt of a full head of wheat
from Mr. Sharp, near BurTisviHe, Dallas co., and
adds :
This, we think, is very early for wheat to be in
full head, ana, iu fact, we coul ■ not believe but
-hat it waa a volunteer sta k ; but Mr. Scarp in
formed ns It.a r he had acres of the very same, and
eh o‘d the spring be favo-able, taking this for
a criterion, the wheat crop will, beyond a doubt, be
very heavy.
From our exchanges in various parts of the State,
we have gleaned the following items in reference
to tne cold weather of Tuesday arid Weduetd&y
iaet:
After a long spell of most delightful weather, yes
terday ana the day previous were cool enough to
render tires and warm clothing necessary for com
fort. Yesterday morning, we thought cold enough
f ,r frost in tbe interior, but a- we have received no
intelligence to that effect, it is hoped thero was no
such disaster. — Has. Rep , 7th
We make the following extract from a private
letter dated Wainiigton, YVukes county, ApsitGth:
“We nad a h-avy tro=t this morning, and ice to
the thickness of a dime. Our gardens ,ook gloomy
tndetd, and I fear all the irui is I Dot. W o shad
doubtites have another killing Iroet in the morning,
to complete the destruction. Our wneat crop is
generally far a. vanned, and was very promising.;—
I I ave not cearri wuat effect the front has had ou it,
but pretuine it must be seriously injurtd.”
Ice.—On Tuesday night winter revisited ut for a
time and left behind a good amount of ice, which
was seen on Wednesday morning in various parts
of the town, ‘i nis is not a common occurrence in
this latitude, iu the month of April.— Alkt.ru Ban.
Btill Cold —Tuesday night was quite cold, and
we. learn that ice was formed in this vicinity. The
wind was astir, however, and White Jack lound it
an obetacle to his ravages. Here in the city noth
ing appears to have been killed. But the weather
continued quite cool yesterday, and fears of a se
veie frost last night were enter.ained. —Columbus

Frost.— I This morning we had a heavy froel in
this vicinity—sufficient to kill everything in the
way ot vegetables, that was growing. Ice couid
also be seen a quarter ol an inch or more m thick

The bKASoNS.—According to tbe Detroit Adver
tiser, wth the exetptiono! tbe seasons of 184d and
184 b, there has not been so ee.rly an opening ot
lake navigation in twenty-one years us the present
season.

quantities ot ice were seen in this locality ou Wed

The Wheat Ccop.—We are glad to learn that
wheat crops in this county looks very promising—
perhaps more so than t r several years past. If we
have no unfavorable weather we may hope to have
a more bouuteous crop ot wheat than we had last
year —LaGrange Reporter.
Kain, Bain !—Copious showets continue to fall
frequently iu this region, and the roads consequent
ly continue bad, and plautalion work is greatly

The Wheat Crop.— Tbe Rochester (N. Y.) Union
speaking of the growing crop of wheat iu Muitroe
County, says tbe ground sown last fall was nothing
in comparison to that devoted to wheat a few years
ago. yet there is enough to attract attention, and
cause anxiety for the crop. We are told by old
farmers, who are close observers, that the growing
plant is now forward, and looking remarkably well.
It lias suffered little or uoue from the winter expo
sure, and it is so promising now, that hopes are en
tertained that it will steal the march ou tho insect
and be saved. In regard to barley the same paper
says there was considerable breadth of ground de
voted to it last fall. The crop too, now looks pro
mising, aud if tiie yield shall be aa large as in far
mer years, it will be profitable.
Fruit.—Peacheß, apples, and other fruit, will be
abundant in bouthwesteru Virginia this season, if
the frost doesn’t nip the buds. A great deal of at
tention is being paid to tbecultuie of fruit in th -.t
section, and in Tazewell County alone, over 5,H00
trees have been transplanted from tho northern
nurseries. In North Carolina, too, great attention
is being paid to the culture oi fruit. The receipts
from its sales last year are estimated at $200,000.
It ia stated that in the Guilford region of that State,
the cash realized from dried truit alone is equal
every year to the amount cleared by the larmers
for the same period ten years ago, onallthepro
duc<> which they then sent to different markets.—

The Wheat Crop. —W'e have recently passed
through the entire length of East Tennessee, and
into Middle Tennessee, and we are pleased to ob
serve the promising appearance of the Wheat orop
all along tbe line. Our prospects are, that we shall
have an immense yield, should no misfortune befall
the growing crop. In Virginia, Georgia, Alabama,
and Kentucky, the indications are equally favora
ble.—Knoxnlle Whig.
Horrible.— The N. O. Delta gives an account of
a poor man dying in the back room af a building
Oil Dumaine street in that city. The Coroner held
an inquest on the body and a verdict of “death by
consumption” rendered. It further says:
Tne fact of his death was made known to the
Coroner by aoertifieate signed by several neighbors ;
hut a person employed by the Street Commisioner
having gone into tbe room, discovered the raau lying
upon au o.d cot, as it he had been killed, a portion of
his noao being apparently cut off, and a bole in the
socket of oue of the eyes.
Tbe Coroner, upon examination, found that the
man, who lived a very secluded life, had died
everal dayß previously, and that the rats bad been
making sad work with his bouy. The mau trom
whom he rented the room says that he has been
living in the room for over two years, and had not
spoken to auy one except himself, and that probab
ly a dozen nerds were never passed betweeuthem.
He never told his name, and whtn first asked by
the landlord what name the receipt for tbe monthly
rent should be made out to, replied to make it out
black ; aud after that, he came regularly with the
money, paid it without speaking, and taking his re
ceipt, went beck to his room us silent as he left it.
He was called the “Shoemaker” by the people in
the same yard, and before his health became so bad
that be could uol go out, he went away in the morn
ing and came back, as rtgu'.ar as clock-work.
When he tell into the last decline, he kept his room
all the time, except when he crawled down stairs to
purchase milk; hence the fact ot hfs death remaining
unknown, even to the inmates of the house, until
mortification ensued.

B'aten Island, ana queil a riot that had broken out
on the railroad among a gang of Irish laborers.
The strike was for time, the laborers wanting to

The Philadelphia Fugitive Slave Caae.
We have read, with daily increasing interest, the
proceedings in this caae, scanning cloeeiy every step
i of its progress. A faithful synopsis ot the leading
! facts will be found elsewhere, taken trom the cor
respondence of the Baltimore San.
We regret, exceedingly, the result—not. for the
mere tr fie of the value ‘if the slave that has been
discharged, but from the effect it is compelM to
| have upon the public mmi throughout the southern
States already excited to an unsafe degree, and the
handle it will give to an ittempeia’e ciaea of our
people who are ever reedy to seize bold of try

The release of Dante! Daogerfieid is evidently an
ouirage upon law and the comi'y that Bheuid ex
ist between the States oi the Union. To oar mind
the case of the claimant wa3 clearly made oat, and
tbe Commisiioner, whoee coarse throughout the
greater part of tbe trial was characterised by a
seeming determination to disregard tbe clamors cf
the nun and discharge his duty at every hazard,
was finally bullied out of Lis conviction- by the in
solent counsel for the defense if not intimidated
by tbe legion of free negroes, vagabond white men
and crazy women, who bes eged the tribunal “f
justice from the beginning to the e oae of trial. He
is, evidently, too cowardly or too unprincipled for
the responsible port, and we hope the President will
immediately di-tnies him from office. It is due to a
unanimous public sentiment at the south and the
opinion of all conservative and law-abiding citizens
of the north.
We know dotfaing cf the civil relations enjoyed
by the black population under tbe .aw? of Penn
eylvauia, bnt that their testimony should be receiv
ed tn the C. 8 Courts and allowed to set aside tbe
sworn declarations of respectable whi’e men who
testify positively to a fact, and thereby defeat the
rights t f our citizens ss guaranty and by tbe constitu
tion nnd laws of CoLgrtss, ir both a wrong and a
humilation.
Ie there any one who does Dot believe that so de
graded a c’a-a would swear to anything to aecom
p:Vi a purpose ? In the absence of pts'iive testi
mony, their declarations under oath might be re
ceived and ptaced on the footing ot circu i stantial
evidence, to be accepted or r-jected according to
the opin. .n that may be obtained ot their trecioii:-

men, ia as ui just as it ia degrading. They are not
even recognised as citizens by the lawr of the Uni
ted Sates, and yet m Pennsylvania, a'least, an
American treemau does not rise to the dignity of
their peer!
If tins be allowed, there is an end to the execu
tion of the Fugitive Slave law, and it becomes not
only a (lead letter and a force, but an insult to the
eiave-hoid.ng States.

While, though, we would condemn the Courts a3
infamous, and tbe motley crew who surrounded aud
inffuenced it as utterly aeepicable, it is but due to
tbe local authorities ol Philadelphia to say that noth
ing was omitted on their pait, to secure a peace
ful administration of the law. Three hundred
po icemen w- re ordered out for the occasion, and
kept on duty throughout the trial, and upon every
manifestation of a disturbance the guilty parties
were promptly arrested and committed to prison.—

Red Pepper for Punch and Overcoats. —The

hot whiskey punch of a cold night, the following: .
“Put three or four lumps of sugar, with half a
teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, iu a tumbler, and
fill it up with hot water; when tho sugar isdisolved,
drink. It isnotouiy pleasant to the palute, but
warms tbe whole body more effectßally and quicker
than spirits.’’

up from the wreck of H. M. 8. Lutine, which was

1709. After sixty years immersion the gold looks
as fresh aa if it had just been taken out of the bank.
The silver bars, ou the other baud, have become

however, prove any increase of correspondence,
but merely that Postmasters throughout the oonu

“The Only Notional Party.”
The Columbus Times thus re-echoes a :entiment
that has become common to tbe Democratic press
ol the soutc:
’ Tee Democratic- party ,s now the only organ'l
- which enj-ys tbe proud d : stincti"n of being
a national par.y and whose flig bears the embiem
of the Republic in an unbroken galaxy of stars.”
“National party,” indeed. A party, if we under
eiand the sign fi'-atiou ot the term, ia an association
of men, bolting principles in common. To be
“national” the members of the party in every por
tion of tbe country must agree in sentiment, at least
upon prime question- of governmental p licy. We
know our triend of tbe Times wiii net questien
these poshione. We then invite him to take our
arm and fotiow aa through h brief argument to cer
tain conclusions which ttey render inevitable.
Tested by these principles, we maintain that the
Democratic party are not a netional party. The
sole evidence ot their nationality that remain-, ia
that they ate t--nauts in common of the offices of
the country. This, certainly can give them no claim
to such a distinction, for the southern fire-eaters I
and nortcern abolitionists, who agree in nothing I
but hatred ‘o the Unija. might amalgamate and do j
toe same thing,provided their numbers were -utli- ,
cient. Every body would agree that such aa or ;
ganization w. u!d be a corrupt one, destitute of 1
principle and unot serving pit existence.
To our mind tbe present Democratic organization ,
stands on just such a foooing, a. and instead of boast- |
mg of its existence, gentlemen would be much more j
consistent cid tbey go to work and prove that it
oeservts to live.
In order to test this thing fully, let us place the
present Democratic party in national conveution
and put them to wo.k iu building a platform to
embrace the poii’ .cal quest.onsof the day. How
would ‘hey go to work .’

The Slave Trade —How will you put iu a plaak

agitating the public mind, showing that in ..ucost
evety instance there is an entire destitution of the
harmony that ie necessary to constitute an uonest
national organisation.
How, ttj.-n. can you raise a common standard for
the Democrats ot all sections to flock to in the
coming contests ? Will somebody tell us she modus
operandi of the herculean task 7 It cannot be done,
except by putting truth and principle and common
honesty to the blush. A platform meaning every
.hing aud meaning nothing, held np a- this tiring tu
one section and exactly the opposite in euoiher, a
cceat and a Laud to deceive the people, and plun
der them of their votes —this ia the only expedient
that etanua between the Democratic party ~r.d in
evitable, total annihilation.
These differences strike at the very root of the
constitution, aud should be vital. There is no com
promise for them, except io a sacrifice of the coun
try. The appeal we )0 often hear tor a reconcilia
tion of Democratic divisions is a corrupt one, for it
calls upon freemen to surrender their honest opin
ions, aud to trample under foot their convictions of
duty. Tbe man that would respond to such an ap
peal, sells himself and his country for a mere party
triumph, aud ie uuworthy to be trusted. He may
pledge himself in an eLc.ion, but he will prove a
traitor when invested with power.— Savh. Rep,

In scanning the roil of those who still figure in the

The Revolution in Chili.— Shocking Out.
rages. —A correspondent of the Philadelphia Penn
sylvanian, writing from Valparaiso, gives some in
teresting particulars of the progress of the revolu
tionary outbreak in Chili. Ou tne 3d of January a
battle was fought at Conception, resulting in the
success of the government troops, after about 500
had been killed and wounded on both 3ides. Two
other battles subsequently took place, in one o 1
which (at San Ft-lippe) 600 were killed and wound’
ed. Os thiß engagement the writer remark ;
It is said that the officer in command of the gov
ernment troops, in order to excite hia men, stated
to them that if victorious they would be granted
three hours toplauder and do jus; as they pl?->,sed
with persons and things within their ri'-eh. As
soon as the enemy was driven from tbe city the
work of plunder and outrage commenced. All the
business housss, stores and private residences were
forcibly entered and robbed. Not only were the
dwelliugsof respectable citizens robbed and dam
aged, but the female inmates were insulted, and, in
some iLstances, wi re brutally outraged. The nun
nery doors were forced open, ami deeffr of tue
most revolting and disgraceful character perpetra
ted.
At Cal ero a thirty-two pound shot, fired from a
government war steamer, passed through the house
of the United States vice-consul, greatly damaging
the house and furniture.
Death erom Want of Sleep.— The question
how long a person can live without sleep hae often
been ask and, but never b-sere ascertained that we
know of. A recently made communication to a
British society, whose field of operations is in Asia,
would seem to solve the problem. A Uhinese mer
chaut convicted of murdering his wife, was sen
tencod to die by being deprived of steep. The sen
tence was executed upon him in Amoy. We quote
from the account a luded to:
The condemned was placed In prison under the
care of three of the police guard, who relieved each
other every aiteThate hour, and who prevented the
prisouer trom falling asleep night or day. He thus
lived for nineteen days without’ cjoying any sleep.
At tbe commencement of the eighth day his suffer
ings were so intense that he implored the autberi
tits to grant aim the blessed opportunity of being
strangulated, garr ted, guli- tinea, burned to death,
drowned, shot, quartered, blown up with gunpow
der, or pat to death in any conceivable wav which
their humanity or ferocuy could invent. This will
give a slight idea of the horrors of death from want
of sleep.
Sugar CRor cf Louisiana.— Mr. Champoneirß’
report of tbe Sugar Crop of Louisiana, ior the pres
ent year, ehowa the entire pioduct to be 375,000

as follows:

The Skunk Skin Traffic —The odor of the
ekunk possesses a distinctive property which can
not be mistaken by any whose sense of smell ia at
ail discriminative. During the past few months,
those who have perambulated our down town busi
ness streets, have repeatedly had their olfactories
greeted by this unmistakable perfume, and wonder
ing whence it originated, have at last traced it to
tbe warehouses of our furriers. A few inquiries
might have explained the cause of this new acces
sion to the two and seventy stenches of the metro
polis.
The traffic in skunk skins has suddenly become a
mo.-t important branch of the fur trade, and tbe
skins of an animal which three years ago were
deemed of no value whatever, are now in the great
est demand. They are collected for e-por-at on
alone. The principal markets are Russia aud Tur
key, though s jme are sent to Germany, whei e they
are sold at large prefit. as the fur of the genuine
“fisher.” The bt&ck skins are valued the most, and
oaring the past winter the market price hss been as
higa as $1 per skin, wuile mottled skins brought only
7U cts. Thus prices, however, have recently depre
elated considerably. on account of immense exporta
tion.
Upwards of 60,000 of these ijtlns have been ship

on Tuesday. In the morning the Moniteur’s an
muncement of a Congrtsj earned conso's io ad
vance j, but substquentiy lower prices came from
Paris, and a vague rumor circulated that Acs

which caused a tali in the foreign exchanges and a
reaction on the stock exchange, consols dosing a

The Times’ City Article says the funds opened
steadiy on Tuisday at improved quotations, but
speculative sal-s on foreign account caused a re
action, the Market closing heavy. A slight in

This article caused a further rise ou the Bou-se of

The Proposed Congress. —A dispatch from
Vienna statts that Austria, on the 23d, agreed to
the proposed Congress, and it would probably meet

five Great Powers, strongly insisting on being
allowed to take part in the deliberations on tbe
affairs of Italy; aud a Paris cortespondent of the
London Post says that in consequence of the repre
sentations matte by Ccuut Cavour, the French
Government consents that Piedmont and other
Italian States shall be represented at the Confe
rence.
It is stated that Austria consented to a Congress
under certain conditions, but that they are not of
much importance. It ia supposed that she would, as
a matter of course, insist ou a strict maintenance of
the Treaties of 1815, but that she will hardly object
to a revision of her special Treaties with the Italian
States.
The French journals assume that Lord Cowley’s
mission to Vienna has bad nothing to do with the
Congress, and they credit Russia with the proposi

The London Star believes that Lord Malmes

Prince Napoleon had personally insisted upon
the admission of Piedmont into the Congress, and

his admission into the Congress, but in that event
admission oould not be refused to Tuscany, the
Papal Government, ana the Duchy of Paima.

The debite on the Reform Bill was resumed.
Mr. Cardweli and Lord Palmerston spoke in fa

entirely repudiated all factious motives, aud de
clared Lord John Russell’s resolutions must not be

Sir S. Northcots and Mr Whiteside defended the
Government, when the debate was further adjourn
ed
The general impression was, that the Ministers
were sure of defeat in a division on Lord John Rus

were ‘various speculations aa to the course they
would adopt.
The Times thinks the defeat will be so decided
as to leave no excuse for the dissolution of Parlia

Lord John Russell to have hia oeasure ready.

Prince Napoleon, he has very recently written to

expressed the same wish. The opinion r f the Pre
sided was that Spain did not administer Cuba weli,
and that the United States, on account of their
higher intelligence, ana a moral duty to fu ! fil,
which was to purchase the.lsland. The Govern
ment could not allow this idea about Cuba to re

and the present t abinet had been constantly oc
cupied with measures calculated to give the in
habitants of the Island the share they ought to
possess in their internal administration, without
compromising the ties which units them to the mo

It had not, however, rendered insult for insult, as
that would probably have aggravated the question.
It had conducted itself with piudence and digmly,
and had not applied fir assistance to any other
power. If any other foreign power had offered as
sistance the Government would have felt grateful,
but it would have accepted ot it because it did not
think any aid was necessary As no diplomatic

employed in strengthening the levee. The river is
nine inches higher than it was last year at Vicks

New-Orleans. Sunday, April 3. —The river yes
terday was in commotion ; it was rising slowly,
and a brisk southeast wind was, besides, stirring
its waters considerably. Nearly one-tbird part of
the lower landing whs under water, and Young
America was sailing its miniature water crafls over
places that, had • een for the last four months the
abiding place cf King Cotton.
The Mississippi.— At Vicksburg, on Friday, the
river was still. ising at the rate of one ineb in 24
hours, which at the present high stage of water is
unu-ual The True Soui hron of that date says:
We have to report a break which occurred yes
terday at Diamond Island Lsvee, between here
and New Car.hage, on the plantation of Joseph
Castleman, Esq , from which we apprehend very
serious damage to the plantations below, esp daily
when we consider the probability of the waters
from the White crevasse, opposite this city,
tniDgiing with these ot Diamond Island Levee, and
pouring the confluent floods over the country.
Warrenton, too, we learn, is suffering dreadfully,
and so, we bear, are many of the contiguous plan
tations. Everything portends the most tearful de
struction, aud our accounts are all unfavorable.
The Memphis Bulletin of Wednesday says : The
river since our last report, haa remained stationary,
and at five o’clock last night was at precisely the
same mark as on the preceding evening—6£ inches
below the flood line of last year Business on the
levee was tolerably brisk during the day. Weather
clear and cooler than usual at this season.
In addition to the breaks already reported by
telegraph at Diamond Is'and aud other places be
tween that and New Orleaus, we learn from Mr.
Booker, of the Bellast, that one bss occurred oppo

Ark Bask Notks Capital ! —Capita! is said by
writers on political soonemy to be “the products of
industry possessed by the community, and stiff
available for use only, or for further production.”
In another “accumulated and productive wealth,
whether in the form of money, buildings, machinery,
improvements on hand, or merchandise.’’
Others have gone farther, and undertake to say
that Bank No es are capital. And why ? because
they will enable the holder to purchase houses, &.c.,
But then it must not be forgott p that the houses,
lauds, &c., existed before, and that the bank notes
merety are the means of conveyance of such prop
erty .lorn one owner to another. There is no bona
fide increase of wealth by the issue of bank paper—
it is not the representative of capital or property in
any shape, but the representative of credit.
This position is clearly laid down in Mr. Thompson
Hankev’s pamphlet, issued a few weeks since iu
England, entitled “Banking; its Utility and Econ
omy; A Lecture by i'homas Uankey, M. P., late-
Governor of the Bank of England.
Bank Notes, says Mr. H., “do not augment that
capital which be already possesses, although all of
them may be modes by which he may be enableu
to make a very profitable use ot it. and consequent
ly, if he is a provident man, may -cable him to be
come a richer one. Tbe bill of exchange which the
banker has obtained by discounting, is not capital;
it is merely a bit of paper promising to pay an
acknowledged debt at some future period. The
loan of bank notes he may make, is no‘ capital: it
is merely a promise to pay. The goods he may
buy, or enable someone else to buy, are not neces
sarily more valuable oy the of purchase,
aud therefore, with respect to tffim , there is no in
crease of capital”
Mr MoCulloch aiao maintains the same position
when be says ?— “Though banks afford a valuable
assistance m the collection and distribution of capi
tal, it must not be supposed, as is often doue, that
they have any direct influence in its formation. *
Credit is impotent to produce anything whatever
To call it capital is as much an abuse of language
as io call weight color, or color weight.”
Bat the idea prevails in some quarters in this
country that the creation of Banks is the creation of
capital, &Dd the result has been thus far an over
strained effort to create such institutions as if, at
their word, the capital of the State would be in
creased in volume. The reverse is often, practical
ly, the effect. The creation of eucb fictitious capi
tal, in the shape of bank notes and bank credits,
has led thousands to buy and speculate, trusting
that the apparent volume wss a reality. Let us
maintain correct ideas on this subject and place
capital iu its true position—“the products of indus
try available for use only or for further production.”

Curious Freaks or Liohtning.— Providential
Escapes. —There was a storm of wind and lightning
in Warren, Pa , last Thursday, during which the
Morrison House was struck. The Mail says:
It appears that the family, with such boarders
as bad not eaten at the first table, were about sit
ting down to supper, some eight or ten in all. Some
of them were already sealed. Mr. A Morrison was
standing some four or five feet from the s’ove.—
Mrs Morrison was Btandmg quite near it, when the
crash came, which Mr. Morrison likens to the explo
sion of a steamboat boiler. The lights were all ex
tinguished, the stove seemed to fly into a thousand
pieces, the dishes and glass rattled, the women and
children ecreamed, and the confusion was terrible.
Mr. Henry Morrison, who was outdoors in the
back yard, was knocked down, but he soon gath
ered up and ran in with a pail of water. Mr. Abi
jah Morrison was whirled around, but not prostra
ted. He too ran for water and lights. I hey found
Mrs. Morrison proetrated, apparently lifeless. Sne
was badly injured by the fluid on her arm and
limbs. A pair of lady’a morocco shoes wbich she
wore, were literally torn to pieces—the soles and
the uppera towards the toes, are all that is left in the
shape cf shoes. A woolen stocking was also com
pletely riddled, and a ring on her finger was unsod
dered. We cannot seeiow a person could live
under such a stroke.
A Miss Pier, niece of Abraham Pier, of Busfl,
was also prostrated and badly burned ou the arms.
She seemed to be injured the most of all at the time.
Abijah Morrison, jr., a lad some eight or ten years
old, was badly burned on the arms and lege. His
shirt was scorched down the side. He was sitting
at the farther side of the taole from the stove, and
lay there some minutes, being overlooked in the
confusion of attending to older ones. Sarah Binds,
a girl who was standing by the table with a teapot
in her hand, was burnt on the arm, but Dot much
hurt. Another girl, Sarah Yanoedale, was deafened
for several hours. M;s Bow, a boarder, daughter
cf B. P Beil, was so badly shocked that she couid
not walk, and her little boy was knocked down.—
Mr. Morrison’s daughter Mary was also knocked
down, while a younger daughter and others in the
same room were not njured. Others in the vicini

GREENSBORO’ MILLS.
CST"Editor Chronicle & Sentinel:—We bail
among the first Merchant FLOURING MILLS in our
great State, in Augusta. At that time we had to bring
moht cf the Flour for consumption from the North. Now
many such Mills are gotten up, and the consequence is,
it has encouraged Wheat growers, and we now sapp-y,
not only our own demand for Flour, but ship large quan
tities, both of Wheat and Flour, to the North. All our
surplus Wheat should be ground at hume, and Flour
only shipped off. The farther you go South, the better
the Flour made from wheat, where it will grow. So
our F our has not or ly a superiority in Northern mar
kets, but will, in time, be the Flour to ship to all warm
climates, like Rio, Ac., Ac.
We sold our Mills in Augusta, not because not profits,
ble, but because we saw Merchant Flour Mills could be
gotten up at much less cost than those, to do the same
work. We have now in Clark’s Pats nt Mills, the best
and most perfect Mill in the Union, to convert our Corn
into Meal, or our Wheat Into the beat of Flour.
.The cost of Flour Mills $850; Coro Mills 8375, in
cluding the right to use t .ea A 5 to 6 horsepower
will drive either Mill, and they can be put on small
streams, that conld no;. drive the old fashioned Mil e.
We have a complete sett, for Corn and Wheat, in
operation, in the GREENSBORO’ MILLS , and a i
persons desirous of going into the Milling business, are
now invited to come and i-ee for themsel.es, the mosi
comp'ete Corn and Flour Milb, at a co@t of about cne
doUar for t*n of the old plan.
