more frequent; and at last we came to what I had so often heard talked of, and what proved to me completely that I was now in a tropical climate, I mean a regular plantation of the sugar-cane. . . . . [On the 27th], at nine o'clock, I gladly entered the busy little city of Malaga. . . . The inhabitants—I mean those I knew in a visit of only three days—I found hospitable as the spirit of commerce always makes a people, and frank, open, and giddy, as everybody knows the Andalusians are. Count Cabarrus and his family, and the house of Mr. Rouse would have done anything for me, and, in fact, did much; but Count Teba and the Bishop, who interested me and amused me much more, made it quite unnecessary. I knew Mad. de Teba in Madrid, when she was there on a visit last summer; and from what I saw of her then, and here where I saw her every day, I do not doubt she is the most cultivated and the most interesting woman in Spain. Young and beautiful, educated strictly and faithfully by her

The true spirit. We cheerfully comply with the request of "A Subscriber," and publish the substance of a speech delivered by Rufus Barringer, Esq., in Concord, N. C., on the 20th ult; Mr. Barringer after reciting the condition of affairs at Washington, in Virginia and Maryland, and in the middle and eastern parts of the State, went on to say that he hoped the people of Cabarrus, intelligent, prompt and public-spirited, would do their whole duty in the present crisis. All who were able to fight should be prepared to do so. All who were blessed with abundance, should be ready and willing to aid the State in supporting her forces. We at last see the whole North united against us. This had been predicted years ago. It was now painfully true. Those not already and long since abolitionized, were at once crushed under the iron heel of Black Republican rule. Talk of the free North ! free-soil, a free press and free speech ! A friend from New York has just described to Mr. B., a

The Daily Dispatch: May 21, 1863., [Electronic resource], Crops in the South. (search)
Crops in the South. Our exchanges from different sections of the South bring us the most cheering accounts as to the prospects of the approaching harvest. The Raleigh Standard has the following from a correspondent: Cabarrus has responded nobly to the patriotic appeals of Gov. Vance and President Davis for provisions for our gallant solders.--A large amount of corn and bacon has recently been shipped from this place, and they are still coming in. Our wheat crop is very promising indeed. We are planting no cotton. I fear, however, if more men are taken from the county, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to gather our crops. A Rome (Ga.) paper says: The wheat crop in this section is exceedingly fine, and is as promising as one could wish. Not a single stalk of it is as yet affected by the rust. The oat crop looks finely. The stand of corn is good, and a large area of ground is planted with it. A letter from Clinton, Greene county, Ala., says:"W
