Our young friend and occasional contributor, T. W. Bullock Esq., has returned after ruralizing nearly two weeks out in Marshall, Bedford, and Lincoln counties, looking about as usual. He reports all right in these counties. Everybody is at work, wing wheat, picking cotton, and gathering in the crops. He reports all young folks gay and lively and marrying. He was perfectly delighted with the concert given by young ladies at Fayetteville for the purpose of repairing their churches.
