i THE W TE UN -DEM OORjLT, CHARLOTTE, N . C. tsUtn moctat. rW. J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, IV. C. January 15, 18G7. . ' r The Impeachment Movement. It will be . seen by a synopsis of the proceedings of Con- gross, that Mr Ashley, of Ohio, bag Introduced into the House resolutions authorizing the Judi . ciary Committee to inquire if there is not good cause for impeaching President Johnson. Mr Ashlty makes the following charges against the President : "I "charge him with the usurpation of power in ! viuiuiiuu ui iavr, in mat oe iias corruptly used toe appointing power ; in that he has corruptly used the veto power ; in that he has corruptly disposed of the public property of the United States ; in that he has corruptly interfered in elections ; and committed, acta, and conspired with others to commit acts, which, in contemplation of the Con stitution, are high crimes and misdemeanors." Some of the friends of the President say the matter was referred to the Judiciary Committee for the purpose of getting clear of it, while oth ers declare that the investigation will be proceed ed with immediately. We have do idea that the charges cau be fairly maintained, bat as the ma jority that control Congress aeemt to be ready to do almost anything, there is no predicting what may be the result. Such proceedings are calculated to do much harm at home and abroad. They keep the pub lic mind iu a state of excitement, uncertainty and apprehension. When the news reached Eu gland the London papers declared that it foreshadowed another revolution in this cuuntty. At the Democratic State Convention of Con necticut, held at New Haven last week, several promiuent gentlemen made speeches, among them the Hon. James Brooks of New York, who de clared that " If Congress attempts to impeach the Presi dent, and he calls for aid to sustain the Govern ment, not one or ten thousand railroad trains will be enough to transport the Democracy to Washington. If such a course were persisted in civil war would not be confined to the other (South) sidn of the Potomac, but desolation and ruin would be brought to our own (Nurtlurn) ; homes. We still .hope that better counsels may prevail at Washington, and that a better feeling and per manent peace may speedily ensue. mm i i Tub Irish Potato. We direct tho attention of our readers to an article in another column on the origin and culture of the Irish Potato. It is from the pen of Dr. C. L. Hunter of Lincoln county, one of the most learned and scientific men in the country. 0 . First National Bank or Charlotte. This Hank has declared a dividend of ten p;r cent, from its earnings for the past six months, and carried five per c-ut to the reserve fund. See advertisement and list of officers and Stockholders in another column. 3 For the purpose of informing the public as to the management aud affair of this institution, we make the following extracts from the Report of the Board of Di rectors showing its operations from the date of organiza tion, Sept. Gth, 1865, to Jan. 1st, I8G7 : "Opening on the Gth day of Sept.. 18(15, with a capi tal Stock of $50,((0. a tihort time showed that the amount was not sufficient to meet the requirements of thr business portion of the. community. Books were therefore opened, aud on Dec. 1st, 1805, the .ubscrip tions amounted to $72,000 making the capital $122, OoO. On the 31st Dec, 18Cfi, after a careful examination of all the assets of the Bank, the Board declared a divi dend (for six months) of 10 per cent., free of taxes, and carried $6.6J8 43 to the Ueserve Fund making that fund at the present day $13,506 85. While thus showing a profitable investment to the stockholder, we cannot help thinking- that the Bank has been of great service to the City and its business men. To show the large amount of business that has passed through our hands, we take the following figures irom the ledger: Cash account, from Sept. 6. 1805, to Dec. SJ9, 18(16, a period of 16 mouths, foots up $7,530. 600; on deposit during same time, $356,000 specie, and $3,'264.4lK) currency : and have furnished to our customers and others Kxchange on New York and minor points $1.500.000 the saving on the transporta tion of which sura has been over $3,500 to our deposi tors. The Books, which have been carefully examined by tl:e Board, show a good, well-established business, with assets that are reliable in every wa-; aud we hope that th; business of the Bank in the future (as the past certainly does) will justify us in saying that you have a Stock that will pay good dividends aud constantly increase in value." Shade ani Fruit Trees. It is now about the right time to plant out trees, aud we hope our citizc us will give the matter more attention than they have heretofore done. Shade trees on our streets will not only be an ornament, but will be found useful and valuable. Many houses have been saved and protected from destruction by fire by shade trees. Every one who bus tried it knows that fruit trees will handsomely repay those who plant and nurse them. Those who own business houses should plant shade trees in front of them, and tenants ought to request their landlords to do so. Aud certainly those who own dwellings will not neglect to plant a few choice fruit trees, and produce fruit for family use. Small Pox. We are surprised to learn that some alarm is felt in the country about the Small Vox in Charlotte. Some six or eight cases have occurred in the city among the freed men, (four or fire being in one family,) but there is no danger of its spreading, as the city authorities have adopted stringent measures to prevent it, and they now remove all cases be yond the corporate limits No white person has had the disease, and there is no apprehension felt in the community about it. There is not the slightest danger in visiting the city. .IST The Mecklenburg Agricultural Society will bold a meeting in the Court Ilouje on Tuesday, the 15th instant. It is slated that the jail at Kingstree, S. C, .was destroyed by re last week, and twenty-two of the Inmates perished in the flames. m NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Jan. 8. In view of the recent Legislative action repealing the 13th section, the Attorney General will not, for the present, enter tain applications for pardon of persons engaged in the rebellion." The President has permitted what is called the radical party to get the advantage of him in this matter. Why has he not issued a general am nesty proclamation, and declared that by-gones shall bo by-gone ? Why has he not released Mr Davis from cruel confinement or had him tried on whatever charges may be preferred against him ? Why is it that Gov. Vance and other citi zens of the South have not been pardoned when they have made application? The President has had the power to grant these pardons heretofore without coming in conflict with Congress ; but now, if he grants pardons, ho will be accused of violating a law of Congress and an excuse afford ed for his impeachment. We do not believe that many of our leading Southern men have pursued a prudent or wise policy since the close of the war ; but we have always favored a-general amnesty, and let by gones be by-gone. Though we may differ with those who control the Southern State Govern ments about the proper course to pursue, we have done all we could to promote peace and harmony. A late dispatch from Washington gives this information : 'The psrdon question shapes itself as follows: Under section 13, the President pardoned in all cases on the recommendation of the Provisional Governors and other reliable parties, and the endorsement of the Attorney General, except in rare instances where policy suggested delay. The repeal of that section confines the President to his constitutional powers, and he will here after pardon only on his own personal investiga tion. Some delay may be expected from the change of forms and routine." Stat Laws. Tbe Courts ofVirgiuia, South Carolina. Georgia and Mississippi have declared that Stay Laws are uneonstitutional. It is thought that the Supreme Court of North Car olina will give a similar decision when the ques tion comes before it. Creditors and debtors ought to try and make some mutual arrangement so as to avoid litiga tion and distress. Let debtors at once go to their creditors and muke a fair exhibit of their financial coudition, and say what they can do, aud we think many suits wiil be prevented and confidence restored. The stay laws that were passed at the com mencement of the war (against which we earn estly protested at the time) have been the cause of ruiu to many. Had it not been for the miser able stay law passed by our Legislature in the early part of the war, the majority of our citizens who were in debt would have paid out with Con federate or other money; but the stay law de ceived and caused them to postpone payment; and the results are now appurent in the disposi tion to force settlements. We can give no better advice than to say to those who are in debt, go to your creditors and make an honest statement, comply with fair terms, and get indulgence. m President Johnson having vetoed the bill passed by Congress permitting negroes to voto iu the District of Columbia, that body has passed it over the veto. The President argues that it is unconstitution al to force negro suffrage onihe people of the District, and unfair after the white citizens, by A nearly unanimous vote, decided against it." Delegation from North Carolina. A delegation from North Carolina, sppointed by the Governor in obedience to a joint resolution of the General Assembly, consisting of Hon. Bedford Brown, formerly United States Senator; Gen. Leach and John A. Gilmer, formerly mem bers of congress; Judge Merrimon and P. II. Winston, have taken rooms at Willard's Hotel. Mr. Brown and Gen. Leach are already here, and the remainder of the delegation will arrive today. The primary object of their misfcion is to in vestigate the irregular and offensive collection of the United States tax for 1361. They have however, confided to their care the general in terest of the State. Liberal provision has been made for its irregular representatives by North Carolina, aud the delegation will remain as long as the interest of the State demands. Colonel Brown, who is the leader of the dele gation, was United States Senator from 1829 to 1840. Of his fellow Scuators of 1829 only hitn ielf and Judge Spraguc, now of Massachusetts, but then Senator from Maine, are alive. Wash ington Intelligencer. The Intelligencer is mistaken in saying that the Legislature of North Carolina authorized the appointment of the above named gentlemen as Commissioners. We judge so from the fact that we find nothing about it in the captions of Acts and Resolutions passed. We presume that when the Legislature re-assembles an appropriation of money will be asked for to pay their expenses. If any good could be accomplished, we would not object to the sending of Commissioners to Washington, but the only result will be the bleeding" of the State Treasury to the amount of a few thousand dollars. As to investigating the land tax matter, they can do nothing. The collection of that tax has already been suspended by the Government for the present. And would it not have been better, if found necessary to send Commissioners, for the Legis lature to have selected them ? We respectfully submit that such old political tricksters aud office seekers as Gen. Jsmes M. Leach are not the sort of men to manage State affairs iu a crisis like the present. We are anxious to see peace and good feeling prevail, and for a speedy settlement of national troubles, but such men as Gen. Leaoh, we fear, will get us into further difficulty. We have nothing to say against Judge Merri mon as an upright man, but we think he ought to stay in the State and attend to his duties as a law officer. Our Judges should not be mixed up with political matters, and neither should they be permitted to act in any other office of trust or profit while holding the position of a Judge. Mr Gilmer and Mr Brown are excellent selec tions. . t- The Elon. A. P. Hayne, of 3ooth Car olina, died io Charleston on the 8th inst. He had served as a Senator from thai State iu the Federal Congress; and had filled -many other positions of honor, in bich he always acquitted himself with credit to himself andLthe .State. He belonged to that class of old school gentle jQjep which is now so rapidly disappearing. HOCK ISLAND WOOLEN MILLS We .paid a Twit 6 this establishment a few days sinerahd found it to be what the Company claim for It, one of the best Wool Factories in the Sooth, if not in the United States. We foand it perfect in all its parts, and the several apart ments so admirably arranged! that the whole works like the machinery of a clock. The goods produced in this establishment are of a very superior order, so. much so that the Northern Commission Merchants say they are too honestly made to come in competition with the New England fabrics, or a large proportion of imported goods. The Company will be compelled to look to the South for a support, and culpably guilty wiil our people be if such enterprises are not fostered and encouraged. We have examined the goods and can truly say, that they are the best we ever saw made, and our people ought to wear them; and we respectfully insist on South ern Merchants placing the productions of this Factory upon their counters, and givng the con sumers an opportunity of testing. their qualities. This is a!I the Company ask; and they feel satis fied that when the durability of these goods is tried, that the enterprise is beyond a failure. We will endeavor to give a description of this mammoth establishment, but feel that we shall fall far short of conveying a correct idea of its proportions. It must be seen to be appreciated. The Factory is situated immediately on the North Carolina Railroad and almost in the heart of our thriving little city. It is four stories high,: each of which is filled to its utmost capacity with machinery. The ground floor of the building is 84x100 feet; divided into three apartments. The first, 50x100 feet, is allotted exclusively to the finishing of the goods. We there saw machinery at work that requires a good mechanic to appre ciate. The second apartment of the ground floor, 20x100 feet, is used for drying purposes, which is done entirely by steam. The third is for dye ing. '.Here we found large vats for this purpose, so arranged that water can be heated to any temperature, and regulated with as much 'pre cision as it is possible for anything of the kind to be done The manner iu which the heating is done we will speak of more particularly hereafter. The second Boor is .divided into two apartments. The first, 50x100 feet, is filled -with looms for weaviug; and here, for the first time, we witnessed the manufacture of fancy goods, but to describe the manner we will not even attempt, for it is be yond our comprehension those large and mag nificent looms working like creatures of intelli gence, throwing up first one color, then another, and with such mathematical precision that it is almost impossible to make a mistake. The se cond apartment of this story is used for warping, beaming and sizing the warps; all of which is done by machinery of the latest and most im proved patterns. - ' The third floor is a counterpart of the second, divided into two apartments, but used for very different purposes. The first, 50x100 feet, con tains 6ix setts of cards, three in a sett, making eighteen cards, and two wool pickers. We have often in childhood sat in wonder at the use of the old hand card and thought it was the height of perfection; but who can visit this room and see these cards at work but will forever lose sight of the old hand cards and wonder that they ever were used. We witnessed the entire operation of carding from the feeding of the wool on the first breaker, until it passed through the second breaker and finisher; it is then spread upon an apron that works upon the principle of a:i endless chain, passing through rollers cleansing it of burrs and other impurities, thence on and through the cards, until it in combed off and passes on to a roll, from which it is conveyed to the "second breaker," and is taken from it in a similar man ner; from thence it passes to the third card or finisher, from which it is taken off on a spool and is ready for spinning. All yf this operation we witnessed with much pleasure. The second apart ment on this floor is divided off into bins for the reception of the wool as it comes from the pickers. We could have spent hours in this apartment where we only spent minutes, and left it with re luctance, but soon found ourselves amply repaid by ascending to - The fourth stery, 50x100 feet, where we in spected the spinning operation. When we heard the humming noise our thoughts ran back to childhood, but when we viewed the workings of the spinning machinery technically called by manufacturers, "Mules" and "Jacks," (of which there were seven in number.) our mind naturally turned in wonder at the inventions of man. These seven "Mules" and "Jacks" have about two thousand two huudred spindles, aud we were informed that they could perform what would be equivalent to the labor of at least four thousand females, and do it a great deal better. Here we could have stood - for hours, but our guide beck oned us to return aud examine the motive power which moves this vast quantity of machinery. To do this, we had to descend to the ground floor and were taken into the engine and boiler rooms. The Engine works as beautifully as any we ever saw, and -looks almost as bright as when it was pionounoed "complete" by the maker, The boiler is certainly a curiosity, it being composed of a succession of cast iron globes, each of which holds about one gallon of water, and each globe is wrapt in fiery flames, thus giving more heat and generating steam faster than the old style boiler. This boiler, of one hundred horse capac ity, furnishes the steam for the Engine, for the dye vats, for the dry room and for heating the entire - building. . No fire is allowed inside, and the heating arrangement is certainly very perfect. There is also a pump constantly at work while the Engine is in motion, which throws water into all the rooms of the Factory, thus supplying the operatives with water to drink and also a safer guard in case of accident by fire. We have never spent an hour more profitably than we did in looking through this magnificent establishment. The establishment works about ninety hands, and gives support to not less than two hundred and fifty persons, all of whom are dependent upon the success of the Company for subsistence. It is managed by Gen. John A. Young as President, and James Earnshaw, Superintendent. Gen. Young has been closely identified with the manu facture of woolen goods for the last eighteen years; indeed he is one of the original founders of Rock Island," and we may say the father of the enterprise. As for Mr Earushaw, his labors speak for themselves. Who can look at those beautiful Cassimeres and not see that a master mind has been employed there ? The present proprietors of the Factory v are J- A. Young, M. L. Wriston, John Wilkes and James Earn shaw. The two former have been connected with Rock Island Factory for 12 or 13 years. In concluding this article we mast org upon the people of the South the great necessity of support ing enterprises of this kind. There are numbers of them. We most encourage our capitalists to invest their surplus means in manufacturing, and let as learn a lesson from the Yankees. Look at their manufacturing towns and villages, the capital In vested, and the profits they are realising off oar people. Why not keep it at. home?t Look to It, that oar only salvation is in oar sustaining each other and keeping oar capital at home.' .

Now that labor is scarcer and more uncertain than formerly, our farmers will find it more remunerative to cultivate a smaller area and use fertilizers more liberally.

We intend to publish some interesting articles in regard to the use of Guano. A Small Matter. The Washington Chron icle (radical) complains that men wearing grey clothes, the color of rebel uniforms, are allowed to walk the streets of Washington unmolested. The Chronicle remarks : ""- "' "Some of these gentry have not even discarded the rebel buttons, but appear in suits which, while the war was in progress, would speedily have drawn forth a Union bullet."" People who visit Washington must be careful not to wear grey clothes, or they .will offend the editor of the Chronicle. ! ' ' i BP The President recently communicated to Congress a list of prominent Confederates whom he had pardoned.

Mtodi8t Episcopal Church : The Proposed Changes in the Discipline. the footing up of the voto shows : For change of name, 1,049; agaiost change of name, 418; for lay delegation, 1,061; against it 400. Lay delegation lacks 33 J votes to make it a law, and there are 501 votes to be overcome to effect a change in tbe name of the church. The Baltimore Conference, is the only one now to vote, and it is not probable that the re sult will be materially altered by the vote of that Conference. Both measures therefore may be considered as lost i?icA. Christian Advo cate. We do not believe the changes are lost. We think the General Conference meant three fourths of the ConJfrencest and not three-fourths of the members thereof. JB?An impression seems to have got into the minds of the negroes hereabouts that tbe United States Government has begun tbe distribution of tbe lands and other property of "rebels" in tbe States south and southwest of us, and many seem indifferent to entering into engagements for service this year, anticipating that the "dis tribution of tbe spoils" will begin ere long here abouts. We suggest that it is the duty of all -persons of intelligence to set any who may have received these impressions, who may come in their way, right. If any of our freed men want land given to them without paying for it they can get it in Florida, Alabama and other States in which the Government owns, by becoming actual settlers upon the land. Tbe land is yet uncleared and unbroken, and the settler will need stock, tools and food, (or money to procure these necessary articles,) before he can think of pre-empting it, and the only , way to get it wifl be by hard work and honest means.
