Two En gines and Hose-Carriage nicely wreathed with flowers, drawn by pawing sfeeds with main erect, were paraded through the streets, together with the Firemen in uniform and a number of citizens of this and adjoining counties. f ' The procession marched to' the Military Institute grounds, where addresses were made by CoL II.

Atlanta has five different lints of Kail roads centering in her corporate limits-t-the country immediately surrounding ls"a poor one j : Charlotte, N. C, will soon have six different Bail- roads terminating within her borders, while! tlf surrounding country for 100 miles in every direc tion is the best in the world, and the inhabitants in dustrious, intelligent, refined and prosperous, j The fact to which we desire to direct .attention is. that no City or county in the United States offers superior advantages to Charlotte ant Mecklenburg. People who do not want to live in a prosperous land need not come to Charlotte.

But it is never too late t do i . i 1 good ; and en that idea the good men of South Caro lina show the right spirit and seem disposed to make an effort to unite the honest people of the State of all parties and colors against extravagance and corrup tion. ' The same policy would have been adopted in North Carolina as soon as the war closed had it 'not been for the schemes of eolfish, 'vindictive and 'de signing politicians, who expected to thrive by keep ing alive old sectional and party feeling. . j The following dispatch shows how the people of South Carolina expect to overcome difficulties -v--1 Ckablestow.

'- The Whipping Post. : n the crowth of what is called refinement and in- telligeucc a great many ot the old-fashioned pains and peuuliies of misdoing haye been wept away as "barbarous." In English history and literature the whipping poet and the pillory figure very conspicu ously, and because of that figure the world seems to have coincided in the judgment that has consigned them to its lumber liiubo. Ju some of our States, however, these ancient instruments linger, are con stantly used, and arc believed in as effective re straint; against crime. We reported yesterday six cases of Shipping for minor ottences in the State of Delaware. If we judge by the example that .State presents we may well consider whether or no there is not good reason to revise the decree so generally given against the whipping post and the pillory. Was it cot the abuse of these instruments that caused the world generally to givelj them up : Aud if we are to give cp all punishments subject. to abuse which shall we at last retain? Nobody likes to think of Daniel Defoe iu the pillory : but unjust laws and uujust judges would make equally infamous use of any conceivable penalty, jj We believe that the abandonment of these puuishments was merely au early effect one of the rst-j-of that philanthropic sentimentality toward criminals which now demands the abolition wf capital punishment, and which, as a next step, will demand that all prisons be torn down or turned iulo free lunch houses, aud will, perhaps, never stop till it establishes the full immunity, if not the meritorious character, of, every ofTeuce against the peace of society. Some pitiful scoundrel com mits a small aud shameful otfeuce. Why should society (hereupon assume the: charge of his support an 1 visit upon him no evil but the loss of a liberty for which he cares nothing? ls'it not more rational to give Lini a hearty physical,discipline on the tpotl Tiiere is lound m Delaware one niost-eloqnetii laci in support of this view. Tlie . whipping plan ac tually pievt nts crimes of the sort that are punished at the w'liipping post. So much can scarcely be said for anyjothcr punishment. j'Eevolvers" and re peatersj who keep the prisons full in all other places are not known there. lt'is but very seldom they bate to whip the same rascals twice. -V. 1".

I dislike to force my name before the public, bat It ' seems to be the only way that I can answer a falsa ' report. I have been informed by some of our clti-. kens of the highest respectability, and who I have every reason to believe are my friends, that it was reported on the streets that Mr Moody lost thirty-five . hundred- dollars by the late firm of iioyd & Moody. feel it to be my duty to say that the report is fah and slanderous, come from whom it may, and but for ita frequent repetition, and being satisfied that it was one to-injure my reputation as a business man, I woula treat the report with silent Contempt. If here had not been any assets the loss could aot have exceeded the amount stated, and should the claims all be collected with other asuett that were on hand Mr Moody's estate will not lose a single dollar. Circumstances with which I bad nothing to do, com bined with tBe efforts to break me down succeeded, but 1 hope the strong effort to keep u down may fail. lam aware that it has been said here thai honest men never fail, and that a man is aU right now if he has . money, bo matter how he get it. X for one am not prepared to charge people with such degredation. . There may have been failures in which Urge amounts have beeu laid away for private use, but I scorn and challenge anything of the kind in my case. I will not mention names in this Card as there are other matters behind the skreen that may com out at a proper time. ' ' W. BOYD. Money, Wanted.
