Charles F. Harris was, forty-two years of
age. we tains oe was a native or uaoar-
rus county. We ; know nothing of bis life
anterior to his going into the profession Of
journalism some ) three yeare ago. He
founded the Concord Sun, a weekly news
paper, which soon acquired A reputation
for good humor in its local department. Its
editor was often alluded to by his content
porarWof the State press as "the. Mark
Tun of North Carolina." newas certain

was pnnieu oniy a soon wnile when it was

We are informed that Col. Charles R.
Jones, of the Charlotte Cbterver, carried to
Charlotte this morning, three large brass'
buttons, which were gathered upon "the
battlefield at Guildford Court House'many
years ago, and which from appeawrice'un-
douptedly formed a, part of the uniform or
the British gena'dier ,of thatday. They :are;
to be placed on . exhibition at the coming
celebration. - , . ,
I The same ' gentleman has also, succeeded
in getting the history of a battle flag, which
was carried by Cjpany G" of the 12th
United States Infantry during the war, with
Mexico. The flag is to be carried in the
procession . which is expected to take place
on the 20th, and is valuable only for . Us
bistory.. . It was presented to Lieut,- Chas.
1L Jones, of Fayetteville, afterwards Gen.
Charles R. Jones, of Iredell, in 1846, and
carried by his company in the memorable
campaign of Gen, Lane's command, from
Vera Cruz to the City of, Iexica, in .1847
It proudly waved over the American forces
