Burglary In the Ontry.On yester day morning about 1 o'clock,' two "our glars, doubtless of, the gang which has been operating in this city, committed ; depre dations at the hov(se of Mr S II Hilton, who lives three miles from Charlotte on the GC4 ARB. TheV first entered the dining room of the house, and did this by cutting a pane of glass out of the window then reaching inside and" JftT3stenJrijj the saslu From this the burghir?stole cooked blfead and meat, land indeeu everything eatable in the room, besides, dishes, &c Leaving, the .window up, they proceeded liext to a window of a room adjoining that in which Mr Hilton and his wife were tasleep.

The charge against Capps is haying, 4 months 3'o, stole a large quantity of gun-powder, perhaps ten or twelve kegs, from the store of Messrs Grier & Alexander, and having it sold around through the country by his agents. The authorities have been work ing up the case ever since the robbery took placeaaxlliieir labors have resulted in the arrest of Capps, as tbe guilty party, The evidence,; we understand, ; is very strong against him.

V"e noted the fact, about a week ago that OUC. -Fulton, Esq., editor of the Baltimore -American,1 had stopped one day n Charlotte on his return to Baltimore from a Southern trip. In the American of the 25th-inst., we notice some sketches of the trip from the pen of Mr. Fulton, and in the course of the article the follow ing paragraphs occur concerning our little city : "Having been detained about twelve hours in the ancient city of Charlotte. N. C. which is famous for its historical mem ories, mi opportunity was afforded to view its attractions. It is located m the midst of the gold region of the State, and is the seat of a United States branch mint, though but little gold is now produced frm its mines. Most of these mines have lonir since been abandoned, the yield being too I Ouartotte is a beautiful citv, and con siderable business is here transacted, sume ol its stores and warehouses being of quite a metropolitan aspect. It has two or three hotels, the principal being the Central, which is quite a large and well-managed house, the comforts of which all of our passengers enjoyed during their compul sory sojourn. ,A large brick woollen fac tory in the centre ot the city stands idle, having never recuperated since the war. Efforts are being made to induce Northern capitalists to set its looms in motion again. The streets are broad, and many .elegant private mansions ornament its suburbs. Charlotte is a very ancient city, hav ing long since reached its centennial anniversary-.' Sbme"interesting historical mem ories are, awakened here. The patriots of Mecklenburg county assembled at Char lotte jn 1775, and boldly passed a series of resolutions.declanrig themselves indepen dent of the British Crown, thus anticipat ing by a year the Declaration of 1776.

The Lecture Last Evening. A large and highly intellectual audience assem bled last evening in the Chapel of the Charlotte Institute for Young Ladies, to hear the address of Col.J P Thomas. Col. Thomas was introduced by a neat speech from Rev Dr Chapman, and began his lec ture to an attentive auditory. He an nounced in the beginning that, without intandipg todepreciate in any manner thes glorious history of the "Old North State," he would turn the attention cf those pres ent, to the affairs of another State to South Carolina, her past, her. present, and her future. The speaker alluded first to the early settlement of the State, then followed up her history, in a grecefully flowing style, from the earliest days to the present time. He spoke of the many illustrious deeds which her sons had performed, and of the eminence to which the State had risen and the glorious stand which it had taken among States in war by her soldiers, and in peace by her orators, poets and states men. If the State had taken a prominent position in the wars of the nation, it has taken a' ho less prominent stand in the world of letters through the learning and accomplishments of its sous. He spoke of the influence which South Carolina bad in,-days past wielded in the couneihrof the nation , and of the part the State had taken in the first formation of the American1 'Union. i From this, Col. Thomas, after concise resume of he history of the State from the beginning of the Jttev dlujiipup to the time-of t the war betwTeen the States; ; passed on to a consideration of the . nosition of South Carolina' in reference? to the late! itruggle, and paid a beautiful and glowing tribute to the sagacity arid .courage i of her Generals, . and thel devotion and bravery f the masses of her soldiery. After this he took1 urj and reviewed very briefly-the condition of the State since the war. its misrule, deg radation ,0jf . its . citizens, and the de bauqhery and corruption jbtciiajvl f Col.
