They propose to do this believing that a generous public will sustain them in their honest endeavors to build up a first class journal, which will-fee an-honor to Charlotte, and her people, and a creditable sheet for cirCnlation among the business men who deal with the merchants of this city. In this, effort they appeal to the live, active, business men of the place to sjustain them, and they have every asstiranfejAafctaey.riW.uJ not To-6iAll'Fools0ay: " V Can't yoa come up and pay that, bill ?

More Immigrants. Messrs Graham & Nash, received another batch of immigrant laborers, on, yesterday evening, direct from New York. These laborers are chiefly of the Italian class and look as If they would give entire safaction to their. employers They hae the appearance of being both Jipnest, and industrious, which is anjtem lrt these days of demoralized labor. One of tfieni, besides being a farmer, is a skilled Vine dresser, and has a pruning knif , which excites curiosity, in this country, but which is as common in his old home asjthe vines which grows on his native hills. This order, we are informed was filled in five days. ' These laborers afe for Mr. Davidson, of HoDewell townshiD. in this countv. Mssrs Graham & Nash havea further order r"- ... e i iu old friend.

The Graded School of Charlotte We paid a visit yesterday and spent a con siderable time in eoinar through the rooms of the Charlotte Graded School, and ; in learning something of the method of in- struction which is carried on there. This school has now been in operation for seven months, and has been a success beyond alb expectations. It is under the supennienaency oi xxev. j. x. uwuc, a . .... gentleman thoroughly qualihea oy aispo- .-.-.j.- .terprise, and a gentleman, tole soul is in the work to of such an en too, whose whole which he has devoted himself and which he executes with, so much efficiency.

They have evidently been well trained and taught with care. From liere we next visited Miss Miller's department. She' was' hearing the recita tiori'6& class in grammar. This is a more advanced Class, which is composed mainly of brighjt looking young girls, ranging in ages from ten to fifteen years. In the ' department of Miis Carr, and likewise that of Miss "Walsh, we were entertained by specimens of reading and spelling from the little Jo, Iks, and. it was decidedly creditable tcvboththe pupils and jibe- ladies who had 4 taught them. It was only occasion ally that one of the children would stumble on a ''hard word." In Miss i Walsh's ' department rthe ; children gave good evidence also, of their training in mental arithmetic, running by eertain figures, say 2, 3 or 4, from some other small number up to a hundred. . $ext in order comes the department f Mrs. Waring, where the same arithmetical ' exercises, and also exercises on the black board were being carried on. These were succeeded by a recitation in geography, in which the pupils acquitted themselves handsomely. The last place of interest was in the de partment jubich Mis Lucas presides. The scholars' vtvere spelling and going through exercises in mental arithmetic in concert.4 These were small children, and their recitations were highly entertaining. We spent a considerable time in going through the school, and had a good op portunity of witnessing the way in which it is managed. The strictest obedience is enforced,-but the government is by no means harsh. The children are impressed with proper principles, and there is a healthv. re"ous atmosphere in tbe man agement of the school. There are 275 children Fn the rolls, and the ay erae atcenuance is aDOUt 15 to VZU tor tne past uiree weeKs. The system by which the school is man- aged is faultless, and the education, so far a3 it professes to go, is thorocgh and prac- tical This school is doing a good work for Charlotte, and is "destined to accomplish much good to the poor children of the community, . Who, ; without it, perhaps fwould-never .have had h benefit) of even the education which they have gained there. It is earnestly hoped that it will be sustained and that it may continue to grow trr lumbers and inhisefulness as rap- way as b as !juic lts prst upenmg seven tnanthS'-'-t.-'-r : - We" will' hot now comment tipon the financial conditidriiof the school, as an exhibit of Its- firranceSj-prepared by its ex- cell elit SupeKhtendent, is published else where in these columns. Recovery op Stolen Meat. It was reported to the police yesterday afternoon, that a quantity of meat had been discovered in a culvert on the Carolina Central Railway, about a mile from the city limits.' Police man Blackwelder Started for the spot where it was said the meat was concealed, and arriving there found U had been recognized by Dr. W. J. Hayes, as being of the lot which was stolen from him last Thursday morn jne There were between 75 and 100 nonndaof th meat in the culvert. afl(j r jjayea took charge of , . , , . , and carried home.

It is simply weakness a breaking down of the yitalflQrces, Whatever its causes (ana they are. Innumerable), its symptom ere in the main the same. Amoeg the : most prominent are extreme lassitude loss a appetite, loss of flesh, and great mental "de pression. Indigestion and a stomach cough are also frequently concomitants of this distressing state f body Vandof mind.: The common remark in relation to persons in such a condition is, that they are con sumptive. Now, what these unfortunates really want is vigor, vital strength ; and as certainly as dawn succeeds darkness. they can recuperate their ' systems and re gain perfect -health by resorting to.
