Fracas. Two negroes and a white man

Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta depot in
which one of the negroes named White was
severely injured by a brick thrown by an
other negro named Andy Barnes. The par
ties were' arrested by policeman Healy and
broueht before the Mavor. who' assessed
Barnes five dollars and costs, and White one
w y -j i
dollar and costs. There not being sufficient
evidence against the other party he was dis
charged.
Narrow Escape.-r-Friday afternoon a
little child of Mr. E Shrier, was running
f along the pavement near her fathers resi
dence, when a wagon, drawn by two mules.
suddenly crossed the pavement. The child
ran, or rather was caught, between the fore
.legs of one of the mules, and the driver, see-
ing its position,- pulled back
and stopped the mules barely in time to save
the child from painful injuries, if not death.
A lady near by ran up and snatched the lit
tle one from its precarious position. It was
rescued without having received the slight
est injury. The escape was a narrow one.
, Shipwreck: Interest and amusement was
i occasioned . yesterday afternoon on Tryon
i street by a shipwreck in a small way. Little
Bobl Moore, who is known , to everybody in
; Charlotte, was sailing in' a box on the pond

PJre.--Yesterday morning "a short tint
after 8 o'clock, it was discovered that flames
were proceeding from a chimney in the
building occupied- by the post-office. The
fire was occasioned by the burning, out of a
foul chimney. Some .excitement grew out
f the fire but no harm was done, and the
fire died out without causing any damage.

More Immigrants. Yesterday morning
another party of immigrants for Messrs. Gra
ham & Nash arrived in Charlotte. This
makes twenty-one immigrants these gentle
men have brought 'to this county thus far,
and others still are on the way. In addition
to .those now en route, thirty more have been
ordered, and will soon be here. A colony
will be ordered soon for a party in Lincoln
county. The agents are daily in receipt of
letters from all parte of the State from farm
ers and planters desiring to order laborers
through them. .The laborers received up to
this time embrace the nations of Germany
Italy, France, England and Ireland. All of
them seem to be well pleased with their,
new homes, and are working well.

A New Volume' of LittelVs Living Age,

therefore a very good time for the beginning
of new subscriptions. The second number
of the volume, dated April lith, is just out,
and has the following varied and valuable ar
ticles : Two chapters on the Reign of Louis
XIV, by James Cotter Morrison, Fortnightly
Review; The Shield of Achilles, by Rt. Hon.
W. Gladstone, late Prime-Minister of
England, Contemporary Review : .Letters from
Elizabeth Barrett Browning on Literature
and General Topics, part III, Contemporary

Magazine; Childhood in Japan, All the Year

Story of Valentine and his Brother, besides
poetry, miscellany, &c.
The Bill to Provide for Inflation and
Free Banking.
The following is the Finance bill as
amended and as it now stands before
the Senate: '
Beit enacted, &c, That the maximum
amount of United States notes is here
by fixed at four hundred million dol
lars.
Section 2. That forty-six million in
notes for circulation, in addition to
such circulation now allowed by law,
shall be issued to national banking
associations now organized andvhich
may be organized hereafter : and such
increased circulation shall be distribu
ted among the several States as provi
ded in section one of the act entitled
"An act to provide for the redemption
of the three per centum temporary
loan certificates, and for an increase
of national bank note3," approved July
12,1870.
sec. o. xnat eacn national uanKing
association, now organized or hereafter
to be organized, shall keep and main
tain, as apart of its reserve required
by law, one-fourth part of the coin
received by it as interest on bonds ot
the United States deposited as security
for circulating notes or Government
deposits ; and that hereafter only one-
fourth ol the reserve now prescribed
by law for national banking associa
tions shall consist of balances due to
an association available for the re
demption of its circulating notes from
associations in cities ol redemption,
and upon which balances no interest
shall be paid.
Sec. 4. That nothing in this act shall
be construed to authorize any increase
of the principal of the public debt oi
the United States.
It is more than hinted bv those who
ought
to be iwell informed, that the
President is nikely to interpose his
veto, if necessary, to save the country
from the schemes of the inflationists.
The fear of this may, perchance, exert
a -wholesome influence upon the ben
ate, and lead to tne adoption ol meas
i . .i i i
ures less iniurious than those which
have for some time past seemed inevi
table. If Gen. Grant has the courage
to Tjlant himself squarely in the path
of the inflationists, and hold the Ee-
rmblican nartv to the fulfillment of
the pledges made in its platforms, he
will win a popularity comparable only
to that which he achieved, during the
late war, Christian Union.
No Name.
ijfanv, many people sutler from they
-
know not what. They are not sick they
are not well. - There is no name for it. It
is simply weakness a breaking down of
the vital forces. Whatever its causes (and
they are innumerable), its symptoms are
in the main the same. Among the most
prominent are extreme lassitude, loss of
r 1 a x 1 J
appetite, loss oi nesn, ana great juentai ue
pression. Indigestion and a stomach cough
are also frequently concomitants of this
distressing state of body and of mind.
The common remark in relation to persons
in such a condition is, that they are con
sumptive. Now, what these unfortdnates
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 Hos
tetters Celebrated Stomach Bitters. It is
as cleat that a life-reviving tonic is required
in such cases, as that the dying flame of an
empty lamp requires: to, be revived by a
new supply of oil. Perfectly pure and
innocuous, containing 'nothing but the
most genial vegetable extracts and com
bining the three grand elements of a stom
achic, an alterative, and a, geniaf invigdr
ant. Hostetter's Bitters are suitable to all
constitutions, and are as applicable to the
diseases and disabilities of the feebler sex
' as to those of men;' : No words can do jus
tice to its marvelous properties. . It stands
nre-eminent amone the health . restoring

THIS IS A GENUINE GUANO WHICH IS TAKEN FROM THE
Guanahani Island (one of the Bahama Group) and bids fair to become
one of the most popular fertilizers offered for sale. It is put up in sacks in
the same condition as when taken from the caves, and no manipulation
or grinding is required. !
It.is recommended by
Prof. P. B. WILSON, of Baltimore,
who is regarded as one of the best analytical chemists (n the country.
Our State Geologist, ;
Prof. W. C. KERR,
also, recommends it as entitled to a place among the standard fertilizers
of the country. The analysis shows it to be richer in plant ifood than the
great majority of fertilizers, which in connection with the moderate price
at which it is sold, are strong inducements for every farmer to use it.
