TO THE PUBLIC!
As eternal vigilance ia the price of liberty,
u is continued vigilance, honest, fair and
inritrht (iealingaiiecesaary to saccess in bus-
lao) appreciated these facts, and acted up-
in tneni, we uiiu uuiacn i,u-uajr
rnnntless anxieties, vexations, and
he loss of hours of rest by seeing our long
Iieris'.jc 1 liopps realized, of making Char-
otte a
Wholesale Mart,
and ours an exclusive
Wholesale House.
in r.lr to he more explicit, we have the
..lo-aiirp nf informins: the mercantile world
tht'ire Imve leased the superb store, ad-
nrpsent. (heretofore occupied by
Afra TirAm. Brown & Co.. as their Dry-
ioods Store), which we will occupy by first
of September next for the retail trade only,
;Hd will use our present eiegant uuu uum
modious store for an exclu3ive
W HOLES ALE HOUSE
Ims triving to the trade a strictly "Whole-
ole Establishment," where tliey can make" I
hi ir selections from a Stock purchased for
; 1 1 u.t trade only, thus avoiding coming in
vmtact with a Retail Stock and Retail Buy
iMP. '1 lie advantages ot such a liouse are
r obvious to need further comment.
; To give the.general reader a better a.m-
i upturn or the colossal dimensions ot our
,vo Houses we state that we will nave up-
-vards of thirty thousand feet, of superficial
luur room ; or if a lane of ten feet wide
were formedof our stores, it would reach
(oiisiiU'rably over half a mile.
At the same tune we lntorm our numer
ous friends that our. Mr. Rintels is iiow
.i'uin North buying onr second stock this
season, and owing to the decline in goods,
will again place us in a position to success-
:ully compete with all Other houses.

Excitement en the Street. About dark
yesterday evening the piercing screams of a
child wfrrf .Ii sard by persons on Trade street
between Try on and College. The cries were
soon found to proceed from the bonding
house of Mr Alien Stewart, and a crowd
assembled in front bf the house. In a few
moments the proprietor was observed eject
ing a man and woman from the house, and
inquiry elicited the information that the wo
man-was drunk and had been beating a
child of hers, a little boy, in an unmerciful
manner, when other persons in the house
broke the door down and went in; she met
them at the door with a chair and struck at
one of than with it. She knocked Mr
Stewart down, but he finally ejected her
i and the man, who was her husband, from
the house. Both of them were drank and
made agreat ado about what they called
their Ul-treatment.
In the midst of the noise and confusion
the police came down upon them and took
them under arrest. The roan was taken
tlmmm itVo aiet ihmImImii), buf Hie-WP
man struggled manfully. and once escaped
from her captors after knocking one of them
down and having torn her dress nearly off
in the resistance. She was finally rescued,
however, and taken to jail, while the man
was taken to the calaboose.
The roman is a perfect virago and swore
fearfully while being taken off. She and
her husband are Irish, and have been in
this section but about two weeks. The wo
man yesterday afternoon, according to the
account of Mr. Stewart's boarders, wallop
ed her husband in good style, and after
wards came near killing her child.
However bad a woman she may be, the
sight of her struggles yesterday evening, and
the mere fact that she was a voman, excited
the deepest commiseration for her in many
breasts.
Sale of the Grounds and Property of
the Fair of the Carolina Irl accordance
with the adyertiseinent previously made by
Thos W Dewey, Esq., Trustee, all of that
yaluable property known as the Grounds of
the "Fair of the Carolinas," containing about
43 acres, together with all the appurtenances.
buildings, improvements and appliances at
tached, was sold at auction at 12 M., yester
day at the Court House door, by C F Harri
son, auctioneer. Gen Rufus Barringer, the
attorney of the corporation, made a state
ment of the financial condition of the socie
ty, and explained that the title to the pro
perty was undisputed.
There were but few persons in attendance
and the bidding was not lively. The whole
property was knocked down to Dr Ja Gra
ham at the astonishingly low price of $11,-
700. Mortgages on this property for a very
considerable amount are held by the Bank
oMecklenburg and the First National Bank.
It is designed, we believe, to make a mile
track on the grounds and to. hold Spring
and Fall races there.
It is to be regretted that the city and, the
private citizens : should lose the money
which they have invested in this enterprise,
but it has been demonstrated, we think, to
the satisfaction of all, that the institution
cannot be made to pay as an agricultural
fair.
The new company which has bought the
grounds have two charters the old Fair of
the Carolinas charter and one for a race
course . They are willing .to take in other
stockholders, and if those who lost money
in the former enterprise wish to make an at.
v..i. v uv:
tempt to save
in this, they can have an opportunity of do
ing so. If any other association, the Gran
gers for instance, desire to lease the grounds
for the purpose of holding a fair, they will
find the new owners of the grounds willing
to lease. -.-It
may be well to state that the mortgages
under which the grounds, Ac, were sold
yesterday, were for the improvements which
were put on the grounds, and not for debts
contracted since the Fair 'has been put in
running order.-4
