Saturday, may 9. .874. .v 'v..ai. .v MM:1;-':':; C , 1 TO THE PUBLIC ! As eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is continued vigilance, honest, fair and Up,ight dealing necessary to sacces3 in bus iness. Having from the outset (18 years aeo) appreciated these facts, and acted up on them, we find ourselves to-day rewarded for the countless anxieties, vexations, and the loss of hours of rest by seeing our long cherished hopes realized, of making Char lotte a Wholesale Mart, and ours an exclusive Wholesale House. F In order to be more explicit, we have the pleasure of informing the mercantile world that we have leased the snperb store, ad ioining our present, (heretofore occupied by Messrs. Brem, Brown & Co., es their Dry Goods Store), whieh we will occupy by, first of September next for the retail trade only, and win. use our present elegant and term modions store for tin exclusive WHOLESALE HOUSE thus giving to the trade a strictly "Whole sole Establishment," where they can make their selections from a Stock purchased for that trade only, thus avoiding coming in contact with a Retail Stock and Retail 15uy ers. The advantages of such a House are too obvious to need further comment. To give the general reader a better con , eption of the colossal dimensions of our two -Houses we state that we will have up wards of thirty thousand feet of superficial floor room ; or if a lane of ten feet wide were formed of our stores, it would reach ' considerably over half a mile. At the same time we inform our numer ous friends that our Mr. Rintels is now .tgain North buying our second stock this season, and owing to the decline in goods, will again place us in a position to success fully compete with till other houses, f Very respectfully, WITTKOWSKY & RINTELS.

Hand in your church notices to-day. The streets haye dried off, and tha dust is succeeding the mud. The local items crept to their holes yester day, and refused t be found. ' a i To-day is the anniversary of the death of the Christian hero, Stonewall Jackson. Wonderfully few picnics have been heard of in this section this Spring. They say the Judicial Convention at Lin coin ton next week will be hot as cremation. Yesterday was a real Summerish day bright and warm. iStraw hats and thin clothing were popular.' Business men had little to do yesterday but sit about and discuss their neighbors and the candidates for office. j The marshals are requested to meet this afternodri at 3i o'clock at the store of J A Young & Son. p Henceforth the office of Capt Fred Nash will be found in that now occupied by &r Johnson B Jones, lately occupied by Maj C Do wd. near the Court House. This office lacks nothing of being a first class job office. Any style of work desired we can do, and, that at low Jigures and on short notice. A good many persons in this city had tickets in the Norfolk Lottery, and Virginia papers have been in demand for the past two or three days. - It is to be hoped that our business men will comply with the request of the ladies of the memorial association nd close their places of business this afternoon at 4 o'clock. " The travel on the ' railroad, coming from the South is very heavy now, and hiaiiy Northerners who have been spending the winter in the South, are daily passing through this city going home.

The woman who made such an uproar on the streets Thurs day evening, and her husband, were taken out of prison yesterdaj morning and brought before the Mayor. Both of them had cool ed down very considerably, and the woman so "pugilistically" inclined the evening be fore, was yesterday as meek as any lamb. The Mayor gave them some wholesome counsel, and after an inTulrixtfdnfb - c6ancf sin no more, they were released from custo dy and went their, way. Gov. Vance. A correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, writing from "rp the Air-Line," speaks thus of our distinguished townsman: "Ex-Governor Vance, of North" Carolina, made one of his characteristic speeches at Greenville a short time since, and did much to cheer up. the faint-hearted as to the possibility of again getting the government of the State eut of the hands of the corrupt crew who have ruled and ruined "since freedom." He is invited to speak here soon. As a stump speaker he has no superior, and as a jokist he is said to surpass "the late lamented." Fight A terrific fight took place yester day morning on Trade street not far from the Air-Line Depot, between two negro wo men. They made the fur fly eyery lick, and wool, clothes and blood now mark the scene ol the combat. One of the women found, at the end of the affray, that she was minus about half of her dress, which her antago nist had borne off in triumph, and which she carried in her hand up street,, waving it over her head as a trophy. rue ponce mo. not see tne fracas, ana no rrrests were made. DeyllishMess. Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock flames were seen issuing from s hale of cotton which sat on the cotton plat form at the depots of the C, C & A and N ( Railroads. The bale was quickly taken hold of and thrown from the platform, and by timely efforts the fire was put out. The cot ton was set on fire by two boys who had been playing around the platform, and who, just before the fire was discovered, were ob served running off a'crossJthe 'Nbitb Carolina Railroad. The'pface where ihe match had been lighted on a post was plainly rto be seen, and there is nadqub.tefthat oneof the boys spoken of was the; guilty party j-r They are known and should be dealt with'. The cotton belonged to Messrs Sanders & Blackwood. Tbere,was a large number of bales on the platform, and if the discovery of the fire had not been made at the time it was, a large amount of money might have been lost. The gentlemen named alone had 150 bales on the platform. Vacancy at Davidson College. The Raleigh Crescent pays the following compli ment to our friend Prof. W. G. Richardson.

We understand that the whiskey question isljriv$oroewbat of a muddle in Statesville. They voted on Monday as to whether or not they should have liquor in the township. The law provides that those who vote on this question shall vote a tick et written or printed ''License" or "No Li cense." The prohibitionists voted "No Li- eeuse," while a number of the wet men vot ed "No Prohibition." The number of Totes cast in favor of haying liquor was greater than: the number cast against it, but in the strict construction the "No License" men carried the township by a majority of. 97 votes, because of the fact that a number of men on the other side voted "No Prohibi tion," when the law said they must vote "License" if they intended to vote in favor of having liquor. This is the situation of affairs, now, ifrwe are correctly informed, by persons just from Statesville- What will bf done about the matter we do not know, but expect to hear soon of injunctions, Bush Courts, and all that sort of thing. This election, even if decided in favor of the liquor men, will not change the condi tion of things in the town itself, which is now and will remain as dry as a powder horn. 4 THE KMGHTS OF PYTHf AS.'
