On Sunday night while ses- vices were in progress in all the churches, the sound of the Are bell resounded through the city, causing", wild contusion, and an instantaneous breaking up of congregations. : It was ascertain ed that the alarm proceeded from the residence of Jacob Lintels, Esq., on Tryon streeet, but be fore the crowd had fairly gotten to the spot, the flames hadbeen extinguished .by some members of the family. The fire was in a bureau drawer, in an unoccupied room, in which a colored girl had been with a light but a few moments before the fire was discovered. It is supposed . that she accidentally set fire to some article of clothing Which was lying in the bureau. The drawer was burned with its contents, and the bureau and wall damaged. The firemen turned out promptly. Indeed, be fore half of the congregation got out of the First Presbyterian Church, the Hornets had their en gine out, and were on the way to the scene of the alarm. It is fortunate that the flames were discovered just when they were-, else a serious Conflagration might have resulted. marks to the parents as well as the children.

A meeting of the friends and trustees of the South ern Life Insurance Company, was held at the Court House yesterday morning, at U o'clock, in pursuance of advertisement previously made. Gen John. A Young was made chairman of the metting, which was then addressed by Gen A H Colquitt, of Georgdafyice President of the Com pany named. The crowd present? was, not so large as it should have been,, but those who ,were there were entertained by an excellent and business-like - address, which was listened to 'closely. The leading argument was, let's keep '.our money at home. ' The speaker deplored the tendency of the Southern people to pay tribute continually, to the North, by investing so much " of our money there, and showed how it could be Invested with much more advantage, at home, He argued that If our money was put into home enterprises, we would soon achieve our commer cial independence, and be as prosperous as those .1 . , - q, . ml..-ft(l 4. j :uiblicill OLtfcWO, niubu " v 010 uun npillg 1 luil. kT lurZ5l JiS in..,-- There is no reason why the money which is put The Excursion to WilinttiKton. About fifty of our merchants and citizens left last night on the 9:30 train for Wilmington, on an excur sion. This trip was gotten up as a private af fair, but Lwe learn that the merchants of Wil mington, having been informed that it was the intention of some of our leading merchants and citizens to visit the "City by the Sea," as is their custom on all occasions of this kind) have taken the matter in hand) held various and' sundry meetings, and have agreed to entertain them with true North Carolina hospitality. This is certainly unexpected to the excurslonisttS, will be duly appreciated, and reciprocated when oc casion offers. We learn that Capt W W Pegram, Messrs. Pope and James Anderson, and through them, the C C & A B R, have-been equally kind and generous in not only giving free transportation, with an especial train of their best coaches,sleep- ing cars, &c., but have gone so far as to direct the purchase of refreshments, at their own ex pense. The committee ou this necessary part of the excursion are : W H H Gregory, D G Maxwell, and Jno T Butler, and at twelve o'clock yester day, reported the following as part of the neccs sarie of the occasion : Three boxes of cigars, two hams, cut into sand- wishes, two barrels of ice, four gallons of cock tails, three kegs of sugar, and divers other art! cles to make the outfit complete. The party are expected to arrive In Wilming ton at 2 o'clock P M, to-day, and will return Fri day evening next The Purcell House has been engaged for the occasion, and the excursionists are expected to be the guests 01 the Merchants of Wilmington. We are informed that the excursion grew out of an invitation on the part of a citizen of Wil mington to a citizen of Charlotte, asking .him to spend a few days at his house, and during the time to enjoy -a sail down the sound. This was mentioned to others, and meeting their apprdv al, resulted in the formation of the present ex cursion party. We mention this, to show ' that the whole thing is a private affair, and for 'fear some might take umbrage because they were not invited. When the Carolina Central is comple ted, we hspe to have an excursion to our sister 'City by the Sea," in which all can participate. communicated. Sunday at Davidson College. Comnienceaieht exercises at Davidson College were opened on-Sunday. A friend, who was present, sends us the following : Messrs. Editors The preaching here yes terday was capital. Commencement week has been inaugurated in a manner worthy of the occasion. Davidson College is now among the the venerable institutions ih our land. She was bom in the last generation and she counts three hundred and fifty chil dren. The Seniors who are to receive their diplomas on Thursday are understood to be in high repute with the Faculty, with their associates and with the young ladies as well as with thenaselves. Dr? Martin, of Danville, Va, the newly elected professor, in the Presbyterian Seminary, at Columbia. S C, preached the Baccalaureate Sermon at 11 o'clock, A M, with great power, giving eminent satisfaction to all' his hearers. ' He derived his instructions from the words of our Savior, "He that is faithful in that which is the least, is faithful also in that which is much." Of course the sermon was eminently practical, showing . with much clearness of argument, and with numerous striking illustrations, that tita little and constantly recurring obediences of life re veal the depth and strength of a man's loy alty to God,,to truth, and to virtue far roore surely ihari griind and oowsiohal uih ful ness to 'duty. " ..... Mr Dickson, of Chester. 8 Cpreached the sermon before'thW night. His object was to sustain Faith and to secure hopefulness in the f Missionary work by showing the reasonableness of ex ertion to "realise the promise in the twenty second Psalms, ".All the kindreds of the nations shall worship before . thee." He showed with much power from logic, and much testimony from history, tthat as the wound of humanity was but one, . so the balm for that wound, and the physician was but one. These two sermons illustrated the one the other, the destruction of the king dom of darkness depends on the constant in, and dey.all as widi-one'-Swoice hoi lered 'outb de way.?" i Sam "Yotf ' have told ut$ ' da 'Jbet iore. , .44, u , , :.

A correspondent, who lives about 25 miles from Charlotte on the line of one of our railroads, writes us under date of yes terday of an encounter which he had on Sunday night, with a large black Tom cat. He says that he was going Over from his store to his dwelling, and while in the railroad cut, he was suddenly set upon by the cat, which sprang up at his breast He knocked it off, but nothing daunted the cat, rose and went for him again, only to he kick ed off a second time. The fight continued for some time," the kicking," scratching and. tearing up of dirt being pretty lively. ' " i Our correspondent at length secured a cessa tion of hostilities for a sufficient length .of .time to enable him to draw a pistol, with which, he killed his ferocious assailant. . He wants to know now if that cat is crazy, and if not, what is the matter witlTIt? ' Fast Driving. A,, correspondent writes us as follows: His article is very; pertinent and we produce it with pleasure : - Editor Daily. Observes-Won't you again urge our city fathers to prevent the fast dri ving of drays. ' We have never been able to find out why a drayman with a half dozen I. loose plank en bis wagon is permitted? to drive at a much greater speed -than , 'other persons. '"I witnessed a few ." days since - a drayman going , down -Tryon .street at the rate of ten or twelve miles per Jiour., This . speed is about time miles as fast as the rail road trains are .allowed to ruu through the city.

Much has been said and written about this fast driving. . Yet' nd. steps" have been takea- to prevent it.
