They shoot them generally about day light, and from that time to 6 o'clock. Our citizens are leaving town as fast as they can, and getting to the mountains and seaside. Many of them are now absent. r' There was a great calm in every quarter of the city yesterday. A dog fight any where would have attracted a regiment of people.

We would'notify the public that the registra tion books are now open, and the registrars are waiting for the citizens to come up and register in time for the August election.

' We desire to enter our most solemn pro test against persons engaecd in moving houses, moving them immediately across the pavements, and leaving them there overnight. This is something to which pedestrians ought not be asked to submit. A firm in this city received a telegram yesterday from New York, informing them that the first bale of cotton this season had been shipped North from Texas, on the 4th of July. If we get blooms here by the 4th i of July, we are doing well. ; Business is mighty dull, but you can't get a clerk to acknowledge it They sit down and snooze awhile, then waking suddenly up, rush across the street in their shirt sleeves, pocket handkerchief sticking from the rear pocket of their pants, as if .'all the world depended upon their getting back to the store within a certain 1 time. About $2,000 additional in stock has been subscribed to the Charlotte Ice Company. The machine is again in motion, and the qompany will go right ahead in the manu facture of ice.. An abundant-nuantity will Soon be" made to supply not oply Charlotte but all neighboring towns. . 4'- The Excursion to Morehead City and Beaufort. A grand excursion will take place from this eity to Morehead City and Boaufort. leaving here on Tnesdav. tfie 14th. atwi reaching Morehead on the morning of the 15th. This trip will be one of the most delightful imaginable. At this fearfully hot period the sea breeze is delightfully cool and invigorating, and toe surl-oatnnig is a luxury indeed. No one who can possibly go on this excursion should miss it, for the trip is one well worth taking.' Fare for' the round trip from Charlotte is $9 (very low), and from intermediate points on the line it 6 proportionately lower. A ponyf penning will take place on the 16tb, and on the evening of that day a grand dress ball. Re turning the train will leave on the evening of the 17th. i . ' ( .

They were also copied into the Tobacco Leaf, printed in this office, j Now, the Combined circu lation Of the three papery Is not less than forty five hundred. J Giving five readers to each pa per, and that is below the average, not less than twenty-two thousand readers have read the arti cles in regard to V Charlotte and her business.' Tn MttWi firth dm AmnoH ries who have considerable advertising patron age from our merchants, have copied some of the allusions lour-business men, which has added also largely to the circulation of our arti cles. " If we may be the instrument of good to our community, or add a dollar to the wealth and prosperity of our city, we may be able to add a small fraction of It to our treasury. TRien our community is prosperous, we hope to be. -When that Is not so, we cannot expect it We have carefully excluded from our columns, that class of advertising called "paid locals," but in our conduct of this Journal, we shall endeavor just as rigidly to "render unto Caesar, the things that are Caesars." 1 Every prosperous business community, owes its exlstence'generally to its live, business, liber al and public spirited men. Be it our privilege to commend them and their actions to the hearty sympathy and commendation of their fellows, in the race for progress and advancement With these preliminary remarks, we resume our pen pictures of our city and its business. Contrary to the general laws of trade, Char lotte has become one of the leading and Impor tant grocery markets of the South, We say con trary to the general laws of trade, because gro ceries are generally very heavy articles of mer chandise, and we have been in the habit of buy ing such goods in quantities at our sea ports, where dealers have the advantage of sliipping facilities. Water carriage has, In all ages, been the cheapest mode of transportation, and it will probably ever remain so. Every inland city then, must have some advantage to enable her to compete with her more fortanate sisters, or she will fall behind in the race for preferment. While Charlotte can not boast of a sea port, she is the terminus of several of the leading rail roads, which go to make up the iron chain that links the destiny of a common country into one of general interest Ships, laden with the famed wealth of the Indias, do not pour their treasures into her bosom, until they have first passed through other hands, or if the merchandize has been bought and imported by our own merchants, as it is in many instances, it must pay a small tribute to the port of entrance, but by 'being able to get the benefit of. through rates, our merchants are able to sell suqh goods at a very slight advance on prime co3t,--so slight. Indeed, that Charlotte has gained the reputation, and justly too, of being the cheapest grocery mar ket in the Soath.-away from the sea shore. She enjoys-the enviable advantage ' of being located at the termiriusKof 1 roads, leading directly to Charleston and Norfolk, the two. best harbors in the South, while the port of Wilmington will be at her door, upon the completion of the Carolina Central Railrood say 1st September. Wlftfeshe' has the dis-advantage of being at a distance from a sea port, she has the immense ad vantage of being situated in the heart of one of the best farming countries on the globe, and of being the recognized commercial mart for that stretch of country comprising the whole of Wes tern North Carolina, and all of upper South Carolina. It is. the' cotton market for all this ! country, and this at Once gives it a prominence among onr Southern cities,' wliich no other In dustry or enterprise could confer, ti 1 A. 11 1 i. x : - r . 41.1.' ib IS UUb.gcliclciilj &UOWU, jCb lit 13 il ItiUb, tUUli the farmers of Mecklenburg alone have now a million and a half of dollars locked up in. the bank vaults of Charlotte. This can be said of no other county in the State, or of the South, that we know of, and is at a time when taxation and government extravagance, waste and cor ruption have run riot with the substance of the land. That the farmers have prospered is an evidence of the capacity and character of our surround ing country. That they have prospered in spite of the circumstances of governmental misrule, and in some instances, a complete demoraliza tion of our labor system, is another evidence of what can be done by pluck, energy and perse verance, in a country enjoying the natural ad vantages which we do. That our merchants have prospered under such circumstances is a matter of course.--. . . . communicated. ., TH E COMET J THE COMET !
