Williams, until recently pastor of the Hopewell Presbyterian Church; in this county. He expired at Davidson College on Thursday evening at 6 o'clock. About a year ago Mr. Williams sustained a stroke of paralysis, and, ever since that time has been more dead than alive. His health has been so bad as to have necessitated, hi re tirement from the active duties of the min istry, and it was hoped that Test would re store him to his family and congregration ; but the hope was a vain one, and on Thurs day evening he passed from death into life eternal. " . ' ' ' As a man and a minister 'Mr., Williams was universally beloved, and the announce ment of his death will carry a thrill of sor row to many a heart. ' Mayor's Court ' ; ' There was only one case yesterday. Laura. Sharpe was up for an assault with a rock npon Bem- Sneed; Guilty and $3.50.

Very Reverend L. P. O'Connell, will de li ver a ftdtute at St, Peter's Cathblic Church to-moriw rhoraing at 10:15; on the - subject of f ' Trfuisbtantiatloh. ,( The citizens of Chariottegenerally are cordially invited to be present and hear this lecture. Atlanta and the Georgia State Fair. In company with a goodly party, this lo cal boarded the Air Line train last Tuesday morning, bound for Atlanta, Ga. The State Fair began theie on Monday, and we want ed to see it and the people particularly the people. v And we saw. r We left Charlotte at 6.12 and arrived I; Atlanta '.a shortly ifterS ViUg Bcraeryhichhe travel er over the Air Line . commands, v has been written . of so often by-- newspaper ' men and newspaper correspondrata,lhat we will hold off on this, although it is a very good theme upon which to discant. The most interest ing object to us on the way, (of course barring King's Mountain) was the late resi dence of John C. Calhoun, in Pickens coun ty. South Carolina. It is on Seneca River. on an tmmence, commanding everything around, about a quarter of a mile from the railroad. How little did the great states man think when he built that house, that a great railroad would so soon lay its track in front of his door, and that freight and passengers would so saon sweep past there between two cities which, at that time, occu pied but obscure places on the map, and were barely known outside of their own immediate neighborhood. A day on the train between Charlotte and Atlanta, was far from being a period of boredom to us. What, with delightful com pany, a novel, &c., it passed " rapidly. The route is an.unusually pleasant one. Added to the wild picturesqueness of the scenery, upon which one can draw almost continual draughts of interest and pleasure, the road is smooth as a, floor, and the easy gliding of the . train .conduces to comfort and rest. The excellent condition , of the road, and even the feet that it is afoad at all, is due to the almost unparalleled .exertions of Col. B. ; Y. Sage," the Superintendent. - ToAliim more than to any one else, Ma due , the exis tence of the road.and in its existence, he sees the fruition of a hope which he has cherish ed for years. Atlanta was full to overflowing. There was hardly room in the limits of the city, to swing a cat ; but, thanks to a foresight which had engaged rooms ip advance, a por tion of our party procured quarters at the Kimball House, while the other portion was kindly taken in tow by our townsman, Col. D. G. Maxwell, who furnished quarters for them at his sewing machine rooms, corner Broad and Marietta streets. The Kimball House was fairly alive with humanity, and its marble floor rang with the footsteps of the scores of people who moved to and fro in the office, and who were gazed down upon by fair women leaning over the railings of the galleries. But the point around which the chief in terest centered, was Oglethorpe Park, and the crowds which gathered here during the two days while we tarried in the Gate City, were just immense. On Wedneeday and Thurs day, the number was estimated at from 25,000 to 30,000, and certain this estimate is not far from right It was a perfect, jam, and of setting down room, there was none. The display of articles was large and fine. The exhibition in Floral Hall; was, of course, finer than elsewhere, -and the mann er of the arrangement of the articles told for cibly how industriously female hands had worked there. In this department might haye been seen some beautiful crayon draw ings from the hands of Miss Amanda' Da vidson, of Charlotte. In Mechanics' Hall, there were hubs, rims and spokes from the factory of P. S. Whisnant fe Sons, of Char lotte. Col. D. G. Maxwell, of Charlotte, had a Home Shuttle Sewing Machine on exhi bition ; and the articles named comprised all of Charlotte's contribution to the Georgia State Fair. Wednesday and Thursday were occupied with the parade of Georgia military and the test of steam fine engines. There were -six military companies and sixfire companies. The show made by each Was very fine the drilling was tmsurpassabje,; The martial ap pearance on the Fair Grounds, reminded one 1 of the days or ?war's dread alafum." The results of these tests of skill have been pub lished in the Observer, having been sent in special telegrams. - . zl The Fair was the finest and the atten dance the largest, so it is said, eyer known in the State. The whole thine was credita ble to the Empire State, and to the enter prising young city of Atlanta. The balls at the Kimball House, the ad dresses of Gens. Gordon, Lawton and Evans, at the State House, on Wednesday night, and the concert of the Beethoven Society, of Atlanta, at DeGiye's Opera House, all de serve mention, but we have already elabora ted too much. Atlanta is a marvel, considering her youth. At the close of the war, it was an ordinary town ; from this time, it sprang into a position alongside the finest and most business-like cities of the South,, ;And still her growth continues. Perhaps the most prominent feature of the place, is the Kimball House; such an establishment as this (it is six stories high and covers a block) is never found outside a real city. We envey her, though, of nothing so much as ot her grand union depot. Charlotte's representation at the Georgia ban, was as ioiiows : coi. u. j. Maxwell, srael Fink, P. S. Whisnant, Capt. R. A. Shotwell, John G. Young, W. R. Cochrane, W. C. Maffit, H. C.ECcIes and lady.Miss Lot tie Jenkins, Miss Amanda Davidson, Mrs. . M. Oates, and the writer of this, , . , Thursday evening. about dark, , yery much against our inclination, we turned our face homeward, leaving the larger and' better ooking portion of our crowd in Atlanta. We were tired, and Capt. Bill Newman had hold of the engine's throttle.. We ' know him, and know that he knows, his engine. Though the thing did fly, we slept, and be- tnra W Vnaar If jlanAeA in MnatyVMo ' 1 i ' Before we close this, we will, in: behalf ofi, the Charlotte delegation, and particularly the ladies ' of, it, thank Capt. F. M; KnowleS,. .the sleeping car conductor, for the kindness he showed, and for the pleas ure which he added to the trip,; The spirit of accommodation which he manifested, shall have a place in the memory of each and all of us. Fell Insensible at the Supper Table. Last evening, while Mr. Manias Steele, who boards at the Trotter House, was eating his supper, talking and laughing the while, he was suddenly seized, as he raised a glass of milkto his lips, with an1 affection of the brain, and with the exclamation, ''Hold me!"" fell insensible into the arms of Messrs. Ueorge Hannah and Aleck Trotter He was1 carried into the parlor, and Dr. McCombs, in answer to a summons, came to his relief. He remained insensible for half an hour, at the expiration of which time he revived, and soon thereafter became himself again. The spasm was of the "nature of a stroke of paralysis or epilepsy. It was wholly ner vous. Mr. Steele foamed at the mouth and bis limbs were contracted, showing, that he was undergoing great suffering. "We hope that by to-day he will have entirely recov ered. Death of an Old Citizen of Charlotte. Mr. Samuel Taylor died at his residence in this city on Thursday night. He was one of the oldest citizens of the place, and has been connected with its history for years past. Mr. Taylor was a native of Fayetteville, and moved to Charlotte about the year 1820. He was 76 years of age at the time of his death, and was regarded as one of the land marks of Charlotte. He was esteemed a man of substantial worth, and one man en dowed with many good qualities of heart. The funeral services of the deceased took place yesterday afternoon from Tryon Street ME Church, and were conducted by the pastor. After the sermon the Temains were interred in Elmwood Cemetery by Charlotte Chapter Royal Arch Masons, of which order Mr. Taylor was a member. Stamps on Checks. The law requires every check on a bank to be stamped. Many of our citizens have habitually, either from ignorance of the law or inattention to its requirements, neglected this. An official agent is now traveling from city to city investigating the subject.and all found neglecting to conform to the pro visions of the law will be summoned into the United States court and fined. As one half the fine paid goes to the agent, there is no mistaking the fact that he will perform his duties to the utmost. It will save an noyance and expense if all who have busi ness at any bank will attend to the caution we now giye. As every man's name is on his checks, there is no chance of escape, if the agent, when he makes official investi gation in Charlotte, should lay informa tion against any one. Stamp your checks. Federal Court at Statesville. We understand., that Statesville has been packed well nigh full this week with law yers, witnesses and litigants in the Federal Court. The big Indian suit has engrossed the time of the Court nearly all. week; Dr E. O. Elliott is our authroity for saying there are twenty-five lawyers engag ed in this case ; a large number of the Gherokces attend the Court. Gen. J. M. Leach was serenaded a few nights ago by Hie Statesville Silver Cornet Band, at the residence of his brother-in-law, Hon. W. M. Bobbins, and made an excel lent speech in return for the compliment. William Bryant, of this city, who was in dicted more than a year ago for counterfeit ing, and who has been in Statesville jail for some time past, was discharged from cus tody, a nol pros having been entered as to his case. Tlie Hop During Fair Week. The members1 jf the Charlotte Hop Club have decided to give a grand ball on Thurs day of Fair week complimentary to the visiting young ladies who will be in the city on that occasion, and for this purpose have secured the new hall of the Masonic Temple Association, over Elias, Cohen & Roessler's store - . The committee of arrange ments is making elaborate preparations for the ball, and it will be a grand feature of the week. We will say to the young gentlemen of the club, that they will be called upon in a day or two for the amount of their subscrip tions to the ball, and it is hoped that they will be ready against the coming of the collector. Personal. J. T. Hairston, Esq., of Henry co., Va., is in the city with his bride, nee Miss Bettie B. Dillard, of the same county and State. They are at the residence of Col. John L. Brown, en uncle of the lady, where a reception of the friends of the family was had last even ing. Captain Plato Durham, of Shelby, nassed through yesterday on his way to the Federal Court at Statesville. Dr. A. H. Devaga, of Chester, S. C., was registered yesterday at the Central Hotel. To Change Hands. The Charlotte Hotel is to change hands in a short time.

It is said that, in the days of the Grecian philosophers, one! of their ' number carried his cynical notions to such an- extent as to tuake h;s. permanent home in - a tub. His tory tells us his name was Diogenes, and we mention this fact in order to compare Diogenes of old with one of the disciples of his faith who at' this day, liveth in Char lotte. Our Diogenes, is more .ambitious than the old fellow who asked Alexander the Great to get "oUt'of. his' sunshine," and instead of providing a tub wherein to re side, like his ancient predecessor, has pre pared four tin pans, one of which is careful ly placed under each leg of his bedstead, Upon inquiring into the cause of the loca tion of these pans, we learned that they were supposed to have some magical effect in driving off the bed bugs. We advise those of our readers who are beset by the cimex lectulari, to stick a pin here. , - Got Left in Atlanta. Francis Marion Knowles runs his Pullman palace sleeping car through from Charlotte to New Orleans whenever the Fair is not in progress in Atlanta; but when our crowd went down on Tuesday, Francis helped his passengers off at Atlanta, and as another ti ain started off to New Orleans with his sleep er attached, he remembered to forget to get aboard it. We saw him next morning at the Kimball House, and he said he was looking for a marble yard man; that he wanted to erect a monument at Norcross to the mem ory of the chickens which went to appease the appetite of a member of the Charlotte party at supper there the night before. "Oh, Nolce," "oh, Nolce," "thou'll get thy ferrin." What Next! And now we are told that, after "doing" the Raleigh Fair, Avery, of the Piedmont Press, wended his way off eastward and so journed for some days down among the long leaf pines. We wonder what he can be doing down there? The Lord knows we have tried by precept and J. example, to lead that wayward youth in the right way ; but our work has been in vain and worse than in vain, Son, yield not to the;blandish mens of females who live among the long leaf pines, but withdraw thy feet from the land of the sand-fiddlers. Wants to Come to the Charlotte Fair. A telegram has been received from Hitch cock, the far famed ' Baltimore turfman, asking for information concerning the pre miums for race horses, the cost of transpor -tation for a car load of horses from Balti more to Charlotte, and for other points about the Fair. He expresses a wish,, to attend it, if satisfactory arrangements can be made, and we do not doubt we shall have him with us. Werry Pecooliar. We met an old lady on the streets yester day, and she must have been sorter crankey. Did we haye any tobacco ? Yes, we- had some tobacco. She took the half plug, bit off a chew, and stowed it away in the North west corner of her mouth, on the left hand side, and after she dropped the balance of it down in her pocket, cocked up one of her eyes, and was ready tor-"tell us the news." Col. Thomas' Speech. We yield up a considerable amount of tbe space on our third page this morning, to the publication of an address which was recently delivered by Col. J. P. Thomas,' of this city, at Cokesbury, S. C. It will be read with interest, particularly by our .farmer friends. The speech will be concluded in to-morrow's paper. ; Hunting Birds with a Rifle. There is a young man living about a mile from Charlotte who hunts birds with a rifle A few days ago he killed four partridges at his first four shots, while they were on the wing. Sometime ago be killed with his rifle, a sparrow hawk while it was flying two hundred feet above the ground. , - ' . . Married On the 22d instant, by Rev. J. J. Kennedy, Mr. A.
