" There will be a literary nreeting of the Young Mens' Chrbtian Association, at the Association Room, to-nigh at 7 o'clock. The Mayor had only one case yesterday; that of a negro for being drunk and disor derly. The exercise of these privileges of this free American citizen, cost him $4. Sunday morning between midnight and daybreak, the skies cleared up, and by daybreak this morning was bright and cold. The weather has remained so since, and we have now a taste of genuine winter. Many of the friends of Mr. John G. Young, were present last evening at h:s re ception, in accordance with invitation, to congratulate b,in an4 his bride upon their Beautiful pictures of the ladies connected with" the Dolman and Berger troupes, hang in the hotels and in some of the store win dows, and make every fellow's eyes dance and make him swear that e is eoine to both shows. Now ain't thev sweet ? Runaway. On Sunday afternoon, while Mr. M. Kop- pel and a yonng lady, were out boggy riding, the horses became frightened and ran away. Mr. Koppel and the lady were both thrown out, but neither was hurt. The buggy was smashed up considerably . . " The Knight Templars. Among the Knight Templars who passed through' this city Sunday morning, was an English nobleman. He received special honors from the others of the party, and at supper here was given a choice seat and special attention. Four more Knights passed through yes terday, on their way to the place of convo cation. Rev. P. J. Carraway, The popular and much beloved pastor of Tryon St. Church, left with his family on last evening's train. . He goes to Raleigh to attend the annual session of the N. C. Con ference. His ministry has been very suc cessful daring the past year," and he leaves us carrying with'nfrh the best wishes of all our people ; ' hia many (friends ' hope . that he will be returned to ns another year, : Bad Conduct la' Church. A lady correspondent calls attention, in a communication in another column, to the bad behavior to be seen in some of the churches of the city. The complaint is a just one. Not to speak of the sin, the ill- manners of whispering and laughing in church, is very great ; and persons who go there to scoff, have no right to outrage the feelings of those who go there from different jnotives. " A word to the wise," &c Married Since the Last Trip. Some of our young men will be sorry to learn that Miss Etta Berger has been married since the company was through here- last winter. She cast her lot with a young man resident in Jackson, Mich., who has a blonde moustache, half a million dollars, and a block of brick buildings in Jackson. Miss Etta is with the troupe tlm season, but it will be her last trip with it. These facts are told us by Mr. Fowler, the business mana ger. The Berger Family. This favorite company will perform in the Charlotte Opera House next Monday and Tuesday evenings, the 7th and 8th inst. Great additions have been made since it was here before, and the troupe, is now better than it-ever was. Many persons will regret that Sol. Smith Russell is not along, but his place is filled by lessrs. Legrand and Mc?- Kee, the latter of whom is said to be the be?t comic vocalist in the United States. We look forward with interest to the coming of the Bergcrs. St. Andrew's Day.' j esterday, Jov. dUtt,, was St. Andrew's Day, a day sacred in the eyes of every Scotchman, and one which they think them selves called upon to observe,, in some man ner, wherever they are gathered together in any number. Our Scotch fellow-townsmen are no exception to the rule, and yes terday afternoon, a little note, " reading 'as i follows, was handed us ; "The Scotchmen resident in Charlotte, will be. glad to have the presence of t our local r at their little af fair to-night at 8 o'clock, at the rooms of Mr. Phillip, over the store of K, 30aXUer(k- We feel complimented, -and very much re eret our inability, caused by. a., pressure of business, to. m. wi tur lenoasi last even- i n r .

Charlotte hs already had more and be'W public amusements this season than ahe has1; had before, and the end is not vet. To-morv row night we have the Holmans ; the hall is engaged the, next night by a company of jugglers from tNew York; next Monday and Tuesday nights the Berg era, and last even ing Messrs. Sanders & Carson : received a letter from Harry Watkins, in which! he wrote to engage the Opera House 1 for the evenings of the 18th, 19th and 20th of Jan-, uary for a company which wanted to come then, though what company he did not state. : , The Holmans. To-morrow evening our people will haye the opportunity of enjoying the perform ances of a reajly good opera company. That the Holman British Opera Troupe is such, we haye no kind of doubt. It is spoken of in terms of high praise by all who have seed it, and the route which It takes, and the length of time which it plays in the large cities, is a'suflUaeat testimonial to its char acter. We hope the citizens of Charlotte will turn out and give the Holmans a good house. Kan Killed. . i On Sunday morning, a white man whose name we hava been unable to learn, was killed by the Southern bound mail train oh the Charlottec'ambia fe Augusta Rail road, near Lewis' Turn Out. The man was drunk and was sitting or lying on the track. The engineer flaw him, but was too dose, when he firs$ discovered him, to stop in time to avoid killing him. The eDgine'id perhaps one or or tw-s cars ran over the un fortunate ma;-tllin him instantly. Ilia remains were put on the up train the same evening, arid, brought to Rock Hill - Court Yesterda3r. The whole time of t!he Superior Court yes terday was engrossed with the civil docket, the trial of State rases having been tempo rarily stopped. The forenoon was consum ed in calling over the civil docket, and after dinner, the case of McConnell vs. Caldwell, was taken up.! "This is an old bill in equity for title to lard, and was begun in 1863, by the late'Jndge Boyden and 8. Lowe. Messrs. W?H. Bailey and Jones & Johnston, appear for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Wijson & Son and CDowd fer the defendant. By night, the. plaintiff had congpded bis testimony, and this morrio$, "the defetjee will take its. Ail the cases on the civil - docket bevond 130, were continued. COiIMPSICATED.1 A Great .nd Growing Evil. Me. Edttc- : I desirS to say a few word3 in reference to an evil that is assuming serious dimensions among us, yiz : levity in our houses of worship. It is painful to wit ness the want of reverence among a portion of our church going people. It disturbs and annoys those who truly desire to profit by what they hear ; it shocks the feelings of the devout worshipper ; it is dishonoring the Preached Word ; it is an insult to Him who said regarding it : "He that heareth yo.i heareth me." I plead for reverence tn the house of God- "Be more ready to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they consid er not that they do evil." The Carolina Central. It begins to look now, sure enough, as if this road was about through. Up to last Saturday noon the gap was only eight mils wide, and track laying goes on at the rate of three-quarters of a mile per day. The only thing which can now. delay the pro gress of the work.is the trestle at McAlpine's Creek. This is not yet finished, and it may be that this will throw the arrival of the first train in Charlotte, behind the 15th. though it is strongly hoped that it will not. In this connection we desire to give our hearty endorsement to all that is said by our contemporary, the Wilmington Journal, (in an article which we publish this morning,) in regard to the remarkable vigor and ener gy with which this work has been prosecut ed. The Case of YYm. Capps Came before Judge Schenck yesterday, on the question whether he would or would not mitigate the sentence of three years in the Penitentiary, for larceny, given him by Judge gan at the last term of Court. Strong appeals were made for Capps by his counsel, his ill health being strongly uiged upon the consideration of His Honor. Judge Schenck would not grant the commu tation, as asked for, but re-sentenced the prisoner to three years, giving him credit, however, for the six months which he has already served in jail here, since the Spring term of Court, and thus reduced the time which he will have to stay in the Peniten tiary, to two years and six months. It is the sense of the community that this sen tence is just, and that such a man as the prisoner, should not be turned loose upon the community. , Personal. The members of the bar already present, were . reinforced yesterday by the arrival of W. H. Bailey, Esq., of Salisbury. R. M. Stokes, Esq., of the Union (S, C.)

Proposition to I ease At the recent meeting of the stockholders of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Rail' road, held in Columbia on the 20th instant, a proposition was submitted from the South Carolina Railroad, to lease the Charlotte, Columbia fe Augusta Railroad for a term of years. A committee was appointed to con sider the proposal,, and toreport , the best terras they could make. It rs understood that the Southern stockholders of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad are favorably disposed to the lease. The opposition to it comes from the Southern Security Company, who own a large proportion of the stock. W. H. H. Gregory, Broker. W, H. H. Gregory, Eq., has established a brokerage in this city, which is likely to grow into a large business, and to prove a big thing. Mr. Gregory returned Sunday morning from New York City, and had displayed on the counters in his office yes tsrday, samples of 1,(3)0 sacks of coffee, be sides samples of sugars, molasses and syrups. By msans of this office, our mer chants, and those from neighboring places, can buy any of these groceries at New York or Baltimore prices, and obtain the benefit oft he price of gold, in New York on the day when the purchase is made here. Purchas es have already been made by many of the Charlotte merchants, from Mr. Gregory, and nearly, if not quite all of them, will per haps supply themselves regularly from his stock hereafter, as they can buy just as cheap'; and. besides have the goods right at hand whenever neededj without having to wait until an order ban go to New York, be filled, and return. Joseph D. Elliott. We have information from Statesville yes terday morning, that this ill-starred youth was to have left Statesville yesterday after noon to take up his abode in the Peniten tiary for five years. He was brought down from ?Wilkeshoro Saturday, arriving in Statesyille after dark. The verdict and sen tence, we hear, were a great shock to him, for he has cherished the confident hope, ever since the homicide, of a speedy and honora ble acquittal whenever the case came to trial and all the facts were brougat out. His is one of the saddest cases of which we ever knew. A youth, a mere boy, one of splen did character and standing in the communi ty where he lived, handsome, of pleasing address, open-hearted and open-handed, the centre of a large circle of friends and the hope, the idol of a father and a mother's heart, driven to desperation in one moment cemmits a deed which confines him for five years to the association of a villainous herd, and casts a stain upon his good name, and a shadow over his life, which time can never efface. Arid who doubts what his future will be, when he emeiges, if he ever does from the walls of that prison ? Considered in the light of Jo Elliott's character, his youth, and the causes which he had for the com mission of the crime, his fate is to be deeply deplored. State Agricultural Journal. The last issue of this paper contains, the salutatory of our friend, Johnstone Jones, Esq., as editor in chief. The readers of the Journal have cause to congratulate them selves upon this accession. Mr. Jones is possessed of marked ability as a writer fer one so young, and, has , already made his mark in this State and South Carolina as a newspaper editor. We make the following extract from his salutatory : "With this issue of the State Agricultural Journal, I assume it3 entire and exclusive editorial management and responsibility, with the valuable assistance of certain as sociate editors, whose names will be duly announced. Possessing no interest in the ownership of this paper, I have nothing to do with its business management except during the absence of the Proprietor, when I will exercise a general supervision and control oyer it. During the time of my control of this journal, I shall place it and hold it in an attitude of perfect independence of all cliques, rings, and combinations tormed tor what may consider an improper or evil purpose. The Patrons of Husbandry is a combination of men ; so is the government we live under ; so also are the Church organizations, Tem perance orders, and also the various benevo lent societies and traternities that contnDnte to the benefit of mankind morally, reli?- iouslv. socially, or materially. Like all other institutions founded upon the eternal principles of Right, I perceive in the insti tution known as the Patrons of Husbandry, good and not evil. It shall therefore re ceive my earnest support as long as it con tinues in well-doing." "Our Great Fair and Railway." Under this head, the Wilmingtan Journal of the 28th. has the following article: "We are in receipt of the most gratifying informa tion in reference to our approaching Fair. Our own chieftian of the lowlands, the gallant Waddell, and that noble chief of the highlands, Gov. Vance, will deliver address es during the Fair. J The celebration of the opening of the Carolina Central Railway is likely to be a most important feature of the Fair. Waddell to represent the East, and Vance the West! The seaboard and the moun tains in council for the interest of the State ! The occasion of the completion of a great line of railway, running 240 miles due west, from the seashore to the mountains, is an event that every son of the Old North State should rejoice oyer. And to this we add the pleasing intelligence that this g-eat line is to cross the mountains, not in t'ie dim and misty future, but now.. Scarcely do we hear of the closing of the gap between Wilming ton and Charlotte before rumors are rife that orders are about to be given to push the head of the column acrnsstheriountains both by Asheville and Cranberry. . Surely the Carolina Central' has live own ers and live managers.

'This institution is designed for the benefit of the ydung'rrien of Charlotte arid vicinity. It is comprehensive in its offers, being de signed to give its advantages to any who may come. The .exjiense is a trifle 25 cents a quarter. What we need in this fast age is union something that will serve as a bond to unite us together. We need ...to lay our heads and hearts together. We need to talk over our trials, our temptations; to fight the enemy in ranks. An association would bring the young men of Charlotte together, make them acquainted, discover many wants of ourselves and of those around us. devise plans to aid the needy, relieve the suffering, and feed the hungry soul. Young men, are there no destitute ones in your knowledge, whom you know not how to re lieve? State their, case to ah association of young men, as we trust ours will be, and if nothing more is done by you, there has been much done. 0, let us unite together as young men of the same community, ani mated with the same hopes, surrounded with the same temptations, deserving the same good, and destined to the same great end. Again, this association will afford a pleas ant asylum for young men who leave the restraints Of homo, and plunge into the great tide of business. They board ' at a ho tel or a restaurant, or it may be in a crowded private house. In none of these places do they meet the cordiality with which they have been accustomed, and hence they seek for pleasure in the saloon, the billiard room, or house of bad repute. Young men, a little more congeniality among ourselves, .a more extened acquaintance with our brother's wants, a warmth of feeling, a cordial greet ing, would do much toward strengthening our own moral natures, saving our brother's reputation, and perhaps his soul. " Am I my brother's keeper?" W. M. HrKTER. The Carolina Military Institute. We learn that the Cadets of this Institute, having subscribed a sufficient amount to purchase instruments for a Military Band, composed of members of the corps, the instruments were received at the garrison on Saturday. They are, we understand, the celebrated Dodworth German Silyer Rotary instruments, Bell back style ; are of exquisite finish and reflect great credit upon the manufactur. "Well known to our citizens as the second cornet performer of the State, has been engaged to instruct the member? of the Band. The unexceptionable success which had attended this young Institute ha3 more than once attracted the attention of those inter ested in the education of the yquth of our land. This success was not, however, achieved without any difficulties. Oar. citi-. sens will remember that it was started in the midst of our late financial straggle. The hostility of the State Government to the. enterprise was openly expressed, and the re fusal of arms to the Institute was emphatic. Feeling assured, however, of the nobility of his calling, the Superintendent's zeal neer lessened. ' The feeling of hostility, once that of the State Government, has given place to a just and sensible pride, the testimony of which it has furnished the Carolina Military Institute with the lightest, neatest and most approved arms now manufactured. In allowing the organization of a: Bfa"ss Band- among the Cadets, it is the general 1 opinion, in fact we have heard no exception taken, that Col. Thomas, has done a good thing. We mean the introduction of music as one of the aids to the reiinement of taste, and to general knowledge. It is with pleasure that we hail the Cadet Silver Cornet Band of the Carolina lilrtafjj' j Institute. '.May it live long and prosper," and may its alma mater never die. . : Meeting' of the Bar. We understand that a meeting of the law yers in attendance upon this Courts was held last evening at the Court House,, 'to devise some mean if found practicable, to expedite the large business which has accu mulated upon the docket, and to save the county the heavy expense of special terms and to secure a more prompt and Speedy trial of prisoners confined in jail. The' plain adopted will be submitted to the County Commissioners, and to the Grand Jury, and if found to meet the approbation of the tax payers of the county, and if it appears to be satisfactory to them, a bill will be introduced into the. Legislature to secure the necessary changes in the law. j In the opinion of those present, a plan can be deyised to obviate the inconvenience eiv perienced by suitors arid witnesses in their attendance upon the Court, without any ad ditional expense to the county r 1 i - sjat .i 1 1 f A clergyman's cat at West Spring geld, Mass., has shown most remarka ble symptoms of 'natural 'depravity!
