Young America. A youth of about 13 summers, jolly as a tar and stout as a quarter-horse, entered into a combat with a little gentleman of German extraction yesterday, in Sixth street, between Tryon and the platform of the North Carolina Railroad, and, after having made a conquest, strode off with a style which would have become a Falstaff, while Dutchy waltzed off on his ear.

A Bright Boy. We bald a call yesterday from Master Hugh G. Kirkpatrick, aged 7 years, eon of J. R. Kirk patrick, Esq., of Pineville Township, who showed us a certificate of deposit in the Commercial National Bank of Charlotte of wenty pollars Vin "SUyer, !nich.' he Jiaa jmada - bj i picking; - cotton ;ftri a his I father.

He is a. stranger at Lewis' J Turn Out, where he was killed, and at Rock Hill, to which . his remains were taken. There was a cotton bill in his pocket bearing the name of J. T. Wingate, and it is supposed,' and with reason, that this was nis name. An inquest was held over the body at Rock Hill on 'Sunday. Deceased was a young man, and had a bottle of whiskey in one of his pockets when killed. Another temper- The Scotchmen's Banquet. " As we yesterday foreshadowed Monday night, '.the eve of St. An drew's Day, wSr remembered by. 'the Scotch residents of CharlotW ' in the usual w ay, at the office of Messrs. Appelget & Phillip, Architects, our townsman, Mr. A. Macaulay, presiding, supported by Mr. Phillip. The usual f toasts made on such 4 occasions were drank off with all the honors coupled with the names of parties present, who replied suitably. Being the first cele bration of the anniversary of Scotland's Patron Saint in Charlotte, a resolution was passed for the perpetuation of the same by the formation of a Scottish Society, lue no tice of Thieh will be made public whes .ef fected. We wish we could have accepted the in vitation of our friends to join witli them'-in their. celebration. . . , : - Tbe Bat and the System of Courts. We sincerely?. rust that the action taken by the members of 'the bar, at their meeting on Monday cvenii!.', will accomplish the good which is sought, and relieve the people of the burdens which they hjve hitherto borne in the way of paying witnesses in attendance at Coutt for duys and days and in feeding a jail full of rascals and vagabonds. Certain ly some change i needed. For instance: Court adjourn n Saturday evening ; a prisoner is conhnra in jaii next week lor some crime or other ; is the isw now stands he must stay there unt il the Spring term of Court next May, at an expense of 50 cents per day to the cpunty.while he returns noth ing m payment for his board. The long attendance of witnesses, too, is very onerous to the county as well as to the citizens themselves, they draw heavily upon tbe county ibr their expenses, yet that which is allowed them by law does not pay their ex penses. Everything calls for a reform of some sort, and if we are correctly informed as to its proceedings, the bar, at its meeting on Mon day night, hit upon the proper plan, in our opinion. lator About the Air-One. It has already been stated that Major P. A. Wellford, the managing director of the Air-Line Railroad, had filed a bill of injunc tion restraining Col. Grant from taking possession of the road. Maj. Wellford has been interviewed" by a reporter of the At lanta Herald, yt ho called on him to'ascertain how his bill would affect the road, and whether, another law tuit was imminent. Maj. W. said : "Col. Grant will remain in possession, I presume : it is natural to suppose that Judge Hopkins will ustain his own ap pointment. My petition was not intended to interfere or conflict with Col. Grant in anyway. On the contrary lam glad that he was appointed, and think under tbe cir cumstances, he is the best man that could have been selected. I merely filed the peti tion to save myself from the U. S. Court of Savannah." In regard to the history of the road, Maj. Wellford said that the combined subscrip tions of Atlanta, Spartanburg and Charlotte, added to the subscription of the private stockholders in Georgia, did not suffice to build the road to Gainesville. That the road from Gainesville on to Charlotte, was built entirely from the proceeds of the bonds and advances made by the Security and Pennsylvania Railroad companies. That the Air-Line Railroad has not one dollar in alt that portion of the road. The Carolina Central looking1 for a Western Outlet. There seems to be well founded reports, from reliable sources, that the owners of the Carolina Central Railway are looking for an outlet for their line, via Asheville or Cranberry, or by both routes, to the great West. One of the plans proposed, we under stand, is to build a narrow guage road from Hickory to the Cranberry Iron Ores, via Lenoir, in Caldwell county, and thence to the line of the Virginia & Tennessee fc Cum berland Gap Railroad. Another plan is to join others in completing tne western North Carolina Railroad to Wolf Creek, either with the present guage or with a nar row guage ; and still another proposition is to run a narrow guage branch from Marion, in McDowell county, to Cranberry and a branch from Old Fort to Wolf Creek. Either of these routes'would effect for us a most desirable connection with the rich counties of the West and would aid most materially in developing the mineral re sources of that section of the State. , Mr. Edward Matthews, who is the princi P8 owner of th Carolina Central, is ready toM others W,ny feasible plan,, to cross the mountains, and we hope that the Legis and of the State conyicis.lnjtoaourBaZ Were Yea Ne'er a School Girl, . And did you never stand on. the corner after study hours and whisper and laugh for aij. hour or-two? To see a group of school girls standing on a corner, on an afternoon. discussing lessons andjk5ve scrapes, is enough to make a bachelor weep to think of his for lorn condition1.

The HolmaiiP. We again call the attention ot our citizens' -to the fact that . the Holman British- Oner a Troupe will appear at the Charlotte Opera House this evening in the popular opera, " Bohemian Girl.'' As we have observed before, we have every reason to induce the belief that this company is firsfrclass in all respects. Such authority in these matters as tbe New York JMpper, recommends it strongly, and the Clipper never awards the meed of praise where it is not due.

Our friend, Mr. Richard Moore, has entered the ever increasing army of Benedicts, and the fair charmer was Miss Alice B., daughter of our townsman, R. F. Davidson, Esq. The marriage ceremony took place last evening, at 8i o'clock, at the residence of the bride's father on East Church street. The parlor was filled with the hum of merry voices, when the surpliced rector en tered the room, and took a position about the middle. He was followed immediately by the soon-to-be bride and groom, he in the usual dres3 for such occasion and good look ing, she in her flowing dress and veil, bright and beautiful. The father and young lady friend of the bride, followed ; -;d then the minister ReKB. 8. rfr9iSortf clor of St. Peter's' Episcopal Cfiufcli'bf this city, read the beautiful and impressive marriage ser vice of that churcn,- while a holy calm- hangover- all present "I will," ' "I will," "I pronounce you marl- and wife," were said ' and then' the benediction.and the kisses and congratulations followed.

'- " ', COMMCSICATED. Gleanings by Rail. Me. Editoe: In a recent visit to Pine yille, which is, as your ' readsirs are aware, nine miles South of Charlotte, we heard but one expression of opinion, with reference-to the cotton crop'in'that vicinity. The farm ers have not made more than a half crop ; and the low price of cotton, makes it doubt ful if they will bet able to do much more thari pay up for 'their fertilizers -and ad vances for the past season. Pineville"'' ex pects to ship, the ' pr.B3.eni cotton year, over two thousand- bales - of -cotton. The two leading mercantile houses there are Messrs. Younts &Sou, and J.R. Kirkpatrick, & Co. - who are prepared to buy cotton, and do a large business this season, as their well filled stores, with a heaw and varied assort ment of goodsf attest. Messrs. Younts f 5; Son have just completed anew store adjoin ing their old business stand, which contains their heavy goods, consisting of all the plantation supplies- needed by the farmer; while their old store still continues to show their light and faftcy goods, "notion's, -ready- made' clothing, 'etc., etcr ' 'Hie handsome store of Messrs. J. R'. Kirkpatrick & Cn. has been newly refitted and repaired, and with its large and well selected assortment of goods, which the senior partner of the houo recently- pur chased iu Northern markets, presents an, attractive appearance. Mr. Kirkpatrick has. recently completed a neat, twrstory resi dence, 'whfch' he will soon occupy ;' besides this, some dozen more houses will soon, be buijtin this thrivingittle town. Returning to Charlotte, we next morning went by rail to Concord, and stopped at the American Hotel, recently' leased by J. - if?1 Blair, formerly of the Yarborough House,' lialeigh. His earnest efforts Jarei. to make h is guests comfortable and satisfied, by po lite and untiringttehion on his part. He gives them the "best tbe market affords," cooked most invitingly ; with his attentive waiters, clean and delightful beds, we cannot too hiclilv recommend his house to the ivclling public. Concord shipped the st season, or?r six th6usand bales of cot-i on ; it is rapidly improving, as is evinced by the number of stores, warehouses and esidences, now in process cf erection We very mucii admired the new and elegant Presbyterian Church, now nearly finished,, of wliichhe citizens may jupstl b;gjroad. ; We were fortunate in making the ac quaintancc of all the principal dealers, in the fleeej' staple, and found them uniformly polite and courteous. We were greeted very cordially by C. F. Harris, Esq., the able editor of the Concord Sun, and enjoyed a pleasant chat with him. Departing on the train at 9:15 A. M., .we arrived at Salisbury at 10:45 A. M., and put up at the National Hotel, which, since our last visit to this pop ular House, had changed, not only for the better, but had passed into the bands of a new proprietpK. WVT. .'Linton, Esq., who perfectly uiider$teui4iot only how to cater to the appetite of his guests, but to supply all their wants, and make them thoroughly comfortable. Salisbury is one of the oldest cities in. this State, having been built before the American revolution. Lord Cornwallis' naving maae it his headquarters at one time. There are here some thirty-five mer cahtile houses, who carry on an extensiue trade,; in corn and wheat, and shipped the past year, but three thousand bales of cot- cot. VrATOB. Uew Advertisements.
