The officers of the Carolina Central Rail
road, to the number of about a doren, will
visit Charlotte to-morrow or Friday. We
understand that a number of our citizens
will give them a reception at the Central
Hotel.
Making Improvements. t
Mr. W. R. Cochrane is having all his bil
liard and pool tables cut down so as to be of
the new style. One of the pool tables will
perhaps be finished to-day. He will also
hang the walls of the billiard hall with pic
tures, and, when all this is done, he will
have the handsomest bar and billiard saloon
in the State, if it is not that now.
Freight Tariff of tne Carolina Central
Col- Fremont earnestly requests us to say
that the charge which has been made, that
the freight tariff of the Carolina Central
Railroad, was arranged so as to discriminate
against Charlotte, is utterly unjust and
false, if e say this at Col. f remunts re
quest. Of course our columns are open to
the other side.
The Saddle Men.
The men Campbell and Bryant, who be
came involved in a difficulty about " a little
matter concerning a saddle," belonging to
Schiff Bros., and who left their team here" as
security, went to States ville Monday after
noon, and returned yesterday morning, with
a bond made out, and David Wallace. Esq.,
of Statesville, as bondsman. The bond was
accepted, the horse, mule and wagon were
turned over to the men, and they went on
their own way.
The Coming Masonic Banquet.
A committee appointed for the purpose,
has been engaged for some days past, iu
calling upon the members of tne masonic
fraternity, for subscriptions for the banquet
which will be given in the new Masonic
Temple, on Monday, 28th inst the day af
ter St. John's Day. We are requested to say
that if any of the Masons have been over
looked in these calls, they can leave what
ever amount they are willing to subscribe,
with either Jas. H. Orr or W. M. Smith.
The Opera House This Evening.
One more word in behalf of Miss Ada
Gray, who appears this evening for the first
time before a Charlotte audience. She is an
actress of great power, beyond question, and
for their own sakes. we hope the people of
Charlotte will turn out in force. It is rare
that such an actress appears upon onr
boards. Of her acting in "Articled," the
Petersburg Index and Appeal of last Saturday
morning, in its local columns, says
"A very fine audience greeted Miss Ada
Gray on her first appearance in Petersburg
lMt evening, and it is but just to say that
exneetatiops were . not. disappointed. Her
Axcellence as an actress of great power, as
heralded bv the press, was full sustained
fiha Iftdv of handsome nersonal Dbvsiaue.
of cultivated voice and bearing, and her act
ing displays caret til study, ana iuu apprecia-
. . i a..i a AKU
Hon or tne cnaracters sne iaa.es. as vur.
in " Article 47." the elements of love and
lumnn were admirably revealed, and her
aimnlation of madness was without defect.
Beyond all question, her merits as an artist
deserve high praise and this was accorded
by the hearty applause so frequently mani
fested by tne auaience, in many respwia.
Miss Gray is well supported, and the per
formance last night was a success.

CaptR Pi Waring. -
We find in the Albermarlo Time, the fol
lowing sketch: of Capt. R.: P. Waring, the
hie and honored Senator from Mecklen-
buie. The sketch was "contributed, we pre
sume, by Mr. P. H. Winston, , Jr., who is
Reading Clerk of the State Senate, and one
of the editors of the Timet. It is a deserved
tribute to one who, through much persecu-
boh, has stood firmly by the people and his
own principles. It aflOrds us pleasure to re
produce the sketch, which is as follows:
ThkRenator from Jfecklenbnnr is the

may, for he is the Chevalier Bayard of the
Democratic party. - Senator Waring has
been twice married. - His first wife was the
daughter of the Hon. Louis D. Henry, his
second, the rnly daughter of the Rev. N.
A.ldncb,or Charlotte. He is the father of
four children with one of whom, Thorna?,

imperfect sketch roomed when a school boy
at Oxford. The Senator is an Episcopalian."
The Charlotte Hotel Changes Proprie-
tors.
The Charlotte Hotel on yesterday went
under a new management, the former pro
prietor, W. M. Matthews, Esq., having, after
dinner, resigned the proprietorship to Messrs.
J. Hollis & Son, formerly of Spartanburg, S.
C. Mr, Matthews gave an elegant parting
dinner to his guests and a number of his
friends, and then allowed his mantle to fall
upon the shoulders of the Messrs, Hollis.
On several accounts, the - retirement of Mr.
Matthews from the proprietorship of the
Charlotte, is to be regretted. He has kept
an excellent house, and one which has been
a very home to his guests. He is the prince
of good fellows, and is popular as a man
not less than as a botelist. We hope his
successors will be his equals in everything
that goes to make up a good hotel keeper.
The new proprietors will be in full charge
by to-day. They come here with a consider
able experience in the business; and we
bespeak for them whatever patronage they
may be found to' deserve. Mr. Davidson,
the present gentlemanly clerk of the hotel,
will remain in that position, and will be
glad to see his friends.
Mack, we bid thee good-bye and God
speed ! May you liff long uod brosber," is
the wish of one who has " beat " you out of
many a meal.
Catawba River Council Patrons of
Husbandry.
There was quite a full meeting
yesterday of this body at the hall of
the Charlotte Grange. Captain
James F Johnston having been ap
pointed by the Executive Committee,
cotton shipping agent of the Georgia
Direct Trade Union since the last
meeting, resigned the office to be filled
by the council. A resolution was
therefore submitted approving the
choice of the Executive Committee,
and continuing Captain Johnston as
shipping agent. This was unanimous
ly adoDted. Several hundred bales
have already been shipped through
ml a
this channel, the owners receiving
three-fourth of the value of the cotton
advanced, upon winch interest is
charged at the rate of five per cent per
annum. The subjects of establishing
a storage warenouse, ana a iactory
. i
for the manufacture of wagons, plows,
&c. was also discussed, but we have
w
not learned what plan was decided
upon.

THROUGH TO WILMINGTON I
THE COMPLETION OF THE CAROLINA
CENTRAL RAILWAY !
TRAINS COME THROUGH, AT LA8T,
.FROM WILMINGTON TO CHAR
LOTTE ! r
It is finished at last 1 After all the watch
ing and waiting and hopes and fears, Char
lotte and-Wilmington are -at last -in direet
communication by rail,: and the distance
from here o the City of the Sea seems now
as almost nothing whereas, a few weeks ago
we telt that it waf a grealrjourney frcm one
to the other, as indeed it was. ..
The work which' was commence before
the War, was finished yesterday ! At 3:20 in-
the afternoon, the last spike to be driven ere
the work was completed, was driven in the
trestle over McAlpine's Creek, and soon
thereafter trains passed over. A short time
after 5 o'clock four engines arrived at the
company's depot in Charlotte ; they came.
one immediately after the other ; first, the
"Cape Fear," second, "Silas N. Martin."
third, "W. Ames," and fourth, "Charlotte "
The last is a new engine, this being her very
first trip. On this engine came iCoI. S. L
Fremont, the indefatigable Superintendent,
who although. President of the Wilmington
Fair, which is already going on left that to
come up on the road and use his might to
hasten its completion.
The arrival of the trains was heralded by
such a shrieking of whistle as even the
most remorseless engineer on the Air Line
perhaps never conceived of, as if the engines
themselves were glad that the great work
had been completed, and the piedmont and
tidewater sections had clasped hands at last.
oyer an unDrosen band of iron, it was a
proud moment to every friend of the road;
but to none so much as to Col. Freemont,
Capt. Johnson and Col. Ames, to whose al
most unparalleled exertions, the final com
pletion of the work is chiefly due.
It had been advertised that a through train
would leave for Wilmington at 4 o'clock P
M., and when the trains arrived, quite
number of persons were assembled at the
depot, ready to get aboard for Wilmington
No unnecessary delay was had, apd about
6:30. a train, with about four car loads of
persons, steamed off for Wilmington. Many
of these are citizens of Charlotte, but quite a
number are from neighboring counties,
from Iredell, Cleayeland, Lincoln, Gaston,
and perhaps others. This train will reach
Wilmington this morniug at 7 o'clock
should no untoward circumstance occur,
which is not in the least apprehended.
The track, we are informed, though very
rough, as is to be expected, is perfectly safe ,
and as only 10 or 12 miles an hoar will be
run over the first 20 or 30 miles, no fears are
entertained of accident.
We are authorized and requested by Col.
Fremont, to say that henceforth trains will
be run regularly over the road. This morn
ing and eyery other morning this week and
hereafter a train will leave Charlotte at 7 A.
M. for Wilmington, and arrive there at 6
P.M.
By the opening of this new thoroughfare
the producer and consumer are placed door
to door, and the result will be, we sincerely
hope, the benefit of Wilmington, Charlotte,
and every town, village and county, on the
line of the road. We shall.at a future time,
have something more to say of the Carolina
Central Railway Company and its officers. -
