Wherever in the United States the drama
is known.Katie Putnam's fame has extended. '
She is well known in all the; large cities, and
has played long and Successful engagements
in nearly, all of them. Her - popularity is
unbounded, and Charlotte should feel her
self honored in being visited by ao talented
an actress. We understand from our. ex
changes in the Southern cities that Miss
Putnam's support this season is unexception-
ably good,and everything conspires to induce
the belief that, to-morrow, Friday and Sat

An Outsider's Opinion of Charlotte.
Mr. John Duckett, one or the . editors Of
the Rockingham Conner,- was in Charlotte
ast week. He is a young man, but he car
ries a level head and knows a business place j
when he sees it- Here is what he says about
pur place : " The merchants of that city are
mostly young men, and their vigor ia appa-1
rent in their business. They are exceeding
ly sociable, enterprising and liberal. Many
goods may be bought cheaper there than in
Wilmington. Our friends in the city by the
sea must be on the lookout, for Charlotte is
in some respects even now ahead, and thougli
she has no sea transportation, yet she has a
brilliant future on account of the central sit
uation and great railroad facilities." -
The Accident on the Charlotte, Colum
bia & Augusta Railroad.
The item which we published yesterday
morning about an accident on the Charlotte,
Golumbia & Augusta Railroad, we picked
up about mid-night, on the streets, and it
contained errors. The accident occurred
on Monday night, instead of on Saturday
night last, and information of it came to
this city over the wires. Capt. King was
the conductor, instead of the engineer, as
we stated, and was injured in the manner
in which we recorded it. He is not dan
gerously hurt. A train hand was considera
bly mashed up, and several passengers were
bruised, more or less. A broken rail threw
the train, or a part of it, into a cattle guard.
Two cars were much damaged. The track
was cleared yesterday.
In Dead Earnest.
We had a call from Col. J. H. Miller, Sup
erintendent of Agencies for the Southern
Life Insurance Company, accompanied by
W. H. Parkin's, Esq., architect from Atlan
ta, Ga., who comes to Charlotte, for the pur
pose of drawing the plans and specifications
for the new building which is shortly to be
erected" by-thtr enterprising company, on
the East side of Tryon street, just South of
the Central Hotel.
At a meeting of the hoard of directors
yesterday evening the following resolution
was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That it is the sense of this board,
that the plan of the building in Columbia
(recently erected by the company) so
far as is applicable to the lot here, be adopt
ed, and that the architect. Mr. Parkins,
Shall make plans at once, and that the con
tracts be giyen oat as soon as practicable.
This resolution has the ring of men in
dead earnest, and we may say bespeaks the
early completion of thrwork, because fox
it -I? .
inese men to win, is w ao.

day or two. ago, to buy one of these fellows
his dinner, but," with the' remark that he
'wanted' to buy his own dinner," he got
laad because he couldn't get money, and
went off. A beggar was seen yesterday to
throw into the streets a handful of provis

walk off from it with a look of injured
dignity which would have done credit to a

Cotton Stealing. .... .
On ifonday night an attempt was made
at stealing cotton from the cotton platform,
but, fortunately, it was frustrated by the
prompt action of Mr. . James Moran, the
watchman of the Charlotte, Columbia,, fc
Augusta .Railroad Depot, and Mr. Oehler
Todd. As they were passing along the plat
form they detected some parties surrounding
a cotton bale, and industriously at work.
Making a quick movement upon them, Mr.
Moran seized and held One of them, a negro
named Albert Lord, ancfjiad him put in the
lock-up. Around, the bale, (which belong
ed to Messrs. Sanders & Blackwood, and
which the would-be thieves had cut open)
there were found seyen sacks, eleven of them
filled with cotton and ready to be
carried off. It was evidently the intention
of the parties to take the whole bale.
Lord was arraigned before the Mayor yes
terday morning. On the evidence of Mr.
Moran he was committed to jail, to await
trial at the next term of Court. The other
parties have not been arrested as yet.'
We do not remember a previous instance
where an attempt was made to steal cotton
from the platform, and it is well that this
one was nipped in tne nua.
