Ours Iheme is " mud " this morning, nd while the Charlotteans are floundering in the pools in the streets, it is some consola tion to know that country people are not much better off.

A Negro as Documentary Evidence. In a sort of unmentionable " suit, tried day before yesterday, CoL B.O. Jones took the rather novel position, that he had a right to introduce a negro man as documentary ev idence in his own defence, viz : Ask him no questions, but merely present him to the jury, and let them read what the Almighty had written in indelliblenk on , Jjis , tace The Judge sustained Col. Jones' position, and the negro w&a-read to the jury. . ... The Cotton Vield MinstreJs.- i In another column appears an advertise ment of this Company. They were to have been on the Charlotte boards last Fall, , but failed, owing, as we have been informed, to the sickness of some of the troupe, They are here now to redeeni the pledges made to our people. at that time. As a minstrel troupe, they are said to be very good. Iloune Breaker at ; Work. , ; Night before last, a daring thief made an attempt to break into the house of Mre. S. V- Young- - Mrs. . Tate. who is ; boarding in the house, heard some noise at the parlor window, and gave the alarm. Capt. A. G. Brenizer reached the parlor in. time to dis cover" a man making a hasty retreat. Upon examination, it was found that the robber had cut out a pane of glass, evidently with a diamond.. This thing is getting to be in tolerable, and it shows conclusively that we have some of the highest order of thieves among us, trained burglars, and as they must be new comers. It seems to us the p -lice ought td be able to spot them- . : . : -4- The Wiud Yesterday., ; ... Dame Nature, it seems, don't do anything these days by halves. We have had rain until we have had some fears about a young flood, somewhat after the manner of the ' original and only genuine" one we read about in the good book. Yesterday r even ing, the sun broke through the clouds, and in a short time, the wind was blowing as if it wanted to spite somebody. . Hats flow ev ery direction up, about the public square, and peal fter peP of Jaughter might be heard, as pome new victim went into the deep mud after his ten dollar beaver. i. : f-?'r. ,. i1:-'.:. .

Thbriff biirwhich; wa3recently passed by Congress, contains a clause which is im perative in the matter of affixing stamps to bank checksJI None ofjhe city banks will pay checks within the pastfew davs, unless they are so stamped... This govern ment ' the best the world ever saw "--had to have more revenue, and Congress, adopted this plan as the least objectionable. If some careful hand could run the " merchine'' awhile, we think we could soon get along without this annoying feature of the , tariff bin.

Besides being "all this," it' frequently happens that its cbet and manufacture, adds wealth, and its consequent, blessings to the communityiwhere it is prepared) Sj tlcOst of the materials used or the hands employed in its manufacture. ., '; r'rJ?It''f It is not our ' purpose to write a- diatribe against any particlar class of jaiedicinegnor do we propose to indite eulogy up yn merits of any particular remedy, but our object is to call attention to: the fact that there v are three establishments in 'Charlotte, which are engage in the business of making au-i sell ing proprietary medicines. : Messrs. Wilson fc; j Black Druggists, k are making o "Stomach Bitters, of which -they have sold ; 1500 dozen this season: They also prepare a Diarrhoea medicine .which is said to be a capital remedy, a cough mixture, and a Dental Fluid, of which-they sell large quantities. No', matter how . persistently anything may be advertised.it ,mu$t .have some real merit to stands well i a, public opinion, and without endorsing the medi cinal qualities of any of the foregoing, we do not hesitate to say that all thing else being equal, these gentlemen deserve tile pat ronage of thecoramuniry.aaftheir'Sijs a'hbme enterprise, which cnim'end ilftQ (thek favor of every man, who has the welfare and prosperity of the community at heart. : Their trade in these .medicines alone wijij amount toa sum iu the,-neighborhood , of twenty thousand dollars, every dollar of thet profit of which will be spent in . our' teldsfe X''1 i ..Mr. B. Koopman, of .Uie firm of Koop mand & Rotchschild, also manufactures what is said to be;a vahiable; proprietary medicine, from a receipt, which, is said to have been in his family several , hundred years. As we are not speaking of the med icinal merits of. any of these we' of course do not endorse them,, and refer to them only as a matter of business enterprise. - Messrs. Greene, . Lindkty &. Bent-ley, also make five different preparations, which tley used for several years in their private prac; tice, "and which were JBrsf "put np as prbprie- uiry iiifiuciut'a uunug kue buuimur oj .io. Since that time he business has rapidly and constantly iucreased-l. until- from three to: five hands are constantly employed in mix- ing the ingredients, . bottling, ( wrapping; boxing and sluppirig tlie medfcines. i - Since the 1st of October last, hey have shipped out about 60 dozen of tHeiFFit Cure which they put up for the cure of Epilepsy ; about 100 dozen of Comp. Ext. of Corydalis, " used as ah alferativeand blof-purlrierVand which-tliey ' claim has adcompBshed some very remarkable cures. ; about :140 dozen of Medicated, Honey, prepared for - eoughs ' colds, bronchitis, dc ; 75 dozen . Neuralgia Specific, made for. the cure of neuralgia; rheumatism and kindred painful diseases, and 35 . dozen of their JAue Cure; Inf all oyer 00 dozen since the: 1st of October,, J So much for our proprietary medicine venders. We suppose the annual amount of business done by ' hese men Mlt'hotfHlJ' mucbe low forty thousand, dollars, for , these medi cines, and we allude to them only in a busi ness point of view, The .CenieunlaL Movement. - "Now that the celebration of the one !iun-y dredth anniversary 6f the Meckleoburg'Dec laration of IrideOdence'fs a "certainty; we. would.

This will giye us a fund. of t say ten thousand dollarswith which we can erect a very creditable monument.. , s u;s This monument ought tdbe.erectedin the very cetitre of the publicrsquafe3h fact on the very spot where the 'declaration was pn claimed.-- It should be a marble shaft, say one' hundred feet bigh placed ijpod a fgran- tte foundation"', and thesides'ciuld "de em bellished by the introd action vof brass or iron plates, on which t juight b inscribed the names -of -the signers of ibe declaration, a hornets' nest,:oe such other device as may be decided on.
