The physicians pronounced his recovery hopeless, as death is inevitable as soon as suppuration commences.-. The police immediately went in pursuit of Gar vin, and being captured he was put in jail, Both parties were drinking and the dispute seems to have been about a frivolous matter. Garvin put his pistol so close to Kisler that the powder burnt his vest and shirt. He fired a second time as he turned to run and the ball passed through the lappel of the coat of Mr Sullivan; a by-3tander.

Whiskey, an article much in vogue in Sumpter, and for which there seems to be a lively, steady and constantly increasing de mand from the surrounding Country, can be i purchased on better terms in Charlotte than in any other market in the United States. Our Senior will long recollect with unfeign ed pleasure, his visit to old Mecklenburg, j and his reception' among the Mecklenburgh ers. In this connection , we will invite special attention to the dillient preparation, which the citizens of Charlotte are making for their Centennial celebration of the Declara tion of Independence of British rule, by the good people of old Jecklenburg county, in M&y 1775, more than a year before the Phil adelphians announced to- mankind, that they would no longer submit to the domi nation of the Mother country, or permit their children to "raise the gate as . high as the skies, and let King George and his Army march through." They mean to have "a high old time," and hope to see everybody in Charlotte on the 19th, 10th and 21st of May, who can possibly raise enough o f the spbndulix, to pay their passage te and from the city, and their expenses during the cele bration. They expect to have splendid rac ing at the Carolina Park, in the suburbs of the city, on tne above named 'days, and we venture to predict that thousands of per sons, will attend the Mecklenburg Centen nial Celebration, Ex-Gov. Vance will deliv er an address on the occasion, which alone willrichly repay all -who go, for their ex penditure of time and money. , -4m ' -' THE CENTENNIAL . Virginia Tips Her Beaver in Honor of Old Mecklenburg. We clip the following from the last issue of our excellent cotemporary, the Peters burg Index & Appeal, which we publish without comment, as it speaks for itself: The Index Appeal, which two years ago made the original suggestion of a celebra tion of the Mecklenburg Declaration of In dependence, is gratified to see the degree of success that has attended Xhe more in that direction. The Legislature, with unwise and untimely economy, refused to make an appropriation of even $5,000 to meet the ex penses of the interesting occasion ; but the people of Charlotte nd of Mecklenburg have taken the matter in their own hands, and have set about preparing for the day in a hianner of suitable ceremony and display. A distinguished nauye of North Carolina, Hon. John Kerr, has been selected as the or ator of the centennial, and invitations have been addressed to a large number of promi nent gentlemen, in and out of the State, to be present on the occasion. The Charlotte Observer thinks that as the occasion is one of national meaning and moment, there should "be'rib partisan aspect" given to it, and that Wilson; Blaine; and Burnside, as well as Davis, Hunter and Andrew Johnson be invited to be present and participate- We are glad that our Carolina; brethren are showing the right kind of pride and spirit in .the celebration of a great event in the history of their State and in that of the coon try.

Wem fnllnws the orocramme which ; we have already published.. iThis will be a grand afliir, and one in which all Virginians, but especially those on the border feel a deep interest, and they should consider it a privilege to contribute to the commemoration of the kindling I of the first fire of liberty oa American soil, ; as wn m to nartidoate in the enjoyment of the occasion. I W Ti hen reauested 'to ' aid in this eood cause, and we invite all who are dis posed to contribute towards defraying the expenses of the Centennial Celebration to call at the Hwua office for that purpose.

THE CENTENNIAI, IS rowan. The Salisbury Watchman of the 1st con tains the following in reference to the cele oration : r - "The people of Charlotte exhibit a com mendable pride in the energy they are put ting forth to secure a grand and successful celebration, on the 20th of May in honor of the Centennial Anniversary of the Mecklen burg Declaration of Independence. "This is a matter in which all North Caro' linians should feel an interest. The event to be celebrated never fails to awaken their pride and make them love and honor North Carolina more It is therefore fit that the descendants of the" brafe and TiobKmen who rendered the Old North Slate immortal by their' glorious deeds,, should come to gether on the Centennial day to do honor to their mempry. Let them come from all parts of the State South and nation, for they are not confined to any county in particular although it is proper the duty should be performed in Mecklenburg. The success of the celebration is dependent on the interest North Carolinians feel and take in it, and it is to be hoped that material aid will be ren dered and liberal contributions made from all sections of the State and South in order that the celebration may be worthy of our people and the event they honor. Govern ment aid having been refused, the expenses will be defrayed by private contributions. This is as it should be, since every one may haye an opportunity to show his apprecia tion of the occasion by contributing to its success. "The aid of all citizens of the State is in voked, and ir there are any in Salisbury I who wish to contribute, and we doubt not there are, they may have an opportunity to do so by calling on Mr Theo F Kluttz who will receive and forward any sam that may be left him for the purpose." IX CUMBERLAND. The Fayetteville Gazette says . "We have received a letter from Thos W Dewey,, .Esq., Secretary of the Mecklenburg Centennial Association, asking the aid and co-operation of the citizens of this community, in the work of preparing for a fitting celebration of the Centennial Anniversary of North Carolina's Declaration of Independence. Mr. Dewey appeals to our people for assis tance ; and we respectfully suggest that our ydung ladies and gentlemen give two or three entertainments music and charades combined fixing a low price for admit tance, the proceeds to be forwarded to Char lotte in behalf of the Centennial.' "We know that the times are hard, but a small amount can be raised in this way, without inconvenience taany one, and the object is certainly such as to appeal to the pride of the people of Fayetteville, and es pecially the ladies thereof, who are always foremost in every good work. We would only remind our readers that if any action is to be taken upon our suggestion, it should be done immediately, as the time is but short to the 20th of May. "In this connection we will state that last week Lieui, J B Smith and Mr R S Williams, of the La, Fayette. Company, and, Capt W F Campbell and Mr Jas Robinson, of the In dependent Company, went to Raleigh, and received from the Quartermaster's Depart ment twenty tents ten for each' company, This splendid battalian, with the'La Fayette Cornet Band,' will attend the Centennial, so that we will be weli represented in a mill tary point of view." : - THE CENTENNIAL.

The burden of this will fall upon the peo ple of Mecklenburg, and every citizen must appreciate the importance of doing hii fall duty In the matter of contributions.

John A. Youno, Chairman. It was the decision of the Committee that the city of Charlotte be actively canvassed at once, to raise funds for the celebration. It was made the duty of S. P. Smith and J. W. Wadsworth, to canvass Ward No. 1. J. C. Burroughs and R. M. Miller, Sr., to canvass Ward No. 2. Gen.' J. a. Young and A. Macaulay. to can vass Ward No. 3. D. G. Maxwell and F. A.

The address Is unavoidably postponed, but will be published oh Tuesday morning. The crowded condition of our columns pre. vents our saying more than to assert that the Committee of Ways and Means .will, be gin on Monday to canvass the city, to raise the necessary funds to carry out the pro gramme, adopted lor the approaching Cen tennial Celebration. The , importance, of raising a sum sufficient to meet all reasona ble expectations is so great that we hopeand believe every eltlzen of Charlotte will do his duty. ,A full , repor$ of the proceedings ol this meeting was prepared for this paper, but It was found to be a physical lmpossibil. ty to get it ready in time. , ' . .
