Drayton's oflice The police authorities have captured in the last few months, more thieves in proportion to the stealing than at any time within the last several years. The annual camp meeting at Biddle town is onlya few 'weeks off. The col ored people have, already begun to raise money to bear the expenses. The dams of Phifer's and McCoy's ponds were both broken by the freshet, day before yesterday afternoon, and as a consequence the jbottoms along the two creeks were flooded. The copy for the premium list for tlie next fair of the Carolina Fair Associa tion, has been placed in the hands of the printer and the premium list will be issued as soon as . the matter can be got into type. , ' i i r The Italian string band of this place having left Glen Alpine Springs, where they have been playing during the sum mer, the proprietors haye engaged the Italian band of Wilmington, which will go up shortly." ' - ' Paul II. Ilayne, the poet, who was registered: at the'. Central Hotel night before last, left yesterday for the North. His health is not good and he will visit some of the resorts ill that lJit1tuW in the hope f.iinproving it J t '-. A There was considerable stir in the oil market yesterday owing to a fall of the fluid, (kerosene) from 13 to 11 cents per gallon. There is no telling whether or not the fall is temporary, but the im pression is that it will not last. . The Memphis express office has been closed and Mr. George H. King, man ager of the oflice in this city has receiv ed instructions to receive no freight or money for that office except such as .may be consigned to the Howard Asso ciation which will be gotten through if possible. Heaviest Rainfall. The rain that fell day before yester-. day, 4.24 inches, is by far the heaviest rainfall in Charlotte since the signal station wasiocated here. And further than this : a comparison with the month ly rairifalls since October shows it to be hist about as larse as the average falls- for the month. Those who -keep weather statistics would dp well . o make a note of this. - " The Freshets. Several bridges on the smaller streams; in the county were washed away day? before Yesterday afternoon - and night I before last and the crops along the! banks of many others have been cover-i ed by the high water, but the damage! as thus far reported is nothing lite so great as was anticipated. It appears; that the rains were not so heavy elsej where as here. Altogether the country; is to be congratulated upon getting offj so lightly. . ; u il i .; ;m v. i Breaking JJjf Illicit DlstllUar. I CoL W.; H. Chapman, revenue agent for this district, was in the city yester day. Jn the course of conversation with Jhim relative to "moonshining" in the district, he said that he had just been figuring on the seiznres in the district for the fiscal year ending June 30th, and found that they footed up as follows: I Number of illicit distilleries seized, 05; number 4of stills, 18a; extra caps and worms, 22 ; beer tubs 4,387 ; num ber of gallons of beer, 354,450; gallons fof singungs, 4,616 ; number of gallons of jwhiskey, 2,793; gallons of pomace, 2, pOO; tfcishels of meal and malt, 456; pumber of wagons seized and -sold, 13 ; Iiorses and mules seized and sold, 22; dumber of pounds of tobacco, 18,393 all of which has been sola, the pro ceeds going to the government. 1 In the course of the conversation Col. Chapman remarked that there were few districts in the United States that afforded such opportunities for distill ing, or such inducements to persons to become "moonshiners," or illicit distil lers. The whole western part of the district, more especially, was supplied with fruit, corn and plenty of water easily utilized all that is uecessary to make the whiskey except the will and the still. He thinks that there is vet considerable illicit distillery going on, but states that the facilities now afford ed for discovery are breaking it up, these being better than at any time in the history of this business in this part The Alligator at Ijarge. : The most alarming result or tne re-r cent freshet was. that by the breaking; of the dam of Phifer's mill pond, near the city, the alligator ot our, ana is supposed to ' be ravaging the bottoms! lt stopped under the railroad culvert" Jf;ng enough to roar, the sound ; resem "ng distant thunder, then1 JjassebT on down, stopping at different places and ueairoymg a great quantity of lowland corn, ita owner will give ' for the alligator s return, and bathers" irf the wr-ii &lve,10 reward to anybody oot it on the spot.

" 'M-i Of the recent session of the Charlotte District Conference, in Concord, the proceedings o&whkh have Akeadj been PHiuea la pnuer.A poi writes as follows: "Eighty-eight representative men of the churches, elected by their respective quarterly conferences, including pastors in cnarge ana ioqai preachers (who are ex-ofticio membere of the districtcon ference compose this conference com plete, (i , ,. . r. "There were some absentees on this occasion, though the representation was good, no pastoral charge being without a representative. Every interest of the church was carefully "looked into" by the faithful, vigilant and excellent pre siding officer, Rev. W. H. Bobbitt,D.D who dispatches business with remarka ble ease, infusing into all the .exercises life -an ) spirituality. lUi it dig nified, patient, kind and impartial, but very firm and decided ; a fine church lawyer, commanding and receiving the respect and admiration of the entire body. '' ' ' "It has been my fortune to attend several district conferences, and I take pleasure in saying I have never wit nessed more harmonious, pleasant and apparently profitable proceedings than those of this session ; not a single jar, jostle or even dispute throughout ; all was Concord and harmony verily." . THAT ROAD LAW. of the County Cpnunisttioners i Is M a r" ' i Itor of The Observer: Are Citizen of Charlotte Liable to I he Road Tax 7 A. "Word About the De cision of th 1 To the Edlfor With all the proper diffidence and re spect, I rise to offer a suggestion and to seek some further enlightenment in the matter of the new "road law" and the construction placed upon the same by our worthy boafd of county coinmisV sioners, in so far, at. least, asf it may re late to the city of Charlotte, as a part of the county of Mecklenburg. As I understand the case, it is admit ted by the board that the Legislature, in enacting.the, law referred to did not intend to include the city as part of the territory subject to its operation, the authors of the bill assuming that1 the citizens of Charlotte would be. protect ed from its operation by charter ex emption. But as the law stands, there being in it no express exemption v in favor of our citizens, the board decide, that it must be executed according to the letter, and as a consequence the citizens of Charlotte must work the roads,-each man, within the prescribed ages, for four days in the year or pay the $4 qommptation- . k Now fir asi this conarfictSonl of the1 law, if adhered to, must bear hardly up on our people of the city, whf are al ready taxed for road (street) purposes, and as it was not intended thus to bur den them, let us seek for a possible solu tion of the difficulty, and enquire if j.i i t : i i .i Opelika, seyeraL letters from, the noted f r A i T resorf Western.

Again, section 22 of thecharter of the city provides "that it sJudl be the duty of the said board of aldermen to keep the streets of said city in good order'. "and they shall have power to lay out and open any new street or widen those already made and make improvemehtsasthe public convenience mav require," &c. Thus we seeJJiat, both by the general law of the 6tMe, apd thej cl after of the city, the duty and power of working the streets of Charlotte devolves upon its mayor and board of aldermen. In bbth sections it 'is enacted that they, (the board of aldermen) shall execute this power, and the citizens are furthermore exempted from, the duty of working the roads beyond tne city limits, as it would-be a manifest absurdity, to say nothing of its impracticability, for two separate' authorities to perform such duties as are herein referred to, and as the General ' Assembly did riot intend to confer this power upon tne county authorities, suppose we excuse our worthy commissioners from any furth er consideration of the la Win its Unin tentional relation to our Charlotte citi zens?
