IW Charlotte enjoyed a delicious
shower Sunday afternoon, and all na
ture felt glad. It fell so fast, however,
that much of it ran off without giving
the parched earth such a soaking as its
condition deserved.
It is not thought that the crops
are injured by the recent dry weather.
On the contrary, the absence of wet
spells, so common with us at this sea
son, has given the farmers an opportu
nity to kill the grass as it came up.

Tne Amatcun Lata N igliC
The amateurs played the "pirates" to
another good house last night. The
exhaustive criticism given them upon
their first appearance leaves little to be
said except that every one did better
than upon the former occasion. A lib

ence was bestowed upon Frederic, Mr.
Willis Pecrram : the Pirate Kine. Mr.
Ed. Martin ; the Major General, Mr.
Arthur Bacon ; tne sergeant or .roiice,
Mr. P. S. McLauchlin ; Ruth, Mrs. Geo.
Bason, and Mabel, Miss Mamie Lyon.
The latter received an enthusiasticn
core. The ladies and gentlemen com
posing the cast and management have
reason to feel flattered with the un
bounded marks of favor with which
they have met, and will take with them
the hearty endorsement of Charlotte
whenever they shall choose to appear
in another, or other cities.

Whereas, Our ancestors, moved by
the most sacred love of liberty, and a
deep-seated tyranny, did assemble in
the town of Charlotte, on the 20th day
of May, 1775. and with a boldness which
challenged the admiration of the world,
openly threw off and renounced their
allegiance to the crown and govern-'
ment of Great Britain, and declared
themselves separate and independent ;
and whereas, they were the first of the
American people to take so courageous
and important step, and made it good
with their lives, their fortunes and
their most sacred honor; and whereas,
we deem the establishment and pre
servation of our liberties as the most
important of all earthly concerns to us
and to our children, and desire to keep
alive the sacred flame which they kin
dled on this continent, as well as to
honor the memory of such brave, pa
triotic and virtuous men ; therefore,
