M. S, who sends us an account of the killing of Abernethy by Blalock, but we had al ready received the facts through an other source. Ef"Mr. Geo. E. Pitcher is prosecuting work on the mine he has opened near the Rudisill with vigor and, it is learn ed with pleasure, success. His shaft is about 80 feet deep now. C3g Judge Ashe yesterday in Mon roe, on a hearing on writ of Habeas cor pus admitted S. M.

This is the first of the season. . W. W. Jenkins, P. M. Redmond's Sentence The Greenville News gives a some what different statement of the sen tence of Bedmond than the rumor which reached the city day before yes terday. The News says the sentence of the court was: "For the 'Gary raid,' three years im prisonment, and a fine of 8500, For the 'Barton raid' the same. For each of the eight Bevenue cases, six months imprisonment Bedmond's countenance never chang ed, except that it became a little more grave. 'Is that as you expected, Major?' a representative of the Daily News asked him. It's way yonder more than I expect ed,' was the reply ; I never expected mor'n three years.' Can you pay any of the fines? 'No,, with a shake of the head. These fines will give him a month ad ditional imprisonment each, after which he can be released from them by swearing to his insolvency. The total term of imprisonment in his sentence is ten years, which by good conduct can be reduced to nine. There will be a strong movement to obtain a pardon, and Bedmond is very confident of ob taining it, or a commutation to two or three years imprisonment. Capt. KirkUsusd's) Condition. It is learned with much regret that Capt. S. S. Kirkland, who some time ago had his leg; broken while prospecting for the survey tt the Spartanburg and Rutherford: Railroad, is threatened withpysemia from the "wounds caused by the fractured pieces of bone enter ing the flesh of .the leg. Capt. Kirk land is in Lincolnton. The Cutting- Scrape. At the mayor's court yesterday mor ning Joseph Prim watf fined 32.50 and costs for an affray with Chas. Moss. The latter was bound over for his ap pearance at court in the sum of $25 for using a knife on Prim, although he claims, and it is said Prim now be lieves, that Moss did not cut him. Prim is, it is learned with pleasure, not at all seriously hurt. The Methodist Library Association. The third weekly meeting of the Tryon Street Methodist Episcopal church Literary Association took place last night in the basement of that church. Several new -members were admitted and a proposition to fit up a library in the basement of the church was favorably discussed. The regular exercises included the reading of selec tions from Hiawatha, by Miss Maggie Mayer; an essay by Miss Lizzie Gray, on the poetry of William Cullen Bryant, and one from Mr. Benjamin, on music AU three were well rendered. Personal. Mr. F. H, Busbee, of, Baleigh, was in the city yesterday, Mr. Burgess Nicholls has returned from the North where he has been to lay in a stock of furniture for his es tablishment in this city., Capt A.D.,Cowles,Lof the. Iredell Blues, is down from Statesyilleto shake hands with hUv many friends in Charlotte. -Messrs, CoTiqgton and Adams, of the Monroe bar, arrived in the city yes terday, and will appear to-day in the Robt Jones homicide case. The Observer Trade Review. Observer reporters will to-day call on the businessmen of the city for facts for the annnal trade review wnicn the paper gives its patrons on the 1st of September, the close of the cotton year. General and detailed statements of business will be received with thanks and carefully prepared for publication. It is thought that this review serves not only to adrertlse thebusiness of the city, but by the .collation not alone of the encouraging incidents of oiir trade but aTso of those wherein ' bur failures are apparent gives a more intelligent jhrertton to the effortsof ' all to main tain a substantial' prosperity. .

Other first-rate companies, among them a "Hazel Kirke" troupe, will be here, although they have not yet made their dates. Mr. sanaers conuaenuy predicts a more successful season than we have ever had. TheAhernethy-inalock Homicide. The Catawba Mercury gives the fol lowing particulars of the Abernethy Blalock homicide a short account of which appeared in yesterday's Obser ver: Jt appears that Abernethy and Bla look were both under the influence of liquor. Their supply being exhausted, and Abernethy wishing to replenish, tried to hire Blalock's mule to ride af ter the desired article. Blalock's price for the use of the mule being more than Abernethy wished to pay, adls- Sute arose between them. Abernethy nally agreed to' pay the price, but Blalock, fearing his mule would be rid den too rapidly, refused to let him go. A by-stander then suggested that he , J -1 X.

To the Editor of The Observer : Ever since the year 1865, when the utter failure of the Southern States to establish their separate nationality and maintain their independence became a recognized and undisputed fact it has been the detire of the Southern people to raise enduring memorials to the brave men who fell in that vain at tempt To the women of the South this mournful pleasure became a special duty, and they have regarded it a proud Krivilege to honor the memory of the raves of the Lost Cause. We who lived in those stirring times and can recall the ardent enthusiasm of the early days of the war, when the regiments marched gaily away with bands and banners, and the stern reso lution of later days, when the conscript law and the call for senior reserves and junior reserves, all told their own sad story; who can remember with what unanimous ' eagerness we all rushed pell mell, running over each other, up to Treloar's Hall to hear old Mr.Tiddy, himself an eye-witness, tell the tale of Big Bethel, and thought the war was over; and who remember the solemn stillness, the fearful hush that fell up on the large congregation assembled in the Presbyterian church one bright summer Sunday morning, after the battle of Seven Pines, I think it was, when Dr. Kirkpatrick read this tele gram from the seat of war: "God has again blessed our arms. D. H. Hill," and then said "Let us unite in silent thanksgiving;" and those who remem ber these tenderly eloquent words from that "Noblest Boman of them all," Gen. Joe Johnston, to his wife just after the fight at Bennetts ville: "My old soldiers did nobly; lam safe and well; thank God for me." We who treasure upsuch recollections, need no monumental brass, no anniversaries to keep our he roes in mind, but we are passing away and would preserve for our children to kens and memorials of those men and those days. Every city, town and vil lage in the South has its Confederate cemetery ; many of them have a beau tiful and appropriate monument to those who sleep beneath its shadow. A Confederate monument has been talk ed of here almost as much as much as one of the old signers of the declara tion, and many are the plans that have been proposed for its design, and the ways ana means that have been dis cussed for its execution. But of all plans that have been thought of, what me morial can be more appropriate, more enduring, more constantly before the people than a large and handsome park. Such a park ought to be near enough to the town to be easily reached by pedes trians. It should be made as beautiful and attractive as taste can devise or art execute, with trees, with smooth turf and handsome walks and drives, with a plat of ground for military pa rades and another for games. It should nave a music stand, pavilions tor re freshments and pleasant resting places all about ; and should also have a gar den of ever-blooming flowers, and wa ter in the form of streams, fountains and lakes. Here the wearied laborer and tired shopkeeper might find rest, the factory operatives relief from the monotony of his daily work, the busy speculator repose for his ever active brain, the artist inspiration for his cre ations. The ladies would find a pleas ant place to come with their dainty little pony phaetons without danger of wrenching off the wheels or breaking the springs over holes and gulleys, and the many handsome and elegant equip ages of the city find room for their en joyment and display. The graceful by cycle riders would here have a good opportunity of indulging in their de lightful exercise without danger of "taking a header," and the children have an jg mple play-ground for their sports. The stream of water spanned here and there by picturesque bridges, and the lake would afford our young people a new and beautiful exercise in rowing, while in winter they would be alive with ringing steel and merry voices of innumerable skaters. Each particularly attractive spot the lake, the bridges, the little boys might hear the name of well-known hero. As for instance, under the noblest trees we might make a resting place and call it Jackson's Shade. The most elevated point would be Lee's Height and I think a handsome pavilion might be well named Beauregard. A piece of ground, possessing the ne cessary conditions of accessibility, va riety and available water, can be found at the west end of Trade street on the north side The entrance to the park, which ought to be highly ornate, bear ing an inscription to the memory of the Confederate dead of Mecklenburg coun ty, would be in sight of the Thion De pot that is to be built at the Trade street station of the Richmond & Dan uille Railroad, and also in full view of the windows and galleries of the new hotel that will eventually be erected on the knoll beyond the depot A plan of such a park has been carefully drawn, and was, I think, presented to the ladies at the last meeting of their monumen tal association. It is the work of Mrs. James Irwin, who all her life has been a student ana an interpreter oi ine beautiful. Besides this, large general park, it would be wise for our city fathers to to buy vacant squares here and there and beautify them and make them agreeable resorts for their respective neighborhoods. There is one just ready for their hands, in the first ward, where the academy now stands. I believe the town o Wns nearly the whole square al ready. Why hot, in this way utilize the neglected fair grounds; that is if all hope is abandoned of ever using those grounds again for their original pur pose. As to the money for these desir able improvements, the economists of this city are Surely wise enough to de vise some means by which the vast sums that are annually spent in impro per, injurious and wicked indigencies may be diverted into channels of legiti mate eniovment and unquestionable advantage. Large hearted, public spir ited capitalists would find such an out lay self-rewarding in many ways be sides the enhanced value of property, while the benefit to the residents of Charlotte would be simply incalculable. By the way, will the First Presbyte rians ever do anything more with their beautiful church property ? For a long while it lay open; Political speeches were made in its solemn shade, fairs and frolics held under the very win dows. At last a fence was built and walks laid out, walks that were muddy and sloppy in winter, 'and shoe-mouth deep in dust in summer, and are beoom ihff Inst now what they ought to have hfterl ten vears kcro good, firm .walks.' lators and all- the wiseacres of both town and country. It is true, wonders have been done, with this clay hill, whereon wagons mired right in the mblic streets, and the mud of Meck enburg was a potent argument in mak ing Gen. kherman give as the go-by, but much remains to be accomplished be fore the promenaders. and the bicyclers, the baby carriages and pony phaetons can conveniently reach the city parks and pleasure grounds. Sometimes when many and heavy tasks loom up before us, we waste time trying to decide what to do first May I suggest to the powers that be, that they can greatly accommodate a large number of the citizens of Charlotte, if they will make a good stone crossing on Church street between the court house corner and the southern gate of the First Presbyterian church yard, not the stepping stone abomination, if you please, which is on ly a little more endurable than bottom less mud, but a suitable crossing for a walk that is used so constantly. And pardon me if 1 also suggest that some improvement might be made in that most remarkable, nondescript pave ments in front of Elias & Cohen's and other business houses in that vicinity, and if the street commissioners will take a promenade down Tryon street they will find in front of Goode's Na tional Hotel, and Frankenthal's Inter national some rough places that might be made smooth to the great advantage and increased safety of the numbers who have to pass along there every day. Our people for the last six months have been so deeply absorbed in the com mendable endeavor to make, every body walk a straight line, that they have not given much time to preparing places for them to walk. When somebody breaks a leg and sues the town for $10,000, or whatever may be the value of a leg expressed in dollars and cents, then perhaps there will be a movement to mend our ways. And now suppose all these improve ments were realized (and who can say they are impossible?) would not Char lotte, although not possessing Wilming ton's water views, nor the mountain scenery that makes such a charm for Asheville. still be called "beautiful for situation?" Then as now, I hope to be able to sign myself her devoted Citoyenne. mmm MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH lm "mlSlSS'Vri Latterly they have built a manse on tne a a . i . niiu in ww ocdua wuwwajeM i Bl for selling mortgaged property. ;r , Neither of the-parties convicted of forgery bave yet been sentenced; i To-day Jhe Union, pounty homicide case against Bobt Jones, colored), 'comes up, a special venire Of fifty having been brdereaW'i ah rally creates envynvy as 1 tHves ' ' Dlace to- malice malice then ran about and crying, ura-WHW lira Vr?
