A Spciioo Master Hurt at a Negro

A very serious fracas occurred at a
negro frolic, about six miles from the
city, on the Atlantic, Tennessee and
Ohio railroad, night before last, re
sulting in the dangerous wounding of
a white man named G. W. Hood.
who is keeper of the railroad sectinn
house. Hood appeared at the scene
of the frolic, and the inevitable row
commencing, he was told to make
himself scarce and to get away from
that locality at once. Hood did not
obey the summons, and force was re
sorted to to move him. One of the
darkies named John Henderson hit
Hood on the head with a rock. This
not only had" the desired effect of
moving Hood from the frolic, but
may end in moving him to the great
hereafter, as he is reported in a criti

A Sad Death.
Yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock a
sad death occurred on Church street.
Mr. Will W. Fetzer, a youns: man who
moved to Charlotte from Concord
with his mother and her ftimily about
two weeks ago, died vesterday in the
new home, but surrounded by faces
that were dear and familiar to his
eyes. He had been in delicate health
for 6ome time, but it was only after
his arrival in Charlotte that any
alarm was felt about his condition.
He had ben suffering with con
sumption, but last Friday even
ing was seized with an attack
of congestion of the lungs, that
terminated fatally. The deceased
was only 22 years or age. This writer
has known him from his early youth.
and has ev.r admired him as a model
bo, whose hands knew no wrong
doing, and whose heart was pure and
unJefiled His life, though short.
wa a bright and beautiful one, and
his sleep is the sleep of the blessed.
The remains will be taken to Con
cord on the 8 o'clock tram to night,
and the funeral services will be held
in the Presbyterian church at that
place Monday morning, after which
the body will be interred in the old
Presbyterian grave yard.
Ad Uniiickr Trip to the City.
A citizen of Cabarrus arrived in
the city yesterday, and in rather a
bewildered state of mind told the re
porter of a couple of misfortunes that
naa overianen mm on me roaa. ne
was bringing a cow to Charlotte to
sell for b ef and was riding a mule,
driving the cow along the road in
front of him. He allowed the cow
and mule both to drink freely at
every nranch, and when coming up
a hill about six miles from the city,
the cow suddenly dropped to the
ground, turned over on her back and
giving a few convulsive kicks, ex-
Eired. A colored man who Tame up,
elped him to drag the carcass aside
and mounting his mule, he shed a
tear to the memory of the departed
kine and continued on his way to
Charlotte. He had not proceeded
more than two miles, until his mule
collapsed as the cow had done, except
that it didn't die. After a time, ne
got the mule on its feet and led it to
a neighbor's barn, where he left it
and came on to the city on foot. The
mule appeared to be well when he
left, but he was afraid to ride it. He
thinks that his mule and cow were
poisoned. Both were fed from the
same box that morning and his opin
ion is that poison of some sort found
its way into their feed either by ac
cident or through the agency of some
evil hearted enemy.

"Virginia is a great State. She is a
state ot magmucent possmimaes; ana
when we consider her natural advan
tages, with a climate salubrious and
hospitiable, with her navigable
streams and rivers, with her rich
meadows and fertile valleys, with
her hills and mountains teeming with
ores and metals, and when we re
member, too, that from her- borders
Presidents, great orators, and states
men have gone forth to battle for her
honor and prosperity, we cannot but
feel justly proud. A new era of pros?
penty is dawning in v lrginia, and
uer iuture is a smmng picture CO DO
hold. A protective tariff has alreadv
bigun to set in motion the forces of
Virginia's power and wealth, and her
many and diversified natural advan
tages, which are so inviting are al
ready attracting the eye of northern
capitalists to her as a rit dwelling-
place ror hapyiness and prosperity.
The political cyclone which .began
in Ohio in October moved eastward,
and reached the border lands of Vir
ginia on the 6th of November,, and on
trial day her destinies' 'changed places
with a rapidity of a dream. ' Demo
cratic rule has come to bring happi
ness and contentment to her people
and place her on the road to perma
nent advancement. The Democratic
party has come to encourage foreign
capital and skill to aid us in develop
ing her vast resources, and to ad
vocate a policy that will place
Virginia abreast with New England
in wealth and prosperity. It has come
to make the Virginia of the future a
newjyirginia,in which immigrants of
every class, of every clime and sec
tion, whether they be from the fro
zen regions of the North, or from the
plains of the "tlreat West." or from
the sunny skies of the South can
dwell together in peace and harmony,
enjoying their every right of life and
liberty. It has come to secure to its
people their political and civil liber
ties, whose purity will scatter the
darkness of sectionalism from the
face of our common country with all
of its "malign influences." It has
come to advocate a free educational
system that will enter every city and
hamlet, every corner and nook,
throughout her length and breath.
it nas come to traverse her soil wrth
a network of railways, telegraphs,
and canals ; to dot the shores of her
streams and rivers with thriving
towns and blooming cities; and to
grace her navigable waters with ships,
boats, and crafts, all bearing to the
marts and markets of the world the
fruits of her industries. We will
then have filed in with the general
progress of the nineteenth century.
Our valleys and hills will resound
with the humming melody of busy
machinery. Prosperity will shed its
rays within our borders, and every
breeze that passes over us will be la
den with the sweet perfume of con
tentment and activity. J. W. ,S.
A Blood v War .Looming Up.
rie Herald.
Another and more uncomfortable
solution of the gn at "sunset mys
tery" is given by a Persian astrologer
according to Nature, who predicts
that the blood red appearace of the
sky is a forewarning of a war such as
the world has never yet beheld.
There is to be blood shed of an unex
ampled scale in all quarters of the
globe. The astrologer's prediction
will not cause much uneasiness, for
the present at least. Nobody will
take any stock in it so long as the
signs of blood are connected only
witn tne sunset, and there is no
blood to be seen on the moon.
