DEATHS BY DROWNING.
We regret to state that on Sunday last
Messrs. Wm. Kirksey and Hainey
were drowned in the Catawba River, at
Rozzc-ll's Ferry, iu this county. We learn
from a gentleman who was present, that the
unfortunate men were engaged in fishing,
and lor-t their lives while crossing the river
in a small boat which dipped water and
sunk while they were conducting it across
the stream by means of a rope extending
from shore to shore. They had crossed
over once, and when a few steps from the
shore, on their return, the accident hap
pened. Instead of attempting to regain the
neare.-t shore, which they had just h it, they
unfortunately made an effort to reach the
shore for which they had started, and sunk
before aeeomplidiinr their purpose. Their
bodies were soon discovered, immediately
taken from the water, and every effort made
to resuscitate them, but without success.
Their spirits had left this world to try the
realities of a future existence.

FIRE.
We regret to learn that on Sunday night,
the MA instant, the corn-house and stables
of Mr. I. C. Youngblood, of this county,
wen- consumed by fire, with about one
thousand bushels of corn and two horses,
thus involving Mr. Y., a worthy citizen, in
a severe loss. The fire was discovered a
bout 2 o'clock in the night." after the roof
of the buildings had fallen in. and when it
was too late to arrest the flames or to save
any part of the property. It is supposed
the fire was Communicated by some vile in
cendiary, as it was a very calm night, and
there had been no fir.- on the plantation
that dav. All good citizens must desire
that the perpetrator of such an offence should
be det.-cted, and justice awarded him.
PERHAPS A FIRE.
tu Sunday night last, about 10 o'clock,
many of our citizens observed a light in the
country south-west of this place, having
the appearance of a dwelling bouse or barn
on five. Having hear.! no report of a
ral.-uuity of tin- hind, yesterday, we hope
Appearances were delusive.

THE MONUMENT QUESTION.
A writer in last week's Whig, over the
signature of "Robert Allison," says he has
read with "chagrin" a proposition in the
"Democrat," copied from a communication
in the lialeigh Standard, for the erection of
a Monument, at ttakngh, iu honor of the
signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration;
and Mr. Allison" devotes a whole column
ami n. ore of the Whig, in a labored effort
t create prejudice against the author of
the proposition and Ids endorsers."
If the writer means to insinuate that we
"endorsed" the proposition, by copying the
article from the Standard, iu favor of the
erection of a monument at Raleigh, he in
sinuates what is not true. We copied the
article, without any expression of opinion
oa the subject, merely to show what the
writer iu the Standard .-aid in relation to it.
Sou:-.- persons are green enough to believe
that Editors "cudorso" every thing they
.-eh-et for their columns audit may be,
"Robert Allison" is one of this number.
If so, we must be excused for assuring him
of his error. It would not do, ami for very
obvious reasons. For example: We might
copy the communication of "Robert Alli
son, t. show our readers what others
thought and said on the Monument question;
hut we should bo sorry to 'endorse' all the
nonsense he has v. ritteu on the subject. Ho
has, he mvs, been "chagrined" by reading
in the Democrat a proposition to erect a
monument "at II;:!. igh," in honor of the
Signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence ! Nov., we did not favor or
ev ii "endorse," the proposition, yet if we
had done so, we are unable to see any
cause fr "chagrin" ou the part of '-Robert
Allison" "r any other person. For one,
are free to say, that we should be ph ased
to see a monument erected at Raleigh, at
Charlotte, or at any other place, in honor
of tin patriots alluded to. We would not
be "chagrined" if fifty or a hundred monu
ments were erected at many different
points of the State and the Union, for such
a laudable purpose. On the contrary, we
should be pleased t see one erected on the
beautiful State-House Square at Kuleigh.
the capitol of North Carolina, whether one
h- erected or not at Charlotte. Let us also
have one at Washington, the capitol of the
Union, alongside that of Washington, which
has iet been built at Mouut Vernon. We
care not wh re or how many monuments
may 1..- erected in honor of tin- "Mecklen
burg Signers." Their deeds entitle them
to all such mementos. We should not be
"chagrined" if "Bobert Allison" himself, in
his great zeal on the subject, should erect
one i:i "Kanicliatka ;" and we should be
particularly gratified to sec one erected at
the appropriate place of Raleigh, the
capit.d of the State. Who has ever been
"chagrined" at seeing a monument of
George Wudiinirton at the capitol of Vir
ginia, although he lived not there and his
peat deeds were performed elsewhere!
According to "Robert Allison's" arguments,
Washington's monuments should bo on his
battle fields, where he performed his crreat
dt cds. and not at the capitol of Ids State
or at the capitol of the V. States. What
a matter of "chagrin," it would be, for the
thousands of .-trangers from all parts of our
State and from every State of the Union,
who annualhjprisit lialeigh. t view there a
monument in honor of the Mecklenburg
Signers!!" Awfully chagrining!" Yet,
"Robert Allison" says: "I appeal to you.
'native Meeklenburgians,'' in this extreme.
"momentous exigency, and to those who
"have worshipped at the shrine of civil
"Libert v throughout our beloved Union,
"and call upon you tu most jirmhj and
"solemnly protest against any such ,hsernz
"tion as the proposition of a writer in the
"Raleigh Standard" ! !
Wonderful "appeal" ! What an extreme.
momentous exigency!" And what a "dese
cration" would it If, to erect a monument
at Raleigh iu honor of the Mecklenbur -Signers!!
Who does not feel "ohagrincd"
at the bare mention of such a "desecrating'
proposition !
If "Robert Allison" had been disposed to
tell "the whole truth," in his monumental
effort in the Whig, he should have informed
the readers of that paper that the "Demo
crat" also contained an article, copied from
the Wilmington Herald, in favor of a monu
ment in our own town of Charlotte; but, so
far as the readers of that Journal are con
cerned, they are left to infer that we gave
currency to the proposition for a monument
at Raleigh in disparagement of the claims
of our own town. We have now. however,
fully endorsed Raleigh, and "Robert Alli
son" is welcome to make the most of it.
A Colored Lawyer. Robert P. Morris,
a colored man, is a member of the bar in
T a r i i
jo-ion, aim a lew uays ago argueu a case

port Herald say :
1 J
"Morris is a dapper little fellow, of good
address, and of fair ability. He possesses
in full measure the power of imitation which
characterizes many of his race, and copies
admirably the smartness, pertness and ac
tivity of the leading members of the bar in
his examination of witnesses, as well as the
argument, whieh last was quite readily and
tluentlv delivered."
rir" At an election for Mayor, the other
day, in Burlington, Iowa, the entire; Black
Republican vote was cast for a negro barber
who resides there. The Gazette, of that
city, says that the negro is decidedly the
most respectable man among them, and as
they wouldn't vot" for anybody but a man
of their own party, their votes couldn't have
been more worthily bestowed.
Fatal Affray. On Sunday
mornim
in the Oglethorpe House, at Columbus,
Georgia, a quarrel arose between John
Chishohn, the young man who was recently
held to bail on a charge of purloining valua
ble letters from the post office, and John
Wood, barkeeper at the hotel. 'Wood is
said to have thrown Chishohn on the floor,
and in this posture the latter drew a pistol
and shot him through the body. Mr. Wood,
has died of his injuries. Chishohn, the young
man who shot him, is in jail. The latter is
only Ki or 17 years of age, and has already
two heavy charges to answer for: taking: a
man's life and robbing the mails.
...
I . We learn that a negro woman, the
property of Maj. James E. Kerr, of this
town, was run over and killed by the cars,
as the train was coming from Goldsboro'
yesterday evening; she is supposed to have
been drunk. A basket lying between her
and the ears prevented the engineer from

Heavy Damages. At the Ulster, X. Y.,
Court last week, a suit for breach of
promise was tried between a Miss Jordon
and a Mr. Jenkins, both residents of
Gardener, in that county: The contract of
marriage and its breach were clearly shown,
and the jury gave the plaintiff 85.000
damages, lloth parties arc said to be highly
respectable, and the only cause assigned for
the failure of Jenkins to fulfil his ensaffO
inent was the opposition of his mother, lie
is a boy about ."ID years of age.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY is now present. l
a. for the farmers and all admirers of goad
horses, in this section of the country, to impiove
their Slock.
KIO-GRANDE is one of finest aud pmrest
blood. d hors. s in the world, as will he sc. n by
reference to the English and American reaorda if
bis p. digree. He is directly d.-sn nd. d from the
very pur. st and bi -t stock in England :uil Ame
rica, as the following pedigree will show :
KI KirRANDE is by Billy Harris, out f.f Lady
Morgan. Billy Harris was ay Monstew Tonson,

Las 3, bv imported Jnulper, out of tin- imported
Molly Pacotet,by imported Pacoi. t ; Molly Pac
oh t's dam by Imported Spaik.out ofOoeen Mab.
American Lclifi.se was by luroc; 'lii duin the
hunoos race saare Miller's Damsel, by impoit. d
Messenger, out of the Imported Pat ftaoa ooa'l

imported Diomede, out sf Mr. Mosby'S "extiaoi
dinary race aaare Amanda," by Col. Taylor's
famous Gray Dkiutcd, son of imported Medley.
It is deem, d annsc ssary to exteasi back any
farther the pedigree of lfio-t Jrande, although it
can be fully traced iu the English ii cord.i hack
to a very long period of time.
