W.M. J. YATES, Editor & Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, 1. C. Tnrxiay Morning, April 14, 1857. FOR CONGRESS, HOY. BlltTOV CRAIGE, OF ROWAN COUNTS'. HERE SHE GOES, THERE SHE GOES The female individual, to whom we al luded two weeks ago as having created some excitement down in South Carolina in consequence of heing suspected as a co operator with Ihe abolitionists, arrived in Charlotte on Thursday last, but failing to procure a place in which to lecture, she pursued her journey towards Lincolnton. We did not get a glimpse of her, but under .tand that she travels alone, in her own conveyance. Probably she heard of Thomp son : and as this is an eligible spot at which to take the train on the X. C.Jl. R., it may have occurred to her that it was far better to "push along, keep moving," than to have her horse and wagon put up at auction and the proceed appropriated towards defray ing her expense to that clime from vrh.'.-e borne bo many travelers return. Had the prolonged her ttay in our town, we feel confident that our young men are too gallant not to have given her a call and as sisted her in prosecuting her journey. It is stated that she excludes females and Ed itors from her lectures- "Walk in lemuions uud be squeezed." raLa.-t week tire weather was very Cold. On Tuesday morning ire hud ice half an inch thic k. Fruit lias been killed, the far mers say, and we may bid farewell to peach pies, A c.

We are pleased to learn that a revival has been progressing in this town, in the Baptist Church, under the pastoral care of Rev. Mr Jones, who is assisted by the Rev. Mr Bradford of Virginia. Severn! persons have manifested a desire to flee tho wcatb to come by giving heed to things that per tain to righteousness. We don't remember ever bearing of a ssane religions revivals at any one time a the present. In the Baptist Church at Raleigh, it is stated, a revival has been pro greasing for some time; the Rev. Mr Skin ner of that church is assisted by Rev. Mr Pritchard, of Wilmington, and Rev. Mr Wingate of Wake Forest College. In Petersburg, Va.. daily services have bees cki tinned for some weeks past in the Methodist Church, and religions influences have spread over tin- whole city. The Ex press states that the high and low, rich and poor are forsaking their sins and bow ing at the attar for prayer. In Sumter, S. ('.. a revival is also pro gressing with gratifying re units m - Commknckm E n T Address, Henry W. Miller. E-.j., of Raleigh, will deliver the Address hef re the two Literary Societies atCbaneJ Hill, at the eiisuing Commence ment. The II-n. Warren Winslow, of Fayette il!e, will deliver the Address before the Alumni. From the known ability of the two gen tlemen above named, the public may expect intellectual treats. J-Tbe Rev. James McDaniel of Fay ettevilie, will deliver the Valedictory Ser in, in before the Students of the United Baptist Institute, Taylorsville, N. C, on Thursday the 4th of June next. - The Presides r of the N C Railroad. With Mr. Fisher, the President of the X. C Railroad, we are personally unacquainted, but we have traveled the road euoogfa to see, and learn from reliable sources, the energetic manner in which he superintends the in terests of the Company and the efforts made by him to satisfy the public generally ; and we cannot see the justice in the frequent attacks ou that gentleman by newspaper writers. Sometimes we see complaint made against him that he employs negroes iustead of white men; and then some disappoint ed place-seeker growls because he was un successful; some one loses a carpet bag, or some one else has a package delayed, and forthwith a murmur against the President of the Road is heard- We see by the Kinston Advocate of the 9th hist, that some writer has been trying to ridicule Mr. Fisher because he (the writer) has not received answers to letters address ed to him, or some other attention. With the matter about which he complains we know nothing, but this much we do know, that it would be well for complainers to re member before publishing their grievances, if any they have, that it is not possible for any man to be perfect, and also that the duties of the Presidency of the X. C. Road are more burdensome than those of any other road in the State the Road being ii.'j miles long and. that it is next to im possible for him to succeed in giving com plete satisfaction. We do not believe that toe services of another man can be secured who would do the work better, or give it more attention, than does Mr. Fisher. UP The '"Beaufort Journal" is the name' of a new paper just issued in Beaufort, X. C, the first number of which we have re ceived. It is published by John Xichols, Esq, at $2 a year. Xeutral in politics. CP We are indebted to the politeness of Mr Wm. S. Xorment, at Chapel Hill, for a copy of the address delivered before the Literary Societies of that institution at the last Commencement. VCoL John II. Wheeler, late Minister to Xicarauga, arrived in Charlotte ou Sun Jay last, and is stopping at Kerr's Hotel. BANK OP THE STATE. Some ene over the signature of "A" is publishing a series of articles in the Raleigh Register, pointing out what he considers objectionable features in the 'act to rechar ter the Bank of the State of North Carolina. Although the writer does not directly re commend the rejection of the charter, yet his tone and manner of argument shows conclusively that he prefers its rejection. In reply to some remarks of the Standard reviewing and combating his objections, the writer says : "A" cannot consent to act himself or to advise other to act under the apprehension (if, in fact, there be sufficient cause for it,) that the Legislature will not tender a more favorable charter. If that now offered is rejected, it will be done very reluctantly, and only under a high sense of duty, and a conviction that private iuterests demand it. Certainly no impartial man can impute blame to the stockholders if they decline a proffered bargain to vest their capital in a Bank, which, on being agreed to, will bind them hand and foot for 25 years, without any right to relief, if, in their judgment, the investment of that capital can be better made in many places out of the State, and worse made in none in the State. "A" does not feel any such alarm at the idea of declining to accept the charter as you seem to apprehend. In that event the pre sent Bank will doubtless do its current and regular business to the last hour of its ex istence in I860; and then it has three years to wind up its affairs. In the coming year another Legislature will assemble, and be able, perhaps to enlist in another Rank those capitalists who may desire to become stock holders in this. In the meantime " A " knows that the present stockholders will do nothing to embarrass the finances of the State: but will, as at all times heretofore, afford every assistance in the power of the bank to aid the treasury, and make its own exit as quiet as possible." We have no idea what will be the fate of the charter at the stockholders' meeting, but we think it is plain that certain individ uals are desirous of having it rejected, expecting thus to extort from the Legisla ture a more favorable one. We believe they will find out their mistake. The peo ple should not be so dependent on any monied institution as to allow it to dictate terms and force acquiesence in conse quence of their dependence. If such a game as that is to be played, the sooner the creditor learns to live without the Rank the better it will be for him and the public. We have no ether wish to see the charter accepted than that those who apprehend pecuniary embarrassment may have longer time to meet their liabilities. Were it not for the fact that a number will be pressed if the State Bank goes into liquidation, we should prefer to see the aristocratic concern wind up, and its place occupied by another and more liberal institution. We think with the Standard -'that if this charter is rejected, it is not probable that any other, or further, or materially differ ent charter will be tendered. This is sim ply our opinion, based upon some knowledge of public sentiment on the subject. And we are equally confident that if the charter is accepted, such amendments as may be reasonably desired by the stockholders, w'ill be ranted by the next General Assembly." m m m m MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. On Monday the Gth inst. another explo sion took place in the Coal Mines at Egypt, Chatham county, X. C, causing the death of five men, viz: Robt. Dunn, superintend ent, Geo. Lewis, James Burn, Daniel flays, and Michael McCormick. At the last ac count none of the bodies had been recover ed. The cause of tin- explosion is unknown. Eoos. Charlotte is the greatest market for eggs in the State. Old G rimer,' speck led hen must certainly have settled all her little chicks in the vicinity of our ancient and honorable borough, judging from the quantity of eggs coming in. Down at Maj. Kerr's they have the embryos of future generations fried, poached and boiled, for breakfast, dinner, and for dinner and break fast. On one occasion "Jeems' gorged himself to such an extent that at night he was awakened from his slumbers by the horrid dream that a young Shanghai roost er was picking at his liver. He declares he won't eat any more eggs. We hope not. TIP They have introduced a new amuse ment at Albany, X. Y., (the place where all the humbugs originate.) It is called "Riding the Elephant." Two gentlemen stoop down on hands and knees, pillows and blankets are piled on their backs for saddles proper appendages are attached to re present the crittur a lady is placed upon the sadc" and carried around the room ! We have "seen the elephant," and now who will ride him? We bespeak a place as 'ele phant,' in propria persona. "Oh! for a spot in some sequestered dale where the briars and thistles won't grow," but where all can crawl on their hands and knees, and thus like an elephant go ! Hem ! y The Western Democrat reaches us so regularly irregular or irregularly regular that we are regularly posed to know what has become of the two last numbers. What is the matter. Sir William? Wherein hath thy servant offended his lord? Fayettevilie Carolinian. Let not thy spirit be troubled or disquiet ed within thee thou hast done no wrong that fears should cause thy heart to throb or thy corns to ache. (Unpublished edi tion of Mr Shakspeare.) The 'Democrat' reaches others in Fayettevilie regularlj-. and we cannot understand why it don't reach our friend of the Carolinian. Pro bably he has some dear friend who borrow his exchanges before he gets an opportunity to see them. If you catch anybody steal ing "our" mouutaiu thunder just ram him into one of those "sink holes" in the corpo ration ditch, and if he survives that, let him be made to walk through " Scotch town" or "Maiden Lane" on some dark night and stand a chance of being gored by the "town bull," first sending us a lock of Lis hair carefully folded in a copy of the " American Organ," the next greatest nuisance in the country. XW We learn that when the extra train was recently put upon the X. C Railroad there were fifty-nine applicants for Con ductor's places ! CANDIDATES. The Democratic District Convention of the sixth District, which met in Winston last week, nominated Alfred M. Scales, Esq., for Congress. We hope the demo cracy of that District will make a strong pull this time and elect Mr Scales by a triumphant vote. Hon. R. C. Puryear, late member, has been renominated by the Whig-American Convention. Mr Puryear is a very clever man, but we earnestly de sire his defeat. Xo man who voted against repealing odious restrictions on the rights of the southern people should be sent to Congress from the Sonth. RAILROAD CONVENTION. The friends of theCheraw and Coal Fields Railroad held a Convention in Cheraw, S. Carolina, on the 1st instant. H. W. Har rington, of Richmond county, presided. Delegates were in attendance from Mont gomery, Richmond, Moore and Chatham counties, X. C, to the number of 37, and from Darlington, Marlboro and Chesterfield Districts, S. C, to the number cf 50. The Convention was addressed by M. Q. Waddell, J. Morison, Jas. Powell md S. II. Christian, urging the importance of ac cepting the charter, and explaining its pro visions. The committee on business, through their Chairman, M. Q. Waddell, made a report setting forth the importance of building this Road to the Coal Fields on Deep River in Chatham county, X. C. The Report states that not less than $500,000 have been in vested in coal lands, and that the highest price as yet paid for this sort of land, per acre, is only 65! It urges the advantages of the Road and directs that the route be surveyed and subscription books opened along the line as early as possible. A com mittee was appobitcd to visit Charleston and represent to the citizens of that city the great advantages that will accrue to them from this Road if built. A warm feeling was manifested for the success of the work, and we think extra ex ertions will be made to accomplish it. The people along the line in Xorth Carolina seem to be fully aroused on the matter, and are pursuing their cherished object with zeal- ousness. The Twentieth of May. We see by the papers that the anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence is to be celebrated in Charlotte. Why should not this day be made a State gala day? It is our fourth of July. The germ of independence was vitalized in the old North State upon that day; and then first ! sprang from her sod the tiny shoot which j is now the great tree f liberty in whose shade a mighty nation rests, and whose ! boughs overshadow a continent. The first Declaration of American independence! ; Shall the sons of Carolina forget the chivalry ! of their fathers, and the daughters of j liberty's mother remember no longer the legend of her bridal to the genius of freedom? It should be a festal day throughout the State; and we doubt not that the descendants of those noble fathers of the revolution who first sent out, in the j name of the Cod of Nations, their protest , against tyranny and oppression and sealed ! it with their blood, would respond with one voice to the call which summons them to i celebrate the deeds and honor the memory I of their immortal ancestors. Let the press ' call upon the people to remember this glorious anniversary; let orators recount the history of seventy six, and gailant youths ! ami fair maidens assemble around the altar '. of patriotism to do botnasfe to the memory j of their forefathers! Fay. Caroliuiun. We agree with the Carolinian, that the j 20th of May ought to be celebrated and ob ; served throughout the State. Every Xorth ': Carolinian should feel proud of the fact that Independence was first declared in the Old ! North State, and that her sons were the first to throw off the shackles of tyranny and bid defiance to kings and lords. We hope that public feeling will be aroused on this subject, and that all will hereafter take more interest in the matter. We are pleased to know that a fine mili tary company in Fayettevilie, the " La i fayette Light Infantry," has adopted the ! 20th of May as its anniversary occasion. "The only way for an Editor to got along and preserve his own self-respect, is to please himself, and let the rest of man kind take care of themselves." Exchange. ! Yes, indeed. If an editor ever under- takes to satisfy the whims and caprices of particular individuals or cliques, he's a I goner. Or if he allows the opinions of any ; other man to shape his course, to the ex- elusion of what ma-meet his own approba j tion, public confidence is forfeited. As to the idea of pleasing everybody, why its just the way to displease everybody, the editor I himself included. There are a great many i people who are very confident they could conduct an editor's paper for him much better than he can do it for himself. Some : of this kind of people are frequently heard ; to pronounce sermons and speeches "rery : cor," when, in nine cases out of ten, if they were to undertake to act in either ! capacity they would render themselves su premely ridiculous. Served Him Right. The Fayettevilie Argu.-, of last week says : "At the late Term of Richmond Superior ; Court, Stephen Cole was sentenced to pay i a fine of five hundred dollars and b6 im- prisoned ten days, for whipping his wife. He In at her in a cruel and brutal manner, : ami the community were greatly pleased with the sentence pronounced by the sternly righteous Judge. Cole is a wealthy man." VW The Xew Yorkers have for a long time been trying to devise some plan to re lieve Rroadway of the inconvenience result ing from the large crowds of people and vehicles that throng its surface from morn ing till night. The present plan is to curtail the stoops and areas and remove tire lamp posts nearer to the buildings, giving 8i feet more effective room. A bill is before the X. Y. Legislature to charter a company to build a railroad through Rroadway at a cost of seven millions of dollars. A com mittee has made a lavorable report on the bill.

A Paris letter says it is now certain that England and France have agreed to act jointly in the China affair. France will furnish twenty at , . ; .. 3 l j. : inousanu troops against rmgiauu s superior naval force ; and England allows France to introduce a clause into the arraugemeuts in favor of the Cutholic religion. Lynch Law in Texas. The arrest of "Hill Johnson," a desperado at Waco, Tex as, after fierce resistance, has been noticed. A. Vigilance Committee, consisting of thirty two members, was formed for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances of his arrest and his wounds- The latter, not being deemed mortal, led the committee to take active measures, us the next morning the body of Johnson was found suspended from the platform in front of the jail, with the top of his head shot off. The Leather Trade. There is great complaint of the high price of leather through out the United States. The same is the case, we see, in England. The boot and shoe makers of London, recently held a inciting, and after declaring that the price of h ather is from fifty to eighty per cent, (many estimating it at even a higher figure than that) more than it was a year ago, re solved to advance the price of their manu factures From the records of the Pension Bureau, it appears that the land warrants issued since the first law passed will call for alone 58,000,000 acres of land. The acts passed since February 10th. 1817. have granted more than 50,000,000 of this amount. Chinese Poison. A private letter from a French naval officer serving in the Chinese squadron, says that man' of the Europeans who partook of the poisoned bread at Hong Kong, lost their teeth, their nails, and even the hair of their heads. A Russian cap tain was attacked with oplhahnis, and his sight is despaired of. About four hundred persons were more or less poisoned. Singular Electrical Phenomena. Captain Soule, of bark Oregon, arrived yesterday morning from Havre, reports that on the 25th of March, in hit. 40.06, long. 06.30, during a dense fog, three balls of fi;e passed over the vessel, making a noise simi lar to shots from a cannon. The last one bursted aboi.t the mast head, casting sparks all about the deck. Every person on deck at the time was knocked down, but without injury. N. Y. Journal of Commerce. . The freight on the X. C. Railroad is heavy, and appears to be increasing. The warehouse at the depot here is filled nearly every day, aud the various articles are forwarded west with as much despatch as possible. The Agent at this place Mr West, is polite and attentive in the discharge of his duties; and we are sure he is doing all he can to meet the expec atioos of western merchants and others, whose goods are forwarded by the Central Road. Ralciyh Standard. The Virginia uSearcu Law." A Special Committee of the Massachusetts Legislature have presented a report on the petition of Levi Raker, for an appropriation to test the "search laws" of Virginia, and recommend the passage of a resolve appro priating $25,000 to enable Levi Raker, of Yarmouth, to te.ct before the Supreme Court of the United Suites the constitution ality of an act of the Legislature of Virginia, passed March IT, 1856, entitled '-An act providing additional protection for slave property of citizens." Vigilance Committee is Nebraska. St Louis, April 4. The officers of the Steamer St. Mary, from Council Bluffs, report that four men were shot at Piatt's Mouth, Nebraska, on March 19, by order of a vigilance committee. Five others had been banished the territory, and forbidden to return under the pain of death. The offence was "claim jumping. n Case of Conscience.

We have seen several original private letters from Major General Henningscn, in his own ! handwriting, addressed to persons in this city, dated at Rivas, March 19, confirming, in every essential fact, the recent victories obtained by Walker and his troops over the Costa Rican allies. Of the truth of this there can be no doubt. Henningsen states that in battle 400 of the allies were killed, I and about 50 of his own troops. The bat tle lasted ten hours, ending in the utter de feat of the enemy. In a few weeks Walker and Henningsen are confident of clearing the country of the Costa Ricans. New York Herald. l2tF Hon. T.

Ou examina tion we find, to our surprise, that the late Legislature changed the time of payment of Merchants' and some other tuxes, from the 1st of April to the 1st of Jul'. It would appear, also, to an unprofessional reader, that the Legislature has relinquished three months' tax, viz : from April to July, on merchants and others who hereti -fore paid taxes on the 1st of April. The new law requires them to pay on the 1st of July the tax on their business for the year proceeding that day; and to take out license to do certain kinds of business for one year from the 1st day of July. Nothing is said, webelieve, about the interval between the expiration of last year's license, (viz: the 1st inst.) and the 1st of July next, when a near license is to be obtained.

This poisoning appears to have been reduced to a system by the party or parties engaged in it, and watch-dogs have been poisoned in the yards which they were guarding and beyond which they could not stray. This must have been done by poisoned meat thrown in. Wilmington Herald. ACQUITTED. Wra. Davis, Cha's Davis, and Wm. C. Davis, tried at Elizabeth city, X. C, for the shooting and killing of ('apt.
