We learn that the ladies of Charlotte, with that noble generosity which characterises them in every moral enterprise, have determined to give a Supper, on the first evening of our County Fair Wednesday the 20th instant in aid of the new Methodist Church Building in this place. They design making it a pleasant social gathering; for which purpose rooms will be especially pre pared with pianos and other social paraphernalia, lor 'a least ot reason aim a now oi soul. 1 ne Supper, it is sufficient to say, will be prepared by the ladies that's recommendation enough for us. An admission fee will be received at the door, from gentlemen, which will entitle to a "through ticket" for all the enjoyment, without let or hin drance. As the object is a good one, and the mode of contributing certainly pleasant, who will not en courage it t Bkkt CATTLK. Two droves of Ueeves wercH Fold in this market last week, one of 17 head on Friday and another of 24 head on Saturday; the latter drove was the finest stock we have had here for some time. Mr J. L.

A Town Mketing was held on Saturday even ing and a resolution passed requesting the Com missioners of Charlotte to submit to a vote of the citizens a proposition to subscribe 60,000, on the part of the Corporation, to the Railroad connecting this town and Statesvillc. We presume, as a mat ter of course, the subscription will be made, which, with the amount subscribed by individuals, will make upwards of 575,000 for this town. It is thought that the Town can provide for a cubscription of'$G0,000 without an increase of taxes, j twenty thousand for the democratic candidates.

We notice that the opposi tion papers are publishing, and exulting over, what they term a boast of Senator Toombs of Ga , relative to the defeat of the Post Office Appro- reported, but if he did make the declaration, it is nut correct the record will not sustain it he did not stand with the ate of the bill in his hand. I The Post Office Appropriation was defeated mainly by the Black Republicans, assisted by other op ponents of the Administration, Z. B. Vance and John A. Gilmer of this State, among the number. We say we do not believe that Senator Toombs made the precise declaration attributed to him, but if he did, it is incorrect. "The people are anxious for an opnortunity to put down and overthrow the Democrat' c party." Whig papers. The people of dcorgia have just "put down" about 15,000 majority for the democratic candidate for Governor, and elected six of the eight demo cratic candidates for Congress. The people of Mississippi have re-endorsed thc democratic party by giving an increased democratic majority The people of California have assisted in thc putting down process by electing a democratic Governor and democratic members of Congress. That is the way the "people" are showing their anxiousness. If our whig friends don't lookout they will be "put down" as false prophets. C''P the following from the local col umn of a New York paper : Almost Starred. A woman named Eliza Mc Donald was found on Saturday evening lying upon a curb stone in Park street, in an extreme state of exhaustion. She was conveyed to the Sixth Ward Station House, and after being attended by a phy sician, stated that for several nights past she had lodged in different station houses, but had eaten not hing of consequence in five days, having had no means to get food. If some of the fanatics at the North would give a little sympathy to the poor and destitute white people in their midst instead of expending it in be half of the well-fed and well-clothed southern negro, it would be more to their credit. And if those persons who spend S")00 for a shawl or a dress were to devote a small portiou of their substance to feeding the needy, they might die with some hope of a peaceful hereafter. What's thk Difference. The opposition papers have been boasting pretty loudly recently because1, as they say, two democratic papers, one in Georgia and one in Mississippi, deserted thc dem ocratic party and joined the opposition. On the strength of this they profess to discover signs of the downfall of the democratic party. If thc changes took place, as they claim, it has made lit tle difference, and that difference is in favor of the democratic party; for there is a majority in both Georgia and Mississippi of between fifteen and i jlt)pC Ql preserving me consiuunou uuu iuu uuiun.

It is a common saying that the inhabitants of New York are a "great people," but we think the following shows that some of those who live in Massachusetts are a "leetle greater." The idea of firing a salute in honor of the birth of a child is quite original in this country : Welcomed with cannon. The Newburyport Herald says a salute of nine guns was fired in Ward j o. 1 Honor or an neir wn.cn was oorn unto a ni'irrinil c.ilr, vuhn llilll tlpfn Tlir KOlllfi VfliirS etlllll- less, and whose mother was formerly belle of the j Ward. One yun was fired for each pound of the J child's weijrht North Carolina vs. Texas. A correspon dent of the Fayetteville Observer, deprecating the disposition manifested by our citizens to remove to Texas, says : "North Carolinians are dissatisfied with North Carolina because first and chiefly the people abroad say it is a slow State yes, the "persimmon State" itself! 1 hesitate not to say that no coun try has been more slandered and abused, nor passes for so much less than its intrinsic worth than North Carolina. Let us compare our own agricul tural worth and facilities with that of some of our neighbors. Take South Carolina. North Carolina j has one million more acres cultivated land Mian has South Carolina; yet the entire value of thc S C. farms exceeds that of N. C. farms by more than fifteen million dollars ! Why us this." S. C. lands must be more productive and her agricultural pur suits moie lucrative than our own. We will see. S. C. produces fifteen million dollars more rice and nine millions more cotton than does N. C; whilst on the other band, N. C. in all the other products (agricultural) exceeds S. C. iu the sum of thirty eight millions, making a balance of thirteen or fourteen millions in favor of N. C. ! Now what meaneth this ? It simply means that N. C. is vastly under-rated. And while her sons are speed ing to Texas, she stands to-day the best State for money making in the agricultural world, than any in th ( Y.nft'deracv more monev to be made on less capital. But alas! there is one difficulty that hinders the prosperity of our farmers, that hurts not those of other States, viz: The current value of their farms, is never enhanced, but to thc contrary is in constant jeopardy of losing what he may have gained from his "crop" proceeds in the deprecia ting of the value of his lands. This will be reme died in no way except that ye Inke-warm Carolin ians leave the State '. You half residents and half renegades who "can see," mt have an eye only for Texas, you have already done much to retard her progress agricultural, and your absence will be her blessing. Go to Texas, your fairy land; and no longer monopolize thc land you love and cnerish not. You are clogging her very wheels of prog ress, and then are complaining that she moves no faster ! Leave the State (or love her better) and let the places you fill be held and honored by loyal sons." mt9 m The editor of a western paper acknowledges a visit from one of his editorial brethren in the fol lowing novel style: "We had the pleasure of a call at our sanctum from brother Smith of the "Wild Cat Pioneer." He is a whole-souled fellow and is looking remark ably well, but is one of the greatest liars unhung, especially when speaking of the circulation of the "Pioneer" and of matters and things in get.eral. We hope he may meet with great success, and al ways escape detection in his rascality. Brother Smith must call again." If "brother Smith" ever calls on that fellow again, it will be, we suppose, armed and equipped with a big stick. But probably it was intended as a burlesque on the too frequent (but well in tended) puffs editors are in the habit of giving each other. Editors have a hard time of it ii? this world generally, and nothing else but good feeling should exist between them, all doing what they can to make "Jordan" as easy a road to travel as possible, but promiscuous puffing is out of place and frequently not appreciated.

By a statement publishsd in the Standard from the State Comptroller, we find that the amount of Taxes paid in by the different Sheriffs this year is, in round numbers, $050,000 including the taxes of Bladen and Idc'Dowell, (which are yet to be paid in,) and the Bank Tax. This is an increase over last year of about 20 per centum. Cumberland Fair. We return thanks to thc Executive Committee for an invitation to attend the annual Fair of the Cumberland county Agri cultural Society, at Fayetteville, on the 2d, 3d and 4th of Nov. As we have heretofore announced, W. W. Holden, Esq, is to deliver the Address. WJ ha(j pro,msed ourselves the pleasure of meet friend in that section on the O J . occasion of their Fair, but regret that we find it inconvenient to leave at that time. Changing the subject slightly, we must say that we are highly gratified at the evidences we have through the Fayetteville papers of the mcreasin prosperity of that old town. Business of all kinds has greatly increased within the past year, and with the completion of the Railroad to the coal fields in Chatham county, (and a connection with the a C. Road, which we consider as certain at some time,) Fayetteville will again assume her ancient fame as a great commercial mart. No people are more deserving of success, for they have fought through many difficulties, and it is a matter of eneral gratification that they are about overcom ing them. Reason to be Thankful. The people of this section of the State certainly have abundant reason to be grateful to a beneficent Providence for the bountiful crops of the present year. Truly thc "earth has brought forth by handsfull," and good ness and mercy have crowned the year. With an abundance of all the necessaries of life, stock of all kinds commands very high prices. Horses and mules arc as high as the most inveterate money lover could wish to see them. Almost anything in the shape of a horse will command a hundred dollars, while mules are as good a tender as bank bills, and at very extravagant rates. If the far mers and stock raisers of this t-ection do not make money enough to put them out ot debt and leave something handsome behind, with the advan tages they are now enjoying, we shall despair of ever seeing them reach that "consummation so ue voutly to be wished." Ashcvilk News. Horse Stealing. Wc learn that a man calling himself sometimes Martin, and at other times 31il ler, stole a horse in Danville, Ya., a few days ago, brought him on to Yanceyville, sold him, and then le't for the Company Shops. The public should be on the lookout for said thief. He is described as being about 35 years of age, blue eyes and good countenance. G reenaborough Patriot. A "Spading" Match. At the Plymouth County Fair, Mass., on Wednesday, a spading match occurred, which attracted considerable at tention. A ring was formed, and lots of land ten feet square each, were marked for six stalwart Irishmen, who were the competitors for the prizes. The time allowed for the work to be done was 20 minutes, and the depth to be spaded was nine inches. The quickest time made was fourteen and a half minutes. The contest was an animated one, and the men worked until the perspiration rolled off their faces. The crowd cheered them on, and laughed at the ludicrous attempts made by some to drive through the work. One man only used up the whole time. The victor is certainly a trump and worthy thc title of "Jack of fepades. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OP A CIRCUS COMPANY AT GASTON, N. C. Robinson's Circus Company exhibited at Gaston on the 8th inst., and from the Huming bills they had put out, and fair promises therein contained, it was to be expected that they would endeavor to behaTe themselves, at least decently. But if any people were ever cursed with vagabonds and rowdies, it was most assuredly tlie isitors to said Circus. They first evinced their beastly propensities in endeavoring to show, in defiance of the sheriff", who demanded the taXj which was $75 for the Circus and $15 for side shows. This they rented until their property was in jeopardy of being seized, when they succumbed and became moderately uuiet. As shown, however, when the dcors were opened Uie doorkeeper Mr Aiex. Robinson vented his malignant vituperation on delenceless women and children, by pushing and dragging them as they entered the canvass. with such remarks as "go long man stand bacK gal. This greatly incensed a large number, and it was only after better counsels prevailed with the friends of those who had suffered from his rudeness, that he escaped wh.it he ercatly deserved, a good hickory caning The worst has, however, to be tolu. As soon as the performance was over, his company from the most abject menial up to the proprietor made an indis criminate attack on some of our most respectable and moffeusive citizens, and up to the present writing there is a gentleman who was only sojourning temporarily in this section, who is missing, and it is the general imoression that he has been murdered.

There is a report that they were instigated to this diabolical outrage bv those from whom better was to be expected. I have just seen a gentleman who was merely looking on when attacked. He fired his Deringer pistol and retreated. The only damage he did was to shoot off a piece of the ear. The southern community from self-respect if nothing else, should frown down Abolition and Rowdy Humbugs of this kind; ami the only direct way to do so is to raise the tax to $250, which will surely deter them from travelling in this direction.

As the treaty makes no provision for settling differences of this character, it is the opinion of distinguished states men that it now remains for England to initiate any remedy which she may consider right and just. Baltimore Municipal Election. Baltimore, Oct. 13. During the municipal election here yesterday there was much intimidation, and con siderable violence in some of the wards by rowdies. The ballot box was smashed in the twentieth ward. The police, as usual, were generally inefficient. The Reformers carried seven out of the nineteen wards. The vote is reduced nearly one-half from last year. In many of the wards the poll windows were blocked by Plug Uglies and other rowdy bands against the vo ting of naturalized citizen voters. Intimidation was resorted to, and towards evening violence was used to exclude naturalized voters from the polls. Savannah Municipal Election. Savannah, Oct. 11.
