Fatal Storm. The storm of last
Thursday was very destructive in a por
' ticm of Gaston. In the angle between
1 South Fork and Catawba, it was. especi
ally severe. Mrs. Adam Hoffman return-
4 r t w
thestorm, the house was upset killing
bef and injuring a negro woman severe-,
ly. The fences were swept entirely
away in that neighborhood and quite a
auin6er of Louses were destroy. AM
the houses were blown down on the old
Tommy McLean place. All the fences on
the northern part of Wm.K. McLean's
plantation were blown down. Dr. John
McLean had a horse killed by a falling
tree; a negro riding the horse was not
injured. Young John McLean was
knocked off his horse but not seriously
hurt. The storm crossed the Catawba
between Neal's Mills and Eock Island
and expended its fury in the black-jack
country about Daniel Gallant's. It de
stroyed all his out buildings and unroofed
his house. The same thing happened on
the plajce of Mr. Samuel W. Crowell. All
tbehousea except the J dwelling house
were destroyed on Mr. Robert' Ross'
place. The houses and fences we're con
siderably injured . on the places of Mr.
- John B. Grier and others in that neigbor
hood. We learn that S. Watson Eeid
was also a considerable sufferer by the
storm.

Eadioal Meeting at Statesville.
The negroes and revenue smellers were
addressed by Pearson, Furches and some
others of the small fry. Then Mr. Drake,
the late moderate editor of the American,
called for John T. Schenck, Esq., (late a
colored citizen of Charlotte, but now a
TJ. S. Mail carrier.) The call was re
sponded to, and we learn that the mail-
carrier made, by far, the best speech of
the meeting. A spectator told us that
he (Schenck) said he was willing to re
ceive any white man into the party "who
would come in as a negro and acknowl
edging the doctrine of negro equality."
That is the right sort of talk, and we are
glad that the speaker proclaimed it so
boldly. Brother Drake seems to have
accepted the terms, for his last paper is
out-and-out Eadical and no longer neutral
and independent. We are glad of the
change. Brother Drake .as a fence-rider
could have done much mischief; as a
Eadical be is supremely harmless.
The Statesville Intelligencer. We
welcome to our exchange list this well
printed and able paper. If the Conserva
tives of Iredell and, surrounding counties
give their new paper the support that it
deserves, they will be great gainers by
the loss of the American. It-was always
calculated to do Conservatism more harm
than good.

Agin de Judges. The negroes in the
Eadical Convention showed their dislike
of the Judiciary. They went solid
against Judge Logan (late of the penny
and cost) and Judge Settle (late of Peru,)
and supported the lawless Tod H. Cald
well. Their charming little song is :
Mass Tod, be woz too many
For "de cost and de penny,"
He made 'em feel berry blue
De buckra man from Peru.
Mass Tod, he de man for us :
: Coz he rip round, swar and cuss,
Coz he talk out and cay psha

those whom honor is of right due.
Charlotte is to-day the centre of rail
roads and the emporium of commeroe,
and all is the result of those trusting,
faithful men who labored and toiled, in
her day of -small things, for her advance
ment and for her future prosperity.
The first railroad meeting ever held in
this county, or indeed in Western North
Carolina, was gotten up by John E. Alex
ander, Esq., of Alexandriana. The call
for which wa9 published in the Charlotte
Journal, of October 23rd, 1846. Mr. A
was an enthusiastio railroad man. when
it was fashionable to sneer at such enter
prises as chimerical and visionary, and I
believe he did more to arouse an interest
in their construction than any man of his
day in this section. He came to town
on Friday, October 22d, 1846, wrote the
notice of the meeting; to come off on the
following Tuesday, (it being Court week,)
and after consultation with Colonel Brem
and S. P. Alexander, Esq., took it to the
office for publication.' Col. W. J. Alex
ander and Judge James W. Osborne were
the speakers selected by these gentlemen
for the occasion, and their efforts gteatly
aroused the people to the importance of
the undertaking, and in no small measure
contributed to the building of the Char
lotte and Columbia Eailroad.
From this to the day of his death, our
distinguished and lamented Judge Os
borne devoted his ereat mrad to the
development of bis State and section
The Charlotte of to-day owes he great
ness and her fame to the faith and fore
sight of those daring orators or, as they
were then called, "dreamers."

Ucininaticn cf Ted B. Caldwell fcr to-
Cmor. i ' ::
We publish the following gratifying
news froyn the Eadical , Convention At
Ealeigh : . : ' -:
Gov. Caldwell was nominated on first
ballot, receiving 58 votes. Judge Settle,
the administration candidate, received 28,
Dockery-14, and Logan only 7.
,The following reasons may -be given
for satisfaction at the result : : J
b irst, Governor Caldwell made war
speeches in '61 and sent his own son to
battle for the Confederacy and that son
gave his life for the cause. As the Eadi
calg have brought out a Confederate, as
their standard-bearer, they can no longer
twit the Conservatives with being seces
sionists and rebels.
Second, Judge Settle was the Grant
candidate for Governor and we are not
sorry for a breach between the military
despot and the Eadicals of North Caroli
na. Third, Gov. Caldwell has shown him
self more lawless than Holden himself.
He defeated the wishes of the people
regard to the Convention. He set hiro-
eelf above the Legislature and did all he
could to defeat the laws passed by that
bodyr He has been in thorough accord
with all the infat8bus acts of oppression
under tbe Ku-klux bill. Since the days"
ueerrno crumes equarronose perpetra
ted under this bill, and Caldwell has con
nived at and approved them all. These
high crimes and misdemeanors must tell
against him in the coming canvass.
Fourth, It is not possible that Judge
Logan can render a cordial support to the
man who wanted him impeached and who
has spoken of him in such terms of con
tempt.
!
Eadical Nominations. :
The Eads on the 18th finished their
ticket :
Curtis H. Brotrden. of Wavne, for
Lieutenant Governor.
W. H. Howerton, of Eow an, for Secre
tary of State.
T. L. Hargrove, of Granville, for Attor
ney General.
John Eiley, of Cumberland, for Audi
tor.
Eov. James Eeid, of Franklin, for Su
perintendent of Public Instruction.
Silas N. Burns, of Chatham, for Super
intendent of Public Works.
In this motley crew, Mr. Hargrove is
said to be a man of sense. The negro
and carpet-bag element was ignored.
The Convention endorsed Holden and j.
abbott. Love for Holden is the new
test of loyalty and we think it a capital
one. We give the resolutions :
Eesolved, That the Eepublicans of
North Carolina desire that the law bo
impartially carried out in the case of
Hoa. J. C. Abbott, now pending in the
Senate of the United States, and if it
should be found that he is legally entitled
to the seat, it would not only be gratify
ing to-tLaittj Unt in Jtheir opinion, wonld ,
best subserve tbe public interest oi tne
State and be in accordance with the wish
es of a majority of the people, that he be
seated, and the result would be a merited
rebuke to the spirit of contempt and defi
ance of the national Constitution mani
fested bv a majority of the members of
the last legislature.
Resolved, That W. W. Holden deserves
from the Eepublican party of North Car
olina, the kindest affection and deepest
gratitude for his manful and hard de
fence of them in lbby-TUtrom the assaults
of the ku-klux Democracy; for his univer
sal and consistent defence of the poor and
humble when be was Governar, and his
faithful and ceaseless advocacy of Eepub
lican principles when he was with us, and
now that he is a martyr in exile at Wash
ington. Resolved, That we endorse him in tne
past and 'shall ever cherish our love for
him m the future, and we nave conndent
hope and trust that the time' is not far
distant when he shall return to his Dative
State again to battle for the Union, for
eoualitv before the law. and tor the
progressive principles of Republicanism.
, ,
The Eadical State Convention, in addi
tion to the resolutions endorsinar Grant and
Caldwell, also endorsed Abbott's claim, to the
Senatorship and Gov. Holden's administra
tion !
''Angels and micitttra of grace, defend as."
As one of their prominent members
remarked, they had a heavy load to carry
before, but with these endorsements their
burdens would be intolerable. Ral. News

Important To Cotton Planters !
COTTON FOOD SECURED BY LETTERS PATENT.
A Special Fertilizer, prepared by the Maryland Fertilizing and Manufacturing Com
pany, Baltimore, for the Cotton crop, which they claim to be of the highest grade of Fer
tilizers sold in the South.
It has been used bv several hundred planters In North and South Carolina and Georgia,
for four seasons, with the following results :
It increases the crop from. 75 to 200 per cent : it resists drouth in all cases.
The crop is not effected by rust ; it matures the crop from three to four weeks In advance
thus Insuring against early frost, or in the event oi a backward season enables the planter
to put in his crop as late as tbe 1st of June with a certainty of success.
It produces a better quality of Cotton ; its effect on the second year's crop, without addi
tional manure, ranges from one-third to one-half of the first year.
Its mechanical preparation surpasses that of all other Fertilizers, being at all tims and
in all conditions of weather in perfect order for drilling.
It is sold on the basis in quality of Peruvian Guano, pound forpound. Agents are in- "
structed, when planters use it side by side with tbe best Peruvian Guano, in equal quanti
ties, to refund such amount as will make it equal if it fails to produce as much Cotton as
the Peruvian.
Numerous testimonials can be had at the offlce of the agents. Orders will also be

After repeated analysis of the Cotton Food, manufactured by Mr. Lawrence Sangston,
of Baltimore I feel warranted in saying that the amount and quality of its elements must
constitute it a reliable and excellent Fertilizer., The liberal amount of Ammonia and So
luble Phosphoric Acid which it contains must hasten and enlarge the growth of the Plant,
and give it a firm fruitage and are so well balanced as to promise satisfactory results to
the planter who may commend his crop its liursing care.
