A Uandom Editorial.
When an editor has room only for one or
two short editorials in an era like the pre- ! the proper authorities, euttiug rff the senb

his mind is often put to the rsck to extort j nothing to give sid and comfort to the ene
lrom it a selection wLich will at oeee plesse y. perhaps in the expressive though vulgar
and edify bis readers. In this dilemma we ,
find ourselves involved this morning, a
situation which frequently inspires a reek-
less indifference in the mind of the editor
as to what subject be will select as a relief 'great deal either way. St.il 1 have more

puplic meeting:;
At a meeting of the eitixens of the Coen
ty of Mecklenburg, held at the Court Ho use
in Charlotte on Friday tht 26th, 1861,
On motion of J. A. Fox, Jodgs Obboni
wss eall to the Cbair, and . C. Davidson
requested to act ;as Secretary.
On taking the Cbair Mr. Osborni said :
The County of Rowan baa within a few
short weeka lost two of her most ditinguiih
cd citiiena. Got. Ellis and Charlis F.
Fibbir. The former in hi ojace of Gov
ernor of the State, resolutely met tho crises
in her history which drove her frim the
Union, and compelled ber to take op srms
far the defeoco of ber libertioi. With a
body wasted by a mortal disease he faith
fully laborsd to earry out the purposes
of the State, and death found him in the
ery harness of his patriotio labors. Wben
it was apparent that war wes inevitable,
Mr. Fisher relinquished all honorable,
useful and comparatively proS'abl'i civil
employment to bear a conspicuous part in
the conflict. With great personal exertion?,
and with the expenditure of his own per
sonal weans, be formed, equipped and or
ganised the 4th Kegiment of North Caroli-
i Da Voluntoers, for the war. Far weeks he
I devoted to this noble Regitneot his uolir-
,ng exertions, lie superintended its equip
ment id tents, clothes and arms, and when
at length it left the State for the seat of j
war, it was thoroughly furnished, and no
one of the many ReeincnU prepared by I
North Carolina, for ths great conflict, waa ;
better qualified for itsiutie. In Col Kln- j
ER this Regiment had unbounded confidence j
and for bis person ths warmest affection.
These sentiments fatnrally sprung from i
his assiduous and disinterested attention to j
whatever related totbeir comfort and their
discipline. They had reached tbe theatre '
of war but a few days. They constituted j
p((rt of GeD jwHSgos-B diviaion-tbat
left wing which lore tbe brunt of tbe bat
tle and decided the fortunes of the day.
Bravely did Celonel FlsHtH and bia gal
lant Regiment ferform their doty. In the
thickest of the fight, at the head of his
Regiment, its aereoie leader was struck
(loan. He died aa a bero might wieh to
die. Glory casts its halo o'er hie grave
His country weep over ber eon while she
accepts tbe benefit of bis service. Nr.
FisHia was highly gifted by nature was
cultivated by education. In his civil ser
vice of tbe State he hsd been conspicuous
and useful. As a Legislator bo waa frank,
firm and liberal. As a politician, d-cidod
but tolerant. In private life, truthful,

A South Carolinian Killed by a
Railroad Car The Petersburg Express,
of Saturday, recorda the death of Private
J. C. Wrean, of the Catawba Light Infantry,
Oept. J. L Srait, of the Sixth Regiment
South Carolina Volunteers. Tbe unfortu
nate accident occurred about 1 o'clock on
Thursday night, at Johnson's Plain, six
miles beyond Resin's station, and about
sixteen mile from Petersburg, while gay
and light hearted bia company was coming
on to engage in the defence of Virginia
and the South. Mr. Wreun and a por
tion of. bis compsny were ridiog upon a flat
car attached to the train, he being seat
ed en the I'ont bench very near the edge
ef the car. Wearied and worn dona by
the fatigue of a long journey, he unconsci
ously fell Asleep, and while in that state,
aided, it is supposed, by a slight jar of tbe
train, he pitched forward and fell between
the two cars. Awakened by tbe fall, he
endeavored to sustain himself, but to no
use. Tbe ear passed over bia body, cutting
eff his right leg nesr the ktee, breaking
Lis left arm in two places, crusLiug the
shoulder, breaking his neck and otherwise
horribly mangling biro. Of course hi death
was immediate Mr. Wreun is represented
ss hating been a most exemplary young
man, corrrct in all bia habit., and upright,
honeet and manly in his character, lit waa
only twenty three years of ae. Ho was
the pride of the company, and po?ened
the full confidence of his officers and com
paeioas. He was froai Chetter District,
South Caroiioia, aud if area a molLer, broth
er aud two cistern.
What this late U. S Minister to Eng
land tiU Mr. Dallas converses very
unreservedly about tbe feeling of the British
Ministry toward this Government, lie he
iieved tbe Ministry to be botiile to us, aud
that Lord John Russell's early recognition
of tbe rebels as beliigrrenis was net a pre
nature declaration to be repented of here
after, but a deliberate policy to be adhered
to as fsr as it goes. He is disposed to be
lieve that the great arbiter is cotton- that
as the stock on hand will keep the llfljjhsh
mills employed until November, the litjiv
try will not openly countenance the rebel
lioa uutil it is a-eertaibed whether the new
erop is to bo exported or not. If we irun
ihu rebels and periait the Cw crop to be
exported, ail will be ssii-factory lo John
Bull ; if we fail to do so. snd John Bull has
to do without cotton, iLen some occeion
ill be found to get up a d fi'iculty and force
the blockade. If the war bere continues
until Noveii. ber, l'uil i,l keep tolerable
q'.iiet, makiog only an occasional roaring.
Hence, as tl.e time for fhirpiB.' tLe ri'w
crop spprosches, the questiuL of how Mu
land means le act wui be more clearly an
swersd. Mr. Palias tLn ks that if the Min
istry were to be too openly for the rebeliion
bow, rlxeter Hail won.d turn tiniu out
forthwith, while, unlets they msie t ij '
show of fsvoriri the Cotton Lords, tbuy
weu'd do the same thii'g ; so aa it is for
ofliee, after all, that tbey are contending,
their future policy will beju-t suen a they
may think the luott likely to insure to them
a continuance of power. He is of opiuion
that France and Kugland uiil purui an
identical policy witb repcut to us, be that
what it may. A Y Trhur.
Joun C. BbE' kinrilge, of Kentucky,
addressed Lincoln a Senate ou the l'Jtb
iiit. He concluded a lou and spirited
denunciation of the Abolition war as fallows :

bere last niht fioni Havana witb dispatch
es from Cori-ul hhufeldt to lb effect that j
the rebel steamer Sumter bad captured sev
en prists, and had tak' L them into Cien-j
fueoe, on the South side of the Island of
Cuba. Greet a c i i ity is apparent this mor !
ning about the harbor, i lie Niagara, Cru
sader are gcing at once to the reren. They
are taking in coal and water, and will leave
i tt.is afternoon io pursuit of the Confederate I
ate a in pirate. The greatest anxiety prevail
among our cflieers regarding this enemy in
our waters. W hiie the Jfrook ly n wss diss
injf off a British vesssl hovering at the
IV. lie, the Sumter suddenlr steamed out.
j The Lrooklyn saw tho mistake, but loo late
to intercept her escepo. The Sumter (late
havana) u a smsil but very fsst steamer.
As long as ber coal lasta she can evsde
most of our vessel of war in these ports.
ll is supposed that she is lying in wail for
a Califs rnia stesmer to supply ber as a
, pirize with money and coal. She is com
intitided by Rafael Semmes, lateacommao
dcr in tho United States Navy, resident of
ibe Listrict of Columbia. No very reliable
i account can be given of her armamens. Au
army cflicer just from Picken inforina me
that she waa reported to bave eight (is
poundera and one 32 pounder. But naval
: tOicera think sbe is not calculated to carrv
so heavy a weight of metal. It is agreed
; that with her speed and srmsment she will
' prove a formidable antagonist, and likely
cause us some trouble. A'. '. lleruld.
