Loxnox, Sept. 10. The labor' troubles
are inereasing. The Retlford tiew mills
at Lehigh have closed, and seven hundred
operatives are idle., Tho Preston Spin
ning and Manufacturing Compauy run
ning 45,(HK) spindles ami 750 looms, have
commenced to run on the short time sys
tem. There is not the least indication of
a settlement) of , the ; present strike. At
Moseley the number .f strikcis is increas
ing daily, and by the end , of this week it
is': 'expected" that with two 'exceptions
eJeiy mill iu the district will be closed.
The oiwrative. spitiuers of : Hyde will
meet shortly to discuss the reduction of
wagesand decide whether there shall be
a Stoppage of the mills throughout the
whole district. Quito a panic has been
created in Glassup by the air'oiincemeut
that the Sommers mill, employing three
thousand hamls, will shortly be c o e I.
Wood Rros.'s mills, eniployiug an equal
number of hands, are about to start ruu
ningun short time. . As Glassup is en
tirely dependent upon the .cotton trade
all t'lasses of the community express the
cob tern regarding the condition of affairs.
It is not thought that the operatives of
Oldham will resist the reduction of
wages. ,

exports of wheat and wheat flour from the

100,000,000 bushels. "About three-fourths
of that quantity found its way to Great

To the Editor the Charlotte Observer. ' "
It was my privilege to attend the firs'
court held by the newly-appointed judge,
Hou. John A. Gilmer, in Davie. His
course on the bench was. closely watch
ed and scrurinized by the public. The
Governor, having a large number of emi
net lawyers from whom to fill tho ap
pointment, public expectation demanded
tliat the appointee should not be wantiug
iri 'any of the. qualities essential, to make
a iirood nisi nrtus indyt.
I - J , O . . " , i- "'1,1
'jnuge uumer presides witn great ease
aiid dignity,' and is" free from the usual
embarmssnieuts which most young judges
labor under. Ueis.qu;ck ,and correct in
his rulings onthe points of evidence, aris
ing, and clear and full in his charges to
the iuryi He possesses the rare faculty of
making himself al why s clear to the dullest"
mind,jand theaccuracy and clearness with
which he crannies with and decides lezal
principles met the approbation ofthe entire
bar. jThese qualities alone caw and never
tiU con8titntethe posse Bor h goo I nwpn
judce. To these must be added an amia
ble temer, au abundance of patience,
goml judgmeul, and a sufficiency of cour
tesy. 'Judge Gilmer, in thoopinion of all
who saw him at Davie Superior Court,
unites all these essentials, nnd they are
so' admirably blended in him as to, make
his friends believe that his. appointment
by the Governor was a most excellent'
one. Many of his father's bid clients
thought tlieyCouhl sea in -him many of
the ciininoteibtics aud qualities rwlach
enfleared the late Hon. J. A. Gilmer toi
the; people of Ins Sfafe. I thiuk it evi-,
deiit from the! maimer in w hich Judge
Giliner has commenced his judicial ! ca
reer that, at, do distant day he will be re
garded as amongst tho, very best judges
upon whom 'the erminp' has' been cast.
He evinces' mieh charirrin theaidminis
tra tion of the jrriniinat law, ahd it is evi-
dent t If at, hia jjudguients are.trtenipeied

a rarreier of usefulness to' the . State and
