We were standing 011 the square with thousands of others, lisleiihiK to Vance, Wulker, Hend ricks and others about 11 o'clock at it Ik lit. when our attenion was di rected to a moving proeensioii from the direction of the camps headed by a band of music, said band composed of a 15 flat horn . nd a base dium. As tley come in sight we discovered the horn blower to be a gentleman of this city, the iuitialsof wh&e name is romp llryant; the drummer wa a Richmond Howetzcr man Frank Stronnch commanded thecom pany. I'ugh Haywood and a Wil mington soldier formed the first tile, the aecoiid was a fireman and an Ara tillery.iian, the th : ril was a Liht Infantxyman and a citizen, and soon to the number of about forty was made up. They were armed with nworda, sticks, fence rails, pailings, guns, firemen's axea, A: The c-mi -puny iael the stand unout twenty feet and halted, and came to a front. An order was given for dres 'paradk,, ranks were opened, and at the com mand, officers to the front, every man ( except three stepjed out. 1 lie Cen tennial pole was saltitcil and the lino of march resumed through the city to the amusement of everybody , the little negroes especially.

The File Dej aJinivnt, compoaid of the Reacue Steam Fire Co. no 1 and Hook and Ladd.r No 1, con solidated, and under the command of Foreman R. H. Rradley of the Res cue left the city Monday night. The consoldiatiou of the two was occas ioned by the apjw)intmei)t of Fore man T. L. Iovo of the Hook and Ladder to the jiosilioii of Assistant Cheif f'ngineer, by Chief Knirliu-er Clawson, lKth of whom accompan ied the exjK-ditiou.and were supreme in command. The companies arrived in Charlotte in due time where they were init cordially welcomed bytho Chail itte Fire I)e.irtuiHitt. and es corted to comfortable quarters. No sooner had the Rescues reached their quarters then they were over whelmed by an avalanche of "Hor tieta" and tbe reunion of thco old friend- wai really a pleaasnt siht to behold. For several years past there has existed between the Char lotte 'Hornets" and our Rescue," a feeling nearer akin to that of brothers than mere friends. It is not to be wondered nt then that the meeting should have been n joyful one. The 'Tioneers" of Charlotte were ;i'o iqually as attentive to our lioys and nothi.ig was left undone by cither company to contribute to the pleasure and comfort of the Raleigh Fire iK-p.irlment. fore the parade on Thursday a number of ladies of Chailotle came to th Firemen's headquarters ami with flowers, evergreens ami hornets neMs proceeded to decorate the .-teamer Rescue. On the parr.de the appearance of the company, with its handsomely decorated engine, was u special ob ject of admiration, and elicited uiuch favorable comment from bystanders Kath company was presented with handsome bouquets before tl e'r departure, cooked meals and liquid refreshments were sent them by the ladies, und no Ccntenuiaiiils left Charlotte more highly elated with their kind treatment by the citi.e:is tlwin the Rescue and Hook and Lad der.

LET THE EAST TAKE II LI. .The early history of Chowan couu-, ly.fcaya Wheeler, "is full of incident,' and with a biography of its distin guished citizens presents an untir ing Hold of itself for a volume of In terest and information." It will be remembered by those familiar yith; our Suite history the tradition of the ladies' tea party of Eden ton which i versified by several authors. When the tea was taxed-by the English Parliament a meeting of the ladies of Edenton was called, and firm and fixed resolves were passed, thatall the tea then In their posses sion should be brought to the meet lug the next day. It was done, and all the lea, (every leaf) was brought In, and the ladies in a hotly marched to the beautiful hay that encircles the town and threw it to the waters. We merely mention this circum stance to show the patriotic spir it of the Ivist In the dark and bloody days of the Revolution. They too have a record as bright anil glo rious as that of any section of our good old com luon wealth, as tho sub joined ' Declaration of Indepen dence" by the vestry of fct. Paul's Church at Edenton, on the l?th of June, 1770 will show. The original instrument is now on file in the ves try of the church. As this declara tion was made fourteen days before the National Declaration, and that too in North Carolina, we think its Centeiiuial Anniversary should be approj-iutely celebrated. What say our Ensleru friends ou the subject. The following is a true icrbud copy of the original Declaration : J'utnu t jrom tht: Pariah Iirg'mtcr of St. J'aui' Churchy Kdnaton, Xorth t 'tirolina.

The fol lowing applications for commuta tion of death sentences are on file in the Governor's Office : Ruben Wilkinson forthe murder of Council Scott from Beaufort coun ty; sentenced to be hanged August oth. John Outlaw, col., for burglary, from Persou county; sentenced to be hanged Juno 4th. Cornelius Williams, Austin Hill, and Alfred W-ilker for the murder of Samuel Piesson, from North ampton, re-sentenced last week. In this case, Cornelius Williams has madeafull confession, in which he states that Austin Hill was not one of the party but Ora Austin vjbb. It was shown in the evidence that Mr. Pressou stated in his dying decla ration that "Old Austin" was one of the parties. It is reasonable to sup pose from these facts that the Gover nor will favorably consider the appli cation of Hill. "Another Soul Ma he Happy." Our friend and townsman Mr. James A. Rriggs was married in the city of Wilmington yesterday even ing to Miss Lula E. Hall, a daugh ter of J. W. Hall, Esq., of that city. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. B.

There will he a called meeting of the Merchants' Protective Associa tion at SJ o'clock this evening, at No. G Hargett Street. Retailers gen erally invited. pRoaitEssiNO. Work on tbe Ral eigh & AugUBta Air Line is being pushed rapidly forward. Ten miles, of the track has been laid beyond Sanford, and on tbe 1st of July the cars will run to Carthage Station. ,Tiik Wounded Artillerymen. A telegram was received -from Char lotte yesterday announcing the fact that both Messrs. Williams and Bingham, of the Raleigh Light Ar tillery, are doing well, being enabled to walk about their rooms. In this connection we should state that we were in error yesterday morning in saying that Col. Thos. M. Holt, of Haw River, contributed $50 toward, the funi for the benefit of these dis abled gentlemen. Col. H. contribu ted $70, and in tho name of the Ar tillery Company, we thank him for this kindness. A Centenntal Joke. Our friend Parker, of the firm of Parker, Barbee it Latta, went to the Centennial. In company with Messrs. Bingham and A vera he sauntered about the busi ness houses of the Centennial city and was soon recognized by a Charlotte merchant, who met our fiiends cor dially and kindly offered his servi ces to show them around. Parker took the lead and the first house visited was Messrs. Wittowsky, Uintels & Co., dry goods house, the largest in the State. The party looked around and seemed well pleased with the establishment, though essaying a remark about Tucker's Iron frout. This way, gentlemen, said theChar lottee and Brem, Brown A Co.'s mag nificent establishment, equal in size to the former, wa sinterviewed. Par ker's eyes dilated somewhat at the sight, and again he suggested to his conductor that Creech's Marble Hall was no little concern. A Grocery and Commission House was rest visited. Parker seemed wonder stricken as he looked upon the space of almost an acre within the building. The"Conteunial man" saw that he had somewhat aroused the Ire of Parker by exciting his city pride and with a playful smile, re marked "I can show you quite a number of houses in the city much larger than this." This was too much for Parker. Though he had been ominously silent and veryquiet for the past few minutes, yet he turned quickly to his Charlotte friend and in an excited tone said: "Now, coiisound it, shokV me your t-tale House, will you." This broke up the rounds. I For the Dally New.-t. C entennial Day in Chatham Mcsms. Editors : Simultaneous with the booming of cannon and the grand pyrotechnic and military dis plays at Charlotte on the 20th, the citizens of this place repaired to the banks of the Haw to celebrate the Ceuteutiial of that immortal day. It was an enjoyable holiday. The la dies lent their charms and graces, ami the brass band and base ball clubs added variety to the occasion. The cares and business of every day were forgotten. Lawyers, mera chants, farmers all closed their business in honor of North Carolina's proud laurels gained by the bold stand of her Mecklenburg sons. In this happy gathering on the banks of the Old Haw we met At waters, By n urns, Cleggs, Thomp sons. &c. names inseparable from the history of Chatham County. The attraction of the day was de cidedly the speech of M. Q. Waddell Esq., who, by invitation was the orator of the occasion. There seems to be a happy historic vein flowing in the Waddell family. It is exem plifitHi in the Congressman from the 3rd Distiict a neohew to our friend, and well did our orator bear up the reputation. With a little legal biaz he began his speech : ' 'State of North Carolina upon relation of the Meck lenburg Declaration, against the United States and Thomas Jeffer son." He proceeded to prove the genuineness of the Mecklenburg Declaration hy extracts from contem poraneous history, the declarations of Lord Cornwallis, Hooj er, Hughes and others, and the letter of the royal Gov. Martin and others. He excori ated Jefferson for his pilfering from the Charlotte document, and after wards contemptously denying its authenticity. He eulogized Hooper highly, and emphatically denied Jefferson's charge of toryism. On the whole it was a rare treat, abounding in historical reminiscen ces and pleasing anecdotes. We shall read with pleasure your description of the Charlotte celebra tion. In conclusion I would state our county Convention to nominate del egates to the Constitutional Conven tion will soon meet; and, apropos of the material we expect to send, lean safely mention the ame of Hon. John Manning. More anon. Ypurs, Pittsboro, Vlay 8. C a While stopping over night at a farm house in Missouri a traveller was astonished to see his hostess walk up to her husband about every fifteen minutes and box his ears or give his hair a pull. Iu the morning the guest, seeing the woman alone, asked an explanation of her strange couduct, aud her reply was ; "You see, stranger, me and the old man has been fighting' for ten years to see who shall possess this branch, and I have jest got him cowed, but if I should let up on him for a day he would turn on me again, aud .my work would all go for nothing. A Chicago shirt dealei has given up coaxing and bullying the public, and desparingly announces on a pla card, "Buy, or I will bust." ' THE CAPTIVE III MM I NU BIRD ri'he Tourist.

Boston, May 23, A horrible mur der was perpetrated in this city this evening. Mabel H. Young, aged five years, who with her widowed mother, rosided at 50 East Chester park, this afternoon in company with an aunt, attended the Sunday school anniversary exercises of War ren avenue Babtist church. On coming out of the church, at 3:30 o'clock the aunt remained in the vestibule about ten minutes con ver sing with some friends, and ou star ting home missed the child, who a few minutes before was at her side. At first it wassnpposed she hadgone back into the church, but when she was not found, and persons outside declared she had net come out, the aunt became alarmed, and search wa commenced at once. About 4 o'clock some ladies at an open window across the street heard faint cries of a child apparently, from the church lower. There also was crett commotion among the doves t iat swarmed iu and out of the hel try. Home young men who had join ed the search started at once to a O nd the tower: They found tne ..oornn from the organ loft locked, but on gaining an entrance were fctrticU to see nesti blood, upon toe floor and steps leading up to the next lauding. They also found a strip of board covered with blood at one cud, and heard low mournings from above. Ascending Ja long, steep flight of stairs, and raising a scuttle which re sisted the strength of a strong man, tliey found the mangled body of the child lying near theedgeof thescut tle as though it had been carried up the steps and thrown down there. From the top of her head, which was broken in, blood and brains were slowly ooziug, while the cose was crushed in, and face terribly mangled. She was carried to her residence and surgeons at once sum moned, who pronounced the case hopeless, and her death a question of but a few hours at the fartherest. Thos. Piper who has been sexton of the church for about a year, was soon after arrested, and is now con fined at the chiefs otlice. I le was en gaged at work about the church, but his suspicious maimer a id his deni al that he had the keys, when the two keys fitting the doors to the tow er weretaKen from his person, points strongly to him as the party. He is a dark, heavy-set man, abjut twenty-six years old, and has once before been under suispicion of murder, but was discharged for want of a suf ficient evidence. Scarcely three-quarters of an hour elapsed from the time the child came out of the vestibule of the church until she was found in a dying condition. How she was en ticed away and for what motive has not transpired. That queer jury iu Iowa which ac quitted Rankin the other day was composed of six Democrats and six Republicans. Every 1 ne of them was moved by the appeal to his sym pathies which the defendant's coun sel made. It it a question, though, whether nicely-balanced political juries are an improvement on the old style. A Bkain Dkstkoyino Malady. That ins inn a. or inability t sleep, has become very prevalent of late years, is sulQciently evidenced by the fact that numberless remedies have been introduced within the last decaae specially intended for its cue, and tbat new Mjdatives are coulinu illy cropping up. But no niediclDai agent has ho widely andclearlv established Itsciaims asage-.ains BOporlno as Mostetter's Sto mach Kilters. That it lemoves this brain destroying inability far more 1 flectu ally than the bromides, chlorals and valerlau ates in use, is not 10 be wondered at wuen we consider tint such drugs act only on tbe brain, which is not the source !' the evil, while the Bitiers rectify the alimenta ry dialarbancea which originate it.
