Charlie smiled at the little lady's half indignant expression, and told her not to mind it, 'it was very natural in the kind-hearted old gentleman,' and then the two set vigorously to work planning a campaign, by wThich they should secure af sanction to their en gagement, which had been already of five months standing. Charles was a young man with good business pros pects, quite able to support a wife in very comfortable aiyle, and with his industrious, steady habits, bade fair to become an honorable and prosper- ous citizen. Indeed, he seemed in ev- cry respect the man that, caretul, pru- IT jTTl .111 1 . . .T rtent Lncie nos onia De Pieav;ca with; as he was already well known to him in business matters. So it was, all decided that next day after dinner, a time when the most of men are usually in a good'humor with Charles should boldly call on the dreaded uncle in his own den of a li brary, and honestly open up the weigh ty matter ; make full confession of his love for his lovely neice, and wind up with asking the trifling favor of her hand inimarriage. The mode of ope ration was pondered seriously by the young man, for the next twenty-four hoursvand anabundance of schemes contrived then abandoned, until at last, perplexed-and half vexed with his own stupidity, when such a treasure was at stake, he resolved to throw overboard all his fine rhetoric and tell the plain unvarnished tale in the simplest and most straight forward manner. Per haps we may learn the success of his Application by attending a little fami ly meeting between the uncle and niece on'the evening of the next day. J 'So, Miss Fanny, you have been en couraging this young chap to come and ask me to give you away in mar riage? A precious couple of chick-; ens, 'pun my word !' Poor Fanny could hardly see that an answer was expected to this flatter ing remark, so that she only looked down and folded away very diligently at her. crumpled cambric handkerchief. 'So the young man thinks it would be, a fine plan to take possession of si)me of Uncle Enos's loose change, and maybe anticipates doing him the honor of going into partnership with him ; eh, Fanny V 'Not any such thing, sir,' said the little beauty, reddening indignantly ; 'Charlie does not expect or wishadow ery with me. All he asks is your ap proval ;' and the bright eyes looked down again on the tiny plaits laid in the handkerchief. 'My approval of your jumping off the dock into the East River ! that wrould be just bout as sensible. Rather more-sjHoidd say, than for that pre cious young gentleman to ruin his prospects for life by setting up house keeping with a little school miss,, who cannot even make a biscuit. What earthly thing do you know, pussy, a bdut keeping house ? You would ruin blaster Charles in one year.' 'If I am so very extravagant, uncle, I should think you would be glad to have me off your hands. 'There, now, you know I did not mean any such thing. You do not ask me for half the things I wish you would ; Uncle Enos isn't stingy to you, that you know.

V e cannot won- de-r at the increlulity of persons re- State, when so many of our own citi- zons meludingsome ot the oldest and , most influential have been afflicted in the same way. And, even now, we are sorry to say, there remains a tim- i(1 few who, with the glorious Past 'anil j the more glorious and promising Pre sent to convince them, doubt the Fu ture and lend aid and encouragement to those abroad who envy us, to decry all that appertains to us. Although this growth has been so r should it not grow quite as rapidly to still more magnificent proportions, there would have been greater cause of wonder, than that she has grown to be what she is. Many of these advan tages have already been enumerated in former articles which Ave have giv en, bearing upon the interests of the city. Being identified and interwoven with its progress in every respect, those favorable points are almost neeesnQri- iv reproduced wnenever we treat ot i tlie progress of Atlanta. Cities have grown up in all ages at the great gateways leading to and from all nations, and on all 'the-great 'high ways through countries. At the junc tions and mouths of rivers, even at and Liverpool, Glascow, &c, in Great Britain, illustrate the general princi ple.

He j ar.A uv,yuiumi uiivu iu um. ui vui utnti i hotels, and before he left, the city had ! run up small bills at all three of the Hotels in our city. He was a man of j insinuating address, and could "ring in with almost any body. During his sojourn in pur city he borrowed small sums from several, bought a suit of clothes on credit from Messrs. Rosen thal & Poole, and ordered and had cut a fine suit at Mr. Thomas Callan's tai- Joring establishment. A gentleman hvho had seen the rascal in Charlotte county, Va., some time in March last, and there learnt something of his char acter, cautioned several of our citizens against him, and this coming to his ears, he armed himself with a,bludgeon, and taking with him two or three other men into whose friendship he had in gratiated himself, starfed Out -in pur suit of the gentleman who had exposed him. The gentleman hearing that he was being sought after by the scamp, and apprehending that so desperate a villian might attempt to assassinate him at night, he took out a peace war rant against him and had him arrested, but finally withdrew the complaint up on condition he would leave the city forthwith. So he left the city the same day, going in the direction of Hender son. This was on Wednesday last. It was fortunate for him that he left so opportunely, for on Saturday, a gen tleman, Capt. Geo. W. Edmonds, ar rived here in search of him. " It seems ton more extensively than he did here. There he represented himself as Robt. E. Harvey, and professed to be. the son of Mr. Harvey, President of the Richmond and Danville Railroad In Wilmington, we learn from Capt. Ed monds, he put up at the Carolina Ho tel, and registered his name as "Robt. E. Harvey, of Richmond, Va." Capt. E., who found the impostor at the said Hotel on his arrival there, and seeing him apparently familiar with every body abort the hotel, being a stranger himself, supposed that Frazer, alias Harvey, was well known to the com munity, and that he was - a wealthy young man, trom the liberal manner , in which he treated to champagne, kc. Frazer, alias Harvey, wras not long in introducing himselfto the Captain, and soon after doing so asked a loan of ten dollars, which the Captain let him have. Shortly after, Frazer asked the Captain to take a wajk.with him, and taking Captain E. to' Messrs. Hines & Domler's tailoring establishment, show ed him a fine suit of clothes he was having made, and generously recom mending the tailgrs, advised theCap tain to give them an order himself. The Captain accordingly gave them an order for a vest. To make along story short, the con summate rascal succeeded in bleeding the generous-hearted and unsuspecting sailor Captain to the tune of about $100, and then gave him the slip. When the Captain found he had van ished, he went in every direction in pursuit of him, to Wei don, Newbern, &c, and finally came to Raleigh, where he learned that he had probably, gone to Henderson. The undaunted Captain pursued him thence and found him in the Hotel, but ere he could lay hands on him, the wily imposter -'darted thro' the back door,' and escaped his pursu er. While in Wilmington, we learn, he forged a check on Mr. Fremont, the Superintendent of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, but the broker to whom he presented it, suspecting it was not genuine, refused to cash it. We understand that this man Fra zer, alias Harvey, has a captivating address, dresses well, and but for his insufferable impudence would pass for a gentleman. He is something of a musician, and a good conversationalist; professes to have been a lieutenant in the, navy, and takes gVeat pleasure in showing a bullet hole in his right arm and a scar on his right, or leftside, which he says he received in some en casement. He is about' 5. feet 11 in- ches in height, of fair complexion, and generally keeps his lace clean shaved. Raleigh Register. The Strongest Man in the World.

Instead of widening the breach which hff s hitherto divided the two great par ties of;th country ; instead of laying aught to the charge of a brother, or exasperating him with a rehearsal of thejw consist encics into which his youth, his inexperience or his zeal might have . led htm, it is the duty of Southern men, of all parties, to cultivate a more fraternal feeling, foster a closer union, anj ag hrother? bound together by v r their c0 gfltutional rights, to stand ur$ v , - , km',n Jt-0 lfirt . i rP,n .low V,oa fb Am men to talk of parties.

These are the dark days of the Republic, the gloom of which surpasses even the gloom of the American Revolution, when j stouter hearts than oura quailed amid the con flict. - Fanaticism a fanaticism worse than that which deluged Franpe .with" the blood of thousands has taken pos session of one portion of our peaceful and happy country, and already the blood of innocent men has been shed, on the soil of that State which gave birth to the immortal Washington. That soil has been polluted by sworn rebels against our Country's laws, en gaged in inciting and encouraging a f civil and a servile war, while Senators and Members of Congress, in the Nor thern States, have openly and repeat edly expressed their sympathies for , the rebels. The Government has been sit, at defiance ; treason and the doc trines of a "higher law-irrej)ressiblo conflict" have invaded the very store house of the nation, and, with the as sassin's war-hoop, have frightened the peaceful and unsuspecting citizen from his mid-night slumbers, to find himself the captivo-of3& armed insurrection. These are truths which the history of the recent past but too sadly con firms, and are, we fear, the jshadows that indicate the troubles of thp future. Now, what is the duty of the South? What is the duty of all law-abiding, law-loving, Union-preserving jncn.? It is plain. For the preservation of-the Union, and for the sake of jthe laws which protect our rights, ourproperty and our persons, it becomes the duty of the South to forget past differences, bury their old party feuds, aid wheel into a solid column, determined to do or die in the cause, of Constitutional equality and in.defcnce of Constitution al rights. j This is no time for sectional quarrels this is no time for local broils, nor is it any time for brothers bound togeth er by the same great interests, to be at variance. We must be a unit. .The South must forget tlie minor (differen ces which once marked thei dividing line between the two great parties of the .country, and rally to thei support of, those true merij of the Nprth who have thus far braved -the storm of fan aticism and risked their all ferj the sake of the Union and the Constitution. There are conservative men at the North, anoV with them we should act, whether we be democrats, aimerican, or whig, for, if the Union is preserved it will be the result of the combined wisdom of Northern conservatism and Southern unanimity. Dem.Prcs', Melancholy Accident, . i. Through the kindness of a friend who . received a - lettc frpm Prospect Hall, Bladen county, we are enabled to give the following particulars of the sad ac cident referred to yesterday f It appears that at day-light Satur day last, John J. Gilmore, sob of Win. L. Gilmore, aged about 21 yjsars, and a son of W. N. Whitted, aged 13 or 14, started out hunting; at 12 d'clock, being tired, they laid down in a shade with their guns by them, and! hearing some rustling among the leaves, both started up suddenly, taking! hold of their guns and perhaps cocking, them. As they rose young Whitted'g gun fir ed the whole load entering (rilmore's stomach and passing up towards his left shoulder and lodged there. This was the only testimony given to the t jurysof inquest, and wfrs the declara- 1 uoni 01 Jonng trmiore Detore nis death. which happened a short tine after dark; his extreme suffering caused the examination to be brief. r , I . The writer says: 'It is n-dt exactly known how the accident occurred, but they were evidently some steps apart." Gilmore was thought at first to havo had hold of the gun, but from the scat- j tering of the shot, it must fiavebeen otherwise. There were over 2 distinct shot holes. The iurv rendered the ver. ! diet of death, by the accidental dis- charge of a inn in the hands of James McK. Whittcd.
