Ray- The Newbern Cadet Company, which par
ticipated in the celebration here the Goth, re-
turn their thanks i'll the following handsome man.
Resolved, That the thanks of the Elm City Cadets
hereby rendered to the citizens of Charlotte for their
blindness and attention bestowed upon the delegation
of this Company, sent to represent us at the celebra
of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence,
May Goth.
Resolved, That highly appreciate the kindness
shown them by the Hornets Nest Rifle Company that
OCCASION and that will be highly grafed to recip
their kindness should they again favor the City
of Ems with visit.
Resolved, That while feel grateful to all the La
dies of Charlotte for their regard for Company, we
feel that under particular obligations to Mrs
Iawley, Mrs Winde and Miss Iebecca Elms, for their
valuable and beautiful presents which were so grace
fully presented and them that our recolec-
ton of their favors will be more lasting than the
presents themselves.
Resolved, That long an Elm City Cadet shall
have a home, and as long a heart beats beneath a
grey coat the citizens and soldiers of Charlotte shall
find home in both.
The last resolution speaks the right kind of sem
timents for the young ladies who were fascinated
by the fine appearance of the Cadets.

SOME DIFFERENcE-A correspondent of the
NeWoerry y. C.) Rising Sun proposes that the
citizens of Newberry district celebrate the 4th of
July by giving dinner to Gen. Bonham and Gov
hammond, for, says the writer 'as citizens Of this
glorious Republic we have every reason to cherish
fondly this anniversary of our nations birth" A
correspondent of the Winnsboro Register, on the
other hand, suggests that the day be observed by
fasting, humiliation and prayer.
The Columbia Carolinian very properly remarks
that it prefers the festival to the fast, and says
"dOctors may differ, but Notwithstanding, the Re-
public will continue to grow in stature and glory"
By all means let neighbors over the line
celebrate the 4th, and we hope, after while, they
will celebrate the Goth MAY, too

The first Annual meeting of the Southern Po-
biological Society will be held in Charlotte On the
Sd Thursday of August next 1t is highly desira-
BILE that it's members, and all others who take an
interest in fruit-growing, should attend at that
time, and assist in the promotion Of this useful en-
terprise We live in an age of progress and,
whilst other States moving actively in the mat
ter, it becomes "to be up and doing and to
enter the lists of honorable competition. 1t is
therefore earnestly requested Of all to up to
the contemplated gathering in August, and bring
with them samples of such Fruit as they may pos
sess 1t is expected that all good varieties of APP
PIES pears peaches, grapes, wild and domesticated
and other fruits will be exhibited, and their excel
lences tastefuUy pointed out. In short time
many fruits will be coming into the rpening stage,
and where specimens cannot be kept in the natural
state, it might be well to preserve them in of
the usual modes (by sugar spirits) that they
may be had on exhibition. All new Seeding
rieties will be particularly acceptable; and any
facts on the Diseases or other branch of Pomoogy,
are respectfully solicited Western Carolina has the
proper soil and climate for in this depart
ment of science. Energetic, united, persevering
effort is all that is necessary to produce the hap
piest results. Actuated by these considerations,
it is hoped all will bear the Importance of the meet
ing in mind, and aid the promotion of its objects
by their presence, their counsel and their fruits.

FROST IN JUNE-The Statesville Express says
there frost in the upper part efIredcli coun
ty on the night of the 9TH of June, which destroy
ed pumpkin and melon vines and materially i'll
jurcd the corn and Irish potato crops.
The Yorkville Enquirer says that at the same
time there was frost in the Bethel neighborhood
in that District, sufficiently heavy to kill some of
the cotton.
1t was almost cold enough here, about the same
time, for frost.

THE PROspECT.-The editor of the Rutherford
ton Enquirer, speaking of his travels through
Rutherford county, says:
"Peaches and apples We noticed growing
in abundance and other fruits were in fourishing
condition, Especially the persimmon and whortle-
berry, those great necessaries of life in eastern N
Carolina where it is said the boys wear pegs in
their trousers they off their buttons climb
ing the trees for sim@aoms.) The wheat crop looks
very fine, and We predict that large amount will
be made notwithstanding the injuries by frost and
rust. Corn looks very well, and if only properly
cultivated great deal might be made for the pur-
pose of home consumption besides what is wasted
for bread We learn that is quite scarce in
the northern and eastern part Of the county, and
that it is almost impossible to get bushel to still
up into whiskey and for other accessory purposes"

THE BANK OF NORTH CARoLINA.-It will be
seen by advertisement in another column that a
meeting of the Stockholders in the Bank of North
Carolina is to be held in Raleigh on Wednesday
the goth ofJuy, for the purpose of organizing the
corporation. In summing up last week the amount
of capital subscribed, an error occurred in our
figures. 1t should have been s. ,024, 600 instead
Of s., 600. Since then we have heard of ad-
ditional amounts having been subscribed, but
how much we do not know.
