Must be true, is an old proverb And it is act
beyond dispute that all tell one story about the
almost miraculous cures performed by Goes Dys.

Dyspepsia of long standing will surely give way
to its curative powers. Indigestion, sick head

exist when Goes Dyspepsia Cure s used. We

A FLYING MAcHINE.-On Saturday
afternoon last an attempt was made in
New York to navigate the air, by DR..
Solomon Andrews, the inventor and con.
structor of the Flying Ship" accompan-
led by three other gentlemen. The as
cent from large enclosed yard at the
corner of Greene and Houston streets
took place about three O'Clock in the af-
ternoon, ana as Inc order 10 eur
loose" was given, the ship, with its living
freight, rose rapidly from the earth. AT
the very start the rudder ropes became
entanglei in some portion of the rigging
which for some time prevented the appa-
ratus from being under proper control,
and the balloon drifted with the wind for
considerable distance. AT last, howev-
er, these difficulties were obvated and the
machine was repeatedly turned in differ
ent directions, and, crossing East river,
passed out of sight. The rate IF speed
was from twenty to twenty-five miles per
hour, and the greatest altitude reached
was about two thousand feet. The ex-
pertinent was not wholly success from
the fact that there were discovered mani
fest defects in its construction; the car
was too short and the rudder too light
which prevented the machine from being
run against the wind, as was originally in
tended. The voyagers finally landed near
the village of Astoria, L. l., and reached
New York late in the evening. DR.. An
drews and his companions are all satisfied
that, by making some tri1ing alterations
in the rigging of the apparatus, they will
be able to make Roadway against any or
binary breeze, and they are all sanguine
as to the final success of their plan. AS
soon as the requisite alterations are com
pleted another trial win be made.
DR.. Andrews machine is different il
several important particulars from the or
binary balloon. 1t Is composed of two
long, lemon-shaped gas receivers, floating
horizontally, and surrounded bya strong
netting, which supports the car below
The car used in this experimental voyage
was eight feet long and two feet wide
The inventor claims that the alteration o
weight from the rear to the front of thi
car, or the reverse, will give the balloon
the inclination required TO move it agains
the wind.

its predecessors this year, is of extra size-the
first half of the volume containing AGO large pag-

also contains about $50 original engrayings of a
pleasing and instructive character. The publish

100000, we learn, could enable them to furnish
such an immense amount of reading matter, and
so many costly engravings at the marvelously low

The Charlotte Mail.

We have bad aregulsr mail, semweekly,
from Charlotte since the first Of January but
unfortunately the mail bag has pnifornily come
in empty. Surely the Post Master in Charlotte
cannot be aware that there is now regular
line from Chsrio tie to this place via Monroe,
and he perhaps sends our mail OH some other
route. The few exchanges which We have 70.
ceived this year have been sent US by hand
from Camden and Chester, where they had ac'
cumuated. Even Charlotte papers have reach.
cd US in that way.
All mails intended for this place should for
the Pres"t be sent to Charlotte, as no line
from any other quarter has yet been opened.
Our exchanges will confer favor by extending
this notice, and the attention OF Post Masters
is respectfully called to it.

The New System.

The business Of making contracts between
the whites and freedmen has been very brisk
for the last week. The Headquarters Of the
commanding officer il literally besicged with
whites and blacks, on this and similar usiucss,
from All early hour in the morning until ATE in
the afternoon. The negroes now msnifsst as
much concern and zeal in lookin z out for home.
and hireins themselves, As they. = short time
ago, evinced in tr wing to set up on their own
account. Christmas aud New year having
passed away and ssthing having hsppcsed,
they see end feel the nscosstty Of seeking en.
ployment As . means Of avoiding starvation.
We underst and that, in q general way, whers 9
the negroes have entered int conua acts ar.
settled down under the new system, they have
made fair begian,ngs-beue er than the people
have generally anticipated. With proper laws
