CHARLorTE.-Allthep papers of our neghboring
city speak of the immense amount of business
doing there at this time. We are glad to hear
of it and hope Charlotte may soon become what
all her friends desire, the largest inland city in the
South.
BY the way, we have found ont why cotton is
going to Charlotte from the neighborhood of this
place and Cheraw. Many Of our, people are
obliged to purchase corn, and at the present time
Charlotte is their best market for getting a sup
ply. Hence, not wishing to send up their wagons
"emptv-handed," when sending for corn, they put
on bale or two to pay for it.
Hope our friend, the Democrat will not get
angry at til is expose Hcdesboro Augus
Ofcourse we will not get angry. Small favors
thankfully received, larger ones in proportion Our
friend Of the Argus knows that Charlotte is not only
a good Corn market but good market for anything.

Mr. Hodne't took the same view. and said if the

cannot have any influence in preventing extrava-
gance in the National Government. can re-
quire and enforce economy in our State Govern
ment. We have been calling attention tn this
matter for some time past, and advised the ab"l-
i>hment of useless and Improbable Offices, but
up to the present time one has co-operated
with aud no move has been made to feonofpize
in State matters. except the bill introduced by
Mr. Waugh i'm the House of Commons to abolish
the office of State Ge"logi-t. But the Raleigh
