TThe same might be said by many persons in
this city: houses are daily and nightly visited
by unknown parties, who generally take some
keepsake along with them; and in some cases
recently burglars have been known 10 ne con- con
cealed all day in houses. No wonder, II ner-
yous persons should no feel safe at home.
Mr.. Plowden should call the police.]
The Increase of capital advertised for by
the naL;eual bank OF Chester, says the Re-
porter, has neen nearly subscribed, only sl3,-
600 being low lacking to make up the amount
desired-slC00 900. This amount Of capital, 1t
is supposed, will be amply sufficient to afford
all the necessary banking facilities needed at
this point for moving the cotton crop ana
other purposes. The Institution, we are giad 10
learn, is doing large and Increasing ousl-
ness. Liberal accommodation has been ex-
tended TO both the planting and mercantile
community, no applications having been re-
fused when any sufficient security was OF
fered.
An Irishman named Peter McGovern, says
the Chester Reporter, was run over by the.
down passenger train at Chester on yesterday
morning. We learn. that he got aboard the
train at Lewis's Turnout, seven .ailes above
Chester. under the. influence of liquor, and, In
attempting to get of the train at Chester. fell
between thee The train passed over both
of his legs above the knee, crushing them TO
pieces. He died In aho'G two hours.
From the sane paper we also learn tnas an
order was received 'hcre on Friday last trt N
department hekSaa'NJters at Louisville, Ken
tucky, for the troCp .Jf cavalry at this post to
proceed at once to Sntherfordton, North Caro-
lima. In obedience !aernto, the troop under
the command of Captain V. Z. Hart, about
seventy strong, moved off on Sunday morn
ing, taking the road via Blairsville as the most
direct route. This order was occasioned by
the small circumstance OF some MY dlsgnisea
men having gone into Rutherfordton about
ten days, or rather nights, ago, and having
gone through Republican printing office, put:
Ting II IN such condition that another paper
would not soon Issue from its press. They
also at the same time took out a Mr.. Justice,
an ex.member Of the Legislature, and gave
him a pretty severe thrashiDg. The departure

The Chester Reporter, of the 29th ultimo,
publishes statement of the number OF bales
Of cotton shipped from Chester on the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad from
October, 1869. 10 the 9th of June, 1871: From
October /, .ls69,.to September 30, 1870, lG29a
bales; from October ls1o e June q, lsal, a
this statement we would infsr. that the cotton
crop Of this county for 1870 must have been
more than fifty per cent. greater Than that OF
1869. The fact that the North Carolina Central
Road allowed certain drawback on cotton
shipped from this point that came from the
west of Broad River no doubt swelled, 10 q
certain extent, the receipts OF this depot, and
would, therefore, to that extent, render the
statement an unsafe guide as to the produc-
ton OF this county. This increase, we think,
was. however, more than counterbalanced by
the cotton that was hauled from this county
to other markets, in consequence of the local
rates charged by the road not allowing the
merchants here to bid as literally as the mer.
chants of Charlotte and other places could al.
ford to do.n
