Bradstreet has telegraphed that it was a
mistake but the publication has not been
without deleterious effect, and Hall, with
his lawyer, has the matter under legal

A negro named Anderson Nicely was
arrested near Charlotte for stealing chick
ems. Deputy Sheriff F. NJ. Bisaner started
to Charlotte with him at night and on the
way the negro, who was tied, undertook
to escape. In the scufae the officer shot

Bro. Caldwell is not an orator, but when
anything is to be said complimentary of
or in defence of, his friends, of his State,
or of his coutry when patriotism is in
demand, and as a writer of humor or
pathos, then it is that we see a peer of the
