PUUl.l MKEFINQ IN DAVID;30N COUNTY.
j?OH THE OBSERVER.
A meeting of a portion of the citizens of David
son County was held at Thcmasville, oa Monday
afternoon, March 14th, I»64, to consider the
propriety of taking some stepn to supply the va
cancy occa.sioned in Congress, from the 7th Dis
trict, by the death of Hon. S. II. Christian:
On motion, Dr. R. VV Thomas was called to
the chair, anti J. L. Lee appointed Secretary.
Tbe '*hairman having stated the object of tbe
meeting, as above set forth, on motion of R- W.
Shelley, a committee of five, con.'.isting of R. W.
Shelley, Reuben May, A. F. Dodson, E S. Lijg-
on, and ^V. F. Hice was appointed by the Chair,
to dratt resolutions for the consideration of tbe
meeting.
The Committee, after deliberation, reported
tbrough tbeir Chairman, R. W Shelley, as fol
lows:
A vacancy having occurred in the Congress of
tbe CoafHjcratc States fi-om thfs the 7th Con
gressional District of North Carolina, by the death
ot the Hon. S. H. Christian; and we, a portion of
toe freemen of said District, believing that the
exigencies of the country demand that said va-
eaiicy should be filled by some one of oar fellow-
oitizens, who, by intellectual endowments, in
tegrity of cbaraetcr and unflinohing devotion to
the State and Confederacy, is eminently fitted tor
official station: Be it therefore,
Resolved, That wo rccommecd to the voters
of the 7th Congressional District, Alfred G. Foi-
ter, of Randolph, as combining those qaalitiaa
wbich constitute the safe counseUor and wise leg
islator.
Kcsolved, That tho conservative and Judtciout
administration of the State Government by Gov.
Vance, and the noble and patriotic sentiments
embodied in his recent address to the people,
make him our first and only choice for Governor.
Resolved, That to tbe heroic defenders of our
homes and liberties in the field—our gallant
soldiers—we tender tbe warmest expressions rf
our administration and gratitude, and we trupt
that an honorable and lasting peace wili, ere long,
crown tbeir self sacrificing efforts in the cause of
Freedom and Independence.
The report of the Committee was adopted as
the ui]animious sentiment of the meeting.
After returning thanks to the Chairman and
Secretary, the meeting adjourned.
R W. THOMAS, Chairman.
J. L, Lee, Secretary.
The Yanki^ts in King and Queen.—Last
Thurbday oiorning tbe yankecs appeared at the
Court House, wiiere, besides the Court buildings,
arc three residences. Finding most of the male
iuhabitints away—Mr. Martin himself being
away on duty as one of the home-guard of the
countj—they entered the hotel without hindrance
or ccremony. Tbeir first exploit there was to
upsc the breakfast table, and their next to baild
a large fire in tiie middle of the hall, on tbe bare
fioor. They ransacked tbe hotel and took every-
iHinf,' valuable that was at hand. Mrs. Martin,
(••:'cit.g the lire lit in the iiall, besought them to
iiparL her i^oune, when she was told by tho wretch
es ‘ d—n it, they would burn the housc^ and her,
tj:>, ii she did not keep quiet.” Before tbe
Him s bad mantled tho house they forcdd from
lier tiLT keys, so as to- prevent her saving any-
;bing 1'hfy h .xl already taken all the money
1.1 tr hou.“e—about $2500—and had even appro-
pridvod soiue finger rings belonging to one of the
h.i dm, tor w'lich tbe little on* plead piteously
but in viiiu. Alter the bouve had been tired, the
yai;ket'.s toid tbe negroes they jaigiil take tor
iht;m'five6 hatever they couid save iioni the
tl anc lii this Ma^ iiumc vaiuableii
iiaa i>i n rt.scued, they were appropriated by the
^ank.jLS themselves, wiio were very much amused
at th is making tup negroes the catspaws for tbeir
pluuder. Haviug burned the hotel, they also
set lire to xMr* M:irtiu'b ^.mokehouse; but this was
happily saved, the flames being extinguished by
the salt brine. With this exception, Mr. Mar
tin lost everything on his piace—bis house, bia
furniture, his money, and everything in the way
of provision for man and beast. His loss will
amouat to or §iJ5,000. Even a piano, which
his daughter begged might be saved, was smashed
in wantonnesa, and tbe parlor carpet vfiB taken
from the floor, cut into strips, and divided among
the robbers.
The house of Mr. Robert Pollard, clerk of the
court, wan also visited and burnt to tbe ground.
They threatened to throw his wife into tbe flames,
wlien she remonstrated with them. Tbe house
of Mr. Williain B. Bird, residing at the Court
House, was not burnt, on account of the hurry of
the wretches to get away; but it was despoiled ot
everytbio^ valuable- The wardrobes of the ladies
wore, rifled, and all the clothing in the bouse was
taken, not even excepting the gowns and dresses
of a little infant. Wo i'urgot to aay that at Mr.
=fiuc*of Couteder^.te notes, or in tho oiJ is?uc w:ti t*i« j >l)trtia’8 the clothing of the family was stolen,

On their route down from Richmond, after the
failure of the raid, Kilpatrick's men acted in a
most barbarotu manner to the inoffensive and
helpless people of New Kent and James City.
From the Cross Roa'fs in Now Kent, where the
vandels entered the stage road, down to Barbams-
vtlle, in the same county, they burnt and pil-
lag.-id nearly evr.ry house At Barhsmfville,
they destroyed tho barn of Nelson Timberlake,
burning all liis corn and fodder, and stole every
pound of his meat. A Mr. James Taylor, who
remonstrated with them for their outrages, was
knocked down, and beaten until he became in*
sensi’ Ic. Other citizens were most outrageously
treated.—R ich.% Dispatch.
