Reported Killing of a Highwayman
It is reported in this city, that on Tuesday
evening alter dark, a man named Smiib, a
citizen ot Cabarrus amnty, on his ay
home from Concord, when he Wa&nietin
the road by a mgro who demanded money.
Mr Smith gave him $5. and the couud"el
demanded more. He re-ponded that he bad
moie, but i bought that ought to te enough
for him. Toe negnrtoldrnira to band over
all he bad, and Mr 8 uith reached in his
pocket as if to get it; but instead of tbe
money he drew a pistol, which he leyeled
Upon bis assailant and fired, the ball strik
ing him in tbe breast and produ ing almost
instant death. Tbe negro was found lying
dead in the road, with the $5 bill in his
grasp.
Weihave the story of this occurrence from
excellent authority, but have serious fears
that it is too good to be true.
Still Anctber Attempt at Highway Rob-bery-
Oa Wednesday evening, an old negro
named Nathan Grier, who lives in Paw
Cier-k Township, and who had ben to this
city ad sold a bale of cotton was returning
homeiwiih tbe-mB-y in his pocket, and
when about lOOcymiabejond Stewart's Mill,
two miles In m the city -on the RozzeU's
Ferry road, he wa assaulted by a wegro who
stepped from the road side The negro drug
ged him from li s sgon nd attempted to
rob him when the victim reached behind
him a if to draw a knife or a pi tol, where
upon the assailant desisted and fled. He
s-emcd ax the time to b alone but as the
old negro re-mounted his w g m and pre
pared to resume hid journey, he noticed him
stand ng d n the rotd in company with
another negro, who was, no doubt, a confed
erate It is stated that tbe nero had out
his money in a certain store in the city
where there wereeeweral negFocs at the time,
and it is supposed that, some of this crowd

Arrests for ibe Cast a County Grave
Opening.
Mr R M Martin writes uifotu Gastoaia,
nnderdateof Wednesday, tht two iegrees
were arieted at that place on the -day men
tioned, cliargeJ with some knowledge of the
grave affair. Their names are t.'ebe itankin
and Austin Hambright Tne evidence was
mostly circumstantial ; that against Rankin
was that he t 'Id of the grave hiving been
opened, early on Monday nvrnirig, an the
presence of U. W. Davis, and others, before
it was known at Gai-tonia. He refused to
tell anything more, a d subsequently.demed
that he had told this much. The largest
track seen in the grave-yard, corresponds
exactly with his. The track showed that
the left shoe had a haif-sole on it. In
length, size and thspe, it corre ponds very
c!oe!y to 'is, and as to the other marks the
eh-e corresponds exactly. Upon this evi
dence the court sent Kan Win to jail.
The most of the evidence a.-ainst Ham
lrigb, was his eagerness to find out who
was mpected ; whe-her Thite or colored.
He was released irom custody.
Tbe Opera Hjuse Last Night.
A number of our citizens, in their
admiration of Kate Putnam, breasted the
nipping a r, last, night, and attended the
theatre. Though the crowd was not large,
the attend ince was better than the average
and t he audience fron patiently and delight
edly through a long play, which, to the
credit of the Ka'ie Putnam Comedy Com
pany be it said, wa not cat in a single act.
As had been roniitd in advance, tbe even
in;"s entertainment was one of the most en
joyable ever offered our play- going commu
nity. "Fanchon. the Cricket," is a drama
of great atir-tctiveness, abounding in strong
situations and beautiful pa4ge. It was
ell cast last night, and produced with ev
ery mark of acceptability. Katie herseli is
the same lively, bru que, rough -diamond
Cricket she was a year ago; her concept ion
of the character is very fine, and her acting
of it leaves the impression that it c u!d not
be better done. There is just one defect
which the careful auditor will note; th. na
sal twang of The Marchioness" occasional
ly creepb in; and while it always creates
merriment this is more by reason of is tug"
grstiveneea than from the tact that it is con
sidertd 'just. the thing'.' in 'Fanchon." In
such a splendid impersonation, however it
seem almost tike captiouaness to point out
to trivial a defect.
Unquestionably the finest scene in the
drama of last night is the "feha iow Dai.ce."
It was wa ted for with eagerness, and when
it was cone u led tbe joy of the audience was
complete. It carried the h iusu by storm,
and so rapturous and sincere was the encore,
that the little lady tppeir-kl before tbe cur
tain aud bowed her thanks. The agility
which she displays in this scene is remarka-'
ble, and h-r dancing and antics completely
captivated the audience,
The entire co upany appeared to fine ad
vantage; Mr Sullivan took tbe part of ' Lan
dry Barbaud" with great fidelity. He is an
actor of fine abilities, and made a d-ci ed
imp essiun last night. The "Didier" of Mr
Coleman waa common place enough at the
beginning, bnt improved wonder ally, and
at tbe end of the play turned out to be very
excellent. Miss Taylor as "Mother Fadet,"
was also very good. But we cannot particu
larjze further. . . , . , .
The performance gave unbounded satis
lae ion. v.There waano one there who Was
not pleased, and the company will be teceiw
ed most cordially upon its return to Chsrw

Signature of the Cross.
The following which is a clipping, is in
teresting, and will be new to many The
mark which, persons who ate unable to write
are required to make instead of their s gna
tures, is tbe form of a cross ; and this prac
tice, havit g formerly been followed by kin s
and nob es, s constantly referred to as an
instance of the ignorance of ancient time.
This signature is not however, invariably a
proof of such ignotance. Ancient y the use
of tbe mark was not connu. d to the illiter
ate persons ; for aino g the siaxous ti e mark
of the tT' 8 as an attestation-of be good
faith t.fthe persons signing, wan rtq ured to
b- .attached to the signature of the who
could not write. In those timer, if a man
could write, or evtn read, his knowledge
was consideted proof presumptive that he
was in hoiy orders. 1 hr clericus or clerk,
was synonymous with jpennian and tbe
laity, or ptopie who w.ete not cerks. did not
teel any urgent necessity for the use of let
ters. The ancient use of tbe cross was there
fore universal, alike by those who could not
write ; it wa indeed the symbol of an eath,
from its sacred bsiociations, as well as the
mark genera ly adopted Hence the origin
of the expression. "God save the mark," as a
form of ejaculation approaching the charac
ter of an oath.

Some days ago we condensed from the
Rockingham i oaritr, and published in our
local eolumns what purpor el to have been
the experience of a Baltimore drummer, W.

had been told by the conduct r that be was

On yesterday, we had a call from Capt. J.

Highway Robbers Coming t Grief Ar
rest of Two. one ot ?t bom I n rus state
Evidence.
It is a source of congratulation for the peo
ple of the whole county, that the steps
which have been taken , to bring to justice
the highway robbers who have recently
hten depredating to such an extent on tbe
people traveling the public roads near this
city.- are likely to be. crowned with success.
Two arrests were made yesterday and others
will ensue. The manner of these arrests
was as follows : On Tuesday evening a negro
named Ne son Lee, who is in the employ
ment of Mr S H Hilton, saw the party of
four negroes pass Mr. H's house just before
the attempt was made to steal tbe trunk
from the arriage of Capt. J R Erwin. of
which occurrence a report has already been
given the public. He told Mr. Hilton tnat
he thought he knew some of he negroes,
and was instructed to ascertain certainly if
be did, and report the result of his invest!
gationav,.r ;V " , ,. ',
Yesterdky he went to Mr.5 Hilton's ofllce,
and reported that be had just seen the ne-.
grpes.), Wa rants . wer . accordingly issued
and placed in the hands Constable WbiUeTd
who, accom-nieJ y I Kelson, repaired to
, tbe Five Points and had two negroes: p-int--
i ed oat to him a-r part of the guilty party
He took them under arrest ' and carried
them before Justices Bdtoa andMcNincb,
where they diyulged their names as' Adam
Ibifer and Jim. Poiadexter. They at first
denied -all' knoledgeof the crimes with
which they were charged, but the , youngejr,
Adam Phifer. who hi nothing but a boy,
finally "caved in," and turned State's. evi
dence Once acknowledging bis complicity,
he made an easy witness, and told a long
and a straight story. He said that there was
an organized band, consisting of seyen ne
groes, ne being one, who had banded togeth
er for tbe purpose of highway robbery. He
gave the names of tbe menu ers of the band,
and said that it was organized before Christ
nias; told ail about their exploits, and gave
in detail, tho plan of their operations. He
described the personal apiearauce of the ne
groes belonging to the organisation, and
told thrir places otiesidmce. - '
Upon h s testiuKw y, the negro, Poindex
ter. who wa arrestea with him, was pom
mitted to jail, and be was ike wie commit
ted tor sale keeping as a witness for a furth
er in vestigatioapt the cse, which will be
made to day. Among other valuable evi
dence which he gave, was concerning the
robot ry on Thur.day of last week of Mr Jos
H ErWin, of Morning Star - Township who
was seised on tbe road and bie watch taken
trom him. He told that the watch had been
old to a certain negro in the city. This ne
gro was foufcd, the watch recovered and re
turned to Mr Erwin, who happened to be in
the city. The wi tnets a'so di ulged that it
was the purpose of the gang to have gone
down the Monroe road, yestei day afternoon,
and to have committed a robbery upon a
paeeer-by, near Brier Creek. Two or three
of the crowd had gone upe Air-Line Sail
road, t about Gaatonia, where- they said
they thought they could make a $200 or $300
"ib si," &ii.
Tbe neuro told his story with perfect frank
ness. He found, upon being arre?tedr that
thebnljr way to i-ave himself was to tell on
the others, and be seems to have his misd
made up to tell all. His testimony will be
of great assistance, and by means of this it is
hoped that all of the .coundrels will be ar
rested. Great credit ia due to the negro
Nels. Lee. it is due to his efforts that the
fi st clue was found and these two arrests
were made.
The etfijers are in diligent search of those
of tbe robbers who are yet free, and we hope
t be able to record the capture of all of
them, in our next issue.
P. S Alfred Davis, a lealer of the gang
of robbers, was arrested in the city last night
by Mr I W Durham, and taken before Jus
tii e McNmcn, who committed him to jail
As stfued in tbe pre eding portion of this
article, there will be a further investigation
of th' se cases to-day.
