Whipped. We learn that three pick-pockets
were detected on the upward train on the C. eV S.
C. Railroad on Saturday last. They had stolen
the pocket-book of some one nn the train. On
arriving at Morrows 1 urnout, the light-hngercd
gentry were taken out and about 150 lashes put
upon each one's back, after which, it is said, they
were tarred and feathered, placed upon the night
train and started back to Charleston, for the pur
pose of being shipped to New York. One of
them is said to have been an old man, and the
other two comparatively young.

Wake Forest College. The Board of Trus

praying for Letters of Administration on the estate.
The Executors contended that as an appeal had
been taken to a higher Court, the Ordinary had no
further jurisdiction. After counsel had argued the
case for three days the Ordinary decided to rant
Letters of Administration to S B Masscy, Dixon
Barnes, Win Stevens and Jos A Cunningham.
The Executors gave notice of an appeal to the
Court of Common Pleas and a motion for a writ of
prohibition to restrain further proceedings.
It will be remembered that this is the case where
the testator, McKenna, left the main portion of his
property to the Catholic Church, cutting off the
heirs, Mrs Mittag, his daughter, and her children,
with an insignificant amount.

Observer are not as successful in this effort at com
prison as they usually arc. In fact, they have
mM the mark and I wasted their ammunition.
It didn't seem to strike the Observer that its shot
could rebound and hit the source from whence if
came, for if there is any possibility of drawing a
comparison iu the premises, it applies to the Obser
ver as much as it does to the Democrat or Sentinel,
because the Observer, too, is in favor of hanging
old Broicn, therefore we must claim the editors of
the Observer as members of the '-league," together
with all other editors in the State. Our friends
must load with more suitable ammunition next
time, and take better aim, if they want to "bag
the game."
Of course the Observer does not charge the
"league" upon us, but it thinks it might do so
with as much fairness as we charge Gilmer and
Vance with co-operating with Grow, an abolitionist, j son hag been renuered unabie to Ilieet his appoint
in securing the defeat of the Post Office Bill at ments at Salisbury, Statesville, and other points in
the last session of Congress. Another failure to
make " a good shot." There is no analogy be
tween the cases. Gilmer, Vance and Grow agreed
as to their object in pursuing ,a factious course in
regard to the P. (). Bill-they wanted to embar

cause he deserves it the latter pretend to want
him choked to death for the purpose of holding

To the Point. In reply to the charge made
by the Rowan county opposition meeting, that the j
condition of the State is much worse now than it
was when the democratic party came into power,
the Raleigh Standard remarks as follows :

ATTENTION, CITIZENS!
Considering the inefficiency of our military defence,
it is deemed necessary and expedient to organize a vol
unteer Company at or in the vicinity of Piueville, N. C,
that we may be better able to defend our homes and
firesides from the incendiary and murderous attacks of
Northern abolitionists, we therefore earnestly urge
every good citizen in Providence, Sharon and Steel
Creek to tome forward and enroll under the banner of
the Old North Stat?. For this purpose a meeting is
called at'Pineville, 10 miles south of Charlotte, on the
