" Caswell Memorial Association.; To All North Carolinians at Home Or Abroad: The General Assembly of North Carolina at its late session passed an act appropriating five hundred dollars to build a monument to the memory of oifr first constitutional Governor, Richard Caswell. This sum is entire ly inadequate for the purpose, and was only intended to assist the patri otic citizens of the State in their ef forts to build a monument commensu rate with the great deed done by him whose memory it is intended to per petuate. S We know that every true citizen of the State, adopted as well as native, will be glad to have the privilege of assisting in raising the legislative ap propriation to a sum that will more nearly meet the requirements of tlie case. Therefore we issue this circulaf, hoping that every-one whose eye it may reach will forward to the Treas urer of the Association any sum which may attest his admiration of the great, many and noble services to the Old North State by that sterling patriot, intrepid soldier and wise statesmajn whose memory we wish to hand dowb as a rich legacy to our posterity. His Excellency, Governor Jarvis, is in full accord with this object ; and -mis notified the Caswell Memorial Association of his intention lo further its ends. - This Association is permanently or ganized and now vigorously at vvorU. Thecitizens of Lenoir are already coming forward with their contribu tions. It is earnestly requested that the honorary vice presidents of the Cas well Memorial Association will push the work of collection, so that, if pos sible, the monument may be ready for the ceremonies of unveiling on the fourth day of July next. j It is proposed to locate the monu ment in .the public square, in the town of Kinston, All contributionsshoald be for warded to James Al' Pcidgen, 4 Treas'r C.vM.'

Redmond in Aheville Jail He tells the Story of his Capture. Cor. of the News and Observer. Asiieville, N. C, April '2(, 1331. Itedmond, the notorious outlaw, who, about four years ago, killed in Transyl vania county, a deputy marshal by the name Duckworth, and who has been, in defiance of the law. running at huge ever since, was brought to AsheviHenu Sunday last and committed to jail. He was, at the time of his commitment and is yet, sufieiing considerably from the effect of wounds which he received in the endea vor to capture him. lib is unable to walk, and seven balls are yet in his flesh, and were it not fo'his iron will 1 have no doubt they would prove fatal. In ap pearance the man is quite a different thing from what oao would expect to see iu an outlaw. Iu figure, he is small aud his face, which is that of a bay U!i-looking man twenty-seven years of age, is pleasant more than otherwise. There is nothing repulsive about him that I can discover except his ::a:ne, and his crim?. and bloodshed- is exaggerated beyond bounds. The truth, so far as I have been able to gather it, is that Dackworth is the only man he ha8ever slain, aud that for the last two years he has been living on the Tennessee River, iu gwain couuty, the life of a quiet farmer, 'harming no one and no one molesting him. The story of his capture, as he gives it himself, is about this: B;ing at home one morning nursing his wife who was sick, he heard his little dog bark up iu the woods above his house, and thinking that he had found a squirrel, he (Red mond) got his gun and started in pusuit. Going to where the dog was, aud being perfectly unconscious and hususpieioas of any one lying in ambush- for him he was suddenly halted by a party of seven men not more than ten .steps si way. Being a little startled and not taking time for deliberation he turned and fled, when the whole, parts commenced to tire ou him, sometimes hitting him and sometimes missing him. Running two or three hundred ya:ds, he stumbled and fell, 4iud being unable to rise, the party went up aud took possession of him. They carried him to the Charles ton jail, where he remained to the date of his removal here. What the charge in the warrant under which lie was arrested was, I have not been able to learn, but whether it is of any moment or not, matters but little, for we know there is a charge against hinj which is a grave one, and which the poor fellow ; will now have to answer for the charge cf i murder.: W. j IISTRDSSING PATRICIDE. A Family DitUcolty Endinj ! Blood. in Urn. JJ. Priesler, For merh a Cadet al Tl u,lu JJt"tary institute Shoots His Own Father Review of d Former Tragdy. ) From the Charlotte Observer. During the session of the Carolina Military Institute for the year 1878, a young man named W. H. Priester, of Barnwell county. S. C, was a stu deritjat that institution, and as such will be remembered by many of the citizens of Charlotte. If for 110 other reason than that on the morning ot the' i7tli of October of that vear he ill led a colored man named Tom Har ley, at. the Mozart Saloon, on Trydu street, in this city. The killing of Harjey was for a time wrapped in mystery, but under the searching in vestigation of a coroner's jury, facts were developed which fastened the deed upon the individual whose name is given above. The young man dis appeared, but at the end of about three weeks voluntarily returned, ac knowledged the killing and surren dered himself. With his father he went to Shelby, where Judge Schenck was holding the Superior Court of Cleaveland county, and to avoid im prisonment he .was at once carried be fore the Judge on a writ of habeas corpus. Between the arrival of the train at Shelby and its departure for Charlotte, the Judge adjourned the court for the term, and brought young Priester, with the witnesses and the attorneys in the case, to Liucolnton, where he was given a hearing. Judge Schenck, sitting as a committing mag istrate, considering the motive of sell defense, which had been set up as a pleaj fully made out, discharged the prisoner from custody, and hav ing al ready been expelled from the Insti tute, he went back to his homy in South Carolina. And now comes the saddest part of our story. Y ounr Priester married a lady who is said to be a a "most estimable woman," but with whom, from some cause, he had lived unhappily. A correspondent of the Augusta Constitutional, writing from Barnwell, under date of May 2d, says that; for this reason "she had resolved two j or three times to leave vonnir Priester and return to the house of her father, but Capt Biiiie, the father, pro vailed upon her not to leave his son, as it would no doubt be his ruin. She remained only iu the hope -he might, by enduring everything, work some improvement in ti e young man. His reek less ingratitude reached its high est point, and she re-olved to stand it no further, and on Thursday morn ing,; at the breakfast table, she re quested the Captain to remain a mo ment as she desired to see him. Young William Henry Priester, the husband, was at the head of the table opposite his father, and on hearing the remark said : "I propose to hear that conversation." Captain Priester replied, "Certainly, my ton, i have no objection. lining Priester went up stairs lo his room and came down to where the Captain and Mrs. Pries ter were standing, aud when within live or ten feet said : "Father, I'm going lo kill you." "O do, my son," said Capt. Biiiie . "What for?" He 4 . I III Hot no ivp:y lurther than a ball, which the Captain said is the one he thought passed through his stomach, entering two inches to the left of the navel and coining out about the same distance from the spinal column. The Captain said he closed iu on his son after the first shot And caught the pis tol, but found that the shock from the first ball was such that he could- not control the unnatural arm of his sou. The next ball he thought was the one that entered the left side and pene trated into the region of the spleen. (This ball went through the spleen.) A third ball lodged in the left wrist, aud a fourth in the left thiiih, and the fifth struck a -buck-horn lumlle knife in his pants pocket, tearing it up and lodging iu the iron sides. Captain Priester said that he was shot so rapidly that he could not save him self, aud the only thing he did was to hold on. to the pistol and change the radge until it was exhausted by the cruel hand, and then he thought he struck his son with a stick. Ptter, a twin brother, who had left the tuble for the store, hearing the shooting and the screams of Mrs. Priester, reached the house too late to render his father any assistance in the struggle. Capt. Preister went to Ins More, some two hundred yardsoff.and undressed him . - i i . r. .. rv. n ur self, ,Tot in ueu ami st'iu iui n. o Ivearse Dr. Kearse, arriving as sooil as possible, made an examina- tion and reported to Capt.

He told i tijin Mint., in Montiromerv con nt v. Yes- him he had but a short time to live, and that he had better arrange his worldly affairs and prepare to meet his God. Capt.

No words can convey them and few hearts ever felt sueh sadness. Capt. Priester made his will, leav ing all his effects to his son Peter, and appointed his faithful friend and kins man, Dr. H. W. Kearse, h is execu tor. He was cool and composed, con scious up to the dizzv ed?e? that bor der this life, and he met his death with a lenity Uhat deserved other surrounding,, and a fortitude that de mantled a nobler fate. : He requested that Wm. IL should not be allowed to attend his funeral, and stated that he wanted him hung for the security of his fellow-men." North Carolina has twenty iron furnaces, mills, etc., representing a capital of $60,000. There is no rea son why it should not be sixty times that sum. Iron ores abound in many of our counties and the iron business ought to be an important industry of the Stale. 117. Star. We only have to "bide a wee." If our people can't or won't invest in these enterprises, instead of Govern ment bonds, somebody will, and at no distant day. It is oi ly a question of time. Our climate, possessing the happy mean between the Scylla of the frozen, snow and flood stricken North ami Northwest and Chary bd is of the enervating parched, extreme South, will ere long attract the immigrant and the capitalist.

Between them and the city was a tan-yard and many out buildings. Much sharpshooting was iu dalged iu on both sides, opportunities being afforded us by squads of Federals, who iu twos and threes kept moving rapidly from behind extemporized shel ters to their rear, posted in the city limits proper. While a squad of these were bra ing our shots, one of them was seen to drop, while ail his companions, but one, taking advantage of our empty rifles, noun got to cover behind the houses.
