TheJ)mocrntic Executive Committee of Rowan County resolved ' nnnuimously at their nice ting on the 9tli of September, 1882, that the plau of organization which has been adopted by the State Democrat ic Execntive Committee be carried oat to the letter in Rowan, and that the Execu tive Committee,! the township conimtttees and the sub-township committees I make every effort to see that this plan is carri ed out. It is aa follows : 1. Let there be a County Committee composed of active working, xealons, in telligent men, ' ! 2. Let there be Township Committees composed of the very best men tit the town ship. Right here the work is to be done, mud hence the absolute necessity for the very best meu the party lias in the town ship, e j j 3. Let each township be dividt d up into convenieut districts, with known, well defined boundaries, as far as possible, such as roads, creeks, &c, each commit teeman taking one sub-di vision under his spccal charge.1 Iu each sub-division let there be a sub-committee of three, or four, or live, or as many as uecd be, with its proper township committeeman at its head, and appoiuted by hin. This sub committee is to report toj its chairman and operate under his directions. 4. Let each Bub-couiiuittee, by the 7tl of October, prepare two lists of all voters in its sab-division, oue for; its own use, the other to be given to its chairman. 5. Let each sub-comiuitteeman and each township coramitteeranu examine the registration books from time to time, nod check off the voters who have not regis tered, and then use every effort to get Democratic voters to register. G. On the !4tli of October, let each sub committee meet with its chairman aud check off the Voters who have not regis tered, and make arrangements for induc ing them to register. On the 23th Octo ber let them meet again for the same pur pose.' ' ... ; On election day let the township and sab-committees be early at the polling places with their lists of voters. ' Let the cames of voters be checked off as they vote, and at 1 o'clock let a list of absent Democratic voters te made by the town ship chairman and given to the snb-com-mitteemeu, who win at once proceed to ascertain if the absentees cannot be in duced to come to tlie polls and vote. For this purposa the chairniau of the township committee mast hare provided I suitable conveyances 'ad have them constantly ready to hand. If this simple plan be carried out, our majority in the coming .election would not be a vote less than 30,000.

S., oriJtnoirKJ, C, March Mth; im ton the Farm of E.V. Michaux, Esq., near Joh9 Hivtr, Jn Burke CouutyN. C. i ':- i In a conversation with Mri Miclianx on Indian curiosities, lie iuformed me that there' was au Indian mound on his farm which wa&formerly bf considerable height but had been gradually i pHwed down : that several mounds in the teighborbood had been excavated, and! nothing of in terest fouud iu them. 1 1 asked permis sion to examine this' mouu4,whiclr was granted, and npon .investigation the fol lowing facts were reveal : . 1 ' UKn reaching the place,lts!arpened a stick foar or five feet in length aud ran it down in the earth at several places, and finally struck a rock about eighteen inches below i the surface, which, on digging down was found to be smooth. 011 top, ly ing horizontally upon solid earth, about ! 18 inches above the bottom of the grave, 18 iuches length and lb inches 111 width, and from two to three iuches in thickness, with the coruers rounded. Not fiuding auy thing under this rock, I then made au excavation in the south of the grave, aud soon struck another rock, which upon examination proved to be in front of the remains of a human skeleton in a sitting posture. The boucs of the fingers of the right hand were resting on this rock, and 011 the rock near the hand was a small stone about five inches loug; resembling a tomahawk or Indian hatch et. Upon a further examination many of tho boues were fouud, though in a very decomposed condition, and upon expos ure to tho air soon crumbled to pieces. The heads of the bones, a considerable portion of the skull, maxillary bones, teeth, neck boues, and the vertebra, were in their proper places, though the weight of the earth above them hud driven them down, yet the entire frame was so pel feet that it was an easy matter to truce all the boucs; the boucs of the ciauium were slightly inclined toward the East. Around the neck were found coarse beads that seemed to be of some bard substance, resembled chalk. A small lump of red paint about the size of au egg was found near the right side of this skeleton, the sutures of the! cranium indicated the sub ject to have been twenty-five or twenty -"eight years bf age, aud its top rested about twelve! iuches below the mark of the plow. 1 made a further excavation toward the west of this grave and found another skeleton, similar to the first, in a sitting posture facing the cast. A lock was ou the right, ou which the boues ot the light hand were resting, and on this rock was a tomakawlTwhicli hud been about seven inches long, but was broken into two pieces, and was much better finished thau the first. Beads were also found around the neck of this one, but much smaller and of finer quality thau thoe on the neck of the first. The material, however, seems to be the same. A much larger amount: of paiut was fouud by the side of this than the first. The boues indicated a person! of large frame, who I think was about! fifty years of age. Everything about about this one had the appearance of su periority over the first; the top of the. skull was about six iuches below the mark of the plow. ' I I continued the examination, and after diligent search, found nothing at the; north side of the grave ; but on reaching the east, found another skeleton iu the same posture as the others facing the west. On the right side of this was a rock on which the bones of the right ham were renting, nud on the rock was also a tomahawk, which hud been about eight inches in length, tut was broken iuto three pieces,: and was composed of much better material, aud better finish thaii the others. Beads were also fouud ou the neck of this, but much smaller aud fiuer thau those of the others. A larger amount of paiut than both of the others was found' uear this one. The top of the ci ainum had been mured by the plow. j The bones indicate a person of forty years of age. i. j There was no appearance of hair dis covered, besides, tho smaller bones were almost entirely ! decomposed, and would crumble when taken from their bed in the earth. : These two circumstances, cou( led with the fact that the farm op which this grave was fouud, was the first settlement in that part of tho country!, the date of the first deed made from Lord Granville to John Perkins running back about one lieudred and fifty years, (the laud still belonging to the desceudents bf the same family that first occupied it) would prove beyond doubt that it is a very old grave. j , The grave waft situated due east and west, in size! about uiue by six feet, tliie line ifing distinctly marked by the dif ference in the color of the soil. It was dug in rich black loam, and filled around tlie bodies with white or yellow sand, which 1 suppose was carried from tl-e river bank two hundred yards distant. The skeletons approximated the walls bf the grave, and 'contiguous to tneiii was a dark colored earth, and so decidedly different was this from all surrounding it. both in quality and odor, that the line bf the bodies could be rendiiy traced. J ne odor of this decomposed earth, which had been flesh, was simitar to clotted blood and would adhere in lumps when coni piessed in tile hand, i This was not the crave of Indian warriors j in those we find pots made bf earth or stone, and all the implements bf war, for the warrior had an idea, mat al ter he arose from the dead, he would need in the "hunting grounds beyond," hi bow and arrow, war hatchet aud scalping knife. j j The facta set forth will doubtless con vince every Mason who will carefully read the account of this remarkable burial that the American Indians were in fiossessioai of, at least, Rome of the mysteries of our order, and iti was evidently the grave f Masons, and the three highest officers in a Masonic Lodge. The grave was sitna ted due east and west, an altar erected in the centre; the snth, west, and east were occupied, the north was not; imple ments of authority near each body, the difference in the qnality of the Wads, the tomahawks in one, two and. three pieces, and the difference that the bodies were placed from the surface, indicate lyond doubt that these j erous had been buried by Masons, and those, - too, that under stood what they were doine.

J; Tobacco Planters to be ITdraed of the Ap proacnoj xrosu j Wasiiixoton, September 2.The chief f ignal officer of the army has Issued the following Importaut notice: kWith a jriew to aiding the planters engaged in tobacco growiug, the chief sjgtKofllcerJ 01 tue army nas ueciueu 10 semi 10 ine sections of the country where. tlys'indus try is important, warnings of anticipated frosts which may threaten injury to jthe jripening crop. These warniugs will be telegraphed as early as, possible before Jthe occurauce of the frost, and sent to all telegraph stations in tlie districts threat ened. It is suggested that parties inter ested arrange among themselves for a prompt diffusion of these warning after they are received at the stations. This can be done by a courier at a slight ex pense. The warniugs will cover tlie pe riod from September 1st to November 1st, or specially for, each locality until a kill iug frost shall have occurred and made further notice unnecessary, - ' Messrs. Pace &c Gorrell proprietors of Pace's Warehouse, ever on the lookout to subserve the best interest of their pat rons, have opeued a correspondence with the Chief Signal officer at Waslangtou with a view, and for the purpose of giv ing the information of the approaching frost, to the planters of this section. Their plan as we learn from Capt. Ed. Pace, is to get the army sky rocket, and notify the post masters aud through them the people at the different offices iu this aud adjoiuing counties, so that they can bo ou the look out at ; o'clock (sharp) on the day, date and hour to be hereafter named, and if thu: signal can be seen when sent up from the Reservoir here, then a plan will be adopted aud scut out in circular form to communicate tho frost signal. This is a step iu tho right direction, and oue we are sure will bo appreciated. If such a plan lirtd been adopted lastjenr, thousands could have leeii saved to the farmers of this section. A Tennessee llorror. A Sheriff and Hl Deputy Kdlcd and Oth ers Wounded and a Train Seised by Murderers. Chattanooga, Sept. 14. Tho Sheriff and his deputy of this county were shot aud killed to-day while enroute to Knox ville with a prisoner. John Taylor two years ago killed Capt. Fletcher on the Tennessee river. Ho escajied but was finally captured and brought here. He had several trials and at the last term of the Court was sentenced to ten years hard labor in the penitentiary. He ap pealed to the Supreme Court which is in session at Knoxville, and his case was to have come up to-day at noon. Sheiiff Cate and deputy Conway took the east Tennessee train with Taylor, who was handcuffed. Several men boarded the train at Sweetwater or Philadelphia, about 75 miles from here, and while the train was between there and Loudon, deliberately shot Cate and Conway dead and wounded another man. They then released the prisoner aud took charge of the train, running it through to Loudon, and at Lenoir .station John Taylor aud his brothers and Andy, got oft and forci bly taking some horses, left for the moun tains. John Taylor was wounded in the arm. This city is in intense excitement. A posse of thirty men with Springfield rifles left on a special train on the Cincinnati Southern for Kinston, and another posse will leave here overland. A posso has already left Kinston, and another from Londou. Cate was Sheriff two weeks. He was one of the most popular meu in the city, and was about 50 years old, and leaves a large family. Conway was about 20, and w8 prominent iu local politics. Such excitement has not been seen in Chattanooga since the war. A sjiccial train will bring the bodies of tho victims here to-night. The shooting took place about 4 o'clock. Leached Ashes. Leached ashes re good for almost any crop, but should be applied with other fertiliz er thut contain vegetable substances, like barn yard manure: thus applied on most of soils, and for nearly all crops twenty-five, cents a bushel would be cheaper than commercial fertilizers. Fifty bushels of ashes ap plied to an acre of land in connection with two cords of good stable manure would produce better results for most erons than 150 bushels applied 'with out other fertilizer-, or five cords of stable manure applied with no other fertilizer with if.

Morton, of Stanly county. From an ac connt published in the Concord Sun it seems that Morton went to Texas, repre sented himself to be "F. A. Morton" aud insured in the K. of H. in that State for his Brother "J. F. Morton," for $ 2,000. He then returned to North Carolina aud notified the Texas lodge of the death of his brother J F. Morton. A certificate to that effect signed J. A. Morgan, A. A. Morgan aud D. L. Witherspoon, duely authenticated by Felix Klutz, magistrate, accompanied the notice. Tho Texas lodge susjiected fraud and wrote here for information. It turns out to be an un mitigated swindle. The names signed to the certificate were forgeries, aud so was the magistrates authentication a bold forgery. A little circumspection saved the lodge from a big swindle. Morton was a nested and committed to Jail but the scotuidrel mauaged in Borne way to escape and is at large. Look out for him His name is J, F. Morton, Stanly county. Patriot.

God is a living God and Christ came iuto the world to save sinners. I beg them to have faith in Jesus, for by this faith alone can they be saved."
