Last Friday night Deputy -United

were sent by Gen. Patterson, collec

bacco factory of John Aw Burton, in
Henry county Tenn. Thev had two
.men with them, and seized the ' fac
tory. -They began loading the ma
chinery on a wagon, when suddenly
they were surrounded by twenty-five
armed men and ordered to unload
the wagon, some of the desperadoes
insisting on killing the officers, who
were forced to abandon the work
and leave.
Revenue Outrage.
Oxford Torchlight. ,
As special deputies Lamond and
Hicks were retu.rning,some time since,
from a raid on a still, and passed the
house of Mr. O'Bryan, one of. the
most respectable citizens of our coun
ty (living some six or seven miles
from the; still, and who never had
connection with a still whatever).
they wantonly drew their pistols and
fired at the gate and trees m I Mr.
O'Bryan'a yard, borne of the balls
passed near Mrs. O'B., frightening
her very much. This seems to have
been done through mere wantonness.
They were before Squires Smith ' and
Hughes, last Friday, on a warrant.
Strange to relate, these revenue offi
cials threatened the prosecutors that
if the case was not dismissed it would
be removed to the Federal Court, un:
der the late decision of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina, and tho
ladies who were witnesses in the af
fair would be dragged to Ualeigh
court after court. Under this threat
the prosecutors abandoned the case
and the defendants went unwhipped
of justice. U
So much for the late very patriotic
decision of that sweet-scented body,

Mu Dear Sir: It is officially reDort-
ed to me that two men, lately citizens
(I grieve to say) of Huis law-abiding
Commonwealth, named- respectively
William Reece and Noah Reoce, re
cently made a hasty . visit to Union
county, Tenn., onr-foot, and, t disre
garding the rights of hospitality and
the comity of States, returned into
North Carolina mounted, William on
a mule and Noah on a gray horse.
Close upon their heels came one Bar
rett Ray, from said Union county,
Tennessee, who made oath in due
form that said mule was his property,'
and that said William had obtained
possession thereof by certain carpet
bag methods in direct contraven
tion of the eighth commandment.
At the same time and place came
also one Robert Love, of said
Union county, Tennessee, who made
a similar affidavit in regard to said
Noah Reece and the gray horse
whereupon the said William; and
Noah Reece were arrested and lodged
in the jail of McDowell county, N.
C, to await further proceedings. I
have the honor, therefore, to await
your Excellency's pleasure in the
premises, and to assure you that it
will afford me no little pleasure to
intrust upon a proper requisition
these erring sons of North Carolina
to the correcting hands of your
judiciary; and with assurances of
very high personal and official re
gard, I am, dear Sir, very respect
fully, your most obedient servant, p

Messrs. Editobs We had last night an
exhibition of Mr. . Burr's panoram of
"War on the Wayel' rA large assemblage
witnessed the exhibition with great satis
faction, and the representation of scenes
was j pronounced; very accurate by those
nresent who had nartietnated in tliftm.
Blockade running was the romance of the
late war, and those whb were engaged in it
can look back upon their adventurous ca
reer with more Satisfaction than tkhsfiiwhn J
perilled their lives amid the blood and car-
nage of the battle field. . Blockade running
was also very agreeable to some, inasmuch
as li Drought wealth as wen as excitement.
I have not heard that the fighting Dart
he . fighting part of
the war produced for anybody that most
welcome result, -a plethoric purse, i This
exhibition will be interesting to every one
wherever it is displayed; and Mr. Burr will
no doubt find ample, compensation for his
labors, and as it is no fanciful sketch, may
be considered a part of tbe history of the
late war. - . , . - , - 1 -..
MrJ Harlow, the exhibi tor," while explain

and skill necessary to make it a financial
success by saying .nothing to wound; the
