J. under date following The quiet of the Sabbath in Sai th neict was somewnat aisturoeu dtk me arrival of a wagon from Boon Hill Con taining a niagistrate,guard anjd prisoner. A man by the name of W. D. Stanley had been em'ployed by Mr. Iteinmaik cf Boon Hill to gin cotton, and on Safur- day night last, in company w th a negrq. by the name of Sandy Jone.8, entered the gin house from the roof of the en- gihe house, and removed several pounds of lint cotton thence to his residence, about one hundred yards distant. The owner had been apprised of the intjen tionS of Stanley by the negrq, and jhis movements had been watchedjfor several nights. In the meantime the negro had been told to do whatever Stajnley said, as lie would be watched. Aftr arriving at his house with the cotton several citi zens surrounded the house tip prevent the escape of Stanley. ,G. W. Britt, a magistrate of Jthe township, was soon on band and issued a warrant for the ar rest of Stanley. The case was tried and on the testimony of .the negrp, and the eye witnesses, he was remanded to jail to await his trial at the next jcrm of the court. This seems to be an old offender and has, several times before this been in serious jlifficulties, and stealing will doubtless prove bis ruin yet. He has thua far been very lucky in getting out of scrapes, but it -is certain that this offence will send him to the penitentiary without fail. He denied stealing this cotton; but the proof is overwhelming, as there were i or 5 citizens who" were on the watch purposely, saw him enter the jgin house, bring out the cotton and carry it to this horse. His wife has always bjeen con sidered a good woman, and jseems -j.to v love him dearly. On the nigit in ques tion, she opened the door on bis arrival, and asked " is that you honej ? " This goes to prove that she knew what her husband was about, and has weakened - the the faith of the community in her , sincerity, j Major Miller brought onje Waljter 'Draughan, here yesterday, and put Mm in jail. The prisoner is thought to have been a Ku Klux". He livecj in this county, and was taken from his cotton field and broughthere and imprisoned. Tub State Debt.

' -- Notwithstanding the fact that we are a married man of fi"fe years standing, we saw many petty laces and frilled thingsjthat we knew nothing of, where and iow they were worn. In fact; it was jione of our business, and we made no enquiries. ; - W$ also observed a large variety of green; plants and flowers, many of which were icontributed by a lady of Greens boro? whose name we could not lern and Miss Ilellen Litchtord, of this- city. Among the collection of plants cxhib: . ited py Miss Litchford, was a curiosity; known as an "Air"' plant, which at-,-traded much attention. It originated from a root dug from the garden and thrown upon a bank of leaves last winter. From the root, a beautiful plant came out last spring, different Irom he original plant. As there was; no soil to nourish its root the'namaof Air11' plant wa3 givenit bv Mi3s Litchford. - ,'' A lull blown night; blooming cereus also attracted a grat deal of attention.

From the Wilmington Star.t, The infamous outrage on the private property of Hon. Josiah Turner, Jr.. the particulars of which aje given in a special telegram to the Star, should arcuse the indignation of every friend of law, liberty and justice in the State. It is more than an attack upon the pri vate rights of a citizen it is a delibe rate, wanton assault upon the public press a malignant, diabolical effort to stifle its voice and erush its outspoken, free spirit. It is a desperate state of affairs truly, when a crtoting-office must be blown up with powder to stop the mouths of its conductors. But such lawless ways or' carrying a point are eminently in keeping with Radicalism. Radicajswill ; deny that this outrage was, of party inspiration. We will not I charge that it was planned in any cau- I r 1 1 T 1 1 . T i. -3 cus oi me ivauicui pariy, j-ul we uu charge that none but Radicals would wreak such infernal malice on a politi cal adve-sary, that the authors were indirectly inspired by all the fell teach ings of . mischievous, dangerous,-Jaw-less party which heretofore has scrupect at the commission ot few deeds that it thought; would advance its interests or gratify its fierce hate and bitter preju dice, j From the Richmond Enquirer. The fiendish act perpetrated yesterday at Raleigh, the brief particulars of which appear among our telegraphic items, has startled this community, as it will carry alarm through the whole South, while it ought to excite just indigna tion in the reast ot every de cent citizen in the entire land. The animus cannot be mistaken or tho mo tive wrongly interpreted. It . was ot course a pure and unmixed political outjx rage. The "Sentinel" is an outspoken Conservative paper, which hasShown no respect tor the scoundrelSWho have robbed and oppressed North Carolina, and its last issue contained very severe denunciations of their villainies, and threatened to continue the righteous war upon them. They could not stand the truthjiind so resorted to revenge a3 the only means of defence. It is fortu nate no lives were lost, but this does not mitigate heinousness of the crime. We sincerely trust, in the interests of peace and iustice, that the perpetrators may be speedily discovered and summarily punished. Unheard .of crimes of this nature should be visited with no com mon punishment. S From the Richmond Dispatch. The Hon. Josiah Turner, ol Raleigh, has, by bis outspoken and unceasing denunciation ot the present corrupt Federal Administration, and particular ly ot its official representative in North Carolina, made enemies of all the car pet baggers, scalawags and low negroes, who have winced under his editorial lash, as weilded in the Raleigh Sentinel. Hence he has been from time to time imprisoned, driven from home, and shot at in the streets ; and now, concluding that he is to die a natural death, the Radicals have attempted to silence his paper by blowing up his office with gunpowder. The authorities of Raleigh owe it to themselves and to the violated law that the perpetrators of this last outrage shall at any cost be. apprehend ed and punished, and we hope that the good people of North Carolina will see to it that the services of such a valuable and unpurchasable exponent of Conser vative principles as the Sentinel shall not be lost to the partjf for a single day in this campaign. From the Wilmington Journal. The act of blowing up with powder a building in the heart of a populous city, at that most defenceless of all hours, the hour of midnight, and for no conceivable reason save that it contain ed the press and fixtures for the publi cation of a political newspaper, is an act that it is difficult to find words to characterize in any becoming manner. The duty of a public journalist is not to attempt to inflame the passions of men, but rather to restrain and to mod erate them. -' Acts like that now under considera tion, in their bare recital, are more than enough to loose a devil that cannot easily be chained aga:n. Men cannoti contemplate a deed so diabolical and so fiendish without instinctively feeling the strongest desire for retaliation, for ven geance and for protection. Since the world began men never have been sub jected to such outrages without seeking, in some shape or other, both vensreance and protection, and they never will. We counsel obedience to law and respect for its officers, under all circum stances. We cannot better our condi-5 tion "by a resort to violent measures, outside of the law, for the redress of grievances. We know this full well. From the Newborn Times, Repllb. . We have no language at our comand strong enough to express our disap proval of the outrage perpetrated in Raleigh, as reported by the special pub lished in this issue. "The freedom of the press must and shall te maintained," is a maxim of the Republican party, and we cannot believe that any Republican is concerned in this miserable affair. We hope that a- full investigation will be had and the guilty parties be brought to justice. , Carrying the , War into, New York. The Washington correspond ent of the Baltimore Sun says : It has been decided by the, political organizations supporting the re election of the administration to concentrate all their strength in New' York, in the hope ot carrying that State in Novem ber against the Liberal ticket. Secretary- Delano left for there Friday night to speak. The National Republican Committee have tamed their worK in that direction and not content with a triumph on the Presi dential ticket, intend to'secure as r reat gains as are possible of Congressmen. This Committee have advices from every Congressional district in thecauntry, on which they base an estimate of a gain of twenty-four over the majority in the present House, which, if it turns out corfect, will give the Administration a majority of sixty-seven in that branch of Congress. There seems to be a desire to centralize a political power in both branches of the government unparalleled for its enormity since the days ot the Fortieth Congress. : : " , One of the newest rifles submitted to M.

Horace Greeley at 'Baltimore Grand Democratic Ovation A Plea lor American Unity. Baltimore, Oct. 19. Horace Gree- ot di'Hvftrrid an address before ! the Maryland State Agricultural ' and hMe chanical Society to-day at tho Fair grounds, treating specially on . the im provement of worn out lands. About 12 persons were' present. To night there was a grand torch-light procession by the Democratic, clubs of all the wards, which ;was reviewed by Mr. Greeley. Provious to the passing of the procession Mr, Greeley addressed an immense crowd congregated in front of the Carrollton Hotel, as follows : .-..'J j Citizens of Maryland : I greet you as co-workers in a common cause the cause, of our whole country and eVery part of it; the cause of every race and every class in r that country. I plead for national reconciliation. I- plead for the restoration of common rights to - every : citizen now deprived of them. Enthusiastic cheering. I plead for that unity of Reeling without which the unity of ter ritory and the unity of government are oif small account. Let us be one people -1 an American people forgetting our deferences, deploring our past calami ties, and resolved that we shall evermore be a ! united and harmonious people. For that cause of national unity and prosperity I stand and testify. ; , j I beseech job, let nothing discourage ybu to press on tp.that triumph which, will certainly b accorded us if not in the near future, at a later day. Our cause is iust. Let us never doubt, then, that a generous people will accord it, and that time shall write our memories green, in that we never despaired of our country, never deserted her, and never wished to make one citizen the enemy off the! other at a time when there was too much bitterness, but pleaded for peace and reconciliation. " Blessed are thie peacemakers." Let us endeavor to deserve and enjoy that blessing. Friends, I cannot reach you .with my voice, and therefore will close. Great cheering.! Conflict of Races in Arkansas. ' Serious trouble between. whites and blacks at Osceola, a little town forty miles above Memphis, on the Arkansas shbre, Which has been brewing for sc-Vr end days," culminated in a fight, in' wlhich one negro was killed ami several wounded. The ; trouble - originated in the killing of Mnrray, the sheriff, some six weeks since, by Fitzpatrick, the county register, and the breaking up of a jCouSfcrvative meeting last week, as reported at the time. Fitzpatrick was to have been tried this week. To pre vent the trial coming off it i3 believed that he incited the negroes to arm and suirocnd tlietown, when the whites in turn arhicd and drove them off.. The officers of the court and some merchant3, with a portion of their gocds arnvad here late last night, the negroes having threatened to return and burn the town. j The latest advices from Osceola rep resent fell quiet, but fears are felt of another attack by negroes on the town. LET US SAVE NORTII CAROLINA We can sate Forth Carolina. Of this there can be no doubt. We have fifty thousand white majori ty. What a dhamo to oar people that a Radical is now in the Executive chair ! North Carolina may decide th Presi dential contest. Mr. Greeley can be elected without the votes ot Ohio and Pennsylvania. . . . Our cause is not hopeless. The recent elections in the North seem to have in spired our friends with fresh conrage to press on in the fight. - The stupendous frauds practiced in Philadelphia and other points in Penn sylvania, have aroused the indignation of honest men everywhere and may cause a re acfioffagainst the corrupt party which has to be bolstered np by -bucIi disgraceful means. - ; The Liberal press, North and South, calls for united action, thorough organ ization, firmness, fortitude, aud renewed efforts on the part of the opponents of Radicalism. ; .

Wc hear the cry everywhere close up the ranks stand by party organiza tion wook for victory in November, Onward is the tcatclucord now ! The fight is notlost The decisive struggle is yet to be fought. November will tell the tale. It will be desperate battle. We fight against immense odds. We fight against organized corruption and the combined patronage of the Government. We fight in a iust and 'noble cause. We have everything to lose and nothing to gain by a cowardly surrender to onr foes. We must make a bold, manly, gallant fight. -:'v.-V We bear aloft the banner of reform and reconciliation.

WADDELL'S ADDRESS. We find in the Wilmington papers of .yesterday, the tollowing spirited and patriotic address from Col. A. M. Wad-" deli, addressed to his constituents of the 3rd Congressional District, J CoLWaddell's address is timely and excellent His remarks are as applica ble to the other Districts as well as to the 3rd, and should serre to arouse our people all . over the State to a sense of their duty, and to the shame of apathy ; in the present momentous struggle to wrest the reins of Government from the hands ot corrupt and reckless politi cians t -J': To Vie Conservatives and Liberal Voters ofjherrhird Congressional District .: j Fellow Citizens : The exaggerated importance which has been given to the late elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indianii, and the equally unduo depression among tho' friends of Mr. Greeley consequent thereupon, make it the duty of those who enjoy your con fidence to offer you their counsel at this time. As I cannot meet my constituents before the .5lh of November, I avail myself of tho newspapers to address you. I shall also speak, to as many of you as possible between now and thai time. . -:" !--. It is titural in. politics, as in other matters when high hopes in regard to an issue ol importance are disappointed, to yield to despondency but it is crim inal and cowardly in freemen to rc- . nounco their tfighett privilege because tif possible 'defeat in an flection. We did build hih '-opes on the October electons, and wc are disappointed ; but if these! elections were absolutely conclusive of the result m November we -would still have no fight to abandon the contest. They are not so, however. Admitting; tiiat Pennsylvania and Ohio will go against Mr. 'Grceky. (and . it is probable, though by no means certain, that they will go ugainst him,) he can Kill be elected without them.
