ttt if the enemj gets Weldon and destroys
the Railroad and the Bridge at that point,
the South will receiie the beiriett blow
which his fallen upon it since the commence

enemy would be upon Gaston, 12 miles dis
Unt, and the railroad bridge at that point
would share the fata of the one at Weldon,
and the trick-of the GreeaYille and Roanoke

A MOST DARING BURGIARY AND

lb3. of coffee, loaf sugar - and flour from the
pantry. The smoke house door bad two good
locks on it, which was opened by the robbers
and locked again. In relocking the pantry
door, a room in the end of the piazza of 'the
dwelling some noise was made which awoke
the house maid, who, on goiog out, found two
white men and a negro fellow, with bags and

By passengers by jesterdaj evening' train we
have further particulars' of . the . akirniieii near

debted to a friend i who witnessed i a Dortion of
what" be recites: 1'

Hamilton, their advance guard consisting of about
3000 infantry, several pieces of artillery and three
companies of the.'4 White Horse" cavalry Three
crtnpasiea,o the 26th N. O. Troop. Colonel
Burgwyn, occupied 'Williamstbn on ahat morn
ing, theremainder of bis regiment being at Rawl'a
Mill. On teaming the advance of the Yankees
and that he was likely to be cut off, CoL B. fett
back to Old Pord.and subsequently to Bawl's,
hotly pressed by the! enemy's cavalry. Before he
could oin- the remainder of the regiment the
charge ornbe enenay's tfavairy took pace men
tiooed in our.noiice of yesterday. Twice did the
three companies of the gallant 26th repulse the
entire advance guard, which is represented aa
comooeed wholly of new leviea,and which wand
not stand the fire of the 26th. Of course a Aere
handful, of men could not feeiat the advance pf so
large, a body, 'and aftor firing nine rounds into'
them and killing and wounding about 150 (as was
subsequently learned), the 26th fell back in ex
cellent order to within a few miles of Tarboro.' '
i The Yankees now have possession ol Hamilton,
or rather what was Hamilton for we Understand
they have almost 'obliterated the town firing
buildings,: demolishing what escaped the "flames,
and committing the; moat horrible outrages upon
all ages and, both sexes. . . -Their
force at Hamilton is ascertained 'to be
10,000 infftntry, 40 pieces of artillery and a large
torceor cavalry. Uur troops are moving' and
will bring these fellows to a reckoning to-day, .if
the fight hat not already taken plaee.'
It would be imprudent in us to disclose 1 what
we know of the movements of our troops; but we
are safe in aasurin&r the pub.ic that the next they
will hear of the Yankees now ft .Hamilton, or

We are happy to learn that our troops have
succeeded in bringing with them a set of thei moat

it is said, as rank traitors aa ever graced a sapling.
We have heard but four of their names, tu: 11,
M. Davenport, E. W. Jonei, Wilson Lamb and
Abernathy Hall. Lamb is an unmitigated vil

bers for Surry to their- constituents : - f :
MB. ALOOCKi 07 THE LIBXRAt PABTT,
Mr. Alcock, an Old member of the Liberal par
ty, and how over sixty years of age, addressed his
constituents as follows:
It was impossible to come among them without
ascertaining their views-; upom the leading, ques
tions oi ine aav, ana pronaoiy upon no question
did, .tH'.adeperJtntereBt at thj present': mo
mmi iT'u?t4'.rett.vteetions' involved in ;5hat
dJsasteetoxw which Was now raging on the con
tinent of America between the Northern and: the
'Southern States. He.could not avoid taking this
opportunity of saying when that terrible struggle
first broke out, he . felt- thatas an enemy to the
conunuance oti slavery-4 ne oouia scarcely
De , otnerwise uaa ppposea to what was
termed the Southern interests in America.' because
ne felt tbatT-fnumucn as -they were ihe only par
lies in America wjuo were tne owners of staves, to
avow oneself iir fa vorof . those estates would be to
Support slavery. Jt was, however, Earl Russell,
Who, witn that clearness or perception which dis
tinguished hlmf, first placed this matter m a clear
fight, and showed to the world that the struggle
between toe .-Northern and the southern, states
was not a struezle which involved the Question of
the continuance of slavery atalL buftbat m point
or fact it, was, on the part or the a or thern States,
a war for power, and en that of the Southern a
strueele for independence. ?( Cheers.)
i Vhen that was made clear its effects soon be
came apparent in enlisting the sympathies of Eng
lishmen on the side or the southern states. In
this happy country everybody was in favor of in
dependence, and, therefore, although propeny
enoaerh therehad been no outward demonstration.
all in this country sympathiaed with the people ot
the southern states 1 in their heroic struggle for
liberty. (Cheers. ) He had lately had much sat
isfaction and had been much , edified by the study
of tbe work of Mr. B pence on the; American
Union, and be recommended Its persual to every
one who felt interested in this great, question.1 It
was a work written with much ability and display
ing a vast amount of talent and information on
tbe part of the writer, and he defied any .one io
. r r., 1 ...i : . . ... . v .
inz in favor of an almost immediate recognition
of he Southern States. It was only a day or two
ago that no less an authority than our own able
and eloquent Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose
vofce upon public questions they were always de
lighted to hear, said that it was almost impossible
nog to believe that Jefferson Da is had made of the
Southern Sutes a great nation; and that senti
ment was applauded by one X)f the largest and

. This gentleman - was more impulsive in his re
marks. He said; A' . '
If .we were to believe the reports brought oyer
to ths country, . and tbe braggadocio which, Le
was fOrry to say, was prevalent among the people
of the Northern States ef America, there could
really be no end to this! war until one or the other
party was entirely exterminated. (Hear.) He
must say that be thought the people of England
had some reason to complain of the present state;
of things, because they had been most steadily and
most disgracefully abused. (Hear.) Great cred
it wa due to (he press of this country. At the
very 'outset of the waij this country offered tbe
very "best and soundest advice,- and he would un
dertake to say that if that advice, had been follo w
ed the Northern States would have found them
selves in an infinitely; better position than they
were'' at Ihe present moment (Hear.) - Unfor
tunately that advice was not followed, and nhe
North persisted in a course which, as was now
plain! to everybody, could not be approved. I ; U
Inthe first place, there was that , unfortunate
case jf the Trent, which was still fresh in our re
collection, and which would Certainly not re
dound to the credit of the North, either now or
when that unfortunate, business, was written, f it
was a studied insult to our flag, and they were ex
ceedingly tardy in making the amende honorable,
which was certainly expected by every nation of
Europe some of which were by no means triend
ly ,to us to be immediately made, i It was hot,
however, until we had made the! most tremendous
preparations for a war, which; if entered into
woujd probably have annihilated their navy, Ithat
they (bought it necessary to make an apology to
us. Contrast their conduct with our forbearance 1
They must recollect that if. we had gone to . . war
with them we ' should not have desisted until we
had obtained that which we had a right to, name
ly, thi State of Maine and the harbor of Portland.
(Hoar;) . . Wa should have gained considerably by
that war. They should recollect what their, po
sition was when they Were fighting for freedom
and national existence' in 1814. They fostered the
war between Prance and England to divert a por
tion of our navy from hem;-.; -'4,4;. .,;jc.i
It had been said, but most wronalv, that in un-
holdlng the South we should be supporting slave
ry. We all knew that, when tbe independence of
the Souti was acknowledged slavery- would die
out. $ut simultaneously with the desire of the
North ihat slavery should be abolished, what had
the Nirlh done T . They had destroyed political
freedom, and bo harsh were their proceedings that
every man belonging to the Northern' States; Was
now glad to abjure his nationality, and claim : to
bean Irishman, an Englishman, or as German,
a native, in pointof fact, of anyother.country but
his own. (Hear.)' The United States should
be the hist to complain that a portion of its terri
tory wished to sever itself from them and to as
sert its Independence, becaose at the time they
were waging their own War of independence they
were, in very deed, Bebefei and, in their memoraj
ble Declaration of Independence what did they
y ? iWhy, they admitted that the time, might
come. when. in the course of human; events it
might be necessary for the nation to dissolve those
pomicaf bonds which united Xhem together.
Well, then, the time had.come, and the Soith
in their turn, not'liking the commercial oppres
sion exercised by the North, felt that tbey. were
justified in dissolving those political Jbonds which
nnited them. ; What right, then, had the Nor
thern States to complain of the dissolution of the
Union H If they had Watched the progress of
the war, ;they could not but be filled with admir
ration a the daring heroism of the- South, lock
ing at thi enormous dUSculties they had had to
encounter. Their Cabinet was presided ever by
men-wbp-were really worthy, of the name. of
statesmed, and their Generals have also proved
themselves distinguished In the field.; The whole
of the campaign, from the first battle of Bull
Bon down to the present time, had been distin
Salsaed by the greatest bravery and endurance.
and by a pertinacity which equaled: If it did not
lurpaasfanything whieh they had read of either

Sir Bolwer Lytton was exceedingly reticent in
his remarks, but as he was addressing an agricul
tural association, it was surmised that be was re
serving his great speech for a futare occasion.
The only paragraph Jin his address concerning
American affairs, was' as follows :

Prom the garbled extracts in (he Northern pa
pers we select the following: .
The London-Times remarks that It can hardlv
be alleged that Mr. Gladstone has gone bevond
the bound of qfficial reserve, in the statement
that Jeff. Davis has made a nation of the South;

suppose that Mr Gladstone, expressed sentiments
at variance withthose of his colleagues. Possibly
he has been premature in the ' announcement of
his views. At Manchester, recently, he publicly
expressed confidence in the success of the southern

for boundary, r Maryland wss one of the great
difficulties. The South could .not abandon that
State With honor, and eould not hope that the'
xoria wouia ever sarrenaer it. Jttaryiand has

when tais question ef boundary will assume an
absorbing importance. Already; the Northern
States are gradually awakening to the fact that
two nations are not like? two pike, aud that it does
not follow because one is somewhat' larger than
the other, that the larger can swallow aaddigest
the smaller.:" After a further quantity of useless
butchery and earnagej and after the innumerable
hospitals have been some more times filled and
emptied, this truth will grow into a familiar fact.
And the next thing then necessary will be," to
have ready prepared some feasible line of fron
tier which may also be discussed with? familiar U
