By Ihe Salisbury route, very direct com
municalion would be opened with the North
Carolina Itoad between High 1'oint, Lexing
ton and Charlotte, and thence with the Wen-
tern Pmsion of the Wilmington, Charlotte
and Rutherford noad in its whole extent
weslwardly. It seems to us, that these ad
Tantages, which are real, might be sufficient
to determine the direction which the Koad

peed no further argument. We have no per-
tocal interest in the matter more than to
benefit the larcer number-in building the
road, and insure dividends to the individual
stockholders and the State which is the rep-
reeenlatire of the -whole people in the matter.
Crime and its Prevention.
The frequency of murder in our own State,
aa well as in others, keeps pace with other
crimes, some of which are reckoned of equal
magnitude with the taking of life, and is re- J
sorted to by those who have, themselves, or
their friends, been injured by the party mur-
dercd. The offense of rape upon weak and
virtuous females, and of seduction, is on the
increase, aud the offender in these transac-
tions of crime, is often punished by a third
party before the law can be allowed to take
its course which is not always certain in
the execution of justice. There are also o-
thcr offenses against society and violative of
the law, which at times have brought upon
the heads of offenders summary punishment,
- - - O '
ing, Ac, One reasoa why men take the law
into their own hands, and punish trespassers
upon their happiness and their rights of pro
perty, ia because of the number of loop holes
through which criminals can escape in the
law the insecurity of prisons, and the abuse
of the pardoning power by an Executive, who
is actuated by a false sympathy or to sub
serve corrupt ends. All these, conduce to
the commission of crime, and to double crime
one bringing on the o'.her. If the laws
could not be evaded if conviction, and after
that, punishment were certain if there was
no jail breaking, no Executive clemency--buta
sureand adequate puuishment ofcrirae;
then, the sum total of crime of all kind9,
would diminish in proportion to the puuish-
ment meted out to offenders, Most person?,
however much injured in their happiness and
rights of property, would prefer for the law
to inflict the punishment of the trespasser, if it
were ceiin that he would not escape by
some of the means above indicated. Also,
the certainty of punishment, would have a
restraining influence upon those who might
be so lost to moral feeling as to meditate
crime.".'
Germania Land Company.
We had a call this week from Mr. Loui
Zimmer, Prcsident-of the Germania Land
Company, whose headquarters are at Grteus
boro, and an advertisement of who3e bust
ness appears in the American. From Mr
Zimmer we learned that this Company are
effecting thesale of much land, at fair prices,
in Guilford and other parts, to n migrants
from the Northern States and from Canaia,
and that many strangers are locating their
families upon farms which they have pur
" chased through the Germania Land Compa
ny. The Company propose to extend their
operations into Iredell and adjacent counties,
and have appointed Capt. Thos. A. Price, of
Statesville, a suo-Agent at inis place, to lur
ther the same. This will prove of great ad-
vantase to those having farms and lands for
eale, who should report them to Capt. Price,
with a description of the improvements, &c,
and price at which they are willing to sell,
which ehoulJ be as low as possible, to induce
purchasers. Incase a sale ia effected, a fair
commission will be charged, but if no sale is
made, no expense is incurred. The Compa
ny was incorporated by act of the last Legis
lature, and ia composed of responsible, influ
ntial and energetic men who, through A-
cents operating in the Northern States, Can-
ada and Europe, are endeavoring to induce
immigration into North Carolina, and pro

from Trenton, and fired it in sev

and five small children, were ordered
under pain of death to remain in tin
burning building, and the house wa
repeatedly fired into to prevent them
to escape unobserved out at a lack
door, eluding the fiends howling for

A voun 2 man named Bragg, to

disappointed in finding him absent,
they turned upon the helpless lamnv,
as suitable victims for their vengeance.
WhiVc the whole county of Jones
is being searched for those who killed
Colgrovf, his militia is allowed to go
unpunished for similar deeds of vio
lence for no doubt that it was the
militia of Jflnes county, all of
whom are negroes, who burned the

statement we do not know; puiiaking

Assassination of Sheriff Colgrove ;
Yesterday morning we were com
pelled to make the sad announcement
that Sheriff 0. G. Colgrove, of Jones
county had been brutally assassinated
on the public highway, when peacea
bly attending to his official business.
So far as we have been able to learn
the facts they are as follows : As Sher
iff Colgrove was on his way from his
home to Trenton, Jones county, on
Saturday morning last, at a little past
eight o'clock, he was shot and killed
by a party of white men who were con
cealed near the roadside. A colored
man; named Amos Jones, who was
with Mr. Colgrove, was shot through
his arm and side, and has since died.
The Sheriff's horse received a charge
of buckshot in his head. The colored
man, Amos Jones, knew some of the
parties. One white man has been ar
rested, charged with the crime, and
also one colored man, -who is supposed
to know something concerning the
butchery, .y"; . -
The fact of the murder was imme
diately telecraphed to Governor IIol-
den, and he has offered a reward of
400 for the arrest ot the assassin. -RaL

ham Educational As30ciation was or
ganized for the purpose of awakening
an interest, and bring about a concen
tration and unity of action, in this im
portant subject. Without the proper
organizations no enterprise or under
taking can be succefi-ful. Ordei and
syetcin are essential to success. We,
therefore, most earnestly urge upon
the teichcrs and other friends of tho
cau?c in each and e vei y county in the
State, the propriety of forming, at an
early day, a pe r m a n c a t Coun ty Asso
ciation, so that each county may fs
ter its own local tchools, encourage
and sustain its ow n institution, which
is piKj Mftvl to be organized as soon as
there are a sufficient number of Coun
ty Associations, Avliich will thus b? con
solidated into one harmonious whole.
The next regular meeting of the Chat
ham Association will bo held a) litts-
c t t .ll
boro', on the '21 and 21th days of
July next, to which we cordially in
vito all.whu'inay be pleased to attend
nnd co-operate in this great work.
The meeting of the State Association
will be calie l early in the fall, due no
tice of which will be :iven through the
public press, and in Avhich we e?pecial-
ly desire every county to participate.
If necessary to meet together in order
to consult as lo the general interests
of education with rpecial reference to
our present condition, to discuss the
minutke of the best.inethods of instruc
tion, to inquire as to the most instruc
tive and u-eful t.'xt-books, and devise
mean3 of elevating the standard of
scholarship and 'exciting a spirit of
emulation among the teachers them-;
selves. By forming thase Associations
wc will not cnlv encourage and foster
the schools already established, but
render them nuclei around which oth
e rs may be f or m cd , a nd gra dual Iy pre -pare
the public mind for the success
ful operations of the great common
school system, to he inaugurated by
the State authorities. Unless we make
the proper t ff-rts, and manifest a dis
position to help ourselves, we couldn't
except to receive material aid trom
others. In order to give an illustra
tion of the beneficial results of organ
izing, we need onlv refer to the schools
established by the Baltimore Associa
tion of friends in three or four coun
ties in this State, where these schools
have been in operation only three
years, and yet arc now over forty in
number, ana instruct more mau u
thousand children. Let us only emu
late the example of these energetic
friends, and in a short time neat school
houses will dot the hills and plains of
our dear Carolina, and the merry shouts
of thousands of happy scholars be sing
in through our beautiful grove3. In
thts era of progress, in this onward
march of civilization, advancing with
such gigantic strides, when nothing
seems beyond the power of man to ac
complish, when the mind 13 asiounaea
at the magnitud of it3 own success,
where nature herself yields to the pow
er of man, and becomes his willing
handmaid, crying onward ! onward !
Shall we suffer the great work of edu
cation to be lost in the darkness of an
age gone ? Should we not rather buc
kle on our armor, and gird our loins
for the fight, each resolving "to be a
hero in the strife ?"
So, then, we appeal to you patriots
to aid U3 in rebuilding the prosperity
of your count j upon'a sure, a lasting
foundation ; we appeal to you fathers
to aid U3 in making your sons sources
of. pride and pleasure to your gray
hairs ; and we appeal to yon mothers
to aid U3 in protecting the virtue and
purity of your innocent daughters,
and at length a new eta of happiness
and prosperity will dawn upon our sor-

Mr. Patiison had previously delivtTiMl

Shooting Affair.
About sundown yesterday Mr. Nat,
Chapman, son of 5lr. Pieron Chjp
man of Charles county ,"-Md.',' accom
panied by the ttheriff of the county and
an armed posse, in the eeine-boat be
longing to Chiiptrari's landing, manned
by its crew, attempted to execute a
warrant for the arrest cf Wesley and
Edward Uavi?, two gillcra in the Po
tomac near Glymont, who were charg
ed with cutting the ropes of h"i3 father's
seine. The parties for whose arrest
the warrants were issued being in small
canoes, eluded the pursuit of the large
boat, and, though phot atscveral times,
made off toward tho Virginia shore ;
on their way to which they came up
on the schooner Star, of Washington,
belonging to Captain Thomas Shack
elford, bound up the river, with the
hands and outfit of a gilling party on
board. Edward Davis passed by the
schooner, but Wesley was hailed by
Captain Shackelford, and told to come
aboard his vessel, from which his pur
suers should not take him. The ehcr-'
ifFs posse then coming up were warn
ed off by Captain Shackelford, who,
armed with a revolver, told thern thnt
they should not board his vessel ; and
still refusing to allow the arrest of I)a
vi?, after he had been told that the ar
rest was to be legally made, the shcr
iff fired at him with a double barreled
shot gun, and he returned the shot,
though he had been wounded with five
balls, one of which entered his eye
A colored man a Land aboard the
vessel named Grayson, standing near
the captain, was severely wounded in
the side, and another of the hands had
a ball to pass through his shirt. Du
ring the fire Davis made off from the
schooner, but was pursued and caught
near the Virginia shore, and is now
confined in the jail at Port Tobacco.
The wounded men were put in one of
the small boats that were in tow orth
schooner and carried to Fort Washing
ton, where the proper surgical assist
ance was rendered them, an 1 both will
be taken to Washington on the steam
er Arrow this evening. The colored
man's wound is only in the flesh, and
it Is thought that he will soon recover ;
but the Captain's injuries are of a much
more serious character. It was owing
to the information lodged by Captain
Shackelford against Mr. Chapman ar.d
his father during the late war that
these two gentlemen were arrested and
confined in the Old Capitol prison.

The Presbyterian Assemblies.
The Presbyterian Assemblies, Old
and New Schools, which have been in
session for such a lengthened period
in this city, stand adjourned. The
members of the Old School dissolved
yesterday, the New School delegates
dispersing the day previous. A good
many crochets, termed religions essen
tials, with a number of involuted points
of modern theology, remain knotted
as before. Reunion has not been com
pleted. The different representations
of the Churchesh ave marched off, and
the soul of John Knox is, it is hoped,
"marching on." Xew York Herald.
The Rome (Ga.) Courier says that
the dry weather of the past two weeks
has improved the wheat crop, but the
rice birds are doing considerable dam-
I age to the crop.

It may certainly be urged in extcnuv
lion cf rhi first instance of the hrp
tehootcrs giving way to a charge, that
the appearance of Mi.s Mj. Dr. M.
E. W., in her novel t'-stume, with
long plume streaming from her bat,
her blue coat and scarlet unmentiona
bles, and charging at full fpeed upon
? great, fiery, snorting, arid furious
horse, was a novel and extraordinary
spectacle, well calculated to excite su
perstitious fears of soldier.
Finally, however, the Major reach
ed the General's headquarter, where,
by a gallant dah of a Confederate of
ficer, her impetuous charger was check
ed and brought to a halt. Her arri
val was duly announced to General
Joe E. Johiibton, by one of hii staff,
who informed the General that wo

We are glad to learn that Col. Wil
liam Johnson, President of the Colom
bia and Augusta Railroad and of the
Charlotte and South Carolina Rail
road, has succeeded in getting matters
satisfactorily arranged with the South
Carolina Railroad, so that he runs his
cars directly from Colombia S. C, in
to Augusta, Ga. In about ten days
a new schedule will be made of a
through line from Augusta, Ga., to
Weldon, N. C, giving a fast line over
the North Carolina and the Raleigh &

line about four hours. HaLStandard.
