JL ' In view of the short durations ot life en tailed by some occupations, i must (be re garded as a consolingf yea, as a sublime fact, that labor in general does not tend to shorten life; but, on the contrary by strengthening health, lengthens life ; while, on the other hand, idleness and luxury are productive of the same results as the most unhealthy occupations. Dr. Guv, an English man, in calculating the average duration of life of the wealthy classes, arrived at the very surprising result with regard to adults, that the higher the position in the social scale, the more unlimited their means, the less also their probability of a Jong life.

I have not presided there for the last two terms, having, 1st Spring exchanged that, county wiiti Jutfge Buxton, and last Fall we exchanged' half of respective circuitsitf is trufe that I did once receive a threatening letter while holding Cqtirt in that county, but so little importance did I attach to it tha. I am sure I have nver hitrWforieUit to more than feur persons, and I am quite convinced that they , have not spoken of it.. It would have been rattier late in the day for rac to be frightened at Ku KUix letters, in. as much as I had'inany before that : time con- ' taining the same kind of threats. I will not trespass upon your columns by refuting the other erroneous intimations and mis representations contained in the same arti cles It l and; others were to undertake to answer everything of that character which appears in partisan newspapers, we would subject bursal ves to very great labor and inconvenience-r-in fact it would be imprac-.

Dan. L. Russell, Jr. u ; s A Heavy Burden. ! In; the Biblical Recorder; of t Wednesday, April, 6th, th editor ' carxects a misquota- tienjnade b tisu4i and says that an editor living under tun nose of Elder Hiden ought to be afraid to make misquotations. Now it isnot easj to keep the editors straight; and if the thing is to be done at all, it will require , more than one man to bear the burden. For instance, at the laying of, the corner stone of an Episcopal church ip Wilming ton, both the Star and the journal stated editorially that the Bishop of ijTorth Caro lina officiated. But it is well known; that ciated at that ceremony is the bishop of. that very small, though highly; respectable body, the "Protestant Episcopal Qhurch1' ot North Carolina, numbering some three thousand five hundred or four thousand communicants in the whole $ State. .This fact has been repeatedly brought to the at tention of the Star and of the Journal, but they still continue to insits editoridllv that the said Reverend gentleman is "the Bishop I w - of North Carolina." . Again, the Star continues to insist edito rially that the rite of confirmation, as per formed in the Epicopal Church, is "holy" and "apostolic." But it must be , remem bered by Methodists, Baptists, Presbyteri ans, &c, that this editor is an Episcopalian and that if he insists upon the right to pro pagate Episeopal views through the edito rial columns of his paper, ot course it is im possible for Elder Hiden, or Elder anybody else to prevent it. Arid so when the Jour nal tellf the public that Good Friday was "properly observed" by the Catholic, Epis- copal and Lutheran churches of the city, Of course the poor "heathen" Methodist, Pres byterians and Baptists must rest under the implied charge of impropriety, as they did not observe the dav at all. What are "dissenters," "schismatics," and "heretics" to do, when "The Church" chooses to as sume the editorial tripod? Of course it rests with said "dissenters," to clecide how far they will encourage secular papers conducted under such cir- cuastancet; but I must protest that Bro. ilills must keep the Osbournites, Hard s1iellv&c.f - in ordei, before he expects me to regulate the High Church Episcopalians of Wilmington.

EDrroR Some time during the night of Tuesday the 25th instant, Sheriff McMillaD, with a posse of nine men, started ibr.the house of H. B. Lowery, the outlaw, at which . place- they arrived at sunrise Wednesday morning. Upon making a care ful reconnoisancet they ascertained that H. B. tiowery, Bos Strong and Geo. Apple while were on the premises. Lowery seen commenced picking the banjo and Bos Strong came out in the yard and performed a dance solo, in what some ef the best crit- iques present considered very good style, j "The posse were deliberately disposed about the house, and arrangements made to make an attack on the front with the minor partot the force whi ie the stronger part of the posse. JUly in wait at'the f ear,and5 be- watching tlie itorc Stioig come out with his gun, and walk in a caialess- manner towards them: ''Whiten with n a short distance ot them he . haltedj and (ue. of the party took ' deliberate aim and fired at him. He then turned to run. for tie house and was again fired at by two of thi party. He ran around the house and went in at the back door. Applewhite, who iras sitting in the front yard at this time ot up and went in at the front door. As hewas entering the door another of the possej fired on him 1 and he fell into the housed but, as they afterwards learned, he was sot hit. - The outlaws then proceeded to bar the doors, and tho Shei riff's posse fired several shots into the house, which were returned by an equal number on the part of the out- Jaws, but with bad aim: The Sheriffs party then held a consulta tion and . it w as agreed that the Sheriff should go wjtB one man for rHntorcements, which he proeeexied to do, taking rwith him Mr. Frank. MclCoy. Before "the Sheriff left the outlaws were heard, ioside the house ripping off p-lank, and it was supposed by .the posse that their purpose was to open loop holes through which to fire upon their assailants. An h.ur or so after the depart ure of the Sheriff everything being quiet, one of the more adventurous of the posse, who, by the way, had believed from the time the sound of falling plank was heard inside, that the outlaws were making a breach in the wall to run through, instead of shoQt , through ' (which subsequently proved to be correct), ventured to the house and called to Lowrey's wife, who told' them there was no one there but herself and her. children and was subsquently induced to operi t&e d&.aiid XXZ, The party had been in the house for some time when sharp firing was heard on the roadly which the Skeriff had left. s' The ' party hastened in the direction of the firiDg, and found that five men whom the Sheriff had sent in to assist in cuardinc the house had been waylaid by the robbers and fired on from ambush, and Mr. Iumann was instantly killed; Mr. Thompson, from Bladen, was probably mortally wounded and Mr. Fank McKoy, the guide, wounded dangerously, perhaps mortally. Thompson and Inmann lay where they fell. The party hastened to meet the Sheriff, who was returing from Shoe Heel, where he had been and dollected reinforcements. Hessrs. Powell and Coleman sent their wagon in for the body of Inman, and in going in the party with the wagon met Sine Lowery, brother ef the outlaw, (the one of whom Oxendine said, before he was hung. that Hen7 Ber wa3 afraifl ot bein be I i. 3 1. t i . . .1 1 trayeu uj;, unnging ouc me wounaea Thompson iu his cart.

I forbear comment, but will mention the fact which must be apparent to all, that the Sheriff's posse were disposed on but three sides of the house, leaving the fourth side not only without guard, but actually not in si&ht of the Posse else the outlaws could at least. I Tar HeeP'Makes a Scatenng Shot. Hr. Editob: In my last I attempted to ihow that the reason why we, of the South, remain poor is because we manufacture nothing. ; 'What are we, in North Carolina, doing to bring money into our State! We grow a little cotton, and we ship it off in a raw state, to the manufacturers of New England, but we pay annually more for sheetings, shirtings, calicoes, stockings, &c, than our cotton crop amounts to. ' We produce quite an amount ot rosin and turpentine, but this leaves us very little clear money after paying for the thousand and one Northern manufactured articles which we annually import. The value of our annual imports exceeds that ot our exports, for while comparatively few produce anything for shipment abroad, every man, woman and child in the State daily consume some beyond our limits. articles manufactured Our farmers deserve credit for the man- nir in' which thev have crone to work since the war.

And there is another thing we must do. We pay too much attention to politicians. If any man sets himself up to practice the profession of a politician, let him alone. We must have something to do to engage our minds and make an honest living, and when a politician gives notice that he will on Saturday next address the people of Frog Swamp and inform them how badly they have been deceived by the opposition, just stay at your work. If we leave our farms and our workshops every.time a politician appoints to tell us how badly he wants a good, paying office, our business will be sadly neglected.
