tlie sligbtest ripple of excitement since tbe
deptrtufe of the 'United States trtjopa and
the gallant General Gorman,4 until Satur
day,! the ,28th , inst , On that day the train
froni Wilm)ngton brought' to i.us: the Rev.
Mr. B'ake, Superintendent ot Scboolsi ot
tNew Hanover County, the - Rev. Geo- W.
Price, senior, and Col, Sinclair; of T-umber-ton,
who came by previous ' appointment to
address the citizens on' the subject off edu
cation. Saturday' the S3th, was set apart
by the school trustees for opening the new
Normal Academy on BeajSwamp, and the
occasion t was deemed favorable for stirring
up the peopfe on the Importance ot putting
orn renewed and sustained efforts for the
support .off a scboot of :- high grade for the
education and training of teachers for this
1 region of country. Mr Blake made ejt
earnest and eloquent address, which cannot
but; be beneficial to the interests of edtica
tion among this much neglected people,
who are now determined that their children
will be Supplied Swlthv 4h beatnd most
efficient corps of? teachers Ithmoniycb

awakening them up 'to theit duties and

teia ttndet thr new: Ordtr f tMBg W
to show them that citizenship under our 1
fom of government, without educaUon to

of a' blessing. :
t.The 1 proceedings of the. day were some
. iixL j ,4. ,k-
what interrupted by tbe appearance on the
ground of the? notorious Henry B. Lowery
and ' bis 1 gang of outlaws. They came ac-
companied by Br. McArthur, a well known
impression created br their appearance was
that the good doctor' waB a prisoner, and
that the occasion was to be signalized and
dib, pother onge on a d
citizen, j Our fears, however, were soon dis-
celled iiy the doctor himself, who seemed
to bea special favorite with the outlaws,
on account, as they alleged, of his kindness
to the poor colored people of the country,
qn toe wuote, tue conauct oi ine ounaws
during the timo they remained was concilia-
tor, an'd'respectrnl. Their chief. H.nrj
Berry, declared to the writer, it he was let
alone he would commit no more outrages I
involving the j shedding bt blood. Hede-
cUred he - must live, and as he was pro-
hi bi ted by the laws Irom
est calling, he would be

pursuing an hon-
coiupcucu , iu aw- i
age for food among such
of the citizens as
had an abundance. He further declared
that he cherished no revenge against any
public mcer who went in pursuit oi mm,
because ho recognized such;to be the duty
of suet: officers, but men, who, for the re-
ward offered by the Legislature, or irom
private hatred to him or any oi ms men,

As this letter, however, is already too long
tor your columns we will defer a full state
ment, las given - by the outlaws, of the
" famous interview," to a future time.
In connection with, this matter I may
state here that it is very remarkable.that
the "meutal daguerreotype" which Gen.
Gorman gives of the outlaws, wduld never,
in the judgment of the writer, furnish a
clue to the identification of a single mem
ber of the gang, with the exception, per
haps, ot H. B. Lowery, and in his case only
io thc single particular ot the mark under
his left eye. For instance, Andrew fetrong
lias light hair, a freckly face, and red beard
and moustaches. But! more anon.

There is no town or city in the broad

expanse of North Carolina which gives
forth more signs of progress and prosperity

The growth, progress, and prosperity of
the town is all owing to the successful' cul-

and business to the merchant and mechanic,
