‘ All seaboard North Carolina is at present
engrossed with the outrages of the Lowery
gang. Lowery is the name of a mulatto,
whose full title is Henry Berry Lowry, and
he is reputed to be of mixed mulatto and
Tuscarora Indian stock—bis grandfather
having removed 'from Halifax county, the
_ 'hiscaroras’ hat abode in the Carolina, to
Robeson county, on the southern frontier.
Henry Berry Lowery, and his brother and

Better counsels prevailed, however. with
Henry Berry Lowery, and be was induced
to give himself up to the shorifl' of the coun-
ty, after he had once been arrested on the
night of his wedding and had broken jail.
A proposition being made to deal outlyuch-

Ihe scourge of North Carolina, killing six-
teen of the best citizens on the high roads or
at their homes, and has committed also
above Ibrce hundred robberica These lob-
bcrit-s are said to have involved the 10s of
above two hundred thousand dollaraaud, ut
the lust adventure of the sort, a safe was
carried away with twenty-eight thousand
dullam in it. Some of the murders of this
gang have been of arevolting nature—shoot-
lug down citizens in the presence of their
families, or assussiuatlng them in the neigh-
borhood of their homes, even within sight
of companies of United States troops as-
sembled to hunt the outlaws. Every person
who has had the hardibood lo pumuc this
band, has been wnylaid and murdered, and
now the whole county is in a state of terror,
and. although appraised at fortyfive UIOUS‘
and dollars, to be given fortbeir bendadcad

woods. and hide in the swamps, and even
come out at the railroad stations, with
cocked guns, covered all over with loaded
repeaters, and, in some cases, carrying Spen-
cer carbines, and they have defied arrest.
For nine years these atrocities have been go-
ing on, and, at present, there is a profound
trace. between the Lowery: and the law.
They warn men out of the county under
penalty of death, and enjoin the aberil‘ not

Love letters must take it out of a man, and,
in a point. of fact, love-making requires an
amount of time and concentration of pur-
pose that can be ill spared from profession-
al pursuits. Eminence generally means
efi‘ort, and a man in full work cannot afford
time for such ludt'bn'a hence. They form
the glorious privilege of leisure and of
youth.
The lawyers are people, “110,113 a class,

Suflcea, or which that. famous jurlst, Judge

when he was onlyt‘ighleen. \Vhen Charles
Yorke. afterward Chancellor Hurdwlck,
asked a Worcestershire squire for the band
of his daughter. lb" old gentleman politely
asked him about his rent-roll. The young
lawyer replied that his mtau‘ consisted of
“u perch of ground in “'cstminster “all.“
Similarly. when (‘lmrlcx Abbott, afterward
Lord Chief Justice TI-ulerdcn, was asked
by a Kent'mh squire about his estates, the
young pleadcr shmvd him his books: in one
room and his pupils in number. Both Lady
Scott. and Lady Tentvrdcn were esteemed
rather narrow in their housekeeping. After
all, the best kind of love letter is that which
a man writes to his wife, and thereisat least
one very sweet love lctIr-r which Abbott
wrote to his wife while on circuit, with a
lot of poetry in it.

cept us an historical document, written by
tbul uoble- character the that Lord Cowper
to his sweet-heart when :1 young templur.
[I is in stutcller pbraxc than the present
familiar style beginning " dearest madam,"
and ending "your very humble and afi'cc~
tionutc sen-nut." He tells her, “ I Wish my
thoughts that are so often with you when I
am not, wcrcuot invisible; then you might
save yoursel‘ the trouble of readingauch like
note!) .and see at one view how dismounted
they are when I canmotwsit on you. You
would see how impatient they grow under
any other business, and I'm sure, without
further apology. would excuse me and for-
give my absence for their looks." Thisia
certainly very prettily expressed by the
young tomplar. This is the ebmllor of
whom Voltaire used absurdly to say that be
defended and practiced polygamy. Gow~
per’s letters to his wife, and the journals he
kept fmm her. show him to have been a
most excellent husband. So far sswe are
acquainted with legal biography, it must be
said that marriage generally answers very
well for the lawyers. They seem to heme
keenly alive to their responsibilities, and
settle down steadily to their business.
The men of science do not. appear, on the
whole. to have been equally happy. W's
should liketo have seen Compte‘l letters to
his Clotildc, but, as a rule, it is ill for man
of science to fall in love with n woman of

The ('omicalltias of Wooden lags.
Every reader of Pickwick (says a maga—
zine wrltcr) recollects the evening with Mr.
Bugging and the Bricklanc Branch 0'! the
Ebenezer Temperance Association. The re—
port details the case ofTbomas Burton pur-
veyor of cat‘ a meat to the Lord Mayor:
“ Has a wooden leg; finds a wooden leg ex-
pensive going over, the stones; used to wear
second-hand legs, and drink a glass of hot
gin and water Every ningometimm two.
Found the secopd—hand wooden legs rot and
split very qulckly; is firmly convinced that
the constitution was undermined by the gin
and whiskey. "Buys new wooden legs, and
drinks nothing but. water and weak tea. The
new legs last. twice as long as the others
used to do, andbe attributes this solely to
his temperate habits?" This conclusion of

tradition asserts that they, with all animals,
came out of the ark and left their tracks on
the softened rock. This tradition evid-tly
came from the teachings of Jordlnc, the
Catholic priest, who accompanied DeSota in
1589 and 1540, and sojourned in Nacoochee
fora year. That this '3 not true we have
only to say that the rock in which are " the
tracks“ is plutonlc, and neither animals nor
vegetables could live on the earth at that
time.
In their tradition they Isuy that it always
rains “hen any one visits the spot,” if sym-
pathetic nature wept at the recollection of
the sad catastrophe which these sculptures
were made to commemorate.
It was on the 3d of July that myself and a.
select party camped within four miles of this
interesting mountain, on a scientific tour, to
determine the truth of the tradition. At 5
A. 11., we walked up by our guide, and found
the heavens overcast with scowling clouds.
We quickly saddled our horses and pushed
for the “Enchanted Mountain." At So'clock,
we arrived at the main sculptured table, and
quickly broke a bottle of champagne as an
ofi'er'mg to appease the wrath of Jupiter;
and, after a toast to the‘ Fourth, we ate om
breakfast and immediately mmrmenced cut-
ting out a beautiful track of a woman, for a
present to the Female Academy at Atban,
when the angry clouds, surcharged with el-
cctrlcity, discharged a. sharp tbumler~shock
and a deluge of rain to prevent the sacrilig-
ions act; but we breasted the storm, disin-
tegrated the footprint of the lovely goddess;
and mapped it in a scented paper and gal-
lopcd off for four miles, when the storm cud-
ed and we saved the relic.
It is a pity and a shame that those invalu-
able relics of a once powerful, but now ex-
tinct race, should be lost for the want of the
contemptible sum necessary to their pm
vatioa. The Salisbury collection, in' Int
land, cost over two hundred thousand dol-
lars, and the most of it was procured in the
West and Georgia for a mere bazutella

Young Lady said It was exceedingly dificult
to write the next two lines, because not only
rhyme but meaning bad Iobcprocured. And
this is true; anybody can write first lines,
and that Is probably the reason we have so
many poems which seem to have been begun
in just this way, that is, with a south wind
longing without any thought in it, and it is
very fortunate when there is not wind
enoughtofiuisb them. This emotional poem,

iscnlled “ suggestive, although I did not

said, “ Nonsense ;" but she afterward told
the mistress that there weae emotions that
one could never put into words without the
danger of being ridiculous; a profound
truth. And yet I should not like to say that
there is not a tender lonesome“. in love
