The coroner and the magistrates have also acted
remissly, in allowing the ringleaders Of the riot
TO escape from their hands. The result is, that
the magistrates on this side the water refuse to
aid in their capture alleging as reason that the
governor Of New Jersey refused to deliver up
George Wilkes, chief Of the stoo-pigeon gang,
~hen fugitive from justice in that State.
Such il a brief and correct analysis Of all the
legal evidence taken during the recent investi-
CATION Of this most atrocious and dastardly riot
- not which originated in the want OF morals
and integrity among the governing and hghe-
clasaes Of this metropolis, and in the weakness
and imbeciltv of the authorities both in New
York and Hoboken. The united newspaper
press Of this metropolis has expressed but one
feeling Of Reproduction at the conduct Of all con-
cerned In the said catastrophe itself cry has
been raised for the discovery and arrest of the
fingleaders among the Short boys in those
shocking scenes. But who will arrest them
Who knows them! Who will take the trou-
Bile of bringing these scoundrels to Justice
Judging from what we have seen recently trans
acted in this city among the politicians and the
authorities, we should not be surprised to see
some of these very scoundrels the more readily

our town and county,

MEssRs EDIToRs:-It has been fre-
quently remarked of late, that the Old
North State was arousing from her RIP
Van WinkIe" slumber, but never have
seen the truth Of this saying excmpl6ed
until the present time; here in the thriving
little village Of Tarboro', the county town
of Edgecombe, may be seen the evidences
of prosperity and enterprise; new and
handsome edifces have been and are now
being erected, which when completed
will surpass many Of our city residences
While these evidences Of private improve
ment are displayed similar results are ta-
king place in the business parts Of the
place; new stores are going up, and what
is of infinite importance to the tired trav-
eller, large and splendid hotel is in pro-
gress of erection under the auspices OF
that.young and enterprising "prince OF
landlords" Mr. Pcnder, which when fin
ished, will induce you to open your eyes
with wonder if you could but see this fine
specimen of architecture.
But am depressing; my principal pur-
pose was to speak ofthe great interest in
agriculture, which is felt in this section oI
the State, and especially in this county
There is thriving agricultural society
here. which celebrated its first annversa-
ry last July, by the delivery of speech
by Mr. Robt. r. Bridgers, who, by his in
dustry, perseverance and talents, has been
among the foremost in this great and good
work; Mr. Edmund Ruffin, will be invit
ed to deliver the next annual address, and
hope ne will accept. This county has
been often pointed at with scorn, as one o.
the most ignorant in the State; but if i,
has eOe" deserved this reputation, the stain
has long been wiped off, and it now boasts
ofas good and numerous schools as anv
