Murder OF A NEGRO TRADER ~ NORTH CARO-
LiAA.-About five or six weeks ago, Tilghman Hunt,
negro trader, left Goldsboro' for Fayetteville on q
trading excursion. accompanied by Thomas Pitt,
whom he had hired here TO 60 with him. Nothing
was heard OF either of the parties until some
two weeks since, when Pitt made his appearance at
Rocky Mount. where he belongs. with Fix negroes,
two horses buggy, carry all, &C. and large Of
money, supposed to be eight ten thousand dollars
lie remained there several days. figuring largely, as
il appears, during which he purchaseda set of bowl
ing alleys, and negro lie gave several contra
dictory accounts of the way in which he became
possessed of SO much money in 80 short a timc-ons
that he had made il by trading, and another that it
had been given him TO purchase negroes with.
Finally he started northward. giving the name Of
Carrot to the conductor of the train. Since his
departure two three of the negroes have been
taken mp and lodged in Nash county jail They
state that Hunt, Pitt, and the six negroes, had
camped within amile of Fayetteville, near the Csps
Fear we believe, when the two former walked out in
the woods; during their absence the report of pis-
to was heard, and soon afterwards Pitt returned
alone and ordered the negroes have the horses put
into the vehelcimmcdatcly. This Is the negroes ac-
count and may be true, or Il may have been invented
to conceal their own participation in the affair. Pitt.

One matter settled,

The Wigs of Pennsylvania ir their mis-
loriuneconsole themselves by saying that
Wood, the Democratic Governor OF Ohio
who was few weeks ago reelected, is as
bad Freesoler as VIM. F. Johnston OF this
state. Well that must be mis- hty poor COM
fort. But the truth is that of the three late
candidates for Governor in Ohio, Wood was
the least of all tinctured with abohtonisn.
In the Western Reserve, where the aboli-
ton feeling is strong, the Free Soil candidate
received large vote and as between Vim
ton the Wing and Wood the Democrat there
is significant fact which tells which is
most OF an abolitionist. Both Chase and
Wade the present u. S. Senators of Ohio are
or at least were Freesoilers and of these
Chase stumped the state for Wood, and
Wade urged the election of vinton. For
this act Chase was by resolution read out of
the Freesoil party, while Wade is still regar-
ded member in full communion. Who
wants further proofl
But now we bave question 10 put 10 tie
other household-If vinton ran in Ohio on
The Bigler Union platform, and Johnston ran
in Pennsylvania against iha, position, how
came the Wing conventions of both Ohio
and Pennsylvania, 10 nominate General
Scott for the Presidency, and which side of
The house does he belong 10, or is he on the
