DISTRESSING EVENT.

We copy with much regret the following artlcl'
from the last Lincoln Republican. Col. Motz was
enteprr sing and useful citizen, and had many at
tached friends We fear that the approx
| in regard to his fate have been realized. The Re
| publican says:
" 1t becomes painful duty to record an incident
which has spread the deepest gloom over this whole
community.
On last Friday night, after Col. Andrew Motz, one
of the ProPretors of Laurel Hill Cotton Factory, neal
this place, had closed business, he started for his
residence, since which he has not been seen and
the only indication IF his sad fate is the discovery of
his hat and the fastening cord of his cloak, found in
to pass to his home.
At the time he left his place of business proceed
to his residence, which was between and o'clock
night, it was very dark and that darkness deepen
ed by heavy rain, attended by a strong wind blow
ing 6ercey. The reason he gave for turning out in
such Indictment weather, his anxiety to reach his
family who looked for him earlier in the evening.
COL Motz was an enterprising business man and
therefore, his absence Friday night and Saturday
morning ascribed to business engagements; but
as his relatives expressed uneasiness at his
protacted disappearance, alarm for his safety seized
upon the whole community and diligent search
has been prosecuted ever since. All the boats in
reach In constant use, the river has been Garrett i
y examined for miles, and every effort has been made
to recover the body but up to this time Wednesday
morning) no further discoveries have been made.
In addition 10 the general eXertons, the Odu + ell
lows and the Sons of Temperance, (of both of which
Orders Col. Motz was highly valuable member,)
held meetings respectively, Monday night, pass
ing resolves to continue the search as long as hope
held out prospect of success.
In pursuance of an order of his assembled brethren
of Odd Fellows boat was built in few hours on
Tuesday, constructed especially for thorough search
of the bottom of the streams.
AS the bridge was broad. and Col. Mo,z very
active man, the impression prevails, in some minds,
that he met with foul play; but this is only SUPPOSE
ton. He amiable, kind. and obliging citizen
and had, perhaps, few enemies any man living
When last he closely enveloPed in an over
coat and cloak, carrying over him umbrella; and
if he accidentally fell off the bridge, which has no
baIustrade he had poor chance for life, thus enve
oped in heavy clothing; for the water falling over the
dam just below, runs with great swif!ness, when the
stream is full, it that time.
Col Motz leaves devoted wife and three children,
whose distress at present, eciting the deepest SYM
pathies of all, is beyond the power of description.
MIR. Barrett, his partner in business was visit
to Milton, at the time of this sad event.
P. S. Since the above put in type, we learn
that the cloak of Col. Motz has been found. TWAS
hooked up, near half mile below the bridge from
which he must have fallen. Thursday morning-no
further discoveries

CONSUL AT HAVANA Among a number of appoint
ments recommended by the President and confirmed
by the Senate its late session, is that of Allen
F. Owen, of Georgia, to be Consul of the United
States at Havana, Cuba.
This is said to be very lucrative Office. Mr..
Waddell of Orange County, in this State, it sup
posed would get it, "Hope deferred maketh the heart
sick 81" but hope disappointed is even than that.
MIR. Waddell, if rumors be true, has than once
been almost appointed to something other by Mr.:
Fillmore but the prize was only flashed before his
vision to be snatched away This is the justice which
North Carolina Whgsm receives at the hands of this

TO THE PUBLIC.


The undersigned has learned with profound aston
ishment that malicious and unprlnciPled person
has put in circulation in the vicinity of Lowell,
sanderous report that the proposed paper led the
Bee Hive, the prospectus of which was issued few
weeks ago, is to be addition paper!" The report
is WIDELY and basely false and unfounded- having
not even the shadow of shade which to rest. Its
author deserves the inefable contempt of all honora-
BILE and upright citizens, and whoever takes up the
tale and gives it currency, is slanderer and partci-
pant in his guilt. There is no bIacker crime in the
dark catalogue of human corruption and turpitude,
than the fabrication and circulation Of alsehoods to
injure the reputation and business of an honest in
dusrious and unoffending individual. Such is the
wrong and injustice inflicted upon the undersigned,
in the present instance. He is native of the State
was born. brought up, educated, learned his profess
sion, and has lived an tie State Of NOrh Carolina
is himself personally interested in slaUe property,
heartily approves of the institution of sa0ery, is as
indignant at the shameful conduct of the aboioniss,
and as thorough and whoesouled Southron in his
sentiments and feelings any man who breathes the
baImy air. and walks under the glorious sky of the
sunny South. r. X. STROEHER.
