He agreed with the Govcrnor that

He advocated the justice Of all the

subject Of the North's repeating the

EDITORIAL PILFERERs,-We have pa
per on our exchange list which is very IT.
regular. 1t failed to arrive last week but
accidentally laying our hands upon copy,
long article was discovered under its Ed
itorial head copied verbatim, hteratim ct
punctuatim from the Spectator. Now we
are by no means complimented by this spe-
cies of petit larceny. Tie reflection that
"great minds will think alike is not con-
sohng in such cases, and we must promise
the conductor Of the sheet in question tho
rough exposure if he does not think differ
emily. We have noticed frequently when
his paper reached US that it contained edi-
torials stolen from our neighbors, and have
just found out that it sponges upon US when
II reaches them.
AS general rule we prefer to pass by
these hght-fngered gentry of thepress with
out notice. An incorrigible poacber has
extorted the above, which we hope will be
the last. If he will steal let it be some
thing which will enrich him-not 'make
him poor indeed, in the estimation of his
contemporaries.

&C. The Slaur,on Spectator, in noticing that the
people of Lynchburg had determined to build a
new Court House, suggests that they build an
additional JAIL as such building seems to be most
needed there about this time.
The story Of two young gentlemen, from Bali

and who are our nformants, may be appropriately
mentioned in this connection. When they arriv.
ed within two days travel Of Lynchburg, the re-
cent horrid tragedies Of that town being the topic
Of conversation a every little village they stopped
at, they determined that each should supply him
self with an additional Bowie knife and brace Of ps

were to be procured, after much inquiry after the
best article, they supplied themselves, as they had
previously determined. The weapons procured, a
day or two were spent in practising, NOT did they
