LEWIS BoWELL.

While the British army was on its
way to Wilmington. after the Guilford
battle. it lay encampcd for day and
a night on Haymount at the west end
of Cruss creek, now Fayetteville, on
the ground at present occupied by the
United States arsenal and number
Of private dwellings. During this time
the soldiers, in little squads, ranged
through the village. gratifying their
curiosity or their propensity to plum
der; and in these plundering opera
tions, as usual with the British ar
my wherever it went, the Wing por-
ton Of the community were the prin-
cipal sufferers. The soldiers, when
ever they could, seemed to take ma
licious pleasure in wantonly destroy
ing the property and distressing the
families OF those who were in favor Of
independence and numberless acts Of
cruelty aud Of an inhuman disregard
to the safety and comfort Of the help

which were utterly Inconsistent with

BOOTEEs S
TO OUR FRIEN E,s.

aETE have Just received a lot Of New Types,
w part Of which arc intended for tho con-
.zempiatcd enlargement Of the Recorder, and the
Others to enable us to execute in better style
Blanks and other lob Work. Our friends will
SEQ from this that we are in earnest in the mat
aor of the enlargement Of our paper, and We
hone to receive sufficient encouragement to en-
shic as to do 50 before the mecting of the Lo-
stature. All that remains to accomplish i is
Inc purchase OF new Press. The paper now
Is az large as our old Press will print; and be-
sides. having withstood the assaults of the Brit
ish in the war of 1872, it is somewhat difficult
10 be kept in order, and cannot be safely relied
on. An addition of l50 new subscribers, with
an advance payment woald meet the necessary
expenditure at once. We appeal, then, to our
friends in Orange, Alamance, Granville. Person,
and other neghboring counties, to aid us. BY a
little eif,rt from each of our present subscribers,
all that we require could be accomplished In a
Few days. The enlargement would make con-
siderable addition TO the amount of reading mat
aer each week, and would greatly increase the
usefulness and licency of the paper If pro-
perIy encouraged we shall cndeiyor to make
the REcoRpRR not only a IA thful exponent ol
Whig principles, but also one of the best Fami-
" Papers published in the State. Who will be
the FIRST to respond to our appeals We have
Irbored faithfully and long in the Wing cause,
and for what we believed to be the true into
rests Of North Carolina, and surely an appeal
-now u the friends with whom we have co-ope'
rated, will not pass UNDECIDED.

WILLIAM CUMMINGS & co.

Towards the close of the wear 1880,
probably in the mouth Of December,
William Cummings, John Faddis and
William Crabtrce, citizens of HILLSIDE
rough, went cut one morning before
day on fox hunt, and to avoid as much
as possible the danger Of falling into
the hands Of euemies. they went into
a sectinn, six or eight miles east or
northeast from the village, where the
people were nearly all in favor Of in
dependence; for, at that time. when the
Tories were nearly everywhere so i'm
pudent and 50 confident of success.
such small party could not 60 into
any other than Whig neighborhood
without running a great risk Of being
killed or taken prisoners. A little at
ter sunrise, being very cold and hun
CRY. they concluded they would call at
the house of Thomas Couch, to warm
themselves and get something to cat.
As Couch was well acquainted, with
them. and withal a good friend to his
country, he received thcm- kindly and
treated them as well as he could. Hav-
ing attended to their horses and gwen
directions for breakfast, he asked them
to walk with him to his hog pen. hun.
drc,l or hundred and FIFTY steps from
the house. and see his hogs that he had up
iattcning for hiswinter's meat. Faddis
and Crabtrce accepted the invitation |;
but Cummings thought he would be
more comfortable BY the fire; and, as
the female part Of the family were out
in the kitchen preparing breakfast. he
was left lar the time being, TO amuse
himself with his own metlitations on
the forthcoming breakfast or anything
else he chose.
ia There was maniiving in the neigh
borhood, two m three miles oil, by the
name of Jake Bracken, who was zeal.

improve any opportunity that occurred
for aiding the cause Of his master. Tie

EXTRAORDINARY PIsToL.--The
London correspondence of the Bos-
ton IraUeEer writes: i have just
been shown a rifle pistol, invented by
an English gentleman resident at
Ratisbon, and which is calculated to
make as great revolution in that
arm as the Mimic rife in musketry.
1t can kill at 500 yards Last
week it was tested before experienced
officers at Woolwich, and completely
stood the trial. Since then it has
been exhibited to Prince Albert, and,
from my own observation, Il can
vouch for the efficiency of this ex-
traordinary weapon. 1t is easily
charged, and has sights regulated at
200, 800, 400, and 500 yards. 1t
is, besides. light and beautiful. On
ly fancy a revolver of this descrip-
ton, with 81 x or eight barrels,

ter of mile off. The whole de-
bends on the riae-grove.
