DEATH OF DIR. WALTER A. NORWOOD
The Henderson (Ky.) Daily Mail of the Sd
inst, gives the following account of the mel
ancholy death of DIR. w. A. Norwood who
resided on the Sulphur Springs road, some
eight or mines miles from Henderson:
On Monday evening last, Dr. Norwood had
occasion TO go out to his stable, and while
there discovered a negro man concealed in
the loft" The Doctor asked the negro who
he was and what he was doing there. His
reply was, that his name was Jim Brown,
and that he had run away from Mr. Watson,
to whom he was hired. DR.. n. then told
the negro to come down from where he was :;
but he refused to do so, when the Doctor
sent to the house for his gun, but before it
arrived the negro shot him through the
heart killing him almost instantly. The
villainous perpetrator of the foul deed fed,
and had not been captured at last accounts.
DR.. Norwood was gentleman of high
standing in this community, and was uni
versally loved and respected, and his sudden
and violent death has created deep feeling
Of sorrow, mingled with indignation in the
minds Of the people.
Dr. Norwood was native of HillsbOro',
and resided there until the spring of 1858,
when he removed to Kentucky, and took up
his residence in Lexington. While here he
was greatly esteemed as a gentleman and
it.appears that in his new home he made him
self equally respected and loved.

WHEREAS: By Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln
President of the United States, followed by reoui-
sltlon of Simon Cameron, Secretary of War, am in
formed that the said Abraham Lincoln has made
call for 900 men to be employed for the invasion of
inc peacefu homes of the South and for the violent
subversion ofthe liberties of free
large part of the whole population Of the late Cn@
ted States And, whereas, this highhanded act of
tyrannca outrage is not only in violation of all con-
sttutiona law in utter disregard of every sentiment
OF humanity and Christian civilization and conceived
In spirit OF aggression unparalleled by any act of re-
corded history but is direct step towards the sub
jugation of the South and the conversion of free
Republic, inherited from fathers into military
despotism, to be established by worse than foreign
enemies ON the ruins of our once glorious Constitu
ton OF Equal Rights:
Now, therefore. l, JOHN w. ELLIS, Governor of
North Carolina, for these extraordinary causes, do
hereby issue this my Proclamation, notifying and
questing the Senators and Members of the House
OF Commons of the General Assembly of North Caro-
lina to meet in Special Session at the Capitol in the
City Of Raleigh, on Wednesday the first day of May
next. And furthermore exhort all good citizens
throughout the State to be mindful that their first ale
glance is due To the Sovereignty which protects their
homes and dearest interests their first service is
due for the sacred defence of their hearths and the
soil which holds the graves of our glorious dead
United action in defence of the sovereignty of
North Carolina, and of the South, becomes the duty
of all.
Given under my hand, and attested by the Great
Seal OF the State. Done at the City of Raleigh,

eghty-ffth year of our Independence
