A Mean White Man!

We are in receipt this morniog OF copy of the New
bern Progress OF the 29th ult published By E. L. Da
venport Co., the Co. being one Geo. Mills Joy, whose
name hourisbes over the editorial head as Editor.
The paper is really too stupid for anything. So very
stupid that we wish the Lincolnites joy" of their
editor.
Among the items of neUs which we find under the
head of The Rebellion, is the important intimaton
received from Washington that New Orleans is now in
the hands of the Federal forces Verify!
Aud again" A Sergeant OF the twenty first Massa-
chusetts regiment writes that among the cannon cap
tured by General Burnside at Newbern, thirteen
brass field pieces taken by the enemy Confederate
Bull Run This fact would seem to indicate that the
rebel troops in the battle of Newbern least part
of them were from Manassas !" Prodigious
But really the thing is altogether too stupid for any
thing 1t lies right ahead with natural desire to lie,
but without sense to be even good liar
Is E. L. Davenport the same man who once published
paper in Newbern, gassy, wind bag, noaccount sort
of person, who subse quently went from Newbern to
E1enton, and there published little affair, about
as no-account anything could we'll be? Has he ID
deed added and theft to his other shortcomings
We say theft, for the who would appropriate an
other mans private property is in fact thief. Well
people will follow in the wake of the Lnconites.
The traitors from this State generally such stupid
rognes that they are good radiance What knavish
fool and what foolish knave is E. L. Davenport!
