.. WHEREas, information has been receiv.
ed that certain peaceable citizens Of the
Confederate States have been seized and put
to death by order Of General Fitch, com.
handing the Army Of the United States,
which had invaded the State Of Arkansas,
upon the ground that one Of the said invad-
ing army had been shot by some unknown
person, who. whatever his condition, had en-
unquestionable right to defend bis home I;
and whereas. inquiry has been made Of the
Government Of the United States as to the
correctness Of the said information, and
whether the action Of General Fitch has the
sanction Of the said Government, to which
inquiry the authorities Of the United States
have refused 10 answer aud whereas. our
Government is thereby driven TO retaliatory
measures as the only means TO protect the
lives Of the peaeesble citizens OF the Con.
federate States, who may fall into the hands
o. General Fitch, or any person acting under
bis authority.

FRon THE CoAsT.-Rumors Of various kinds
have reached here, within the last few DAYS,
OF aggressive movements being made from
Newborn by the Yankee force there under
Foster.
From the best information we can receive
they landed, on Friday or Saturday, a force
at Swansborough, in Onslow county, which
has been stated 40 amounting to between two
and .hree thousand part Of this force con.
sisting Of cavalry and artillery. They sue
ceeded in capturing one Of Captain Wards
pickets.
Among other depredations committed BY
them, we learn that they destroyed Mr..
SCOTS and Mr.. Sanders's Salt Works, and
perhaps other Salt works on that part Of the
coast. In fact. we have just learned that
they destroyed every salt work, or arrange
ment for making salt, within ten miles Of
Swansborough. They are the same marau-
ders who recently advanced in the direction
of Kinston.
To the great value Of these works-their
indispensable necessity at this time-we
think the attention OF the Confederate and
State Governments ought to be called. No
doubt the enemy contemplates further depre-
dations Of the same character nearer Viii.

Hon. ADRIAN RENcHER.-We had the plea
sure Of seeing this gentleman in town yes
terday, on his way with his family to his old
home near Pittsborough. Mr.. Rencher, our
readers will remember. was appointed by
Mr.. Buchanan Governor of New MEXICO, and
occupied that post with much credit to him
self and beIeficially to the Territory, until
his State decided to sever her connection
with the Federal government. Gov. Rem
cher labored for some twelve months to get
through with the settlement of his accounts,
and to obtain permission to cross the lines !;
and this permission he obtained only recent
ly, after numerous and most perpIexing diff
culties. His old friends and the people of
the State generally will welcome him back
to North Carolina. There is no truer South.
ern man than Abram Rencher.
