MORGAN'S LATE DASH INTO LEX
INGTON. KY:

The Louisville Journal, of October 22d, gives
the following in relation to John Morgans recent
exploit with his Confederate cavalry at Lexington,
which shows that our brave partisan has not been
idle since Bragg retired from Kentucky:
We have had vague accounts Of the fight at
Lexington on Saturday. The following statement
by member of the 4th Ohio cavalry is full, and
bears evidence of plausibility:
Company II, of the 4th Ohio cavalry, under
Lieut.. Shoemaker, and numbering fifty five men,
was stationed in Lexington, acting as Provost
Guards. Companies A, B and e, were in camp
on the Clay farm, about mile and half from the
city, the only officers with them being Captain
Robey, of company A, and Lieut. Henry. They
numbered some 800 men. About half past FIVE
in the morning Captain Robey ordered the men
to saddle.
They were in the act of doing so when large
body of Morgan's cavalry dashed in upon them,
having captured the pickets. The Captain order
ed the men into line of battle. Morgan had about
thee thousand men and three pieces of artillery,
which were brought up and played efectualy upon
our forces.
Morgan detached part of his command and
sent them to the left and rear, and coming up
they poured volley into the Federals Captain
Robey, seeing that he was surrounded, and that
resistance was useless, surrendered. We lost six
killed and as many wounded Two negroes were
also killed After the surrender two of the Fed
eral cavalry were shot in stable but not killed.
A mum Der of Morgan's men were wounded, but
how many our informant cannot state.
Morgan took the horses, arms, haversacks, blan-
kets, etc from cavalry, paroled them, and
Immediately dashed into Lexington, capturing the
Provost Guard, aud serving them in the same
manner; anc without stopping any length Of time,
moved off on the Versailles turnpike. BY this
operation he secured about three hundred and
fifty horses with all their equipments, many
prisoners and the arms and accoutrements of the
men We are little curious to know where the
officers of the companies encamped on the Clay
farm were during this time. Why were they not
with their commands?
Morgan is thick set, well-formed man, wei h-
ing about one hundred and seventyfve pounds,
dark complexion, and wearing a moustache and
whiskers with sandy tingc. He wore a plain
suit of grey cloth, without any distinction of rank,
patent leather jack boots, and was mounted on a
superb horse. His men were rough, uncouth
dare devils, very coarse in their language, and
rude in the treatment of prisoners.
They carry nothing but their arms, which
first class, and their blankets, no haversacks or
any other incumbrance, and live upon the coun-
try through which they pass. Their horses are
of the best blood, fleet, enduring, and well cared
for. They fight recklessly, travel rapidly, and do
immense deal of mischief. The officers sener-
ally stay with the men.

SYNOD OF NORTH CAROLINA.

The Synod of North Carolina met in Goldsboro
on the 29th October, at o'clock z. NJ. The Rev.
f. Hines, Moderator, preached the opening SER
mon from 2 Cor. 5: IA, Is. The Rev. j. NJ.
Sherwood, of Fayetteville, was elected Modera-
tor, and the Rev. j. G. Alexander and DR.. f..
Nye Hutchinson were appointed temporary clerks.
The attendance Was not large-tbat of the
Eldership unusually small. Never have we seen
so few Ruling Elders in attendance upon meet
ing of the Synod. This fact, however, is easily
accounted for from the absence of so many of the
Elders of our churches and of their families in the
service of the couutry.
The meeting, however, was very pleasant one.
The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed
throughout. BY resolution offered on the night
of the organization, the first half hour of each
days labors set apart for devotional exercises.
And these were profitable as we'll pleasant
seasons.
There was nothing Of very special interest
transacted, but the usual routine of business
brought up several items that were far from being
void of interest.
About l o'clock on Saturday, Synod adjourned
to meet next year in Salisbury.-N. Curotima

The FINANCES OF NORTH CARoLINA.-It
is subject of just pride and congra'ulation to
every citizen of North Carolina to see the credit
of the State established basis which COM
mauds the confidence of the country. Prior to
the destruction of the old Government, there were
few if any of the States whose Stocks stood above
those of North Carolina in Wall street, and now,
although in the throes of bloody and ex-
pensive war, they stand in the money market of
Richmond largely above par, and ahead of those
of any of the States of the Confederacy. These
facts easily accounted for. The finances of
North Carolina have been faithfully and skilfully
managed So much so, indeed, as to have fire.

PREPARE FOR THE INCENDIARIEs


We were pleased to the action of rhe citizens of
Hanover county touching the preservation of do
nestle quietude. We hope to see similar action
everywhere.
The county Courts ought to appoint patrols or
home .uards in every neighborhoud. Nei ghbors
ought to organize themselves and be ready to rem
der such assistance as exigencies may require
All that is wanted besides is little vigilance; but
vigilance and organization not to be dispensed
with in such times as the present We trust these
intimations will be received as q word to the
wise
There are other subjects that deserve much at
tention at this time. The enemy are changing
their system of war. The plundering that &C.
casional and sporadic before, depending somewhat
on the character Of the commander, is probably to
become universal. The country through which
they may pass is to be dcspoed. The citizens
are to be indiscriminately robbed. In the latest
dispatches which have come to us through the
enemy's papers, touching the operations Of Nc
Clcllan's ARMY, We find the following:
'Gen. Pleasanton is.now Selling all horses to be
found for the use of the Government. without re-
ference to the opinions of the owners
Now SO far as possible, ought to leave moth
ing for the enemy to commit robbery upon. At
all events any thing that has legs, like horse or
beef, should be driven away before he comes

A SUGGESTION.

There are, in this State, not less than one hun
dred thousand worthless dogs-we mean BY
worthless, all such as are not used for guard pur.
poses, or in attending sheep, &c.-whose hides
would go far towards relieving us from the strait.

In hus getting rid of these worse than useless ami
mails, We should be benefited in another respect.
There is scarcely one of these dogs that will not
kill sheep. Millions of dollars are lost annually,
in the States of the Confederacy from this cause.
In North Carolina hundreds of thousands of dol
lars lost yearly, by the destructive habits of
host of worthless ours, who good for nothing at
any time, worth far less than nothing now, un-
less 1t be to aid the spectators in keeping up
high prices. The best way Of dealing with both
classes Of unworthes is to tan their hides. In
Anson, during the past and current year, several
thousand dollars have been'lost in this way. Pre-
ventives have been attempted and remedies for
this great destruction proposed, ia the hope Of
saving the lives of the dogs, to the only end that
We can see, OF keeping certain bits of meat from
spelling in order that houses might be filled with
heas and their owners exercise themselves in
hunting for and scratching after them. Before
the war began, Legislative enactments were neces-
sary to repress the disposition of certain people

and now that We in the midst Of bloody war,

quence Of the blockade Of our ports, are deprived

1t is certainly our duty to afford wool growers not
only all the protection the law can give, but, if
necessary, in the present critical state of our af.
fairs, in this respect, kill the dogs, tan their
hides and thus secure our wool and mutton and

By night tlIc barque was completely destroyed.
II Is said that at night the blockaders sent out u
party to finish the work of destruction. Some
twenty one Of the party from the blockaders who
landed on the beach, were unable to make their
way back to their vessels, aud were made prlso-
ners by portion of the Scotland Neck Cavalry.
There are among these prisoners three COM
missioned officers Col Lamb had got his long
range siege guns into position ready to give the
hlockaGers salute, should they make their APP
pearance this morning. which, however, they did
not do. The destruction Of the barque was their
main object
The officers and crew of the barque made their
ESCAPE, and got safe to shore, but were able to
save nothing whatever The barque, whose name
We have not learned, was from Nassau, aud was
mainly loaded with Salt, which, as we'll as the
vessel, is a complete loss.
This morning, when the fog lifted, Col. Lamb
let Drive at the blockaders with his long ranges,
hitting one Of them aud causing both to keep
away to a respectable distance. We hear some
firing this morning, with now and then the sharp
report of the rihed siege guns.
The barque, in addition to salt had some guns
and gun carriages dry goods, medicines, clothing,
boots and shoes, etc.

WHY Is IT?-Why is it that with the best ore
in the world not pound of Iron is manufactured
in this State west of the Blue Ridge? Will some
one explain? Forty thousand dollars, judicously
expended, would put up all the necessary machine
ry for manufacturing iron of every quality on an
extensive scale, and Iancey county alone has ore
enough to supply the whole State of North Caro-
lima with iron. 1t can't be for want of capital,
for there is enough of that lying idle in this
can't be that the business would not prove remu-
nerative, for the iron manufacturers are realizing
immense fortunes, and will continue to do so while
the article commands the present fabulous prices
Then why is it Is it because We have not the
