Col. Brown AGAINST REcoNsTRUcrIoN.-We are
authorized by the Hon. Bedford Brown, to state
that any impression sought to De made, either from
party prejudice or from misapprehension of his re.
marks, that he had advocated a reconstruction of
the old Union, is entirely destitute of foundation
Believing as he did that the destruction of the Fed
eral Union would bring incalculable calamities on
the country, he opposed it with whatever ability he
could till Lincoln resorted to coercion. That being
IN conflict with his State Right doctrines, he voted
for secession in the Convention; for the largest
means of men and money, both IN the Convention
and Legislature to resist it besides having voted
with his colleagues for resolutions before the Legs
lature explicitly declaring against reconstruction
More than this, he has, in answer to numerous
enquiries as to the question of reconstruction uni
formly declared that he believed it impracticable
and undesirable after the violent civil and internal
war which had ragged between the two sections.
Thus it will be seen that this gentleman is no
reconstructionst, and we hope people will now stop
doing him the injustice to represent him a recon
sructionist 1t is SANDER on the man. the county,

IMPORTANT CoRREsPoNDENCE.-The House of Com
mons was engaged part of two days last week in
hearing read, from the letter book of the Governor
the correspondence between that functionary and
the Secretary of War on the subject of the decis-
ions of our Courts, and on points involving the
rights and interests of the people of the State. The
correspondence is in every respect highly credtable
to Gov. Vance. We are gratifed to state that the
House ordered the correspondence to be published.
Since the above was written, and as We go to
press the House has been engaged for the greater
part of Monday, IN discussing a motion to recon-
slider the order te publish this correspondence
Messrs. GriSsom and Waddell advocated, and
Messrs. Shepherd and Amis opposed the publi-
cation.
1t seems to that the publication of this CORES
pondence is due alike to Gov Vance, to our Supreme
Court and to the people of the State generally. If
it was proper for the House to have it read to them
selves and to large audience then it is proper for
the people also to read it.

Yankee Raid on Warsaw.

We learn that q column of Yankee cavalry and
mounted infantry entered Kenansville on Saturday
night last, having been sent out from Newbern by
way of Trenton through Jones County into Duplin.
They proceeded to Warsaw, on the Wilmington
Road, some ten miles from KenansVille, thirty five
miles south of Goldsborough, and some sixty five
miles from this City. We learn they cut the tee-
graph wires and tore up several miles of the Rail-
road. The estimate of their numbers, BY Gen.
Whitehead of Duplin, in dispatch to Gov Vance,
is about 1000, with six pieces of artillery. We
learn they seized horses and other property, and
destroyed Freollck's armory at Kenansville If we
had any troops in that quarter, we presume their
pickets were surprised and captured.
Some little excitement was caused by these re-
ports in this City on Sunday and steps were taken
to give the enemy warm reception, if they should
sweep round in this direction. The 99th militia,
Col. Stephenson, was called out regular troops
telegraphed for at Weldon, and Col Mallett's reg
iment of well-drilled conscripts were directed to
hold themselves in readiness.
On Monday morning, at 9 o'clock, large meet
ing of our citizens was held, Mayor Harrison in the

urging general enrolment committee was ap-
pointed to superintend the enrolment, which is
rapidly and enthusiastically going forward.
The enemy, it is said declared it to be their pur-
pose when at Kenansville to proceed to Fayette-
vile or Raleigh.
We shall give the latest news from this raid up
to the time of going to press.
LATEsT-News from Warsaw up to ten o'clock
Sunday night, says the Yankees entered Kenans-
vile, capturing Lanes cavalry company, only five
escaping. Took number of negroes.
Five hundred cavalry pushed on to Warsaw
The train narrowly escaped capture. They returned
to Kenansville, and re-appeared at Warsaw at six
o'clock Sunday evening.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN HoUsToN.-We regret to learn
that the reported death of Captain VIM. j. Houston,
of Dupln, is fully confirmed. He was killed in the
battle of Mddleburg, five miles from Ashby's Gap
on last Sunday week Uune 21sD in the fight be-
tween Pleasanton and Stuart.
1t would seem that Captain Houston's company
was dismounted and fighting as infantry. They
became nearly surrounded by overwhelming forces,
when Col. Baker sent word to Captain Houston to
fall back, but the messenger was cut of. Houston,
seeing that the regiment was falling back in haste
gave orders to those with him to get away as fast
as possible. In doing So Houston himself gave out
and sat down upon a stone wall to rest. He got up
and commenced walking towards Col. Bakers COL
umn, but before arriving there, Yankee slipped up
behind and shot him in the back part of the head,
the ball coming out through his forehead. Thus
perished as brave, noble and generous man as has
fallen since this war commenced In his native
County of Duplin, and indeed wherever he was
known he was admired for his talents and beloved
for his generous qualities. Heightened and chiVal-
rous he was the very soul of honor sound
lawyer and an eloquent advocate, he stood high in
his profession. More than once entrusted by Duplin
County with the care of her interests in the State
Legislature, he took rank with the acknowledged
leaders of the branch TO which he belonged. Still
young bright prospect of future honor and USE
fulness lay before him. but that prospect is bghted
forever and his sorrowing family and friends can
only find consolation in knowing that he died like
true soldier, without fear and without reproach.-
