the city. He was then allowed to proceed on Lis
way, but had made but very little progress when
he was fired at and had portion of his coat shot
away. s..t .ss
Search was afterwards made for the highway
men, but all attempts to discover them fruit
less until few days since when one of the party
arrested, and an examination entered into. This
negro gave his name Augustus Williams, and
was recognized as one OF the highwaymen by
the victim of their assault
His identity being clearly established, he was
committed to jail, to await his tria, at the next
term of the Superior Court.
Camp Whiting seems to be the rendezvous of
an organized band Of negro desperadoes, who have
for some time past committed their depreciation
upon the inhabitants Of this vicinity. It is full
time that their rendezvous should be broken up,
in order to secure harmless and inoffensiye per-
s0Es from then attacks n future.

As the alumni of this time-honored So

Jefferson Davis.

GFrom the Southern Churchman.I
Mr.. Editor !: Please allow me Il blIat
space IN that convenient corner Of yom
valued journal which is kindly appropria-
ted to g correspondents" for whose views
the Editor Is, very properly" not to hc
considered responsible.
Ny object is to crave an interest il
the prayers of all Christians for that
great and good man, Jefferson Davis
now suffering under a protracted and
painful Imprisonment. [ have often
wondered that no proposition was
made tor united, earnest supplication il
his behalf by the Church of which he is
member, though l cannot doubt that pray
er Is wont to be offered for him daily by
many warm and pious hearts. But villa
deslIe especially to urge is, more general,
terVent and constant appeal to Heaven for
his relief by Christians of the South This
might surely be made, if not publicly
where all might not desire to unite IL
the prayer, at least by all pious hearts,
and from every family altar, where true
sympathy and respect is felt for him
make no suggestion as to the to,'m OF
such petitions. That must be dictated ~
the feelings and judgment of those VINO
offer them. The great end is, that ferveni-
y desired by the entire South, and, as be-
l!eye, by large and respectable portion o.
the North, his release from impriSo""e'
and restoration TO his family and trle""S.-,
Let us pray for This, in right spirit ana
and with due submission to the will OF God
FAITH.

The Arrest Of Gen. NKahcne.

The disGTaceiul measures instituted a
rainst Gen. Malone, Who at present fills
the position of President Of the Norfolk
and Petersburg railroad, and which finally
led to his arrest and incarceration IN jail
in New York, on the 31st of August last,
have aroused the just Indignation of his
friends. and all who have followed him
through his brilliant career.
It appears that for an infringement OF a
contract between the corporation which
General Malone represents and the New
Bav Line Steamboat Company, by the lat
ter. that suit was instituted against them,
and in the course of the proceedings the
steamer George Leary was attached, but
was afterwards released on security.
In revenge for this, the Leareys deposed
that one Malone or Malone had unlaEfuil3
seized their steamer, and, by virtue OF thls
deposition, brought about Gen. Malone
arrest. The General was in his hotel III
the presence of his family and several L.
dies, and was carried to prison at an hour Of
the night. when efforts to procure his re-
lease on bail were unavailing He was
however, released the next day, $50, 1000 in
funds having been laid down by the pro
prietors of the Old Bay Line as security.
The case will in short time be investi
gated before the proper judicial tribunal.
The friends of General Malone, have
lust cause to be indignant at his arbitrary
arrest, and his being thrust into prison by
the malicious designs of persons, who $io.
lated their plghted faith, and feared the
consequences attendant upon the infringe

that some Of the black seedlings of this

[ have no doubt this is the case, from sam

possessing all the qualities of the Scupper-
nong, known as the Thomas g, ape, which I

these varieties, we cultivate in this section

Robson county, by a gentleman named
Flowers, and by him first brought into
notice. This grape is black one, ripens
late-that is, after the first FROST in autumn
and makes q superior quality of red wine.
It is extensively cultivated for that purpose
in this and the adjoining counties, and for
a wlne-grape, coming to maturity just after
the Scuppernong, will no doubt become a
fayorite and widely cultivated variety of
grape. I know it well, and have often
made superior wine of it, by many pre-
ferred to the Scuppernong itself. As to
productiveness, I think it surpasses all other
vines know, though perhaps it may weld
to the Thomas grape and the Scuppernong
in sweetness. I have even been told of a
golden yellow Scuppernong, and a very
sweet one, which would produce wine Of
that color and thus you can, from one
family OF grapes, which are all equally well
adapted to our soil and climate, manufac-

by Mary Jane Ounce and Daymon Greenwood,
colored, the night Of the 9TH nst in the neigh
borhood Of Fourth and Church streets. The VIC
tim OF the assault presented himself to us and ex-
hbited several wounds on the head, which, al
though not serious in THEM nature, evinced the
determination Of the assaulting party to ;nfict
some personal injury. The attack upon the par

as we are informed, of petty malice.

that the parson sailed yesterday morning for New
