Can it not be STONED

Mr.. EDITOR Are there no means by
which we can stop the wholesale practice of
robbing and stealing that is now being perpe-
trated upon us by the lazy vagabonds that
infest our land They have been plundering
and stealing so extensively here and in the
country, that the citizens will not bear with
it much longer and if there is not a discon-
tinuance of it, there will disappear many a
skuking rascal. after 10 o'clock at night.
What guarantee has the farmer now of any of
his personal property? Can lie work all day
for an honest support, and then sit up and
watch it by night?
We are perfectly willing for them to be
among us, If they will work and lead an hon
est life. We, moreover, help and encourage
them when it is in our power, aud allow them
to settle Gown and tenant our lands, and in
fact do all we can for their welfare.
But it seems, in spite Of all our efforts,
s}me Of them will be about, and lounge
around by day and prowl about at night, to
see what they can steal. know of one or
two characters of that kind myself; they
have large families, but still they do not
raise as much corn as twelve year old boy
would have done before the war. All must
know that they have to live and | cannot see
how they can maintain their families, and
still not 'cork | have often gotten up late
in the night, and seen them walking up and
down the road with their coats off, planning,

DIsGRACEFUL CONDUCT. Our feelings of
just anger and indignation will we are sure
be shared by our readers when they read the
following atrocious conduct
Providence church" situated about miles
from Ferry Point, has been treated in man
ner which defies description by party of
black fends, who go to one of the freedmen S
schools in the vicinity. These vile negroes
lately forced their way into the above men,
toned church, and not content with firing
bullets through the pulpit, actually covered
the entire pulpit and church with obscene
drawings and vulgar words too shameful for
utterance. We spare our readers any des-
crlpton, through motives of personal regard
for them, and self respect for ourselvesl Vio-
lence and crime of every description, are SO
often INDUCED in by few of there colored
wretches, since their emancipation, that we
put to our readers and to ourselves this ques-
ton? care we to stand with folded arms, and
quietly submit to such outrages? Where is
the law ?"

A WORD TO OUR MERcHAErs.-One OF the
,,raat reasons WHY the business men of this
citv have never succeeded in securing for
themselves the great bulk of trade emanating
from the eastern and central portions of
North Carolina and that even before the war,
the majority of this trade went North, was in
a general measure, owing to their apathy
and want of enterprise; but from a CONVEX
sation which we had this morning in our
sanctum with an old friend of ours from
North Carolina we were actually made aware
of facts that startled us proving that noW,
since the war, great amount of trade which
before went North, goes to Richmond and
Petersburg
Upon our ENDURING of him the reasons
which led the North Carolinians to purchase
their goods in those cities in the interior, he
answered that the wholesale merchants there
not only advertised very literally, but also
sent drummers throughout every section Of
the old North State, whose duty it was to Sc
cure all the trade possible, and flood the en-
tire place with circulars, &c.
Now, why do not our merchants follow the
same example? Why not advertise more lib
orally than heretofore, and have like circulars
distributed among the storekeepers, farmers
&c.
This same gentleman told us that there was
no paper known in the Eastern section OF
Nerth Carolina, but the Day Book, and ap-
peared surprised when we informed him that
there were several newspapers published in
this city. The above needs no COMMENT but
fully explains itself.

REGULAR BULL-Not of bovine extrac-
ton, but of the genus Irish--was made by
person crossing the ferry early this morning
Two gentlemen Were in conversation, and one
was heard to remark, that "since he had been
living in Portsmouth he got into Norfolk every
morning half an hour earlier than he did when
he lived on Ferry wharf" His friend sug-
gested that, in order to facilitate business, it
would be well under the circumstances for him
to move out to Deep Creek
Apropos of Ferry items: A few evenings
since, just as the bell had announced to fall who

boat was about to let go her mooring, a "soli-

long and hasty strides towards the point of
embarkation his raven locks streaming in

quick game of poker. Such was the velo-

Nearly out of breath he mounted the rail of

THE PorIoE,-We cbronicled three robbie

The PoLIcE.-We chronicled three robbie
ries yesterday, two in Norfolk and one in
Portsmouth. We have another to record IN
this city to-day. Now, the pertinent inquiry
is, Where are the police? Where are all the
night watch whose duty it is, more especially
in the night, to protect the properly ana
safety of our houses And the only answer
we get is, no,cherel They never stop depre-
dators, and the police catches them so rarely.
that when they do, we always mention it as
a great achievement The black and white
rascal. driven away from other cities, are
swarming among us, and the utmost vig-
lance is necessary to guard against them, to
spot and to arrest them. Our city fathers are
asleep A bill has been before them for some
time to increase and reorganize our police
force; but it has been suffered to lie upon the
table neglected. and meanwhile burglars and
thieves are plying their vocation very indus
triously. Let us have more energy in all de-
partments of our city government.
Our MUNICIPAL ELECTION will be
necessary to secure the services of men for
the management of our city affairs who stand
above reproach. Deserters, and men who
left either side dishonorably, should be ig-
nored as dark spots upon the unblemshed
reputation of the city's integrity What we
most want, is reform in our city affairs and
police arrangements more systematized in
order to secure rigid and impartial enforce
ment of the laws. Our constables should be
selected from men who are known to be
Jealous in the discharge of the duties of the
Commonwealth, and not those who hold office
for mercenary consideration of personal in
terest, to the detriment of the public pros
perity.
For Mayor we should select a representa-
tive man, of naexible will and conscientious
consideration of Justice to all. -
AS Assessor, a man of qualification, ability
and energy should be selected for that office,
as the most essential to the interests of the
city, and his books should be the very oracle
of correction. No Office requires more energy
than that of Assessor.
Our people have full time to consider the
necessity of who they shall select; and ward
meetings should be called in each ward for
mutual interchange of opinion as to who
are the best men for the office and not which
is the best Office for the man ..

A NEW NOVEL;

STAFF OFFICER SERVING IN VIRGINIA.
Edited from the MS. of Col Surry by
JOHNESTEN COOKE,
Author of
"THE VIRGINIA COMEDIANS"
i With four Illustrations, by
WIN s Low Ill q M Il r.
This is Confederate war novel, including LEE,
JACKSON, STUART, AsHBY, and other Confederate
celebrities, among its dramatis persone. 1t is
very spirited graphic, of absorbing interest, and
the delineations of its historical characters may
be relied upon closely faithful. The author
served on Stuart's staff, met the Confederate
Generals daily, and has portrayed them exactly
they were. The incidents of the story are all
in Virginia, and are as romantic, stirring, and
interesting any could wish. 1t is, Of
course, South-side novel, but confines itself to
the delineation of adventures and incidents, most
of which were of actual occurrence. A better
insight into life in the Confederate army during
the eventful early periods of the war cannot be
obtained; while the work. apart from its warlike
incidents, is excellent in style, and full of inter
est. For sale by
