FuLL PARTICULARS OF TIRE DEATH OF Carr.
HARRY n BAKER. From a letter written BY
George Lander. Esq, Postmaster at Fsyette-
vile, North Carolina, dated December 21st,
and.received.last evening at this Office, we
gleau the following particulars of the death of
Capt. Harry n. Baker: Mr.. Baker, it appears,
after being mustered out of the service ofthe
United States, took up his residence in Fay
etteville, and soon after established line OF
stage coaches between that and Warsaw, on
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. On
the tenth day of November last, Capt. Baker,
in company with Messrs. Bowes and Newal,
was returning from Warsaw in one of the
coaches driven by negro. When within a.
bout ten miles of Fayetteville, they met sol
itary horseman, who presented revolver,
ordered the driyerto halt, andat once demand
ed of the inmates Of the coach the money and
portable property in their possession. Mr..
Bowes was'in the act of taking some money
from shs vest pocket when the highwayman
fired his pistol, the ball striking him on the
hand, but glanced off, without inficting any
serious damage Both Bowes aud Newal
then threw themselves upon the floor of the
coach, second shot passing over them. The
robber next turnedhis attention to Mr.. Baker,
and taking deliberate aim fred, the bali en-
| tering his body above the hip. Another shot
was fred which entered the back of the head
of the driver, who fell into the stage apparent
ly dead. Mr.. Baker then jumped down upon
the pole Of the vehicle, gathered up the rains
and started the horses at full speed. The
robber followed, and fredagain, this time, hit
| ting one of the horses, and inhicting severe
wound. He then road ahead of the stage,
apparently for the purpose Of reloading his
weapon. While SO engaged, two gentlemen in
buggy came in sight, when the disciple Of
| Dick Turpin took to the woods, and almost
instantly disappeared. None of the party
were armed, hence no resistance was made.
The negro was left at house about a mile
from the scene of action, where fresh horse
was procured, and the stage arrived in town
between six and seven in the evening
| Mr. Baker was at once taken to the resi-.
dence of Alexander McPhail, Esq, where he
boarded, and physician sent for who pro
nounced the wound serious, but not necessa-
rily fatal. The next day after, another physi:
clan was called, and under their treatment
Mr.. B. gave signs of rapid recovery. On the
18th, however, a change for the worse tool
| place, and on the morning of the 18th h'
breathed his last. Captain b. was highly es
teemed by all who knew him. Although ey
cry effort was made to capture his murderer
the scoundrel escaped and is still at large.

A novel insurance case has been

proved: A building is insured
against loss By fire. 1t falls down,
being heavily overloaded with mer-
chandise; the fall occasions O fire,
which destroys the fallen materi-

that the building insured having

that it ceased to exist by reason

Military Interference
Overruled.

The following order from Secre-
tary Stanton, disallowing military
interference on behalf Of parties
indicted in State Courts, has been
promulgated by the War Depart
ment:
WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHING
TON, d. c., June 6, 1S66.-Major
Gen. T. j. Wood, Commander, ETC.,
Vicksburg: The attention of this
Department has been called to the
case of Porterwood against Treasu-
ry Agent Harrison Johnson, dated
at Vicksburg, 23d April, directing
him to plead Gen. Grants Gener-
al Order, No. 8, in bar of said
suit. AS the act of Congress now
affords jurisdiction of such cases
to the Federal Courts, with ample
means for judicial protection, it
is not deemed necessary for militia
ry authority to intervene in be-
half of Mr.. johnson, or in any
way interfere with the action of
judicial tribunals having cogni-
zance of his case. You will there
fore abstain from interference in
the case.

How they Treat Niggers.
From the Lacrosse wis. Democrat.

From the Lacrosse Owls. Democrat.
A correspondent writing us from
st. Clair County, Illinois, gives an
incident which illustrates, in a
forcible manner, the regard felt
by our abclitionists for tAeircolored
brethren.
An intensely loyal chap living
three miles north of Lebanon,
whose first name is Adolphus, and
whose other name corresponds
to one of the points of the COM
pass, leased potato-patch last
year, to an "American citizen of
African scent" the rent of ground
to be half Of the crop. The
niger was fair specimen of his
improvident race, having neither
seed potatoes nor the "wherewith-
all to purchase them. Plying
his distressed condition, the father
in-law of ''loyal" man No. l,
more intensely '1oyal' than his
worthy son-in-law, consented to
furnish the seed, telling the
"down-trodden African" that when
the "taters" came to maturity he
could make it"all right with loyal
No.2. So the poor niger, having
land and potatoes, stirred up the
dirt, put in the seed, 'kivered
them up" and the rain descended,
and the sun shone, and the pota-
toes vegetated, and put forth vines,
and the vines blossomed, and
grew brown and dry, while new
potatoes formed of noble size and
excellent quality, as negro pota-
toes generally do. Then the ne
gro dug the vegetables, and as he
looked upon them, his bowels
yearned hungrily over them, his
Iivories shone, while the whites
of his eyes grew larger, and his
lips swelled to the size of beeves
livers, with ecstacy. But negro
pride was to have a fall. Along
came loyal No. l, and took bis
rent, agreeably to contract, even
one-half of the potatoes. And as
he departed freighted with his
load, the venerable No. 2 came
with his team, and took the other
half Of the nigger's potatoes tc
make it call right leaving the
wretched Abolition pet utterly
destitute.
This is almost as neat a piece
of sharp practice as that OF the
Wisconsin Loyal Lacquer who
stole a niger down South and
sold him to a neighbor for dog
pup. For downright meanness
there is not human being on the
face Of the earth equal to a loyal
Abolitionist.
