POLITICAL STRATEGY.

1t is not generally known that certain gentle.
men in this city have been engaged for the week
past endeavoring TO obtain the control Of the Ma
tional Union Executive Committee. appointed at the
Baltimore Republican Convention, in the interest
OF the President and his policy. A meeting was
held here last Wednesday with this aim and
object, but no definite conclusion was arrived
at An informal meeting again held last
evening and the matter in view was found much more
difficult Of accomplishment than those concerned there
in had imagined The men most prominent in the
movement are Henry j. Raymond Chairman Of the
Executive Committee; L. d. Campbell of Ohio, Mr..
Johnsons recent appontee as Minister to Mexico; and
Geo b. Center Of Cleveland Ohio. The understanding
now is to meet for the third time on Wednesday next,
when Mr.. Johnson's friends above.named will make a
final effort TO carry into execution the sale Of the party
There is but little prospect Of their success.
QUALIFIED SUPPORT OF TIE PRESIDENT.
A very amusing and instructng incident con-
nec,ed with the great johnson meeting recently held
at the Cooper Institute York, has just come TO
light 1t will be remembered that a committee was ap.
pointed at that meeting TO proceed to Washington and
present Mr. johnson with a copy OF the resou'
tions there adopted. Bat two Of this commit
tee ever arrived here Judge Pierrepont and
Mr.. l.. T. Chttenden of New.York who waited
anxiousy for days the coming Of the other mem
bers who were to bring with them tie resolutions.
They not appearing these gentlemen left for home. On
Tuesday last Mr. Prosper NJ. Wetmorc who was not
Of the committee, appeared with the resolutions
in his possession and was introduced by Mr.. Seward
TO Mr. johnson that day, in Cabinet meeting.
The President thanked Mr. Wetmore for his kindness
but after the close Of the interview expressed his sur
prise that none Of the Committee should have been

ATTEMPTED RoBBERY.-One Of the there's sho.
Dedd.-The Newbern N. CO. Commercial re-
ports the following outrage: On Friday night
last party OF negroes, six in number, went to
the house OF Mr.. Mallerson, on the north side
of Neuse river. at the mouth OF Smiths creek
thirty miles below this city. The object OF the
gang was robbery. There was no one at Mr.
MallersOn's house except himself, and a ped.
Ter, who was stopping there for the night
Upon entering the lower apartment two of
the negroes rushed upon Mr.. Mallerson, seized
him, threatened him with instant death If he
made any outcry, and kept guard over him.
while the other four started mp stairs in the
direction Of the room which had been assigned
to the pedler. The latter, having heard the
commotion below, and correctly surmising
that the house had been attacked by a band of
thieves. had leaped from his bed, seized his re-.
yolver, and prepared to defend himself and
his property 10 the bitter end. Throwing the
door of his room open, he waited until the first
OF the four negroes who had mounted the
stairs, had reached the top step when he
fired. The bail sped unerringly 10 its mark
and the negro fell heavily upon the steps, a
corpse The other three ran down stairs, the
pedler pursuing. Upon the appearance of the
latter, brandshing bis revolver, those who
were guarding Mr. Mallerson tell back thus
releasing their prisoner. A fight now COM
mpnced between the two whites and the n We
negroes, which was shortly terminated by the
flight of the latter, without any OF the booty
which they had hoped to secure.

the excessive price OF Euano aud other fertil-

scarcity OF effective labor, a small crop was
sown: but we hope from the good qualify and
the high price, the farmers may receive a Just
