10 "FoREWARNED FoREARMED."- We learn
from a Richmond contemporary that Edward
Long, the miscreant who i'm brued his hands n
the blood Of the unhappy WHlTEHURsr fam
lily, and was sentenced to eighteen years i'm
prisonment in the Penitentiary, declared, on
his way to prison, that he had cleft enough
behind him to do the work lie had begun "
We have no idea that the great mass OF the
freedmen have any sympathy with such in
sane designs but there is small class of bad
negroes among us, who undoubtedly are am
bilious to get themselves hanged. The duty
of the respectable freedmen is to keep a sharp
look out upon these evil minded persons Of
their own color, and to make them feel that
they will have neither support nor sympathy
in any mad attempt to disturb the public
peace, either here or elsewhere La this con-
nection, we thank our Wilmington cotempo-
rary for its sympathy with us on account of
our short-handed police force, and congratu-
late it on the happy fact tina it can boast of
an organization OF three captains, six SER
eeants, and fifty men, in city considerably
less in size and very much wanting in the tu
multuous element which has been developed
here. .it
