We now hear of the discovery of new reve-
nue. frauds and whisky frauds in Boston with
ramifcations to Buffalo. 1t is to be hoped
that the. business of searching into these
revenue frauds, which evidently exist all
over the country, and which have deprived
the Treasury of large proportion ofrevenue,
will be prosecuted without any regard to
the parties who may be implicated by the
revelations, or without any regard to their
political effect. When once such frauds are
found to be difficult and dangerous, and
when once it is found that the legel penalty
tor violating the law is rigidly enforced,
coming to an end. But not until then

We remember some "Northern adven-
turers who came here on the 18th of April,
1866 They were headed by Gen. Sherman,
and there were about $4,000 of them. They
came by way of Atlanta. They were long
looked for, and when they came they were
cordially welcomed by all true men. Fore
most among them, towering by the side of
their noble chieftain, were such men as Lo-
gan, Geary, Howard, slocum, Schurz, Cooper,
Schofeld, Terry Fitzpatrick. On that event.
full morning we first saw Estes and Brink
The latter dashed to our residence under
special orders with guard, and the former
waited upon us with the compliments of
Fitzpatrick, and request that we would meet
him on Hillsborough Street and shake him
by the hand. We did SO with much pleasure.
Think ye now, oh ye selfish howlers about
"Northern Adventures" with fat Offices on
your own Northern" backs, that we could
be induced to assail such men as Estes and
Brink2 They delivered US in our hour of
peril, and we thank them for it. They and
their gallant compatriots suppressed the re-
bellion and saved the nation, for which let
the laurel bloom for them while they live and
the marblespeak when they are dead. "North-

for shame! Take it back. Blot it out
Tell the public it was a slip of the pen. Say
you regret it. Declare to the world that
your motto shall be sacredly kept, which,
reminding US of the olden days, perpetuates
charity and good feeling like golden thread

let US all keep it while we say it, and keep

for the Convention.

Conventions to Nominate Candidates
for the Convention.
1t will be seen, by communication we
publish to-day, that Rev. James Sinclair and
o. S. Hayes, Esq, have been nominated for
the State Constitutional Convention by the
Republicans of Robson County. These are
excellent nominations. We entertain no
doubt of the triumphant election of these
gentlemen.
A Convention was to have been held in
marlborough, on Saturday last, to nominate
candidates for Randolph. Also, at Pitts
borough, on the 23rd, to nominate for Chat
ham.
A Convention will be held in Greensbor-
ough on the 5th of October, to nominate for
Gullford. In Smithfeld, on the 18th Octo
Der, to nominate for Johnston. And in Rox-
borough on the same day, to nominate To-
Person.
In reply to inquiries we would state that
it is not necessary that Republicans should
wait for the action of the State Committee
The State Convention laid down plan of
organization, which is intended to apply in
Counties where proper plans of organization
" do not now exist" Let the good work GO
on. Let the Conventions be rs full posi-
BILE. Let them be called by the people, and
let their action be final No man can be a
good Republican and refuse to support the
nominees. The ambitions and the views of
the few must give way to the good of the
many.

now WOMAN FOUND HER LONG LOST
CHILDREN.
Since the prevailing Indian troubles COM
menced, an Indian camp was captured to-
eether with a number of prisoners, includ-
ing squaws and some half ID dozen white
captives, bows and girls, from five to twelve
years of age Word was sent throughout
the country, inviting those who had lost
children to come to the camp and identify,
if possible, their children, as none of them
could give any account who their parents
were, or where they were taken from, SO
young were they when taken captive by the
Indians Numbers went to the camp
many more than were children-and OF
course many returned with heavy hearts at
being unable to find their lost ones.
Among the number who went hundreds
of miles to the camp was mother who lost
two Children boy and girl, one three and
the other five years of age-years ago
Efforts were made to pursuade her not to
go, and so long a time had elapsed it was
certain she could not identify her children:
even if they stood before her. But she
could not rest-she must go. and 60 she did.
On arriving at the encampment, she found
the captives ranged in line for inspection.
She looked at them first from distance
her anxious heart bounding In her BOSOM
But she did not see her children-at least
she saw nothing in the group that bore the
slightest resemblance to her baby boy and
girl as they looked when playing about her
door step. She drew nearer and peered
deep into the eyes of each, who only return
eel her look with stony gaze, yet anxious
one-rhey too hoping to see something in
her that would tell them she was their
mother. She looked long and. steadily at
them, as her heart began to sink and grow
heavy in her bosom. At last, with tears
and sobs, she withdrew, and when some
PAGES off she stopped end turned about
quickly, as, apparently, thought had oc-
CURED to her. Drying her eyes, she broke
forth in a sweet hymn she had been wont to
sing to her children as a lullaby. Scarce a
line had been uttered when two of the cap
tives-a boy and girl-rushed from the line
exclaiming, "Mamma-mamma" The
mother went home perfectly satisfied she
had found her long-lost children. -,'7
