RASCALITY.-A man calling himself John r.
Sherman land representing himself a of
Gen. Sherman) has been going through Union
county protesting to be agent of the Govern
ment to sell land scrip to the negroes promising
that each negro that held the scrip should re-
ceive a tract of land. In some instances he
swndled the negroes out of as much as $40 and
$50 each. In certain sections of this county the
negroes have been deceived in the same way.
We have heard of some negroes who have held
this land scrip for months before making any
inquiries about its value. 1t would be we'll for
some one to put the colored people on their guard
against the operations of a set of mean, low-life
sw:nders who going about the country
making false promises, and leading the negroes
to believe that they will get land without buying
it from the rightful owners.
The fellow calling hims elf Sherman is repre-
sented a small good looking man and is a
good fiddler.

weekly mail has been established between this

OUTRAGE IN WILKEs.-One day last week
party of men from Tennessee claiming to belong
to Brownlow's militia made raid into Wilkes
county and arrested and carried off young man
by the name of Wagner. Wagner is native
of johnson county, Tenn, and at the commence
ment of the war joined the LIST N. G. Cavalry,
and did not visit his home during the struggle,
and since the war was afraid to return home,
and settled in Wilkes county in this State and
recently married The miscreants who carried
him off told him they were acting under the
authority of Brownlow, and that he had also
offered $500 reward for him. Wagner was
10 the field at work, and when he was arrested
was refused permission to go to the house for
his coat. The captors placed guard OF two
men, one on each side, and then placed out
rear guard, with instructions to fire off gun on
the approach of any one that had the appearance
of pursuit, and the firing Of the gun was the
signal to tie guards near Wagoner's person to
kill him. When the party was approaching
Tay lorsville the rear guard stopped at branch
to drink, and fell to the rear some 80 or 40
yards Wagner conceived this to be the best
and last chance to escape, he suddenly struck
one of bis guards and knocked him off steep
embankment, and Immediately struck the other
end darted into the woods, by this time the at
tention of the whole party drawn to him,
and they fired volley after him, but fortunately
bis person was not touched, although several
balls passed through his clothing. After lay
ing out in the mountain for two or three days
and nights be got safely back to Wilkes, where
it is hoped he will be allowed to remain unmo-
lested.- Winston Sentinel.

New ORLEANS, Aug. General Sheridan
issued an order to-day removing the entire Board
of Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen, and ap-
pointing their successors. The reasons given
are the disordered condition to which they have
reduced the City credit, and the efforts which
they have made and are making to impede the
lawful execution of the reconstruction acts.

THE WEATHER AND CRoPs.-Beginning with
last Friday afternoon, this section has been visi-
ted by several very seasonable rains, doing much
good to the growing crops of corn and cotton
For week or two previous our planters were
looking very blue, as the crops were beginning
to suffer for the want of rain, ard from continued
and exhausting heat, and in consequence ofwhich
corn in some localities has been injured. Corn
and cotton are both now coming out to some ex-
tent finely Wadesboro argus, Aug. LIST.
THE CRoPs.-We learn from several of our
neighboring farmers that the rains which fell
10 the early part of past week, have had very
beneficial effect upon the crops. The prospects
are now much more cheering than they were
several weeks ago.-New6ern Republican.
LARGE YIELD OF WHEAT-Soon after it
was harvested, in referring to the fine wheat
crop of Thos. E. Brown, Esq of this city, we
said that he had sown FIVE bushels of Baltimore
white wheat upon lot of about as many acres
which We thought would yield, upon being
threshed, about 100 bushels. He has since
threshed and cleaned, and informs us that it
yielded 1l3 bushels. This Is an example of
what can be done by way of i'm proving our lands.
IF our farmers would cease to cultivate so much
land, and turn their attention to the improve
ment of small they would make much
more money at much less expense and with less
labor than under the present system.-.Salis-
