NORTH CAROLINA EMIGRANTs- Several
parties OF emigrants from the State Of North
Carolina, have passed through this city
! en- 1'oufe 1Or the Western and Northwestern
States. Most of these people, finding it
impossible for them to live in North Caro-
lima, have sold their lands. some of them
for one dollar and fifty cents per acre, and
have gone to the West TO seek their for
tunes Many Of them bring their rations
with them, and some that passed through
on Saturday night had just enough money
to take them to Cincinnati. They report
that there is much suffering in the portions
of the State from which they come, and
i that they make the venture of cmigrating
to an unknown State, with the hope of bet
tering their condition. Gray haired men
of sixty and children OF few months old
are found in these parties From the APP
pearance of many of these people sthe ne
cessities that urged them to emigrate must
have been pressing. iStch2n059H Eet02aiae1>.

The old Raleigh Academy, as most Of or
citizens know, was carried on, in part, in
the identical building at present occupied
by Mr.. Ilovejoy. Thousands of educated
young men and women, then and since to-
gether, have gone ont from its walls to ''do
the State service.
At the date OF publication Of this pam
phiet, William Boylan was President Of the
Board of Trustees, and on the Board were
such men as Gov. Smith, Sherwood Hay

In the Female Department there were

OUTLAWS IN WILKES" It appears that
1 lawless set of ''Red Strings" in Wilkes
county, have taken it into their heads, be-
cause the State has been placed under mar
5ial law, that therefore there is no law to
punish crime, and the vicious and lawless
how + +l,,i,. 70
he property of their neighbors to thei-
own use with impunity and commit other
'utrages as well. Last week. a band of ten
II twelve of these outlaws, headed by a
lesperado who says he halls from Mary
and, with any number of aliases, and all I
,ut himself citizens of Wilkes made raid
through portion of that county, taking
lorses, mules, watches, brandy, and other
and compelling by force good
itizens whom they happened to meet to
70 with them. They met man and his
ister in the road with team, took the ami {
nals, and then hung the man to q limb I'M
il he was nearly dead, when they cut him
own and carried him to their camp pris- t
ner. During the night he watched his t
opportunity and made his escape, and q
some dozen of citizens, attacked 1
he desperadUes in their camp, capturing I
alf dozen, the others making their escape {
Our of these have been admitted to bail,
nd three, including the leader are con- 1
ned in the Jail at WilkesborO'." c

EARTHENwARE.-We saw, in the window q
f Mr.. Theim, the other day, two earthen c
hrs, which, we suppose, would hold about 7
light gallons, which he told us were manu-
actured in this county. We did not in Q
pect them closely, but their appearance t
Ias every way equal in style to anything of t
he kind We have seen imported. We wish
reat success to the enterprising potter.
