OLD WINTER IS COMING.
BY HUGH MORE.
Old Winter is coming again--aack!
How icy and cold is he
He cares not pin for shiyering back
He's saucy old chap to white and black:
lie Whistles his tunes with wonderful knack,
For he comes from cold country!
witty old fellow this Winter is
mighty old fellow for glee-
File cracks his jokes on the pretty, sweet miss
The wrinkled old maiden, unfit to kiss,
And freezes the dew of their lips for this
Is the way with old fellows like he!
Old Winters frolicsome blade, l wot-
He in wild in his humor and free
lie Il whistle along for the want of a thought =
And set all the warmth Of our furs at naught;
Aud rnf1e the iaces by pretty girls bought
trolicsome fellow is he
Old Winter is blowing his gusts along,
And Notwithstanding the tree
From morning till night he will sing his song
Now moaning, and short-uow bowling and long
His voice is loud, for his lungs are strong
merry old fellow IS he
Old Winters tough old fellow for blows,
As tough as ever you see
he VIII trip up your troters and rent your clothes
And stiften your limbs from your fingers to toes:
lie minds not the cries of his friends or bis foes
tough Old fellow is he!
a cunning old fellow is Winter they say.
A cunning old fellow is he

OUTRAGEs BY THE FREEDMEN IN NORTH CARO-
LNA.-The Raleigh Sentinel, of the oath instant,
calls the attention of the military authorities to
the terrible state Of affairs existing in certain
parts of North Carolina, owing to the lawless dep
relations and outragcs of the blacks. The Senti-
mel says
We beg respectfully and earnestly to appeal to
| the military auth Of the State in behalf of
| our people ii tic counties of Craven, Jones, and
| Leroir, who. since the termination Of the war,
have been suBJocsscdto the most wicked. lawless,
and violent outrages-mGGers in cold blood, and
robberies uncqualled in.tny portion OF our coun-
try. Citizens, quietly aeionnc, or-Rur7u1nS then
| lawful business, are shot down, an6thelr persons
and premises robbed by lawless bands Ct armed
negroes. Our white people are not allowedfc no
armed, but negroes arc known to be fully armed;
and in that section of the State these outraScs
have been renewed in the most aggravated man
ncr recently. The efforts Of both the military and
civil officers Of that section have boon insufficient
to suppress tho disorders. Wclearr from reliable
sources that general uncasiness and larm exist in
those counties. White persons whC are obliged
to travel the roadG are now compelled to go III
gangs for sclf-dofence. No white man can travel
the roads after dark without imminent hazard of
his life. Quiet families are now almost every night
disturbed by these lawless bands, and the slight
est resistance to their plundering is met with in
slant death.

Affairs in the State.

The loss sustained by Colonel II. L. Benbow,
owing to the burning of his Clubhouse in Claren:
don District last week, was fourteen thousand
pounds of ginned cotton, and not four thousand,
as previously reported.
C. NJ. McJunkin, a confectioner in Greenville,
last week detected a negro boy named Peter in the
act of robbing his money drawer. Several pre-
vious thefts were thus explained.
The store of Nh. James $. Stewart, in WINS
boro', was entered by a burglar on Monday night
and thoroughly ransacked. The Winnsboro' News
adds: "Not much WIS taken, but the papers in the
desk were rifed and carefully examined, some
left on one of the show cases, and some dropped
pieces of ladies' dress goods were taken, and there
is no doubt the thief could read handwriting. If
we had a detective from Charleston, it is almost a
certainty that the l%-ascal who broke into Mr..
Stewards store could be detected"
"A shocking affray occurred in the village OF York
vile, on Christmas Eve night, in which one young
gentleman named Smith was instantly killed, and
another named Snyder mortally wounded, by o
person named L. Jones. 1t seems that at a ball
given in the village, and which was attended by
the most respectable and esteemed citizens of the
place. q difficulty occurred between Jones and
Smith and Snyder, in which Smith had his throat
cut from car to ear, dying instantly, and Snyder
WAS mortally wounded. Jones has given himself
up and was lodged in jail.
On Thursday night q desperate negro, named
West Bryce, who had been arrested for threaten,
ing the life of a colored Soman, made his escape
from the Winnsboro' jail. He broke through the
ceiling of his cell, pushed out the staple which
held the bolt that secured the outer (iron) door
and crawled over the top of the wooden door
Being in the third story, he tore his two blankets
into strips, tied them into o rope, and let himself
down. 1t appears from the signs that he crawlet
down with the assistance OF the blinds opened up
on the second and first story windows. From thu
depth of his footprints where he struck the ground
it would seem that his final leap was a consider

SCANDAL IN ENGLISH HIGH LIFE.--A case OF
some interest to Americans was brought before
the police magistrate at Bow-street, London, on
the 10th instant. Sir Eardley Gideon Culling
Eardley was committed for bigamy, in having
married in New York, in 1859, Miss Emily Florence
Niece, who is still living. and quite recently
another lady at st. Georges Hanover Square. Mr..
James MCGEE, father of the rightful Lady Eardlcy,
deposed that his daughter was married to the
prisoner at Calvary Church, in the presence of Mr..
W. Cyrus Field, MIR. Charles Mosely and other
witnesses. 1t was proved that in New York such
a marriage, or one in private house, or even in
the street, was legal, as it was in England in the
time of George II. Sir Eardlcy, defended by emf
nent counsel, commended that the marriage was
illegal. but the magistrate committed him without
bail TO take his trial. Here then, il another
Yelverton case, and another caution to beware OF
titled foreigners, or to mako sure that all the
necessary formalities have been complied with.
Sir Eardley seems to have imagined that he could
repudiate his New York marriage, because there
was no ceremony before the British Consul but |
doubt if that plea will avail him. He had himself
recognized the original Lady Eardley as his wife
in articles giving her a separate maintenance.

The correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette,
writing from Rome on the 9th of December, says
"The evacuation of Romeby the French is al
most completed. Yesterday General de Failly OBJ,
tanned an audience of the Pope to take leave, and
was graciously received by the Holy Father, who
bestowed on him his benedietion and the material
recompense OF the grand Gordon of the Order Of
Plus IN. -.
THE evacuation has greatly mortified the
French officers, who rather hoped to come into
collision with the Italian army, and it is 10 be
feared that all remembrance of the brotherhood OF
the campaign of 1859 has evaporated on both
sides. Certainly the French speak as bitterly OF
their Emperor has acted with as much tameness
toward one as the other. They say it is the mis-
fortune of France to be covered by an Italian, who
will not show fight to the government OF Florence.
This is not a f~attering commentary on the policy
of the Tuilleries, but it is expressed openly, and
by all grades.
'ssThe Pontifcal troops are to be armed with the
Spencer breech-loader, but a commission is to pro,
coed to England to examine the English arms OF
precision. Il The commission, which is composed
of French and Belgian lesitimatists, will include
Messrs. Benoit day, De 81. Priest, De Keller and
De Hemptine."

VOLUME VINO. 737
To the Readers of the Daily News-our
New Terms-The Cash System.

The announcement that on and after the first
of January the subscription price OF THE DAILY
News will be reduced to Six Dollars a year has
been received with many substantial marks OF
appreciation by the public, both in the city and
State. But in order to publish a hrst-class
paper at that low price, We shall be compelled
in future, to adhere vigorously to the cash sys-
TEN, and require, invariably, the payment OF
subscriptions in advance. 1t should be gener-
ally understood that everything required for
the publication of a newspaper-compOsition,
paper, press-work, labor, and expenses OF
every descriptiOn-must unavoidably be paid
for in CASH at the end of every week. II the
credit system is tolerated, and subscribers
neglect to pay promptly, the losses thus in
Cured by publishers in a little while Iecome
intolerably onerous and oppressive.
There are hundreds, however, in our city
who, though anxious to take a live newspaper,
and willing to pay for it, can i'll afford, at this
time, even the small outlay of six dollars
To accommodate this class of readers, we
have made arrangements by which, on and
after New Years Day, THE DAILY NEWS will
be delivered, every morning, before seven
o'clock, in all parts of the city, by attentive
and experienced newsmen, at EIGHTEEN CENTS
A WEEK, payable weekly.
The advantages of this plan are evident at a
glance. Those who take their papers upon the
weekly system only pay out their moneJ, week
by week, as their papers are received they
run no risk; they can stop their paper at any
time by giving one weeks notice; when they
leave the city for a few weeks they can suspend
their papers, and be at no expense. The yearly
cost at the weekly rate is more than when the
subscription at our advertised rates is paid IN
advance at our Office; u there is every reason
to believe that the new plan will, by its sim
plicity, security, and the smallness OF the cash
expense, enable many persons to take a daily
paper who could not become subscribers for as
long a period as six, or even three months. 1t
is our desire to accommodate all classes OF
readers, and those who are not able to pay
their subscriptions in advance can take advan-
tage of the weekly arrangement, which will go
into operation on January l, next.

Napoleon III. is carefully bringing up his son
Victor to the ideas and practice of command and
government. The little fellow is already in COM
maud OF a regiment; he is accustomed to hear and
even reply to addresses, and in a variety OF ways
plays the grand role of state with q wonderful self
possession and propriety. Latest accounts from
Paris tell how he is taught the mode of attacking
and defending fortified places, Batteries are
erected, bastions cannonadcd, trenches opened.
c%arthworks thrown up, and all the obsidional
strategy of war represented in 4 manner suitable to
his intelligence, They are literally teaching his
young idea how to shoot. Such training will give
the boy a great idea of his power and also his re-
sponsibility; and the gravity of that boyish face is
only in keeping with tao torriblo task which life
seems to have laid out for him. His fathers great
teaching will no doubt b. the way of holding power
with stern, unialtering Slipc Of repression.
