with respect to carrying concealed lire arms,
does not prohibit any one from hsnting or neces-
sarily using guns for other peaceable purposes,
on their own farms or premises. This may be
relied on as the construction of Gen. Sickles

S% About the middle of last June, Mr. H.
W. DeBerry, living below Lilesvile, lost bis
wheat crop, which was just ready to be cut, by
bail storm AS soon the weather permitted
he plowed up the ground upon which the wheat
had grown, and put it 10 corn, of course turning
under the wheat that had been shattered out by
the storm. The drought setting 10 soon after,
the corn never came to any thing. During the
fall the wheat began to sprout, and looking so
promising Mr. Deb. concluded to let it alone
We were informed more than week ago that
the wheat was waist high, heading up, and was
given NJ by judges to be the most promising
wheat crop 10 all this section

it from Grouehts in the warm season, and to
prevent it from being thrown out by frost in the

WOrk.-Lawless violence and stealing in a high
degree continues to stalk with defiant spirit in
New Hanover county. Vice and crime of the
worst character still goes on 10 the face OF civil
and military law, and the farmers in the coun
try especially, are subjected to all manner of
evil and robberies OF this sort. On Friday night
last one of our most estmable citizens, Joel
Hines, Esq living at Spriog Garden in this
county, fourteen miles from this city, had his
finest horse, bride and saddle stolen from him.
No has h.I of he boft but he
tracks of the horse have gone 10 the direction
of Jones, Onslow and Lenoir counties. 1t is
evident that these Regulators, who seem to be
strongest in these and adjoining counties, have
not ceased their operations in New Hanover,
and no doubt they still have accomplices in this
county, and perhaps in this very city We
