MEssRs. EDlToRs.-As a member of q
Democratic club, beg leave through the
Herald to make suggestion or two TO
the various Clubs throughout Newberry
District. Our. situation as d people-I
mean white people-must surely be un.
derstood by every thinking man; and
certainly any suggestion that can be
made, in which there can be any hope of
advancing our interests, ought to be test
ed. The propositions that / would make
are as follows: Let all members of the
different Democratic Clubs of the District
enter into solemn agreement, that from
the present time forward they will en-
ploy no mechanic who does not belong
to some Democratic organization neither
to patronize any mill, tannery, or other
place, dependent upon the public patron
age, owned or superintended' by any
other than an out and out Democrat
Let all physicians belonging to such or
CARNATIONS have positive understand
ing with each other, that in no case viii
they attend professionally to any Radi.
cal or his family, unless the medical fee
is sent with the messenger; but in case
the patient be freedman belonging to
some Democratic club, let him be attend
ed for half price, and if he has no money
indulge him. until he has. Let Lawyers
act upon the same principle Let all
freedmen that are not mechanics. even,
who take an active part; for the Radical
party, be treated as suggested above for
mechanics. Some insist thas We form
agreements now to drive all Radicals
from our premises next January. A
moments reflection. will, convince any
one Of the folly of such a. course. It is
true that it would be treating them as
they deserve, but it would be ruinous to
ourselves. We must remember, that We
have everything to lose, while they
have nothing. Thousands of barbariars
turned houseIess and brcadless upon a
community at any season of the year
would be ruinous, and most especially
would it be so in the month of January.
This would indeed be- .'cutting oil. the
nose to spite our hce;'" besides. any one
who knows anything Of the deeeitfulness
and fck}eness of mankind is well aware
that If we should have any such un,
derstanding with each other,1 how fe,s
would adhere to it, If they should con-
clude their immediate interests dictated
[ different course. Such an argument
would sooa be forgotten, if next January
% cts for cotton should continue<to fash
forth it's cheeringbeams. Let every one
investigate bis own heart and. he will
know that this is true. The only plan
conceive is that suggested above. Let
the prominent aracters be made to feel.
and they will soon come over and drag
the mass with them. The community
might; and no donbt will, feel some in.
convenience by adopting the course that
have suggested. But If We. are all ss
patriotic as, we think we are, we will not
mind these trivial sacrifices. We can
undergo them for short time at least,
which is all that,is necessary.

re- On the evening of the oath of December,
the people OF that part OF Greene CO., n. G., near
Fountain Hill, were much excited and alarmed
to learn that band of robbers was in the neigh
borhood, armed 4 prepared for robbery & murder.
Two negroes, John Dixon and Hardy Coward
gave information concerning these despcradoes,
and with others commenced operations to arrest
them. In short time Needhan Speight, alias
Needham Evans, and John Dunn alias Gusts,
alias John Miller were ovcrtakcn and arrested.
These negroes had three double barrel guns, two
pistols and one dirk three sacks of clothes ladies
fine dresses; ladies Undertaking; pants, vests,
shoes, and decanter of old peach brandy &c. &c.
The next morning, Christmas the place in the
woods where they had stopped the day before,
was discovered. Here were found the notes,
bonds bankstock &C., of Willis Briefly, whom
they had robbed and murdered the day before.
These had been thrown away worthless. These
scoundrels confessed that they shot Briefly, rob-
bed and beat Taylor; shot G. NJ. 4. Griffin; and
that it was their intention to rob the Stores at
Fountain I'll ILL., and also f. VI. Pittman's about
mile distant, the very night they were arrested.
Lewis Curtis, alias Lewis Cogdel was with Evans
and Miller but had left them the morning be-
fore they arrested at night, to go to Kinston,
after more to help them to rob Fountain Hill.
We were more than pleased to learn, at kins
ton. that large number of arrests had been made
of parties implicated in these outrages, and that
about thirty were safely lodged in the Jails at
