The Murderers of Ashhnrn

A telegram the other clay endeavorcd to
excite sympathy for the men arrested by
Gen. Meade, and charged with the murder of
Geo. W. Ashburn, of Columbus, Ga. 1t
prophesied their release by Congress. On
the other hand, Gen. Meade says he has no
doubt of their guilt, but because they belong
to the chivalry and are members of the
Democratic association of Columbus, their
condition excites the sympathy of their po-
Htical friends, who uniformly fail to punish
murder which advances their hellish
schemes. ......
Let justice be done. If these men are
guilty hang them, if innocent let them 60
free. Lite must and should be protected, and
assassins shall be dealt with by law or by
their own weapons in the last resort This
murder is only one in thousands, but it
should be made an example and a prece-

- A REMARKABLE CASE.

A colored woman named Della Pearson,
formerly the property of Robert G. Pearson,
ESQ, living near Morganton, Burke County,
N. c., was strangely affected for about three
weeks and had the best medical attention
without receiving any benefit therctrom.--
The writer of this, Isaac Yount, colOrcd
man, was then called to see her, and found
her almost in dying condition. She was
suffering severe pains in her head, and In
fact. throughout her whole system. She
complained that she felt as if she had an in
tcrnal fire, and that she was being consumed.
Her skin seemed quite warm and feverish.
I then went to work on her and administer
ed certain curatives of my own preparation.
1 vomited her freely and she threw up some
thing ABOUT the length of a mans finger
which had a tail, head, mouth and eyes re-
sembling in every particular green scUr-
pion She then threw up something about
as broad as two fingers and of the length OF
il finger: it also had head, tail and neck,
but no appearance of eyes it had the like
ness and similitudc of an animal commonly
called ground puppy; three or four OF
these came from her. A large quantity, per-
haps. gallon or more of green stuff resemb-
ling moss or mother fvinegar. and a quantity
of something like fish eggs were also elected.
During the whole of the time she seemed to
be almost suffocated and could with the ut
most difficulty draw her breath. waited
on her for five days before I felt sure that
she could recover-at the end of that time
she began to improve and is now able to
walk mile or more, and will in a short
time be entirely restored to health. do not
pretend to say what was the matter with her,
though 1 have decided opinion that by
foul means she had been poisoned. The fact
can be proved by number of witnesses
that reptiles of the kind above described in
large numbers passed from her, and if it is
doubted the witnesses can and will be pro-
duced to sustain what l have written. My
object in making this matter public is to call
the attention of the medical profession to
this case. and to learn if there is any parallel
to it IN their experience.
. Yours respectfully,
ISAAC YOUNT.

Among the calculations of our best and
most intelligent citizens for the reveritication
of industrial arts, is the hope OF immigration
without designing to indicate any peculiar
policy, we have precedents before us, prac-
ticed by those States, that now secure the
largest share of immigration. They have a
regular system, which it would be well fol
US to adopt, and adopt to the circumstances
of our condition.
But we do not look for any large number
of new corners for some years yet. The way
is not clear. There are lingering doubts
upon the minds of aliens, who seek settled
governments and absolute security to life
and property, with the largest amount OF
freedom consistent with justice and the
safety of the government, thaG these may not
he found in North Carolina. Here at home,
we will have to fight the first battle and
begin the good work. When well under
weigh, with every advantage possessed by
other States achieved by our own exertions,
we may reasonably anticipate an annual in
crease of population from this source, until
our plains and hills are thickly settled.
Indeed there are but two decided advantages
possessed by North Carolina over the Wcs-
tern States but her climate and variety OF
productions. Other States are nearly, ii
not quite as rich in minerals, with the ex-
ception of gold. Therefore. without gloomy
forel,oGIngs, bat with cheerful recognition OF
undeniable facts, we bid our people prepare,
for the hour has come when the sails of the
vessel are swelling in breeze, and their long
voyage to the happy islands, will begin.
We shall outride the storm and reach the
harbor. But there are dangers which we
must shun Let US be up and doing.
