GEN. GRANT.-Thc commander Of the t. S. Armies
is not man of much ability, but his name is kept
before the people and in that way he has been made
grc"t man paper. We Judge that Gen Grant is
not much liked by the extreme Radicals for they
give him lick whenever good opportunity offers.
The New York Tribune Of last week, in speaking
Of the removal of military commanders by the Presi
dent, said:
political chess. The President removes every man
who tavors reconstruction under any other plan than
his The game goes on-tlelresident winning
all the time. Nor do we fail to that the power
which strengthens him is General Grant There is
no of concealing avoiding this fact. General
Grant is an instrument of Mr. Johnson's will.

ANEcDoTE OF AN AcToR.-Simpson, the
actor, would never take any medicine, and his
medical man WAS often obliged to resort to some
strate"em to impose dose upon him. There is
play in which the hero is sentenced, in prison,
to drink cup If poison Harry Simpson was
playing this character one night, and had given
directions to have the cup filled with port wine,
but what was his horror, when he came to drink
it. to find it contained dose of SIENNA. He could
not throw it away. as he had to hold the goblet
upside down, to show his prosecutors he had
drained every drop of it. Simpson drank the
medicine with the slowness ola poisoned martyr,
but he never forgave his medical man as was
proved Oh his death, for he died without paying
his BILL

ARREST OF MURDERERs AND RoBBERs.-
We learn from Ia private letter received here
that Il great haul Of murderers and robbers has
been made in the counties of Pitt and Lenoir.
The writer states that fifteen or twenty of the
desperadoes are now in the jails Of those two
counties, with ample evidence to convict them.
Several have confessed the whole matter and
made full expose of their operations. twas a
single organization, operating in Lenor and Pitt,
and having no connection with the Jones county
banditti.
The gang first named robbed two OF three fami-
lies in Lenoir and then changed their base of
operations to Pitt, where they robbed and killed
a white man named Briley, about ten days ago.
Nearly all of the party are colored men, but it is
almost certain they were organized and controlled
by two white men, who are also in custody

Immigration.

| IMPORTANT MovEMENT.-A call is published in
the Richmond papers, signed by the leading profes-
siOnal and business of that city, for public
meeting to adopt measures to encourage lmm grafton
from abroad. Dr. Oliver, gentleman from Scotland,
now in Virginia for the purpose of ascertaining the
inducements emigration from his country will be
present to give and receive information. We trust
| this meeting will result in something practical.
Without migration, labor and capital, this South
ern country never recover from its prOstratOn,
and that particular section which first acts upon this
fact will first realize the benefits to be derived. We
| hope long that own immediate people will
wake up to the vital Importance of this question and
take steps to inaugurate movement that alone can
bring us renewed and certain prosperity UUnting-

of North Carolina and solicit aid in encouragement

could not make an appropriation for the purpose of

they spent thousands of dollars to keep up such

We see immigrants coming here and buy

white farmers that would make the country blossom

We would suggest that landholdcrs meet together
and establish Il scale of prices for land, and let the

and 100 acres and offer them for sale on fair terms,
