The Tarboro' Soutinner, in its last ISSUE
has another yirulent attack upon the STAN
pARp. and all who are connected with It,.
1t is but proper, to relieve the minds OF the
multitudinous readers of hatpaper, for US
I to state that the attack has not materially
affected the STANDARD or its editors. we
cannot even say that we were astonished at
its malignity, as we have long since ceased
to regard that papers as respectable journal.
The animus of these attacks IS derived from
the soreness caused the editor OF the South
erner by the STANDARDS article concerning
the protest of certain lawyers. In it several
lawyers were referred to in rather caustic
manner, and one of them happened to be
the father of the editor of the Sostherner.
The Southerner anwered in a very bitter arti-
Gle, to which the STANDARD replied, al
though treating tia of small account. Since
that time the Southernsr has made the in
teresting discovery that "tle STANDARD isas-
sailing the best men in the State" and now
wants to read it from among the newspapers
of North Carolina With very question
able modesty the Southerner also announces
that it !" declines to consider the STANDARD
as respectable or its writers as gentlemen"
In the first place the SrANDABD, which is the
leading journal of the State, cannot be very
seriously affected by the snarlings of little
obscure country sheet. Many papers of far
greater Importance ths1 bthe Southerner have
endeavored to injure the STANDARD and
have signally failed, as our large and rapid
! idly increasing circulation proves. The
STANDARD prospers while its enemies have
hard struggle to keep alive. This fact, In
decd, is the cause of much of the hatred
towards us. Sustained by the approval of
twenty thousand majority of the PEOPLE
of North Carolina, we can well afford to treat
with merited contempt the puny efforts to in
jure us oflittle obscure journals like the South
e,ner. That we have condescended to notice
the Southerner is not because it possesses any
ability or merit but simply upon the same
principle that a man throws stone at the
cur that yelps the loudest. AS to the editor
of the Southerner declining to consider
writers for the STANDARD as gentlemen, it
merelp excites in US mirth mingled with con-
tempt. 1t will be time enough for that per-
son to decline any acquaintance with the
editor of the STANDARD when he has the
honor of being addressed by him. We do
not intend to notice this subject or the
peurie insinuations of the editor Iof the
Southerner further They are I'M
worthy of our notice. Should he present
his views personally it would be different.
In the meantime we shall pursue the even
tenor of our way in very much the same
manner as if there were no such little paper
as the Southerner When we see anything
false in it we shall expose the falsehood to
the people-not because we attach any i'm
portance to the paper itself, but because we
do not wish to see the people deceived.
Further than this we do not care to have
anything to do with paper whose editors,
unable to prove themselves right by argu-
ment, resort to calumny and abuse.

head City has advantages over other sea
port towns she will command the trade;
not, it is nonsense to bend around our great
lines of Railroads in trying to do what can
not be done. If she has these advantages,
all the power of the Railroad men cannot
keep the trade from her, or prevent her
growth to a large city. There are some
things which seem to US impracticable in
this matter of consolidation. First, the road
has been completed long time and it gets
no trade Second, we are informed that
freights come from along the line OF the
Atlantic & N. c. Railroad to Goldsboro' and
from thence 10 Norfolk; and, third, that In
su-ance Companies charge one half per cent
more from Morehcad City than from NorNlk.
This being tie case, how will consolidation
or no consolidation benefit ita We hope
the whole subject will be carefully examined
at the meeting on the Cd day of June. We
are for whatever benefits the State. If con-
solicitation will benefit the State, we are for
it-not otherwise

A commission appointed by the Governor
of Alabama has fully Investigated the recent
lawless events at Tuscaloosa. Some three
or four weeks since. two white men, who
were under the influence of liquor, were
riding through the streets of that city, when
they overlook a colored boy, and thought it
would be a fine operation for them to carry
him off. The father of the lad, and a col
ored friend pursued and overlook them.
An exciting conversation followed, but no
acts of violence were committed on either
side. The white men, however, vowed ven
geance. They belonged to gang OF des-
peradoes, about fifty in number, who live in
Sipsey Swamp The next day they rallied
number of their gang, and proceeded to
the house of the father of the colored boy
referred to. Preparations had been made to
receive them, however. The negroes de-
Tended themselves vigorously, and killed
one of their assailants. Thus ended the
day. The Sipseyites, thenceforward, were
determined to avenge the Dlood OF their
comrade and the freedmen, becoming panic
stricken, dispersed in every direction. In
the succeeding two days, two negroes were
murdered, and one Sipseyite was wounded
through the carelessness of one of his own
party, and amputation was followed by
death. One freedman was regularly ares
ted, on warrant, and to save him from the
fury of the mob. But such was not the re-
suit. The night after the Sipseyites learned
of his arrest, they took him from the jail
and murdered him in cold blood. The Sip
sey gang has long been terror, and the
public of all shades of politics condemn
them. Vigorous measures are now being
taken against them.

A Trinidad letter of April 21st states that
General Cavada ordered part of his troops
to approach Trinidad, without, however,
attempting to take possession of the place.
Citizen Villamil, with sixteen hundred men
and eight mules, which appeared to be
loaded, marched in sight of Trinidad. He
was attacked at eleven o'clock A. NJ by the
Spanish troops, which came out from Trim
idad for that purpose, but were routed
The Spaniards fed, leaving twenty dead,
thirty wounded and twenty five Remington
rifles behind. The patriots lost twenty -four
men in killed and wounded, and one Adju-
tant among the number On the same day
and near Trinidad, arms in great quantity
were landed, to the cries of "Long live
Cuba, free" and Long live General Ces-
pedes." On the 18th General Francisco
Axuilera (patrioD attacked Spanish con-
voy four leagues from Las Tunas, and cap
tured it. The retreating Spaniards were
attacked by Aquilera, and before they ar
rived in the city they lost one-tenth Of their
entire force; but they rallied in Las Tunas,
and leaving two hundred men to guard the
city, rallied forth in quest of the patriot
forces. These, more astute than their oppo-
nents, disappeared, and attacked the city
by the opposite side from which the Spanish
troops had left, and after a vigorous de-
fence, forced the garrison to surrender,
taking one hundred and fifty prisoners
The patriots had twenty killed in this en-
gagement. On the 18th the Spanish troops
that had gone out TO meet them presented
themselves before the city, but were soon
put TO flight by the artillery of the Cubans

sidering the fact that JEFF. Davis at one
time ran an extremely good chance of
being hung, the statement is ridiculous in
the extreme.

On tue shores of both the Atlantic and Pa
cific Ocean the tide OF immigration is increas-
ing every year. And the prospect now is that
Asia will send to us ere long quite as many
immigrants as Europe. II any man had
prophesied twenty years ago that the Chinese
would have come to this continent in such
large numbers as they have for a few years
past he would have been considered either a
maniac or fool. A few years ago there were
but two Chinese persons in this country, and
they were great euriosities; but now they are
counted by tens of thousands. In view of the
immense number of people who come to this
country it is great relief 10 know that our
territorial limits are only bound by two oceans.
As yet We have ample room and verge enough.
During the month of last May there arrived
at New York from Europe over fifty thousand;
in the preceding month Of April there were
over twenty-seyen thousand, and for the Eve
months from January 1st to May 31st the num-
Der was upwards of one hundred and two
thousand. But the arrivals for the first week
of the present month are still more astsnish-
ing In that week there arrived ten thousand
nine hundred and seventy eight About elev-
en- thousand in a single weekl The largest
number of these immigrants sailed from Liver
pool, whittier the Germans are brought in
large numbers to take passage ior this country.
But during the sans period there arrived from
the two ports Of Bremen and Hamburg over
thirty7two thousand. The others are from
Glasgow, London, Copenhagen and Antwerp
This is largo increase over last year. Our
country is fast becoming the grand asylu n of
the whole world. What we shall be doth not
yet fully appear; but that we are destined to
be the great leading nation of the world there
can be no doubt. ff st.l..f -
