REMOVED Wilkie, the man who lost
his mule-or said he did-has been re-
moved from the position of Jones county
detective. Even Governor Holden could
no longer gulp down the slanderous reports
Wilkie was constantly making him con-
corning the people of Jones, notWithstand-
ing the fact that the ''Guv's" capacity
that way is somewhat marvellous.
The removal was made over week ago,
and the people of Jones are in eXtacles
thereat. .-Newbern ,Jo"r. Of Com.

THosE HoRsE THIEvEs.--It will probably
surprise parties in Newbern to lern that in
the last two weeks three horse thieves have
been captured in Jones county but their
astonishment will be increased to know
ecery one Of them 2Ce1'e negroes, caught with
the animals in their possession. We get
this information from All undoubted
source.
The owners of the animals have actually
had the hardihood to claim their property
and take it from the thieves. We suppose
Gov. Holden will take immediate steps to
avenge this "rebel outrage by largely
increasing the number of Boziers squad.

OLD MAJOR DOWNING has at last aroused
from his heavy slumbers. We saw, yester,
day afternoon, this somnam bulistic gen
tleman perambulating our streets, to oil
appearance wide awake. We supposed
the expose of the Penitentiary Committee's
combinations, last session of the Legisla-
ture, sits heavy on the old gentleman e
stomach, and prevents, to great extent.
that former propensity to initiate Joe, the
fat boy.-Raleigh Sentinel.
Bob Revels, a negro, formerly from this
this place, and q most worthless vagabond
and thief, is now, we understand, mem
Der of the Louisiana Legislature. While
we sympathise with poor down-trodder
Louisiana, cursed with such characters in
her Legislature, We rejoice that We have
one less rogue in our midst Bob has writ
ten some letters to his friends here, in
which he says he is building him a fine
house On the Mississippi. The awritel
would like to make a requisition on the
Hon. member (?) for lot OF very fine ba-
con, which left his store one night very
late, just after the aforesaid Bob had en-
tered at the back door.
