We are glad to announce to our people,
that Mr.. J. E. Greenway is making exten-
sive preparations to inaugurate Tobacco
Mandatory in our town. This is another
important enterprise, and we wish it the
completest success. A house like this,
firmly established and ably managed, can
build up an extensive trade in this section,
furnish country stores and general buyers
their supplies on much better terms than
they can be bought elsewhere, besides
keeping the money in this section that is
sent abroad.-Washingto hatelhgencer.

NEGRO MARAUDERs AT CHAPEL Hull
On Friday night five negroes who were
thought to be deserters from detail to
New Orleans, had a high old time at Chapel
Hill. About 2 o'clock at night they had
nearly forced an entrance into the parlor
Of Mr. Carr, but that gentleman rousing
mp they ran away. They then went to the
confectionery of Elmore Woods and had
forced the bars from the window and were
about to enter, when Tony Jenkins, a
faithful negro, gave the alarm and the
rogues were scotched in that attempt. t.
They next went to Judge Battles. and
prowled through his deserted house and
office. Next to Prof. Patrick's, but here,
too, negro scared them off, They then
went into room adjoining Prof. Martin
but tnaG gentleman awakening from the
light of match, gave the party chase in
dishabille. The party stopped and fired a
shot ct the Professor, but without effect.
They then vamoosed the place and struck
Mordecai Sears house, on the Raleigh
road. Mr. Sears was from home, and the
Misunderstanding well armed-drove the
person in charge off, and themselves took
possession of the house. They plundered
to suit themselves, and, we learn, carried
of large amount of bacon with them
Two of this party were negro guards that
had been stationed at the University ;
