The copperhead Democracy. after hayin

The copperhead Democracy, after having
used Andy Johson while he had any thing to
give, became ashamed OF and repudiated him
as soon as his power ceased. They now
seek to prove him Republican, and to shift
from their shoulders the corruptions and
rascalities of his administration. But he de-
prives them of all chance Of escape, for he
said in Il speech at Nashville a few days ago:
~ am a Democrat, and always have been a
Democrat" Of course he knows, and it is
his interest now to tell the truth. n'sAs -

it necessary that an election be held to fill
the unexpired term of Jno. T. Deweese in

out and vote. Call meetings during next

NEWS FROM RoBEsoN.-The Whining
ton Star of the Goth inst, says: Our latest
intelligence from Robson confirms the
death of Geo. Applewhite, one of the des-
ed, though with some doubt as to its correct
ness, in the Star. Applewhite was one OF
the most desperate of the gang, and at the
time of his escape from our county Jail was
under the sentence of death for completely
in the murder of the late Sheriff King, of
Robson.
We learn that the gang of desperadoes
appeared at the place where Applewhite's
body was. found, on last Monday morning,
and fired off about one hundred guns, as if
in defiance, and to show that though one of
their number had been slain there was still
aplenty left to continue the outrages upon
the defenceless people and to avenge his
death.
Applewhite ,las killed in the first en-
counter between the outlaws and the pur-
suers on the occasion of the latter being am
pushed and fired upon, and to the brave
and chivalrous Davis, who afterwards died
from wounds received during the conflict,
belongs the honor, we learn, of having sent
the cut Throat to his reward. With Apple:
white dead and Shoemaker John, another of
the outlaws in the county Jail at Fayette-
vile, where we are informed he was incar-
cerated on last Saturday, the county has
been relieved of two of the gang. With
promptness and efficiency on the part of the
authorities of Robson, we may expect to
hear of still further captures.
Since writing the above, we learn that Mr..
IS. McDiarmid, editor of the Lumberton
RO5esonian, has been arrested by Magistrate
James Sinclair on the charge of contempt of
his Court, the foundation of the charge, we
learn, being certain structures which ap-
peared in his paper few days since in re-
gard to his (Sinclair's) official conduct. The
of the case, we are informed,
was to have taken place yesterday afternoon.
