JOHN PooL.-The disclosures made some
days ago. showing up the malice and bad
spirit of this man, towards the people Of
his native State, were not based upon
simple hearsay. They were made upon
the testimony OF persons who alleged they
were present and heard him mako the
| horrid proposition. The facts there stated
havo not been denied by any one who has
! any knowledge of them. Il is paipable
that the Standard has denied them, and
the pnbIo aro left TO the infere nee that
they arc trne to the letter. If true, what

"CAUGHT THE WRoNG CHICKEN. On
Thursday last, We learn from the Green's

| conversation with Kirk, who was on board.
| After waiting as long as possible. Capt.

MORE DEvILTRY.-A correspondent from
Yanceyville says, "Kirk's Major arrested
| three moro men yesterday Sunday John
| G. Lea, Nat. Lea and Capt. T. N. Jor-
dan, the last named for refusing 10 lend
| the Major horse"
That is q protty piece of business, to ar
rest q man because he didn't choose to
lend him his horse yet it is no worse than
thousand other acts of lawlessness and
| indignity that have been precticed on our
| citizens by Holden's band of brigands,
| since they have been in the State.
The law gives redress for such outrages,
! and that redress will be sought. The peo-
pie have been hGraesed and oppressed
long enough; they have borne rs no other
people have borne the indignities heaped
upon them, for the sake of peace, but there
is q point beyond which, "forboarance
| ceases to be virtue" and that point has
beon reached. Our people will demand
end will have the protection TO life, iber-
| ty and property. which the constitution
and laws give them.-Raloigh Sentinel.
