Carolina Railroad funds that he and the
"Rlng" stole from the State. The latest
rumor we have of the pursuer and the pur-
sued IS. that Littlefield has had Woodfin

A travelling correspondent informs the
Hlllsboro' Recorder that mfr. W. H. Bal
ley, of Salisbury, was arrested in that city
on the 18th, just as as he was about to
start for Spartanburg, S. c., to engage in
of Morganton. The meeting was to
have taken place on the 10Th. Maj: Avery
was to have gone across the county from
Morganton, and had not been arrested
when the correspondence was penned.-
The difficulty grew out of an alleged
wrong from Mr.. Bailey towards Maj.
Avery, in trial which took place in
Salisbury some months since, and the par

DoCKERY, THE DEMAGoGUE. The Robe
S0nidn is authority for the statement that
the Hon. o. II. Dockary, the defeated
Radical candidate for recollection to Con
gress from this District. has, since his de-
feat, not only gone back on his own often
declared views IN favor of general amnesty
but has stated that Col Waddell will not
be admitted, that there will be another
election and has wound up by announcing
himself, o. II. Dockery, as p candidate
under the new election.
1t is said that every dog will have his
day, and We doubt not that the gallant
Brig GENT has had his. He will never
again sit in the halls of the .. S. Congress,
unless again sent there at the point of the
Federal bayonet, but will hereafter be
known in the political history of the times
as Dead DOckerY and will be assigned a
niche in the temple Of infamy Just next
door to that of the Dead Duck.
To THE VOTERS OF LUMBERToN. Having
been recently elected to the Office Of May
or, l must beg leave, most respectfully, to
decline to serve in that position as my
business engagements would not admit Of
my devOting that attention to the duties OF
the Office it would require. | appreciate
the honor that was conferred upon me in
my election. ] must state, however, that
was very much surprised on reaching this
place to-day TO learn that the Wilmington
Post regarded my election as radical Uic
tory. [ have not seen the Post myself, but
learn that such sentiments are contained
therein. | have this to say, that / was run
and elected as an independent candidate,
that it is we'll known that I have never III
my life cast q vote except for Democrats,
or possibly for some of my favorite Wing
friends occasionally. Those who voted for
me could not possibly have been mistaken
since I have been in this county, openly
and aboveboard supported the conservative
ticket, including the State officers recently
elected-member Of Congress and county
officers.
To those of my conservative friends in
the town of Lumberton, who are heralding
me forth as full radical, l have only to
say, that my course has been as consistent
as theirs, especially when little money or
position was involved. am no aspirant
for offices; don't be SO fast, retain your
ammunition, you will require it in the
future.
I did not desire the office; was at Floral
College sick, and after considering the
matter, wrote to friend to withdraw my
name as candidate, SO as to avoid the
trouble of holding another election for the
Office. / regret very much that my name
had not been withdrawn.

Mr.. J. H. Tarpley, of Greensboro, has
exhibited to the Raleigh Sentinel three
very useful inventions, recently patented
by him. The first is an instrument for
fastening iron ties on cotton bales. another
is plow clevy, by which the plow may be
made to run deep, or shallow, by very
simple adjustment, and without the neces-
sity of changing the gear, at all, while the
third is a model for a hay and cotton
press.
KIRK ARRESTED Raleigh Sentinel
tells us that Kirk was arrested in Graham
on last Wednesday night, by Capt. Green,
Master Of Transportation on the N. @. r.
R., and Deputy Marshal pro. tcna., and
has been taken to Raleigh. The writ up
on which he was arrested was sued out by
Hon. Josiah Turner. Previously to this,
when Burgen was arrested, Kirk was al
lowed to go at large, on the promise made
by the Governor that he would deliver
him to Marshal Carrow before he left the
State. The Marshal, it seems, became
uneasy. and deputized Green to arrest him
as above.

itication of the participants at the glorious
