Exploits of q North Carolina
Outlaw.

We copy this from the Wilmington
lDelaware) Star, Sept. Z.
We learn from one who has lately
been visiting different portions of
RObeson county, that Henry Berry
Lowrey has recently been playing
some practical jokes upon the soldiers
and militia who are in the field against
him and his gang. 1t is said that the
United States troops have their camp
near what is known as Pleasant Pros
pect Church, and that about Il mile
from there resides an old woman who
sells " tangle leg" whisky, who has
been receiving frequent visitations
from the "boys in blue.n Report has
it that on Wednesday last six of the
soldiers We're proceeding to execute
one OF their strategic movements ,
alluded to, walking leisurely along
the path, without arms, when man
suddenly sprang from the bushes,
armed to the teeth, and confronted
them, startling them with the infor-
nation that he was the redoubtable
Henry Berry Lowrey. He told them
they were fools if they came to Robe
son county with the expectation of
killing or capturing him, for it would
never be done. He had lately received
message from the Lord that he had
twelve years to live yet, and further
informed the astonished "men of
Mars" that he had singled out some
OF their comrades upon whom he in
tended to wreak his vengeance. Be
ing unarmed, the soldiers seized the
first opportunity to make backward
movement i'm the direction of their
camp, willing to forego the luxury of
indulging in their favorite beverage
rather than provoke the wrath of the
daring outlaw.
A few days after the above occur
renee, our informant states that IN
officer of the militia received mes
sage from Itowrey, stating that he had
visited their camp the night before,
and inspected their arms, to see if they
were IN proper condition. AS a proof
of this assertion, he stated that he had
left his " "card," which would be found
attached to one of their guns. Upon
examining their weapons, the name of
Henry Berry Lowrey was found in
scribed upon the breach of one ofthem,
very much to the astonishment of ye
gallant "melish."

Saturday morning, the train from
the West, over the Detri0t and Mil
waukee railroad, brought into Detroit
what appeared to be lady and gem
tleman, both well dressed, stylish, and
seemingly man and wife. They
walked about arm in arm during the
forty minutes before the Lake Shore
train started, and they went on board
that train without more than three
persons being wiser for their brief
visit. But for one little fact, the pair
would have resumed their journey
without suspicion that the finely
dressed lady was young man, and
Newbergen, Pa, burglar, who had
been playing waiter girl, at Grand
Rapids, Mich, and that the seeming
husband was o Pennsylvania detect
i've. The wind blowing through the
depot, caught and lifted up a shawl
thrown earelessly over the locked
arms of the pair, and the depot police
man caught sight of two arms linked
together with a pair of hand cuffs.

Postmaster Lowell, of New Orleans,
was lfcently interviewed in New
York City by a reporter from the
Herald Ioffice, and his statements were
as far from the truth as his official
record lis inconsistent with his public
speeches. Mr.. Lowell said that one
of the charges the Custom house ring
urge against Governor Warmoth is,
that he has appointed Il large number
of Democrats TO office. If the Demo
cracy Tere to succeed in gaining con-
troll ot5 this State, Mr.. Lowell would
stand u good chance of mgratiating
himself into their favor by showing
that he was very careful to avoid
appointing "niggers " to good posi-
tions in the Postoffiee. On IA speakers
stand Colonel Lowell is one of the
most uncompronising Republicans in
the eoslntry, but in the Postoffice he
is only so-sO. His private life will not
bear inspection, either in white or
cOlored, Republican or Democratic
sense of view.
