Who IS He ?-On Friday night last
bold and daring attempt at robbery
or murder was made in a lonely and
secluded ravine about one-half mile
east of the brick tavern, in this town.
Mr.. VIM. Horr, one of the proprietors
of the grist mill, known as mud mill,
was returning home late in the eve
ming, when he was attacked by some
person to him unknown, who sudden
ly sprang upon him from place of
concealment, in the place above mem
toned, and stabbed him in the breast
with knife, by a quick and rapid
blow, but without infiicting a serious
wound. Mr.. Horr, being very ath-
letic young man, and good geologist,
closed suddenly with him, threw him
to the ground, and reaching out, pick
ed up a fragment of rock, and was
proceeding to mark him for future
Identification, by feeling his phreno-
logical developments with the afore-
said geological specimen, when, after
a gentle tap or two, the fellow slipped
from his grasp, and amid the darkness
of the night, effected his escape
Whether the object was robbery or
murder, is but mere conjecture, but it
is certain that the rascal made mis-
take in his man, and woke up the
wrong passenger; a proceeding, if re-
peated, may be attended with far diff
ferent results next time. .4sgei
The Summer terms of the district
schools in the township have all clos

results. A lack of . scholars, rather
than of good teachers, is want that
is source of much complaint among
the school officers, but when the large
number of old bachelors and old maids
resident in town is taken into the ac-
count, the explanation becomes very
easy. "A positive Divine command is
neglected or forgotten, but what We
are to do about it, is a conundrum
that is not SO easily guessed. : o .it.

Pensioners of the war Of 1s,a.

The Commissioner of Pensions es-
Inmates that there are at least 10000
people, soldiers and widows of the
war of 1872, who will be entitled to
pensions under the act of February
Ia, 1871. This number will require
the sum of $4,000, 900 annually. When
the bill was under discussion, last
winter, the maximum number of the
pensioners living was supposed to be
only 5000, but the estimate of the
Commissioner is most likely to be
correct. This will require an appro-
-priation for pensions next year of full
ly $35,000,0O0. The total number of
applications for 1872 pensions to date
is 30,540. n 3o ti8I

nearly eight times as much as had
been expended in the seventy two
years previous, during which time the
democrats had carried the country
successfully through two great wars

Democratic County Convention

Democratic County Convention.
In another place in this paper will
be found the call Of the Central Conn
mittee fora Convention of the De-
mocracy, to nominate candidates for
county officers, to be supported by the
members of the party at the coming
election. We hope to see the several
townships of the county fully repre-
sented I'M the Convention, and q tick
ct tworthy. the support of every citi-
zen, of the county put in nomination.
Though there may be little or no hope
OF eleeting our ticket, let us not tail
to discharge our whole duty, and show
by our, works that we have faith in
and cherish the principles we profess.
I'VE would here recommend to the
Democrats of the several townships
the selection at their caucuses of an
active, energetic, working Democrat
in each, as aSnaember of the County
Central Committee, one who will at
tend the meetings of the Committee,
and; take an active interest in getting
dpla complete organization of the par
fy IN his township and throughout the
county, so that we may present an un-
broken front to the enemy and secure
every Democratic vote at the polls on
election day aaT The practice long prev
aient of selecting these Committee
men in the hurry of business on the
day,of the Convention has generally
resulted in the choice ofsmany per
sons who have neglected the duties
incident to the position, and who, IN
stead of aiding the committee have
embarrassed it in 1.-the dischargeof its
functions. A reform in this respecl
is needed, and we hope our friends
throughout the county will bear tbs
subject in mind, and at their pri-
mory meetings select and send up the
names of their most active and best
working men for the position.

two factions in the party each of

Governor Yarmouth and the other by
Lieutenant Governor Dunn. The Ad-

with the latter, and, under the order

furnished Federal troops from the

Texas, who were stationed in the, Gus

The North Carolina election has
resulted in the defeat of the proposed
Convention to form new State Con-
stitution. This defeat is accounted
for by the threats of Akerman-
Grants Attorney General-that if an
attempt was made to put a new Con-
stitution in operation, the Federal adj
ministration would maintain the old
one, and the State government nnder
it. This is in accordance with the
Republican policy, as manifested in
Congress, of SO managing and con-
trolling the internal affairs of States
as to make them subservient to the
maintenance of the Republican par
ty in power. But their power may
