OLINA.
Special dispatches show that out
RACES in North Carolina still continue.
Gangs of outlaws and robbers keep
the citizens continually in a state of
terror. On Saturday a man named
Taylor was shot and killed by a squad
of these outlaws, while a company of

arming the citizens generally and
hunting down the assassins.

South CafaliBs Negroes Want a Row.
CHARLESTON, January 17.-Govern-
or Scott yesterday sent a message to
the Legislature In reply to the con-
current resolution asking why mili-
tary force for the protection Of lie,
liberty and property has not been sent

that the laws are not executed; but
if they were not he has no military
competent to enforce them and no
means TO maintain it. The law of the

minatiOn that it shall be, a sufficient
protection to person and property,
