WE note that beside Huf own county,

three 1t should be said however re.
garding this county that the vote was
not full enough-less than half that pollcd
for the general ticket, and the majority
only 159-to AFFORD fair indication OF
the sentiments of the majority of the
voters on this question. Neither has
there been in our opinion anything in
the administration of our county affairs
by the triumviratc during the past two
years, which made the change an impcra
tive necessity. Undoubtedly many, il
not the majority voted for the increase
simply because the larger number repre-
scnts more nearly their idea Of what the

and praise, above all. those who con-
stituted the Grinnell Expedition.
Prompted 10y chivalrOus spirits and
christian hearts, they set out on their
own expenses; at their own bidding,
to alleviate the sufferings of their fell
low men. There were two of the
'Grinnell expeditions. The first was
commanded by DIR. Haven. That ex-
petition failed. DIR. Kane was not
content to give up the last with sim
gle effort. So regardless of the many
dangers his life was exposed to OH the
first expedition, which he accompa-
MED, he again on the 3Oth of May
1853, sailed from New York, in charge
of the second expedition. They uIg-
ed their way farther than any compa-
ny hitherto, or since has done. With
sufferings they endured are beyond
conception. Like Christ they suffer-
ed for the sufferer. Cta.s ...
History is replete with the names of
those whom the world are wont to
laud and heap their encomiums upon,
but none are worthy of more praise
than the noble men of the Grinnell
Expedition, who were willing to press
liI NIlllln llS AECllc circle 10 rescue
their suffering friends. There have
been martyrs for the cause of religion.
such was John Huss. The lurid light
of such examples light up the pages of
history. Science had its martyrs;
the suffering of Gallileo, and thous-
ands of others will bear witness to
this. There have been martyrs to am
bition; the crimsoned battlefield the
black and smoulderjng cities will con-
vince us of this, but the heroic suffer
ing of DR.. Kane and his followers,
have shown to the world, that there
can be martyrs forsuffering humanity.
Then let US learn from the history of
such men as these, that it is not he
who rides VIGOROUSLY over a thousand
battle-fields, and writes his name in
human gore, to whom honor is juitly
due, but to him who delights to allevi-
ate the suflerings of the poor and
needy, to him who is willing and
ready to sacrifice home and all that is
necessary to promote the welfare and
happiness of those around him.

Negro Killed.

On the night of the End instant, VIC
are informed, negro man by the
name of George Woodson was MUIR
dered at the ferry across New River on
the new road from Newbern to Snow
vile, about midway between the two
villages, under the following circum-
stances. Our informant states that
four white men, named Napoleon,
David and John French, from Bland
county, and James Dunford, of Pulaski,
called at the Ferry about midnight
and demanded to be taken
across the River. The old negro ferry
man complained of being sick and un-
able at that time of night to leave his
bed to comply with their request
Exasperated at the refusal, the party
commenced abusing the ferryman. A
son of the ferryman (George) hearing
the disturbance came out to enquire
into the matter, when an alteration
ensued between him and the party of
whites, which resulted in his death
One of the party, Dunford, was arres-
ted and OF account of the insecurity of
the jail at Newbern, was brought to
this place OH Thursday last, and put in
custody of the jailor of Wythe county.
The other three, N, ID. & J. French,
have so far eluded the officers of the
law, who we understand are after
them IHythCUiHe Enterprise.
