From the Wilmington Journal.l

Henry Berry Lowrey and his gang of out
laws entered the Town of Lum6ertou some
time during Friday night and committed the
boldest and one Of the most successful roooe-
rjes ever known In this State.
The gang, 1t seems, first broke lno MT. New
berry's carriage mandatory, Wnere tney sup
nl,ed themselves with such tools as they need
ed. They then visited the stables of Mr. A. W.
Fuller. where they secured horse and dray.
and thus prepared, proceeded to The store OIL
Mr.. A. n. Mcleod, from whence heavy IRON
saie was taken and placed on The dray. They
next visited the sheriff's office In the court
house, from whence his iron sale was also
taken and placed with the other. They lhen
started from the town with their plunder,
bnt as the sheriff's safe was found yesterday
mnrninr living in the street. about one hum
ared and fifty yards from his Office, 1t Is sup
nosed that IL dropped off and was abandoned.
Early Saturday morning, as soon as the
ioss was discovered, the sheriff being
absent his deputy, Mr.. Alex. Mcmillan, SUM
moned posse Of men and started IN pursuit.
AT a point about three miles from the town
they came up with the gang, but being TOO

effected their relrear, carrying OIL with them
the money, but leaving the sale and portion
of the papers behind. These, with the horse
and draw. were taken back to the town, when
it was discovered that the safe had been forced
open with sledge-hammers and cold chises,
with which the gang had provided them
selves at Mr.. NeWberry's establishment.
The loss Is very heavy, and consists Of
s22, 900 in money, taken from Dir. McLeod's
safr, a lot Of goods and number Of valuable
private papers from the sherifs office, whlcn
were destroyed. Nearly all of the money
stolen were OF deposits, which, as there is no
bank in Lumberton, had been placed In Lhe
safe By different parties for safekeepng. Be
sides, some $1,000 worth of merchandise was
taken from the store none of which was re-
covered. The town has been In a tremendous
slate OF excitement, which had aoated ouI
very little when our informant wrote us.

LEASING THE SOUTH CAROLINA
RAILROAD.
From the Abb .vllle Presa.l

Thu public mind of Charleston is very much
agitated over proposition on the part OF the
Central Georgia Road to take charge and con-
troll Of the South Carolina Road. The journals
of the city have been thoroughly discussing
the matter, and show very conclusively, we
think, that such step would result In ruin as
well TO the road as to the city. Its very de
sign !s to destroy the South Carolina Road, BY
obtaining control of Its affairs, and divert
trade from Charleston; thus building up Sa-
vannah and Georgia interest. The inducement
held forth Is q dividend Of four per cent. to the
stockholders for limited time; but as the
Charleston papers show it might well afford
to pay much higher price to accomplish itS
