Henry Berry Louvre, No, Dead.


Henry Berry Lowrey,, as most people

gro outlaw OF Robson County: North
Carolina. For three years past, the .inlr-
ders, robberies, plunderings; and dark,
crimes of all kinds, of Lowrey and his
gang have been a subject of wonder and
or horror to the country at large. Com

brutality ofLowrey and his gang, tho

have been deedsof gentleness and mercy.
Lowrey is a. "loyaf man and plays
into the hands Of the Radical party. His
victims therefore have been the respecta-
BILE white people of North Carolina. 1t
has been reported lfor. O. week past that
this brutal negro outlaw. bad been killed
by his own. brother, ebnt unfortunately
the report turns ont to be untrue; and
.Lowrey still lives to murder and plum

Cotton Planting in Texas.

-
The Texas planters do not seem Is ap.
preciste the blessings of prosperity. They
have this year been reaping the benefits
of seeding portion of their lands with
grain instead of putting it IN cotton only,
a as in some former years, but the iremu
nerative prices yielded by their leading
staples are likely to lead them back into
their old styleof farming, namely 3" Ali
cotton and no corn" The Shreveport
Na.) Times, commenting upon this sub
ject, says: " We regret to learn from our
Texas exchanges that the planters Of that
State intend planting more largely in cot
ton than they did last year. And that is
one drawback to the country resulting
from the highpriceof cotton. sItprompts
large glaasi1s af sAsssiasas bed elf
