Press Recognition Of Herald
Enterprise.
It's Craftsmanship in the Lowery
Difficulty.

Our contemporaries, as Ia natural in o country
where freedom Is the rule, differ somewhat In
their mode OF recognizing the enterprise OF HER
AID They all feel impelled by profound sense OF
duty to do It, and it refreshes the edge Of our scs.
as we note the variety OF treatment which our
latest exploit receives from their quills One, speak
ing from the honest depths OF his moral selfcon-
sc0usness swells the pecan OF our glory; another,
looking through his party goggles screws his
gnarled pnysognomy into the size OF ganut and
writes diluted depreciation; third. feeling the
same necessity OF the others, put being of rolcking
turn OF mind, marks his appreciation visible j0cu.
larry. This Is all right; they mean well.

THE HERALD's SETTLEMENT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA
DIFFICULTIES.
Persons OF an lncreduous turn OF mind may be a.
sarcastic as they please, but there Is no question
that the American people were not only gratned
with the intelligence communicated yesterday or the
safety OF the adventurous correspondent lwh0 has
just settled the unfortunate difficulty which has
much disturbed the Old North StateA but shared IN
the glory attending this new enterprise OF American
journalism as represented by the NEW YORK
HERALD. Mr.. Bennett has always been extremely lor-
tunate in the selection OF his representatives. THIS
is no DOUBT the result or his abilty to appreciate
any extraordinary service. The gentleman who has
been abe to make the four or five outlaws who
have so long been the terror OF an entire State
understand the power OF the press and teach them
that mankind is not Us cruel and vlndictlve their
early education and later experience had given
them to Understand Is certainly worthy OF being
ranked as q diplomat. His letters in yesterdays
HERALD threw new light upon the subject. These
outlaws were one Of the bad results OF civil war.
1t appears that father and brother OF the leader
Of the band had been summariy shot and the
mother threatened with death because three
sons OF the family refused to aid the Con-
1ederate army. The latter then swore von-
geance, and gathering together q few others
who had similar grievances killed and plum
dered all whom they supposed were their
enemies. The death OF Henry Berry Lowery, the
leader and Boss Strong, his first Lieutenant, which
is reported by the HERALDs correspondent, and the
knowledge now possessed by the rest Of the band
that their grievances will now be puolished In the
papers," Will. no doubt, settle difficulty which it
has been beyond The power OF the State militia to
encompass

The NEW YORK HERALD is doing well with its
Lowery Gang sensation. The telegraph editor now
has the captured correspondent shot by the gang.
The reason for the shooting is supposed to be that
the correspondent put personal In the HERALD
asking for correspondence with Mrs. Lowery, whom
he saw getting horse car bound for High
Bridge week ago yesterday. The HERALD has
been hard put to it for sensation ever since its
African correspondent and Dr. Livingstone acci-
dentay faced eacn other taking their biters at tho
Aston House bar week before last.
