old-L A,correspondent of the New
York Herald, writing from Shoe Heel
N. c., gives the following lengthy aa- az
count of the doings of these loyal Ku
Klux:
The bandit of North CAROLINA,
Henry Berry; Lowrey, standing in,
perfect disdain Of the authorities Of
the State, as well as of the Federal
troops, it was deemed necessary to-
send o Herald correspondent to study
the situation. L. left Washington
City Thursday night, and reported
myself next day at noon in the office
of Gov. Walker, of Virginia. The
handsomest man in the South was
seated ut q table, signing bills, in the
old Confederate Supreme Court room.
His beautiful grayish black NOUS
tache, healthy gray hair, clear skin
and smiling expression; every inch a
lord ieutenantainl the Oldest of our
shires, grew soberer as he said:
"Lowrey? Why, captain of the
Virginia militia applied to me yes
terday, to obtain permission for him
self and his men to hunt that fellow
in the swamps Of North Carolina.
Lowrey must be good deal of q
character" ",si,. ..,a, ~.
AS I looked over the files of the
Richmond newspapers, and their in
innate exchanges Of the tobacco, rioe
and tar region, found the Question
of the day to be-Lowrey. He was
at once the Nat. Turner, the Osceola
and Rob Roy Mac-Gregor of the
South. With mingled ardor and
anxiety, desire and trepidation, I
pushed on by the Weldon road to
Wilmington, the largest town Of the
State, where Lowrey had once been
confined in prison. There was there
but single question-Lowrey. The
Wilmington papers called the Robe
son County people towards, for not
cleaning him out. The Robson
County paper hurled back the insinu-
ations, but hurled nothing else ut
Lowrey. The State government got
its share of the blame, and the State
Adjutant-General replied in card,
that the militia and volunteers had
no pluck on the occasion when he
had tried them. Five men had
mastered a commonwealth.
AM instance OF the deep sense of
apprehension created by these ban
dts i'll all South. eastern Carolina, is
afforded by a dream which Col. w.
81. Barnard, editor of the Whining
ton Star, related to me. His paper is
eighty miles from the scene of out
lawry:
''I dreamed the other night" said
he. chat I was riding up the Ruther-
ford Railroad, and came to Moss
Mock Station, where the outlaws fre-
quently appear. I thought yellow
