The DEAD DEspEEADo- Several per-
sons have been led to suspect that Henry
Daniels, the negro who was killed mt the
Augusta Jail, last Saturday night, was II
member Of the celebrated Lowcry gang
of brigands who caused so much excite
ment about Lumberton, n. G., several
years ago. There is much to confirm
such suspicion. BY reference to the
history of the outlaws, we find that one
OF the gang, George Applewhite, answers
exactly to the description Of Daniels.
The report before us says: "George An
plewhite is regular negro of surly,
determined look, with thick features,
woolly hair. large protuberanccs above
the eyebrows, big jaws and check bones,
and black eye. He is a picture of a
slave ut bay. He is supposed to be either
dead, hidden away, wounded, or to have
abandoned the country, ns he has not
been seen or heard of for several months.
When last heard from, he was faint from
loss of blood, and had received wounds
in the breast from some soldiery. He
married into the Oxendine family, and
was present at the murder of Sheriff
King and elsewhere, and is, therefore.
included in the list of outlaws, and n re-
ward put upon his head" After Daniels
death, a number Of old scars were disco
mark Of bullet wound on his forehead.
evidently received several years ago
Daniels wife said that she married Henry
in Guilford County, n. c., about four
years ago. She had only known him IL
short time. He told her before they
were married, that he came from the tur-
pcntine region. The wound on his fore
head, he said, he received during the
war, and the sears on his arms and body
in slavery times. She didn't know whe-
ther he ever had another name or not.

C"'.vHi3:A FEMALE COLLEGE. cx-
crcisca of tiic commencement occasion of
this prosperous institution of learning
were held yesterday morning. The
chapel WAS filled with the relatives of the
! young ladies and friends Of the institu

chapel of the College is so small, and i.
Is hoped that ere long it will be enlarged
The chapel was decorated by the young
lalias-of course, it is unnecessary to
say it WAS neatly done
AT the hour appointed, 10 A. NJ, the
exercises were opened with prayer by

Il i, some consolation to know that
the patents on the main features Of the
sewing machine, which under original
papers and renewals have extended the
monopoly Of It's manufacture and sale
far beyond the time necessary for an ac-
tual requirement Of a righteous compen.
sation for the capital and labor expended
either in It's invention or perfection, are
fast expiring, and will soon leave the
manufacture open to competition. The
sewing machine mOnOpolies have grown
rich beyond all other manufactures Of
patented articles, and with that greed
which follows gain have sought by every
means to perpetuate the slavery Of the
people to their Unsuitable lust for gold.
II Is some satisfaction to realize that
Congress, the members Of which were not
over scrupulOrs as to how they put
money into their own pockets, could
neither be cOaxed nor lured by any mate
rial prospects to perpetuate an iniquity
upon the people such rs the further ex-
tension Of the sewing machine monopoly
wOnld have been.
We notice that the New York Herald,
like ourselves, Is evidently not an adj
mirer Of the great sewing machine cor
porations, nor Of their manner Of doing
business, and as the days OF the years Of
their monopoly draw to close, the gen.
eral public feels that
"The sewing machine ring Is not an Or

$40, indeed, tho Howe Company Is now
offering machines to the Patrons oil Hus-
bandry for $2S which to other customers
are priced at $40. There Is very little
doubt that, anticipating within few
years the expiration Of their patents and
the abolition Of their monopoly, the sew

machines while the sewing women starve,
