The New County.

MEsSRs. EDITORS 1t seems that
the trial Of the strength in the Legis-
lature of the new county, proposed to
be changed in name from Lillington
to Pender, is about to be made. Pub
lie interest is on tiptoe as to this pro
position to divide New Hanover. and
the course of the Journal, which is not
paF:er OF uncertain sounds, is expected
to be as out<poken this year as it was
the last on this interesting question.
Last Year you gave it cordial sup
port. 1t is expected to make Demo
cratic Conservative county by this
movement aud the officials returns of
the last August election show that the
Republicans in the new territory are
only about twenty odd in majority.
The new county, too, has the required
population, aud in wealth, resources,
&c, it will be the equal of at least
forty of the old established counties of
the State. Its territory embraces on4
OF the finest portions of the State, rich
lands, navigable streams, abundance
OF mari, rail road through the cen
tre, &c, &c. An extra, in the form
of a supplement to the Journal, will
be out in day or two, it is said, on
the whole subject and showing it's
merits, politics, advantages, resour-
ces, &c. PROGRESS.

For the journal
The New County Pender.

HcsSrs. Editors The official re-
turns, es our county records show, OF
the last August election as bearing
upon the eight townships composing
our new county of Pender, show about
two thousand (s,00O) voters in round
numbers Of all parties. OF these the
Republican ajority, as shown by the
sume returns, Is a little over twenty
votes. If this can't be easily and hon
estly overcome by the long suffering
and down. trodden Democracy of Pen
/ der, then the Democratic Conservative g
| spartaus OF that territory are over
| rated. But there are more voters in
! Pender than this if the signatures
| of Radicals which have gone up
TO the Legislature, in opposi-
tion to Pender, and every one
| Of these Signers processing to lire
IN the 1'etc county territory, are genu-
| inc. It IS verified under oath of re-
| sponsible parties that about one thou
| sand names of true men-nearly every
one COnservatives-hav gone up as
petitioners for this new county. They
| are voters and make up almost wholly
| our taxpayers and substantial citizens.
! So only about one thousand can pos
! sibly petition against the new county.
| unless bogus petitions have gone up
| and the names of women and children
| within as well as without the new
| county limits. For, be it remembered,
| that Judge Cantwell offered eighteen
hundred petitioners against the new
| county in the Senate on Tuesday and
| with such arrogance and flourish of
! trumpets as to induce the belief that
! all Of them are residents of Pender.
i But when he was driven to the wall un-
| der the pressue of the well founded
suspicion that about a thousand of his
pames were either manufactured in
/ the new county. or obtained from Sec
/ tiOns outside of it's limits, probably in
/ the main from the corrupt Radicalism
! OF Wilmington, he had to take water
and confess the significant fact that
he did not know where these opposing
/ signers reside. This was conclusive,
! as Senator Parrish said, that the Coun-
! ty Bill should pass without submit
! ting the question to the ballot box
/ here, as the same bogus names and
I corrupt outsiders, would then come to
! the polls and slaughter the new
| county. Judge Cantwell makes out
! about three thousand voters in the
new county whereas there are only
/ two thousand. Democrats of the
House heed these facts and corrupt
ions OF the Radical party of New Han

Destruction of the New. County.

The Radicals are preparing to hold
an indignant mass meeting in Peuder
county, because of its passage in the
Senate. 1t is said they Will invite such
Democratic Senators as voted against
the Bill to join Judge Cantwell and
others in addressing these mass meet
ings. To-day as the freight train pas
sed Rocky Point, one of these Radical
meetings was cOnvening to protest
against the action of the Senate and to
try to take Rocky Point township out
of the new county. If any Democrat
ic member of the Housa besitates to
support this new County Bill let him
know before he votes that the negroes
of New Hanover are almost en- nlasse
IN opposition, head d by every carpet

The Tobacco Prospect.

The EUanSUiUe Courier makes this
statement upon the strength of per-
sopal investigation by its reporters
The tobacco crop in Southwestern
Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, will
be something more than an average,
provided there is a good season.
The counties of Webster and Union,
in Kentucky, have suffered very ma
terial loss in plants by the recent
frosts, but will have plenty left to
make a large stand. Henderson.
Christian, Daviess, and Mclean, in
the same State, although in some
neighborhoods the plants have been
frozen out, will probably raise some
thing over an average crop. Plant
ers, stimulated by the high prices
which have been paid during the
year just past, have made unusual
preparations, and the total acreage
made ready for planting will far ex-
ceed that of any other year within
the memory Of the oldest inhabitant.
In fact. the number of acres which
have been upturned for the purpose
of tobacco planting, is about one.
third greater than ever before.

The Hot springs (Ark.) Democrat,
of Wednesday, learns by rumor gen.
orally accredited, that a horrible
murder was committed last Wednes-
day night in the vicinity of Center
Point. which in point of atrocity has
no parallel in the annals OF crime in
Arkansas, unless, perhaps. the muir
der of the Richardson family at Rock
Creek. in Pulaski county. may fur
nish its peer. A man living in How
ard county sold his farm and stock
last fall with a view to removing to
Texas. and receiving the money a
few days since, was all prepared for
his contemplated journey. On last
Wednesday be was at a neighbor's s
house, some few miles away from
home, his neighbor induced him to
stop over until morning; but during
the night the man who was away
from his family could not rest, feel
ing 8 presentiment that something
was going wrong at home. so he got
up and started, man from Texas,
who was heavily armed and stopping
at the same house. accompanying
him. Upon approaching his house
a light was discovered, when
the gentleman remarked to his Tex.
an friend that there certainly was
something wrong. as his wife was
not accustomed to being up so late
at night. They alighted. and creep
ing stealthily 20 the house, discov-
cred four men sitting by q bright
fire counting money. The horrible
suspicion of murder and robbery
flashed upon the minds of the par
ties watching the money-counters.
so stationing themselves, one at
each door, they commenced an at
tack upon the strange inmates, which
resulted in slaughtering the entire
party-the Texan killing three and
the other man one. Entering they
discovered the dead hodies OF the
mans wife and two little children,
while scattered about the room torch.
es were placed. ready to ignite, for
the purpose of firing the building to
conceal the crime.

Robbing the Poor Box.
New York Sun.

August Barth was held in default
of $500 bail in the Tombs Police
Court on charge Of stealing 1858
from the poor box in st. Patrick's 8
Cathedral. 1t was shown, on the ex-
animation, that thieves stand near
the Cathedral on Sunday morning
provided with a long whalebone with
a piece of wax on the end and that
when the ushers arc inside seating
strangers, the thieves drop a whale
bone into the box and draw out what
ever adheres to the wax. Hundreds
of dollars have been stolen in this
way within a few months, and it was
some time before the clergymen
learned why their parishioners were
giving so little for the poor.
