Arrest of James Fetner.

- Governor Chamberlain has made re-
QUESTION upon Governor Brogden of North
Carolina for James Fetner, charged with
murder, while acting as engineer in charge of
the train that occasioned the recent fatal &C.
cident on the Charlotte, Columbia and Au-
gusta Railroad. Governor Brogden accord
ingly issued warrant of arrest.
Fetner was arrested one day last week on
the line of the Airline Railroad and taken
to Charlotte, when, under advice, he refused
to be conveyed further, upon the ground that
he had been arrested in Georgia and without
authority. The case was carried before Judge
Bynu,n, of the Supreme Court, who, after ar
gument, adjudged that there was sufficient
cause for his arrest, and remanded the prison
er to jail for six months, unless sooner called
for by the proper authorities. The warrant
of arrest was given to an officer of South
Carolina, who at once brought the prisoner
to this State.

The Fence Question.
- Several of our North Carolina cotem-
poraries are turning their attention to the
fence law, urging its adoption, and proving
the success it has met in various localities of
that State, where it has been adopted.
A correspondent of the Charleston Neus
and Courier writing from Washington city,
gives the following as the result of his obser.
vations of the working of a similar law in New
England:
II notice that the News and Courier is ad-
vocating no-fence law in South Carolina
During my visits to the coast of Maine, the
past two summers, have seen such law in
operation, and have heard it we'll spoken Of by
ALL In the town Of Belfast it has certainly

this law went into operation there, most of the
citizens have removed the fences which sur
