Raise now your manly voices;
Our w brave land rejoices
To hear the battle song,
With patriotic ardor,
Devoted to our nation,
Wen die for her salvation,
A band of warriors strong.

Soldiers brave! Our couytry
Calls us to the strife:
Faithfully to serve her,

The sword let us brandish
Before the slaves affrighted,
In cowardice benighted,
They dare not face the brave!
In the smoke of battle
Their forces shall be scattered,
And by Jul valor shattered
They'll find a bloody gravel
Chorus-Soldiers brave, etc.
The sound of the trumpet
Echoes from the borders,
The country's anxious warder
Thrill at the lannon's roar.
Mars, the God Of Battles.
Calls on warfare glorious.
Our hosts shall be victorious.
Spain, for evermore!

dent of Bladen county, arrived in the
city yesterday via the Seaboard Air Linz
in charge of Texas Marable, colored, an
escaped penitentiary convict from the
rice farm near Navassa.
Marable was placed in Jail in this city,
until about 4 o'clock when he was taken
in charge by Mr.. Geo. II. Cannon, su-
pervisor Of the farm, and escorted back
to Navassa.
Marable about two months ago was
convicted in oxford of stealing a horse
and buggy, and was sentenced to impris-
onment in the penitentiary for five years.
Subsequently he was sent to the farm
near Navassa, but during the severe
storm Wednesday night he managed to
make his escape.

heard that the escaped convict was in
Bladen county, and, after a search of
several hours, managed, with the assist
ance of Mr.. Lucas, to capture him and
bring him to this city, where he was
turned over to the proper authorities.
Deputy Vause in conversation with a.
Messenger representative yesterday af-
ternoon, stated thu Marable was highly
amused over his escape. He (Marable)
said hat Wednesday night he and anoth-
er man were left alone on the farm;
that he became tired, and aware that his
guard was a poor marksman and could
not shoot straight enough to hit a large
water tank, he quietly walked of, unmO-

er the new members OF the latter. cease

rected at the southern. The Atlantic
and North Carolina railway is much
down. with some bridges not al all
modern and unfit FOR heavy traffic. and
its dividends have been paid at the cx-
pense OF its equipment.
Inquiry was made as to what would
be thought a fair rate Of rental OF
the road. and II was replied that tho
state could afford to rent for 2ie 10 {
per cent. on the capital stock. Rumors
as to the rental TO be paid ranged all
the way from > TO 5 per cent.

THE GENEROUS COMPROMISE.
British Paper Thus Charnctcriycs
Americans Propositions.

London, March 30.-The Daily News
says editorially: Again the unexpect-
Ell has happened. According TO our
American correspondents report, the
spirit of peace has descended upon the
American public, apparently in the be-
lief that United States Minister Wood
ford has sent Il dispatch containing as
suranceS that Spain is willing, under
conditions, to withdraw her troops
from Cuba and thus give the island eff
fective autonomy, if not independence.
II this be true, il throws the Maine
disaster into its due perspective by
giving America due satisfaction on the
larger issue. Yet there are still I'M
certainties. The presidents message
undoubtedly suggests some kind of
reparation. Then there is the question
of Cuba's future which is expected to
be dealt with in tO-morrow's presiden-
tial message. Gen. Woodford's dis
patch comes just i'm time to determine
the character Of that communication.
The siautaiOn may thus be summar-
lied: The United States are willing to
Stifie their resentment for the loss Of
the Maine if they receive satisfaction
with regard to the Cuba of the future
1t Is the generous compromise and
Spain will do well 10 be wise in time"
