A VICTORY FOR RIGHT.

The news Of the late Beer victory
will be received with joy in all portions
of the Republic. Patriots who believe
in fair-play and stand against criminal
aggression" will pray that The last may
be one of many victories for the Beers
who are fighting for their homes and
firesides. John Morley spoke truly when
he said that the English war on the
Beers is ''only gold-hunting conspiracy. .
The Beers are fighting against heavy
odds, but they have the sympathy of all
the world except those whose motto ia:
Let him take who has the power,
And let him keep who can
We hardly dare TO hope that these
brave men will be able to withstand the
superior forces of Great britain, but we
glory in every blow they give to the Eng
lish army-an army that is fighting to
take from the humble Beers the rights
which belong to them.
The venerable Dr. John Milton Worth,
Of Randolph, a few days ago sent the
editor this message: Il am on the side
of the Beers, and hope they will win.
Though growing old Dr. Worth takes Il
deep interest in all public questions and
always rings clear.

Wadesboro Messenger
We would suggest to Butler, and his
negro allies, that the sensible thing foT
them to do is to bring Manly. the in
famous negro editor who was run out of
Wilmington, back to the State and pF
him in chief command of their army.
and that his compatriots, who We're scat
tered abroad" in the recent cleansing of
our city by the sea, be given subordinate
positions under him. Surely there are
none who have more cause to cherish a
grievance against the gang referred to
by Butler than they, and the suppoSition
is that they would gladly change resi-
dences with the said gang"

In sending the foregoing to the Chi

Mr. Dockery was given nothing less

so intense and continuous that it was
some time before he was allowed to pro-
