NINETEENTH lNSTALLMENT
Thursday, June "a, 1S5S.-Our friend
Mr.. William White Of Bulock's Creek,
sends us word that his first cotton
bloom appeared on the 14th instant
We are glad to learn from all quarters
Of the district that the crop promises
we'll.
Negro SteaIins.-With the tempor-
ary lull in the political crusade OF the
Black Republicans, the negro stealing
mania appears to have broken out
afresh among them. Nearly every mail
brings us accounts Of their kidnapping
exploits, in many Of which happily the
scoundrels have been caught and
slowed away for future disposal
The latest affair took place in Pc
tersburly, Va. last week. Several cit
izens missed their slaves, who were
tracked to the schooner Keziah, Yam
kee craft that had been harboring In
the adjacent waters. She was permit
ted to drop down to Norfolk, when the
officers were sent in quest, and having
overhauled her, discovered a negro
woman and four men secreted in the
hold. The craft was taken in tow and
the crestfallen kidnappers with the
booty, (of which by the way they ap-
peared to know nothing whatever).
carried back to Petersburg to await
the vengeance Of the law. The ves-
sci will be confiscated and the captain
and mate will be compelled to pay
fine Of $500 and be imprisoned on each
indictment at least three years. We
hope the full limit will be extended to
them.
An exchange tells good one which
should have space just here. Having
searched the vessel, and having given
up all hope Of finding the negroes, one
of the pursuers declared in loud tone
that they would set the craft on fire,
at the same time hurrying the crew
when Tony, who was concealed under
the forecastle burst out with, Don't
you, Mars Jeems-dey amt marry mig

Interros osatories-( (EditoriaD- The
candidates for the legislature are re-
quested to refer to certain interroga-
tories in another column in reference
to the bank question. They were sent
to us for publication by respectable
gentlemen from different sections Of
the district, and are, Of course, worthy
Of consideration. We regret that this
question has been mooted at all. The
good to be accomplished by such an
agitation is certainly problematical;
and we feel assured that our readers
do not take sufficient interest in the
subject to consent that the paper be
wholly occupied by the discussion. AS
they have been called for by authority,
we feel bound to give place to the re-
plies Of the candidates; but we must
insist upon as much brevity as possi-
BILE. The discussion has already been
carried on at great length, and surely
the people are sufficiently enlightened
for all practical purposes. We trust
that the candidates will be contented
with simply deferring their position.
