ROBBERY IN BucKrSGHAN-SISGuLAR DErEc-
TIoS oP THE THTEvEs.-On the 14th of Febru-
ary, Mrs. John Davis, of Buckingham county,
and her family, went out to spend the day,
and upon their return found that their smoke
house had been broken open and twenty-five
pieces of meat stolen. No trace of the thieves
was found, but day or two afterwards Mrs.
Davis noticed that her dog appeared TO be
unwell, and administered an emetic, which,
when it operated, proved conclusively that
the dog had been devouring an unusually
large quantity of raw meat. The dog was
locked mp until he became ravenously hungry,
and then turned loose and followed
He ran off into the woods, and soon
hunted up a ham, which was taken
from him. The dog still continued his search,
and in the end the whole of the twenty-five
pieces of meat was recovered in the same
manner. A young man then lay in wait near
the place where the meat had been hidden, and
in the night ten men came stealthily up. They
were fired on Immediately and one, named
Lane, was shot in the neck but made his
escape, while the other, man named Thomas,
was wounded in the face, and is now in custody.
The extreme hunger of the dog-detective
doubtless sharpened his faculties, and he has
fairly earned an honest dinner for many day
TO come.

of whatever the writer himself considers at the
moment proper and desirable. Just or orthodoxy
with unfedged theologians means only - nv
doxy'' as against everybody else. During the
war each party and each clique within each par
ty held loyalty to be the support of its partic-
ular war policy and its general politics, and all
outside the clique or party were held as really
disloyal as those bearing arms against the Gov
ernment. In fact man might volunteer for the
defence of the Government and bleed and die in
its behalf, and nevertheless be denounced as
disloyal if he differed from these political doc.
trinaires. The doctrinaires no doubt thought
they were doing service to the country by their
intolerance, but 1t was a terrible mistake and
one of the great obsticles to unity and success
was the distrust and ill-feeling produced by it.


Loyalty is still good word to coniure with.
1t is also a convenient cover for poverty of
thought and words Nevertheless it ought not
to be so oyer-workei 1t is wanted still for its
legitimate use, and there are plenty of good
words for all other things and ideas, without un-
dertaking to make this stand for everything
The proposed amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, equalizing representation, is
just and proper and the Southern States ought
TO assent to it; but it is in no admissible sense
test of loyalty. To call it so does not strength
en- the argument for its adoption. Equal suffrage
Is required by the accepted principles of democ-
racy anu repupiicanlsm, but man may pe loyal
and yet 60 for limited suffrage and retain an un-
reasonable prejudice of race and color Moth
ing is gained by the muddle of words and ideas
by which virtue is made to stand for all the
rest, and one vice to embody the whole cata-
logue of evil deeds. Liberty, equality, justice,
democracy are still strong and healthy words,
just good loyalty, and much better where
they belong than that is out of place. Let US
have revival of loyalty to the dictionary, to
sound words and exact ideas. Let us trust to

The Wilmington Journal gives the
following facts relative to the capture
of a whale below that city:


The whale recently captured is of the
fin-back species, and was first seen
about sunrise on Tuesday, March Goth,
and soon after grounded on an oyster
rock near SmithVille. He got clear,
and started up the channel agita.
ting the water more than an ordinary
steamboat He shortly afterwards ran
aground again, this time opposite the
residence of Mrs Stuart Mr.. Warren,
a gentleman in Smithville, fred az him
while in this position; but he appeared
perfectly regardless of the shot, and
extricsting himself again, started up
the channel. A small schooner, named
the Planet, then started in pursuit,
and found him stuck on Shows marsh,
opposite Fort Fisher; but on coming up
with him it was discovered that he had
again succeeded in extricating himself
and was making directly for the
schooner. This movement on the part
of the whale caused great deal of
CONSERVATION among the crew of the
vessel, which was Immediately faced
about and all haste was made from the
scene of action; but on proceeding q
short distance they observed that the
whale, who was probably as badly
frightened as the crew, had also
changed his course, and was making
all speed in an opposite direction, and
was in a short time seen to run ashore
near the place where he had just got
off


A small boat was sent to reconnoitre
his position. Finding him fast aground,
and the tide falling, the schooner pro
ceeded to Smithville to get the assist
ance of the sloop Flash, and also to OBJ
tain the services of a gentleman resi-
ding in Smithville, who has had several
years experience in the whaling busi-
ness. .----.--


On their return, the tide having fall
en- considerably, the huge monster was
discovered to be almost entirely out of
the water. The first object was to kill
him; accordingly hole was cut in his
side, and the old whaler ran his sword
in until his arm was almost entirely
embedded in his body. His heart was
eventually pierced, but even then it
was nearly two hours before he had
ceased TO breathe. In his fury he could
throw a stream of water six inches in
diameter fully hundred feet high.
His dimensions were sscertained to be
as follows. fifty-six feet long, and
twenty-sevea feet in circumference.
The head is about one-third of the en-
tire length. The jaws are sixteen feet
long on either side, and nine feet wide
across the thrSat This tail is about
twelve feet wide, and serves him as q
weapon. He is only about half grown,
and weighs thirty-six tons, or seventy
two thousand pounds


To give some idea Of his immense
weight, it IS stated that even after the
upper jaw and skull were cut away, it
was impossible, owing to the immense
weight, to get the under Jaw on the
deck of the schooner, so it must re-
main in the water until the flesh decays
before the bone can be saved.


The carcass would have made sixty
/ barrels of oil, if facilities could have
been obtsined for cutting and tying up
the blubber. As il is, only about twen-
ty-6ve barrels, or eight hundred gal
Ions, have been saved

"About two or three weeks ago. in house

bed, and must have died during the night.
Around her lay her four little daughters, the
oldest one about twelve years of age. Day
break revealed to them their mothers dead

In this ix they were found and brought by
some one, in o little cart, to Bishop Cobb's
Home for Orphans. They were brought
there on Friday. When these little girls
came to the house they were the picture of
misery and want, and had scarcely rag on

they we're crying for bread. The baby, about
three years of age died on Saturday. The
DOOR little thing was TOO near gone for any
human aid to do her any good. She begged
for aid until she died."


Another one named Lizzie, about seven or
eight years of age, died on Wednesday. She
was pretty little girl, but reduced to mere
skeleton. She begged those around her to
give her some meat and bread to the last.

of secession, are sending their sons and daugh-
ters to Northern schools? Why should mon
ey be taken from the impoverished South and
sent to swell the overhowing Golfers of the
rich North? Have we no Southern teachers
who can teach these young girls and boys,
that they must be placed under charge of
Yankee Presbyterians, who wese so holy and
pure that they could not affiliate with their
St. Louis General Assembly unless they would
confess they were aud bad been sinners against
God and man during their whole lives ? Are
we so ready to acknowledge our inferiority
that we must take the money left : in the
South to educate our sons and daughters at
Northern schools where they may be taught
that we are all traitors and criminals of the
highest grade? Better that the youth of the
South should never be educated thaa they
should be educated to hate their own people.
But we assert, confidently, that we have
universities in the South equal TO Yale, Hsr-
ward and Princeton, and femase schools far
superior to any in New York, Ohio or Mas
Gachusetts.
