I left Washington city Thursday might and re- ported myself next day at noon im the office of Governor Walker, of Virginia. « ‘The handsomest man in the South was seated at a table, signing bills, in the old Confederate Supreme Court room. His ‘beautiful, gravish black mus- tache, healthy gray hair, clear skin and smiling ex- pression, every inch a lord lieutenant in the oldest Of our shires, grew soberer as he said:— “Lowery? Why, a captain of the Virginia milina applied to me yesterday to obtain permission for Rimselt and forty men to hunt that fellow in the swamps of North Carolina, Lowery must be a good deal of a character.” As I 100ked over the Mies of tne Richmond news- papers, and their intimate exchanges ot the tobacco, Tice and tar region, I found the question of the day to be—Lowery. He was at once the Nat Turner, tne usceola and the Rob Roy MacGregor of the South, With mingled ardor and anxicty, desire and trepl- dation, I pushed on by the Weldon rdad to Wilming- ton, the largest town of the State, where Lowery hea once been confined In prison. here was there but a single quesuon—Lowery. The Wilmington papers called the Roveson county people cowards for not cleauing him out. The Roveson county paper hurled back tne insinuation, but huried nothing else at Lowery. The State government got its share of the blame, and the State Adjutant General replied in a card that the militia and volunteers had no pluck on the occasion when he had tried them, Five men had mastered a Commonwealtn. THE SCARE ON THE ROAD. An instance of the deep sonse of apprehension created by these bandits in all Southeastern Caro- lina Is afforded by & dream which Colonel W. H. Barnard, editor of the Wilmington Star, related to me. The Colonel's paper 1s eighty miles from the scene of outlawry:— . “I dreamed the other night,” sald he, “that 1 was riding up the Rutuerford Railroad, and came to Moss Neck station, where the outlaws frequently appear. 1 thought 4 yellow fellow, ludian-looking, came to the car door and said, ‘Sverybody can pass but Barnard! I want him! ‘This was Henry Berry , Lowery. Then I dreamed that they took me into some kind of torture place, and poked guns at me and tantalized me.’ The newspapers were, however, making political capital out of the Lowery gang, instead of calling Upon an honorable and united State sentiment to suppress the scandal. The democratic papers cried, “Black Ku Klux ?' and the republican papers retorted by asking where was the valor of the white Ku Klux, who could fog a thousand peaceful men, but dared not mect five outlaws In arms, “The democrats,” said one Robeson county man, in my room, ‘‘as soon as they upset the republicans in Kobeson county, started 1n to annihilate Scume- town and its vote by terror. They have been beaten init, That chap Lowery has made them a langhiug stock. He ought to be killed, but they skulk out of his reach.” CRIME WITHOUT A COMPASS. Mayor Martin, of Wilmington, ‘President of the Rutherford Railway, which passes through Scuitie- town and the land of the outiaws, relates an inci- tens, pitiful at least to Northern ears, of the igno- France of these robbers, and the hopeless fight they are making within the limits of ull that is avaiable to them. Adjutant General Gorham, who directed the late ignominious campaign against the Lowery band—where, by current reports, the main victories gained were over the mulatto women, the sotdiery driving the husbands forth to tasuit and debauch their wives—said that Henry Berry Lowery, when asked to withdraw from the State, replied :.— “Robeson county is the only land I know. I can hardly read, and do not know where to go if I leave these woods and swamps, where I was raised, If ican get safe conduct and pardon f will go any- where, I will join tie United States army and fignt the Indians, But these people wil! not let me leave alive, and 1 do not mean to enter any jati again. I ‘will never give up my gun.” Mayor Martin’s solution of the diflicuity 13 for the United States to deciare martial law over the whole Congressional district in which Roveson county sands, and make @ systematic search with regular troops for these outlaws, He says that when they first took to their excursions they were compara- Uvely sober, but of late have taken to drinking, and about foar weeks ago they all, exeept their leader, got drunk at Hd. Smith’s store, Moss Neck, and lay there all night! “Whiskey,” said Mayor Martin, “will reduce them in time; but they are very caretui whose liquor they drink in these days, Henry Berry Lowery lett his flask hanging on afence & few weeks ago, ana when lie returned to get 1t he made cverybouy at the station drink wit alm.” TO LUMBERTON. Early tn the morning, Monday, February 26, I Wok tte train for Lumberton, and irom the forward car to the tail the freignt was Lowery. In the second Class carriage, escorted by the two sheriils, MacMillan and Brown, of Roveson county, was Pop Oxendine—the previous said to be his iiterai hame—brother of Henderson Oxendine, the only one of the outlaws Who was ever brought to trial who had recently murdered @ negro at ScuMetown, and he was a remarkable looking mulatto, with a yellowish olive skin, good features, and a handsome, appealing, unreliable, untnter- pretable pair of black eyes, So good looking a mulatto man, with such a complexion, I had not seen, Like the rest, he had the Tuscarora Indian blood in him, with the duplicity of the mixed races where the white blood predominates, He was troned fast to the seat and looked at me with a 100k inquisitive, pitiful, evasive and ingenuous by turns. If [should describe the man by the words nearest my {dea I should cali him a negro-Indian gypsy. The passengers were appreiensive ard inqusi- tive together, wanting to know all about Lowery and dreading to encounter him. ‘The fuuiest, and often very intelligent, explanations were made to me, and every facility was tendered to assist me to form accurate conclusions as to the characters in the band. Colonel 8, L. Fremont, General Superintendent of the Rutherford Railway, will permit no passen- ger carrying arms for the purpose of shooting Lowery to ride on his trains, as he fears that such Permission will endanger the safety of the rail wa: Lowery could toss a train off almost any day, but he seems to hold @ superstitious respect for the United States mails. A few months ago a man by the name of Marsden announced that he meant to travel up and down the Toad as a detective and kill Lowery on sight. ‘To Put him to the test Lowery and all the band ap- peared with cocked shotguns at Moss Neck station, and stood at @ respectapie, yet furtive, “present arms,” while the braggart, for such he was, crawled under the car seat, Lowery offerea $100 reward to anybody who would tell him whether Marden or Marsden was on the train, as he meant to follow the fellow up the road, but he would not cross the platform himself, The conductors and engineers Bay that there is perfect salety on the trains, although none know when the outlaw leader may take offence against the company or its oficers. LUMBERTON IN COURT WEEK. The Rutherford Railway traverses the counties of Mle southern tier of North Carolina, passing few towns of magnitude, but built generally through the pitch pine woods, whose white boles, stripped a few {eet from the grouud and notched to provoke the flow of the sap and to catcn it, resemble the mterminable tombstones of a woodland burial ground, Swamps intersect the woods, and the Tesinous-lookiug Waters Of many creeks and canals | alternate with deserted rice fields, the skeletons of old turpentine distilleries, the stubble of ragged cotton plantations, some occasional weather-black- ened shanties, and now and then a sawmill or a plie of newly hewn timber, Fiat, humid, almost uninhabited, is the traveiler’s first impression of the country, But there isa speck of light and life at Abbottsville, tne home of ex- United States Senator Abvott. who has built up the “Cape Fear Building Company,” to supply ready Made houses to the people of his adopted State, and whose private resi- dence, of yellow frame, 18 next to the large mill and branch rallway of the enterprise. After five hours?’ ride we came to the weather Dlackened, unpainted town of Lumberton, on the flowing Lumber River, a branch of the Pedee, Lumberton is the seat of Robeson county, the stamping ground of Lowery’s band. With one ex- cepuon—and that disputable as the act of the band—no murder has been committed by the Lowerys veyond the lines of this county. It con- tains, by the census of 1870, 3,042 men above the age of twenty-one, By the censue of 1850, the last preceeding census available at this point of view, it contained 639 whites unable to reau, and had at that time 1,171 free negroes, or more than even the populous county in which Wimington stands, and quintuple the free negro population of the adjacent counties, Scuitletown, a few miles distant from Lumberton, was one of the largest free Negro settiements in the United States before the war against slavery, and 1l was, besides, an almost immemorial free negro setWement, ‘This being Court Week, tie town of Lumberton was full of ScuMetowners, and t#aw and talked with Sinclair Lowery and Patriek Lowery, elder brothers of the outlaws, and also with “Dick” Uxendine, who married tie only sister of Henry Berry Lowery, and who keeps a _ barroom in the Court House village. Resides, 1 visited the scene of the latest exploits of the Lowerys, the capture of (he most valuable saie in the town, as well as the county official safe, which they con- temptuously rejected on the road. 1 aiso visited the jJml where Henderson Oxendine’s gallows stood, and the court room, where a noisy crier made proc- lamation from tne opon window, and the garru:ous Judge Clarke was delivering a charge upon the i enormities of these bandittl, crying meantime into ; his pocket handkerchief, Besides, 1 taiked with a great ntfmber of the leading citizens, who, to a man, were of Scotch descent; and at noon next day, re- suming the train, I visited ScufMetown and siept with courteous entertainers at Shoe Heel, in the heart of whe pine forest. ‘The meidents of these excursions will appear hereafter. Let me now address myself to descrip- ing the ouviaws. DESCRIPTION OF HENRY BERRY LOWERY. Henry Berry Lowery, the leader of the most for- midable bang of outlaws, considering the small- ness of its numbers, that has been known in this country, is of mixed Tuscarora, mulatto and white blood, twenty-six years of age, five feet nine inches high and weighing about 150 pounds. He has straight black hair, like an Indian;a dark goatee, and a beard graceful in shape, but too thin to look very black. His face slopes from the cheek bones to the lip of his goatee, so as to give him the Southern American contour of physiognomy; but it ts lighted with eyes of adifferent color—eyes of a grayish hazei—at times appearing light blue, with a drop of brown in them, but in agitation dilating, darkening, and, although never quite losing the appearance of asmite, yetin action it isa smile of devilish na- ture. His forehead is good and his face aud expression retined—remarkably so, considering his mixed race, Want of education and long career of Jawlessness A scar of crescent shape and black color hes in the skin beiow bis left eye, said to have been made by an tron pot falling upon him when a child, His voice 1s sweet and pleasant, and in his manner there 13 nothing self-important or swagger- ing. He 18 not talkative, listens quietly, and searches ont whoever ts speaking to him like @ man tilterate in all nooks save the tWo great books of nature, and human nature above ali, The color of his skin is of awhiush yellow sort, with an admixture of cop- per—such a skin as, for the nature of its compo- nents, is in color indescribanle, there being no negro biood in it except that of a far remote generation of mulatto, and the Indian still apparent, It is enough to say of this skin that it seems to surrer Nitle change by heat or cold, exposure or sickness, good housing or wild weather, The very relatives oi white men killed by Henry Berry Lowery adinitted to me that “He ts one of the handsomest mulattoes you ever saw.” LOWERY PHYSICALLY. To match this face the outlaw’s body is of mixea strength and beauty. It is well knit, wiry, straight In the shoulders and limbs, without a physical flaw init, and as one said to me who had known him well since childhood, ‘‘He 1s like a trap ball, elastic all over.” He Nas feet which would be noticeable anywhere, pointed and with arching instep, so that he can wear a very shapely boot, and his extremt- tles, 11ke his features, indicate nothing of the negro, A good chest, long bones, suppleness, proportion, make his walk and form pleasing to see. He is neg- ligent about his dress, but his clothes become him and never disparage him. People have told me that he wore fine clothes; but, when questioned to the point of re-examination, admitted that he had nothing on but a woollen blouse and trousers and a black wide-brimmed, stiff woollen hat, HIS ARMS. To see this trim youth as he appears whenever seen on the highroads or the piney forest bypath, or as oiten at the railway stations of Moss Neck, Eu- reka, Buie’s Store or Rea Banks, is to see young Mars bearing about an arsenal, His equipment might appear preposcerous if we co not consider the peculiar circumstances of his warfare—outiawed by the State of North Carolina, without a@ reliable base of supplies, and compelied to carry arms and charges in them enough to encounter a large body of men or stand a long campaiga. A belt around his waist accommodates five six-barrelied revol-! vers—long shuoters, From this belt @ shoulder strap passes up and supports behind, slinging fasmion, & Spencer rifle, which carries eignt car- widges, and It is now generally alleged that he has and hanged, Hg Was shauyod to axeRuiar army | replaced thls with @ Honry ride, carrying double « 4 » r ( the former number of cartridges, while, succes- sively, man after man of the band, by some myste- rious agency, becomes possessed of a Spencer rifle, I addition to these forty or forty-eigat charges Lowery carries a long-bladed knife and a large flask of whiskey—the latter because he fears to be pol- soned by promiscuous neighborhood drinking, He can run like a deer, swim, stand weeks of exposure im the swamps and forest, walk day and night, and take sleep by little enatches, which, in a few days, would tire out white or negro, Although a tippler, he was never known to be drunk—a fact not to be Justly asserted of ms confederates, Brought sud- denly at bay he is observed to wear that light, fiendish, enjoying smile, which sbows a nature at its depths savage, predatory and fond of blood, The war he has waged for the past nine years, within a region of twelve or fifteen miles square, against county, State, Confederate and United States authorities, alternately or unitedly, is justification for the terror apparent in the faces of ail the white people within those limits. Lowery’s bana gives more concern to the Carolinas than did Carictoa’s Legion nihely yeats ago, LOWERY AS A BRIGAND LEADER. “What is the meaning of tis?’ said I to “Par- son”? Sinclair—the fignting parson of Lumberton— “How can this fellow, with a handful of boys and illiterate men, put to Might @ society only recently used to warlare and full of accomplished soldiers? Explain tt.” “Lowry,” answered Sinclatr, “is really one of those remarkable executive spirits that arises now and then in a raw community, without advantages other thau nature gave him, He has passions, put no Weaknesses, and niseye is on every point ai once, He has impressed that whole negro society with bis power and influence. They fear and admire him, He asserts his superiority over all these whites Just as well, No man who stands face to face with lim can resist his quict will and assurance and his searching eye. Without fear, without hope, defylag society, he is the only man we have any knowledge of down here who can play his part. Upon my Word, believe it he had lived ages ago he would have heen a William the Congueror, He reminds me of novody but Rob Roy.” HIS BLOOD AND INCLINATIONS. The three natures of white, Indian and negro are, however, seen at intervals to come forward in this outlaw’s nature. ‘The negro trace 13 1n bis love or rude music. ie is a banjo player, and when the periodical hunt for him 1s done he repairs to some one of tne huts in Scudletown and plays to the dauc- ing of the mulatto giris aud his compamons by Lhe honr, his belt of arms uuslung and thrown at hus feet, the peaceable part of the audience taking part with mixed wonder, delight and apprehension. Several times this banjo nearly betrayed him to his pursuers, Sheriff MacMillan descrived iumself and posse once iying out all night in the swamp and Umber around Lowery’s cabin vo wait for him to come forth af daytight, “and,” said he, “that banjo was just everlasiingly thrumiming, and we could hear the langhter and Juba-beating nearly We whole mghi long.’? TH MULATTO SARDANAPALUS. The licentlousness of Lowery is suiiicient to be noticeable, but while it never engages him to the exclusion of vigilance and activity, it ulso shows what may be traced in some degree to his fndian hature—the using of women as an auxulary to war aod plunder, He bas debauched & number of his prisoners With the mulatto giris of Scuilietowa, and the charms of these yellow unted syrens ¥roke up the morale of tae late campaign in force avalast the outlaws, winle, as some allege, the discovery of tne Detective Landers’ plan to captnre Low was made by agiriin Lowery’s Interest with wii spent hisume. Lowery nas said, and la il, That he devisea at @ critical potat ma truce be- tween the contending parties Wat a bevy of the prettiest and fraitest beauties in scutietown should come up aad pe introduc to one of the officers high in command, After that the Marc Antony in question laid down ms sword, and gave practical evidence that the hostility of races is not so greac as tne slavery statesmen alleged. The indifierence of the Indian to the loan of his squaws tinds some parallel in Lowery’s tactics, He timself Is the Don Juan of Scuiietown; bui he sleeps on hts arms, and will go into the swamps for weeks wilhous repin- ing. Women have been employed to give him up; but they either repent or he discovers tae purpose by intuitive sagactty, THE OUTLAWS WIFE. The white society around him gave Henry Berry Lowery a lessoa in Seli-schooling and Thi <o far as woinen were coucerned. Alter the murders of Barnes aud farris—oftences which, some Unk, ought to have been included m the proclamation of oblivion for offences committed by both sides before Ue close oi Lhe War—Lowery stood up by the side of Rhody Strong, the most beautiful mulatto of town, to be married. Aware of the engagement and the occasion, Wie Sheril’s posse, with cruel de- liberation, surrounded the house Ull the ceremony was over, and then rushed In and touk the outlawed husband from the side o1 his wile, te was re- moved to Lumberton jail, and tien sent stil further away to Columbus county jail; out he broke through the bars, escaped to the ‘woods with the trons on bis wrists, and made fs way to his bride, They have three childreo, the fruit of thelr stolen and rudely mterrupted Mmterviews. A GLIMPSE AT MADAME LOWERY. As Irode down on the train trom Shoe Feel to Lumberton, on the 2sth of February, the conductor, Colonel Morrison, came vo me and saldi—“ir you want to see Heary Berry Lowery’s wile you can ind her in tne forward second-class car.” She had taken Ihe train at Red Banks jor Moss Neck—points be- tween which the whole band of outlaws irequently ride on the treight trains—and at the latter notable | station | saw her descend with her baby and walk off down tue road i the woods and ‘stop there among the tall pitch pines, as if waiting ior some- body. The baby—the last heir of outawry—vegan tocry as she le:t the train, and she said, mother- fuspion: “No, no, no, | wouldu’t cry, when I bad beea so good all day!” ‘This woman Is te sister of two of the five remaming outlaws and wite or the third, ‘The whites call her satir- leaily, ‘tne queen of Scuiieiown ;? but she appeared to be @ micek, _ pretry-eyed rather shriaking girl, of a very light color, puorly dressed, She wore mady smalt brass rings, witi cheap red stones in thei, On her smail hands, aad adark green plaid dress of musia delatne, which Just revealed her new black morvcco “siore”! shoes, ‘A yeliowisn muslin or calico hood, with a long cape, covered her head, and there was noting veside that Lremember except a shawl ot brigit colors, much worn.

Riody Lowery 18 said not to be @ constant wiicy but to fole low the current example of Senitetown, Other persona, the negroes notably, deny this, A more persevering hewspaper correspondent might setue the issue, LOWERY AS A TERRORIZER. Mr. Hayes, a republican, of Suoe Hecl, whose knowledge of the Scunietown settiemeni is very good and whose practical Northern miud 13 not likely to ve deceived, told me tial Lowery, among nis numerous warnings served upon people, stop- ped one white man on the road ana sald, “You are taking advantage of my circumstances aud ab- sence to be famiuiar witn mny family.

Lowery tlien named @ point on the road where lie would meet MacNaur, and be met nun instead three miles nearer to Lamberton. The feeling of terror in the county may be understood when, Without more deiay, Rhody Lowery was sct free, Waule in the region several persons urged me to 9 out and tik to Lowery, Sherif? MacMillan and ir. Brown, the son-in-law of the murdered Shecuy King—strange as 1 may appear tor county ollicer: and | mention it to show the superstidon mspired py this brigand—oftered to obtaim an interview tor me with the whole gang by sending out some member of the Lowery fumily to neyouate. My faith was not equat to theirs, and I dectined, “Do you suppose tuat fellow would give mea ae Lsatd to Calvin Black, ® merchant of shoe eel. “Yes, if he could be made to understand that your intentions were pacitic, The large reward how out for him, amounting, for himseit aud party, to about forty-five thousand dollars, taken dead or alive, makes hin apprehensive of assassination. Butil be were to promise not to injure you, you could go anywhere 10 sce him with periect im- punity.”? This was general testimony. Rev. Mr. Machiermid, editor ot tae Robesontan, the county organ, who does his duty by unintimi- dated denunciation of this outlaw, sald :—"Henry verry Lowery has sent me word tuat I nad better be cautious how 1 wriie avout aim, but i beneve nat L could go to see hin to-day, for he appreciates lis consequgnce in the rée he has assumed.” 1 noticed, however, that nopody aid go to see lum, aud Livls lowed that high and general exampic. PRICK OF LOWERY’S IWAD, Since Jefferson Davis’ flight ana the reward put upon is head there nee been no American cri Inal—probably none previously in aii the bistory the country for offences at common law—who has been dignified with the amoyunt of money oitered for Lowery’s overtaking. It it should appear in the North that this sketch 18 too strong, I point to this coward and to the fact that tis cuulew nas already made & personal and bloody campaign against society longer than the whole revolutionary war, Osceola, or Powell (WhO Was an immediate mixture of Indian and negro blood, and who fougut over a region), gave out in a much shorter space of resisiance. HIS CHIVALRY. TWo things are to te chronicled in this man's favor, and 1 make them on the universal testimony of everybody in this reyion. ‘He has never com- maltted arson or rape or offered imsuis to females.

W. 3. Jatiray & Co., of 630 Broadway, in Philadelphia, and @ quantity of silk stolen, vatued at about five thou- sand do.lars. News of the robbery was telegraphed to Superintendent Kelso, of the local police, and he placed the matter in the hands of Captain Irving, ot the _ detective force, who sent Detectives Dunne aud Dusenberry to Philadelphia to look into the affair and see how the robbery was done, Alter a careful examination of the place the detectives came to the conclusion that the robbery was committed by SOME NEW YORK THIEWES. This was shown by the extraordinary care the burglars had taken to leave everyting a8 they had found it and leave as litile trace of the robbery be- bind them as possible. The detectives say they must have been in Philadelphia for some tme before they robbed the place, watching the movements of the people engaged im the store, and from what they saw to be the usual routine of the house they made thew plans. On the evening of the 13th Henry Douglas, the watchtwan at the store, Went to his supper, as was his custom, about seven o'clock, and the thieves then putting a watch on the’ sidewalk to see that thelr movements were not in- with, opened the street door and the building, They had previously ssion of the lock during thg absence and had keys made to fit it, They ud took the merchandise in small corner of a neighboring street, went into taken an imp of the watenman, rided the store quantities to tH where a he and wagon were in Walle ing to convey the goods to a place | ready — decided 07 place a number of Hinks were pre x the SliKs Mieves started for New York with thelr booty, eheeked as personal baggage, by the tem o'elock trai leaving Poiadeipiia.
