Menaces and Vindictiveness of the Criminal Rovers. Wummeaton, N. C., March 20, 1872. Toontinue tho narrative of events in the unparalloled journalistic triumph achieved by the Heraxp in its determined purpose to obtain at every cost and every personal risk by its representatives all attainable informa- tion regarding the Carolioa outlaws whv have defied an entire laughed at the power of a mighty nation, and brought to shame the boasted civilizxtion of the nine- teenth century. In my despatches of yester- day I detailed the adventures of your cor- rospondent who is now in the hands of the Lowerys, up to the point of his perilous and romantic entrée into the district In which the Lowerys bear almost undisputed sway. THE FIRST ACCURATE INTELLIGENCE, The Hee Axp bureau of information in Wil- mington is to-day possessed of full and aceu- rate information regarding the subsequent adventures of your correspondent among the outlaws, which information fully corroborates the previous accounts emanating from the same eource. After leaving the train your corre- spondent boldly penetrated the terra incognita of swamps and forests, and, afier overcoming prodigious difficulties, finally reached the residence of old Mrs. Lowery, the mother of the Carolina banditti, who boasis her maternity of the bold outlaws of the swamps as proudly, perbaps, as did the Roman mother of the Gracchi, who could point to no jewels save her children. I sball not attempt to fiescribe the perils and difficulties happily surmounted by your correspondent in reach- {ng the residence of THE MOTHER OF THE OAROLINA ROB ROY, Henry Berry Lowery, in the pursuance of his dauntless purpose to give the Hrratp readers all the information possible concerning the outlaws. His trials and perils were am- ply rewarded by subsequent develop- ments. Old Mrs. Lowery consented to carry the Herratp_ representative to the cabin of Henry Berry Lowery, where he met Rhody Lowery, the wife of the Robin Hood of Robeson county, the Circe who has held for years the enamored allegiance of the outlaw chief, and the siren who may yot re- call him to the haunts which he has tempo- sarilly forsaken. THE BANDI1'S WIFE AS A MEDIATOR. At once between Rhody Lowery and the HERALD correspondent there was established mutual confidence. The ‘Queen of Scuille- town” promptly realized the dignity of her position as the mediator between the outlaws commanded by her husband and the great representative journal of America, which is giving to the world the authentic narrative of the exploits of her husband and his con- federates. Rhody promptly consented to obtain the desired meeting between the outlaws and the representative of the Heratp. In his dexterous wooing of the wife of the outlaw, in his purpose to make her an auxiliary to the grand enterprise of giving to the world the heretofore unfath- omable existence of the Lowery gang, your correspondent gave a striking exemplifica- tion of tact and enterprise. He remained the OONSTANT ATTENDANT OF MRS. RHODY LOWERY, andon Sunday last gallantly attended her to church, and after the services were finished ‘accompanied her back to hercabin. A few moments after the arrival of the fHraLp representative at Rhody’s cabin she consented to bring about the desired meeting between the outlaws; and the correspondent of the Hera, absenting bimself from the cabin for ® few moments, was startled and naturally Allied with apprehension at the sight of TWO MEN ARMED CAP-A-PIE who, as if by almost supernatural agency, had entered the cabin at the summons of Rhody Lowery, and stood in the door as he prepared to re-enter, These men, who seemed to the Herarv representative to be apparitions of appalling mien and purpose, were Andrew Strong, the brotuer of the now world famous ‘Boss" Strong and Steve Low- ery, the brother of Henry Berry Lowery, who, through the medium of the Henan, has already as widely extended a notoriety as commonwealth, NEW YUKK HERALD, THUKSDAY, MAKUH 21, 1872— attaches to the names of the most famous of the robber chieftains whom fiction has crea- ated. HE IS EYED WITH SUSPICION. Eyeing the Henarp representative with a suspicion not unoatural in outlaws who have for years defied society and upon whose heads a price of thousands of dollars has been set, your correspondent was immediately impelled to the employment of all his inge- nuity and address to secure, first, his personal safety, and, secondly, the great objects of the Hrrarp Heraxy’s skilful addresses to Rhody Lowery had, however, happily broken the Ice betweea | himself and the outlaws, and the way was speedily prepared for an understanding which, however menacing to your representative, was at least incapable of misinterpretation. Gradually gaining the confidence of the outlaws, as be had already gained the confl- dence of Rhody Lowery by a prompt and frank statement of his mission, as the repre- sentative of the greatest Now York journal, your correspondent at once entered upon the objects of his enterprise. BO83 STRONG ONLY WOUNDED, NOT DEAD. The first result of his interview with An- drew Strong and Steve Lowery was the dis- covery of tho important fact that ‘‘Boss” Strong was not dead, as had been previously reporied, ‘Boss ain’t dead nohow,” was | the constantly reiterated statement of the outlaws, who, however, frankly confessed, and with apparent anxiety as to the re- sult of the wound received by their confederate, that ‘‘Boss was hurt powerful bad, thongh.” Having discussed the shoot- ing of Boss Strong, the Hrratp representa- tive next addressed himself to the endeavor to ascertain positive information as toj Henry Berry Lowery; concerning whom Wilmington has lately been rife with conflicting rumors. HENRY LOWERY GONE OFF FOR SIX WEEKS. Tho denial of the death of Henry Borry Lowery made by the outlaws to the Hzratp correspondent was quite as emphatic as was thelr denial of the death of Boss Strong. “Honry Berry Lowery ain’t dead by no means and he will be heard from soon enough,” was the reiterated statement of Steve Lowery and Audrew Strong. They stated, moreover, to the correspondent that the outlaw chieftain had ‘gone away to be gone six and that he had not yet been gone but four weeks.” These two lending points as to the fate of the leader of the gang and his most trusted lieutenants having been ascertained from the outlaws, they withdrew and held a conference, tho result of which was speedily made known to the representative of the Hzrarp, and left him in no doubt as to tho fearfully dramatic and perilous situation in which he was placed. THE FAROE OF MAKING HIM A PRISONER. He was told that having become cognizant of most vital facts pertaining to the status of the gang he must dismiss all expectation of leaving them until they had become satisfied of his purposes towards themselves, signifi- cantly reminding him of the fate of Saunders, the detective, and others who had obtained their confidence for the purpose of betraying them, I SWEAR! I SWEAR ALLEGIANCE! They proceeded to bind him to fidelity to themselves during his sojourn among them by the most terrible oaths, accompanied by equally terrible imprecations and menaces as to his fate should he prove false to his obli- gations, Then, while left in the enjoy- ment of nominal liberty in his personal movements, the HeraLp correspondent has been constantly menaced with death in such a form as makes even a bold man shudder at the very contemplation, constantly haunted by the terrible apparition of death in its most shocking forms, and aware that THE SLEEPLESS VIGILANOR OF HIS CAPTORS leaves no room to cherish the hope of escape, itis easy to conccive his hopeless situation until the purposes of his detention by the out- laws have been fully realized. He has been seen at several points by citizens of Robeson county, apparently free in all bis movements, but none the less subject to the scratiny of those whodold him in their merciless grasp, and who will not hesitate to wreak upon him a terrible vengeance, of which their previous murderous deeds give ample guarantee, in the event of any inadvertence which may pos- sibly give ground for suspicion of betrayal. To-day the Heraxp correspondent made HIS APPEARANCE AT LUMBERTON, and delivered the first instalment of his cor- respondence to the Hrratp from the domin- ions of the outlaws, which I have forwarded to the Huratp office by to-night’s mail, I have established reliable, though as yet not necessarily regular, means of communication with the representative of the Herat in the lair of the Lowerys, and your readers will be kept accurately and constantly advised of the details of his perilous mission to the swamp and fastness of the outlaws of Carolina, Is BOSS STONG DEAD? weeks lateresting Particulars as to His Supposed Shooting by McQueen—A Lumberton Paper Professos to Know All About Its {From the Lumberton (N, ©.) Robesontan.} We are gratified to be able to announce this week that another of the Lowery band of outlaws has probably been sentto that bourn from which no traveller ever returns. Boss Strong, one of te ) flercest devils of ine pack, Was shot, aud im all probe mission into the realm of the outlaws. The | determmed young man, who nad for some ume been watching the movements of the outlaws. THE MAN WHO Sor TH “Boss.” The circumstances, as detailed to us by Deputy Sherif McMullan, are as tollows:—On Thursday tifght of last week, about miunight, Mr. McQueen left Shoe Heel alone, provided with rations for a day or two and well armed with along range rifle and one or two good repeaters, and walked in the direction of Scufiietown, A short time before daylight he arrived in the netguborhood of the cabin of Andrew Strong, one of the outlaws, and, approaching within two hundred yards of the hut, he concealed utmself among the bushes, where he remained all day Fri- day. Late Friday evening he discovered the wo brothers, Boss and Andrew Strong, approach and enter thecabin, After the outlaws had taken their supper and everything became quiet MR, M’QUEEN STEALTHILY DREW NEAR AND CRAWLED Ur TO THE DOOR. A small opening at the bottom of the shutter—tech- nically termed i log cabin parlance a cat hole— enabled him to take a partial survey of the interior, The two outlaws were reclining upon their backs on the floor, while Andrew’s wife and mother were sit- ting smoking im the corner, Mr. McQueen listened for some time to the conversation that was passing between them, which was confined to the men, and which seemed to relate mainly to complatats of the Lowery members of the band, who, the Strongs thougbt, were not disposed to allow them a fatr share of the spoils taken by the band. JUST BEFORE DEATH. At length Boss drew from nis pocket a small harp, upon which he commenced playing a tune, and McQueen, taxing advantage of the sound of the music to drown any slight noise he might make in bringing his rife tato position, threw himself fat on the ground, and, placing the muzzle of tus gun at the small opening above descrived, took DELIBERATE AIM AT THE BARE HEAD OF BOSS STRONG, which Iay ata distance of about three feet from the door, and fired, The balt took effect, aud the out- Jaw shrugged bis shoulders once or twice, as If making teeble efforts to iit himgeif up, when he became perlectly quiet and lay motionless, appar- ently quite (ead, Immediately upon tho tirmg An- drew exclaimed, “DAR, BOSS, YCW'VE GONK AND KILLED YOURSEIT. T been a teliin’ you about betn’ s0 careless wid your gun,” And one of the women cried, “Lord-a- massa, dat harp done bust an’ killed Boss"? The true state of the case was, however, in a moment suspected, the “cat holo” was closed, and Andrew took refuge in a corner, Where it was tmpossipie to draw @ deal on him from the outside, LYING IN WAIT FoR ANDREW, Mr. McQueen now concealed himself behind tho chimney, where he remained for some time, hoping that Andrew would come out to discover the source of the fring. But the trembling outlaw bravely sent his wife out to reconnoltre, who soon returned and reported no discovery, Andrew, however, sttll kept his retreat in the corner, and finuing 1t impos- sibje to draw him out Mr. McQueen returned as fast ag he could to Shoe Heei to procure assistance. He conld find no one, however, who was willing to a¢- company him back to the scene of (lange, and was compelled to Watt lll Saturday morning before he could collect a force to return. VAIN EFFORTS TO RECOVER THE BODY—THs Wo- MEN'S STORIES, He succeeded, however, at length in mustering a few men, who arrived at the house of the outlaw about ten A, M., bu: only to find that the game had escaped. They found in the hut only two women, the wives of Andrew Strong and H. B. Lowery, who Were busy wasting the blood stalustronr the for, and stated that the dead pody of Boss Strong had been taken away an hour earlier by Stephea Lewery and Andrew Strong, but in what direction they did not know, as they had been compelled to turn thelr eyes in an opposite direction and threatened with death if they looked atter them until the bady had been Lorne quite out of sight. Deeming it useless to make any search for the body, the party returned to Shoe Heel, and though there seems to ve NO DOUNT THAT THE OUTLAW WAS KILLED, his body will probably never be recovered. The failure to secure the boay is peculiarly unfortunate, as the reward cannot be claimed until the body 1s “delivercd to the Sheriff of the county.” DISCOVERY OF STOLEN GOODS IN THR CANIN. Before leaving the house Mr. McQueen and bis party made a cursory search of the premises and found a portion of the goods taken from the store of Mr. A, H. McLeod, and als> one or two articles taken from tho Sherif’s ofice on tie occasion of the recent robbery in this town. THE WEATHER.

Edward Horsman, member for Liskeard, @ reformer in politics, acting in ac- cordance with his expressly recorded intention, asked, tor the second time, Her Majesty's govern- ment to “assure Parliament that in case fresh nego- tiations relative to the Alabama claims were entered upon with the American government, no proposals would be flually accepted until they had received the sanction of Parliament.” Mr, Gladstone, in reply to Mr, Horsman's aues- tion, said he informed the honorable gentleman last night that he had been unable to consult with his colleagues on the subject, He added that he was yet without the opportunity to do so, and con- Sequently was not able to give the assurance asked for. He would state, however, ‘that Parliament would be informed at all times of the spirit, aim, direction and policy of the government on all important questions, So far aa the Alabama clatms were concerned he believed the speech of Her Majesty at the opening of the session gave all the necessary information.’ Mr. Gladstone, in concluding, said tt would be impossible for the government to delegate to Par- lament the power of making treaties, Mr. Horsman, !n reply to the last portion of Mr- Gladstone’s remarks, cited the fact that the Ameri- can Senate had the power to ratify or reject any treaty which the government may negotiate, Mr. Gladstone repeated his assertion that “it would ! be impossible to allow Parliament the treaty-making power,” but at the same time stated that it was “the duty of the government to keep Parliament informed of any alteration in the governmental polley,”” SPAIN.

Under those circumstances the Minister proposed to the Chamber to renounce the sale of tities of Italian rente authorized by @ former law to an amount of 16,000,009 lire, and to replace that resource by an augmentation of ten per cent on the direct taxes.
