C., March 21, 1872. “Since my despatch of last evening startling intelligence has reached me of the poril by which your correspondent is now menaced. While the HERALD readers continue to follow the excit- fog narrative of this hazardous undertaking—a journalistic feat unparalleled, so far as Tam ware, on this continent—which has pene- trated the swamp home of the most desperate of murderers that ever disgraced civili- gation, while the State government of North Carolina looks on irresolute and Himidly waiting for some favorable op- portualty to strike a blow for the ponibilation of the outlaws, and the federal uthorities unable to decide whether or not to leclare martial law pro tem. and thus perform duty now absolutely devolving on the in- habitants of the region, the gentleman en- trusted with the mission to sce the Lowerys ‘pemains a captive. ROBESON OOUNTY WISEAORES AND THE MERALD. As previously set forth in this correspond- ‘ence, the suspicious and terror-siricken citi- gens of Robeson county, unable to rid them- selves of the presence of the gang, smarting ander the tyranny and cruel taxation of these /**Sons of Thunder,” impotent to declare war against the destroyers of their peace, the gavishers of their daughters and plunderers of heir homesteads, have turned fiercely against fhe correspondent whose only desire is to give to the world through the great representative journal of the country the disgraceful story of crime and ouilawry prevailing in their midst, If anything can tend to arouse the govern- ment to a due sense of the burning shame to be created by any longer tolerating the domination of these outlaws it isthe enter- prise of the Heraxp, which has already s0 wividly and truthfully portrayed the scenes of murder and robbery in Robeson county, Sur- rounded by so many evils, and scourged as the people in Lumberton, Scuffletown and other places have been for years past, it is incon- ceivable how these infested districts can pre- $end to side with the Lowerys and resent the purpose of your journal, which aims to arouse the pride of the people to an effort in behalf of humanity and civilization, BANDS OF MEN ORGANIZING, But tho labor of the Heratp has already been productive of great good, and the call made has been responded to by organiza- tions in different sections of the State by men who are determined to no longer sub- mit to the criticisms so profusely showered upon them. I also learn that the general government is gravely considering the quo modo of ridding Carolina of these pests of woolety, although no decided action has so far been taken, or, if taken, not made public lor carried into effect, THE CORRESPONDENT DECLARED AN OUTLAW. ; It seems now that a darker feature is to be gdded to the Lowery narrative and the un- ‘Buecessful attempts hitherto made to subdue them, and it will, I doubt not, appear incredi- ble to the people of your northern clime, that the correspondent whose life has been cour- ‘ageously risked in the discharge of his part of the mission is now in greater dan- ger from the colored people of Robeson Sounty thon from the outlaws whose crimes of bloodshed, rapinc and wrong he seeks to expose to the country. From the following extract from to-day’s Robesonian, & newspaper published at Lumberton, the county seat of Robeson county, your readers willbe made acquainted with the truth that the Hrratn correspondent has been declared Qn outlaw by the authorities of Robeson county, It will be seen from this extract that NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1872.-TRIPLE SHEET, te animas of the people of Robeson is so | to the teeth, further discussion appearod to | BRITISH UNIVERSITIES’ BOAT BACE. intensified that they purpose persecution of | take place, and finally Andrew Strong all who seek to make known to the world the | shouldered his Spencer rifle, led the way shameful state of affairs prevailing in their regions: — ARREST ALL REPORTERS AND DETECTIVES, For several days past a reporter tor the New York HEkALD has been sojourning in ScumMetown, and has been seen On two or three occasions stroll- ing about in company with the outlaws, We under- stand he claims to have been captured by them and detained as their prisoner, but the fact that he is armed in the same manuer as the outlaws themselves and seems to enjoy his confinement has awakened suspicion that he 1s a willing captive, and that he may some day be- | come an active member of the band, This thing of ewspapers is getting to be an tntolerable nuisance, | @nd we Would suggest to the county autnorities the propriety of putting a stop to it. Let every stran- ger who goes to ScuMetown and companions with the outiswa be arrested and a thorough examina- tion had as to the character of tis mission, We have suffered enough already from these so-callea Teporters, detectives, e/ hoc genus omne, and it la high time the'r pranks were stopped. HOT SHOT FOR THE KU KLUX SUPPORTERS, Who but these same detectives and reporters have given the outlaws the idea that so long as their depredations are confined to democrats or so-called Ku Klux they wilt be protected, or, at least, toler- ated by the government? Who but these same re- porters and detectives have united the almost unanimous sentiment of the colored people in sympathy with the outlaws as the avengers of the wrongs of the negro race? It is ® notable fact that tne visits of these interlopers have always been followed by renewed activity and boldness on the part of the band, who seem to derive new inspiration from every such visit, These men are our enemies—the unscrupu- lous emissaries of @ malignant hate— and are even more to be dreaded than the outlaws themselves, But for the support and encouragemen: received from abroad—from the federal government espe- ctally—from these vile emissaries trom the North, this band would have been broken up long ago. THE MURDERERS SUPPORTRD BY GOVERNMENTS. If these reporters, who profess so much astonisnment at the failure of the people of the county to arrest these men, would teil their readers that they are supported in their lawlessnes3 both by the State ond federal government much of the surprise awakened by these professions of astonishment would be done away with, and instead of pronouncing the people of Robeson a county of cowards they would stigmatize the government that supports and encourages such fiendish lawlessness, such wholesale robbery and murder as would be dis- graceful to the most barbarous nation on the face of the globe. Since writing the above we learn that the self- styled reporter for the HERALD has been outlawed by a board of magistrates, and a posse is now in Pursuit of him. That's the way to doit, Let every beneath the gloomy shades of the pine forest and into those districts now accursed by the VIOLENT SHEDDING OF HYMAN BLOOD and Indescribable tortures, sacred only to the bloodthirsty fiends in the form of men Who have violated every law and desecrated the image of Him they claim to represent. Plac- ing himself between the two bandits the cor- respondent marched off, unable to move either to the right or left without fear of violence or assassination. Should he not be injured by the outlaws he stated that he would again visit Lumberton for the purpose of allowing the authorities of Robeson to execute their silly and vaporing menaces, if he shall suc- ceed in persuading the outlaws to trust him again away from their immediate presence. It is not yet definitely ascertained how serious and of what character are THE SUSPICIONS OF THE OUTLAWS as to the purpose of the Herarp representa- tive {a visiting Lumberton the first time since bis capture. As the train passed through the Scuffletown section to-day nothing was seen of any of the outlaws or of the Hxratp {corre- spondent, In consequence of the absence of intelligence, speculation is active here and along the line of the road as to the probable fate of the Heraxrp representative. Until I can obtain positive information from your correspondent, I shall content myself with encouraging the Hratp readers to believe him still uninjured. A PRISONER OONDITIONALLY. The period of his detention is dependent upon circumstances, the duration of which cannot be definitely predicted. Your corre- spondent was told by the outlaws when first detained that he would have to remain with ; them until Donohoe, alias McQueen, who claims to have shot Boss Strong, shall be killed. Donohoe was on the train yester- day, when the HrRALp correspondent came to Lumbertou, and the outlaws could then strolling Yankee that comes here to ald and abet these fiends in their work of plunder and blood be held toa strict accountability before the law aa accessories to their crimes, WHAT THAT BOARD OF MAGISTRATES WOULD DO. It is impossible to conceive anything mora foolish, more utterly silly and unjustifiable, than is this action of the Robeson authorities against the representative of the Heratp. It can hardly be duubted that they will seri- ously injure their own cause and that of the whole South by this stupid and pusillanimous venting of impotent rage. The correspondent went to Robeson county avowedly to interview the outlaws in the interest of the people, He | proclaimed his purpose in Wilmington, on the cars and wherever it was appropriate to allude to his enterprise. with the outlaws, and he had no motivo other than seeing them in going to Robeson county, Naturally he has kept aloof from the white people while in the power and under the espionage of the outlaws, as any association with the whites would immediately awaken suspicion in the minds of his captors, and place his life in jeopardy. WHY DIDN'T THEY ARREST HIM? The Henan correspondent, bearing of the purpose to outlaw him, obtained permission from them to go to Lumberton and test the purpose of the authorities. Boldly presenting himself in the town, be went direct to the municipal headquarters; but, strange to say, the lion-hearted police refused to take him and he was permitted to return by the way that he came to bis captors, who awaited his return at Moss Neck, THE TEMPORARY PAROLE. The conductor of to-day’s train informed me that be was an eye witness to a part of this busi- ness this morning. He said that he first emerged from the woods of pine out into the open space before the station in company with Andrew Strong and Steve Lowery, the two of the gang under whose surveillance he appears to have been placed. After a short conference and considerable gesticulating on the part of the outlaws, indicative of caution or warning, the correspondent walked into Lumberton, and, as already stated, tested the power of the authorities to arrest him, In about half an hour he returned again, but it was plainly perceptible that he was extremely uneasy, and he exhibited considerable trepidation os to his fate when he should have joined his captors. He has evidently been made fully aware of the TERRIBLE CHARACTER OF THESE MEN, and doubtiesg has also been frightened to some extent by their recitations to him, daring the time he has been in their company, of the fate of Saunders and many others whom ac- cident or business placed within their reach, According to this conductor, whom I hav found to be a candid, sensible individual, he feared lest the outlaws should suspect him of His business was have killed him, but for the agreement between them and the railroad authorities, which prohibits the latter from allowiog armed passsengers in pursuit of the outlaws upon their trains, and prokibits the outlaws from visiting the trains with hostile purpose towards any passengers. Inasmuch as the killing of Donohoe fs necessarily a very uncertain event as to time, even should he be killed at all, it is impossible to form any idea as to the date of the release of the correspondent. AVENGING A BROTHER'S BLOOD. Andrew Strong insists upon his right as a brother to avenge the shooting of Boss Strong. Nothing can exceed the bitterness of the de- nunciation of Donohoe by the outlaws, and their menaces against him clearly indicate their ter- rible purpose of vengeance. ‘‘Donohoe will live a powerful short time,” was the grim remark of Steve Lowery to the Heeatp correspondent. Andrew Strong, when he had become fully assured as to the Hxratp mission and when his vanity had been sufficiently appealed to by the dextrous approaches of the correspondent, emphatically asserted his brother's right as the chief agent of vengeance upon Donahoe, “LAYING FOR” THE DONOHUE. Said Andrew Strong, ‘I will lay for Dono. hue, and I ain’t going to shoot him through no cathole neither.” Until this threat of Andrew Strong against Donohue has be- come an accomplished fact, the chances of your correspondent’s release from the bond- age into which he unexpectedly entered in pursuance of his part of the mission among the Lowerys are very small indeed, In considering the possible dan- ger of the situation the fact is not to be overlooked that, prompted by a prejudice which is cowardly anda suspicion which is contemptible to sensible men, some of the STREET CORNER HEROES OF LUMBERTON, who have manifested such extraordinary generalship in avoiding encounters with the Lowerys, may seek exhibition of their prowess by shooting him under cover whenever he shall appear after his release by the gang. To shoot a HrraLtp man would be quite a feather in the plume of the notoriety-seeking lounger here, and it is to be remembered that a color of pretext 1s given for such a dastardly act by the pronunciamento against the correspondent by the Robeson county authorities, CONTEMPLATED ASSASSINATION, It is to be hoped in the interests of Ameri- can manhood and Anglo-Saxon civilization that the assassination of the HEratp corres- pondent will not be attempted, since, should it occur, no outrage more wanton and no murder more cowardly and atrocious could ever stain the annals of this civilized Commonwealth, In Wilmington, a community which embodies its fall share of the best intelligence and real conservatism of the South, the attempted out- lawry of the Heraxp representative is unani- foul play and mete out to him the only degree | mously condemned and execrated as an exhi- of punishment recognized by these lords of | bition of petty spite and impotent venom, the swamp—death, ‘I am aware,” said he, | THE OBTEF OF THE DETECTIVES ATTACKED “that the Heeatp officer is understood by all the sensible people I meet to be desirous of BY ROWDiES AT HARRY HILL's. Yesterday a sparring exibition was tendered to Bill Cannon, & Brooklyn pugilist, at Harry Hill's, 26 leaving no feature of the dark and bloody | Houston street, After several sparring displays by history of the Lowery gang unrevealed, an whenever the full details are written the world will stand aghast; but should they sus- pect this testing authority to be a blind to betray them, his life is not worth @ moment's purchase, After meeting again with the out- laws at Moss Neck, who, a3 usual. were armed q | Coburn, Saunaers, McGinnis, Taylor, Dwyer, Dogherty, Hogan and Cannon, a rough named Hughes struck James Irving, Chief of the Detectives, and was promptly knocked down by that officer. Great excitement prevailed, and there were cries of “murder,” “po- hice,” &e, Revoivers and knives were drawn, and a number of the thugs attacked Mr, Irving. He fought like a Trojan in defending himself, and was assisted by Harry Hill and Jolmny Mevarthy, by whose efforts the row Was suppressed, But for the presence of mind shown by Irving, tn all probability several persons WOUIT have been thiureds Rumor of a “Draw” by the Oxfords and the Maich Said To Be «Of.” The Latest Betting in Favor of Cambridge.

A great amount of excitement prevailed in the city during the afternoon and is main- tained at the moment when this despatch is forwarded to the Heratp—five o'clock P.

Salter, boat builders, were en- trusted with the bu'lding of a new craft for the ‘dark blue” oarsmen, while Cambridge, the victors of last year and the year before, again patronized Clasper. THE TRAINING, At one of the latest training efforts of the Cambridge men they had comparatively smooth weather during a run to Ditton, and there was a large number of spectators to wit- ness the practice. The only change in the con- stitution of the crew at that time was that Close, Sr., took the stroke oar, instead of Baggallay, of Caius. The President, Mr. Goldie, steered down to the railway bridge, whence, in com- pany with Mr. Lowe, of Christ's, he coached down to Baitsbite, In returning Mr. Goldie took the fourth oar, deputing Spencer to coach up fo the railway bridge. The Oxfords kept in training on the Isis, The river continued very much swollen of late days an immense body of water having come down during a portion of the time. The President had his crew out for practice note withstanding, Mr. Awdry at one time occupying Mr. Armistead’s place (No. 2), that gentleman suffering from a very severe cold, and Mr. Giles returned to No. 3 in place of Mr. Farrer. The crew rowed over the short course to Iffley and back, being coached from horseback by the treasurer, Mr. Banks. A very decided improvement was evident both in their time and swing at the very latest days of their practice. The Latest Report. Lonvoy, March 21—Evening.
