How They Protect the Guilaws by Catlawing Newspapor Correspondents, ers ee ‘TERROR AND SAFE BRAVADO. Piety and Preaching in Robeson. . Society of Both Colors and the -Lowery Gang. WinmManaTon, N, ©., Mareh 22, 1872, I have Ween an observer upon the various pheno- Mena of Nortn Uarolina life for some time, and I take a livoly interest 1a the prospects of the South- ern peopfe. Permit meto ray and to prove some things relative to the extraordinary interest you havo awakeaed }n the deeds of the Lowery gang of outlaws. The consternation created by that smatl body of Mliterate and condemned men of color has Rot been exaggerated. They are affecting our land interests, our labor and tho very security of society. The people of color, at frat verrided ny their deeds, have grown to loox upon then as the representa tive military leaders o: une blacks agaipst the Ku Klux. This position they do not want, for Henry Berry Lowery is anatura! skeptic aud disbellever in human nature, and if he had been allowed his way would have been an OMicer in tne Confeaerate army and distinguished thee. tle and several of his family hate what are called the “Yankees,” and jook upon the South as their native’ hoath. ‘The war they are makiug is 8 perfectly Bouthern war, such as Yeager and others waged. They have enougn false heroism to kill, not enough real heroism to dle, They are mur- derers; they love the life of the merry greenwood; time ana tide have accustomed them to the condis tion of outlawry. And they now DESIRE TO IDOLIZE THEIR CAREER by identifying It witn some mora pnrpose or polit! cal party. lneed not say to you that the Lowerys are dojng more injury to republicanism than Bour- bonism, They area heavy joad upon the natiovial party in this State. SOCIETY IN ROBRSON COUNTY. Robeson county, the laud of the ontlaws, is not a benighted county. Jt contains many able lawyers and solld farmers and traders, and has the “stock” to adorn civilization at some future day. but its people, of clear Scotch descent, do not possess the capacity to forgive anything or to start afresh, and they had not the philosophy to think that a negro’s crimes could be condoned, so they followed the Lowerys up and developed by persecution wie origi- bal villain in them tothe full Like Frankenstein, they fear and hate the demon they have created, but only hate the human pergon wno will show their agenoy in creating him. Hence, the impartial story of your first correspondent, classifying as equally reprehensible the erimes of the Lowerys and the crimes against their kin, was tfe first turn- ing of the mirror upon the whites. Before long they wili get used to this and apprehend that in the estimation of the world a white man killing an in- offensive black, debauchiag that black man’s family, terrifying the aged and depriving of their wages tho meek and industrious, are crimes as black as eve Lowery’s or Boss Stroug’s, and as mean da drew Strong’s or Tom Lowery’s. THE HERALD 1N WILMINGTON. In Wilmington city the HERALD has been the mir- le paper. Nobody could read enough, Our litle flalucs, busied only with future State politics, have never fully related the bloody anomaly in our midst, pnd ourlous as we bave been’ to read it, we have peen amazed at the every-sided perception of the writer aud the illuminating, unsparing light he has phed upon thie long succession of blcody crimes. Nobody can dispute the facts of the deaths of all tho persons he names, but our old slaveholding ele- ment had not estimated that the life of Make” Baaderson could ever be putin the scale against that of John Taylor; that Murdock McLain’s could be matched by Allan Lowery’s, or Brent Harris? murder be equally heinous with three mulatto obll- dren committed personally by him. ‘Eye for eye, @ Lie for u life)” ‘Truiy it seems 60!

At Lumberton, Robeson county, N. C., in the land of the Lowery’s, is published A WEEKLY POLITIOAL ORGAN, the only one in the region, called the Robesonian It is edited by a Baptist preacher named W. &. Mc- Diarmid, a raw-boned, semi-surly, mercenary type of the Christian editor of the South, who, like too many pseudo Christian editors of the North, 1s laboring for the loaves and fishes instead of seek- ing to pacify the bad passions of society and bring men of every clime into accord. I quote from tne last number of this paper (Maroh 21) to show the want of political and sociai sagacliy among tne whites in the land of the Lowerys, and their own estimate Of things down there.

Again, it Is reported inat Bose Strong, @ circumstantial sccount of Whose death we gave last week, Was no: killed at all, and bat slightly wounded. In regard to the Outlaws it seems We must adopt the old ruie—‘' Be- lieve nothing you hear and but haif you see.”” THE THIRD 18 THIS. The excitement in Scuffleiown produced by the many rumors and reports that have been i circuias on here for tie past ten or twelve days having in a measure subsided, the pudiic mind now accepts the folowing as probably the true state of wings in Seumetown:—Henry Berry Lowery was not drowned or killed by himseif or his brother, but hag quietly left the country, taking with nim tne largest share o! the proceeds of tie robnery of Mr, McLeod's sale. Boss Strong is not dead, but badly wounded, And as soon as he is able to travel the reat of the band will iollow their chief, Again, this paragraph, in the same paper with te other three:— ‘There 1s nruch uncertainty in regard to the actual state of things in Scufietown, and ali kinds of re- ports in regard to the outlaws have prevailed tor several days past. One ining, however, seems fully made out, aud may be accepted as true—Henry Berry Lowery 18 not now With the baad.

The remaininy members of the band stouily deny that joss Strong Is dead, and represent nim as only seni, wounded, Tuey are very reti- cent in regard .o Henry Berry and answer all quea- tions in regard lo him in @ vague and evasive manner. Now, no wonder that a paper as little aware of the doings sn iis Own county as the Hovesonian should say ae follows:— VON'T LIRR ENTERPRISES.

Mtthry’s inquiry into the local influence of mountains, of rain and wind, and the investigations of the progress of storms by Messrs. Buchad, Dove, Clement Ley, Loomis, Moon, Le Verrier, and espe- clally of the origin of depression systems—the great problem to. be solvedq—nave engaged my most ferious attention, Soon after the estabiishment of the Royal Dutch Metereological Institute 1 expressed a nope that fome meteorologists would assemple a Con- gress and aélibevate on the interests of meteorology, that they might draw up some rales to be followed in making onservations, in Airecting their calculations, and agree on the Jorm in which they should exhibit their tabies. Twenty years and more have elapsed since that Ume and a General Congress has not yet been held. From this tt appears that the late M. Krell, the in- telligent director of the meteorologica! observations in Austria, had good reason to aMx three notes of interrogation to my Feyuess. The atuiity of a Congress cannot be doubted, espe- cially if attention be previously drawn to ihe most urgent questions. _ FiKS! BRUSSELS CONFERENCE OF 1852. We may State this: simce even the hvtcorological Congress heid at brussels, In 1802, on tne Claims and interests of navigation and the gystematic arrange ment of observations at sea, Mag givon @ great 11+ pulse to the estavilstment of Meteorological lusu- utes in England and on the Coatinent oi Europe, yy Which navigation has veen shortened and hinw have been given to loresee dangers and lo escape them. The only reproach that can be made to this Congress 1s that too mauy observations were asked for, more than seamen were accustomed to, at unusual — hours, muke, and maay of which (f 1.) psychrometical observa- tions, and of the density of the sea water, cannot beexpected to be made with suficient accuracy. Now, this is Just Waut we should avoid, and ve careful not to restrain the liberty of the observer, Every one must consider the usage prevailing in ni own country and the extent of nis means; we should remember that one who is ordered to observe reguiations docs not effect half much as one who investigates ac- cording to his own judgment. Liberty should be respected everywhere; but especially in sclence should her spirit guide all our inquirles. Ry some very general indications they may be directed in such matiers, that the general utility be pro- moted by co-operation of all; only suca restrictions shouid pe made as are necessary to contrivut? to tie interests of sctcuce, to promote the common welfare, by coo. some rules and discussing them. By this means we may obtain a@ general method to be followed in making our obvervations and in publishing them. THE GREAT WISH OF SCIENCE. If we now ask what are the most extensive wishes of science, the idea which We long to see realized, Jt ig without aoubt this, that all observed phe- nomena everywuere, at all times, continually noted down, should be collected, discussed, worked out, Africa is untuhabited for the greater part; Fraace could give us the north coast, England lias done mucn on the south point, and along the Suez Canal some stations have arisen.

UNIFORM TIME FOR OBSERVATIONS, Agreat many diMculties may again arise about the place that Would appear to have a sort of pre- ference, being Indicated as that wherein the time or observation is regulated. It is the old question, if Rome ur Varthage shall impose her tre on the world.

THERMOMETRIC RRADINGS, The tunnel of Mont Cents affords an extraor- dinary opportunity for ascertaining temperatures in places separated by thick strata from the surtace. ‘The interest in these researciies is hereby more a@wakeaed, and we appreciate more fully what already has been done at some fundamental observa- tories situated on formations above others appro- priated to inquiries oF this sort.

PERSO..AL SKETCHES OF WASsuiNGTON, March 22, 1872, Among the first subjects that occupied the atten- won of President Grant arter his inauguration was the unpieagant position of Utah. General Jolin A, Rawlgs, a8 Secretary of War, Nad necesgatmly the subject thrust before him, as @ United States milt- tary post was establistied in the fmme-Tiate vicinity of Salt Lake City, and from that item of expendi- ture sprung Up the consideration between him and tue Presideut whether troops should be continued there, The reconstruction of the South and the immediate demand for troops elsewhere led to the Conclusion that the affairs of Utah should be inves- tigated, and the qnetion of the loyalty or disloyalty of the Mormons set at rest, If they were loyal the heavy expenses of keeping troops so far mland should be immediately brought to a close, and the ‘troops sent elsewhere to Le more servicsanle. Seeking the bracing alr of tne Rocky Meuntains, im hopes of reouperating his exhansted energiés, the Secretary visited the military posts west of the Missourl During that rice over the plains abd through the mountains General Rawlins saw the situation of the Mormons, comprehended the de- signs of their leaders, and on nis return here no change in thé location of the troops was. made and no dimluuon of tnéir numbers.
