THE LOWERY BAND.
AN UNPLEASANT SITUATION.
The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal of Sunday mentions the rumors that prevailed at that date in the neighborhood of Scuffletown, the lair of the Lowerys, concerning the fate of the "Herald correspondent" who went to interview the outlaws. It says that the wife of Henry Berry Lowery, the leader of the band, was seen on Saturday at Moss Neck depot, where she had come to give to the conductor of the passenger train a dispatch from the correspondent to be sent north from Wilmington. She states "that the correspondent was at Lowery's cabin near Moss Neck, on Friday evening about six o'clock, when Thomas Lowery, Stephen Lowery and Andrew Strong suddenly entered it and roughly told him to get up and go with them. He told them that he was ready, but first asked permission to send off a dispatch to his paper, which was accorded him; when he wrote the dispatch and gave it to the Lowery female, who fulfilled her promise to deliver it to the conductor of the train." The correspondent then accompanied the outlaws into recesses of the swamps of Scuffletown. The rumor of the correspondent's death—which was, however, generally discredited—was bruited subsequent to this event. It must be confessed that the predicament is somewhat serious for this adventurous correspondent—always supposing, of course, that there is in reality a correspondent in that locality to be thus dangerously situated.
