INUMBER 50 IIEMBY BEBBY LOWERY. Letter to tbe Yew York Ilcndd. Henry Berry Lowery, the leaderof the most formidable band of outlaws, considering the smallness of its numbers, that known in this country, is of mixed Toscaxo- ra, mulatto and white blood, twenty-six years of age, five feet ten inches high, and weighing about one hundred and fifty pounds. He hat straight Mack hair, like an Indian, a dark goatee and a beard graceful iu shape, but too thin to look very Mack. Hi* face slopes from tbe cheek bone* to the tip of bis goatee, so as to give bim tbe Southern Amer ican contour of physiogomy; but it is lighted with eyes of a different color—eyes of a grayish hazel—at times appearing a light blue, with a drop of brow* m them, but in OOB NEWYOKKLEriEit. Berry Lowery’s wife you can find her in the points between which the whole band of out- figit&tion diluting, lever qui'c losing the appearance o<amsUt, rat in action it is a smile of devilish nature, liis forehead it good and his face and ex- ssataasassi bis mixed race, want of education and long career of liwlnsoos. A scar of creacnl shape and black color lies in tbe skin below bis left eye, said to have been nude by an iron pot falling upon bim when a child. His voice is sweet and pleasant, and in hia manner there is nothing seif-important or swaggering. He is not talkative; listens quietly, and searchesout whoever is speaking to bim like a man illit erate in all books save the great books of nature, snd human nature above alL The color of his sain is of a whitish yellow sort, with an admixture of copper—such a skin ns, for tbe nature of its components, is in color indescribable, there being no negro blood in it except of a far remote generation of mulatto, and the Indian still apparent. It is enough tossy of that skin that it seems to suffer change by heat or cold, exposure or sickness, good housing or wild weather. Tbe very relatives of white men killed by Henry Ik rry f-owery admitted to me that “he is one of tbe handsomest mulattoes you ever saw.” LOWEST I IITSICAI.LT. To match this face tbe outlaw’s body is of mixed strength and beauty. It is well knit, wiry, straight in the shoulders and limbs, without a physical flaw in it, and as one said to me who had known him well since child hood, “He is like a trap ball, elastic all over.” He has feet which would be noticeable any where, pointed and with arching instep, so that he can wear a very shapely boot, and his extremities, like his features, indicate nothing of tbe negro. A good (chest, long bones, su- pieness, proportion, make his walk and form pleasing to see. He is negligent about his dress, bat bis clothes become bim and never disparage him. People have told me that he wore fine clothes; tat, when questioned to tbe point of re-examination, admitted that be had nothing on but a woolen blouse and trousers and a black wide-brimmed, stiff ■„ woolen hat. - * * UlgSABS.... To see this trim laws frequently ride on tbe freight trains— and at the latter notable station I saw her de scend with her baby and walk off down the road in tbe woods and stop there among the tail pitch-pines, as if waiting for somebody. The baby—the last heir of outlawry - —began to cry as she left the train, and she mother- fashion : “No, no, no, I wouldn’t cry, when I had been so good all day I” This woman is the sister of two of tbe five remaining out laws, and wife of the third. The whites call her, satirically, “the queen of Scufiletowntat she appeared to be a meek, pretty-eyed, rather shrinking girl, of a very light color, poorly dressed. She wore many small brass rings, with cheap red stones in them, on her small hand, and a ■ dress of muslin delaine, . bet new black morocco “store" shoe*. A yellowish mafia ee enlieo hood, with a long cape, covered her bead, and there was nothing besides, that I re member, except a shawl of bright colors, ranch worn. It was sad enough and prosaic enough to aee this small woman with her Tbe luVowing from the New York Finan- •-ial CliraaMe tells the troth very pointedly: We are informed by our correspondents in every portion of the cotton-growing States that preparations for the next crop are being made on a very enlarged scale, and we fear unless this disposition to expand receives some check tbe South will find that the coming year’s work has retailed In their growing iwiorer instead of richer. Of course, it is not ifeairaMe, and in fact it would be a very short sighted policy to keep tbe supply of Ameri can cotton short; but at the tame time, is it not worth while for the planter, who is giving up everything to cotton, consider wliat sacrifices he is willing to ac cept for the purpose of furnishing the world more than it can consume. First. It is well to remember that provisions have been cheaper tbia year than they are likely to be another twelve months Prices for pork and corn have ruled extremely low. This has lai n very favorable for the South, and has enabled the planter to raise the present crop at a much smaller cost than any crop since the war. Highest prices to be paid for tap plies is a point worth considering. Second. From every side we learn that there is to be • lavish use of fertilisers—judiciously used „■ a limited planting would most likely rooUina gain; tat from tbe evidence re- ceiveu we fear that on this point the expe rience 1370 is to be repeated, result, ing in a further increase in the expense ac count. Tbi. >*• Then again, with a veiy large crop, the cost Af tbe labor to work it will be increased. Con .’races are at present, we un derstand, being ufade with the freedmen at about last year’* rs.’es; tat when the busy season come* and extra help i* called in, there will lie increased competition, and con- scquenlly increased to be paid. Here, theo, are three causes operating to enhance the cost of the present crop to the planter. Fourth. On the other hand, suppose a five million crop is received, what can wr reason ably expect the price will be 7 Plantar!, we know, are, many of them, deceived by the high quotations now ruling, and believe that this year is, in that respect, to repeat itself. Tne troth, however, is that consumption can not in one year be very largely increased; the spindles most be made before they can be ran. With a good season, then, for growing, and -with a supply from America considerably in .excess of any possible consumption, and with «oiher countries, too, growing all they can, as wee have every reason to believe they will, it cannot be a very difficult problem to deter mine what the average price will be. And with a very poor price for cotton and all the wheat and corn snd provisions to bay, in what condition is another winter likely leave the planter? Is there not enough these suggestions to lead the planter to see the folly of giving np all his land to cotton? Would it not be wiser to raise all the food you want, and after that raise all the cotton you can economically. fwrest by-path,or aasfttaal the railway sta tions of Moss Nock,Xoreka,Bole’s Btore *r Red B-inks, is to • see-yoog Mara bearing about an arsenal.

In addition to these forty or forty-eight chargee, Lowery carries a long-hladed knife and a large flask of whisky—tho latter be- eanse he fears to he poisoned by promiscu ous neighborhood drinking. He can run like a deer, swim, stands,weeka of exposure in tlic swamps ami forest, walk day and ni 11 and take aleep by little snatches, which; j ■ few days, would tire out while or negro I Although a tippler, he was never known to he drunk—a fact not to be justly asserted of Ibis confederates. Brought suddenly at liny, he is observed to wear that light, fiendish, en joyable smile, which shows a nature at its depths savage, predatory and fond of blood. Tlic war he baa waged for the past nine years, within n region of twelve or fifteen miles square, against connly, State, Confederate, and United States authorities, alternately or nnitedly, is justification for the terror appa rent in the faces of all the white people with in those limits.

Rliody Lowery is said not to be a constant Wife, tat to follow tbe current example of Scufiletown. Other persona, the negroes notably, deny this. A more persevering newspaper correspondent might settle the issue. The Democratic Party. Hon. B. n. Hill nut long since made* speech to tbe Georgia people which is attract ing a good deal - of attention at tbe South. Southern Democratic papers publish it, and Southern Radical journals, or at least some of them, express surprise thereat We have read the speech, and cannot, for theiifeof us, see what they are surprised at. Indeed, we susp ct that this surprise, like a good many other things belonging to the party, is a sham. Mr. Hill's speech was n very good one, con taining, in addition to his political experi ences, many excellent suggestions to the Geor gia people, and, what is of more interest to people generally, he enunciated some very salutary views on the national situation. We publish elsewhere in this issue some interest ing extracts from it. We have no quarrel with Mr. Hill because of his love for the old Whig party, nor on ac count of his virtual admission that if be could restore that party to power in the nation his heart would be filled with gladness; neither are wo disposed to fall out with him for inti mating that if another and better party than tbe Democratic party were to be formed he would go with it. It is sufficient for us that he is at preseat in lull affiliation with the Democracy; that he declared that “there ‘ ’ Sfty in the country -with -which i men can affiliate exoept the tic party,” and that be an nounced it as bis purpose “to make tlic intuit offered by the dominint party to MB white race of the Booth so ineffaceable flat It will descend to oar children fur gen erations to oome." Mr. Hill might have given bis remarks a wider scope. He might have said that go friend of constitutional govern ment, Wiether at the N rtrth or Booth, can af- filiateyfCUiMtoMiaMt Mtor.tatit mntt be : was speaking for Georgia and From the general tone of his speech, as well as from many expressions in it, it is clear that one of his strongest objec tions to the dominant party is iu antagonism to nationality of feeling and interest. While we are steadfastly and unswervingly Democratic in our principles, we can not but recognize the fact that a great many of the moat efficient and faithful members of the Democratic party are men that were once It Fo or years preceding the dis ruption of the Whig party there was no prac tical difference between Whigs and Demo crats. On all great practical questions they were agreed so far as party tenets were con cerned. The traditional policy of each was dear to its members; and it is surely not to be wondered at that even yet there is in the heart of old-time Whigs a chord that vibrates to the old touch. That waa .an e^jl’day wbswtbe two parties could no longer go oin competing with each other for popular favor, because of the springing up of a new organization with new issues. Many Whigs then found them selves under the necessity of taking position for the preservation of constitutional liberty beneath the banner against which they had —TWO People Wo Urn—I’rn-I’or- trwlts of an n, C.—Buffalo Bill —A Xljretezlraa Stranger—Stewart’s Opening.

Just before nightfall, they were sitting together on the wide verandah, conversing In low tones, on a subject of great interest to the younger one at least, who was leaning her cheek against the iron railing, with her handkerchief folded be tween. “How long has it been since you and Mel ville Graham had your Ulte quarrel,” asked the elder lady. “It was not a little qnanel Aunty, bnt on* big enough to continue all our livea, judging by his actions.” “How long since yon saw him?” interro gated Lite other. “Two years,” was the brief res pease. “Two years I Why the man is a cold- hearted flirt, and yon are un idiot to care any thing for him now.

Tbe three natures of white, Indian and negro are, however, seen at intervals to come toward in this outlaw's nature. The negro trace is in hb love for rode music. He b a banjo player, and when the periodical hunt for him is done, he repairs to some one of the hub in scufli. town and plays to tbe dancing of the mulatto girls and hb companions by the hour, bb belt of arms unslung and thrown at hb feet, tbe peaceable part of the audience taking part wilh mixed wonder, delight, and apprehension. Several times hb banjo has nearly betrayed him fa> pursuers.

The licentiousness of Lowery b sufficient to be noticeable, bnt while it never engages him to the exclusion of vigilance and activ ity it also shows what may be traced is some degree to hb Indian natnre—the using of women as an auxiliary to war and plunder. He bas debauched a number of hb prisoners with the mulatto girb of Scufiletow n, and the charms of these yellow-tinted syrens broke up the morale of the late campaign in force against tho outlaws, while, as some allege, the discovery of the Detective Landers’ plan to capture Lowery waa nude by a girl in Lowery’s interest with whops Landers spent ha time. Lowery has said .and langfasd oyer it. that he devised, at a critical pointina trace be tween the contending parties, that a bevy of the prettiest and frailest bcantics in Scuffle- town should come up and be introduced to one of the officers high in command After that the Marc Antony in question laid down hb sword and gave practice: evidence that the hostility of the races b not so great as the slavery statesmen alleged.
