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.

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

Tlic war he baa waged for the past nine years,
within n region of twelve or fifteen miles

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

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

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

Story of a Handkerchief.
Among the many transient guests that
crowded one or the popular hotels of the
Crescent City daring the past fall, war*
two ladie* who attracted universal attention.
One waa elderly, and evidently an aunt or
other near relative of the other, a fair trail
girl with curling brown hair, and dark tad
gray eyes.
One evening. 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. Take care, my dear I
you will drop your handkerchief into tho
street. What did you quarrel about in tho
first place?"
Tho young girl picked up her haudker-
chief from the lloor, and folding it into a liny
soft pillow, placed it again under her cheek

‘It began about just nothing at ail, or
something equally foolish—a mistake. He
called one day when I was out, nnd when I
came in ahortly afterwards. I found him
lying on the sofa, and when I ran up to kUs
him, his breath was strong with tbe smell of
brandy. 1 thought, of course, that he had
been drinking liquor, and was already two

ms BLOOD AND ISCLIKATtOXa.
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. Sheriff
MacMillan described himsejf and posse once
lying ont all night in the swamp and tjenter
around Lowery's cabin to wait for him to
come forth at daylight. “And,” said he,
“that banjo was Just everlasting thrumming,
and we could hear the laughter and Juba-
beating nearly the whole night long.”
Tire MULATTO SABDAXAPALCS.
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. The mditrer-
ence of the Indian to the loan of hb squaws
finds sorao parallel in Lowry’s tactics. He
himself in the Don Juan of Scu'Betown, tat
fae sleeps on hb arms and will go into the
swamps for weeks without repining. Wo
