Inost difficult movements for concerted

The manual, the light infantry drill
mnmanded unusual applause. The

regular ramming, and breaking of the
burtridgs with the hands, the return

Arrest of u Negro Stealer—An
Organised baud at Work.
Lost Thursday a man named Frank
lin Luster, altar John E. Lester, arrived
at Charleston by the Waynesboro' ar.d
South Carolina Railroad, bringing with
him a likely negro. On the following
day he took the negro to Messrs. Wilbur
& Sons, and offered to sell him to Mr.
H. L. Jeffers. The demeanorof Lester
was such as to exoite the suspicions of
Mr. 'Jeffers, and the negro, on being
closely questioned, admitted that he
had been stolen. Hereupon, Mr. Jef-
feis secured the services of the police,
and Lester was arrested. During his
examination before Captian Bass, he
protested stoutly that the negro was his
own, and came from Rabun county,
Georgia; while the negro on the other
hand! declared that he belonged to
Col, Willis Young, of Station No. 5,
Central Railroad. What gave color to
the slave’s narrative was, that he ap-
>eared quite familiar with the latter
ocality, while with the former he was
utterly unacquainted. Lester produced
a bill of sale for the negro, dated 1858,
but on investigation it appeared con
clusively from the freshness of tiie ink,
etc., that this was a forgery.
Capt. Bass then telegraphed to the
Chief of Police at Savannah and while
awaiting an answer, Mr. Hamilton, a
son-in-law of Col. Young, arrived in
Charleston and immediately identified
the negro.
Lester was commuted to jail to await
requisition from the Governor of
Georgia. He has since confessed that
there is a regularly organized hand of
these negro thieves encamped *in the
O^eechee river swamp. Whenever they
kidnap a slave, they send some member
of their gang out ’.o soli him, as in tiie
present instance. Among others in
the band, lie named Griggs, (who, ho
says, came to Charleston with him,)
Wynn, two brothers, Jim and Tom
Price, Aaron Robinson, and others.—
These are all young men, and, accord
ing to Lester’s statement, iiuve now a
large body of negroes at .Savannah
waiting for shipment.—Charleston Mer
