ANOTHER BR1GADIER GENERAL-John Sedg- wick. of Cornwall in this County, Colonel of the First United States Cavalry, has been appointed Brigadier- General.
 LoyA1rY OF NORTH CARoLINA.-Respectab gentlemen who arrived from North Carolina by 2 c;rcuitous route, say the Union prospects in that State are of the most encouraging charac- ter The acting Governor is a reliable Union man. Secret leagues of loyalty exist in every county, which are rapidly increasing in strength, and already number one half the voting popu- lation. A provisional state of government will be put into operation in few months. Two full brigades of loyal men have been enrolled. The leagues had made extended arrangements for electing member of Congress from every district. Four were known to have been elected on the 2lst of August.
 The latest news is that the entire eight were elected, each having received large vote. They are among the best men in the State, and who will insist upon a vigorous prosecution of the war. Their certificates of election will bear the signature of the Governor, and the broad seal of the state.
 Since the engagement at Hatteras Inlet the North Carolina troops have been withdrawn from Virginia. Many of them are dissatisfied with the war, and those who entered the service for a short term refuse to continue in the confederate employment.
 The Southern report of .he capture of the two rebel forts at Hattcras Inet differs materially from the official account rend tered to the Govern ment by General Butler. Here are the figures ss given in each report of the number of men engaged, and the amount of ammunition iu the fffApt thaU for

"But there is still degree ofcold beyond

when there is a strong wind blowing from

degrees below zero. The sensation with
which you endure, can only characterize

not OILY feel the cold, but you actually see
it. The air is hazy with the frozen moist
ure. The sky is like a vault of solid steel,
so hard and pale does it appear. And the
wind is like blast out ofthat fabulous fro
zen hill of the Scandiuayians. The touch
cf it on the face is like cutting with an OK
ceedipgly dull and jagged knife. 1 endur-

CASTING MONSTER GUN.-Another
monster gun has been cast in the Fort Pitt
works, Pittsburg Pa, last week The
"Floyd," the heaviest piece of ordnance, we
believe, that the world has ever seen was
fifteen-inch bore, and forty-niue inches di-
ameter at the breach. Its weight, in the
rough, was $4,000 pounds, and, when fin
ished, about 10000. The gun cast has a
tweve-inch bore, and the same exterior d.
ameter of the "Floyd," while it is six inches
longer, and will weigh, when finished, twen-
ty-fve tons. The furnaces were tapped at
quarter past twelve, and twenty-four miu-
utes later the mold was filed, and the cast
ing complete. The total amount of metal
used in the "run" was 7s,lO0 pounds
The new gun will be named !"Union," and
will, it is believed, throw ball over six
miles. 1t was cast on tho hollow principle
and under the supervision of Mr.. Kaye, fore
man of the works.

JAMES B-ucHANAN, may his tribe decrease
Awoko one night from a strange dream Of peace,
Aud saw within the curtains Of his bed
Making his tother eye to squint with dread
Old Jackson writing in book Of gold;
Exceeding Rye had made Buchanan bold,
And to the stern ex-President he said
"Wha-what writ'st thoui" The spirit shook his head,
The while he answered, with the voice Of old:
The name Of those who ne'cr their country sold I"
"And is mine onel" asks J. b. "Naryl" cried
The General, with frown. Buchanan sighed.
And groaned and turned himself upon his bed
And took another "nip" OF "rye," then said;
"Well, ere thou lay the record on the shelf
Write me at heart, as one who sold himself"
"Democs" and "Ryo" so long my spirits we're,
That when the "Crisis" camel wasn't there
The General wrote, then vanished; the next night
He came again, in more appalling plight
And showed those that all ''true men" detost
And lol Buchanan's name led all the restl

aCLviI war will 30 AboIitIon.,,

So says the Raleigh Standard-a paper
which has done good service in fighting the
disunionists. The Standard assumes, as
the basis Of its argument, that il the diff
cullies between the North and the South
should not be settled within the next six
months, war will be the result; that three or
four confederaces will be formed; and that
at will be impossible for the Northwestern
and Gulf States to avoid war--the navigd-
ton Of the Mississippi sOiU lead to it"--
After this prophecy of a conflict, tho fatal
consequences to slavery are pictured as
follows:
f war once breaks out It will rage in the interior on
seaeoasts the high and fontierh One
section will let loose the Indians another section.
Twenty millions OF people will at once become our enc
mics. They will upon along line ofthree thous-
and miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific One section
will call in foreign troops against another section One
confedeancy will humble itself before the powers Of Eu-
rope get better commercial terms than the other
federacies Meanwhile will rage Negro property
will to be valuable because the products Of slave
labor and all other labor will be in great degree cut on
from the markets of the world. The negroes will know,
They will become restless and turbulent Heavy taxes
will result from these These taxes must be paid
mainly out Of slave labor Strong governments will be
established and viii bear heavily on the masses. The
will at length rise up and destroy everything in
their State bonds will be repudiated. Banks will
break. Widows and orphans will be reduced to beggary

The whole world outside the slavehoding States-wth
slight excepons-is opposed TO slavery and the whole
world with slave labor thus rendered insecure CONF
paravey valueleFs H take sides h the NORTH against
US. The end will be-AbOhton"
These arc probably unpalatable truths
for the South to hear, but the Standard tells
its story boldly.
