There Is rutiior in town that one Of the
uptrains on the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad, containing troops for Virginia, in
crossing a bridge near Wilson, produced
such an effect. that the engineer and pas
sengers were induced to make an exam;pa.
ton, when It was discovered that some
co!d'blooded sceundrel had sawed one OF
the timbers of the trestle-work nearly or
entirely through, and that it was barely
Sustained by the iron bolts ON each side.
Tracks were discovered at the spot, and
dogs being procured, they were traced to a
house in the neighborhood, and man, the
report says, being found guilty, was hanged

FORTS AND FoRTREssEs.-A cofrespon-
dent Of the Savannah Republican thus
defines the difference between the two:
There is but ono fortress in the United
States-sortress Monroe, all the other orti-
fed places, defending our barbors, are cal
led forts.
The distinction betwixt these two terms
is very wide. All fortresses are forts, or
fortified places but all forts are not fort
resses. All colleges are schools but
schools are not colleges. The relation of
forts to fortress, is that Of minor to major.
A fort may be simply an advanced work,
to protect the extended lines or a fortress
Generally, fortresses are extensive enceiintes,
for the receptian Of garrison. and built for
the protection of cities. In the United
States, extensive fortified places, with
large garrisons, have been constructed for
the defence of cities. Forti6cations in this
country have had reference, principally, to
hafbor defence. Fortress Monroe, with its
capacity for garrison, was constructed
for the defences Of the important Navy
Yard of Gosport and Norfolk, now in the
possession of Virginia or the Confederate
States.
The construction Of the extensive walls
OF fortress involves the highest science Of
engineering. Not so with forts. The for.
mer implies pclygons, bastions, curtains;
glaci', covered ways, planks, scarps and
counterscarps, ravelihs redaHs; redyubts-
and the whole vocabulary of engineering
science. Add to this, the idea of d vast
enceinte Or GENERALIZATION, to contain a
large garrison Of troops, and fortress rises
to its proportionats majesty.

Major Theophilus Holmes of North Carroll

harbor of New York, and general superinten-
dent of the recruiting business, has resigned
his commission. The natural inference is that
he was unwilling to engage in the work that
he believed would be imposed upon him, if
he retained his commission.
Major Holmes is native of North Carolina,
and has been in the service for thirty-one
years. He has distinguished himself on va
Iious occasions and has always enjoyed the
confidence of the War Department

He was native of New Jersey, but had long
been a citizen of Ohio. He was appointed to
a seat on the Supreme Court bench by Gen

cancies to fill. Judge Logan, President Lin
coins Law partner, is spoken of as the sue
cessor of Judge Mclean, and Chase of Ohio
to fill the other vacancy.

publicans have again carried the State cleo
