Mr.. EDlroR:-There is an appeal to risbteon,
public, when officials fail to feel an appeal to thss
sense of justice Here is the occasion which c,Ts
for this remark. Six weeks ago, I was detained
one morning in Raleigh, at the baggage car Of thu
Charlotte train to get my trunk until but moment
before the cars for Weldon left There was m,
moment between the arrival of the cars from Cb,,
lotte and the departure Of the cars for Weldon IA
60 to the Office in Raleigh and get my ticket I
had even to get on while the cars were in motion
I told the hard man, the Conductor, the cir
cumstances but he insisted on adding fifty cents ia
the regular fare because had failed under the cir
cumstances to get ticket in Raleigh He created
the necessity of getting on the cars without tick.
ct, and then makes you pay for it. l wish some
one between the termini of this road, who can do
SD without delay on journey, will test this inoui
tous principle at tribunal of JUSTICE

Nh. EDITOR Please publish the following for
the benefit of those whom it concerns There has
been much said and written concerning extor.ion-
ers and SPECTATORS but there is another class of
men who deserve passing notice. They are those,
who, being too penurious to subscribe for paper,
hang around the Post Offices in order to get papers
to read that belong to others. This is permitted by
the Postmaster not hundred miles from where
now sit to write. Shame such Postmasters-
shame on such stingy mortals, and especially so,
when every body is able to subscribe for paper
l suffer weekly from the above cause Mr.. Editor,
is there no law to reach such Postmasters? What
think you Of such officers? My paper is so worn
that cannot read it at ALL sometimes-and is from
three to six days later getting to me than it should
be. This Ito me) sore evil must be remedied

the choosing of their officers, and cited the dis
satisfaction that existed in the organization Of the

ments now in service
Mr.. Fowle said that he was more opposed to the
amendment than to any plan that hal been sugges-
ted He was in favor Of the general principle of
giving the selection of the officers to the rank and
file. Blu. he deemed that inexpedent so lar as the
force proposed to be raised by this bill concern

put in active service in a short time to meet an
emergency, and as he was satisfied he might say
that he knew, that the Governor would select the
appointees from among those that were experienced

being made by him.

Of field officers to the company offcers-he knew
of a number of instances where the known wishes
of the troops had been totally dsregarded by these
officers such had been the case, where the elec

The wind of Cannon Balls.

The times have been
That when the brains were out, the man would
die
And there an end; but now they rise again.
With twenty mortal murders ON their crowns,
And push us from our stools"
so with the superstitions of sailors and
soldiers. They have more lives than cats.
The brains have been Knocked out of this
one many times, but here it comes again.
Col. Russell falls dead in the cannonade at
Roanoke; no wound is found upon his body {;
ergo, say the soldiers, he was killed by the
tcind of the balls. Non Se9uit,r, saws the sur
geon.
The wind of cannon ball never hurts
anybody. for many reasons, the first of which
is, that there is no such thing.
The air displaced BY the ball closes instant
" behind il. but has no lateral effect
This is proved in various WAYS but is placed
beyond cavil or question, by the common oc-
currences in every severe cannonnade. For
instance, the dispatch received from Fort
DOnelSon says:-''A shot struck the pilot
house of the St. Louis, passing through it,
bef,ceen the pilots legs. without iniuring him" 4"
Why did not the wind of that ball at le;,st
bark his shins?
The fact Is. that military surgery abours1s
in cases which prove that cannon balls pass In
grazing contact with all parts of a mans body,
and never do the slightest harm, except to the
part actually struck. They have smashed
clean through hats and helmets, grazing the
hair, they have cut off ears close to the skull :;
arms close to the side; one thigh close 10 the
other; and vet the adjacent parts are left as
sound as ever.
An instance is given of a heavy shot stsi-
king a rank of marching men in the flank,
taking off the right leg of the first, OF the
third. and of the fifth man. of course passing
between the legs of the Others, and vet the
lefi legs of the wounded men were uninjurdd,
and the other men knew nothing about it.
According TO the wind theory, their legs should
have been badly injured.
But how account for TIE death of men in
action, whose skins are unbroken, save by the
wind theory?
Easily. as thus:-The vital internal organs
float, as il were, in yielding medium. Press
your hand into the pit of a mans stomach

you're Right, Sir, says McFinnigan.''
Two Irishmen out of employ,
And out O. the elbow as asly,
Adrift in grocery store,
Were smoking and taking it lazily;
The one was broth of boy,
Whose cheek bones turned out and turned
in again,
His name was Paddy O Toole-
The other was Mr.. McFinnigan.
Bad luck to the rebels, says Pat,
For kicking up all this bobbery;
They call themselves gentlemen, too,
While practicing murder and robbery.
Now, if its gintale for to stale,
And take all the creditors in again,
I'm glad I'm no gentleman born
You're right, sir, says Mr. McFinnigan.
The nagur States wanted row,
And now, pom me word, they have got in it;
They have chosen bed that is hard,
However, they strive to cotton it.
Now, if it's the nagurs they name,
BY chivalry, then it's sin again
For to fight for a cause that's so black
You're right, sir, says Mr.. McFinnigan.
Joost mind what ould Englands about,
A sending her troops into Canady,
And all her ould ships on the coast
Are ripe for treachery any day.
Now if she could mix in this war
To think so it makes me head spin again
Ould Ireland would have such chance!
You're right, sir, says Mr.. McFinnigan.
>There's never an Irishman born,
From Maine to the end of Secessiondom,
But longs for time and a chance
To fight for his country in Hessian-dom.
And so if ould England should try
With a treacherous friendship to sin again,
They'll be all on one side at once
You're right, sir, says Mr.. McFinnigan.
Horroo for the Union, me boysl
And the devil take all who would bother it
Secession's nagur so black
The divil himself ought'to father it.
Horroo for the bould Sixty-Ninth
Now they are bound to 90 in again;
It's Corcoran's rescue they're at
You're right sir, says Mr. McFinngan.
