The Editor of. the Register is very much con-
fned at the fact that Gov. Vance has ordered out
Pew Of the militia to guard the Railroad bridges.
h safety of these bridges is quite as important
The Confederate cause as it is TO the Railroad
tnpanies OF the travelling public. The loss of one
them by fire might prevent the transportation
troops and munitions of war necessary to win
aei and the loss Of q battle might be fatal to
cause. If Mr.. Davis, instead of Gov. Vance,
issued this order the Register would have pro-
need it as fair thing as ever was, and would
characterized those who might have objected

In the matter Of Manasseh Line6arger.
The points presented by this case were decided
by me in the matter of Irwin from the county of
Rockingham; the opinion and decision are filed in
the office Of the Clerk of the Superior Court of said
countI0
The construction of acts of Congress so fer as
distinguished from military regulations, is matter
for the Courts and any construction put on them
by the officers Of the Executive department, is sub
ject to the decision of the Judiciary. see 10 rea-
son to change my opinion and for the reasons sta
ted in Twins case think that the discharge Of Line
barger by reason of his substitute, is of full force
and effect-the acts Of Congress- called the con-
scription acts, to the contrary. Notwithstanding
1t is considered by me that the said Linsbarger be
discharged with liberty to go wheresoever he will.
1t is further considered that the cost Of this pro-
ceeding allowed by law to be taxed 5y the Clerk of
the Superior Court Of Castor county, according to
the act of Assembly, be paid by NJ H. Hand. The
clerk will Gle the papers in this among the pa

What is remarkable as we'll as gratifying in the

Cranberry Iron.

Cranberry Iron.
The Cranberry Iron Works are situated in Mitch
ell County, N. g., twenty miles from Calhoun the
Court House town, and near branch of the Towee
OF Nolichuckee river, called Elk creek, that rises in
the Yellow mountains, and about two miles and
half from the Tennessee line; on Pearce's map near
the corner of Yancy and Watauga Counties and
opposite Carter County, Tenn. The Cranberry
iron has been proved by the experience Of those
who have tried it, to be as pure and good metal as
any yet discovered in any part Of the world. By
DR.. Emmons' analysis, the ore from which it is OBJ
tanned contains 80 per cent of pure oxide of iron,
and it is styled by biologists the magnetic iron ore
The two veins that have been worked already, are
in the out-crop, four feet each in width; and in
such cases will probably widen as they descend
The lode may be said to be inexhaustible, and is
now worked by a company; one Of the company,
Chr. Carter acting as superintendent. We have
seen specimens of the ore, recently brought from
there, by Dr. Emmons, State Geologist, and the
maleable iron made from it. One specimen was
hammered when cold to the shape of fattened S,
and in the sharp curves 1t remained perfectly
smooth, and without the slightest appearance of
transverse cracks or fractures of any kind. This
iron is peculiarly adapted for "small work " of va
rious Sorts such as cutlery, telegraphic wire, et
cet., and for Large work" there is probably no
iron yet used by the trade which would equal il,
where sudden and powerful strains must be resist
ed, as in boiler-plate, cables &C.. and in fire arms
or ordnance of large calibre. This Cranberry iron
has been thoroughly tested to welding, requiring
only half the quantity Of borax to weld 1t to cast
steel-free from any defects or flaws. There are
two bloomeries now at work, and the company IN
tends to erect others in short time. They have
been always able to sell the iron at the highest
market price, and backsmths prefer it to anyother
iron for hotnails. The demand cannot as yet be
any thing like supplied even in the immediate
neighborhood

TRAITORS IN ALABAMA.-Some time ago we were
surprised to notice in Tuscumbia Ala. paper an
account of raid on that place mainly by Ala
barnians in the Yankee service. We are again sur
prised to see in the Montgomery Ala. Aduertiser
that 200 of the Yankees captured in Forests late
brilliant expedition are Alabamians. Still more
surprising is it that these occurrences lead to no
abuse of Alabama. The Richmond Enquirer pub
fishes such items in telegrsphic dispatch, and has
not word of remark upon them. Fortunate Ala
bamians! Unfortunate Enquirer! What God
send if these things could only happen in North
Carolina !-FdyetteviIle Observer.
Alabama is not abused because Alabama is con-
trolled by original secessionists. The Richmond
Enquirer and those whom it serves, would, if they
had the power, inflict on the old Union men Con-
servatiyes of North Carolina a much worse fate
than that inflicted by Lincoln on the national Dem
ocrats of the North. Even if we of the South
should be so fortunate as to emerge from our pres
ent struggles an Independent people, there is no
certainty that we shall escape bloodshed here at
home. Those who talk about furnishing some Con-
servatives and changing" others, wiU be met, not
by words, but by arms, if necessary. This State,
for example, if in the hands of the Destructives,
would most probably be soon involved in civil
strife, for the Conservatives would not submit
quietly to the reign or terror which they would at.
tempt to establish. They the Conservatives) would
not be responsible for su CHI state of things as they
are not responsible for tn g present war.

has been received. You state that you wished the
report of his being deserter should be contradict
ed through the same channel by which it had been
published. 1t is necessary to inform you that
list was called for from the Colonies of regiments,
reporting all absentees without leave. They in turn
called upon their Captains for lists from the compa-
MES These lists being consolidated were copied at
my headquarters, one copy furnished to the Gov
ernor, and another to the Sherifs Of our different
counties. The object of this was to force up men
who. without excuse, were remaining away from
their posts. The lists we're not intended for pub
licaton, nor have eyer seen them in print or known
of their being printed. The names amounted to
considerably over thousand from the brigade
Errors made by Captains could not of course, be
