4HE PRINTERS DEMAND FOR INCREASED Fay
The WORLDS LITTLE LIEs.-On Saturday the
World stated that the printers employed on the
HERALD had, on Friday, at midnight, entered
into q combination to prevent the insertion
in our paper Of an advertisement for printers
sent by the proprietors of the Times. On Mon
day the World apologized to its readers for
having told them this odd little lie on Satur-
day, and then proceeded to tell them another,
which, doubtless, it supposed to be better
one. The last lie was to the effect that our
printers demanded that the obnoxious adver-
tisemcnt should be followed BY another in
tended to nullify 1t. All of this is sheer inven-
ton. We have had no difficulties at all with
our printers. No one has pretended to dictate
to us what advertisements should 60 in the
paper and what should not. Neither Of the
Worlds little lies has any other basis than an
Imagination stimulated by army ale.
We shall have no difficulties with the printers;
for we have done what every just employer
must do in times like these. We have acceded
to the reasonable requirements Of our printers,
because we believe their labor to be worth the
prices they ask for it. The bcefsteak that used
to cost fifteen cents pound now costs thirty;
and il is no more than right that the price
Of labor should proportionately increase, and
that the printer should get sixty cents now
where he got thirty cents few years ago. In
f1ation is o fact too patent for US to refuse to
recognize it; and as the government goes on
with its new issues all this must get even
worse, until the great balloon shall burst But
we pay this increase Of price because it sp-
pears to be just and not because any organiza-
ton demands it; for we do not recognize the
right Of any printers union to regufAte our
business arranQements

| THE North CAROLINA ELECrION.--The Rich
mond Dispatch OF the 18TH inst. states that
Governor Vance's majority in North Carolina,
with thirty five out Of eighty counties to hear
from, is twenty thousand niue hundred and
nioety-iour. In the Legislature, out Of one
hundred and seventy members, about twenty
five Holden candidates were elected. This re-
suit was to have been anticipated when the
manner in which the Union sentiment in the
State has been suffered to be trttered away
is taken into consideration. The Union raids
in the interior of the State have all been pro-
ductivc of harm instead of good They have
not been made in sufficient numbers to arouse
the Union sentiment or to encourage it when
awakened. In some places it never was
smothered; but in those instances the tyranny
Of the JEFF. Davis faction drove the adherents
to the old flag away from their homes, and they
were obliged to fee to the inhospitable noun
tain regions for safety. 1t should also be re.
memDered in connection with this result in
North Carolina that the peace men in that State
are far from being all Union men; for they in
cude among their number some Of the most
earnest adherents to the fallaoy of secession to
be found in the South.
In addition to the above caus es for the over
whelming defeat Of Mr.. Holden, it should be men,
toned that the army vote was under the direct
surveillance of rebel officers in full commu-
nion with the Davis despotism, and whose hopes
for the future rest upon its perpetuation. 1t is
only necessary to look at the votes in some of the
regiments to establish this fact:--In Barringer's
cavalry brigade, First North Carolina cavalry
regiment, Vance All, Holden none; Second
regiment, Vance 3l4, Holden S; Fifth regi-
ment, Vance 295, Holden 20; Twenty-hfth regi-
ment infantry, Vance 313, Holden 81; Cum
ming's artillery, Vance &C. Holden none;
Rowan's artillery, Vance l57, Holden none.
The whole vote Of North Carolinians
in hospitals in Richmond amounted to-
Vance S67, Holden Is. The army vote of Will
mington gives Vance 2,120, Holden 279. But
it is useless to multiply details about the army
vote. 1t was all one way, and that way was for
Vance. In Raleigh, where Mr.. Holden resides,
he received larger vote than in any other
place, obtsining BAT votes, against 34s for
Vance. This is the only.place in which the peace
candidate made any demonstration Of strength,
and, it will be seen, there he came within one
Of making tie with his opponent.

IRON CHdRLEeTON

/ An army correspondent writing from
| Charleston says So accurate has practic,
made the gunners in Forts Strong. Chatfeld
and Putnam, that they can drop their shells
into any part of the city that is within range
The batteries so unwisely built by Beauro.
| gard, to draw upon the city the FIRE Of Gen
Gillmore's forces, have been abandoned. The
same writer says the harbor obstructions
have nearly all been removed, and he adds
The navy is chafng with impatience at the
inaction in which they have been so long
kept. Every officer but one is eager TO prove
that the prowess Of the sea service is not a
thing Of the past. Delays are dangerous
While the enemy is left at liberty to build
his iron-clad vessels in security quite within
range Of the guns Of our feet, the sailors aud
officers on our ships, lying at anchor, are be-
coming dispirited by the odium aocruing to
their branch Of the service. They have seen
the triumphs of their brothers in arms ashore,
and naturally envy the army in the possession
of commander who knows what to do and
how TO do it. sg
1t is generally understood nov in that de-
partment that the reason alleged for the pres
snt inaction Of the feet is the presence Of the
three iron-c clad ships in the rebel possession,
building
just out Of the reach Of Morris Island bat
teries are visible two new rebel iron-clad
ships, in forward state Of construction, so
closely initiated from the New Ironsides and
the Dunderberg as to leave no doubt that the
rebels have reduced to practice the celebrated
military maxim o. the Romans, which advises
belligerents to learn even from their enemies.
One Of these iron ships-of-war was an
nounced lately as hlving been in view. 1t is
evidently intended, like the New Ironsides,
for a 'broadside' ship, and is constructed to
carry four guns Of immense power on each
side. Another monster is announced by our
lookouts as being built on the model of the
ram and the general contour of the work,
as it proceeds, assmilates to the shape of the
Dunderbefg, as that ship has been dravned
and described by the daily and illustrated
papers Of New York city.
Three powerful iron-clad ships are known
to lurk in the harbors Of Charleston harbor,
hiding behind the forts, to strike us at the
most critical time and in the most vulnerable
place. The forward condition Of their two
companion ships would seem to promise for
our delectation lively time, not long to be
deferred

letter from Chattanooga to the N. Y.
Times shows the practical view Of the mat
ter taken by the people thereabouts -
"There are men in Chattanooga who, il
they are not themselves rebels at heart, seem
to understand how rebels think and feel on
most questions. This class, if they mean
what they say, and am inclined to believe
they do, are heartily satisfied with the terms
of the proclamation, and say that all through
the South, just as soon as they can do it. the
great mass Of the people--especially the pro-
perty y-holders-wil make manifest their will
lingness to accept them. This property con
sideration-the property that is going to be
saved, about which all question is to be put
to rest as to confscation--is an important
feature in the case. The truth is, very few
in the South do not know and feel that by
rebelling great wrong was done and a cor
responding penalty incurred As the pros
poets Of the rebellion hafs waned the query
in the minds Of the propeIty-holders has been
about their property-how they were indivi-
dually going TO be affected when the grand
smash came. Mr.. Lincoln tells them II they
throw up their hands it shall be even quits
and, as | have said, it is the belief Of those
who seem to be best informed hereabouts
that the mass to whom tie proclamation is
really addressed will gladly come into the ar
rangement just the first moment they find
themselves in position to do so.
"Of course, the protection they require
must be given by our armies, and this will
henceforth be an important feature of the ad
vance into the confederacy. The olive branch
will not be less conspicuous than the sword
10 our future movements. 1t will necessarily
be a long time before the terms of the proc
lamation will be thoroughly Khown to the
people of the South. The state of helpless
ness which has succeeded the late rebel re-
verses has prepared the way for the proclama-
ton in the minds ofal who have not resolved
to sink or swim with the lesaers for whom there
can be no terms. l have seen several refu-
gees lately from Georgia, some Of them quite
intelligent, who take this view Of the case
They say that the southern people were not
prepared for such manifest Justice, such fair
ness, such liberality or course, say they,
the extensive shareholders will kick against
the anti-slavery clause but then they will
save their heads and their other property (;
and in this light the proclamation opens to
them the only way Of escape"
