REIGN OF TERROR IN NORTH CAROLINA
A dispatch dated Raleigh, August 2lst,
says:
Lieutenant W. a. Hahn, on special
duties of an important character in the de-
partment of Virginia, has arrived here from
a trip through the northeastern portion OF
this State, where there is no military force.
He reports that three negroes were shot IN
Northampton county the other day, BY the
home guards or county police, for refusing to
return to their master, after accepting EN-
plovment elsewhere; and that the people re
fuse to recognize the freedom of the blacks,
who are whipped and tortured IN the most
fendish manner, for merely expressing de
sire to be free, and that shooting and killing
these creatures appears to have been the
order of the day. Lieutenant Hahn also
saws q Union man, in Hartford county. was
driven from his home for employing color
ed pirl as servant without consulting her
former master. He also says perfect reign
of terror exists in that portion of the State on
account Of the absence of the military"

was borrowed and security given for the

taking his men he had them march, saying
they would learn four times as fast. He
went to Missouri and was under Fremont.
Meanwhile his friends, like CromwelPs
little daughter, We're indeed very few. =
Mr.. Houghton, editor of the Gazette, on the
3lst May, 1861, describes Colonel Grant as
the soul Of honor, and no man breathes who
has more patriotic heart, and 'our new
soldiers need the leadership of a rare man

December q, in an editorial estimating the
character of General Grant, and in particu-
lar it mentions his modesty. frankness,
sagacity, and strategy. l take these things
from the files Of the paper myself.
To this stage of the hero's life, history
does moi furnish example of any other man
who has been so successful in righteous
cause.
General Grant is still thoughtful man.
When he speaks he holds down his head and
thinks. Some say he has not forgotten
Mexico. 1t is too soon to estimate his
character; indeed, very little is known. In
wide brimmed cavalry hat, and in clothes
little too large, and with silent tongue,
one knows not what to say. My impression
is, that he will prove to be as much beloved
as Washington"

Ice MAK1Ne-The New Orleans Times
describes an ice factory in that city, which
turns out two hundred pound of ice per
hour. equal to any ever manufactured by
dame nature herself The entire strength Of
the machinery does not exceed two horse
power. and consumes about two thirds of a
cord of wood and one pound of coke in TWEEN
tv-four hours. The process of manufacture
is quite simple. A large retort contains
concentrated aqua ammonia, which, being
moderately heated, passes in the form Of
gas. thlough worm surrounded by bath
f water, Of the temperature of the atmos
here, and is hqui1ied This liquifed gas
is then passed in verv small Quantities
through worm in bath of highly coneen
t-ated salt, where it is volatilized. To ac-
quire that state it is obliged to deprive the
bath Of all its eal0ric. BY constant passage
through the worm the temperature of the
bath is reduced from fifteen to twenty-five
degrees below zero-centigrade.

A CONSISTENT DEMocRAT-A few days
since, the Examiner was urging people to
vote for E. II. Hartley, Democratic nominee
for Supreme Judge, on the ground that, &C.
covding to the Constitution, that was not q
political Office. That talk was for milk and
water Union men. Yesterday, it urged the
faithful to vote for Hartley because he is a
Democrat, and is opposed to negro suffrage,
while his opponent has expressed no opinion
on this political question. As a Supreme
Judge of this State will have just as much
and no more-to do with comforting or
Withholding negro suffrage as the least influ.
entail voter in the State, and as the Office is
"not political one, /" it would be interesting
to know why opinions expressed, or failure
to express opinions on that political subject,
should influence any mans vote. The Ex.
aminer would be nothing if it was not Demo-
cratic and it would not be Democratic if it
were consistent.-CaU.
