Captain Halrs Arctic E1pIora,ioii,


A letter to the Herald, dated at RepuIss
Bay August Is, gives an account Of visit
to Captain HALL. the Arctic explorer, whose
qnsrtors have mot been changed since last
winter, The writer says; sf
Some information he got iaat winter
from the natives he fell in With made him
decide on wintering therS this winter. They
told him that some white men had been
with thom for l6hg time, and one of them
died and they buried him with great care.
Captain Hall thinks that might be Sir John
Franklin, aud has determined to try and
reach the country and see for himself 90
he offered, among the whaling leet nts
huhded dollars in gold per man for five
men to go with him. The men, having
wintered, did not wish to stay but at last
FIVE good strong men have joined, and when
they are done hunting this fall they Will
start. Captain Hall is sure of obtaining sufns
relics, at least. If die, says he, Il shall
die doing my duty"

ABLE BODIED MEN.-One of the
facts brought out by the war, but never
before suspected, was the fact that a
very large number of the men of the
country between the ages of eighteen
and thirty-five were physically unsound.
1t almost seemed that there were no
healthy men; but there is the consola-
ton which misery always finds in hav-
ing company. Other countries are as
unfortunate as our own. The discus
sions in France about proposed changes
in the army are bringing out curious
statements about the physical unsound-
ness OF the French. The Paris CORES
pondent of the London Times says that
the number of men whom Napoleon
proposes to take every year for his army
will require nearly every able-bodied
young man which the country can pro-
duce. Very many Of the young men
who are obliged to draw lots every year
and are liable to serve as recruits in the
order of their numbers are registered
by the medical inspectors. In 1864,
out of 325, 900 men liable to serve, more
than 100000 were rejected. Of these
1906 were under the standard hight
3O,524 had consumption, weak consti-
buttons and the like; 15,9sS were born
defective or had hernia or something
equivalent; 6,9SS were blind or deaf;
9,lOO were humpbacked or fatfooted ;
9G3 stammered; 4,1O3 lacked teeth;
1921 had goitre or scrofula; 2,l4S were
paralytics or lunatics; and 1916 had
some other incapacity.

Meetings of CoIored Pc ople.

The proceedings of the meeting of colored
people, held in Flagg's Hall, in this City, on
Saturday last, will be found in our paper to-
day. The meeting was addressed by Mr..
James Fl. Harris and others. We learn that
it was entirely harmonious, and that the best
feeling prevailed among our colored friends.
1t will be seen that Messrs. J. H. Harris,
G.. W. Brodie, Robt. Lucas, Handy B. Lock
EFT, and T. S. Pearson, Jr., were appointed
to attend the meeting in this City on We'd
nesday, to consult with the white Unionists
in the preliminary work of reconstruction
We know all these gentlemen, and we regard
them as well qualified for the duty thus de-
volved upon them. They are men of excel
lent sense and high moral character.
Attention is also invited to the proceedings
of the colored people of Fayetteville, in the
Standard to-day.
The prospect now is that there will be
quite full attendance of loyal Unionists or
Republicans on Wednesday.

RALEIGH. N. g.
TUESDAY, MARCH 26th, 1867.

The suggestion of the Salem O6sercer that
the Unionists of North Carolina henceforth
adopt the name-and we may add the or
ganisation-of the Republican party, is we'll
timed, and meets with our hearty approba-
ton. While we do not presume to dictate,
we would respectfully advise our friends to
at once accommodate their political language
to this important change.
The Republican party of the United States
of America! It is an honorable name; and
history will record that, through its efforts,
the federal government was preserved, and
the integrity of the nation maintained. De-
voted to the salvation of the great Western
Republic and the perpetuation of the Union
and the Constitution, with all their inestim-
able blessings, hitherto it has been the mis-
fortune of the loyal people of the South to
labor separately and apart from their natur
al allies. Why should we longer remain di-
vided?
Let our organization, State and National,
be rendered as harmonious and perfect as
our principles and objects are coupled and
inseparable"
Time and again the Republican party has
plucked malignant traitors from the seats
of power, and lifted up the down rodden
and oppressed. And
"Twas not enough to help the feeble up,
But to support him after ~
To this party, therefore, the loyalists Of
the South are indebted not only for their
liberties, but for their lives. Its success has
ever been our triumph-its defeat would be
our humiliation. Therefore, if we are not
REPUBLICANS, what are we. Every interest
impels us to enlist under the banner of the
party. Else, whittier are we going2 What
are we to dol
In the Northern States, such men as Wade,
Colfax, Forney, Stevens, Sumner, Boutwell,,
Shellabarger, Morton, Logan, Hamlin, Geary,
Butler, and Howard are its leaders, and in
the South such as Bolts, Hamilton, Brown
low, Maynard, Stokes and others. Let the
loyal people of North CAROLYN. come out as
one man, and array themselves with the
patriots of every section of the Union and
ere .ong, the very strongest link in the chain
that shall bind the whole people to the gov
ernmeat of their fathers, will be the Repub-
lican party of the honest Old North State
For one, our opponents may write us down
a Republican, or Radical, vigilant and uncom-
promising.
There are but two roads before our people.
One leads back to the Union under the aus
pices of the Republican party the other to
still further suffering, confscation and execu-
tions for treason. Therefore, there are but
two parties in the country, the REPUBLICAN
and the REBEL. Let our people decide this
day with which of these parties they will
act, for in such crisis no man can be neu-
trail.

Reconstruction in North Carolina.

Before the method of reconstruction has
been perfected by Congress, the loyal men of
the South accept the law, and are preparing
to obey it. The Union members of the Leg
islature of North Carolina have already issu-
sued call to the people, without regard to
race or color, to send delegates to a prelimi-
nary council to be held in Raleigh on the
9th inst. The object of this meeting is to
mature plan for Convention of the peo-
pie to frame State Constitution in confor-
nifty with the laws of the United States
The final passage of the supplementary bill
by Congress will relieve the Convention of
the necessity of devising the machinery of
reconstruction, but its great work-the Or
ganization of a Union party in North Caro-
lina-remains, and we rejoice that it is to be
attempted. So far as we know, the rebel
leaders of North-Carolina have done nothing
to show that they are willing to accept the
offer of Congress There are one hundred
and seventy members of the Legislature, of
whom but thirty are Union men, and from
the majority North Carolina has nothing to
expect-nor should her people place too
much faith in any pledges they they may
make. This movement begins at the right
end. One hundred end forty white dele
gates have been chosen, and the Chairman
of the Union caucus, Mr.. G. L. Harris, has
consulted with the colored men, who have
taken measures to send one hundred and fif-
ty delegates For the first time in the his
tory of the State colored men will be recog-
nized as the political equals of the white
men. This is fact better than a thousand
promises, and if the white cititizens of other
States who have the right under the laws
to begin the work of reconstruction, desire
to prove their sincerity, they must cease to
talk of their readiness to accept impartial
suffrage and act upon it. North Carolina
leads the way.-Neac York Tribune.

The Election in Craven.

The rebel presses have been exulting over
the election of John Hughes to the Senate
from Craven, as the Southern candidate, ~
by the aid of the colored vote. The news
was tclegraphed North, and among Others
the Richmond Examiner said:
"D'Oes this prove that the negroes of
North Carolina have much more brains than
the Yankees gave them credit for2
They know who their true friends are,
who helped them heretofore, and will again
help them. They know on whose prosperity
their own depends, and whom they can trust
with their rights.
| That which has occurred in Columbia, s.
C., and at n eswbern1, will happen everywhere.
The respecta BILE colored people will vote with
vicious, and those who are best described in
that expressive phrase, low lived" will
vote against the native and true Southern
people"
We knew W hat the facts were all along
| as we were pc sted by friends in Newbern.-
The rebel Sent incl of this place now admits
on the authority of the rebel paper in New
bern, that Mr.. Hughes had no opposition
and that only five colored men voted in
Newbern.
In Newbern Mr.. Hughes received $50
white rebel votes at Little Swift Greek 8;
at Core Creek IS; at Ives Is. Mr.. N. H.
Street received As votes at Bay River There
| are not less than 1000 colored voters in Ora
ven. When the time comes the Republicans
of Craven will sweep the County Ikea storm.
The same issue of the Richmond Examiner
| which exulted over this supposed rebel tri-
| umph, by the aid of colored votes, contains
the following:
every man who voted in either branch
of Congress for the Sherman bill, deliberate
| ly and knowingly violated his oath to sup
port the Constitution, and the effort which
seems to be popular to break the force of
this fearful charge of felony, by declaring
that the Constitution no longer exists, is sim
ply confession of guilt"
The loyal people of this State will never
do any thing knowingly to elicit praise from
sach depraved and reasonable sheet as
the Richmond Examiner.

THE GREAT FLOOD IN THE WEST

THE GREAT FLOOD IN THE WEST
Intelligence from Friar's Point, Missis.
sippi, says the river is six inches higher
than ever before known. The flood ex-
tends back to the hills distance of
thirty miles. Great restitution pre-
walls, and the people are very much dis
heartened. Smithland, KY, is COM
pletely inundated. Some houses have
been washed away, and several families
have taken refuge in the courthouse.
Great suffering exists at Mound City in
consequence Of the inundation of that
town. The citizens of Cairo sent up a
boat with provisions, and 81, 800 in
money, for the sufferers, which was JOY
ously received. The trains on the Iii
nois Central railroad run through water
about foot deep for distance ofthree
hundred yards at Mound City Junction,
but the levees are still firm. The water
was ten feet deep in the principal streets
of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Houses
were floated off, and citizense in some
cases had to cut their way through the
roof of their houses. AT New Albany,
Indiana, four hundred families were
driven from their homes by the flood.
At Evansville, Indiana, and Nashville,
Tennessee, the damage was very great.
