The New-Hampshire Election.

The smoke and the confusion OF the bat
tie has cleared away and we are able to view
the situation calmly. New-Hampshlre has
gone Republican The result in this State
is not to be attributed to demagog'sm. The
people there are intelligent. They know
what the best interests of the country at
large demands They have voted according
". If Pennsylvania and Ohio had to vote
again with the present lights before them,
the result would be different. New-Hamp-
shire voted to save the public credit; to re-
store peace and quiet; to reconstruct the
lion; to put final end to all this trouble.
In one word, New Hampshire voted for re-
construction on the Congressional plan. 1t will
be a fatal day for North Carolina when her
people reject the present terms OF recon-
struction in the hope Of aid and comfort
from their Northern friends The die is cast
The Union must be reconstructed. The peo-
pie must rule. ...
Equal justice for all men must prevail
Those who fight against this, fight against
the iaexorable decrees of fate. If they per-
sist in their folly, they can only destroy
themselves, if they do not succeed in bring
ing ruin upon their misguided followers
As New Hampshire has spoken, other States
will soon speak.
Let the course of Hampshire be q
standing contradiction to the reports that
the North is opposed to equal rights; and
let it be a warning to those wretched trail
tors who are laboring to involve the country
in another war; that " there's life in the old
land yet."i

from Annesley Bay say letters from the British
captives have been, received, dated Magdola,
Feb. 9. The prisoners were still confined in y
fort of King Theodorus, at Magdoa. Though
in great fear of the vengeance Of the King, they
still well treated; ali were alive and in good
health. The letters give the important inteli-
gence that King Shoa, powerful territory chief,
had left MagdOla in great rage against Thcodo-
rus, and it was believed he would turn bis arms
against the Ahyssnian monarch as soon as the
British soldiers appeared in sight. No know
ldge has yet been obtained of what plan OF opcr-
atiops King Thcodorus intends 10 adopt.

When you hear man say that white and
colored men are to drill in the same militia
companies, to be officered 10y colored men, tell
him that every colored man in the Conven-
ton said no.
When you hear o man say that white and
cnlOred children are to be sent to the same
schools, to be taught by colored men, tell
him that every colored man in the Conven-
tion said no.
Tell him that the militia of the State will
be organized on IL loyal basis, and that
schools will he open for all.
That is what the Convention meant and
said. Therefore, without any further argli
ment, deny the charges and call for the
proof.
The White Mans party begged for colored
votes last year. They are begging for them
now.
The White Mans party murdered ohite
men for slavery They murdered colored
men, who sheltered starving Federal priso
ners.
They made white pon,en work in the fields
for bread during the war; and spent the
poor s'hite boys school fund for powder.
They employed eOlored slave mechanics,
and drove White mechanics out of the coun-
try.
They established colleges for rich white
boys, and made the poor whites stand out in
the cold.
They starved white men at Andersonville
and Salisbury-during the war, they shot
and conscripted tOhite men-they whipped
a0l.ite women, anG they plundered every echite
mans house and cabin in the country of its
owner to fight for human slavery.
There are more crimes at the door of the
White Mans party against its own race
than mortal tongue can recall.

He therefore thought that a misunderstanding
between the two nations was impossible. He

REPORTED RIOT IN TEXAs.-A Geographic
dispatch dated Galveston, Texas, yesterday,
says:
Son the evening Of the 9Th riot com,
menced at Millican, on the Central Railroad.
A mob Of about twenty-five negroes, led by a
white school teacher and negro named
Brooks, attempted to hang man named VIM.
Holiday. White citizens prevented the exc
cution, and headed by the Sheriff and Bureau
agent attempted to suppress the mob. which
resulted in the death of ten or twelve negroes.
On the 9th the numbers increased on both
sides, and skirmishing occurred during the day.
The casualties arc estimated at twenty-five. A
small body of troops arrived late last night, and
dispersed the rioters, killing three negroes.
The latter, numbering three hundred to five
hundred, had fortified themselves three miles
from Millican, and refused to lay down their
arms till the troops dispersed them. The en-
tire loss is fifty or sixty. The difficulty is said
to have arisen from suspicion that negro
member OF the Loyal League had been hung,
but who has since been found.
We do not know how far this account may
be exaggerated.
