A New Motive Power.

Capt. Ericsson the inventor of the Moni-
tor and of the Caloric engine, claims to have
discovered method by which solar heat
may be SO concentrated as to be employed as
a motive power. He has constructed three
solar engines; two of which were driven by
atmospheric air, heated by concentrated IA
diant heat from the sun, and one by steam,
which was made by similar concentration.
He holds that an area of ten square feet
on the suns surface, is sufficient to drive a
steam engine of 45,9A horse power; at the
earths surface the concentration of solar
heat on 100 square feet exceeds one-hcrse
power; and if Swedish square mile were
covered with these solar engines, 64,SOG en-
gines each of 1OO-horse power could Le kent
in notion
Mr. Deslumater, a celebrated ilon-worker
declares that "before the termination of the
present season, bread will be prepared from
flour, ground by the solar engines
At the late centennial celebration of the
Swedish University of Lund, Capt. Ericsson
communicated the theory and results men
toned above.

Some days ago we published an account
of the parade of the "Boys in Blue" and
'Invincibles" of Wilmington, Delaware.
The Wilmington On. C) Dog Star copies
the account, swears no such procession took
place in that town, and calls it Radical
Falsehood."
Friend Mann, do Post the Bernard animal.
"Hes barking up the wrong tree" Inform
him that there is more than one city called
Wilmington. Tell him that although you
have neither 'sBoys in Blue" or 'lnvincibles"
in Wilmington, NJ c., that you are prepared
to tan hides on and after the Sd OF Novem-

We will bet Confederate Postage Stamp,

federate paper in this city will publish the
above, or correct the false statement they
have made.

It is an ungrateful task to be compelled to
employ the expression that heads this article.
But we are driven to it from sheer necessity.
Sufficient time has elapsed for the Editor or
Editors of the Sentinel to have taken down
the flaming lie which stands over their
first editorial column. After what has hap
pened, men of honor would have done so.
This however, we do not expect from the
Sentinel.
The Sentinel quotes and then remarks as
follows: "learn the purposes of the cowardly
adventures who are now governing your
State"
This we pronounce aw1LFUI, DELIBERATE
AND MALICIOUS LIE. The Republican party
C'the cowardly adventurers,") entertain no
such purpose. We furthermore pronounce
that the author or authors Of this state
ment lied Knowingly, and that the lie IS
repeated euery time the charge is published.
We protest against this infamous false
hood in the name of the great PEACE PARTY
of the State. We protest against the further
publication of the extract as an outrage to
common decency. We protest against its
publication as foul stimulant to excite and
corrupt the chaste Imagination of the young
and virtuous In the name of the moral SEN
timent of our people, we protest against its
circulation as campaign document.
"Learn the purposes of the cowardly ad-
venturers who are now governing your
State p In the name of the Republican
F, State government of North Carolina we pro-
nounce the charge most foully false and
hold up to execration and infamy the authors
! of the lie
From the time that the people of North
! Carolina were lied into secession and ruin
down to-day, the loyal men of North Caro-
| lima have been known and read in every
neighborhood as peaceable and law-abiding
citizens. They have suffered persecution,
banishment, torture and death at the hands
of their rebel oppressors. Their long suffer
ing and forbearance has been beyond all par
allel No traitor has yet graced the gallows;
the property ofno murderer of Union men or
torturer of women has yet been confiscated.
And wonderful to say strange beyond all
comprehension-these creatures, with the
/, cool insolence of Satan himself, are not only
threatening to destroy the government which
has spared them, but declare that "such are
the purposes of the cowardly advent
who are now governing your [marr i mer a.s,
State!" 1T yo4f

Discussion at BrassfieIds.

We learn that on Friday last discussion
took place at Brassfelds Granville county,
between DR.. Eugene Grissom and Joseph j.
Davis, ESQ, which was conducted with much
propriety and characterized by ability on
the part of both gentlemen All accounts
concur in representing that DR.. Grissom
achieved a great victory over Mr.. Davis.
The audience was large, intelligent and re-
spectacle, and the best effect was produced
for Grant and Colfax. Brassfelds is an old
Union precinct, and will give large major
ity for Grant and Colfax.

We invite the attention of our Republican
friends to the proceeding of the State Execu-
tive Committee, which we publish to-day in
relation to these districts.
The committee has assumed no authority
to dictate But it has right to recommend,
and that is all it has done. The safety and
success Of the party is the supreme law. With
harmony in these districts, there can be no
doubt of success.
We indulge the hope that Mr.. French will
withdraw, and leave the field to Mr. Cobb.
This would ensure the defeat of Judge
Barnes.
In the Fifth District the contest has sunk
to violent personal wrangle between the
two Republican candidates, which is by no
means creditable to the party, and the Ger
tain tendency of which is the election Of the
Democratic candidate 1t is the firm conEic-
ton Of many good Republicans that it is
impossible to concentrate the vote on either
Col. Henderson or Judge Tourgce- This be-
Ing the case, and as 1t appears to be impos-
sable for these gentlemen to settle their dis
putes between themselves, it seemed mais-
pensable that some action should be taken
to secure the District for the Republicans.
Men should never be allowed to stand In tlae
way of the success of principles.
We trust every Republican in the District
will vote for Mr. LASH He is honest, faith
1ul and capable. His reelection would give
general satisfaction, and during histern there
Will be time to heal the division now unfor-
tunately existing in the party in the Fifth
District
Drop Henderson and Tourgee and vote
lor Lash Let this be the rallying cry of
every Republican in the District.

Ye HypOcritesl

We learn that a prominent gentleman of
North Carolina at public meeting short
time ago, attacked the character of an inno-
cent and unprotected female We will not
foul our sheet with the foul language he en-
ployed; nor do we deem it prudent just
nop to mention names and circumstances.
These attacks are not new in North Carroll
na They were einaugurated by Vance, whose
pet officers used to amuse themselves with
putting the thumbs of women under the
fence 1t has been buta month or so ago
that Raleigh correspondent for Petersburg
paper in the most cowardly and malicious
manner assailed the character of lady who
is toiling fora support for her fatherless chill
dren. And the paper published the commu-
nication, and the perpetrator of the outrage
escaped because the poor woman had no
husband, brother or son to protect her.
What has been the fate of those noble and
self-sacrifcing women who have left the en-
joyments of their Northern homes and friends
to come amongst us and to educate and ele-
vate the ignoranta The vilest ISLANDERS that
the wickedest hearts could invent have been
heaped upon them by the rebel press. Al
though coming here under the care of Chris
tian churches, they could not enter church
for worship without exposing themselvesto
insult. We could fill columns of extracts,
from Southern newspapers, to show. how
these ladies have been spoken of in terms
which evena Cyprian would repel with in
dignation. How long shall rebel hypoc-
ricy and rebel lies prevail amongst usa

Union Menl

Read the infamous proclamation Of Zebu-
lon Baird Vance in another column and re-
member that HE IS TIE MAN whom the trail
tors amongst us intend to put in as Governor
of North Carolina after they have turned
out Governor Holden at the point Of the
bayonct. Think of this, Union men, and
then 90 and vote for Seymour and Blair if
you can I!

Connecticut.

As far as heard from, up to midnight on
the 9th of October, the town clerks from all
but fourteen towns reported that in 149
towns heard from, the Republicans have
carried the full ticket in 80; the Democrats
in so; while are divided In ten towns
the Republicans gain the entire registra-
ton boards, and in five more towns the
Republicans gain more or less of the officers.
The Democratic gains are confined to two
towns where they have gained the entire re-
gistration boards and in three others where
they have gained portion of the officers.
The Republicans have gained largely in about
halfthe towns while there is great falling off
in the Democratic strongholds Wemay safe
ly put down the Republican gain in the towns
heard from in Connecticut at $500, which is
500 more than the Democratic majority at
the last State election. When the Associa-
ted Press gives us Republican gains, the re-
port may be relied upon. This Company is
under Democratic influence, and does not
give Republican gains unless the figures fully
justify it. On Monday night the Associated
Press reported heavy Republican gains, and
the official figures abundantly prove it. 1t
is to be remembered too, that these elections
were in the towns, where the strength of the
Democracy lies. In addition to this, the
town elections were not such as to call out
the full vote, and the Democrats were far
more likely to make gains than the Republi-
cans. The long agony is nearly over. Con-
necticut will go for Grant. The great States
of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana, which vote on the thirteenth, will GO
for Grant likewise The die is cast The
next Presidential election is safe, and peace
is secured to the nation.

Work..

Republicans should not allow too great
a confidence in the result to diminish their
zeal and energy. Let every one register as
soon as possible, and see to it that all his Re
publican friends do the same. The question
now is, how great a majority will we give
Grant in North Carolina. Let us make it at
the lowest $4,000. This we can do and will
do if we go to work with the proper spirit.
With $4,000 majority, we will hear no more
of "scallawags" and ''carpet baggers."

NO. Al.
The Rebel Butchery at opelousas.

Hard upon the heels of the Camilla massa-
ere comes the news of another rebel butchery
of Unionists and Republicans at Opclousas.
The facts in the case are as follows: The
butchery of Republicans at Opelousas was
begun by three Rebel Democrats, who
had undertaken to chastise Mr.. Bentley,
editor of the St. Landry Progress, in pres
ence of the school which he teaches. A
number uf Mr. Bentley's friends assembled
and were about to interfere but he advised
them to go home, saying that he would sue
out a warrant for the arrest of the offenders
Accordingly Mr.. Bentley's friends went away,
feeling that hewas pursuing the wiser course.
Mr.. B. applied for warrant and it was gram
ted, but before the officer attempted to exc
cute it force of armed Democrats took
possession of the town, and sallying forth
began the work Of slaughter firing upon
and killing every known Republican that
they encountered.
The Neao Orleans Bulletin, Democratic
newspaper, says that one Hundred negroes
sOere killed and fifty wounded, and that but
four Democrats were wounded and none
killed. The maddcned mob, after rioting
in the streets, entered the Office of The Pro-
gress and threw its type and presses into the
street. They then drove its French editor,
Mr.. Durand, into the woods and lynched
him. The foreman of the office was ordered
to quit the town, and to save his life he
went to New Orleans He says that it is
the rebels design to drive away or kill every
outspoken Republican in the Opelousas
district. The Progress was established by
Mr. Vidal, member of the present Congress.
Republicans are flying from st. Landry
Parish, fearing assassination if they attempt
to dwell there another day. The New Or
leans Crescent says that Radicalism is done
for in St. Landry Parish, at least for this
Presidential election.
The same spirit prevails here and nothing
but the fact that $4,000 white, and 10000
black men would take most summary ven
geance, keeps the peace in North Carolina.

The Enemies of the Government Arming.

We learn, on the best authority, that arms
have been imported into this State, and dis
tributed among members of Democratic Or
ganizations. These arms which are not or
dinary, but repeating rifles of various kinds,
have been shipped to the interior in boxes
There is, no doubt purpose exists to use
them against the government, and we call on
every good citizen who would avoid the hor-
rors of another war, to aid the authorities in
preventing this distribution of arms for war
purposes No one denies the right of
the people to have arms in their houses, or
to use them for hunting and other peaceable
purposes but when arms of an extraordinary
character are thus brought in by wholesale
and distributed among certain class, many
of whom declare themselves hostile to the
government, it is time for the friends ofpeace
and good order to be on the alert
We take it for granted that the attention
of Gov. Holden has been called to this mat
ter. Gov. H., is making no noise as politi-
clan, but he is incessantly engaged in his du-
ties and is no doubt prepared for any emer-
gency. He is not moved in the least by the
storm Of denunciation which is poured upon
him by the enemies of the government, but
is pursuing the even tenor of his way with
a quietness equalled only by his frmness
We have his pledge that the peace shall be
maintained at all hazards and we have no
doubt that pledge will be redeemed. We
trust he has already brought this matter to
the attention of the proper officers through
out the State, and that no effort will be SPAR
ed to ferret out the guilty who are thus con-
spring against the peace of society.
We make no threats. But we tell the re-
bel leaders that armed resistance or insurrec-
tion on their part will be met with power
which will will crush them and their for
tunes forever Assassination will be avenged
For every Republican who may be assassina-
ted, two rebels will be sent to their long ac-
count. Let the plotters of treason and war
beware

cans in the first Congressional District are

of Mr.. Cobb. The Republicans of the Dis
trict are unit for the nominee, Mr.. Cobb,

creased majority. We have the most cheer

Col. Richard 1. Wynne.

This gentleman is doing gallant service
for the Republican party in Western North
Carolina. He is an eloquent speaker, and
rising above the appeals to prejudice and
passion which the so-called Democracy are
making, he has the manliness to raise his
voice for Grant and Colfax and peace.

REGISTRATION.

Republican speakers should bear in mind
that new registration of voters is required.
Registration books are to be opened in all
tbc precincts of all the counties on the 10th
day of October, and continue open until the
dav of the Presidential election on the 3rd
dav of November. A prompt and thorough
registration will greatly facilitate the bust
ness of voting, and will contribute to the
polling of a full vote.
THERE IS TO BE BUT ONE DAY FOR
yorINe; in many precints the polls will be
crowded: the swearing in Of voters on election
day will so delay voting that many electors
will not be able TO reach the boxes.
By ALL MEANS LET THE REGISTRATION BE
COMPLETE PREVIOUS TO ELECTION
DAY.
Make up the muster rolls that we may
know how large the hosts of Freedom are.
