Cape Fear Appropriation.

Senator Abbott has succeeded in secur-
ing an appropriation of one hundred thou
sand dollars for the improvement OF the
mouth of the Cape Fear River. lie is en-
titled to the thanks Of our people for his
efforts in this behalf, and if he will use his
official influence to prevent any portion Of
it from being wasted or stolen, he will rem
der our obligations still greater.
We can only hope that sufficient benefit
may be derived from the jndicious expendi
turo of this sum, so that Congress will be
induced to increase it when it is spent. II
anything more than ii substantial begin
ming is attempted with The present appro-
priation, the whole Will be thrown away,
and the Improvement of the Cape Fear
bar will be delayed a qn0rter of a cen :
tury.
Let Senator Abbott see that this money
is spent under the direction Of a cOmpe-
tent government official, whose character
will be proof against the possibility of its
misapplication, and whose experience and
capacity will prevent its being usclessly
expended.

Dear Journal The colored people in
Pic Mic on last Saturday, at the plantation
of E. B. Cox. Esq. After the crowd as
sembled, it was decided to have O speech.
Conservative colored man, Sam Ste
phene, was FIRST introduced, and he pitched
into tho Radicals rough shod. He told
tho crowd that he had voted his last ticket
with the carpet baggers that he used to
buy box Of matches for one cent, and he
now had to pay five cents; that it was Rad
zeal taxes that caused it. He told them
that the members of the Legislature had
voted themselves seven dollars per day, and
then asked thom where the money came
from. 1t came ont Of the pockets of the
working men. He talked to them with
strong good sense. His remarks were list
ened to with much attention, and evident
ly made an impression upon his hearers.
After Stephens finished, an old Jail bird
who had been confined in Jail in Onslow
for liking other peoples hogs too well, got
up and said he was Radical or Republi-
can, land he was black Republican

any negro soy he was Conservative, and
my negro that would advise the colored
people to vote with the Conservatives

instead of companies. Governor Hoiden's
militia and the Federal troops will come
jim conflict long before there will be any
difference between the people of North
Carolina and the soldiers of the United
States But Senator POOLS programme
does not seem to work we'll. Oar people
do not setm willing to be deprived Of their
rights, in violation of tho law and the Con-
sttution, upon no better authority than
the order of W. w. Holden and his mas
ter, John Pool. Even the Stdadard adj
mits "there is a general sentiment against
q military movement on the part OF the
Government of this State. 4" How far this
general sentiment" may be justified our
readers can determine for themselves by
reading the infamous proclamation of the
Infamous Kirk, calling for recruits, pub
lished in another column. The Recorder
tells us that Capt. Bosher, OF the militia,
was sent to HilIsboro' Ito keep order on
the 4th." When it is remembered that the
colored Radical candidate for Congress in
the district, James Ii. Harris, spoke there
on that day we can readily see why the
military movement on the part OF the
Govern ment of the State should be dis
tasteful to our people. We have no appre-
hension, however, as to be result. Our
people will both speak aid vote regardless
of Kirk and Clarke and their miscreant
soldiers With the Federal soldiers we
have no quarrel, nor from them have we
any apprehension of any injury to us or
our rights. Federal troops and Federal
authority constitute no bug-bear 30 the
people of North Carolina. IF President
Grant had told Governor Holden that he
must work out his own political salvation
and that of his party without Federal
troops there might have been some cause
for apprehension, but 50 long as he avows
his purpose to send Regular Troops here
we feel perfectly safe. John Pool has
over shot the mark.

Egolien's military Movement.

As our readers know, Governor Holden
was, during the past week, IN Washington
City, in conference with President Grant.
Senator John Pool was also present at the
interview, which the public are informed
by g telegram from the Govern or's Aid to
| the Governors Private Secretary was
Every satisfactory" The public are also
informed that the President approves the
Governors course, and that two extra
companies Of Federal troops have been
ordered to North Carolina. The fact that
the Governors Aid telegraphed these state
ments to the Governors Secretary, and
their prompt publication, show the i'm
portance attached thereto.
Governor Holden seems lately to have
surrendered himself, body and soul, to the
guidance Of Senator John Pool, and dares
| to resist the mandate of bis master in this
matter no moro than he dared to make
any response when told by him, from his
seat in the Senate, that his famous procIa
nation of Instruction in Alamance arose
from 6 misapprehension''-in other words.
from ignorance
In that same speech was laid down the
programme to which the acton of the
Radical party has since been made to con-
form. In order to afford a pretext for the
use OF force IN the coming election, Senator
Pool declared there was secretly organized
unlawful opposition to the Reconstruction
Acts, and Of such a nature that the State
civil courts were pOwerleee to repress il.
ana that courts martial only conld cope
with this domestic violence" Ex-I
perlence, however, had shown that the
Federal troops, the officers and soldiers of
the United States regular army, could not
be made tools in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
parti6ans that between these troops and
the people of North Carolina there was no
bad blood, but, On the other hand, that
the people looked to them for protection
from the cutrages of the vagabonds whom
Governor Holden dignified with the name
of militia
In due course Of time, the way having
been prepared by the withdrawal of
United States troops, Governor Holden
proceeds to organize and equip, upon an |
extensive scale, troops who will know no
law save the will of their master. Our
people have learned to look to Federal
troops for protection from partisan op-
preston ct home. Their first thought, |
therefore, when threatened with Kirk and |
Clarke was to appeal to Gen. Grant to send
regular troops down here. That such
step was IN contemplation we know to be
the fact To meet this contingency this
interview between Gov. Holden and
Senator Pool and the President was
doubtless devised. Instead, however.
If being alarmed our people will be graft
led to learn that two additional companies
will be sent among them. Their only re-
net Will be that regiments ore not sent

MadCc, to be- present at series Oh tAltHt

pose Of testing the relative powers of the
engines in use on the Fesfiniog Road with
q new locomotive which had been built fot
the same road by a Mr. Fairlie. The com
petition was to he between the Welsh
Pony that being the name of the best

Fairlie's Little Wonder" The latter is
described as "a double bogle, ," being
composed of two engines on one
frame, both exercising tractive pow
er. The little ten ton motive
"Welsh Pony" was first put to work, and
after various tests it was found, as the
maximum Of its power, to be capable OF
drawing easily thirty-one slate trucks
weighing seventy seven tons, up a grade OF
one foot in eighty five. The =" Little Won

one hundred and twenty-five trucks, seven
passenger carriages and n boat carriage.
The weight Of the train was one hundred

eighty yards. ut might have been fear
ed. says correspondent of the London
Telegraph, that such diminutive affair
&c as the Little Wonder would have been
"beaten by such load and such road,

smoothness round the constantly recurring
sharp curves Of the mountain, overcame
the gradients with perfect ease, and made
the entiro journey from Port Madoc to
Festiniog-fourteen mjles-within less than
one hour. Among those who witnessed
this remarkable feat were English officers
connected with the Public Works Depart
ment of India, Royal Engineers from Bonn
bay, Civil Engineers representing the Ma
dras and the Northern Punjaub Railways,
and other Civil Engineers from Brazil and
Canada. The final test was the relative
consumption Ct coal. In this respect also,
the Fairlie engine demonstrated its supe-
riority by showing a saving over all other
engines OF fifty per cent. on tho weight

less than an ordinary plank road, doing
practically all the service of the heavy and

stock it is subject to very little wear and
tear. If this can be done successfully in
Wales, how much more SO can it be done

Franklin County. Cotton has been plant
cd extensively, to the neglect of corn. The
cotton prospect is favorable, but the cor

the farmers if they could be impressed
with the Importance of raising at least
enough grain for the home demand.

an appeal. furnishing, as it will, the best
evidence of our sincerity and honesty, and
of the existence of that feeling which citi-
zens shonld entertain for their govern
ment. 10 this appeal, thus formally and
publicly made, the Northern people, too,
will see overwhelming proof of the falsity
of the charges made against US, crown
ing evidence of the thorough, complete,
practical reconstruction of the Southern
people.
Let US then, by oil means, when the
time comes, take this plain common sense
course. The very fact that we intend to
do SO, will. if known, go far to avert
the danger. President Grant cannot re
fuse to send Federal soldiers to North
Carolina upon the demand Of her people
for protection without placing himself
aud his party in false position-a posi-
ton that cannot be maintained for q mo-
ment before the Northern people.
Governor Holden and his master, John
Pool, reckon without their host in thinking
they can, by any Jjaesse, prevent our play
ing the winning card which they know we
hole. These are times of wonderful
changes. But whether Or not it be q mat
ter of surprise that we should regard Fed
eral soldiers ss our friends, and that Gov
ernor Holden and lis master, John Pool,
should not consider them trustworthy, it
is none the. less fact. III the game now
being played the Federal soldier is the
winning card, and We hold it.
II VIC do not pursue this course, then it
becomes us we'll to consider how We can
avert the storm of war that is almost burst
ing over US. Without Federal interfer-
ence We must submit to the deprivation of
every political right or we must enter into
a civil war to maintain them. We want
no war. We plead for peace we are
tired OF bloodsbed and strife. Tue out

TELEGRAPH TO FAYErrrv1n1E.-We ha,

TELEGRAPH TO FAYETTEVILLE. We have
seen nothing, of late, in the Fayetteville
Eagle, relative to our last figures on the
proposition to establish line of telegraph
from this place to Fayetteville. We are
airs Il that Mr. McSween has gone over to
the enemy and has concluded to hereafter
give his aid and comfort to O proposed
line between Fayetteville and Raleigh.
But if our friends up in Cumberland will
but consider the matter carefully, and in
all of its bearings, they will readily per-
ceive the advantages of direct connection
with Wilmington.
The Lumberton Ro6eS0aiaa hos lately
endorsed the proposal and begs that its
town may be admitted to participation
of the profits and expenses OF the enter
prise. It's editor assures us that the people
of Lumberton will raise 50, 900 in further
ance of the project, and thinks, with much
reason, that the w, @. & r. r. r., which
ment Of the line, will give aid TO the ex
tent Of 81 600, perhaps more. This 5000
would therefore be just about one half the
cost of the limo, which, when erected,
would be about 100 miles in length via
Lumberton to Fayetteville.
IF Lumberton and the W., G. & Il. II. Il.
will together raise $4,000, we think that
Fayetteville and Wilmington could easily
secure the same amount, which will be all
sufficient to build and equip the line.

Col. VILLA m lG, Hill.

| During the session of the Conservative
Congressional Convention which recently
| met at Goldsboro', Col W. e. HILL, of
Duplin, who has been acting with the Re-
publicans, announced his separation from

credit upon Col. HILL. If honest men,
