Vast Preparations for War.

From the Cork Reporter. July rs.
All kinds OF British stores and materials for war
like purposes are to be put In state Of readiness
Efforts for that purpose are being made at the Royal
Arsenal and other government establishments at
WoOlwich. In accordance with an order from
the War ONCE, to the effect that everything was
to be placed In state OF efficiency, working
party proceeded yesterday from the Royal Carriage
Department to the grand depot for the purpose Of
overlooking and repairing where necessary the
stores, consisting OF gun carriages and ilmbers be-
longing to the Royal Artillery Siege trans together
with the reserve stores for artillery. These are re-
quired by the artillery only when on active service,
and have not been used for some years. Great
activity prevails In most Of the departments In the
Royal Arsenal. Yesterday morning over 300
men and boys were taken on In the Royal
Carriage Department. about 100 smiths and
100 carpenters were entered. Tho remainder,
consisting Of lab0rers and boys, were taken
Oh In the Royal Laboratory Department. The In
the square facing the main gate OF the arsenal was
one we have not witnessed since tue close Of the
Crimean war.
The square was literally flied with workmen
anxious TO gain employment, many OF whom had
come from long distance lCr that purpose. AT
nine O'Clock they were allowed to go down to the
department with the other wOrkmen, and the au-
th0rties selected those they required The greater
part Uf the day was occupied by the medical Officers
Ill passing those engaged. The number OF hands
will be increased In most Of the departments until &C
least the reserve stores are placed on the ordinary
peace footing, below which sOmo time since they
have been allowed 10 sink.

Wars and rumors of wars, coalitions and rumors

turb the equanmity Of English statesmen and
cause something like CONSERVATION at the Court.
Taxed beyond the powers Of physical endurance,

The Question Of Belgium.

" IUNUUNI JUIy 20 I5IO.
The English interest In the war Is strength.
ened and intensified by the apprehension that Great
Britain viii ultimately be drawn into the quarrel
Grave fears are entertained that such may be there
sult and already preparations are being made py
the government to prepare for such an emergency.
Belgium is the weak point SO far as England is con-
cerned. John Bull Is bound to that little dependency
alike by treaties and by personal connection. The
that of Brussels and the prevailing belief is that
tho neutrality Of Belgium is violated by either or the
sword.

The weekly standard., 1870-07-20

For years the loyal men of this State have
been held subject to a terrorism which
would do credit to revolutionized France
They have suffered every outrage which
the annals of crime can furnish with n
namt. For some of their sufferings words
have not yet been found. These they have
suffered without retaliation; they have SUI
fered patiently and in silence, looking to the
courts for their redress.
This redress. through the blacklist perjury
and fraud, they have not been able to obtain
in single instance. The civil law has
proved powerless. This no ono pretends to
to deny What refuge is there for
them then: Nought save the strong
arm of military power. None of us wish
to resort to the last extremity, nor
to be laid under the burden OF taxes Tins
brought upon us. But above all considera.
tions of dollars and cents is the life of tie
humblest citizen, and the poor and lust of
the community. In these all must have pro
lection, and as the civil law cannot give it
to them the military must be called upon.
All the trouble resulting from the use of the
military be upon the heads of those who
have provoked it and made it necessary.
We are officially informed that the troops
will only be used where the peace of the/
community shall require it and impcrativel
demand it.

Astounding DevelOpments-HOw the
President has been Mlsled, &c., &c.

The Sentinel of yesterday has an article
thing of the kind yet issued.
They certainly are astounding They
have astounded us, they have astounded
Gov. Holden and Judge Settle in fact they
have astounded every body. The editor of
that paper certainly does not favor the
father of his country in one thing at least.
Artemus Ward said George Washington
would never have succeed as the Washing
ton correspondent of New York paper.
He lacked the requisite Imagination The
en- tmel man don't
But 70 come to the gist of this Astound-
ing Developments"
The Sentinel states that the Republican
party secured the murder of Stephens for
political purposes, and that the very slight
light, more than yOu think for, which was
thrown upon the case, pointed to the League
as the murdcrcrs This the Sentinel knows
or ought to know is as false as false can be.
1t docs not believe it itself. 10 knous it
is not true
The other " developments arc on par
with this. They are false. They arc known
to he false The Sentinel knows them
. to be false. No conspiracy was ever formed
save in the midnight meetings of the dam
nablc Kuklux. Nobody has ever deceived
or attempted to deceive the President, save
such as the Sentinel and its hackers, Gov.
Bragg and others. Judge Settles visit to
His Exccllcncy was one simply of compli-
mcnt. The President never stated that he
had studied the laws of North Carolina
The Sentinel knows he never said it. 1t
knows he could never have had the time to
do so.
The statement of outragcs is known 10 be
true 1t has never been denied by those
who have any chance Of knowing. The
Sentinel itself has not denied save in its
astounding developments"
THE Sentinel sSys that it is False, that their
is proof that ninety citizens OF Caswcll were
implicated in the murder of Mr.. Stephens
Ho,o does the Sentinel kn0ao Does IL kn0ao
ere'y thing about that murder? But we beg
it to let the State government attend to that
matter. We will however say one thing for
its benefit. The murderers of Stephens
wM be punished and that soon
MIR. Turner tells the Kuklux to behave |
themselves. We tell them it would be well |
for them to do so. The strong arm of power
is hanging over them and woe bctide the |
men on whom it shall fall.
The Sentinel states it has proof of what
it says. Let it produce it.

Col. Kirk end His Command.

| Yesterday Col Kinks command was
mustered into service, and our correspond
ent attended. He spoke in the highest ant
most complimentary terms of the appear
ancc of the men and their camp. Every
thing was neat and orderly.
At dress parade held after the muster
Col. Kirk presented their Commissions to his
officers, and took the opportunity of making
to them short but pregnant speech. We
were wrong in saying speech, it was a talk
firm but kind in its tone, beftting one who
commands. Tic Colonel in substance, said
81 feel honored in presenting to y,u gentle
men, the commissions given you by the
Governor of North Carolina 1 hope you
will never do anything to disgrace them. I
am responsible for the conduct of every man
in the regiment, and expect every officer to
take upon himself his portion of the re-
sponsibility
l will feed aid clotbc you well. and will
do everything in my power to make you
contented and happy; but remember that I
command this regiment, and that will ex
pect strict discipline and obedience from all
Gov. Holden has given me my instructions
and l intend to carry them out. He will
order nothing but what is right, for he is a
kind and good man, so you will never be
called upon to perform any wrong action.
Obey my orders, and do nothing without
orders. Interfere with no man and no mans
property. Do nothing disortlerly or mean
Every man will be held strictly responsible
for all of his misdeeds, and will be punished
as only military law can punish.
You know me. 1 never forget my prom
lse for reward or punishment. That is
enough.
