NEW YORK.
A Destructive Fire.

New YoRK, August 4-Last night fire
was discovered in the rear of No 40
Lawrence street, Newark. The flames
extended to Nos. Az and 40; and the
three buildings were entirely destroyed.
Loss, $4,000.
The fire which started on Tuesday near
Sprouke, and which threatened to spread
to the pine woods on the island, realized
the worst fears of the people, and from
eight to ten miles square of forest has
already been burned, with probability
that as much more territory will be over
run. The fire first ran in the direction
of the river road; the wind changing
yesterday, it burnt in a southwardly
course, toward village on the south
side Of the island

THE REIGN OF TERROR IN NORTH
CAROLINA.

The New York Journal of Commerce,
after Indignantly asking how long are
the Kirk and Holden outrages to last
says:
The Governor is trying on one OF those
games that European tyrants are IN the
habit of practising when they want 70
suppress free criticism Of their misgov-
eminent. They raise hullabaloo about
secret societies, plots, dangers to the
public welfare, ETC., and proceed there
upon, under cover of those pretexts, to
proclaim martial Jaw, throw respectable
citizens into prison, and then claim the
credit of saving the STATED This impos.
ture copied by Governor Holden, will
not deceive intelligent Americans. He
and his political myrmidons, and the
Administration that sanctions and abets
his outrages, will suffer for them when
the inevitable reckoning comes to be
made up.
Holden, when editing the Raleigh
Standard. was considered a pretty de-
cent man, and claimed to respect the
proprieties of life. He was an Old Line
Wing, but enrolled himself under the
Douglas banner. A few months there
after he was found among the little
giant /" most blatant detamers. knowing
the large heart of Stephen A, Holden,
ON one occasion shortly after, was about
to take his hand, when Douglas, in the
most cutting manner, turned his back
ON him. There never was better judge
of men than Douglas. In that respect
he was not second to "old Hickory =
himself. He knew Holden perfectly,
and though of the most forgivlng and
generous disposition, he knew the man
to be unworthy of confidence, if not be-
meath contempt. Such he has proved
to be, and more stupid in baseness and
rascality; in tyranny and malignancy,
deeper than Brownlow ever dared to be.
He has not even one virtue linked with
a thousand crimes.

The French Take Possession
of Gedseweiler,
But are Driven Out by
the Prussians.
English Vessels Depart for a
Secret Rendezvous. sl
PARTICULARS OF the LATE BATTLE.

LONDON, August 1.-Two vessels OF
the Contingent Channel Squadron sail
ed from Plymouth this afternoon Tor
secret rendezvous, probably off Belgium
coast.
BERLIN, August Another fight is
reported to have taken place at the town
of Gedseweiler. A detachment of French
troops crossed there and took possession
of the village. The Prussians then at
tackled and dislodged them from their
position in the village, when they re-
tired with loss Of nine killed.
Skrmishes may be expected all along
the line.
1t would seem that Prussia is anxious
that the approaching general engage
ment should occur on the soil of Father
land, in order that the work of her army
may be that Of repulsing the invaders.
PARIS, August News of the battle
of Saarbruck seems to have created but
little excitement here. No demonstra-
tons having been made.
LONDON, August 4-Evening French
official reports of the battle Of Saar-
bruck are particularly devoted to the
praise of the French Mitrailleur. At
the opening of the battle and while the
French troops we're forming, detach-
ment of Prussian infantry boldly adj
vanced from town and mounted the rail-
way embankment, which separated them
from the French position which they
prepared to charge. AT this moment
the battery of Mitrailleurs, mounted in
the rear of the French position, opened
fire and half the Prussan force were
left dead along the line of rails, and the
remainder disappeared. A second de-
tachment marched into the position and
met the same fate. The French are en-
thusiastic over the success Of their arms.
The distance was sixteen hundred
metres.
BERLIN, August 4.-The Prussian Off
cial report of the battle Of Saarbruck,
says, at ten in the morning a small Prus-
sian detachment held this town 1t was
attacked by three French divisions,
while a fire of battery of twenty-three
guns opened on the town, The Prus-
slams at two o'clock evacuated the town
and retired to the main position. The
loss was small.
Paris, August 4.--The Journal official
publishes the official statement of Duke
de Grammont, declaring that whatever
calumnies Bismarck utters are prompted
through fear, and that by his duplicity
and falsehood he forfeited all claims 70
belief N. arammont declares that it
was Bismarck who advised France to
annex Belgium. NJ Grammont states
that the revelations of the Russian
policy, made by Bismarck, we're Of o
character WHICH he prefers not to men
ton, not being DESTROYS Of repeating in
furious insinuations.
PEsrH, August THE President Of
the Hungarian Parliament in the closing
session announced to the Chambers that
the King and the nation recognized the
condition of strict neutrality as salutary,
and the Austrian army would secure the
maintenance of that neutrality and be
supported by it. Hungary contemplates
the future fearlesslY.

The election progressed quietly up to
this writing-twelve o'clock. We have
visited number of the precincts and
found voting going on actively. The
Radicals are working like beavers; Bar
bour Lewis is everywhere. The negroes
have possession Of the Seventh and
Tenth wards by sheer force of numbers,
and many white men go away in disgust
without voting. Jesse Forrest at the
Seventh ward, and others are doing faith
full work, challenging imported negroes
and rather retard the process of stutfing
the ballot-box with unnaturalized votes.
Our people have not turned out as
unanimously as the importance of the
hour suggests; nevertheless many Demo-
Gratis are hard at work, and we believe
the result will be a splendid victory. In
the Sixth Ward, at IL clock, two hun
dred and forty-eight votes had been cast.
In the Tenth Ward one hundred and
thirty-seyen votes were cast up to IL
O. clock, and in the Fifth Ward one hum
dred and sixty-three; other wards in
proportion. In the Seventh it was i'm
possible to get through the dense crowd
of Africa that held jubilee around the
door. Mr.. J. s. Mallory is running
well for constable, and will no doubt be
elected in the Fourteenth Civil District.
His opponent is a colored gentleman,
name unknown. On the whole, we think
that whoever gets a majority of votes
will be declared elected, and that the
Democrats will in cases receive round
majorities.

en- Mills were totally destroyed by fire
this morning. The fire was discovered
about three o'clock, and in short time
the whole building was wrapped in
flames. The entire contents were de-
stroyed. The fire department responded
to the call promptly, but could do moth
ing as its contents were saturated with
oil, but by strenuous exertions succeeded
in saving the warehouse adjoining the
factory. Mike Newman, an employee OF
Cumstock, Booth q Co., who was assist
ing the firemen, was instantly killed by
the falling walls, and fireman belong
ing to No. a engine was badly injured.
The loss of building, machinery and
stock is estimated at between $4,000
and 100000 Insurance on building,
material, etc., $4,000. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but supposed to be
spontaneous combustion.

The Daily News of this morning says
the French Government has declined
the services of Lee and Beauregard.
We find the above stupid announce
ment in the morning dispatches. Neither
Lee nor Beauregard made an offer Of his
services to Louis Napoleon. Their trade
of war ceased when the Confederate
Government went under. Though great
commanders. they have not abjured the
arts of peace, and the former in partieu-
lar is devoting his vast energies and
attachments to the instruction and de-
velopment of his young countrymen.
Neither Of them could ever become a
soldier of fortune, and certainly they
owe no allegiance or debt of gratitude to
the reigning power of France, that
offered no coincidence when dark, por-
tentous clouds lowered above the grand
cause Of freedom. We want to hear no
more such nonsense as Of either Lee or
Beauregard offering to serve in the
French army.

A LYING SHEET.

The most unblushing thing in the hui
man form the most notorious liar in any
shape. connected with the press, IS per-
mitted to caterwaul through the columns
of the Little Rock Republican, under
the editorial mark We do not know
him. and would not for all the muskets
that Clayton's DULLES sent to the bottom
of the Mississippi from the steamer hes
per. A short time since we had occa-
sion to show up a most atrocious false
hood, put forth by this slanderer, on the
good name of our city. A more thor
ough, unprovoked, original te could not
be conceived. The father of lies could
not have invented one ofblacker hne and
character, and the mendacious Radical
knew that it did not contain the remotest
shadow of truth when he penned 1t. In
stead of apologizing for his trumped up
faIsehood, the scavenger of the press re-
iterates his gross charge, and seeks to
vindicate himself by alleging that
some time ago somebody at Mem
phis told exaggerated stories about
the villainy of Clayton's band of cut
throats, and it was now time to be even
with them. We do not remember that a
single charge was ever made by Mem
nbis newspaper against that lawless set
of cut-throats and villains that was not
substantially if not literally true. They
were banded to plumber and murder and
their atrocities went far beyond any
thing that ever met the public eye, and a
life of penance extended to the age OF
Mcthusalah, worn in sackcloth and ashes,
could not atone for their horrid crimes
inflicted on the people Of Arkansas by
their despotic Governor. ii the tbetts
and robberies and murders committed Ia
Arkansas under the sanction and color
of law could be detailed, the columns Of
the Republican newspaper, for whole
twelve month, could not contain the
record. To make it appear that other
communities are as lawless and unscru-
pulous as were clayton's hang-dog
bands, is task even more hercuiean
than can be accomplished by the unmiti
gated liar of the Republican.
