United States Senator.

KENANsvILLE, N. c., Sept. II, 1870.
Messrs. Editors Il have since the elec-
ton been, though quiet, yet interested
observer of the proposed names and the
claims of the several gentlemen mentioned
for the United States Senatorship. While
I am free to acknowledge, with pleasure,
the qualifications of these gentlemen with
out distinction, cannot but beg the
privilege of expressing my partial regard,
on the part of myself and the numerous
friends of Col w. A. Allen, for him as
one eminently fitted to fill the distinguished
place. It was highly gratifying to bis
friends to see his name brought forward IN
recent number of the "Star, J." and they
desire to see his name urged to the extent
that his position as n gentleman, Conser-
vative and statesman deserves.
To urge Col. Aliens name on the ground
that he is q gentleman, Conservative
and statesman might be sufficient to
crafty his best friends or even himself
but these are times when every one who
feels deep interest in the good OF his
country naturally desires secure repose
in the knowledge of the peculiar and char
acteristic ability of the man to- handle the
affairs of the nation with judgment, man
illness, gentleness and effect. Aman whose
dignity would not allow him to deVlate
from reetitude, whose Conservatism wouiu
not allow him to indulge in political bick-
erings, and yet one whose manly, fearless
craftsmanship would ever guarantee Urn
and resistless hold on his people rlgn.s,
While we, his friends, acknowledge sne
? personal qualification it would afford us u
see COL Allen thus honored, we feel tna'
, we urge his claims on higher grounds-on
; the ground that the troublous times ae

United States Senator,

We publish communication to-day re-
commencing Colonel WILLIAM A. ALLEN,
Of Duplin, as candidate for the United
States Senate. Colonel ALLEN is we'll
known in North Carolina, and has labored
long and with conspicuous ability for the
cause which has been triumphant in the
late election. The estimation in which be
is held at home is shown by the very large
vote he received in tho Senatorial District
in which he has just been elected to the
State Senate. His disabilities having been
removed by Congress, there is no barrier
to Colonel ALIENS taking his seat, if cleo
ted, consideration which must not be
disregarded by the Legislature.

Comparisons are Od1Ous.

General Phil. Sheridan, whose exploits
with the match box surpassed his teats
with the sword, being present at the sur
render of the French Emperor and Mar
shall MCMAHoN's magnificent army, told
BISMARCK that it reminded him of the sur
render of General LEE at Appomattox II
General LEES command had been as
strong and we'll armed as the French
army which surrendered at Sedan, he
could have dictated terms of peace upon
Boston Common or within the streets OF
Chicago
The Richmond Dispatch thus refers to
this vainglorious declaration of the Fed
eral officer
General Sheridan was kind enough to
say to Bismarck that he could only com
pare the surrender of Napoleon to that OF
! General Lee A painful limitation of the
range of comparison, indeed and yet the
astnte General Sheridan must have seen a
resemblance in the two surrenders that no.
BODY else has been able to detect. Napo
leon only surrendered himself after
thirty days war General Lee surrender
cd his army after fonr years struggle
against the odds of three and four to one
Napoleon WAS Emperor of great nation
whose resources were equal to those OF hi
enemy. General Lee was republican
general who surrendered $4,000 musket
70 force of 5O,O00, after four years
hard fighting. General Wimpffen surren
dered McMahon's army of 100, 600 excel
lent and we'll armed troops, who were de-
feated and forced to surrender, though
they had the Notifications of Sedan to CO
operate with. them. These surrendered t.
an army only twice their number. Tn
Confederates were seldom favored by tn
odds of only two to one against them. An
SO with all these differences the great Shel
idan could only compare the surrender c
Napoleon to that of General Lee. Wei

The LOSS OF THE CAPTAIN. British IRON

THERE is q serious split in the ranks o.
the Republican party in Alabama one
faction, headed by Senator Spencer, declar-
ing that there have been eleven hundrsd
ssssssinstions in the State in the last two
years and that the Governor has failed in
his duty By not calling out military force,
while the other side, headed by the Cover.
nor, contends that the State is, as q whole,
peaceful and law.abiding, and that the
courts are not only unresis,ed in the exer
else OF their functions, but fully able to deal
with oil current crime. The location of the
whole squabble is that Spencer desires a re-
election to the Senate, and, knowing that
his only chance is bayoDes legislature,
fnbricates his bloody tales. The Governor
having no interest that way tells the truth,
and the Senator OF course hates him.
