COAL FOR WAR SHIPS.


Economy Is now all the rage, ana perhaps In no
single instance Is II more strictly adhered to than in
the expenditure Of coal for our ships OF war;
Whether poor Captain Burgoyne was actuated
with q strong desire To conform to the stringent
order issued by the Lords OF the Admiralty to the
effect that coal for steaming purposes not to be
used except in the most urgent case, cannot say.
5uilce it that the Inflated ship had not her steam

that f she had, the captains number would still
make one on the British Navy List. However, the
saving In the consumption OF fuel as a matter
which is attracting much attention now at White
hall and among the engineer officers OF the navy.
On Wednesday last one of our new corvettes was
taken to the Maplew Sands and put through variety
Of experiments, one ofw which was the commencement
of series ordered by the Admiralty TO be made
TO ascertain the advantages OF "reheater,n with
which the vessel Is fitted. She also has a
pair OF compound engines. The reheater is one OF
Cowper's. The trial on wednesday last was at an
Approximate speed Of eight knots, which will be
the average carried out through all toe trials. II is
generally considered that great saving in fuel will
be made. and the results are looked forward to with
some little interest by engineers Two more trials
are ordered to bc made. to test the advantages OF
the s'reheater and ascertain whether the saving OF
fuel already attained Is due or to the compound
htgn and low pressure cylinders, or the whole COM

From every part of the county, indeed
from assembled Republicans from every part
of the State, comes the voice of approval
of our late action in Convention. The
people are enthusiastic. Anxiety for the
future, chagrin at defeat in the State at
large, jubilance over triumphs elsewhere,
renewed confidence in Republican principles,
horror at Democratic per6dy, are all com
bining to rouse the people to action. They
mean to show that the Republicans of North
Carolina may be cast down, but cannot be
destroyed. Their voice IS, Rejoice not
against me, o mine enemy though fall l
shall arise again pr z
We record, with qualification and pride,
that like unanimity is manifested in
Craven. The people are already agreed, that
their motto shall be Union" Our foes are
baffled. There will be no split in Craven.


From New Hanover all the indications are
equally cheering. New Hanover, the home
of the lamented Galloway, will do honor to
his memory, by the choice of a good man
and true blue Republican. -

When body of men, having no common

Our readers will be amused at hearing
that journal that in one column denounses
as an unmitigated falsehood our charge that
the Democratic party purposes to call a Con-

same number of its paper, to the extent Of a
column. The ink of the one article could
hardly have had time to dry before the other
was written. That is somersaulting with a
vengeance. We recommend the friends Of
that agile youth to keep him at home, or the
next circus may cabbage him.

The sheriff was the leading spirit of the
