1 Tb- prouriss of settlement west sf
the Mis'idsippi in the past fifteen years
has been simply prodigiousj Hardly a
mountain but has been prospected for
gold and silrer; and now prosperous
firms and cattle ranches exist where
ten years aro no man could venture.
This is largely due to tbe soldier; but
in an equal if not greater Measure to
the adyenturous pioneers IthemselTes,
and to that new and great est of cirili
zers, the railroad. The PaiiSc KaiN
road from Omaha to San Francisco is
daily trsreled in as much safety as from
New York to Chicago. The Southern
Pacific Kail road is approaching com
pletion, rarersing Kansas, New Mex
ico, Ariz ns and Southern California,
soon to unhide Texas and New Or
leans. The Northern Pacific Railroad
is making rapid progress from llismarck
wesiwartju These railroads are pene
trating every valley and every district
of country which ho'.d out an induce
ment to settlement. The railroadshaye
completely revoluiiuined our country in ,
the past few yeas, and impose on the
military an entire change of policy.
Hitherto we have been compelled to
maintain small posts along; wagon and
stage routes of travel. Tljise ate no
longer reeded, because no jonger used,
and i he settlements which crow up
speedily aloDg tbe new railroads afford
the security necessary, and tbe regular
stuii'M.s, built for storage at convenient
rl stances, afford the ; necessary sueltsr
for jttun s, and for tbe men when opera
ting io the neighborhood.
The ords below in relation to tbe
colored enlisted men in the Army are
so bold and noble that we
quote them
entire, s a refreshing vindication of
the devlion of the Army
to the Con
stitution and law, and regard for that
part of the Army which is
colored:
' .COLORED MEX IX THE ARMY
In this connection I desire to fctatc
that in my judgment the
that nil the enlisted men of the 'Jth and
10th Cavalry, and of the 21th and 25th
Infantry shall be colored men, whilst
tbe officers are white, is not consistent
with the mendment to the Constitu
tion referred to. All men should be
enlisted who are qualified, and assigned
to regiments regardless of color or pre
vious condition. Such has been the
law and usage in the Navy for years,
and the Army would soon grow accus
tomed to it. No body of men on earth
has more reverend for the Constitu
tion and the laws than the Army, and
I pledge my own and the good faith of
all in the service to enforce faithfully
eyery part of the Constitution of the
United States and every law ' made in
pursuance thereof. General SSchofield
is abundantly able to enforce the laws
and regulations of the Academy.
We have not room for more of this
admirable report of the great General
of our. Army, who is a statesman as
well as a great soldier. It has always
beti f-e average opinion of Americans
that the treatment which tho Army re
ceives from Congress, is incompatible
wiili the value of that impertantbranch
of the service to which the nation owes
so much even now in time of peace for
onerous service, and in ' which every
good thinking American looks with
pride. !

I sec the PoT is in demand ia these
times. The Icrnociats even are not
able l rest well without borrowing it
to si e what you say abou them and
the election. As a plain citizin I have
made up my mind to let you know the
news iu Pender, and what the Demo
crats are about. The; are letting
themselves down some siuce Garfield
beat them so badly. They are scared
about their man Sharkleford not Uk-
ing his rrat. I have txco watching
their capers aod chat. Soape of them
think he can come it. A portion think
Ginadaj will be adai.ted in pllccof
Shackle ford, and a good many of them
r ying that Congress will, order
a new election. I see by your paper
thatCanaday will contest lor tbe seat,
ami hi tight. He is a popular man
io our County and got Democratic
votes and a good many more of that
party will vyte for him if the thing has
to be tried cVer, lie was cheated out
of UU elect bn by lVmocralic mean

I hear that the young niau who tat

times. I mean at Roeky Point. All I
want is a fair deal. We did not have it
in this election and I, am for ripping
up things and for justice. The Demo
crate are hoping to get Ward in for
sheriff over Williams. The people
wanted Paddison for sheriff again. It
was the very thing for our party that
bad men of his owu party tricked him
out of a nomination, Ward is a aorry J

of their l ite county ticket any way. . I
will except Dr. Lucas, who is smart.
He did not go around, because he hated

To the Editor of Tost:
I write the following letter to show
to the world what a free ballot and a
fair count means iu Halifax county:
It has been rumored around that
Halifax couDty had gone Democratic.
In justice to myself, and to the colored
cit zens of Halifax county. I write Ibis
letter in order to t-how -u 1k;w the
couuty did go Democratic. One reason
I give, is,, in llrinkh y viile towusbip
800 Republicans were prevented from
voting.- (Second. In Caledonia township
250 Republicans were prevented Iroin
voting. Third. In Enfield township
200 Republicans were', prcventid from
voting. Fourth. The registration books
of Rutterwood township were Ktulen,
which kept 400 Republicans from
voting. Aud in Palmyra township UK)
were prevented from voting, and what
is worse than all, Hulifax township
that gave the whole ticket from the
logislalire candidate to the President,
500 Republican majority . was thrown
out, pimply becaure the names on each
ticket were not read aloud.
And in Enfield township where the
Republicans had a nij"ri'y of five or
six hundred with a. fair count, and
where all the .colored people voted the
solid Republican ticket, at i igbt, after
the voting, the poll-holders arjourned
and went to supper, each irao or rather
(toll. holder taking with him two or
three oNhe boxes. After supper. they
came back and counted out the votes.
It turned up in the count that tho vote
of reven hundred Republicans, had by
some means been changed to Demo
cratic votes, Mr. Hubbs was given 79
votes, A. J. Jackson the Republican
candidate for the Senate was given 89
votes, and II. E. Davis 100 and R. J.
Mayo 100.
The Democratic Legislative and Con
gressional tickets received as follows:
W. H- Kitchen C85 majarity, W. H.
Day CoG majority, d. Wi taker the can
didate for the Senate CS5 majority.
Fiva hundred men in this township
will swear that they Voted the solid
Republican ticket from Constable" op
to Presidential Electors. I hope no
one ail! thiak tbe colored pcaple voted
the Democratic ticket in this county,
as an assertion of. that kind is an infa
mous falsehood. '
Yours respectfully,

P., The Republicans of Halifa;
county elected their whole ticket from
Coroner up to State Senator. The
Dratccralic Returning Board consisting
of 0 Democrats and 2 Republicans,
