" ' v ; - The Maine Election. ;
The gain on their tanner 'majority by the
Radicals of Haine, has produced consider
able excitement in the political jrorkL ihe
New York World attaches but little impor
tance to it from the fact that, the gain, was
in New England, of which the World ex
pects nothing. It looks for different re

The New York Herald, however, is com
pletely vanquished by the unexpected re
sult and mates haste to set its sails to -what
if Anulprs the popular breeze. It declares
; favor of the Constitutional Amendment,
and the Congressional programme general
ly, and calls upon the President to adopt
it It predicts unbroken defeat to the Con
servatives in the autumn elections, and the
certain triumph of the anti-administration
party. The following extract will show the
new position of that time-serving sheet,
which, curiously enough, in its very next
article, attacks Mr. Raymond for being a
"trimmer :"
From the elections which have occurred
since the Constitutional amendment was
adopted by Congress for the reconstruction
of the Southern States, we are satisfied that
that amendment is to become the basis of
Southern restoration that it -will carry and
be carried by all the Northern State elec
tions yet to come, and that -with New Jer
sey It a.ling off it will be ratified by them
alJ and become part and parcel of the su
preme law of the land. Nor have we any
fear of the consequences. There is notic
ing, after all, so very objectionable in this
amendment nothing which President
Johnson himself has not, at one time or
another, recommended to some Southern
State or to Congress, and nothing upon
which there should have been a disagree
ment between the President and Congress.
This amendment is the reconstruction
plan and platform of Congress, and there
is no good reason, we say, why it should not
have been adopted also by the President,
inasmuch as he stands committed in some
shape to all its provisions. It ia not the
platform of Tiiaddeus Stevens, Sumner, or
any of the noisy Radicals of Congress.
They can do nothing. It was adopted
against their remonstrances and in spite of
their threats. It embodies substantially, in
fact, the President's original programme,
and if carried in these coming Oct. and Nov.
elections as we predict it will be, from Mas
sachusetts and New York westward we trust
that the Administration, in deference to the
will of the people, will come back to it.
Why not? Surely this amendment engraft
ed upon the Constitution will be amply suf
ficient for the restoration of the Union, in
ternal peace, sectional harmony, and'the se
curity of the Government and treasury, for
many generations to come, against all dis
turbing factions of either section. Parson
lirownlow, in leading off with the State of
Tennessee for the ratification, has shown
that a good thing may be done by a bad
man for a bad motive ; but that Tennessee
should thus lead off for this amendment is
a very remarkable and significant fact that
New Jersey should next follow is almost as
strange ; but from good or bad designs,
thus started, the amendment will surely go
through.
The President's quarrel and rupture with
Congress was an unfortunate mistake. From
recent events, South and North, it is clear
that it will prove a fatal blunder to his ad
ministration, unless he abandons it as the
issue before the people.
Meeting of tlie Governors Is Tlicre Xot
.Revolution A lie ad 1
IToru the New York Herald of Saturday.
The secret conclave of the Radical Gov
ernors of the Northern States in Philadel
phia, after the adjournment of the Con
vention on Tuesdav last, is one of the most
significant and alarming signs of the times.
A 7ortion of the proceedings leaked out,
ami the correspondent of the Herald gave the
public the benefit of that on Wednesday
last. But we have the strongest reasons
for saying that the question then ventilated
about dodging negro suffrage was not the only
or most mqortant one discussed by this con
clave. It is understood that a revolutionary
programme was entertained looking to fu
ture political contingencies that is, to pre
pare arms and efficient armed State organi
sations for a conflict with the Conservatives,
and possibly with the President, in the
event of the Radicals being in danger of
loiDg their power through the result of the
fall elections. It is evident that these really
dangerous leaders of a dangerous party are
determined to hold on to their power at all
hazards : for, as Governor Cony, of Maine,
said, if they lose it now " then all is lost."
They are doubtless prepared to impeach
and remove the President and to place Ben
Wade or some other violent Jacobin in his
place, and would resist the legitimate pow
er of the Executive to the extent of calling
out the militia of the States.
Eleven Governors of States, besides ex
Governors and Lieutenant-Governors, com
posed this new secret Jacobin club. The
violent declamations of the miserable fire
brands, male and female, black and white,
in the Convention and at public meetings
in Philadelphia, might not be regarded as
verv serious ; but it is far different with the
secret meeting of a body of men who have
the executive power of eleven Northern
States in their hands.
There is danger ahead, and it behooves
the Conservative masses of the North to
look to it. As to the South, there is no
danger there. The people of that section
have experienced the horrors of civil war
to such a degree and are so thoroughly
subdued that they will not try rebellion
again. The danger is at home. We may
have, before we are aware of it, a bloody
civil war in every State, county and city of
the North.
Paii.sox Blowxlow in Boston He In

NESSEE. Boston, Sept. 12. The "South
ern Loyalists" from the Philadelphia Con
vention had a reception this evening.
Horace Maynard advocated the perpetual
exclusion from political power of all who
voluntarily participated in the rebellion.
Governor Brownlow spoke of a conven
tion of rebels and copperheads that is to
meet at Nashville to overthrow the fjtate
government. He had notified Seward of
this convention, but he had replied in a
sneering and contemptuous letter, which
the speaker would shortly publish to the
world. However, he would call an extra
session of his Legislature, and would meet
that convention, i?i their efforts to over
throw his government, fully armed. He
had already applied to a Governor of a
Northern State for ten thousand arms, and
backed by thirty thousand boys in blue, he
had no fear of the result, unless the federal
government sent down its troops, led by
a copperhead general, if such could be
found. He concluded by declaring that
the hope of the South was in the elections
of the North, and he conjured the citizens
that if two Radicals weie before them as
candidates, to vote for the one that was
most radical.

FoRsrTHE County. A Convention in this
county recently nominated Capt. P. A. Wil
son, and E. B. Teague, Esq., for the Com
mons. We do not know Capt. Wilson's
present pob tical sla us. He is a most wor
thy citizen, and we cannot believe that he
will support the radical party in Congress
against the President. Ave think we can
safely say that he is a conservative that he
occupies a middle ground between the two
extremes, that he is in favor of the Presi
dent's policy and favors the re-election of
Governor Worth. E. B. Teague is an open
ed and avowed radical, lie boldy takes
ground in favor of Congress and against
the President s policy. He figured exten
sively in the meeting which sent Capt.
Tourgee to the Philadelphia Radical Con
vention, and we suppose he will oppose the
re-election of Gov. Worth. Will the people
of Forsythe elect a man of his political
principles to the Legislature ? We do not
believe that they will.
Charles Teague and John D. Waddell,
Esqrs., are independent conservative can
didates. Mr. Waddell is a stranger to us.
Charles Teague was a member of tho last
House of Commons. He was a consistent
Union man, but warmly sustains the Pres
ident's policy. lie also advocates the re
election of Gov. Worth. Vie wish him
success against the Radical, E. B. Teague.
Colonel J. M. Covington and James E.
Matthews, are candidates for the Senate
from the district composed of the counties
of Stokes and Forsythe. They arc both
conservatives. Both have had some exre
rience in legislation, and either will make

The only candidates for the Commons thus
far are Dr. I. W. Jones, Capt. Wm. H. Craw

Senate from the District composed of the
counties of Rowan and Davie. F. E. Sho

the day, these gentlemen all agree. They
are all for Gov. Worth, and they all sustain
the policy of President Johnson.
Whether there will be any other candi
dates for the Commons in this county we are
not informed. We have heard it intimated
that there would be others, but we think it

The Jujube Tree. We saw the other
day the fruit of the jujube tree rhamnus
zizypitus.) It is chestnut brown and about
the size of a small pluin, and has a dry,
pleasant, agreeable taste. The pit is hard
like the date seed, of similar size, but
pointed at each end.
This is the fruit used in pectoral decoc
tions, and to make the true jujube paste of
commerce.
The jujube tree stands the climate of
North Carolina very well. The two shrubs
or small trees of our neighbor's tire about
ten feet in height, and are growing out m
the open garden, and are filled with jujube
plums just ripening. It resembles a young
honey-pod locust in foliage, but more glossy
in the leaf. The tree blooms late, and is not
injured by the cold nights of spring, when
the peach, pear, apple and plum that bud
sooner are killed in the bloom, or shortly
thereafter by the April frosts. The fruit
ripens in September ; and was a curiosity
to us, for we were not aware there were any
trees of the jujube growing in the country.

Important to tlie Iron Interest of !lie Uni
tvl States.
The United States Consul at Sheffield,
England, under date of August 27, in a
communication to the Secretary of the Trea
sury, states that he was present at Notting
ham on the reading of a paper before the
British Association on the conversion of
melted cast iron into steel bv the pneuma
tic process. A discussion followed, which
was participated in by Mr. Bessemer and
other crentlemen. Consul Abbot further
savs that he called the attention of Mr
Bessemer to what has been stated by his
opponent to be a defect in his mode of con
verting iron into steel, namely, that when
large masses of melted iron, amounting to
from three to twelve tons, an? converted in
to steel, it does not become homogeneous.
Mr. Bessemer partly admitted the force
of the objection, but stated that in the
works near London an improvement has
recently been made by which, after the in
troduction of the Spiegel Eisen, the whole
is stirred up by arms fitted to a revolving
cylinder. He also stated that the iron of
the United fctates which he has seen was
peculiarly adapted to the manfacture of
steel by his process. In England only the
very best iron can be used ior tins purpose,
and that which is most free from foreign
substances, especially sulphur and phospho
rus. The iron which is chiefly used in the
Bessemer Works are varieties of red hema
tite, the best of which is found on More
cambe Bay. near Furness Abbey. Consul
Abbot closes bv saying: "Valuable as is
"
the invention of Mr. Bessemer, I cannot
recommend it to American manufacturers
unless they make use, in the process, of the
very best pig iron, and that which is com
paratively free from sulphur, phosphorus
and other impurities.
The following is an abstract of the re
marks of Mr. Bessemer, alluded to in the
communication of Consul Abbot : Before
the introduction of his process the entire
production of steel iu Great Britain was
one thousand tons per week, and now there
was machinery for the production, on his
process alone, of five thousand tons in the
i same period. One of the most valuable
i purposes to which his steel was applied was
the construction of locomotive engines and
rails. Where iron had been worn out in a
few months, steel rails had been in con
stant use for four years, at the end of which
time the first side was still in use. At
Camden Town there was a portion of rail
way over which an immense amount of
traffic passed. An iron rail and a Bessemer
steel rail were placed opposite each other,
and when the iron rail had been changed
seventeen times the steel rail was still not
worn.
The Bessemer steel was also valuable for
the manufacture of tires, the construction
of ordnance, shafts for marine engines,
cranks and notably for the cranks of loco
motives ; indeed there was scarcely any pur
pose for which malleable iron was formerly
used that steel could not now be employed.
A yard of the Camden Town rail, to which
he had referred, was sent to Sheffield to be
made into round bars, and came out of the
rolling mill in beautiful black bars, three
eighths, five-eighths, and three-quarter
inches in diameter, and were not worth
less than 18 per ton, the cost of conver
sion being I jss than 2 per ton. : In regard
to the price of steel, Mr. Bessemer said that
firms that had expended immense sums in
plans and machinery, desired ; at first as
large a return as possible ior their outlay,
but when manufacturers had been ..re
munerated for their .first large outlay :they
would be more : reasonable ; in their, de:
niands. . ,.
The price of cast steel in Sheffield for the
lowest purposes, such as making, shovels,
Mr. Bessemer said, was 36 to. .40 per, ton,
and the better kinds cost from 50 to 80,
accorrding to the reputation of the maker ;
bnt at this time thousands of. tons were be
ing sold at 13 per ton. ' -r .

and left,' until both sides of the street, from
Broad to Pollok,- were in a light flame; and
now. lie in aslies The vacant .lot between
Stevenson's corner ana the brick building
occupied now by Bobbins &' Co., checked
the fire in that direction, but' it swept dOwn
to Poilok,: and turning Dissosway's : old
corner swept everything up Pollok street to
the residence of Wm. G. Hall, Esq., which
building is now being blown Hp, three
heavy explosions having ! taken place sinte
wo commenced this writing, go that the en
tire block facing, Middle and Pollok streets,
from Stevenson's corner round to the Rail
road, may be considered a complete, loss,
and all that portion of ..Middle street, from
the Episcopal Church square up to the old
Court House corner. ' .
Nothing but the most' extraordinary ef
forts of the fire department saved the en
tire block on the South side of Pollok, be
tween Middle and Hancoek, which,' had it
caught, would have communicated to the
block bounded by Middle and Craven and
Pollok, and South Front, and thus swept
out the entire- business portion of the city.
So that, to arrive at a just estimate of the
services of the fire departments on this oc
casion, it is only necessary to estimate the
value of four entire squares of the business
part of out city, for without it no human
effort could have staid the ravages of the
devouring element until it had swept down
to the waters edge. Our whole male popu
lation was on the street, and all did what
they could.' The tops of the houses, in the
vicinity of the lire, were covered by citi
zens who by whetting blankets, extinguish
ing sparks, and extraordinary exertions in
various waj's, rendered incalculable services.
Tlie fire was so suddeu and spread so
rapidly that Mr. Nelson and family, who
resided on the second floor of his store
were compelled to jump from a second
story window in order to save their lives, in
doing which two female members were
slightly injured. We heard of one other
lady getting a limb broken by a similar pro
cess but did not learn the name, and sev
eral persons were more or less injured by
explosions and otherwise, but fortunately
we have heard of no lives lost.
The losses by the fire, of course, cannot
be estimated, but cannot fall short of one
hundred and fifty or two hundred thousand
dollars, and may be more. .-We could not
ascertain, but our impression is that very
few goods or other property were saved. '
By the ' extraordinary efforts of Capt. R. A.
Shotwell, assisted by the corps of Gaston
House waiters, saved nearly or quite all of
the stock of Henry W. Jones Sz- Co., on
Middle street, but as a general thing, we
think nearly everything was consumed.
This calamity will fall heavily upon many
of our citizens who had just began to re
cuperate from losses heretofore sustained,
and to gc"t into a condition to live.
We suppose the losses in many instances
were covered partially or wholly by insu
rance, but to what extent we. have, as yet,
no means of knowing.

That this devilish deed, was the work o

question. At the request of the City Coun

conviction of such party or parties, and has
called a meeting of the citizens of New

thought advisable for the relief of thesufier

now no hostile intentions. The Convention of

owing to protest of United States threats. .

The Russian who attempted to murder the

The Prussian Army.
To the Editors of the Evening Post: ;
Une 01 tne most aistinguisftea 01 our
generals in the West, during the civil war,
who travelled in Germany and Jb ranee on
the eve of the war between Prussia and
Austria, has recently sent a letter to this
country, from which the following extract
will interest the public :
" Tnere is no doubt that tne two mam
factors of the amazing success of the Prus
sians over the Austnans have been the ac
tual nationality of the army (which in Prus
sia is simply an armed generation), intelli
gently as well as stringently organized, and
the individual intelligence of each soldier,
inspirited by the great cause of Germany.
The universal system of . education estab-
lshed for the resuscitation of Prussia, after
the ruin of the battle of Jena, has borne
its fruit at Sadowa. These two great ele
mants, however, are wanting in the Aus
trian army.
"I saw a good deal of the Prussian army,
and from what I have seen lean understand
very readily that they were ; victorious
everywhere. JinLiiant spirit, most perfect
discipline, bravery and general; fitness for
soldiering and campaigning, above all, in
telligence in every face, was tne Character
istic sign of that nonpareil army td which
every able-bodied man belongs.
" Mow very different are tne pbysiogno
mies of the Austrian and (I say it without
hesitation) the French artnies ; all ' nicely
dressed and splendidly set up, true 'enough,
but no books and no maps and no news-
papers, 110 discussion on political topics

understands this all very well, and he there-

tail enquiry. The receipts for the week are about
6000 bushels, and we quote sales from wharf of
only 500 bushels Western mixed at $1, cftBh, and
2,209 do. do. at $1 bushel, SO days. - We quote

freely, and sell from carts at $1 25$1 50 y bush
el, insn are in very good supply, and dull of

Poultry. Market rather poorly supplied. Wo
quote livo chickens at .2545 cents, and grown
fowls at 5060 cents each, as to size.
Peovisiows. For N. 0. cured Bacox ihere has
been more enquiry since last report, and in tho
absence of receipts the stock has become very
light and is barely sufficient for present - wants.
We quote sales from store of a few parcels at 2-'
23 cents for hog round, and 2425 cents $ ft for
hams, as in quality closing firm with a fair de

$ lb for sides Lane There is little or no
North Carolina on market, and we quote at 22
25 cents. Northern is in moderate supply, and

ket rules firm for Northern, and prices are rather
higher ; there is, however, only a retail business
doing at prices quoted in table.

there is only a limited demand. We quote small
sales of Liverpool ground at $2 45$2 50 from

Shinqles. Only small lots coming in, Which
sell from boats at $2 25$3 for Common, and
$3 50$5 $ M. for Contract.
Timbeb. The arrivals continue meagre, owing
to the low stage of the water courses. There is.
however, very little demand at present for mill
purposes, and it is with difficulty that sales are
effected. Only 45 rafts' sold for tho week at
prices ranging within classified figures. See ta-
Wood Is in demand, and but little arriving.
We quote by the boat load at $2 75$3 for pine
and ash, and $3 25$8 50 $ oord for oak.
Fbeiohts The market rules about the same as
reported in our last. There is but httle country
produce now coming in, and the quantity of bar
rel freights offering shipment is rather small;
there is. however, some enquiry for Sailing vessels
to take lumber freights for both coastwise and for
eign ports, and fair rates could be readily obtain
ed. Our quotations in table are for rates by steam
and sail for coastwise ports.
