If one of the grist gatherers for the .outrage mills of the New Yibrk Tribune or Times could have been with the conscien tious and truthful writer of the Atlan- tic, what a budget of horrors he . would ihave Collected, and how he would have"fired the Northern heart" with hair-breadth escapes, and with murders and whippings ad nauseam, "blow the horrid deeds in every eye." --f But the Atlantic writer is not of that ;8ort. He undertook the journey "with the sole purpose of seeing as much as ppssiDie ot tne touthern people, ot all classes and both' races', and ofTepprt- ing with colorless accuracy, what he (I) might observe." ?- ' - -t ; ;I He gives a long, minute account of theaynegrpes in ;m"ay kept from voting.- The main way" : of accomplishirig this is by challeng ing negro voters and thus consuming time. , The arrangements are v varied to suit the circumstances.

We copy few ; lines from his long dis cussion of the whole matter. He says: , tl , 1 J - ' j ! : "The best and least objectionable method of counteracting these evils, and of ward ing off the perils which thus threatened to ; euguii. uib oouiu in uDanuiu, social f ana moral ruin, has seemed to Southern men to be the obstruction or 'management' for the time being of the right of suffrage in the hands of the negroes. So the blacks are in various ways hindered from Voting the Republican ticket; or their vote is in some way neutralized after it has been cast; This may not be done at every election, but it has been done recently in several parts of the South, and it is likely to: be done He thinks the accounts of outrages reported ' from time to time are fabri- . cations. , He. could hear of , none, I even" amonsr the ne-rroes.' that did. not belong to the carpet-bag ? days when the Ku Klnx were around. ; He says he "explored all the great black districts," and he does not believe that ontrages of much importance have occurred in many, yearsi j He says the Democratic leaders showed but . little partisan .feeling. They .wanted peace, . and ! were tired of needless antagonisms. He says there is deep feeling as to one point only: to keep their States "ont of the con trol of the present local managers of the Republican party in the South. He says this feeling arises from a full . conviction on their" part 'tb at "suchr 1 control i would result, wherever' it might be established,, in the complete prostration and ruin of all the inte-. rests and institutions- of civilized sot ciety. ( I He bears important testimony as to another point. He says the tnejrroes have progressed but little as a race, and are utterly unfit to exercise the. elective franchise. He says they "are entirely incapable of forming opin ions or judgments of theinown in re gard to political principles, doctrines, or activities.' He found some excep tions,' but not very, many. - We give one more extract, and it is edjfying, coming from an old Union soldier who fought the South for, years, and who is i besides a New .Lngland Ke publican. He says: ; i 'j -: ; ; "But as to anv. knowledee. I intelligence. or judgment, such, as should 6quip a man, even in-the lowest degree, for; the exercise of the right or power of suffrage, I cannot see that they know anything; about it, or possess it any more than sheep ao.- "j : 7 They have the 'right' to vote, under the law, but they have no real power or ability to vote.-, They do not and cannot choose; they have oq. knowledge of what is in- .volved on one side or the other. They have no : materials for an opinion or judg ment,' nor any ability to form j a preference or decision .regarding political matters. They know nothing of the position j doc-, trines. history, traditions, or aims of either, party, and they have ; no idea or notion whatever of then respective merits or prin ciples They simply vote ts they are told to vote by the local . Republican, managers, and that is the whole matter. So farms I can learn,' it seems probable . that they would yote for anything or any man bear ing the Republican name." i ( --f ; ;. v Ban Over and Killed on a Railroad. f James Beasley 'a well known deaf and dumb colored ' man of this city, who has been employed at odd jobs around Mr. Fred.

We received from a correspondent in Pender county, yesterday; morning, a com munication headed "Mysterious and Start ling," containing full particulars of the un accountable fc disappearance of - the little eight year old son of Mr. Geo W. Corbett, at Collie Creek; in that county, already re ferred to several times in the ' Star ' We had barely time to ; read it over when an other communication was handed in from the same source, which contained develop ments as mysterious and surprising as that which preceded it It seems that after a vigorous i search on Tnursday, the nun day since the disappearance of the child, and no discoveries having been made, it was finally accepted as the only probable theory, by the parents of4he child, -together with ,.his aged great uncle, Mr. Randolp Corbett, that he must be in a marsh in Col lie Swamp, which had only been partially ex plored. ; AH preparations were therefore being made to cut a path through it on the succeeding'day (yesterday), when, ; to the utter surprise of all he was suddenly dis covered approaching the house from the front gate. . The scene that followed, we are told, and can well imagine, was beyond the power of pen to describe. ; The aston ishment of the parents, who but a moment before were mourning the sad and mysteri ous fate that had befallen their beloved one, was only equalled by the' 1 jot that filled their hearts' to overnowingana ine happiness unspeakable that thrilled .their whole -beings, ' when they were bice more enabled - to; fold their little one in their loving arms and ; cry,- with one of' old, "My son that was lost is found."- Of a verity is truth stranger than fiction ! ; Who would require a more striking demonstra tion of it than is contained in the fact that a tender child onljreight years of age, re mains for five days and nights, without food or water, in a marsh so dense that possibly no human had ever before pene trated it, and then, at the moment when the Jast hope has vanished and despair has seized upon the hearts of the well nigh de stracted parents, and has settled its gloomy pall -upon the hopes and expectations of their hundreds of sympathizing friends, the little wanderer suddenly bursts m upon their astonished visions, guided by an un seen hand, and apparently In; his usual strength and vigor., We congratulate .the now happy parents on the auspicious desti ny which has so unexpectedly restored to their home and hearts the one they had mourned as lost forever. : J 7 j ,7, -r 7 In this connection, we are requested to say that Mr, George W.
