It appears that Geo. Grant has be
come convinced, after a careful reading
of the testimony offered in the Fits
John Vorter court-martial and the docu
ments tow accessible, that Porter has
been u r justly condemned. The Gen-.
era!, in an interview with s Tuna re
porter, Monday, expressed hisaself as
satisfied that he had been ! mistaken
hitherto, and that ao examination of
the oiders ami reports of the Confed
erate otScers engaged iaV the second
battle of Ball Kaa had couvioced hies
that Porter w s well informed aa to the
whereabouta of the rebel army, and
that his movements were made intelli
gently, and that ho did his whole duty
ta that disastrous afatr. Possibly, the
general public, uninformed as it must
be concerning military matters,, has re
ceived a wrong impression ol the real
merits of this celebrated case. It hss
beta generally supposed that; Porter
disobeyed orders, etuic up bis Indi
vidual opinio against that of his coat
msndicg cScer. Pcrhapa the central
public is all wrocg t this, but it ; will

The Wilmington and teldon Rail
road Company with wise forecast have
determined to build a branch' of their
road from Wilson via Fayetteville to
Florence, South Uardliha. It is claimed
that this short cut will save about
seventy miles in the distance traveled
by through passengers between the
north and south. The building of a
road on pr near this line, we have re
garded only as a question of time, and
since its' construction, must interfere
somewhat with the business of the coast
line, the W. & W. R. R. Company,
which constitutes a very important link
in that line, may by anticipating what
is probably inevitable, reap advantages
from the ownership of this line, and
prevent an injurious competition with
the coast line. Whether this be their
motive or not, we cannot but regard
with a friendly feeling the construction
of an important link in the great rail
road system from north to soutb, run
ning 'as it will by our doors, and placing
this town at once on the great highway
of travel, '.f- .
Mr, Bridgers, the President of the
W. & Wi Railroad and of the W., C. &

note of the topography of this i region,

purpose of surveying the route. Fay-,

" Da v'.d Monat, a respectable man of
Philadelphia,! who. wns indicted for
changing.the election returns in a ward
of that citt, after considerable delay in
the trial, finding that he could not es
cape the clutches of the law officers,
brought his case to a termination by a
full confession of his crime, hoping no
doubt, in that way to lighten the penal
ty. But his pffence was a flagrant one,
and was committed with deliberation.
The Judge sentenced him to pay a fine
of $1,000 and spend two years in pris
on." Salisbury Wdlchman
i Monat beine detected, was indicted
and brought" to trial, like all rascals
should be, and the crime of which he
was charged being both proven and ac
knowledged, he received from an up
right Judge a scathing rebuke for his
wrong doing; and fined and sent to pri
son to punish his wicked deed. This
was Republican justice. x ' .
. But how stands the case with Bimilar
offences here in North Carolina,! with
Democrats. At the late Presidential
election, laise returns in several east--,
era counties were made by Democratic
"poll-holders'' and judges of election,
falsifying many townships and wholo
count5 es, largely Republican, and count
ing them for Hancock; and more or less
prac ticed all over the state. These un
lawful and dishonest acts are notorious
and well know, but no Democratic"
Judge has been known to charge a
grand jury to investigate such cases,
to protect the' sacredness of the ballot,
in the hands of a jy party. Could jus
tice be done these offenders, the prisons
of the state would contain many "Mo
nats." ; . : I :

A Runaway LocoMOTiTBt'A very
exciting scene becurred at the W. & W.
R. It. jcpot a few days since, - A yard
engine was waiting on a 'side track for
the local freight train to come in, and in
the meantime some one inadvertantly
changed the switch. Soon afterwards
the local freight came thundering in,
and, of course took the aid? trackl: The
consequence was that the freight en
gine collided with he yard engine with
sufficient force to send it bounding
down the track and through the ware
house, running into two cars and dam
aging them to some extent, and causing
a wild stampede on the part of the nu
merous employees and Others along the
line of the exciting runaway. The en
gine was slightly damaged, but as lack
would have it, no serious injury result
