"The logic of Gen. Toombs' reuiafks
will hardly ctiutucnd itself to a seveie
analysis. The conclusion to be drawn
I trom his view would be 'hat u wili ary
j education unfitted a man for nn/itar)

of myself as a civil executive by recit
ing his us a soldier, but 1 forbear.
"In regard lo Gen. Tombs having
refused tbe presidency of the provision:;!

1 must admit that he was tu a belter
position to know the facts of the casi' i
than myself, as be was present when
the election was held, iud as a lueui
bcr ot the provincial I ongreies was a
party to the canvass and final choice,
while 1 was far away engaged in the ou
ties intrusted louie by the ooiiveiirum i

ing the reward duo to the self-abnega
tion of Mr. Tootnbs and lo the histori
icul importance of of the matter, that
he has not more specially stated in what
| manner and by whom the offer of which
, he declined was made to him, especially
,so since others who, liko Mr. Toombs,
were members of tho Provincial Cong-
I less were present and participating iu

CARS OF MAI.LKARLK Sfl^gL
The teriible result of the acodert
'«»» Friday on the Vermont (Yjtral
railroad have directed attention to. the
probable merit of a non-eombn Attile
steel car n * in prone., .f const nation
at li'igto 1 As de. i'rib d h out .og
ton correspondent, this car enmbines
novelty >f plan aid nietertals with a new
iretbod of ueating. Tho details of its
construction are therefore ot inor- tbau
ordinary interest. Tho oar ts to he

nal braces. \ compressible piatform
at each end will greatly lessen, if not
wholly destroy the force of a shock frou.
collusion, and avert the danger of teles
coping. The scats arc to be bolted to
the trick metal floor, as wt.ll as to the
bottom plates nf the car, so that they
wiil not be torn up and thrown around
in caso of an acuident. The clangor
and reveiberatton to be expected from
the justing of a boiler like apartment
will, it is claimed he amply provided
against bv the liberal use upan the in
terim surface of felt and hair paddings,
which together with the uphosterly stuffs
are to be treated with chemicals that
will render them incombustible. The
danger of fire is to be more certainly
averted by the use ot hot air for purpoi
es of beating, and by locating tho source
of heat outside tho cat of the trucks.
Air admttted thiougha valve undei the
hnod over the platform will pass through
pipes to the furnace, whence, aftei be
ing heated in the usual manner, it will
pass up i.ito the car through ordinary
registers : Thus constructed the car
will not cost, it is said more than wood
en cars now in use, and may cost less.
It will probably be found practicable to
make it lighter, and it will certainly
be more durable, as well as safer, than
the wood' n car. The material of which
it is mad i will pi rmit, and perhaps nec
essitate, some departure from the chape
taken by '.lie wo»du. s'.rnoture, but this
departure may he in the I n of iniprov
nient iu point of beauty and convenience
Sh' nIJ ;!ir enterprise of the l> u ». iii syn

I'IIE NORTH OAROLINA, WAY. j
A iiierehant in Goldsboro advertises [
the arrival of one car of bulk meat, one
car of mess pork, oue car of lard, two \
ears of flour, oue ear of timothy hay,
two cars of seed oats, one car of corn, ,
one car of bran, one car of ship-stufT and j
chops, one ear of bolted meal. A iner- \
•jhant in Concord informed us recently ;
that seven hundred and fifty barrels of!
flour were shipped t'i that point in one !
W 'ek. Thousands of dollars worth of
the above products are shipped to Win
mini, 'i oe great bulk of these things,
is si Id to farmers. The argument of
the farmer is, that he can buy them
cheaper than lie can produce them. We J
have seen men pay one. dollar per hun- |
dred for hay, who can produce it at
home at eight cents per bundr d, and [
yet these men talk of hard times. Haul;- 1
ruptey and rum will as surely and ine
vitably follow such a suicidal policy, as !
night follow" day. To arrest this fatal j
policy is the great and grand work of!
farmers' organization#: they should ;
hay 'he earnest and patriotic support j
and encouragement of editors, suer
"i .ins, professional men, and indeed of !
all ctt'zens who have at heart the well
betag and happiness of our people.—

AN INCIDENT OF LJULI. RUN.
WASHINGTON, February 2Gth.— A
brief chapter of unwiitten war history
was related by Capt. Greene, of Char
lottsville, V'a., to-day, as he with a '
group of ex-Confederates were study- j
ing the panorama of the battle of Hull '
Hun. Said ho : "It is a fast not gen- '
erally known that a serious accident j
occurred to Gen. llobcrt E. Lee the
morning after the second battle of Bull
Hun. Gen. Leo and Stonewall Jackson
were saatad upou a log, near Sudley
Springs, when some Confederate soldiers
who had crossed the ford imagined they
had struck Pope's whole arm/. They
instantly became stampeded, and rushed
pell null by the two officers. Gen. Lee's
horse, old Traveller, broke away and
the General in his efforts to catch bun
was thrown violentlv to the ground,
breaking both his hands. Gen Lee wcut
to South Mountain and Antietani in an
ambulance, atid travelled in this man
ner through tho campings that followed,
carrying his hands in a sling. Accor
ding to my best remcmbranee ho never
fully recovered from the injurv."'—N.

TIIE NEW NORTH.
When Mr. Grandy heard tho New
Eugland Society chooriug his alluiion
to the Cavalier, and to the beaten but
not crushed or disheartened confederate
soldier who turned his charger iuto a
plow-horse and went to work to create
a prosperity more firm and detarablo
than tiiat which was based upon human
slavery, ami when he heard from Del
monico's gallery the familiar and inspir
ing strains of "Dixie," his surprise at
the New North may have been qulto as
great as that of any of his audience at
the New South pictured in his own for
