telegraphed to Governor Humphreys
don to file a bill, in the name of the
Mississippi, to enjoin ail proceedings to
set the pe >ple of that State to military rulo,
under the recent act of Congress, and that the
<; -. rn ir immediately replied, giving the desir-ed
uutli irity. Since then the Governor has re-ceiveda
telegram from JudgeSharkey upon the
subject, stating that the " prospects are good."
The i lections begin to create a great
deal of interest. General Schenck has linally
decided to accept the Republican nomination
for Governor. He will be opposed by Allen (».
Thurman, a representative ofthe War Democra-cy.
The contest promises to be more exciting
than ai y that has occurred in the State fur sev-eral

I.INA.
Having assembled in the city of Ral-eigh
on the 20th of March, ISO7, in con-formity
with a timely and patriotic call, re-flecting
the sentiments ofthe loyal men
of the Stale, and believing the time is at
hand when an open and fearless express-ion
of sentiment, opinion, and purpose is
urgently demanded; therefore
1. Resolved, That in view of our pres-ent
political condition, our relations to
the national government and the people
of all S' ctions of the country, we do this
day with proud satisfaction unfurl the
brilliant and glorious banner of the repub-lican
party, and earnestly appeal to every
true and patriotic man in the State to rally
to its support.
The splendid and patriotic record made
by this great political organization, in
standing by the general government with
an inflexible resolution, in carrying for-ward
profound measures of statesmanship
to a successful issue, and the powerful aid
given by it in finally overthrowing and
prostrating the most' gigantic rebellion of
ancient orinodera times, should command
the respect and challenge the admiration
of every candid man.
2. Resolved, That the American con-gress
is eminently entitled to the profound
thanks of the whole country for its per-servering,
persistent and heroic devotion to
the great principles of human rights as
enunciated in the Declaration of Indepen-dence
; that in the name of patriotic peo-ple
of this State we feel warranted in cor-dially
assenting to and accepting the re-construction
plan recently and finally adopt-ed
by that body, and to the end that peace
and order may be permanently secured
and every industrial pursuit resinned and
encouraged, we pledge ourselves to use
every fair and legitimate means to influ-ence
public sentiment to the nearest possi-ble
approach in unanimity on this subject
a. Resolved, That we rejoice that the
dogma long propagated, of the right of
peaceable secession under the constitution,
has been forever overthrown by the ma-jestic
uprising of the American people, in
crushing out the late rebellion by force ot
arms ; and that the doctrine that the su-premacy
of the general government has
been established, and that the paramount
allegiance of the citizens has been ac-knowledged
as due to the United States.
4. Resolved,Tbat we sincerely exult in
the fact that as a nation we are now abso-lutely
a nation offreemen,and that the sun
in all its course over our wide spread
country no longer shines upon the brow
of a "slave. "Without reservation we
heartily endorse the great measures of civ-il
rights and impartial enfranchisement
without any property qualification confer-red,
without distinction of color, and that
we ate ready to unite in the early practi-cal
attainment of these inestimable privi-urncdatnoon

sulated copper wire. It is from this ar-mature,
when the different parts of the
apparatus have been connected and put
into operation, that the electricity is
evolved and the effects are produced.
These effects are astonishing. An arch
of electric light several inches long spans
the space between the polar terminals of
fixed carbon. This light rivals the sun in
its dazzling luminousness. At a distance
of a quarter of a mile it throws shadows
from the flames of street lamps upon a
wall. It beats the son at taking photo-graphs.
In twenty seconds it darkens
sensitized paper held at a distance of two
feet from the light, as effectually as one
minute of full noonday sunshine. This
fact, when first announced to the scientific
world, was received with incredulity, but
it is the truth. Two enterprising photo-graphers
in England have since put up the
machines in their shops, and now do all
their copying and enlarging by the new
electric light at night. Of course
the heating power of the flame is intense.
It melts seven fet of No. 16 iron wire,
and heats to a read heat twenty-one feet of
the same wire in an instant.
Now here, assuredly, is a great discove-ry.
What is the full scope ot the possi-bilities
opened by it no one can tell, nor
intelligently conjecture. The cost of the
apparatus is small, the waste of materials
trifling, and where the motive power for
driving the armatures is already at hand,
the expense of working would be nomi-nal.
The operation is continuous and re-liable,
and the only objection brought
against the machine is the noise caused by
the revolving armatures which could be
obviated. A complete machine made un-der
the direction of the inventor, will
soon be brought to this city and exhibited.
The utilization ol its extraordinary pow-ers
which first presents itself to the mind
of most persons, is, probably, the light-ing
of Broadway. A light which would
enable people to read more than a quarter
of a roileaway would leave nothing to be
desired. Twelve such lights would per-fectly
illuminate Broadway from the Bat-tery
to Fourteenth street, at an expense,
after the apparatus was purchased, far be-low
that of the present gas lights. For
lighthouses it would be just the thing, and
for churches and all other places of public
resort. It would be rash to say that some
method could not be devised to introduce
it generally in our houses and stoics.
This discovery, when it can be applied,
promises to perform the miracle of chan-ging
nighty into day. Perhaps, too, the
intense beat generated may be capable of
turning winter into summer. Scientific
men have long looked to electricity as the
agent that is, in the progress of human
knowledge, to de\ elope the darkest mys-teries
of nature, and to b come the instru-mentality
by which man may work out
results now thought to be possible only to
Omnipotence.
We add a paragraph from Tine iVeto
"i'ork Tribune :
The occasional working of the Atlantic
Cables (both being thrown into one circuit
of nearly 5,000 miles) by thc infinitesimal-ly
small battery in a lady's thimble has so
utterly revolutionized the notions ofelectri-cians
and telegraphers concerning the
power required for working that vast tele-grapic
circuit, that intelligent people arc-now
scarcely surprised »t the latest asser-tions
concerning the inimitable resources
for cheaply generating K.lectric Light,
and the quality ol that light compared with
solar light.
