It seems like old times to read the ac
count of the celebrations in the cities of
North Carolina after the returns were all
in, in the late election. The people were
jubilant indeed. Processions were formed
at a moments notice, and headed by bands
playing stirring airs, marched through the
street®, sending up cheer after cheer, as only
enthusiastic men can utter them ; bonfires
were lighted, cannons fired, sky-rockets sent
into the air. Houses were illuminated,
torch lights innumerable carried about, and
the sky filled with blue lights, Roman ean.
dies and fire-works of every kind and na
ture Hundreds of minute-speeches of
congratulation were made, and the entire
occasion such an one, as only occurs when
roeu aro crazed with joy.
NORTH CAROLINA.
All honor to old “Rip Van Winkle.”
This sober old State is not so sleepy after
all. Must gratifying accounts of the lato
election have reached us. Out of seven
Congressmen wo have secured five. Not
withstanding the wicked attempts by the
creature, liolden, to prevent expression of
tho popular will at the polls, the brave
Demoeiatic yeomanry of the State have
carried everything before them. We can
cheer louder than the loudest over the suc
cessful issue of this struggle against cor
ruption and misapplied power, still, our
enthusiasm has mingled with it a fear that
the wishes of the people may be defeated.
The men now in power have no regard for
the purity of the ballot, and in this in
stance will perform one of their character
istic fraud, viz : the abstraction of a large
number of Democratic votes and the -übsti
tutioc- of Radical ones. Whether this be
so or not, we must give the Democracy of
the State credit for the gallant fight and
final victory. Three times three and a
tiger, for the “Old North State !”
All over tho land calls are being made
for Democratic conventions, —for town,
county, distriot and state conventions.
'?nis is right. We must organize, we must
organize note. We must organize in every
hamlet and city in the whole country if we
would ensure success. Let usnot delay one
moment; it will be political suicide to wait
and dally while our cunning and active
opponents are completing their organization.
Those opposed to u- are artful and scheming
men. They will attempt to buy; they will
attempt to overawe; they will forge public
opinion; they will surpass free discussion,
and even abridge the freedom of the press
wherever they aro powerful enough to war
rant such a revolutionary step. Anything
to retain power, no matter how repugnant
to justice or decency, will be done by them.
To thwart these mad schemes to perpetuate
their ascendency, let all who desire the re
vival of our commerce, the reduction of bur
densome taxation, the prevention of govern
mental ex f ravagance, the re-establishment
of oar credit abroa I, arid the elevation of
men to positions of trust and homr, unite,
organize, aad act in concert to rescue the
country from the clutches of irresponsible
politicians and place-hunters*
A Cardet-Bag Exodus fio m North
Carolina — Thkir Moan on Cuffee Brok
en.—The Raleigh correspondent of the
New Yorx World writes as follows:
The election has settled one thing beyond
change—the negroes will never vote with
the Republican party, in a body, in this
State again. Many of them voted with the
Democrats this time. The refusal of the
white Radicals to support the negro J'ira
Harrih for Congress in the fourth district,
and the defeat of most of the other negro
candidates it» the State, has opened the
ryes of the negroes to the fact that while
tae carpet- baggers and native ecalawags
c-" d«-r the n-gro a .very good voter, they
• i • no use fur him as an office-holder.
*>be;s will be a general hegira of carpet
baggers from the State ja consequence of
the result- of the election just passed.
I hose who have not been obliged to go
before now to avoid prosecution for their
rascahtieo will- leave now, except a few
who hold office for terms not yet expired.
The tale will be told of Georgia before
Christmfls. The power of the developers
will be finally and completely broken by
that time.

following from a Democratic exchange;
but whether we havs or not, its truthfulness

A political party is like a great army.
Id the interval between active campaigns
there may be a great deal of pardur.able
straggling ; but when it is necessary to
form tne foroes for battle, every man must
be found in the ranks. The whole body
must move together as if it had but one soul.
For our part, we are willing, in this impor

forbear to press peculiarities of opinion, for
the sc*;® of that unity of action and party
discipline, which are eseentiul to victory.

WASHINGTON CORRESPOfiDINCE
or THE GEORGIA HER EXE.
Washington, D»C., Aug 13, 1870.
the radical fiasco in noet* Carolina.
The ‘flattering unction’’ of the Radical
party that the “Democracy is dead.” must
have been pretty effectually dispelled by
the Waterloo defeat which has recently
overtaken them in North Carolina. Every
intelligent reader understands what influ
ences and considerations have combined to
bring about this revolution in the political
status of that sTate. The People, from a
period coincident with the commencement
of the war. broeght about by the r ckless
and mischief owe heresies of a nigger-wer
ahippiDg band of abolition agitators, have
been burdened, oppressed, taxed, and rob
bed by the hirelings of the dominant party,
until, forbearance ceating to be a virtue,
they have arisen in their might, and
crushed beneath the heel of justice their
arrogant usurper. Next followed the
inquisitorial and infamous “policy” (?)
of Be ‘construction—overriding that most
sacred of all the palladiums of human
right and human liberty—the whit or
habeas coH»rs, and driving the People
mperiocrsly into a ennditroa where they
were long cringed and ground beneath the
iron heel of & narrow military despotism
Then came a wholesale onslaught of greedy
•‘carpet-baggers,’’ flattening upon the ex
hausted resources of the South, prolonging
the existence of the imperial despotism of
the reconstruction's, and inciting in every
direction a “reign of terror.' 7 The closing
scene ii> this Cromwellian drama, after an
exhibition of dastardly temerity whfoh has
inspired both surprise and contempt, is
now being enacted in the outrageous usur
pations of Holden and bis satraps upon the
honor, rights, liberty, a?>d property of the
People. Incensed by a firm conviction of
the unjustfiable measures of this usurping
officer, tho citizens of North Carolina have
pronounced judgement upon him at the
ballot box. The emphatic nature of tho
verdict must carry conviction to him and
the Radical party, that the liberty of law*
abiding citizens cannot be taken from them
fcv the ruthless will of a would be despot,
with impu»dfcv. Ir, must teach the strong
lesson that the time-honored protective writ
« f habeas corpus cannot be treated as blank
parchment, and the subjects of its protection
diet into prison without pretext, power, or
proces9. It mu-t reach toe marauding
horde of carpet-baggers that their errand
of representating a People they have never
comprehended, is a “ fool's errand and
from all these fruitful and practical lessons,
the deduction is obvious thut this is the
beginnrrrg of the end of fhait pbWef'firl com
bi nation of lawless acts and unjust politi
cal heresies exerted by the Radical party to
postpone the day when the South shall
again be placed upon a footing of peace and
prosperity—the rights of her People res
pected— oppression cease— representation
left to citizens of States to decide —and the
political machinery of each one reclaimed
from the selfish control of plundering ad
venturers. The foil? wing is the result of
the election generally summed ap: The
Congressional delegtion stands five Con
servatives and two Republicans. The pol
itical complexion of the Legislature if not
very much from the following: Senate—
Conservatives, 32 ; Republicans,. 18 ; Lower
House—Conservatives, 75 ; Republicans,
45. This secures an emphatic Democratic
majority in the Leg slature on joint ballot,
and will result in inviting the radical Sen
ator Abbott to take a back seat, where he
will have abundant time to reflect upon the
political folly and injustice of “class legis
lation” for a People whose powers of recu
peration from the ravages of war have been
paralyzed by the invidious distinctions
made by the lawa he hara taken part in en
acting. Let other States catch 1 the healthful
infection, and when the 7erdiet rendered
hurls from power the imperious radical
party, then, and not till tetkn, will we
have the “Peace” which Grant promised
but has not given tie.
THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN SITUATION.
Events transpiring during the transit of
my letter will place your readerg in poses
sion of more recent developments in tho
relative situation and achievements of the
two great armed powers, than it is possible
now so furnish or surmise. The importance
of the recent successes of the Prussian arms
can scarcely be over estimated’. The de
cisive battle at Weissenbnrg completely
eclipsing the more unimportant engagement
at Saarbruck, may be said-to have been the
opening battle of the campaign. Driving
the French trom the field at the point of
the bayonet, it is thus settled early in the
struggle that the impetuosity and magnetic
elan which has hitherto renowned the
French as an attacking party, is not shared
by them alone ; for we witness in the calm,
resolute, phlegmatic temperament of the
Germans, a 1 spirit also of enthusiasm and
buoyancy which, added to their wonderful
enduranee; invests them with great power
both in the aggressive apd defensive Hues
r battle. Since my last letter the whole
aspect of affairs has changed, While it
was then thought that from the superioity
of the French concentration, the Prussians
might be driven- back upon their fortified
lines from Coblentc to Mayence, it has
resulted that the Prussians not awaiting'
attack, have precipitated themselves with
resistless force in two enormous masses
upon the French left and centre, driving
back the latter and separating the former
from its. communications with the main
army, The suddenness, celerity, and exact
movement of the Germans astonished the
world when at Sadowa they concentrated
«he magic number of three large colums
up n an imaginary focus in the rear of the
Austrian lines: They- have repeated this
manoeuvre with striking suocegs in the
prevent campagn. As McMahon was pre.-
pariagto riH.ve lr*e» Strasbourg, bit rail
way RMnnoumcations with LautaffetfTg, at
the *•*ireme ang'e <f the frontier, wt re
broken up by a daring Prussian raid, and
severe! miles es the Irack entirely destroyed.
The ci.mmcjnictiticm of the French right ami
centre were thus entirely interrupted.
While this was in progress another German
torce stormed the lines of Weissenburg,
at and drove the French noon Bitscbe. Mae-
Mahon had, meanwhile, moved up from
Strasbourg to llagotmat*. to throw himself
across the line (<f advance chosen by the
Crown Prince of Prussia. A series of
coaflieis, concluding with ths battle of
Hagueoau, continued nearly three days,
when the French were driven from the
field with immense loss of men and war
material, and for the time feeing entirely
isolated from their centre. The excrement
here (and especially among our large Ger
man population) o»er these important
movements is increased by the upris
ing of the people of Paris to resist the
advances of the Prussians on that city.

to shield its surface from a shower of spray.
Giving a real Broadway curve or two at
the X, to gather speed. Mr. D. led off in
the drama, followed by his comrades in
arms, at a rate'that would- have laughed to
SCbfn, the comparative tarrapin gait of
greased lightening, which, of course, soon
brought them So the church, where all
coming'irVtogether, they alighted, gathering
uYito themselves their coat tariff which the
rebellious winds had been tossing, with as
little respect as if they bad belonged to
common folks, andcftCT surveying them
selves each other wicb the nkjest scruti
ny, to see how T much their cravats and
shirt-fronts had suffered in the mngnifieent
onslaught, they at last seemed satisfied;
whereupon they pricked their ears, elevated
their eye-brows, squared their noses to the
front and with all their Dative dignity be
sides a handsome share borrowed for the
occasion, they strode into the church.
Now, had come the trying point. They
wished above all things to get into a posi

sex, and at the sarae time show' off their
own proportions to the best advantage, but
unfortunately, the arrangement of the
benches permitted only a side glance. So
after close consultation. i„ which they be
came very much amused at something too
nice for the comprehension of the common
class around them, they decided to change
their base of operations—whereupon they
stepped gracefully to the front seat of the
“ niggers' ” department, which it was found
they graced better than might have been
expected under the circumstances. But,
