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. General Sam. F. Carey, of Ohio, has just returned from an eight months' visit to Europe. In a note to Hon. James R. Hub boll, congratulating him upon his nomina tion for Congress by the Democracy of the Eighth District, Gen. Carey says ; . “My observations in regard to the condi tion of the working clauses in Great Britain make me more anxious to serve them in my own land.

Augustus Reese, of Madison, was called to the chuir as temporary Ci.airman. Col J B Weeuis, ot Macon M. A. liar din, of Bartow, and J. K. Randall, of Augusta, were requested to act as tem porary Seore'aries. The Secretaries called the roll of the counties and the names cf delegates were enrolled. Col. C. W. Styl'f moved that* committee of three from each Congressional District he appointed to report on permanent or ganization, which motion prevailed. While the Committee retired Gen. A. V*. Wright, was called upon to speak, bat he declined making any remarks until there whs something before the convention. On motion of 8. M. Strong, the Congress ional Address to the Democratic party of the South, was read by Secretary Mark Hardin. The reading of the address called forth cheer after cheer. The Committee on Permanent Organiza tion entered and reported Gen. A. 11.

Hood, Col. O. mill oamuel L "ue selected to eecort the Presi dent to the chair. Upon taking the ehair Colquitt made a short but most pertinent speech, which was applauded to the echo. A committee of three from each Con gressional District was then appointed to prepare business for the meeting. An invitation was read from 11. I. Kim ball, inviting the Convention to visit Ogle thorpe Park at 4 o’clock P M. The Convention then adjourned until 3 o’clock P. M. Met at 3 o'clock, and was called to order by the President. It was moved to reconsider the action of the Convention in declining Mr. Kimball’s invitation to visit the Fair Ground, which motion prevailed. Tho invitation was ao cep’ed. Judge Cabaniss moved that the thanks of this Covention be tendered to the House of Representatives fur the use of their hall, which motion was nnanimou-ly adopted. The Chairman of the C immittee on busi ness, Judge John T. Clark, submitted a series of resolutions, which he moved should bo adopted, and cubed the previous queg. tion. The call was sustained although some objection was made, and the following resolution!? were adopted : Resolved, That the Democratic party o» the State of Georgia stund upon the prince pies of the Democratic party of the Uni n. bringing into special prominence. a > uppii cable to tho present extraordinary condition of the country, the unchangeable and ctrioo that this union of the States, and the indes tructibility of the States, and of i luor rights and of their equality with each other, is an indispen-able part of our political system Resolved, That in the approaching State election, the Democratic party cordially in vites everybody to co-operate with them in a zealous determination' to change, as far as the several elections to be held can do so, the present usurping and oorrupt ad ministration of the State government, by placing in power men who are true to the principles ot Constitutional Government, and to a faithful and economical adminis tration of public affairs. Resolved, That the Prsident of this Con vention be instructed to appoint an Execu tive Committee composed of two from each Congressional District, who shall choose a chairman from outside their own number with power on their part to call a future Convention of the Democratic party and with such other powers as have been usual ly exercised by Democratic Executive Com mittees, and (heir appointment to last until the assembling of the next Democratic Convention.

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.

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. Beta. POLITICAL CL! PPINGS, Oollaway is again a candidate for Con gress from one ot the Kentucky districts. Gov. Thockmorton and Col. B 11. Epper son of Texas, have is-ued a call for the Democrats of the State to olganflft them selves. SenatOT Conkling is said to be working for the nomination of Williar* II Seward for Governor of New York. Seward is now over 70 years old. ‘‘Democratic at all times and under all circumstances'’ has been dropped from the title-page of the New York Democrat}. It is an advertising dodge of Briek’s. A prisoner in the Wisconsin penitentia ry, has written to the Governor for a par don. statiug that be “is a Republican, aud always was.” The Chicago Tribune admits that Schenok the Radical candidate, will be defeated for Congress unless the Democrats ru-n Vallan di g h a mV The New York Tiifies gays the taxes in South Carolina now are very much greater than ever before, while the State debt has been increased nine millions in two years, under Radical rule. Holden’s militia kept on a wDr footing in N >rth Carolina to prevent Democrats and Conservatives from voting against Holden and his pimps, cost the State $1 0,000 u month. Gen. William Terrv, who commanded the Storewall brigade during the last days of the war, has been nominated as Demo cratic candidate for Congress in the eighth district of Virgi'ni'a The Republicans' ta k ‘ Horace Greeley as the next man to be defeated for Gover nor of New York. Ti e Democrats will use “What. I know about farming,” as a cam paign document against him in the ratal districts. — Sun. The State Central Conservative Executive Committee of Tennessee have called* a Stare Convention of Conservatives ami Democrats, to assemble on the 13tb of September next, at Nashville, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Governor, and for taking such othe steps as may be deemed neces sary to secure thorough organization. Limbrick Thomas, an old South Carotin** negro, explains, its the Union Springs Time*, why he doesn’t join the R- pUblican party. Among other reasons, he *ays the whi e South Carolinians who have joined it, are the sort he used to watch when they came on old master’s premises, to keep them from stealing. Young has a peculiar but efficacious manner of conducting a politic**) campaign-. Gen. Maxwell was the Gentile candidate for delegate to Congress. The Church forthwith forbid any Mormon fam ily harboring him, and the General was obliged to' beat an ignominious retreat. Under suctr circumstances, the vote was almost uuaninVovie for the Church candi date. A prominent NouthCrd 4 Republican, just from Long Branch, says that whilst at the latter place he had a long conversation with Gen. Grant upon the subject of the next Presidential election, in Which he inform ed Grant that Gen. Birtler is endeavoring to form a combination lor the nomination of Boutwell as the candidate of the Radical party. This Southern Republican says he has positive proof of Butler’s manoeuvres in the political interests of Boutwell. The friends of Montgomery Biair seem determined to run, and, if possible elect him as the next Representatve from the Fith Maryland distric . They are of the opinion that if Blair gets a seat in Congress he will* be »ble so teach the old fossil of democrats some wisdom and point out the true road to success against the radical party in the next Prudential election. Blair is very anxiouer hinbseif, it is said, to get to Congress,-ami will make a big fight for the democratic or coaservative nomina tion in his district. The case of Motley’s removal is now el plained. Chandler, the great annihilator of- England and American Bourbon, did* it. He used- the following argument for that purpose: : “Mr. President/’ said the great Michigander, “that fellow, Mot ley, is an English snob. I never did like him ; in fact. I don't like any fellow that pars his hair iu the middle:” And he worked day- and night until the fate of Motley was decided. It is reported that the Radicals of Massachusetts talk of reveng ing themselves upon Chandler by nutting Motley in the Senate, in ' Mr. * Wilson’s place. I s it not True? — The N. Y. San, which helped elect Grant, now says : His administration is bad, foolish, weak, cowardly, corrupt, anti American, con temptible at home, and more contemptible abroad. It is impossible to speak the truth and deny that this in so. It is impossible for an independent journalist, aurioUs to discharge hie obligations- to* the people, to oonceal or palliate facts so fearful and so notorious'. The President is incompetent, lazy, neg lectful of his duties, una.ile to comprehend them, and careless about performing them, lie appoints men to office simply because they have made him presents, »,? are relu tions, or because s *«.e fooiish caprice prompts. He degrades ihu country in the eyes of all the world. -x stands trembling like a coward so. •• a-* <,f a corrupt and bankrupt power like Spam The mau who saved the nation as a soldier' is covering us Fitb shama as a President.
