TIE 0SsspAign bn North CaroRana-Yhree
Rebel ~Vtetorfes."
Three battles have recently been fought IN
me State Of North Carohna-me on the 10th,
the second on the l6th, and the third on the
10th Of ths present month. They were the at
tsmpts Of the Southern generals in that State
to impede on ayrest fhe advance Of the Union
forces; and, as our readers have already seen by
extracts from the Southern papers, they have
been londly announced as southern Victories >
even by Johnston and Lee. We have noticed here
tofose Me strange effect that sdefeas7 has upon
our armies After irst rate Southern victory
they always advance, while the rebel forces,
with conmendable good manners retire and
leave Us in quiet possession Of the point m dis
pute> IN ths respect these three latest of the
Southern "victories7 are jnst like so many
other Southern victories have been Indeed
they are rather better for us, since at present
che enemy not only withdraw after their vie
tories, but they actually leave their artillery in
our hands Can the magnanimity Of foe rise
10 nobler height than that
The first Of these victories was that gained
by Bragg, near Kinston, on the Neuse. Scho-
field was advancing, by way Of Kinston, towards
Goldsboro, to meet Sherman at the latter
place. Bragg held Kinston, and as Scho-
field came up the Southern force was
advance, in the hope to crush ito
compel Schofeld to retire, and 40 10 prevent
the junction. Bragg Immediately announced
TO Lee, Lee 10 Breckinridge, and Breckin-
ridge to the people, that the result was great
Southern victory, with dreadful destruction Of
so on. Then, even before the ink Of these
several announcements was dry, Bragg re-
treated from SchoAeld's front, Schofeld con-
tinued his advance ss II Bragg had never been
heard from at all, and In a few days, without
another fight, occupied KiHton. Such was the
"victoryr-one that had been chronicled by
the Southern papers as an event likely to turn
the tide In favor Of the confcderacy.
The other two Southern victories" were
gained over Shermans army-one by Hardec,
at Averysboro; the othor by Johnston, at Ben

14th inst. He marched, not for Raleigh, which
is due north Of Fayetteville, but for Goldsboro,
northeast Of II, where he could unite with
Schofeld. Now, Averysboro, the scene OF one
battle, and Bentonsvillc, the scene Of the other
are both practically on the line Of his march
70 Goldsboro Had he left the force under
Hardee at Averysboro, II would have been In
dangerous proximity TO his left flank. Conse'
quently he could not leave It there, and
turned aside to fight It; and that he
completely destroyed and routed II Is made
absolutely certain by the simple fact that, after
the battle, he went on his way, and that three
days later he fought another battle about
twenty miles nearer to the point be started for.
Moreover, hat he had . not less positive vic.
tory at pcntonsyillc is proved in he same way.

~
laughable ignorance prevails in Richmond OF
the operations in North Carolina. The Rich
mond Sentinel, in one sentence, glories over the
rebel victories" at Averysboro and Bentons-
vile, and In the next sentence tells in the most
indifferent way that the Southern troops had
evacuated Goldsboro, evidently quite unaware
that the possession of G0ldsboro was the point
in dispute, and hat the evacuation of that
town Was the clearest possible evidence that
each OF Inc Victories claimed was . defeat 1t

A Rlc4 SCENE IN TEE FRENCH SENATE.-We
publish to-day debate in the French Senate
which took plass en the 10th inst, translated
for our columns from the Opinion Nasion0ls
It presents about as amusing scene as could
be produced in Washington. The French
Senate has evidently, IN the person Of the Mar
quis de Boissy, another such original genius as
Senator Foote proved himself in our Senate, and
subsequently, in The rebel Congress at Richmond.
He occupied the attention of the chamber for
whole day with the most eccentric remarks,
which provoked alternate mirth and indigna-
ton and frequent interruption from his col
leagues. It is clear, however, that he has the
good will Of Napoleon, and probably spoke in
this peculiar vein for some special purpose.
At any rate, he drew out from field marshals
and Senators very positive expression In
behalf of the Napoleon dynasty and the sue
cession Of the Prince Imperial. Napoleon the
Third Is declared greater than Napoleon the
First The Marquis complains that In three
quarters Of century, before the time Of the
present Emperor, France had fourteen different
governments-one of which lasted thirty-three
years, and the other thirteen only four years
each; so that tn this respect at Least the
French government somewhat resembles our
own four years of presidential office.
He pitched into England without mercy,
saying that every bomb and engine Of assassi-
nation intended to take the life of the Emperor
was paid for in English money, and every
assassin was hired with English gold. He is
evidently not very favorable to the Mexican
enterprise; for he says that before the'French
armies are withdrawn from China they ought to
be recalled from Mexico; although he abuses
England for backing out Of her compact with
France, and compelling her to Ego it alone" in
Mexico Russia, however, he excuses, because,
as he very naively says, 1--WE (the Fgench)
we're then fomenting the Polish instirrection."
It would appear from the speech of the Marquis
de Boissy that Napoleon's life Is threatened,
and that Mazzfni comes in for shareDf suspi-
cion in the contemplated attempt Upon the
whole the debate is rich and racy, and is well
worth reading.

Congressman will probably be, first, to
force Congress to admit them to seats
without taking the oath or, failing in
this, second, to bring a pressure upon
Congress and aecure the repeal of the act
requiring the taking the oath. If they
succeed In either alternative, it viii! be the
entering wedge of system of reconstruc-
tion which will not be endorsed bv the
masses for if there is ono sentiment
which more than another is cherished by
loyal men, it is that those who were iu.
strumental in precipitating the country
into rebellion and in upholding and pro
longing that rebellion, shall never be per
mltted TO participate in the legislation of
that country nor hold Offices of honor or
trust under the government. Every con-
sideration of right and justice, as we'll of
national safety and sound policy, would
seem to dictate such sentiment. Look
at II for moment. To the rebel States
were a set of traitors who for years, in
Ooo@'SSS o"N OuS vi ~, PICdCuSu uObnluS
but Secession and Disunion, and who ul-
timately succeeded in plunging the coun-
try into terrible civil war for four lcsg
years they fought the government, with
tie avowed object of destroying it, and
were only persuaded to forego their de-
termination when they had been thor
oughly thrashed. Instead of treating
them as traitors, shall we receive
these men in our arms and put them back
in their old places. thereby giving them
power and opportunity to again disturb
the public peace and get up another re-
bellion?
This is one Of the many intricate and
important questions which will come up
before Congress for its action at its next
sitting. We hope TO see it solved salts
factorily to the loyal men of the land.

The Cholera In Europe.

The Russian papers announce that the
cholera, which appeared TWO months since
in the southern provinces of the empire
is advancing north, and, notwithstanding
the cold weather, ii has arrived at Berdy-
tehen, in Russian Poland, town of forty
thousand souls, mostly Jews In Paris,
it appears that those who have suffered
mcst from the disease are the chifomniers
or rag-men and the street-sweepers On
The former class it has fallen so heavily
that there is an intention of suppressing
the trade altogether It is said that one
hundred auG fifteen thousand persons fed
from Paris, within ten days, to avoid the
epidemic, but the example OF the Emperor
aud Empress in visiting the hospitals
where the patient. are under treatment
has added much to their personal popular
ity, and vii! have a healthy moral effect.
In England, the cholera had made its
appearance at Freemoutb, place con-
tanning four thousand five hundred iu-
habltants, near Southampton. Six deaths
bad been reported. The inhabitants arc
in 4 great state of CONSERVATION from
consciousness that such is the drainage of

only cases yet officially reported, are those
on the Atlanta. late from Havre There
were some ninety cases on board this
steamer, of which about one-third died,
still the disease is reported of mild type.
With proper caution We may yet escape
tie visitation, though the movements of
the disease are so mysterious, that it is
difficult to arrive at any thing like co., |

Flow the Result Ofthe Northern
Elections is Regarded in the
South.

Before the October and November eIec
tlons were held In the North, the copper
lead leaders were voiciferously Insisting
that the actual Union men of the South
depended upon democratic success for
just and safe reconstruction Of the States
lately in revolt" If the radicals at
the North triumphed at the polls.
the conservative Union sentiment at
the South would be seriously impaired,
it not utterly destroyed. All these pleas
were put forward to coastrain honest men
in the Mort, to vote democratic tickets"
IN the belief that democratic victory"
would hasten the restoration of tranuuili-
ty all over the country. Now let US see
how the Union men of the South regard
the result of the northern elections since
they have all gone against the "Democra-
cy." The Raleigh On c. Daily Pro-
gress, of the 10th instant, referring to
this subject, says
''The Republican party has triumphe1,
and we are glad OF it, for in its success we
have an assurance that the Government
is to he preserved The treasonabie ex
crescence of Democracy, the Breckiuridge
faction, led io the work of destruction,
and were mainly responsible for all the
cou"try has suffered and if the copper
heads of the North and the disaffected of
the South had succeeded in wrestling the
Government from the steady hands that
now control it, they would have precipi-
tated US into another war in less han five
years. Let copperhead papers and disaf-
fected leaders remember, hereafter, that
when they refer to the radicals of the
North, they speak Of the President and
his Cabinet, and those who have control
of both Houses of Congress, through
whose hands and from whom all we hope
to get is to come"

BrOyyRlOVv On the reconstruct

We extract the following from Brown
lows Knoxville Wig OF Nov. 9Th. The
Governor ought to know these Southrous
fully, and as his testimony is not that of
Radical, the Reactionists caunot carp at
it:
"Tke Southern leaders still have the
devil in them, and presuming upon the
Ieniency of the President, they are losing
sight OF their real positions. Louisiana is
proposing to elect ex Governor Allen, now
refugee traitor in Mexico, to gubernato-
rial honors, on the ground that h e is en-
deared to the psople because Of mis- servi-
ces rendered III the cause of the rebellion,
In North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama,
unpardoned rebels are running for Con-
gress, ooasting that they are still unpar-
doned, and do not intend to change. We
are sorry to see this state o. things, but
it is just what we predicted from the
start. The war was closed out two wears
too soon. The President will adopt new
and different conrse towards these rebel
States. He will, in a word, withdraw all
amnesty, and introduce confscation, mar

The mild and benignant policy of the
President has been abused, is not at all
appreciated by reoel leaders, but it is in
sultiugly demanded as their right! These
Southern rebels have their fate in their
own keeping. and they are nursing their
wrath to keep it warm. We feel conf
dent :hat the President will not yield any
more ground to them, if, indeed, he does

General Grant and mexico.

ly been reported, but every time some one.
who knew more than General Grant did
what he intended to say, denied that he
ever said any such thing. But, in New
York, he made it SO that it will 1T be
denied
1t was on the occasion of his visit on
wednesday evening to the Union League
Rooms in New York. Mr. Beekm man wei
coined him, aud among other things said
that "fouer wrong had never outraged
"human annals than the present French
occupation of Mexico. We sympathise
"wlth our sister republic in the day of
"her adversely, and firmly believe ir her
coming deiiverance. A Mexican Grant
"will save his country, as you have re-
''stored your own" To which the Geu-
eral made this most eloquent aud forcible
reply: 81 hope you will excuse me from
thanking you at any great length. Bat
'"tEere Is one sentiment uttered in your
address, which is mine also 1t is the
zone touching the future OF Mexico."-
(Cheers.)
Says the Evening Post !: There have
been longer speeches than this, there have
been speeches more argumenrative aud
ornate, but few more to the point "When
you talk about delivering Mexico" said
the General, in his own quies way, "count
me in," leaving history to explain the
ful significance of what he means by go

lIberticide is, we trust, sufficiently familiar
with the English tongue to understand
the toree of the words.
