POLITICAL DEMONSTRATION IN WHINING
ToN.-A telegraphic dispatch thus announces
the jubilation of the Conservative party over
their recent victory in North Carolina:
The grandest political demonstration wit
messed here for long time is now in progress,
in honor of the recent Conservative victory in
this State. The railroads and steamers brought
in hundreds of persons from other counties.
This evening, there is grand illumination and
torch-light procession, and bon fires. The
whole city is alive with enthusiasm. Cannon
are firing and there is a display of fireworks.
Thousands of people are in the procession and
on the streets Good order and good feeling
universally prevail. There were no notices,
or devices, or transparencies calculated to give
offence to the defeated party, and everything
was conducted in the most dignifed and con-
ciliatory manner.
Among the speakers was Col. A. NJ. Wad-
dell, Democratic Congressman elect from this
District. His speech is considered important
as foreshadowing to some extent the future
policy of the Democratic party with regard to
the negro. The following is an extract:
Without presuming to dictate to others [
will express the hope that one of the first acts
of the next Legislature, which will be largely
Conservative, will be formal declaration OF
their intention not to disturb the black man IN
the enjoyment of his rights guaranteed to him
by law, and that they will restore, if possible,
the school fund of which he, in common with
his citizens, has been robbed, and will
pay the debt of universal education which is
due from the State, not as the Republicans
have done in promises unfulflled, but honora-
bly, and to the last farthing of the means at
their command; and that their whole course
will exhibit them ne reformers and not "a rev.
olutionists"

The Weather and Crops.

For three weeks past, there has been an
abundance of rain, and in some sections of the
county farmers apprehend damage from the
excessive wet weather. The corn and cotton
crops are looking extraordinarily fine, and in
many places there are better prospects than at
any like period since the war.

The army commenced to cross to the left
bank of the Mozelle, this morning. Our ad
vance guard had no knowledge of the presence
of any force of the enemy, and when half of
our army had crossed over, the Prussians sud-
denly attacked them in great force, but after
great loss to them. (Signed) NAPOLEON.
An official despatch states that the corps of
Generals Ladmiryault and DeCaese were en-
gagged in combat near Metz yesterday. Mar
shal Bazane was present. The enemy was re-
pulsed after four hours fighting. The troops
are in fine spirits.
Twenty French of Werth have been shot by
the Prussians in retaliation for cruelties said to
have been inflicted on wounded German pris-
oncrs.
10000 troops of Marshal McNfahon's corps,
who were cut off from the French army, and
were believed to have fallen into the hands of
the Prussians, arrived at Strasburg in safety.
The Journal OGciel presents the French view
of the situation in the following authorized
declarations:
One of the public journals having still pre-
sumed to doubt that real work is going on for
the armament and defence of Paris, although
it NAV be an act of treason to speak thus in the
face of the enemy, such insinuations impose
the necessity of q reply, Notwithstanding the
danger involved. All material necessary for
the armament of Paris is in the city. More
than 600 cannons are already mounted on the
walls of those forts which are likely to be first
threatened, and the work of placing other
pieces in position continues without Interrupt
ton day and night. Yesterday $500 workmen
were engaged in cutting off the streets leading
into Paris. This work has been completed,
and nothing remains but to close the openings
in the walls, and to place the drawbridges in po-
sition. Thousands of laborers occupy the out
side of the walls on earthworks, mines, bitches,
&C., which are to complete the net work of for

more than the same number Of

probably true. -Four wine cellars

A Pilgrim Centennial.

There is to be another celebra-
ton in that portion of the world,
"the latchet of whose shoes" one
of its native born writer's once |
said, '1ths nations of the earth are
not worthy to loosen" We mean
New England. It is remembered
that the May Flower landed at
Plymouth Rock, in the year 1920,
the cargo of immigrants whose
sublime conception of freedom was
the right to do as they pleased,
and to make everybody else do so,
too. The nautical event we refer
to is a sort of genealogical land
mark, like the battle of Hastings;
every respectable New Highlander
tries to trace his pedigree back to
it. For ones ancestor to have
come over with Elder Brewster is
esteemed in Massachusetts quite
as huge a thing as in England for
ones ancestor to have come over
with Duke Willifm. The landing
at Plymouth Rock did not take
place till December, of 1620-two
hundred and fifty. years ago; but
there were some preliminary mat
tiers esteemed worthy of common
Grafton, such as the departure of
the Puritans from Leyden, July
Dist; and the final departure of
the Paritans from England, Sep
TENDER 16. Both these events are
to be celebrated, Oh their anniver-
saries, and the whole drama to
conclude with a grand celebration
of the landing at Plymouth Rock,
on the Dist of December next.
There is a vague. sort of impress
sion prevailing in the northeast
corner Of this country, thatall the
people now living in the United
States are legitimate descendants
Of the handful Of cross-grained
folks who landed from the May
Flower; but modern research has
. proved this to be an error. Re

1t is gratifying to think that
the mortal remains of Mr.. George
Peabody will now soon be finally
disposed of and probably be saif
fered to rest in peace; and that ,
the tedious reports of his funeral
pageant will cease to bore the
public in the blanket newspaper.
That the deceased was a man Of
kind heart and good intentions
and set an example Of ante mortem
liberality worthy of all praise. Is
unquestionable; but the SaAt has
been sufficiently commented on.
and its repeated mention has he.

go further than this limit OF praise
and to hold up Mr.. Peabody as .

reputation for patriotism is over.

The Cuban rebellion proves
not to be yet quelled. General
Jordan has gained a considera-
BILE victory for that war, by re-
pulsing some $500 Spaniards,
and inf1icting a loss upon them
of two OF three hundred.
The winterseason is the time
for active campaigns in Cuba /;
the weather then being cool,
dry and healthy. AS the win
ter is nearly over, it is thought
that the rebellion cannot be
quelled in twelve months. The
late victory may cause the Re
bells to be recognized by the
United States as belligerents,
which will be one point gained.
With another victory or two,
many will be induced to go
