Notwithstanding the heavy rains yesterday and the inclement weather last night, the Greeley and Brown de monstration was a most happy success, it being participated in by the best cit izans of the place and from the surroun ding country. . ; At 8 o'clock the procession formed in Trout of the Governor's mansion and proceeded .up Fayetteville street, pre-ee-leu by the Raleigh Brass Band. . Thi-re were many hundred transpa renbies and other lights in the line, . the centre one being welve feet high, . li n.j f in Iiq m nf or - in rx7i 1 n rrn i -heels, and was covered with mottoes. to CiHsp Hands Across the Bloody Chasm," "The President must be a ft-..tn.:man " lFpntnn " fiehnrr " Src The other transparencies were filled with such mottoes as' "A Little Pool Pried ' Up, Now for Long Branch," "Settle Settled," "McKay sent to the Kitchen," "A, S. Merrimon, Legal Gov- Legislature." . 1 . Almost every business house and pri ' vate d welling along the line of march was brilliantly illuminated, and a gen--( ral good feeling was manifested on .very hand, .the ladies everywhere smiling upon the procession. v ! ! The column first halted at th,i l'esi Uence of James II. Separks, Esq,, who addressed the crowd for a few minutes as follows : F-tlhxo Citizens : Words cannot ex jirefcs my thanks to you for this com pliment you pay me in your passage thrdugh our streets; in this grand de- moiistration, gotten up both in honor of our recent victory in North Carolina, nd in honor bf Greeley and "Brown, those champions' of Constitutional Liberty and iCivil Government. Though our State tidket is in doubt, still we have much to rejoice, for three fourths kA the battle; has been ' won by the re Vim party ; and by the providence of ' God and. tha honesty of a Democratic L g;s.laturc, Judge Merrimon. will be 'iir nextGavernor. i ; All we demand is justice. Let the bal ilotbox be purged and justice meted ut and I confidently believe that Judge Merrimon is elected- by a large majority. The demonstration is an evidence to my mind that you btlicvo so too. This tines not loolc like an evidence of ou;r defeat, an evidence that we are dismay led.

I. a? the sun sets on the day of election in November next, so sure twill Greeley be our next President. I thank you again, fellow citizens, fr this e ill. . Good night. . '''.'' . . ' ' The residence of Judge Meriimon, the gentleman who lately so gallantly led the Conservative-cause in North Carolina, was next visited, and in res ponse to loud calls from the vast assem blage, said in substance : ')' My Friends and Fellow-Citizens I ara greatly obliged by this compli mentary call, and I tender you my cor dial thanks for it. I appreciate it as a mark of respect to me personally as well as a manifestation of the deep interest you feel in the success' of great funda mental principles which underlie end sustain your hopes of free, governmenty honestly and faithfully administered in your highest, best and dearest interests. A great political ' battle has been fought, and although it does not now ajipear that ; we have .realized all we could desire, nevertheless,' a noble vic tory has been won.i ' Indeed, it remains to be seen whether our victory and triumph are not complete: j I , Free government and . civil liberty have triumphed through the instrumen tality of the ballancing powers of goy ernmejt. The people have ( asserted through the like measures, their" right to rule, and their power under circum stances themo3t adverse, to -cast off a. political despotism which had fastened itself upon their vitality. They have in a measure restored hope, they have laid the ground work for future successes and triumphs which will surely bring a res toration of wholesome government, ot public confidence and general prosperi ty. Wc have solid cause for rejoicing and congratulation. And let us rejoice and be glad I I congratulate you ! J felicitate you ! I rejoice with you ! But our work is not done. We need, to Ascertain the full mcasuie of our sue- ; ecss and secure that. And let us under, stand antl appreciate the tact, that an other grat battle is to be 'fought in November' next. Our free system of government as a nation is in peril. It has been been prostitutedt to factious and sinister purposes, until we to-day live under a practical despotism. Thccon test is not one for political party ascen dancy, it is not a question of past party affiliations and party records of public j men, but it is 3 question of whether free government shall last and triumph and bless the American people, on tRe one hand, or whether a practical despotism shall triurowh and the American people become-i nation of subjects and slaves ! That is the issue before the" American people and upon which they will be called to pass in November next. It is, therefore, we find the patriots of all parties and without reference to past party records and! affiliations, laying down the prejudices of a- life timeupon the altar of their common country.aad coming up as one rran to the support of Greeley "and Brown fur President and . Vice Presi iiui... Itaa. ett a 4,-y::atiaiij-'f party.; it is a question of country or rio country it. is a question qf whether the govern ment of Washington and our fathers shall live or die ! - Whatever has been said of Mr. Gree ley's, record, audi his past political afiliations, all men of all parties accord to him honesty and patriotisvi. "That is much indeed in these degenerate times! He is not before the country as a parti san or as the candidate of a party, and hence, if he shall be elected, he will go upon the Constitution freer from party trammels and obligations than any man since the days of Washington. He can have no motive to do otherwise than administer the government under and through the Constitution, and thu3 in the best interests of the American peo ple. This is what the country needs. We need to nationalize public sentiment we - need a national patriotism, and this cannot come by despotism and force it can only come through the free and complete operation of the Consti tution and a peaceful and fraternal pol icy reaching and embracing the whole people. Let us prepare for the. great contest, resolve to make an effort and a sacrifice worthy the great and glorious end to be secured. - . ' ';. Again fellow citizens, I thank you for this call, and congratulate you 1 I re joice with you in all the sincerity of my heart. I bid you good night. ' ; Judge Shipp, who was present, res ponded brefly to calls, congratulating his friends upon; the, vigor with which they had set 'out upon the- new cam paign, notwithstanding the late appa rent defeat, and predicted that in No vember Radicalism 1 would be wholly overcome in North Carolina. - At the National Hotel the crowd was addressed ina nibst happy manner by Edmund Jonc3, Esq., Representative elect from Caldwell. At the Yarboro House Messrs. D. M. Batringer, Thos. J. Jaryis, of Tyrrell, and Josiah Turner, Jr., made brief addresses. Next the residence of Judge Fowle' was visited, and that gentleman briefly addressed the crowd. We would like to give a synopsis of the speeches maae by the different gentlemen, but find it impos sible to do so this morning. ' j There is no question that in Njvem , ber the Conservatives of North Carolina will endeavor to wipe out the small majority '. lately obtained by Radical fraud.;- X j, ; '-"- '. .'."' In the procession were a number ,of persons from Durhams, among them eleven colored men. We ' learn there are fifty colored Conservatives at that precinct, and it is expected that a hun dred will be polled there in Nvoeihber. - While the procession was passing the Capitol -square ou Edeuton . street, several rocks were thrbwn into its ranks, striking two gentlemen. It-was with much difficulty that some of the young men were kept back from the crowd from where the rocks came. One man was arrested for throwing stone in the procession ami convicted before the Mayor's court Saturday. l While the members of the various special committees performed their du ties with credit to 1 themselves, we do not consider it an unfair discrimination to mention a few names whose energy in making the demonstration a success is worthy of special note. . W. C, Parker,j Esq.; was the origina tor, and planned the large transparency "drawn on wheels byjtwenty men, on one side of which was the life-size picture of Horace Greeley. Richard Thompson," was the chief of the cannoniers" and ..with, his 6elect squad of twelve! men added a great deal to the success of the demonstration. " The caunon kept up with the march : . r.-'.v '. - ........ r tit"" ;. ' ing procession, and fired at intervals of five minutes during the night. ; R. II. Bradley. Esq , and T. T. Fen tress, as the special Committee in charge of the fire works, acted well their part They kept in line with the procession, and illuminated tire line of march with constant and incessant firing of iky rockets, roman candles, &c. Major B. C. Manly, as chief marshel, was indeed the right man in the right place, and the great success of the demonstration is attributable in a large measure to his excellent management. , Tue Adjiixistuatiox Sttlk ov Oba toiis. Our young friend White? the correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing lrom this place under a recent date, thu3 does np the Congressman elect for this District : i "A day or two after the election, "Billy " Smith, the successful candidate for Congressman in this District, arrived in Raleigh, with his family, and took rooms at the Yarboroagh Uoutse. He is one " of those jolly; lrce and ! easy, rol licking fellows who make friends every where, and is, therefore, popular in both parties. :. Sitting under the trees in front of the hotel, surrounded by half a dozen men, I heard him tell how he conducted his campaign, and repeat some of his stump speeches'. Talking to: a mixed audience, hclaid, he would first address himself to the negroes in something like the .following strain : "Now who is Horace Greeley, and what has he done ?, He was one of those Northern Aboli tionists who, by their agitation of the Anti-Slavery ; question, made your "masters more strict and, exacting than1 they were -before, j It was becapse there were such men . as Horace Greeley in the North that you were not allowed to go off the planta tions, but were watched and! suspected all the time. Gen. Grant never was an Abolitionist ; he never did anything to make your lot the harder, but he fought to make you free, and he's your friend now, while Horace Greeley hass gone back on you,; joined the Democratic party, and is in favor of putting you all back into slavery. - Are you going to vote lor such a jnan as that ?" This would never fail to-call forth the great est applause from the negfoes. Then turning to the white men in his audi ence, he would ask: "Is there any white man her who intends to vote for Hordce Greeley Who did so much as he to-bring on the war? If it had not been for him, and others like him, the South would to-day be as happy and prosperous as it was 15 years ago. And now, having freed your niggers and reduced you to poverty, he has the im pudence to solicit your votes. Will you otc lor him ?" " No ! no ! 1" would be the invariable reply. And the man who made such speeches as this had the face to boast of it a3 if it were a fair and honorable method of conducting a campaign."

The reports of the pastors showed the District to be in a thorough condition spiritually and financially. The business of the Con ference was harmoniously and effectively transacted. . Many fine and able ser mon's, were preached during the Con ference. Rev. J. E. Mann was present and preached to the education of his hearers. Rev, O. J.

A very promising revival is now going on as the fruitsxof the Conference. 1 The Mount Pleasant neighborhood is the garden-spot of Chatham. The people are pious, intelligentliberal and thrifty. Rev.

The TraosmoBtane Conntn -1 Panorama of. Beau til a 1 Seer the Situation -v of Athevill?- 1 Splendid Retreat Dunnr the 1 t . Weather the Temperature . ' Western Noith Carolina Uunsv parsed -: ' '" ' i, The following letter to the Norfc' i Virginian; under a recent date, by a worthy gcotleman now residing f t this city, and descriptive ? of Westci. 1 North Carolina, we transfvr to our col umr.3 with pleasure, believing that l will .interest the people of our State who have never visited the mountains, to read of their beauties and the exon erating effects' of the mountain air. Says the writer : "1 "i ' So many persons residing in - Eastern Carolina and Virginia, and especially those in crowded cities, are seeking a retreat lrom the excessive summer heat arid a more salubrious,: air among the mountains, that for their inforamioDf IJ avail myseli of a brief stay to say a favorable word about the town ot Ashe-; ville and the route by which it is reached. - "' . Through arrangements made along the connecting lines of travel, the fare from Norfolk, to Ashe ville and return, over four hundred miles of toad, of which all but twenty-five is by rail, and that by stage, has 'been reduced to twenty-two dollars, and to correspond ing rates from intermediate points,. The time consumed in the journey ; is two days, and Asheville is reached about 10 o'clock at night of the next day after leaving Norfolk, including a delay of four hours, from to o'clock at Raleigh, from want of connection. . This route takes you from the . latter place over the North Carolina railroad to Salisbury and thence over the Western Narth Carolina railroad to its present terminus at Oil Fort, a distance of 200 miles, at which place you arnve at 1 o'clock. The country traversed by the railroad west of Salisbury is highly improved and fertile, and after passing Morganton, las the train occasionally emerges from among the compact hills on either sidd into the more open spaces, a grand antl beautiful - panorama of mountain sctjnery breaks upon the view, and fills the mind with admiration at the stupendous works of nature seen on every .hand. . Regardless of all, the puf fing engine hurries you along these ever recurring and dissolving views, until the track strikes the very, base . of the first mountain verge, which, lor .two hours before has been seen converging fsom the northwest, and now arrests all further progress. And now we com mence the slow, tiresome ascent of the mountains in a crowded stage, drawn by the span of horses, over a rough and. stony road that tosses the carriage and its freight of passengers ' and trunks about as the small boat is tossed upon the stormy waters of the sea. . The as cent, however, is lull of interest and excitement, not alone because your close compacting within narrow walls favors and ev&t forcesafreer-wwialinteicoujse 1 among strangers, and fresh topics -of conversation are constantly elicited from' passing objects, but mainly because of the novelty of the ; scenery through, which and, along the steep mountain slope the road winds its lonely way. The rpad bed is made by excavating along the side of the hills and thus levelling a space barely sufficientto per mit (the passage of wheels. One side rises the high, precipitous mountains, on the other, but a few lee't from the rut worn by wheels, sinks a deep, almost perpendicular abyss only partially bid by the heavy growth of trees and shrub. But after hours of straining and toiling by the over-worked horses, relieved by occasional rests to recover breath and renew their strength, the coach and its exultant passengers emerge - from the deep, wooden glens below, to the sum mit of the mountain and to a wide ex panse of terri tory stretching away ia every direction and bounded by new mountain ranges. The descent is more gentle and and over smoother roads, but as the night closes in and its deep shades shut out every object from sight, the "monotony of the journey is unbro ken till at 10 o'clock the stage halts and its passengers dismount at the hotel. It has been a pleasant though fatiguing trip, and wearied ones soon sink into a deep slumber. -";,'"-. And now where is Asheville, the coun ty seat of Buncombe 1 A glance at the map shows its location at the western base of. the mountains thai; have .been crossed, and on the eastern verge of a rolling valley hemmed in on every side, by successive intersecting and interla cing ranges of lofty hills, i It elevation has been ascertained to be 2,250 feet above the level of the, ocean, and far up into the pure atmosphere ot heayen, to which the noxious exhalations of the low-lands never rise. Cool breezes come down these mountain slopes, and sweep along the ravine, fresh and pure, and imparting vigor and life to the body. In all my rambles and journeyings, I have never, during a week's experience, met a climate m midsummer more bra cing and refreshing, nor any atmosphere more pleasant and salubrious. The currents of watery vapor floating west--ward from the Atlantic, are chilled and condensed by contact with the moun tain tops, and discharge themselves in copious showers upon the eastern slopes, and then passing over, expand, and absorb their moisture. There is consequently much less rain; less damp ness in the locality in which Asheville stands, and the air is remarkably dry. ,This peculiarity is ; noticeable to the casual observer in the rapid evaporation of water spilled or remaining in the vessels in a room, in the absence of mildew and blight that elsewhere pen etrated into ladies' wardrobes and spot and rob its silks of their richest tints, and more especially in the rapid ten -dency of rivulets, - not fed by perpetual springs, lo dry up and disappear. The same property in the air is experienced in breathing it, and in the elasticity and energy it inspires. A resident of low flat lands of .Eastern Carolina can scearccly: realize the fall effects l a tiansfer to this mountain regipn with out a personal practical - experience of them.

In conse quence, large numbers of such ate at- -iacted to this pcint, and an increase of visitors' is noticed every year, as the knowledge of the talubriowsness of the climate is more generally diffused. There are supposed to be two or three hun "red now here, lu search of health and -length. It is the experience cf all, rot too much diseased to Lu beyond t' 3 reach of remedial measures, ! to feel 1 renewed vital power, after remaining here a short time, and to return with &3 accession ot bodily vigor and im proved health. - Ah atmosphere so pure rd,dryiaxemDt frum the tMis.nous ' if4ft6Ttoithhr mnp6. ft J proves to be, eminently favorable to the recuperation and recovery ofifie feeble and infirm. j ' The same writer from whom the cli matic table is taken, thus t peaks, in the' same communication, about the healtbiulness of Asheville : I , An attitude of much less than 2,000 feet in our latitude is ol little service, and as we approach the equator, a still greater one is required. -The conditions meet more fully in the sections specified than in any otber part of tue United States. -'..;, I , -i... .4 As a consequence of its combination f vi . uvauMiges, is-sueviiie lias long been famous as a resort for thoo suffer ing lrom pulmonary diseases. Etc. Cms, formerly of Charleston, South Carolina, Bays not one ot tue many consumptives, in different stages of the diseases, that he has Sent, to- Asheville, has failed to improve, and he regards itas the most healthful country in the world. ; " This opinion is corroborated by that of the distinguished prol. Dicksen, of Jefferson Medical College,Philadelphia, who states that - the health ot himself and family has nowhere improved as much as in Asheville. He is not aware of any other 6pot in Europe or America so full of all that k desirable as the country around Asheville. ; - . The town of Asheviile is small in population and space, yet it contains lour handsome churches, the same num ber of hotels, and many boarding hous es, into which visitors are received.; The surrounding country,! capable of being reclaimed and tilled, is brought to a high state of improvement, and the soil is rich and productive in cereals and in truits. Cheese-making has en gaged -the attention oi many, and large . numbers ot this . pro duct bl the diary are made and trans ported to distant places for consump tionr This branch of industry; bids lair to bring in a new era oi prosperity to this remote and isolated section. The abounding crops and the a&ence tmarket demands, among other., ud vantages offered to the visitorj causes the expenses of 'living to (be greatly lessened and-accordingly board yof ex cellent kind is obtained at the hotels and at private houses at the moderate rate. 25, to SO dollars per month less than at any otherXplace of ; summer resort in the South. These Urates, for summer sojourners, are in excess of or dinary charges, but become necessary because of the sliort season; and the increased - expense of preparing to en tertain the large i-umbers that cdme for a temporary stay paly. i; xx a ; But this communication is, I fear, bc coming too extended lor the column of a daily paper and its readers, must be brought to a close. It is written under the promptings of a desire to make more widely , known the means and resources for recruiting health within the limits of our own State, and the surpassing advantages offered among the hills of North Carolina for restoring an impaired and enfeebled constitution, and to the healthful for an escape from the enervating heats of summer. As. soon as the railroad much of w hich is graded up to and even beyond Asheville, 1 is compieieu, an unpreceucnieci lnnux 01 strangers may be expected from the sea board of .Virginia a3 well as of North Carolina, and the citizens or the town may in time begin the preparations needed fo entertain them. Its ; coming prosperity is an assured fact, j But toy words are intended for those who fr)m bodily disease or in pursui t of a cool air, or from whatever cause are perplex ing themselves with the question each year, as the sun sheds lm vertical rays, where shall I go to escape the hot weather torimprove my stock of health for the demands of the Fall's business to repel,, the insidious appreachws jof disease and to renew my wastirlg vital energies. To all such let me say, try Asheville. W. N.H. S. ; . . ' 5 . . . .' j By a French judicial enactment duel ing.is made a criminal offence in France.

How ever, in! making out the official v:te of 'the county, the Commissioneis dated it Tuesday, August the 6th, as if the pro- clamation, which was cot made until Wednesday, had been made on Tues day. .- ! ' - .? - - - . ' . The letter farther informs us that at Aiams Creek precinct, in Craven County, tlMs Registrars refused to allow the boks t bo .opened on Saturday E preceding the election, for inspection. Patits went there for the purpose of examining the iKmks, and challenging illegal voters, if any had registered, which the law expressly allows them to do ; but the Registrar, who is a Radical, positively refused to allow them, to do so. .This Registrar has thus made him pelf liable to ifctment under ? the I . ,U . : . ,' ,. -. I election law, and we hope the Grand Jury of Craven will get hold of him. Li.,- ; u Wl ! 0 f ' 1SJ. ZO' EAER TO CLASP ' HANDS --ACROSS TUE .tRLOODY v CHASM. .
