About one hundred and fifty per sons were on board, and it is estimated that between fiftv and seventy-five lives were lost. Preparations are being made in Berlin for a magnificent reception of the Emperors of Russia and Austria.

We arc called upon to chronicle another terriblo marine disaster. The steamer Bienville, from New York for Asplnwall, was burned at sea on tho 15th. Boats con- taining passengers endeavoring to escapo were swamped, and tho Inmates drowned, while ari explosion of the burning wreck added to the terrors of the scene. Out of a hundred andtwenty-nine persons who were on board thirty-four were unaccounted for, including nine lost at Eleuthera Island. A fire broke ont Tuesday in Canterbury . Cathedral. Tlio flames spread rapidly, and, a no water could be obtained for some time, the entire destruction of the magnifl o nt structure was feared. The flames were finally subdued without having effected very serious damage. The shrine of Thos. a' Beck ct was uninjured It has been the habit for the past three hundred years to hold religious serrices in the cathedral dai ly, and this custom was not broken by the lire, as tho services were held after the sup pression of the flame. Tho Louisville Convention of straight-out Democrats adjourned on Wednesday last. On third ballot John Quincy Adams, of Massa chusetts, was nominated for Vice-President. O'Conor positively refused to accept the nomination. ' Adams was notified by tele graph of his nomination. lie replied that he would gladly serve with O'Conor, but would accept nothing else, and that O'Conor must run. Whereupon, National Execu tive Committee of one from each State was elected, and the Convention adjourned without taking action on O' Conor's declina tion. The ticket stands: For President. Charles O'Couor, of New York ; For Vice President John Quluey Adams, of Massa chnsett. ..,-.. Jaris at FayettcvilloHo advises the Ladies to Ostracise anct Scorn , Itcpublicans. i The night after the Greeley festivities in FayettevIIIe, Mr. Thomas Jt Jarvis &q q O w -w - J VMSUI he said, was this, addressing himself to the Ladies: . f "You have the power by ostracism and scorn toward scalawags and their comrades, vo ucsiroy metaaicai party." I Tins was excellent advice; for an Elector at XArge on the Greeley: ticket. Ilia Deputy Excellency must have for gotten what his chief said about clasp- ing hands across ... the bloody chasm " otherwise, he would not have advised the Ladies to .ostracise and scorn Tier' publicans. Since The Boleigh Sentinel in 1868, advised Democrats to ostracise and proscribe Republicans, such advice has not been given until Mr Jarvis repeated It at Fayetteville. Republi cans care nothing for proscription by Democrats proper to inquire - who is Jarvis ? I. He is the man who canvassed tho West in 1871, in behalf of !tho un constitutional Convention scheme, had "whole acres of people" to hear him norate, and "set the mountains on fire in several places." j ., His Western campaign was a com plete failure. Wherever he spoke, the Democrats lost votes. The result of his labors in behalf of Convention! buried Mr. Jarvis, politically. He went to the West for the purpose of "fixing things" ' "jT; 1V!1, j UIuer " migui, uv uuwuihku I r.. ,on i iu uuvciuut in xot. II. He is tho man, who as speaker or the House of Itepresentatives, threw his influence against the Hon. (? j Josiah Turner, jr., Editor of The Sentinel, and endeavored to give the State printing to Maj. W. A. Hearne. In this he failed, as he did in the VVest. He in curred the deadly hatred of the Hon. (?) Josiah, and as head of the party, Tur ner issued orders that Jarvis must be killed politically that he was riot true, and must not be nominated for any office within the gift of the peopTe. III. He is the man who went to the Greensboro Convention a j candi date for Governor, but found soon af ter his arrival at that plae, that the crdors of Turner had preceded him and . ::! J be carried out. ScKcertMn was Cutvii that hooulyl not crrj, cent vote, that me remseaifOJDa a can . ... v didate before tho Convenwn. f . IV. He is, the man who returned to Tyrrell county and became a candidate for Congress. He is said to have made a bargain with Louis Latham, of Wash ington, for the purpose of securing the nomination for one or the other. The bargain was : That whenever it was as certained which one was the stronger before the Congressional Convention the other was to have the vote of his county cast for the stronger candidate. Several ballots showed that Latham was stronger than Jarvis, but His Dep uty Excellency did not have the vote of Tyrrell cast for Latham. The bal loting continued, and when Jarvis saw that the vote of Tyrrell would nomi nate, he ordered the delegate from that county to cast it for Hon. D. M. Carter. Thus it w as that Carter was nominated, and this is the way Mr. Jarvis kept faith with Latham. I V. He it is who desired a nomina tion for the Senate, but Mr. Latham couldn't see it: and tho Senatorial Convention resulted in the jnomi- ination of Latham and SatterthwTaite. VI. He is tho man who, after being defeated for the nomination of Gover nor, Lieutenant-Governor, Congress, and Senate, retired to Tyrrell and beg ged piteously to be nominated for the House of Representatives. His con stituents had received orders from Tur ner, and they laid Mr. Jarvis on , the political shelf by refusing to re-nomi nate him. I Such is the man who has. been os tracised and scorned by his party ; there is'no place, however humble, that the Democrats would think of bestowing upon one of the "Appointors General," as Chief Justice Pearson styled Messrs Warren and Jarvis. The arrogance of his ex-Excellency is wonderful. Al most spit upon by his own pariy ; de graded by repeated defeats, he has the presumption to advise North Carolina ladies to ostracise and scorn men who a A . A 1 areas laraoove nim-in intellect; ana breeding, as the sun is above theearth ! Having lost favor with the party by his assault upon Turner, it was neces- -r A - 1 I A 1 sary lor jur. jarvis to uo someuiing extra to convince Josiah of his loyalty to Democracy and Ku KUxisrri. His advice to ostracise and scorn- was in accordance with Turner's teachings ; hence, Mr. Jarvis gave tho advice. -Other Democratic speakers who aro in good standing with party, may be av owed to advise the use of ostracism and scorn for party purposes J but man who was defeated for the nomina tion of Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Congress, Senate, and lastly, , by his own county people lor tne jnouse oi Representatives, is under the ban, and has no right to call upon the ladies to place other people in like condition with himself. The unfitness of Mr. Jarvis for any public position was de monstrated by the advice ho gave at Fayetteville, as well as the shallowness of his intellect. v ' Proscription. ij . V: fc : ; "Proscription for opinion's sake"' does not in reality exist except in rare cases, and in these-it is perhaps a mild form of punish ment where the rope or the halter , would answer abetter purpose.- -SUc.wi7Ze Intel ligencer.i , . . There are ten thousand voters in this State who are Repuhllcans, and would vote that ticket, were thev not deterred from so doing by the ostracism and proscription of the Radical Greeley Democracy. , The.

N Remove the 'social State by overwhelming majorities. The Jntelligehcer chooses to be can- am. 'tne assertion that the "rope or the halter would .answer a better pur pose," than ostracism or proscription, is not jaccordingj to orders that have been issued from headquarters. It is understood among Greeley's supporters that '. reconciliation " and ' clasping hands across the bloody chasm,"' must be the cry until Greeley is. elected. The Intelligencer does not see fit to assume the role of the hvbocrite. and therefore. , i ' su srests the "roDe or ther halter." for suggests the "rope or ther halter." for men who vote the Republican ticket. Inasmuch as Senator Stephens, of Cas well, Wyatt Outlaw, of Alamance, Col - grove, or Jones, and thousands of oth ers whb voted the Republican ticket and made war upon the Democratic party, suffered death by the halter, it is probable the "rope and halter" will be brought into use again after Greeley is elected. Greeley will , be defeated.- Merrimon will not be seated as Gover nor, and! the KepuDlicans oi this and other, Sjouthern States will not be visit ed with the "rope or halter" instead of ostracism and proscription, for four years more.

He will make a better President for four years to come than in the four years past. I think he will be freer to act 'and have a purer administration since certain factions and impracticable men have left him. I have no hesitancy in saying that I believe that it will be for the best interests of our country that he should be continued in office for another term.

In the same manner was the De mocracy! overthrown there. The ma jorities were comparatively so small as to require every Democratic vote to hold the State, and certain supposed Democratic managers were willing to sacrifice several thousand Democratic votes to pander to a few hundred sore head Republicans. The State was lost, and not only State officers are Repub lican, but the Republican United States Senator is now continued tor six years. In North Carolina the . Democracy should have had still hiarher Drosnects. it is a State made up with much the same material as those other States that have driven out the carDet-basrarers and repudiated zvepuoucanism. me oiaie "l a. i - T 1 i " rrii. m a had given a Democratic majority; had a Democratic .Legislature, r a rmajority o Democratic congressmen and a Demo cratic United States Senator. But the same fatal error occurred.

The Democratic candidates for Gov ernormade indecent haste to declare himself for Greeley. From the mo ment he did so he ceased to be a Demo cratic candidate and became a Conser vative. I.

From tho York Tribune August 24. There are ; no i douht Liberals and Democrats enough in the United States to elect Mr. Greeley? President in No- vember. Whether they; will do it or not is another . question, the answer to I which depends almost -as much upon the manner in wmeh they conduct the l strencrth. It is certain that the Liberals (and Conservatives for instance have a their opponents there were Bjamirsaxy organized, ana ' Drought .their whole strength to. bear so j effectively that If j iney comu not secure u gvuuiue victory they at. least savea themselves from rout. Elsewhere the preparations of of the Administration party have been eauallv thorouerh. and thev have the great advantage of controlling all the patronage . and other influence of the government. On our side too much always to the biggest army, but rather to the best drilled; Our campaign is I fl.ol, i:i,l "'r? oxxy, auu vrccucim to be beaten unless j we do more than we are doing now -to get our men into the field and secure recruits from among the wavering and dissatisfied. We say, then, to the friends of the Liberal cause : T 1. Don't waste all your strength oh parades. Banners, bonfires, cannon and torchlight processions are very well in their way, laut they don't make voters. They only amuse the men who would vote for your candidate anyhow. 2. Don't rely too much upon public meetings. They are one-sided affairs, which neither develop your own strength nor influence the followers of the opposite party, j I 3. Don't rely toomuch upon circulars. Very few voters read them. ' They are used for kindling and shaving paper. Besides, the' Grant party has abused the system to such an extent that a man distrusts whatever comes to him in that shape. ' f 4. Don't waste your money on Cam paign Chowder Clubs, and other frauds. This, is a great season for impecunious political -suckersi-Be: as civil s you please, Dut show them the door. 5. Organize the party thoroughly by districts, in every city, village and township of the United States. If there is no local organization where you live, get together a' few of your neigh bors and form one. '. i 6. As soon as a club is formed appoint active canvassers to visit every house. Thus every man yho believes in the principles of our party can be enrolled, and the wants of every district can be ascertained. i -7. Have District meetings at regular times, so that the spirit and interest of the members may be sustained by as sociation.' Never mind gatherings for buncombe, but meet often for business. Put your clubs into communication with the county or State associations, and report to headquarters your needs, your progress, and your strength, j 8. Do these things at once. Begin your local clubs to-day. The opposite party is active and well disciplined, and we are not. We have a great deal of lost time to make up, and only a little while to do it in. With energetic and well directed1 effort, our victory! in November is certain ; but the prize will be snatched from our hands if we do not rouse ourselves in season. I The advice given to the Liberals by The Tribune, is equally applicable to Republicans of this State. Read the article carefully and act upon it at once. The Presidential! canvass should be opened immediately. Ed. "A Shabby Showing." "We are becoming heartily tired and disgusted with hearing about the West and the hres lighted in her mountains just on the eve of every election, jln the late election she has behaved most shabbily, and notwithstanding the fact that the whole of our party power in speakers and workers was thrown with in her limits." She failed to appreciate the importance of the occasion, and through their indifference and luke- warmness, caused the defeat of Mem mon. - t ; ; - " .With one or two exceptions the ex treme -.Eastern counties, with over whelming majorities, received no out side help, yet in I almost every county the Democracy . gallantly held their own, and in others, as in Edgecombe, they gained handsomely upon their former strength. so let us hear, no more about the West and its fidelity, &c.

Asneviue Jr'ioneer. The Tammany and Greeley Coall- . tion. ' ' -Every true and honest : Democrat in New York rejoices at tho noblo stand which the Apollo Democracy havo taken in regard to the ! Presidency. That organization which last Fall swept the corrupt Tammanyl ring out of power, have determined to go ahead with the good work then begun, and to defeat the infamous Greeley and ; Tammany coalition. And just hero we wish to explain to our readers who; may not fully understand the subject, the nature of this Greeley and Tam many coalition. Tho deposed leaders of Tammany havo been keenly on tho lookout ever since their overthrow by the Appolo Hall Democracy for an op- . portunifyto regain their dost power.. The defection of the Liberal j Republi cans furnished, as they supposed, that opportunity. Tho genius of Peter B. Sweeny conceived the scheme of mak-;1 ing a bargain with the Greeley Repub licans to the effect . that : Tammany would work up the nomination, of Greeley at Baltimore in return for . tho ... Greeley influence in afterward rcstor-. Ing the old Tammany ring to power. We could furnish elaborate I proof of this statement if it were necessary, but the facts are so apparent !to ; every thoughtful observer that it is needless to follow the subject further Tho very . fact that Tie Tribune suddenly stopped its crusade against the Tammany ring; , the fact that the remains of Tammany are now clinging to 'Greeley as drown ing men clutch at straws, amply show the nature of their coalition. Now the honest Democrats of New York, who are represented by tho Apollo Hall organization, are deter-, mined that this shrewd Tammany scheme i shall not bo consummated. They had to labor hard last Fall to break the Tammany ring : and they do not mean to allow it to bo so quickly welded by this coalition with Greeley and his gang of hungry office seekers. This is the whole question in a nut shell, and the ring papers may howl themselves hoarse in their impotent rage against the men who killed Tam many and who intend to prevent its resurrection. The intelligent Demo crats ot New York do not mean to be sold out b the tricksters who aro long ing for their old feeding places at tho -public crib. It was a wily dodge, well worthy or the great political tactician who conceived it; but happily it was' seen through Dy the keen-slerhtcd friends i of the people who ; lead tho Apollo Hall organization, and the city . is now safe from the calamity of Tam many restoration by means of the Gree ley coalition.
