Allnjaniaf. hth. Mondav morning the canal boat J. R. Thomas, Captain Joseph Potter, was en tering the lock at the end ot the nine-mile level, known as '"Branagan's Ixck," which is nine miles front this city, when it be came the duty of a driver named John Bridgeon to get on the boat for a bow-line to snub the boat. Rridgcon jumped on the boat, and as he did so the beat, which had been "cramped." gave a start, and the unfortunate man fell between the lock walls and the boat, his feet failing to retain their hold on the boat on account of the frost upon the latter, which caused them to slip. As the poor fellow dropped in the narrow space between the boat and the wall the boat gave a start and one terrible ory an nounced the fate of the unfortunate man. His body was 'fearfully crushed, and the head perfactly flattened by the terrible I pressure that had been upon it. Jndgeon wis 43 years ot age and resided near the Point of Rocks. ia n - : Russia Moving South. Philadelphia Time. It is not impossible that the rebellion in Kohistan, of which mention is made in a Renter's dispatch from Simla, may be a Russian device for moving troops south of the Ilindukush prolessedly for the pur pose of assistingtup Shere Ali in putting down a rebellioVuanrcrous to Russian in terests in the adjacent province of Balkhi ; really for the purpose of strengthening him by holding together his unruly clans men in the mountain regions of the Xorth, and so leaving him free to conduct offen sive operations against t4ie English on the south, keeping open the while a line of communication with Russia over which may. be forwarded military supplies for the use of the army and to the south of Cabul. This, of course, , is a mere guess at the truth ; but it is a guess that conforms to the policy of Russia in dealing with the Central Asiatic tribes, and that is sup posed by the drift of events as demon strated by the action of the Cabinets of I St. Petersburg and St. James WILMINGTON, N.

Housing Scales Torchlight Procession, Headed by the Brass Hand Tour gee Harangues His Party. Sun Corrcondettce. Grkexskoro, X'ovember G. According to previous notice, on Momlay night an immense torchlight procession paraded our streets, headed by the Greensboro brass band, with many devices such as "Reform." 'Give the laborer "Work," "'Tonrgee, 40 Acres" and picture of a mule. The main one, however, represented a man with his earet-bag at his feet, a darkey holding a mule in the corner of the fence, and written above was ''.Before the Election:" on the oth er side a man at the head of the mule, the darky at 'his heels, the mule having sent him a kiting over the fence with his hind feet, and written over "After the Election." Gathering in the parade a very large crowd in front of the court house, speeches were made by Gilmer. Morehead, Edwards, Caldwell, Staples, Scales and others with the very best of feeling and good order, while Tourgee, with his dark assemblage, held forth at Benbow Hall. The Radicals were sanguine even yesterday morning ap parentlv and made a irreat struggle, and I sruess about the last great one thev will make in the Fifth District of Xorth Caro lina, as (Jen. Scales is elected by such a large majority now that it is questionable whether after this there will be many Rads in these parts. His majority is largely in eivuM'd over that of Boyd two years ago, .about (100 in the county, and so it is rep- resented in T lie oilier counties. Jt is a grand triumph to a grand, good man, and a terrible defeat of one who is looked upon as a bud man. and an enemv to our everv b'est interests. The election was quiet and orderly, only two altercations. Mr. Tour gee will now have a chance to emigrate.

The Next "Senate. - The United States Senate consists now of thirty-nine republicans, thirty-six demo crats and one independent David Davis, of Illinois. This makes a total of seventy six Senators. Three republicans Senators Sargent, Mitchell and Matthews- have al ready seen democratic successors elected. Senatprs Dorsey, Spencer, Connover and Patterson will also, certainly be succeeded by democrats; and these changes, if none others occurred, would leave the next Sen ate with thirty-two republicans, forty-three democrats and one independent. C mecticut,- has elected a republican legislature, which gives a republican in place of Senator' Barnum ; Pennsylvania has gone republican, which means that Senator Don Cameron will be re-elected. Xo other changes are probable, and the next Senate should therefore stand : Dem ocrats, 41 ; republicans, 33. and independent,!. Itu$friaft Has ot uj.juic. I'hilatUljJ.Ui Tit. Writers in the English newspajter.-. mil. itary and otherwise, and writers who echo the sentiments which the English newspa pers express, seem to find an insuperable obstacle to a Russian advance upon India in the suppositi6n that the Russian base of supplies must be at an inordinate distance from the scene of actual hostilities. Su perficially considered, there is much iu th: position to warrant the deduction drwn from it. that England has nothing to fear from Russia in the far East : but the more that the premises are examined the Ie v lid do the conclusions apjear to b Primarily, there is ground for JH lu v.n that Russia regards an attack upon ludi.i at present as nothing more than a diver sion; as a'means calculated to engross th -attention of the native Indian army and ..f a large portion of the Angle-Indian army, and so to pi event a In dian contingent appearing in Europe when the war is reopened thus nullifying Ixml Beaconsfield's tiireut'as expressed'but a few weeks ago in the movement of tnop from Bombay to Malta." If this be the ob ject of moving upon India, very few Rus sian soldiers will be employed." It wilL.be sufficient for Russia to stir iip the Afghans to the point of carrying on an offensive war, supporting them by drafts from the armies of the conquered Khanates beyond, the Hindookush. and keeping the mixed force in form by throwing fn a few regi ments of regular soldiery avIio wii! give to the dash" of the barbarians the necessary staying power. For such an army as this, a base of supplies wwould be a matter of small moment The irre gulars would be accustomed to living on the couutry. anil would require no commis sariat ; provisions for the regulars could.be sent on from Orenburg the present ter minus of the line of railway extending east ward from St. Petersburg 'through Moscow and military .supplies could be provided in the same maimer. The dispatch of stores across the desert' by caravan, of course, would be a most tedious operation : but it presents no insurmountable difficulty if the quantity of stores required is within reasonable bounds. The fact that six great caravans arrived at the capital of Afghan istan between the middle of July and the end of August of the present year returning westward almost immedi ately, and without loads may be. taken as something akin, to positive proof that the suppiies necessary for such la campaign as we have suggested actually ai in store at Cabul at the present time. It must be re membered, moreover, that the Russian scheme of conquest in Asia has been so well planned., and has been carried out so judiciousl7 as almost to justify the recept assertion that "the Russian base of sup plies has kept pace with the -vanguard of the Russian army ef conquest." Each ad vance has been followed by .a period of rest, during which the new position has been made secure by the erection of forti fications and by bringing forward the ma terial of war to be used in the next onward move; and the conquered tribes have been so manipulated that they have be come the allies of their conquerors. Russia to'day posses a chain ' of arscauls stretch ing from her advanced post' on i the north ern declivity of the- Hindookush across .Bokhara, Khokand and the Kirghis coun try to Orenburg, and thence across Russia proper to the very banks of the Xeva. With such a iine of communication open, it is not safe for England to lull herself into security in regard to her Indian Em pire by affirming that for want of a suit able base of supplies Russia cannot con duct aa offensive war. Why It Was Hroken Oil. The failure . of the matrimonial negotia tions between the young Prince Xapoleon and the Princess Thyra, it is asserted, was caused primarily bv monev difficulties. All sorts of stories have been told about the wealth of the ex-Empress Eugenie, and her fortune has been alternately exagger ated or underestimated as friends or foes have been discussing it. And now comes Le Figaro with all sorts of statistics on the subject, which it declares are trust .jworth', and which a confiding public may accept or not, as it likes. At any rate, according to it, the young prince is by no means rich, possessing only a revenue of of about 40,000 francs, (S8,0(t0j, which comes- from a little property situated at Yicentini near Goritz, in lllyra, which was left him by Princess Bacciochi. OfY-ourse this is not nearly enough for a prince to marry on, and the Court .of Copenhagen, when the question of settlements was broached, turned up its nose at such a penniless youth. So the ex-Empress, like a good mother, has come to Tier son's aid. Her income, says Le Figaro, is in the. neighborhood of 450.000 francs a year, and two-thirds of this she is going to turn over to him. It is not a verv great deal $00,000 a year. ' ' 1 A I'rogresf-ivc Southern Vity. Despite the fact that Atlanta, Ga., is practically without water-power, it is mak ing rapid strides as a manufacturing city. At the present time, within a radius of twenty miles of that place, there are enough j spindles to annually consume ten thousand j ball s of cotton; one cotton lat'tory ol that city employs six hundred hands. Atlanta also has a rolling mill, employing three hundred men; three railroad car-shops, em ploying several hundred, and the largest brewery sonth of Cincinnati, four boiler shops, six iron foundries, two door and sash factories, and four plaining mills. Fcr the year ending with August there were ad ded nearly thirty per cent, to the manr facturing industries of that city. How to Kxtiuguish Chimney l-'Jrts. M. Queynet, a French chemist, recom mends as a means for rapidly extinguishing fires in chimneys that alKmt 100 grariiines (1,543 grains troy, or 2 pounds) ofj sul phured of carbon -be burned upon the hearth. The best way to burn the sulpha ret is to turn it out in u broad tin nlate. It ignites at once, burns rapidly, and pro duces great volumes of the noxious sulphu ric acid gas which extinguishes the flame at once. Thesulphuret of carbon, a liquid combination of sulphur and carbon, fbould be kept in large bottles, to allow for its great expansion. Iu Paris the firemen, by using this compound as directed, in three months extinguished 251 fires cut of 319, and that, toowithout needing to go upon roofs or deranging apartments in any way.

Baxter, of Princes Ann county, who arrived in the citv thi murnl nig. brines us the particular "of a disturb ance which took place at. Kerapsville rt night, which, but for the coolness and de t rmmation of the few. whites on the spot, might have aud probably would have lleen :i terribly bloody affray. " It apjars that the m-grucs, who are in i large majority in that immediate vicini ty, had gathered during the day in Kemps vdle. where they had Ieen harangued bv two incendiary speakers Willis 1 lodges, f"IoesO and Noah lamh. both of whom Acre reported in thispajer sometime since for using incendiary language at a negro meet ing ii that county. Iate in the evening, after theclose of the polls, a difficulty occurr ed in front of theold hotel between a gentle man aud a negro, in which each were join ed by 'their friends, the blacks outnumber ing the whites by at least five to one, the latter leingveutirely unarmed, and unpre pared for any difficulty, while the contrary was evidently the case with the' negroes. In the fracas a number of shota were fired, one of which took effect on the inside of the thigh of Colonel "W. J. Griggs, of Hay .Side, inflicting a painful' but not danger ous wound. The few whites repulsed the negroes, who retired to a short distance, in obedience to the orders of Sheriff White hurst, who had hastened to the spot and commended the peace. One of the negroes, all of whom evinced a jiilien and insolent manner, insisted tij on :oiig to the hotel to procure something he had left. Sheriff Whitehurst endeav ored ineffectually to dissuade him, and fi nally went with him to the hotel, when the negro pulled a double-barrelled shot gun from under the building. A gentle man who saw t lie act seized the gun., and broke it against a tree. The main . body of the- negroes upon this again charged their few opponents with a yell, but upon being met with a brisk fusilade of pistol shots, again retired to a short distance. The excitement had now spread over the neighborhood, and Dr. Uaxter, with others, repaired." to the spot to aid their friends and neighbors.' Aa the Doctor rode by the excited mob of negroes one of them remarked, "We will fix that U - to night 1" A few minutes af terwards, and just before 10 o'clock an other grand charge was made, the negroes yelling and firing their pistols as they ad vanced. The whites stood their ground and returned the fire with effect. The ne groes stood one volley, and then broke like sheep, our informant thev seemed almost to itatinir that have winev m getting over fences in their doinoral ized flight. One negro, by the name of Thomas Kiliot, living two miles from KempsVille, and who had on a previous occasion In-en conspicuous in a difficulty with the whites, was mortally wounded, and when Dr. Daxter left Kemps vi lie this morning, was not expected to live half an hour. Four ot her negroes were badly wounded, whose names are Abram Klliott, Irving I Griffin, Klisha 'White and Willis Stevens.

Xkw York, Xov. 5.-At Tammany Hall it was announced as early as 11 o'clock that Commissioner Davenport, who is also the United States chief supervisor of elec tions, had caused the arrest of about three hundred voters on the lHCrt naturalization papers, and was holding them in $2,000 ijaUreach. Ex-Judge Spencer had a con sultation with other lawyers iu the interest of Tammany Hall, who later waited upon Cominissioner Davenport. Three United States commissioners are holding court to-day, and their rooms are crowded. A number of persons were arrested on charges of attempting to vote illegally.

There ia no reason to doubt that the ' ancceag of thU diversion at this time would have tnado unity of party action impracticable here after. The stakes were the counts of Charleston, and the jdayen were tlie Dem- . ocralic party and .Mr. Caranliell. Nobly have the Democracy rcuponued to the aj peals made to them.
