He was also visited by tbe Prefeot of the French De? partment of Bases Pyrenee, who deli vered a lefter from Thiers to the Hing, congratulating him on his recent escape from assassination. American natters. CHARLESTON, August 5.-Arrived steamship Georgia, New York. WASHINGTON, August 8.-Senator Sumner was the r?cipient of a large number of letters, and telegrams from all sections of the country, heartily con gtatulating him for the stand taken by him in his letter. Most of these letters were written on Wednesday, as soon as the writers bad perused bis letter to the colored people. From a large number of Massachusetts Republicans, he has re? ceived a telegram congratula tic g him, and he has reason to believe tbat othti prominent men in his State will soon follow the example of Gen. Banka and announce their support of Greeley and Brown. Mr. Sumner says he cannot doubt that tbs feeling of the country for Greeley and Brown will assume the form of a great revolution, whioh will sweep the country as it has not been swept for years by a. political. party. He looke upon the nomination of Grant at Phila? delphia as-quite providential. Pr o vi dence, he says,.Was wiser than any of the foliticians or public men of the country, f any other man than Grant had been nominated, the Republican party would have stood solid and united as before, Then the Demoorats would have-made a straight-out nomination, and the bitter? ness and hostility of years would still have, been kept up.. By Grant's nomina? tion, however, many of the beet men ol the Republican party were driven off, and they, uniting with the Demoorats, formed a party whose central idea wai reconciliation and peaoe, a recognition OJ the' rights of all men before the law; ssc ah Obliteration of the bitter lines tbai have divided the different seotions of th? country since the. war. He is very hope ful pf the result, and does not see wba possible chance there is for Grant's re election? < While some of the Giant ofBoials pro fess to be very anxious for civil Bervid reform, and pretend to oppose the as sessmentqf clerks for political purposes it is remarked that the Chronicle thi morning editorially advocates the assess mente, and- intimates - that olerks win will not subscribe should be removed. HABBISBUBO, August*.-The mach in shops of the Harrisburg Gar Company just rebuilt, were burned to-day; los $50,000; Three firemen w?re fatall, injured by falling walls. PHILADELPHIA, August 4.-Hour Simmons' wagon faotory was turned tc day; loss $50,000. WASHINGTON, August 4.--It is le ar ne that Dir. J. B. Withers, of Warrantor has challenged Col. J. W. Mosby. Th difficulty arose, it is supposed, from Joint .political discussion.. Tho cha longo was promptly accepted, bot bot parties were arrested and held in $4,00 bail not to fight in Virginia. Gerritt Smith has visited the Ku Kin prisoners at Albany, and urges olemeno in the cases of Samuel G. Brown, age sixty, who pleaded guilty nuder bad ai vice, and. Hezekiah Porter, aged nim teen, who is dying, and also David Co lins. . Mr. Smith says, in his letter 1 President Grant, that Shot well, one < the North Carolina men, is defiant an ?corns pardon, and is studying la\ Mr. Smith, however, suggests these pa -dons should be postponed until afb the election, as it might be thought th -clemency was prompted by interest? motives. The letter is quite short, at so ouriously written that the entire fon of exports in the Attorney-Genera! office was required to put it in shap that Grant would be able to master i purport. Nothing, either through private i regular channels, comes to obange tl probable saooess of the Conservatives : North Carolina, as far as heard from, despatch states that Caldwell, Repub can, bas gained about 2,500 votes ov the Democratic vote in 1870. At mi night, Saturday, sixty-three Conn ti show a Republican gain of 1,550 ov the vote of 1870. A later despatch stat that seventy-one Connies give Caldw a Republican gain of 2,737 votes on the vote of 1870, leaving 2,268 to overcome by Republicans in the remai ing twenty-one Counties. Nsw YORK, August 4.-A Haleigh sj cial to the Herald, last night, says i turns from North Carolina come in sic ly, and are so oonfased and oonflioti as to inorease the general doubt and t certainty as to the actual result. Den orate assert that their candidate is ele ed by 1,500 to 2,000 majority, a Republicans claim about tho samo n jority for their candidate. RALEIGH, August 4.-Official and p tial returns have been received fr? seventy-five Counties, whioh reduce 1 Shipp majority to some 2,000; the mauling seventeen Counties are moe em?tt?' and will not materially ohai these figures. The Republicans conci the State by from 1,500 to 2,500 ma rity, There is still intense interest : in the result, as the Democrats aro si to believe in a victory until the fad established. The rejoioing in the St will be great as soon as the positive turns will exhibit the eleotion of the ] mooratio ticket.

The Times1 Raleigh special say8 Caldwell has 1,434 majority in seventy-four Counties, and returns from the remaining Counties will probably reduce the majority to 800, but the official ooont only will deter? mine the result. The Tribune, World nod Sun still claim that the State has gone Democratic. COLLINGWOOD, August 5.-The pro? peller Robertson, from Chicago hither, with over 16,000 bushels wheat, waa burned. No lives lost. Sheridan and Graut went fishing on Saturday. BRISTOL, R.

The following official returns of majorities for Merri? mou have been received here: Catawba, 815; Daplin, 715; Alamanoe, 255; Gas? ton, 239; Hornet, 176. WASHINGTON, August 5, 1872.-DEAR SIB: I have seen tho letter addressed to me by you, through the public print?, and I notice especially that while ani? madverting Upon my support of Horaoe Greeley, you say not one word in vindi? cation of that compound of pr?tentions known as Grantism, in contradistinction to Republicanism, which you would in? stall anew in the Government. Yon are greatly concerned about the oompany I keep. To quiet yoar solicitude, I beg leave to say that in joining the Republi? cans, who brought forward an original Abolitionist, I find myself with so many others devoted to the canse I have served always; that I had not missed yon, until you hastened to report absence; nor bad I taken account of the Southern seces? sionists, who, as you aver, are uow co? operating with me in support of this original Abolitionist, except to rejoice that, if among former associates some, like yourself, hesitate, their places are supplied in an unexpected quarter. You entirely misunderstand me when you introduoe an incident of the past and build on it an argument why I should not support Horaoe Greeley. What has Preston Brooks to do with the Presiden? tial election? Never, while, a sufferer, did anybody hear me speak of him iu unkindness; and now, after the lapse of more than half a generation, I will not unite with you in dragging him from the grave, where he sleeps, to aggravate the passions of a political conflict, and ar? rest the longing for concord. And here is the essential difference between you and mo, at this juncture. I B?'ZO tho opportunity to make tho equal rights of all secare, through peace and reconcilia? tion; but this infinite boon you would postpone. Seven years hove passed since we laid aside our arms; but unhap? pily, daring all this period, there has been a hostile spirit toward each other, while the rights of my colored fellow citizens have been in perpetual question. Seven years mark a mateiial period ol human life. Should not the spirit be obanged with the body? Can we not, after seven years, commence a new life, especially when those onoe our foes re? peat the saying, "Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God?" 1 declare my preference for an original Abolitionist as' President, and you seefa to or?ate a diversion by crying ont thal Democrats will support him; to which 1 reply, eo muoh the better. Their sap port ia the assurance that the cause ht has so'constantly guarded,.whether bi equal rights or r?conciliation, is accept?e by Democrats; and this is the pledge o: a true union, beyond anything in oat history. It is a viotory of ideas, with out wbioh all other victories muBt fail. To intensify your allegations, you in eist that I am ranged with Jeffersoi Davis and Robert To o m bs; bat, pardo t me; nobody knows bow the former wi! vote, while Robert Toombs is boisteroui against Horaoe Greeley; and with hin are Stephens, Wise and Mosby. Th ii is all very poor, and I mention it only ti exhibit the character of your attempt In the same spirit, you seek to avoid th< real issue, by holding up the possibility of what you call a Demooratio adminia tration, and you have the oourage t< assort, as within my knowledge, that b; the eleotion of Horaoe Greeley, Congres' is handed over to the oontrol of th party who hare positively denied th rights of the blaok mea. You say that I know this. Mr. Speaker, I kuow no snob thing, and you should Lo sufficiently thoughtful not to assert it. lam entirely satisfied that a canvass like the pr?sent, where the principles declared at Cincinnati are openly accept? ed on one side and not contested on the other, must result in a larger number of congressional representatives sincerely devoted to the rights of the o ol or od citi? zen than -ever before. The Democrats will be pledged, as never before, to the ruling principle-that all men are equal before the law-and also to the three constitutional amendments, with the o?anse in-each empowering Congress to enforce the same by appropriate legisla? tion. But, besides Democrats, there will be Liberal Republicans pledged like? wise, and also your .peculiar associates, who, I trust, wUl . not betray the cause. Senators and Representatives calling themselves..-Republicans have been lat? terly in a large majority in both houses, but the final measure of civil rights, to which you refer, though urged by me almost daily, has failed to become a law; less, I fear, from Democratic opposition than Republican lukewarmness and the want of support in the President. The great issue wbioh the people are called to decide in November is un the President, and nobody knows better than yourself that the House of Repre? sentativos, chosen at the same time, will naturally harmonize with him. So it has been in oar history. Now, harmony with Horace Greeley involves what I most desire. With snob a President, Congress will be changed. For the first time since the war, the equal rights of ult will have a declared representative at the head of the Government, whose pre? sence there will be of higher significance than that of any victor iu war; being not only a testimony, but a constant motive power in this great? cause-, Opposition, whether- open hostility - or more subtle treachery, will yield to thu steady in? fluence of such a representativo. There lore, io looking to the'. President, I look also to. Congress; which will, take itt eh?raoter in large measure frc m him. lu choosing Horace 'Greeley, we dc the best we can for the whole Govern meut; not only in the exeoutive, but iti the legislative branch; while we decline to support nepotism, repayment of per sonal gifts by official patronage, seizure of the war powers, and indignity to .thc black republic; also, the various inoapa oities exhibited by the President, Soc the rings by which he governs; none o wbioh can you defend. You know wei that the rings are already condemned bj the American people. For myself, I sa? plainly, and without hesitation, that '. prefer Horace Greeley with any Congres possible, on the Cincinnati platform, t< President Grant, with his pretension und his rings, a vote for whom involve the support of all his pretensions, witt prolonged power in all the rings. Tbere must be another influence am another example. The Administration in all its parts, is impressed by the Prc aident. Let his soul he enlarged wit the sentiment of justice, and quickeuei by industry; and not only the tw Houses of Congress, but the whole oourj try, will feel the irresistible authorit over-spreading, pervading and permeat ing everywhere. Therefore, in propoi tion as you are earnest for the rights c the colored oitizen, and place them aboi partisan triumph, you will be glad t support the candidate whose heart hi always throbbed for humanity. Tb country needs such a motive power i the White House. It needs a generoi fountain there. In one word, it neec somebody different from the present ii cutnbeut; and nobody knows this bett? than Speaker Blaine. The personal imputation you mal upon me, I repel wtth the indignation < an honest heart. ? I was a faithful suj porter of the President until somewh tardily awakened, by bis painful oonda on tho island of St. Domingo, involvit the seizure of the war power, in violatic of the Constitution, and indignity to tl black republic, in violation of intern tional law; aud when I remonstrati against these intolerable outrages, I w sut upon by those uctiug in his belia Suoh is tho origin of my opposition, could not have done less, without failu in that duty which is? with me, thu ru of life; nor can I doubt that, when pt tissu sentiments are leas active, you w regret the wrong you have done m Meanwhile, I appeal confidently to t candid judgment of those wbo, amit ull present differences of opinion, uni in the great object, far above party President, to wbioh my life is devoted, am, sir, yonr obedient servant, - (Signed,) CHARLES SUMNER.

A NEW PACTFIO RAILROAD.-The move? ment of the capitalists of San Francisco, in favor of a new Pacific railroad, daily grows stronger, and the enterprise may be looked upon as a thing already ac? complished. In this new road-the At? lantic and Pacific-the only substantial prospeot is oponed to the people of Cali? fornia and of St. Louis aud tho'West of estaolishing a suitable and permanent highway aoross the continent. The pro? posed ronte, which is along the thirty fifth parallel, some six degrees South of the Union Pacific, is, in point of national convenience, mnch more eligible than any other, offering not only better ad? vantages in the matter of climate, but also for commanding trade of tho inte? rior. The charter has already been se? cured, and as soon as a aertain sum is assured work will commence. THE FRENCH LOAN A GRAND SUCCESS. A Paris despatch says the totul subscrip? tions to tho new French loan amount to four milliards of francs, while but three milliards were called for. Of this amount 500,000,000 francs have been subscribed by German capitalists in the city of Ber? lin. Another despatch says the new loan is an extraordinary success. Six or seven times the amount ottered by the Government has been covered. Sob-: uoriptions have been received from Ger? many alone for the entire sum. The autumn manouvres in England will take place on Salisbury Plain. About 12,000 men will take part on eaoh side. The two armies will march from different points, in fighting order, to the plain. A series of "battles" will be fought on the way thither. The volun? teers and militia will accompany the regulars. A severo hail-storm passed through t^at portion of Spartauborg County cornering on Greenville and Laurens, on last' Sunday evening. Some of the stouea were aa large as guinea eggs, and the damage done to some plantations Was immense. A very heavy and wash? ing rain fell in the North-western portion of L?ureos County on tho samo evening. The President's friends in Louisville grew pensive over the news from'North Carolina. A prominent boo of them was so discouraged that he deolared "tho dime niggers of North Carolina were too well fed;" that "it took more money to buy them now than it did before the wari" Capt. Daniel Zeiglor, an aged and re? spected citizen of Orangoburg County, died on tue 29th of July, at tho ad? vanced age of seventy-eight years. He was a soldier in tho war of 1812, and was a faithful and devoted son to bis State. PLAIN WORDS or ADMONITION.-The! New York Herald, which has, so far, io its political expressions, indicated a leaning towards Grant without being au friendly to Greeley, takes occasion to give some very plain words of 'admoni? tion to the former. In the coarse of its artiole, the Herald says: .,' "Bot in the States Sooth of the Poto? mac, ander the baneful influence of the corrupt coterie which lives on the un? clean drippings of political pow?r, Presi? dent Grant is allowing bis Cabinet and office-holders'to combine thoBolid voting negro power with the persuasiveness of Federal bayonets to secure his re elec? tion. ThuB would he and the party into whose hands he has surrendered himself, place the white population'Of the late' Confederate States under the Ignorant sway of their late slaves? For many years, the Republican party labored to effect emancipation. Now, when the lash and the manacle have lost their nee,1 that eame party Beeks to place a chival? rous and cultivated race of white Ameri? cans under the unbridled mle of tho' blacks and mongrels who until lately wore servile chains, and a set of thieving carpet-baggers who pander to them. Was there ever a more monstrous proposi? tion? Such a position is utterly un? worthy the Chief Magistrate of this great nation. "Unfortunately for him and the coun? try, hiB natural modesty has allowed him to let the praotioal control of the Admi? nistration drift into the hands, of the party hacks whoso only reliance for that power which they Beek with greedy avidity is in the impure channels of party manipulation. They have run the governmental craft into dangerous whirl? pools and among threatening rocks. On all sides, from their meddling, dishonest mismanagement, stand imminent perils to the 8hip of State. Our foreign rela? tions are 1 no way satisfactory; our finances, with a large debt and onerous taxation, are,npt altogether re assuring, and at home we see States under the rule of bayonets."' ' FRENCH LEG IB LAT? VB DIGNITY.-The I Frenoh Assembly, occasionally exhibits scenes of excitement and uproar which, to those accustomed to the generally grave and decorous proceedings of legis? lative bodies in England and America, aro surprising and ludicrous At a late sitting, M.Thiers, the President of the republic, set a perfect hurricane in mo? tion by exclaiming, "In a country where revolutions have left behind them not only more princes than can be put on the throne, and more office-holders than Go vernment can turn to account." One [ after another of the monarchical party denounced Thiers furiously for such irre? verence to princes. Still .more furious was the scone when M. Thiers said, 'You have given us a form of govern? ment called the republic." The left cried out, "Ayel aye!',' the right, "No! not" and denying tnat there was any de? finite form of government. The excite? ment is said to have become frantic, nearly every member of the two sections being on his feet, gesticulating fiercely and screaming at the top of hiB voice, all at tho same time. One gentleman, a viscount, is described as "gesticulating like a supple-jack, whose strings are tossed by violent, contrary and fitful winds." Perhaps nothing will convey to an Amerioan reader as forcible au idea of the extravagance of the exhibition as the statement that when M. Thiers said, "I do not wish to encroach on your politi? cal faith," one of the sergeants-at-arms interrupted the President of the repub? lic, "Don't say our .political faith, say ourrights." When reproved by the pre? siding officer, who asked bim if he really pretended to dictate sentences ' to the speaker, the doughty sergeant replied, 'I do pretend to prevent my rights and the rights of the Assembly from being confiscated." Who can imagine such a | j scene in an English or American Legis? lature? INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDERS.-Or? ders have been received from the Post? master-General directing that the inter? national money order system, as deter? mined on at a recent convention, of the postal authorities of this country and England, is to go into effect, .at once. Money orders not exceeding the amount of 350 on the Post Office Department in England, payable at any post office in the United Kingdom, can be obtained. Thc following are rates of commission to J bo paid in United States currency, charged for issuing international money orders, to bo transmitted by postmaster at New York to Great Britain: On orders not exceediag $10, 25 cents; over $10 and not exceeding $20, 50 cents; over 820 and not exceeding $30, 75 cents; over $30 and not exoeeding $10, $1; over $10 and not exceeding $50, $1.25. No fructions of cents to be introduced in an order. United States Treasury notes or national bank notes only received or paid. THE BALLOT IN ENGLAND.-Hereafter, voting by ballot will be the method of expressing the will of the people at elec? tions in Great Britain. On the 15th ult, tho ballot bill, whioh has so long been under consideration in the British Par? liament, was fully disposed of in the House of Lords, where it had met with persistent opposition, and it has since reoeived the royal assent. The bill passed is the bill of the Commons, with two amendments by the House of Lords. This is deemed an experimental measure; indeed, the operation of the law ceases in 18S0, unless a new bill replaces it then or earlier. But there is not the slightest probability that the ballot will ever be taken from the people after it has once been adopted, though it is likely that experience may lead to many improve? ments in tho details of the law providing for its uso.
