PtowImm Pmpi, •m! Ion Ovar PoRTSMocm, N. U. f August 4.— Portsmouth was carried away with eu- thusiasm over the demonstration in honor of Lieutenant Oreeiy and Ills men. It was a joint sfflsir between the naval and ciril authorities. The pro cession Was headed by the oi *•**•&#< <***»■ were (ba o"' '" A ““ tlc the city authorities, Socro- tarv Chandler, Gen.

The town is filled to its ut most capaeity with visitors, who came by rail and water long distances. The rescued men continue to improve daily. A meeting of •itisens at Music Hall this evening to extend the official wel come of Uie city of Portsmouth to I mh! the remainder of his crow, was largely attended and was characterized by unbounded cn thus!asm. In tbo auditorium there was a representation of Portsmouth’s foremost citizens. On the stage were the officers of the Atlantic squadron and Arctic relief fleet. In the front seats In the orchesira sat the crews of the Thetis, Bear and Alert. These sailors were enthusiastically ‘received by the andience when thev entered, as were their officers when they shortly afterward took their seats on the stage. Secretary Chandler, Gen. Hazen, Ad miral. Lace, Commodore Wells. Gen. B. F. Butler, Hon. 8. J. Randall, Con gressman Robinson, of New York. Gov. Hale, of New Hampshire, and Senator Hale, of Maine, also occupied scats on the stage. The meeting was called to order by U«Y- W. A. McGinley, who very briefly stated in eloquent terms the objects of the meeting. Rev. W. H. Alder then made a lit- tlhg prayer and was followed by May or Treat, of Portsmouth, who read an address in which be extended the hos pitalities of the city of Portsmouth to Groely and his little band. Secretary Chandler presided, and cave his an dlence a history of Greely’s expedition and of different attempts to relieve It. Secretary Chandler closed with high enloginm upon the offloers and men of the rescuing expediton, thank ing each of the three commanders per (tonally tor their gallantry and succet.

Mlller v pfRepublicans, Mor- of Rhode Jetoa, and, Butler, Demo- nator Butler Bays he will ably be selected as one of a com mittee of three to go to California to make an examination of the Haro Is land navy yard. Referring to politics the Senator said the Information received from Democratic managers all along the line was of the most encouraging and romising nature. The Republicans ave made a serious blunder by an- nizing the German element in the estr with the Prohibition idea. The Germans will have their beer at any S rice, and the party which attempts to cprtvo them of it must suffer the con- sequence. Tho young men of tho coun try arc rapidly becoming n powcrftd factor in National politics. In every section where young ffiCinrcTub* have been formed they have declared for Cleveland and Hendricks. The Senator is highly pleased with the amount of activity that has already been displayed in the Democratic ranks. If the enthnsiasm for Cleve land and Hendricks continues to in crease as it has since tbo Nominating -Convention the Democrats will be sure to elect their Presidential ticket. A gentleman from Buffalo, who is a personal acquaintance of Governor Cleveland, says that his letter of ac ceptance of the (Democratic Presiden tial nomination, which is now in course of preparation, will be. in the matter of alctlonTofle of the ablest papers that has ever been presented to the public. This gentleman says that the Governor has Men noted, since be was a -law clerk, for the clearness and force with which he statA his views and that his briefe were always models of pare English. The letter, it is said, will ve a clearer idea of the Democratic arty’s position on the tariff question as construed by Mr. Cleveland, than it a dullness which he only could break. Mr. Blaine will gradtially work him self upon the stump and into tho cam paign instead of standing aside in obedience to what Mr. Steve Elkins described as his "sense of delicacy,’.’ a remark which caused Mr. Elkins to be laughed at and Mr. Blaine to be ad monished against adopting any such nonsense for his rule of action. Mr. Blaine had concluded to make only an occasional appearance in speech-making. His friends who find a void in the canvass which only lie can fill will not exact much formal speech-making, but the frequent show ing of himself, hand-shakings, congrat ulations and a swinging around tho circle to make things in general lively. Mr. Greeley’s railroad excursions in 1872 on tin! trunk lines, making fre quent half-hour stops and occasional ill most, halts for hoaea to -addi Time and Inclination are equally want ing in which to dwell on work done or' hardships endured. 1 most, however,' state that never for a moment in our darkest or gloomiest hour did we doubt that the American people were plan ning for our rescue through their rep resentatives, all that Jay in. human power and skill.

Report ot tbo AfrtcultunU Deportment for tbo Month of July. Columbia, August 6.—The follow ing is tho report of the crops through out tho State for the month of July: COTTON. The reports of county correspondents to the State Department of Agricul ture. April 1, snow a decline in the conaition of cotton from the previous month. Daring the early part of July the rains were very heavy, and this, following the excessive wet weather of Jane, caused the plant to be very Gen- and succulent. After the first week in July the weather was hot, dry and snltry, and the sudden change canscd tbo plant to cast frnit and leaves, and sheading is reported very generally in all parts of the State. Great danger to the crop was apprehended until near tho close of the mouth, when seasona ble showers relieved the anxiety of the farmers to some extent. The plant was sustained mostly by surfhee roots, and in order to remove tho grass it was necessary to plough close to the plant, and in some cases tiie surface roots were destroyed. The growth of tho plant was consequently checked, and some damage nocesarrily done. Since it has been freed of grass and, has had tho benefit of the rains in the latter part of the mouth, it is said to. be taking on a better and more vigo rou» growth, with prospects for an average crop brightening. In the upper part of the State the plant is small, and in the middle and lower sections it is about an average size, bat, except ih a few localities, Tt is not fruiting as well us usual at this season. Three correspondents in tho lower part of the State mention the appearance of the caterpillar; but one of them, who has not seen the worm, doubts if it is the genuine cotton caterpillar. The dition is reported in Northern Car- «4 men, are recalled os a first-rate stylo of campaigning. It is remembered that Mr. Greeley never appeared to so much advantage as on his wonderfol run to and from Ohio, during which time be made not less than three score of speeches, which gave him an intel lectual rank he did not before have. Mr. Blaine is urged to undertake milar iourno/s. His friends believe that nothing better can be done to ad vance his cause and rescue the cam paign from the downward drifttowards which it is unmistakably tending. For the present Mr. Blaine will move abont in Maine, where the Sep tember election may yet prove a battle on the skirmish line. It will, unless Mr. Blaine’s opponents have given up their original intention. If tney have done so. that fact means more than permitting Mr. Blaine to have in his own State whatever majority he can get, be it five or ten thousand. The September election in Maine is so important to the Republicans that nothing will be omitted to make the result a good send-off for Blaine., Tho public is about to be regaled with publications concerning Mr. Blaine's private life as an offset to pub' lications relating to atleged moral delinquencies of Mr. Cleveland. A leading Democratic paper in a Western city is understood to have had writers engaged for a considerable time in Kentucky, where Mr. Blaine was teacher snortlv after he attained t majority; and if what is retailed in private becomes the woof and warp of the storv that is being woven for the [ (ublic the campaign will not be want- ng in interest thereafter. an nour could be gained or a mile made good. So marked were their dispatch and energy that bad they known onr exact condition and locality and tlms avoided thorough and sweeping search from Cape York and Carr’s Island to Life Boat Cove, they could have reached Camp deary in time to have saved another life. None but those of Arctic experience can folly realize the wonderfol work done by the squadron, and no one knows Dotter than I how inadequate is this tribute to the navy for Ha labors. Not less glorious in this work of peace than they have always been in the time of war. We thank yon for your kind deeds, tbonghtfol consideration and tender sympathy to and for ns all, liv ing and dead. Most sincerely and cor dially, "A. W. Ghxklt.

Henry. Gen. Hancock and staff, with the band and a military detachment of two hundred artillery, attended the religions ceremonies.

The caskets of the dead were then carried oat -and mounted on caissons, and the foneral procession proceeded to the Govern ment dock, the bend playing a dirge.

CORN. The July report showed blf damage to corn on river an bottoms, and it is confirmed by the later reports, in many-places the crops were destroyed by the floods too late to replant, and fields that on tho 1st of June- promised an abundant yield were abandoned. The seasons have been remarkably favorable for early upland corn, and it is estimated that it will give above an average yield. Late planted and that planted bn oats stubbie saffered severely from excessive rains during Jane and July and the drought that followed, and was reported below an average on the 1st of August. The general condition for the whole crop is reported: For Northern Carolina, 73; Middle Caro lina, 91; Lower Carolina, 98—an aver age for the State of 87 against 75 for. the same time last year. POTATOES. Both Irish and sweet potatoes are reported in fine condition and promise good average yields, and the present condition of sorghum and sugar cane indicates the usn&l yield. RICE. Rice is reported in Lower Carolina at 99, and upland rice in Upper and Middle Carolina at 95. Many of the correspondents report the cultivation of clover and timothy, bat it is cultivated almost entirely for pasturage or cot and fed gffign. A correspondent in Marlboro^ estimates that afioat thirty tons* have been cut iu his county, and’ another, in Fairfield, fifty tons, but both report that it was cat for green food. Other grasses, how ever, are becoming very popular for hav, and it is probable that large qoan titles of hay will be harvested. 9.—The State ex- Of Ike Republican and adopted reeola- Dowa Um Ciuulottk, N.

H* Cbnatder* Indiana Sain for tha Daaac racy-Ha has do Faith la Campaign Starts! -ButlarVCahdldacy. Washington, August 8.—Ex-Sena tor Joseph McDonald arrived here to day from Indiana en route to Deer Park. He says that the campaign in Indiana is just beginning to take form. Ths Democrats will undoubtedly carry the State, although both parties at pres ent claim it. The party linos will be drawn very closely throughout the State. The Democrats will vole solid ly for Cleveland and tho Republicans for Blaine. Very few votes will be cast outside of the two parties. The contest will be between Democfttt* and Republicans, of tbo former. When asked what effect the scandalous articles which are being published about Cleveland and Blaiue will have on the voters of the country, he replied that any man who has the standing to receive the Presidential nomination from his party cannot affected by campaign slanaer so long as lie remains outside of the penitentiary. Such stories,.said he, as are now being circulated about Mr. Cleveland do not change many votes, but they are a dis grace to our people. He says it is almost too early to predict wbat effect Ben Butler’s candidacy will have on the general result, but be feels confi- dent of Democratic success, notwith standing there may be fifty Butlers in the field. Some of the weak-kneed Democratic politicians at the Demo cratic headquarters in this city say that while Butler’s candidacy will hurt Cleveland iu New York materially it may also be the means fit Pennsylvania back into the Democratic ranks. They say that the Republicans depend upon the labor vote for their largo majorities in the State of Penn sylvania, aiul that Butler will take this from them. Upon this assumption they hold that if Cleveland be beaten in Now York he still may be elected.

Deer Park, Md., August 7.-7-An other conference was held here to-day between Stephen B. Elkins and several leading Republicans and Grecnbackers of West Virginia. The number present was not as large as at last week’s con ference, It being understood that only those who m e to have part iu the man agement of the canvass in West Vir ginia should attend. The closest se crecy was observed, none of the gen tlemen registering at the hotel, and all being entertained at Elkins’s cottage, and meetings wore held within its doors. Elkins and cx-Senator Davis returned last night from the miucs adjacent to tho West Virginia Central, which section Senator Don Cameron and several Pennsylvania Republicans recently reached via White Sulphur. Some of those in conference with Elkins here to-day arrived yesterday and awaited his coming. He assumed per sonal charge of the canvass of Max well, the Fusion candidate for Govern or. Funds.

It hard all that night, and the next morning, although the weather was fair, the wind blew snch a hurri cane that twenty feet from where they started! they were blown off tbeir wheels. A second attempt met with no better snceess, as the wheelmen wisely concluded to defer another trial to the next day.- It rained steadily daring tbe afternoon and night, but cleared away the next morning. Abont 3 o’clock they jumped on their wheels, and encouaged bv assurances from tbe people who wftnessed their start that thev wonld reach the bottom alive, startea op tbeir perilous ride. The roads, from the previous heavy rains, were verv soft and wet. Less than a hundred yards from tbe start they struck an nnnsnally soft place, resulting in a grand header for all three. They soon, however, regained their saddles by taking the "pedal mount.” Tbe pedal mount, and at the same time throwing one leg over the handle bars, is tbe only safe way to mount a machine on a steep down grade. They quietly got both legs over the handle ban, and, leaning far back, "let her go.” The double brake levers were fonnd to be of great ser vice in resting tbe bands, for, being applied together but little power was required to keep the brake pressed close to the tire. For the first mile they kept well to gether, but than Beckers began to gain on the others, aad in another mifo waa entirely lost sight of.

Washington, August 7.--The in truders in tbe Indian Territory arc said the. War Department to be iu those mrtions of tbe Territory known as the Jklahoma land, Bbcrokee' strip and ’anbandle. Several companies of troops are expected to.enter the Terri tory to-day or to-morrow. All person^ found in tbe above portions of the Territory, estimated at about "2,OOi), will be removed.

All the improvements are to be destroyed, houses, out-huild- ngs and fences to be razed to tbo froand, cattle, horses and farming im- dements arc to be turned over to the nterior department, au£ to be dispos ed of as that department may decide. It is asserted that some of the settlers are bona fide. The authorities assert differently and say that no one is en titled to settle in either of the three disputed tracts of land. A number of men are renorted to have lived in the Oklahoma land and Panhandle tor several years and to have made exten sive improvements.* Tbe order to remove applies to them well as those who -hare recentty settled there in bodies.

It was afterwards found out, however, that Beckers’ bag had become open without his knowledge, ami finally dropped down into bicyole wheel, but with no more serious result than a header for the rider. After leaving tbe half-.way house the rest of the distance was accomplished with ease, as compared with the road they had to ride over for the firatfive or six miles. In many of the steepest places the road was very narrow, not more than eight feet in width with a yawning chasm or ravine on one side tha pleasure of tbe ride.
