The guarg was reinforced with the Second Reina battalion and a fying column, and the convoy reached its destination in safety. The Gaceta says the forces then separate?, when the enemy attacked the fying column, Aisperring it and killing its captain.

SEVENTY-SEVEN COUNTIES HEARD FROM, Merrimon Probably Elected by a Small Majority. CALDWELL’S FRIENDS STILL HOPEFUL. The Official Figures Not To Be Obtained. Raveran, N, 0., August 4, 1872, There has been but little news received here to- day, and that does not change the estimates or predictions made in my despatches last night. Tho situation remains the game. Republicans obstt- nately continue to hope against what apnears in- evitable—the election of Merrimen. They are candid enough, however, to concede the election of five conservative Congressmen, whose majorities, though they run behind the State ticket, would elect it by aamall majority, basing an estimate on the vote of 1870, OONSERVATIVE GATNS ON THA 71 BASTS, Ifthe vote of last year, by which the cali for a convention was defeated, was taken as 9 test of party strength, the conservatives have gained over eleven thousand votes, according to the returns now athand. This {s not a fair basis, however, of party strength, and, consequently, the vote of 1870 is the one upon which all caloula- tions are made to ascertain how tho State ia going; and it has proved correct in every instance. The conservatives will carry the Legis- lature by probably forty majority on a joint ballot, which defeats the election of John Pool a8 United States Senator, and indicates in an unmistakable manner the election of Zebulon B, Vance as his successor. It has been ascertained by close calou- lation and on information received here that 9 suMictency of negroes in the State voted for Mer- rimon to insure his election by a majority of over ten thousand, and the significance of this fact shows that they may never vote as a unit again unless their organizations are kept up with more strict and thorough disctpline than heretofore, PROBABLE EARLY SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. ‘The news to-morrow evening from the west will decide beyond question the general result in the State, and probably the actual majority by which Merrimon has carried the State. The people here are still intensely excited, and await impatiently the result. No rejoicing or public demonstration has yet taken Place, owing to the great doubt which has existed about the election. Estimates made to-night upon sixty-six counties heard from show that the net gain of Caldwell (republican), is only 1,924, an ay- erage of about twenty-nine votes to the county. ‘This leaves 3,071 of the democratic majority of 1870 Btill to be overcome in the remaining twenty-six counties—an average of 118 votes to the county, which is regarded as impossible, as most of the counties to be heard from are strongly conserva- tive. MERRIMON'S ELECTION CONSIDERED CERTAIN, = - Eleven more counties have been heard from to- night, making seventy-seven in all, and the indica- tions as to the general result remain the same. Merrimon’s election is almost certain, and is con- ceded by some republicans of the more moderate stripe. I could send the vote of counties with thelr reported majorities, but as most of them ate in, correct and the reports received‘are so conflicting they would only tend to confuse rather than enlighten. Merrimon's majority is now over 1,100, and this must be largely increased in the sixteen counties to be heard from. Hopes and Fears in Washington. WASHINGTON, August 4, 1872. In administration circles there is still hope that North Carolina has gone republican. Private des- patches received by members of the Cabinet to-day indicate a very close vote, and if there have been informalities, as expected, an inspection of the official returns will prove it. There is considered a favorable prospect for the election of Caldwell. GOSSIP AT THE POLITICAL HEADQUARTERS Uncertainty Still Prevails About North Caro- lina—What the Knowing Ones Say—Prospects in Vermont, Maine, Indiana and the West, Still no decisive or reliable news from North Carolina. “The republicans have carried the State,”’ “The democrats have carried the State,” “No, the Tesult is still a mystery,” are among the scraps of conversation that fall upon the ear in all parts of the city. At the various political headquarters and In every political circle in the city the chunces of both sides were yesterday eagerly canvassed, but the confidence which a sense of victory gives was entirely with the Greeley men. The returns published from the Old North State, in the morning papers, were anxiously perused, and while nothing positive could be gathered from them, enough was shown to prove that the chances of @ republican triumph were becoming more and more remote. AT THE GRANT HEADQUARTERS, which were kept open yesterday, the oMclals in charge were on the qui vive for news, but none was received, and the opinion seemed to be that under the circumstances no news was bad news, and an exceedingly gloomy Sunday morning was passed in the radical domicile in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, which the pattering rain falling outside did not tend to enliven. Late on Saturday night despatches were received from Boston and Wash, ington sources which asserted that North Carolina had gone largely republican, but no confidence was reposed in them even by the most hopeful, and they failed to appear in the administration papers and are now reposing in the recesses of the waste basket. Groups of anxious politicians hovered | about the parlors, expecting that even at this ad- vanced period the complexion of the ad- vices may be changed. Resignation is, how- ever, taking the place of hope, and a disposition 19 being shown to accept the issue and make as light of the defeat as possi- ble. Even from such a crushing calamity a spark | of comfort is to be found, and it Is asserted by the | Grant men that the overthrow of their party is a blessing in disguise, as it will arouse such an en- | thusiasm for the republican ranks as the country has never before seen, and will nerve the true men of the country to increased action, and stir them from their apathy which has lost North Carolina, The same thing, however, works both ways. The Greeley men think the enthusiasm will all be awakened on their side, as @ victory is much more conducive to exuberance of feeling than a de- feat, a view to which most sensible people will ad- here. The long-headed men who preside at the Fifth Avenue Hote! are very chary about affording information, and the absence of Colonel Chandler is greatly missed by those who are accustomed to his courtesy and politenesa since the opening of the headquarters. The general opinion of the viaitors who called during the day was that the State had been lost by mismanagement, and the manner in which the seoueen has becn con- ducted was severely criticised, THE GREELEY HEADQUARTERS, Those in charge of the Greeley headquarters were forced to make a virtue of necessity and keep their rooms open on Sunday. Colonels John- gon and Lindsay were in attenance to receive the numerous callers and to answer the inquiries which were being constantly made by letter and telegram. Messages kept pouring in from every rt of the country, and the anxiety about Phe result of the North Carolina election seemed to be something altogether unprecedented, the Greeley men evidently thinking that great interests hinged upon the action of the Old North State, From regions as remote as Arizona and Nebraska, telegrams were received and.to all of them an- aware of a highly encouraging mature were sent. 4 Numbers of messages came op Saturday night from places where ratification meetings | ere ter prow. ress, aski that some - tory ile fo sent, which cou! mnounced to the and convey an Of the tenor of the answer sent those inquiries ;— Maine, August 3, 1878. hore that Berth Carolina ts ubllee to-night let us know the facts New ‘Augiut 3:90 LL, Mo. nos . 0.

Sty le rene Brigham Young “Peeling” for the Administra- tion—Gentiles Striking Back with Effect. Sat LAKE, August 4, 1872, The disgraceful, outrage of the Mormons last night in breaking up the Gentile mass meeting in Main street is the’ cause of much angry discussion. The latter went to the Liberal Institute and reorgan- ized a meeting again. The Mormons attempted to interrupt speakers and were thrown out of the hall with force. The “Mormon police were admitted only. They promised to enforce order, Pistols were drawn and serious collisions occurred, but finally the disturbers were ejected or awed into silence. General Maxwell, Rev. Mr. McLeod, R. N. Basken, P. H. Robvertson and other democrats and’ republicans made scathing speeches, denousicing the outrage as abridg- ing the right of free speech. Stones were hurled into the room and glass smashed. The Gentiles organized and armed themselves as spe- cial police, and cleared the adjacent ground of the mob. It is ascertained that the whole affair was organized by the Brigham Young School of the Prophets, adjourned by his order to break up the meeting. All the special police were on hand, and to some purpose. The outrage is the topic of conversation to-day, The Gentiles are deeply «tasperated, and forcible resistance to the Mormon policy is advocated. The election willbe bitter and dangerous to-morrow. The Gentiles are determined to have their rights at every hazard. The Mormon papers tacitly justify the proceedings last night. CALIFORNIA POLITICS. SAN Francrsco, August 4, 1872.

ATTEMPTED STREET. A Jealous Lover Entices His Sweetheart Into the Yard and Shoots Her Because She Refuses to Marry Him. At half-past eight o’clock last night Frederick | Tilitzke, of 548 West Twenty-ninth street, called upon a young lady whom he had been visiting some time, named Mary Spoeser, of 5446 West Twenty- ninth street. After remaining in conversation with her for some time inthe house he invited her to walk with him in the yard, She consented and proceeded with him to a sum. mer house in the rear of the yard, After @ short time he asked her to marry him, and received a negative reply. This so exasperated bim that he drew a revolver from his pocket, and, pointing it at her, fired, the ball entering her left side just above the hip. As the ball penetrated her body she gave a loud shriek and fell to the ground in an insensible con- dition, where she remained until some members of the family assisted her to the house Tilitzke, surmieing that he had killed her, scaled f board fence, alighting on the pavement in Twenty- ninth street, le made desperate strides through the latter street unfil he reached the dock, when he jumped overboard, He was pursued by Omicers Smith and Carroll of the Twenty-ninth precinct, ‘who rescued him and took him to thejstation houi A Mt gp being valled, examined the gir! wound. and pronounced {t not necessarily fatal.

Brisror, R. 1, August 4, 1672, Horace Grecley's trip to Fatl River on Saturday night, on the steamer Providence, was marked by no incident of particular imterest. Of course little groups of passengers crowded about him to catch any stray sprigs of wisdom that his venerable lead might force forth, and of course the patriotic brass band sighified a kindly attachment for the old gentleman by playlag atra in tw honor, but beyond these there was positively no demonstration such a8 seems inseparable from his public appearance tm New York,” He was accompanied by Henrl L. Stew- art and Mr, Wardwell—Whitelaw Reid going with him as far as Newport. The gag? and his young lieutenant were tn close conference during the evening. On arriving at Fall Rivér at about day- break the philosopher awaited, in Lis stateroom, the private carnage of Mr. Augustus “Miller, which was to take him to Bristol. CATCHING THEM SLEEPING. Fall River was hardly awake, and knew nothing of his coming, but whem it became noised Abroad, crowds sauntered toward the river to catth s glimpse of him, At eight o'clock, the carriage—an open one—arrived, and the philosopher, wearing his historical white hat and overcoat, took a seat end of Lake Ontario, to Hammonds county. About twenty-five miles further downward, where the St. Lawrence contracts into one deep, roiling, rushing volume, some of the islands are eight or nine miles long, and are fertile and well cultivated, having romantic looking farm houses and dairies. Others look like huge mounts springing out of the water, their steep and rocky sides presenting natural walls all round, but are thickly studded with lux- urious trees and covered with verdure. The ma- jority of the islands, however, are like this one of Mr. Pullman’s, about one hundred acres in extent, with at least one corner suficiently close to the water's eage to form aboat landing, the remainder affording every advantage for the erection and improvement of the most delightful of all sammer residences imaginable. PULLMAN’S ISLAND, as it is now known, stands right opposite this little village, whence it had to be reached by a little row boat in about fifteen minutes. The house and grounda of the wealthy inventor can hardly be said to be finished yet, but they are sufficiently advanced already to be habitable and enjoyable. Indeed, it is no uncommon thing for other gentlemer who own islands here, not yet occupied by residences, to come along with tents and movable furniture and go into camp ET summer, I saw several such encampments while SAILING AMONG THD ISLANDS this morning, and I do not wonder that the induce- ments to dwell here for the season were too strong to let the sojourners wait for the erection of suit- able dwellings. ‘The weather 1s deliciously cool, as | it has been all through the summer, The bathing, although in fresh water, is all that could be desired, but the great inducement of all is the incomparable fishing. One can catch as much bass and pickerel month and that of the finest quality, This village of Alexandria is an old fashioned place, but I pre- dot that before five years it will be the most atirac- lve aud best frequented resort in the Northern States. It ts already well agit ag by a number of first class people, who like it so well that they seem to be jealous of having its existence made known to outside barbarians. Its only hotel—the Crossman House—is always full, not only in sum- mer, but in the fall, when THE FINEST DUCK SHOOTING OF THE CONTINENT is to be had here, The place is so crowded now that more than half of its guests have been billeted among the cottages in the neighborhood. This state of things, however, will not continue beyond this year, for sharp-eyed speculators have already been here and seen their advantage. The ground biden ral out yesterday here in the village for two commodions hotels, and one ot the islands close by a huge caravansary is already in courae of erection, so that in another season or two the name of this heretofore unheard of ee May become as familiar to our people as Long Branch, Newport or Saratoga. f course the visit of the Presi- dent has helped to add to the crowd of ita ordinary Koeppen just now. They are rushing by rail, wagon and boat from all directions. Yesterday morning a few of the Crossman House boarders went over to Pullman's Island to see General Grant, who kindly gratified their curiosity. Shortly afterward another batch appeared, when the President, remembering Utica and Watertown, got scared, and Mr. Pullman sent over & message to say that General Grant was really fatigued that day, and begged that no more visitors would call upon I ali them at the same time that he would ho! A SPRCIAL RECEPTION ON THE ISLAND on Monday morning, from eleven to one o'clock, when he would be giad to see them all and shake their hands, It was soon found, however, that this had not the desired effect, and then General Grant resorted to his old game and flanked them, He got into a boat with General Phil Sheridan, who came here with a party of Mr. Puli- man’s friends from Chicago, a few days ahead of the President, and both went off fishing.

To-day the Presidential party enjoyed » SOMETHING FRESH IN THE RELIGIOUS WAY. His host had fitted up an_ indescribable sort of an uncovered tabernacle in the | woods in reach of his house, so that the | President and his family might not go without their usual weekly allowance of Gospel pabulum. It was announced to the villagers yesterday afternoon that such of them as wished to attend church service with President Grant on the island to-day at two o'clock might do 60, and that Mr. Pullman's yacht would be at the dock to take them over. The yacht was there, sure enough, at | the hour named, but it was found ft could mo. con- | tain one-tenth of the crowd that had gathered on the dock, so the steamer Lawrence George was chartered, and she ferried ali the worshippers over in two trips. THE SCENE AND THR OCCASION made the simple and beautiful services in. the wood as impiessive as they were novel. At one end of a pine platform stood an evidently honest and earnest clergyman preaching the Word of the peaceful Christ. Over his head was a simple but elegant canopy, handsomely improvised out or a number of national fags, No roof bat the es ing branches of the trees and peeping patches of blue sky covered the worshippers who occupied the simple platform and the rising knolis and | surroandiny rocks, and who were all | voud and happy citizens of the United tates, the majority. of whom had just gathered there together from almost every corner Of the country. And there among them, the plain- est and simplest-looking individual of them ail, with head bowed as low and eye drooping as meekly a4 any, and with no more pretence to superiority than the poorest of his fellow citizens beside hi knelt the chosen Governor of forty millions freemen—the Chief Magistrate of the greatest nation in the world. It was a sight which those who witnessed it will never forget, and which I am sure those who were not present would like to see. I think Iam safe in calling it THE MOST REMARKABLE CAMP MEETING ever heid in this country. The preacher on the occasion was the Rev, Dr. Street, of the Ninth Presbyterian church, formerly known as Dr. Hat- fleid’s church, New York, He took for his text the thirteenth chapter of St. Joh arid the seventh verse, and preached up eloquent sermon of an hour's duration on the wisdom and necessity of always placing our full confidence in God, who, however appearances may decetve our poor short- sightedness, always does all things for the best. hen the services were over the audience promptly and with very good gh gh a he’ places es and returned to the pI enjoy thelr wing the President and his party to Sapbath pnvecy ‘anmolested, ‘The; wit claim, however, the promised receptiqn to-morrow, & eleven o'¢logk abare. here in a day as would feed an o7vdinary family for a | available boat on the blue river and in the place | | Woodchopper,_ of Chappaqua, witn his friends and was driven rapidly through the town. The route to Bristol lay over Slade's Ferry, an ancient specimen of steam navigation across Taunton River there, THE WOODCHOPPER AMID IIS ELEMENT. After hailing the boat for ten minutes, the phite sophical cortége found transport through a rolling country dotted with pleasant villas and one or two model New England villages, passed across railroad tracks, between solid stone fences that excited the highest admiration of the philosopher, who is the inventor of a model stone fence of his own, an’ between straggling files of coatioas farmer boys sitting on the fences, and ruddy country lassies leaning on the bars, who gazed in mute ad- miration at the well known head and hat. The sage talked but little about politics; the growing corn, the Insty vegetables, the waving flelds, and above all the square laid stone fences were sub- jects more pleasant for him. Once in reply to a question regarding the North Carolina election he said :—"It 00d Hes sb but I think General Banks’ letter is better. wonder if those stone fences have a bank of earth for a foundation under them as my Chappaqua fence has.” The town of Bristol is usnally a quiet little place, and on thia breezy Sabbath morning it. seemed more sedate and decorous than ever. A damp mist had settled over the town in the eget and still hung about it when at ten o'clock the carriages with Mr. Greeley and his party drove ata slashing gait through the main street to the residence of Mr. Augustus Miller. ‘A SABBATH MORNING'S SURPRISE. The slow citizens of the town had not got it clearly through their heads that he was due om Sunday; they knew he was coming, but thought it was to on Monday; but nevertheless a rumor had passed through the town during the day that he was coming, and numbers of people thro the streets and raised their hats as he drove Ma while dames and damscis, wending their way Sunday school, cast their happiest smiles upon the kindly face in the old white hat. “He looks older than he did twenty years ago,’ said one rustic; ‘but he still looks well.” “T got out of conceit with him,” said a handsome old lady as he passed, “for his taking up with so many ‘ism$;’ but, deary me, he looks real well." Mr, Augyatus Miller is a retired merchant of wealth, living in handsome style tn a cottage here, and to his house the distinguished party procecded. and took breakfast. GODLINESS ABOVE ALL THINGS. Afterwards they went to the High-strest Baptist church, happening in very unexpectedly upon & large and fashionable audience, who were decorous cree to accept the visit without any noisy or un- usual demonstration. The preacher, v. De Howard M, Jones, preached on this occasion from the text, St. Luke xii, 57, and in touching upow conscience as developed by the various occupations of men said, the conscience of politicians cannot fail to become tgo much benumbed. They say we are right or wrong ; having unil with a party, ey uphold it to the utmost and implicitly Cat the behests of their leaders, some of whom, while pretending to be incorruptible, really have no conactence at all.’ On returning to Mr. Miller’s house ex-Governor William Sprague, of Rhode Island, was found awaiting them. He had come over from his residence at Kingston, near Narragansett Pier, twenty-five miles distant, In his steam yacht, to conduct the Philosopher to his home, where Chief Justice Chase meets him this evening. MEETING WITH CHIEP JUSTIOR CHASE. After a strictly private dinner, the party, consist- ing of Mr. Greeley, ex-Governor Roragae and Mr. Miller, sailed away at noon. They will return to- morrow, when the forma! honors of a hundred gum salute, flag raising, municipal reception and private demonstration of citizens will be tendered the He will attend clam bake on Tuesday, and his future movements include a visit to friends in Vermont and over to his old homestead in New Hampshire, which wil occupy him probably over two weeks.
