The political tournament at Selem, Fauquier ‘county, Va., on Saturday last, between General Eppa Hunton and Colonel John 8. Mosby, as already stated in these despatches, promised at one time to result in an affair of honor between Dr. J. B. Withers, of Warrenton, and the guerilla convert. Just how this was to be accomplished was a Mystery, but that serious work was at one time contemplated is not denied. Itis stated that ever since Mosby resolved to support Grant as the lesser of two evils he has been overbearing and Gisposed to question the sanity of those who favored the election of Greeley. Dr. Withers, who ‘thas beeh Mayor of Warrenton, and who enjoys the esteem of a large circle of friends, was one of the first to avow himself in favor of Greeley’s election, « On Saturday Jast it is reported that a gentleman ‘Bt the Warrenton Hotel playfully remarked that the nservative party would not send ifs trained eakers to Salem to answer Colonel Mosby, but ould send a novice in such matters, leet | to ir. Withers. This remark was communicated to “Colonel Mosby, and, construing it into contem- pene affront, he in ‘his heat made it known that @ Would denounce Withers end those who sent him he put in an appearance.

Both patties were arrested and Ee 4 over to keep the peace, until the personal lends of both had an opportunity of pro! tat the rigin of the Tee te ane ne. It was belleved ciate affair would be settled, Colonel Mosby once {nyited the Sherif of Fauquier to settle a slight misunderstanding with pistols and friends. Yester- flay morning Mosby left for Jordan Springs to fuifll ‘a business engagement and Dr. Withers remains at ‘arrenton. To-day a vmor prevailed in this city to the effect that the parties had met and Mosby had been killed. This mournful intelligence was communi- ated to Mosby's friends at Warrenton, who has- tened to inform the world that !t was not 80. By Way of atoning for his political errors Mosby says he will stump it for Grant until the Louisville Con- rention nominates a atraight-ont democratic ‘ket.

The Official Vote of Eighty- two Counties. RALElau, N. O., August 6, 1872, ‘The agony of suspense is not yet over, Doubt darkens every countenance and the pain of sua- pense, metaphorically speaxing, looks out of every eye, Public interest has become fatigued and aix days of watching and watting have wearied tho Politicians as well ag the people, Just think of it! Six days gone and the result in North Carolina still unknown. Speculation blunders in hopeless confusion and sleep finds the weary watcher tn that State of perplexity that he dreams of fabulous ean and heavy losses tn the same connec- lon, THERE [3 NOTHING CERTAIN but that it requires the oMctal count to determine the result, and nothing but the officially ascertained vote can extricate the returns from the utter con- fusion in which exaggerated reports and lying despatches have involved them, All the clphering thus far has been done on a hypothetical basis, Qnd no two chalk the same result, Tho fact is, they have “been making re- turns too much to order, and the political complexion of the party figuring has had much to do with the figures set down. For example, the Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee figures out a handsome majority for Caldwell of from fifteen hundred to three thousand, allow- ing for probable democratic gains and repub- Ucan losses In the counties not yet heard from, and {n no event, he declares, can the majority for Oald- well fall below 1,500, let those absent counties go as they may, DEMOCRATIO MAJORITIES CLAIMED, On the other hand, the democrats continue to make Merrimon majorities, and so contradiction keeps confusion worse confounded. I begin to send you the oficial votes by counties ag they come in. So far I have received thirty counties, which I send tn these despatches. Although thirty counties have been heard from oMcially, all but the following have been heard from through one channel and another:—Olay, Alleghany, Asho, Wa- tanga, Macon, Cherokee, Jackson, Transylvania— eight counties, which 1n 1870 gave Shipp, demo- cratio Attorney General, a majority of 1,320. Polk, a strong republican county of the West, this year comes up with a democratic gain of 129, and Hyde, in the east, separated from civilization by the classic Waters of the Tar and Pamlico Rivers and their tributaries, has just been heard from, and brings a democratic gain of fifty-five over the Shipp majority of 1870. CONSERVATIVES COUNTING CALDWELL IN, According to the counting at democratic head- quarters Caldwell is now ahead 559 votes, with the eight above-named counties to hear from, which, if they give Merrimon Shipp’s majority of 1870, will elect Merrimon by 761 majority; but this result ts figured on wild and totally unreliable speculation born of reports commendable only in that thoy “strive to please," but not founded on fact, like Ned Buntline's “Blood for Blood; or, “the In- fatuated Dog."” NO TRANSMOUNTAIN INTELLIGENCE, The train from the west having failed of nows yesterday, everyoody stood on the tiptoe of expec- tation to-day, but nothing came. That inaccessible nest of counties known as Transmountain, North Carolina, are as silent and indifferent to the taiver- sal anxicty and interest here as that cool people are innocent of the national, if not universal, politt- cal Importance with which the times have sud- denly invested them. Finding that the trains and telegraph from the west brought nothing I tele- graphed all the nearest and most accessibie POINTS IN EAST TENNESSEE, in the hope that some intelligence had escaped across the border, but these points responded to me with the unwelcome intelligence that they had nothing whatever. Iam quite sure that an elec- tion was held in tho transmountain counties, as all the returned summer tourists from that alti- tude of civilization agree In their accounts that the country is inhabited; and as the tendency of the average American is to vote, they must have had an election, but when and wherefore is past finding out, even by HERALD enterprise, and soTleave it to time and chance to determine, I rely with a faint hope on the train from the moun- tains to-morrow, but if nothing comes I shall insist that you send me the Livingstone discoverer, and let his instructions be “On, Stanley; on!” As the result has suspended betting has gone on, and I hear of considerable sums taken at a distance by republicans of this city by telegraph. NUMEROUS DEMOCRATIC BONFIRES, in solemn and melancholy readiness, await the torch at a hundred pointa in this State and Vir- ginla, but not one has been lighted. The historic democratic rooster was numerously displayed in the pages of a Wilmington daily a few mornings since, but he has ceased to crow, and the radicel organ here has sent to have the feathered lordling fetched up for thelr benefit against the announcement of the result, which they now confidently assume must be tn their favor. I cannot hazard the prediction, but the appearances to-night are more favorable to Caldwell's election, while democrats concede it, and are blue accord- ingly.

Why Caldwell Claims the State=The Result of Kighty-two Countics—Merri- mon’s Chances Narrowed Down Con- night, show democratic \sses of 8,653 and demo- cratic gains of 3,134; so ‘hat Caldwell's gain on Merrimon, by the Shipp vote, & 5,519, or 624 gained to the republicans over the emocratic majority in 1870 of 4,905. In six counties in the eighty, or mountain district, \weard from, Merrimon makes a et gain of more than a hundred to the county. Other statenients, made by actual majorities obtained by each camdi- date, places Merrimon’s majoriites thus far over thé Shipp vote of 1870, of 12,769, and Yor Caldwell a ma- Jority of 14,809, or 2,040 im Caldwell’s favor. This shows a largely increased vote over ghat of 1870, The counties to hear from in 1870 gave a demo, cratic majority of 1,675, and in 1871, in favor of the Convention, they gave a majority of 1,745. By this showing, if these remaining counties vote pre- Clsely as they did in 1870, Caldwell will have @ Majority of 305; it they maintain their democratic majority of 1871, Caldwell will have @ majority of 205. It is announced from democratic quarters that Mortimon wil contest the election of Caldwell in case: his ma- jority should be onty a few hundred, white \the Te- Publicans, tn the event of defeat, intimate no such threat. But in the Fifth Congressionat disv:rict Judge Settle, who was only defeated by 231, the re- Publicans count nearly three hundred legal voters who were not allowed to register by reason wf being employed in constructing a new line of raft- tion of Leach will unquestionably be contested, It will be seen that if the above estimates are cor-\| rect, unless Merrimon maintains his gains in the remaining counties of the EKighth district, his elec: tion isin great doubt, but should he continue bis gain in that quarter of a hundred to the county he 1a elected by some five hundred, But I attach little * importance to these estimates, only as they indicate how the current is setting in. So far as showing actual results they are not to be relied on, The News in Washington. WASHINGTON, August 6, 1872.

It is the seventh year of its most prosperous career, and in that time it has made it- self the first trotting point of the country—indeed, its very centre. The auspicious opening of this year gives promise of new laurels and higher fame.

PrRoviDENOE, R. I., August 6, 1872, ; Rhode Island was in her glory to-day. A clam- Wake at any timo 1s one of the institutions upon which the little State prides herself; but to have one with ten thousand people and national flags and one of the Spraguo family and American bras band and Horace Grecley present was too much aimost for the complacency of this stout little Commonweaith. Such she had to-day at Sil- ver Springs, a beautiful grove four miles down the bay, in @ spot marked out by nature as one of the most beautiful of all the beautiful spots of Rhode Island, with its blutt-like rocks, wooded peninsulas, romantic inlets and elegant seashore houses. Tho bay on this occasion was dotted with exeursionists, sloops, schooners and steamers running from the city to the Springs and back. The steamers What Cheer, Bay Queen and Ida and dozens of tags made every trip in the morning crowded to the bulwarks with humanity IN SEARCM OF GREELEY AND CLAM3, By noon the grounds were thronged with from eight to ten thousand people—women, boys and girls, factory hands, daily laborers, rich lawyers, Wealthy farmers, and all kinds and classes of peo- ple from all parts of the country round. Bristol sent a heavy delegation; Warren put forth Its best citizens; Newport and Kingstown sent their repre- sentatives, and Providence almost depopulated itself, Everything was Greeley on the grounds, although the famous Philosopher had not yet ar- rived. Greeley prize packages were hawked about by little boys, HORACE FOR FIFTY CENTS Greeley white hat badges were sold at an enor- mous rate by an enterprising campaign speculator, and a picture dealer, who had little cartes-de-visite of the Sage, with his own autograph on them, felt it expedient to raise his price from twenty cents to half a dollar each before he had half disposed of his stock. The peoplo, while waiting for the coming guest, amused themselves as best they might. Merry go rounds were in operation, ice cream sa- loons and target shooting stalls were extensively patronized, and THE LAGER BERR SALOONS claimed a great portion of patronage from all hands; in fact, until the arrival of Mr. Greeley the appearance of the ground was similar to that of Jones’ Wood or the East River gardens at a German Schuetzenfest, except that in the very midst of the grounds three huge green wood fires glowed like smelting furnaces under a cover of seaweed and tarpaulins in the process of BAKING ABOUT TEN THOUSAND CLAMS, At about one o'clock the hero of the white hat, who had left Bristol in an open carriage accompa- nied by Captain Miller and Mr,. J. H. Wardwell, drove into the grounds, Their route from Bristol lay through the Iittle village of Warren, where an enthusiastic hurrah greeted him, although, as one of the citizens remarked :— “Most on our .people hev gone to the clambake, too." There had been a demonstration of citizens to- ward the hillside down which the carriage of the Philosopher was to come. At the first view of him hearty cheers went up from alllips. This brought the rest of the people out in a hurry from their lager and ice cream and their lolling in the grass, and at once an immense tide of people swept in to- ward the point on the hiilside where his carriage was expected. HORACE BLOCKED. This was at the private cottage of Mr. Maxwell the proprietor of the grounds, and here the crowé Was so dense the carriage could proceed no far. ther. The people crowded about the wheels and around the horses and shook hands violently with Mr. Greeley, cheering him and waving their hats and handkerchiefs without cessation, while the American brass hand of twenty-five pieces played “Hail to the Chtef."” It was found impossible for him to drive any farther, and he consequently de- barked from the carriage and proceeded to the upper rooms of Maxwell's cotrage, the crowd re ing after him with snch persistence that it was feared the Ne would break down, He advanced to the front piazza, seated himself in full view of the dense mass of people underneath, and com- menced an easy social CONVERSATION WITH TWO MANDSOME YOUNG LADIES who had been fortunate to retain their seats until he came. One of them, Miss Emma Magee, of Bos- ton, was cute enough to secure his autograph even in the few moments that the conversation lasted. The crowd paid no heed to the warnings expressed that the piazza might break down, and Mr. Greeley finally withdrew to the inner rooms in order to ersuade them away from so dangerous a locality. tt was no use, The crowd increased upon the balconies, and it is only due to Providence and the stout stanchions that there was no disaster. In the inner room Mr, Greeley was waited upon by those dignitaries who could et through the crowd, and a number of ladies who. insisted upon an introduction. Among the promi- nent gentlemen thus introduced were Amasa Sprague, Major William E. Hamlin, Colonel Thomas Davis, ex-Member of Congress and member of the Liberal Republican National Committee for the State; ex-Mayor Amos ©. Barstow, State Senator; William T, C, Wardwell, Colonel Nichols, of New Hampshire; General Flagg, of Rhode Island, and Hon. W. B, Beach, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee. THE. SPRAGUE GEMINI, Colonel Sprague, announced that his brother Wil- liam, the ex-Governor and his fellow partner in the roprietorship of the political tendencies of Rhode land, had departed for the White Mountains with Chief Justice Chase, whois still very ill, and that he could not therefore be present. Amasa has been a democrat all his Iife, and until recently has not been in thorough accord with his brother, but at present the firm of A. & W. Sprague, mill owners, run the State of Rhode Island, and, as many promi- nent Rhode Islanders unblushingly adrait, they post up the State on thelr ledgers as regularly as they choose to take stock, The fact that A. and W. are favorable to Greeley, therefore, ts significant. Colonel Nichols came With numerous pressing tnvi- tations and important despatches from adherents of Greeley in New Hampshire, THE CLAM BAKB DINNER was announced at two o'clock, and Mr. Greeley, taking the arm of Hon, Thomas Davis, aga! breasted the beating “surf of humaniry, and after desperate struggles succeeded in reaghing tle din- img hall. Considerable delay ensued tn dishing u the clams, and in the meantime orewds of ambi- tious Individuals tried to scale the windows and steal their way into the honor of dining witha robable President, but they were neatly caught in he act and ignominiously expelled. Mr. Greele seated at the head of the first table wit Amasa Sprague, and Mr. Davis, opposite him and ex-Mayor Barstow on his right. The members of the press Sore Ding this new expedition and search corps into New England occupied the table next to the sage. f THE CLAMS WERE FINALLY BROVONT OUT, piping hot, and the Philosopher, whose appetite had ecome clamorous, Wen’ to work upon the bivalves tooth and nail—that 1s, he used his fingers and mo- lars, In accordance with the demand of stern ne- cessity; for baked clans can't be eaten with a fork, The clam bake was not wholly, however, a bake of clams. There wag an excess of clams, it is true, ‘There were clam, chowder and clam cakes and fried clams in addition to the baked ones; but there were also baxed potatoes and boiled corn. On this substantias food the Philosopher and the two hun- dred chysen ones who were permitted to share bis dinner filled themselves to the utmost. ” SATISFACTION OF EVERY STOMACTI. , Then the Philosopher abrapily rose and plunged Once again into the raging sea outside, It tossed missed on account of the complainant failing to | pupae, avasey and go on with at cae Uyon eso statem@uts the case was adjourned until & woek Gon Monday next. 4 him to and fro, as the surf might a lifetowt but, towering above nearly every. one in the crowd, and Wielding good-naturediy the lusty arm that has compassed the destruction huge homlocks in the Chappaqua forest, the great Wood-chopper mi Aged to secure a pasaage for himself to the step: the Vue de I'Eau House, where | nds had i”? reso! tom ty but . said SAGE SHOOK HIS HEAD wraniy, and remarked to a gentleman near him {hat tf ho made a speech everything he said would be tele- gra] hed over the country and misinterpreted. ‘here are New York reporters enough here to Send it correctly,” responded the gentleman. but nigit editors and talogeaph Operate ate Pad y ‘aph operat thew te get it wrong.” seulement de dla The hand shakin lasted iy half an hour, Mr. Greeley standing during that time under the pro- tecting shelter of an umbrella to avoid the rays of the sun. During the hand shaking a lady sent him @ handsome bouquet, which ho carrried with him during the rest of tho day. The crowd had spread greatly, that tt touched upon the ee of a slight blut’ which was guarded by a stout fence.

It Was finally proposed that the Sage take a quiet turn through the grounds, but a quiet turn was an utter impossibility. The moment he left the friendly defences of the piasxa his guard of friends, com- prains Mr. Davis and Mr. Sprague, was swayed ack and forth like reeds before the wind, and it was only the oak like steadiness of the Philosopher that saved him from being rent in twain, Te was attacked with sich vehemence by the two ardent hands of friends and adherents that his position can be likened to nothing so appropriate as that of A BAITED BULL, He took refuge froin his friends in tne ice cream saloon, and in the dancing saloon, and even IN THE LAGER BERR SALOON, From each he was routed by the pressing of those who could not be restrained from shaking his hands. It seemed to me a terrible penalty to have “to pay for even the great fame and honors that Horace Greeley has achieved.”” “Look, my boy,’ said a gentleman to a bright be lity he held ER i his orn to catch a glimpse ie Sage, “wouldn’t you like t ei Seer y O be a great man “Not tf all them people crowded me that way,” sald'the boy.
