Apvance Movewent or tue Canursrs.—A special cable message to the Heraxp from the headquarters of Gonerals Olio and Dorregaray, near Pampeluna, which we print this morn- ing, brings news of an advance movement of the Carlistarupon Arragon. The column com- prises five thousand men. Beyond capturing p few unimportant positions and levying con- tributions on the friends of the government Jittle as yet has been accomplished. The Cortes is showing some vigor in calling eighty thousand of the reserves into the field, and with proper reinforcoments the advance may be checked. Within the last fortnight the prospect has improved for the Republic, nnd neither Don Carlos nor Don Alfonso is certain of the Spanish throne. Vigor in the govern- ment and loyalty among the soldiery may yet establish the new government on a stronger ‘basis than any of the Bourbons can hope for in behalf of their own effete line. An advance movement of a small force of Carlists has no political or military significance unless the government fails to meet and check it, Tue Cupans cx New Yong and their American ¥ympathizers are not idle. Colonel Macias is now engaged in reorganizing the Cuban League Of the United States, a society formed by Ameri- can citizens for the purpose of rendering yooral and material aid to the struggling Cu- bans. He has already enlisted in the move- ‘nent prominent friends of the administration in this city, who will exert their influence with the government in favor of the patriots. General McMahon, President of the League, Ss warmly co-operating with Colonel Macins, but has signified his intention to resign the Presidency at the next mecting of the Execu- five Committee, NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1873—WITH SUPPLEMENT, The “Death Strugglc”—Modern Con- servatism and Modern Radicalism— Which Is Right and Which Is to Wiat It is only a few days since we printed an ac- count of he visit made by the Duke de Broglie to Lyons and of the speech which he made on the occasion, using words which will riag over the world. He spoke of radicalism and modern society, of the aggressive and con- seryative elements; the one courting order, and the other hungering for plunder; the one respecting existing rights, and the other clamor- ing for liberty, equality and fraternity; and he said that radicalism and society were engaged in a “death struggle.” At the same time Victor Hugo was announced as the apologist of Henri Rochefort, asking commutation of sentence. De Broglie, a truco conservative, promptly answered that the *4ntellectual ability of the offender only served to increase his responsibility.” No man having any re- spect for the experience of the past can refuse to admit that the Duke de Broglie, by his ‘death struggle” remark, has struck a keynote which will command attention and serious thought all over the civilized world. This morning we print a long letter from a special correspondent, giving o full and graphic account of the French pilgrimages to ancient shrines—pilgrimages which, in regard to numbers and intensity of feeling, recall the spirit of the Middle Ages. Our long letter of Sunday lest and our letter of this morning ought to convince our readers that while we are most anxious to give news we are also anxious to be absolutely impartial We ask our readers, those of them who have not road and those of them who have read the article of Sunday, to read the descriptive article of this morning, and, after they have read them both, patiently to come to their own conclusions. A great daily paper should be a daily mirror; and the mirror should reflect the world—the great facts and events of the day, as well as the small, finding their proper place and their proper prominence. It was wont to be said that France was the pivotal country of Europe. The late war spirit somewhat spoiled that theory. But France is, once again, al- most fred, and all but a unit, and the ancient Gallic centre commands the attention of the nations. These pilgrimages, it must be ad- mitted, are most important facts of the day, which cannot and which must not be ignored. In the Hznatp of Sunday last we printed the first letter descriptive of these pil- grimages, in which the writer plainly told us that he was engaged to give an impartial while a full account of the French religious pilgrimages. The letter of Sunday and the letter of this morning will, we think, justify that claim. The letters speak for themselves, ond no one can say that our correspondent does more than reflect the situation. To-day, as on Sunday last, the reader is permitted to be one of the pilgrimage party ; with thousands of French people, of all ages and of all sexes, of all ranks and of all classes, the rich and the poor, the high-born and the low-born, he moves from stage to stage, from holy place to holy place, from shrine to shrine, and piety in the old good sense is never violated. It is a strange and wonderful picture. In Italy, in Portugal, in Spain, it would not have sur- prised us; but in France—the France which must forever remain memorable in con- nection with the Revolution of 1789, and with the terrific events of 1872; the France of the Encyclopwdists, of Voltaire, of Rousseau, of Auguste Comte and of Henri Rochefort—such pilgrim- ages must be pronounced a world’s won- der. For years and years—since the begin- ning of this century, in fact—we had been taught to believe that France was leading the world into new pathways of thought, checked in her desires and her purposes only by out- side interests and by inside prejudices; and yet to-day we find that same France, which has gone through all that experience, and learned all those lessons, and cherished all those desires, and formed all those purposes, delibe- rately going back to the foundations of faith, to sacred names, to sacred spots, to scenes and memorials inseparably associated with the nation’s growth and the nation’s greatness, Our correspondent tells us that the pilgrims, whom from day to day he sees and with whom he mingles, are not of the vul- gar class. The thousands on their route to the sacred places are, as we have said, of all ranks and classes; but they are, most of them, if not all of them, in a position to pay their own way. They are, though mixed, the people of the better class. Among the crowd there are representatives of the ancient noblesse, Orleanists, Bonapartists, and even good republicans, statesmen, priests, jour- nalists of the various régimes, but ell of them inspired with one thought—reverence for the past, This reverence fer the past is, so far as France is concerned, a strangely mixed affair. It is a feature of the situation and well worthy of study. In that crowd of which we have said so much are the representatives of all ranks and of all classes of the French people. There are legitimists, who believe in the Count de Chambord; Orleanists, who believe in the Count de Paris; Bonapartists, who believe in the Prince Imperial, and men of all shades of belief, who, whilo they belong to no party, are yet full of faith in good order and good government, There is only one party which finds no place in these pilgrimages, and that is the party of disorder, the men of the Commune, the rebels against law, order and good government. Politically this may not secm to mean much, but it is hard to think that out of all this religious show there is to be no fruit. Fruit of some kind there must be, and it is hard to get over the thought that this fruit is in favor of conservatism and a royalist restoration, What is the moral of this story, of this national experience, of this pictorial lesson? The answer was given to our correspondent by @ venerable pilgrim who had enjoyed life in its higher phases, and who had been at one time French Ambassador to the Court of Austria, Laying his hand on the shoulder of our correspondent he said:—‘My friend, I have long been convinced that there is nothing trae in this world but Chris- tianity, and every man of real intellect whom I have met in life has arrived, by divers modes of reasoning, at the same conclusion.” This seems, after all, to be the true answer to the question suggested by the French pil- grimages. It seems to be more. It seems to exvlain the Duke de Broglie’s remark about the ‘death struggle.” We willingly admit that France experiments for the benofit of the world; that by great efforts and by great sacrifice France solves great problems; and we ore very for from_beipg unwilling to profit by the lessons of French experience. After having been taught by the wisest, after having been led by the ablest, and after having pa- tiently sounded the depths of a sorrowful experience, France comes forth and tells the nations that there is nothing like tho old faith—n like Christianity. In Ben pilgrimages there is no doubt much to laug! at, fuch to condemp, but. the sentiment at the bottom is godd. indicate & reaction; but the reaction is in favor of truth and goodness and the general well-being of society.‘ Though some of us may consider that the backward leap has been extreme we mustat the samo time ad- mit that its lesson is deeply instructive. Extremes breed extremes; but the result in this case is an addition to the world’s store of knowledge. We have little hope and we have less desire to see shrines in the New World, except such shrines as ought to belong to every man’s household, and these can neither become too numerous nor too sacred; but al- though a peculiar people, with a peculiar bis- tory, we may still learn from the experience of other nations. It will be well if the les- son which France is again reading to the world is not wholly lost upon us.. Let us cling to the old highways, which lead onward and upward. Let us avoid the byways and backways which lead backward and down- ward. In the long ran cautious conservatism must win. The ‘death struggle’ ought not to be experienced here unless we court it. The Summer and the Prospective Crops. The Weather Bureau has recently so en- Targed the scope of its monthly review as to make it a new and noticeable as well as highly useful record of the season. From that just issued for the preceding month much may be gathered in rogard to the past Summer, bear- ing on the genoral meteorology of the country and the prospective agricultural yield of the various sections, The July weather may be said to determine, as far as meteorolgical in- fluences go, the crop conditions of the United States, and hence the current weather review is of unusual interest. It appears that the rainfall in the South Atlantic and Gulf States has been about the normal or average quan- tity, with a deficiency in tho Lower Mississippi Valley, but the temperature has been but very little, if anything, in excess through the cotton belt, Cotton is decidealy a sun plant, requir- ing a bigh Summer temperature (although not tropical), and never seems to be injured by tho most intense midday heat. When other crops are withering under the blazing sun the large succulent cotton leaves seem unaffected and rather to court the congenial temperature. The exten- sive leaf surface of the plant, from which evaporation is very rapid, demands, however, considerable moisture, not in the shape of heavy rains (which, especially after the plant is advanced, rot the bolls and produce the destructive “boll worm” and other insects and cause the cotton to hang out in trailing and draggled fibres), but in the shape of abundant aqueous vapor suspended in the air. But as these conditions are hard to realize dry years are said to be emphatically those of the largest and best cotton crops. Combining the June and July reports we find that in the cotton belt there has been this Summer, 80 far, an excess of rain varying from six and a half inches to .86 of an inch—an amount by no means inconsiderable—while, unfortu- nately, we d6 tot discover any compen- sation by higher temperature; bat, 6 the contrary, for the two months named the thermometric range has been rather lower. These conditions do not augur well for the cotton crop, and the prospect is not bright- ened by the weather which has prevailed in the cotton-growing region since the present month began. Since that time numerous heavy rains have been reported and several days of unusual thermometric depression, un- der which the crop must have suffered. The only portion of the cotton-growing districts which has been exempted from these unfavor- able conditions is that small portion lying on its outskirts, in the lower valley of the Missis- sippi. So far as the corn crop is interested in the weather, taking both June and July, it appears that the rainfall has beon rather in excess in the West and Northwest (although for July it was in deficiency in the Northwest), and this looks as if, at any rate, corn will be abundant in the great corn-producing States. This is likewise true of the upper and lower lake regions and New England, but otherwise in the Middle States, where, both in June and July, there was, at a critical time, a deficiency of rain and disproportionate ther- mometric excess. In the valuable publication to which we havo alluded it appears that the mean latitude of the tracks pursued by American storms this Summer is forty-seven degrees north—a re- markably high parallel compared with that which they had previously pursued. These interesting data—the chromo-lithographic maps and the various other features, such as river and ocean temperatures, river oscilla- tions, prevailing winds, isobaric and isother- mal charts for the month—will prove of the utmost utility to all intelligent farmers and merchants. They will, too, if properly devel- oped and discussed, afford means for the fu- ture prognostications—so long desired—of the crop statistics of the United States, The Railroad Power Captaring the Democratic Politicians. A family war has commenced among the democratic politicians of San Francisco. railroad power is the Mephistopheles that has done the mischiof. One convention of the party—the legislative—has, it is charged, been packed by the railroad monopolists and mado gominations for the Legislature in the interest of the railroads. The Municipal Convention of the same party is disgusted and proposes to make a separate ticket, independent of railroad influence. Expressions such as “packing the Convention” and “treacher- ously selling out to the railroads’? are freely used. Democrats of influence and holding positions in the first named Convention have resigned, and there is considerable excites ment ovor the affair, The railroad men have, seemingly, made a botch of the business. They ought to have come to New York or Pennsylvania for advice, for in these States the railroad magnates cau buy up leaislatures and politicians by the wholesale. After all, this little event is only one of the prelimi- nary skirmishes of the great battle that has to come off between the railroad monopolists and people, in which the politicians will range themselves on the side that will pay best. The Great Anti-Cyclone—Its Probable Trens-Canadian Origin. From all the reports that reach us regarding the recent great storm it appears now to have been what meteorologists have distinguished as an anti-cyclone. In the ordinary storms which pass over the country, as well as in those which ravage the tropical seas, the atmospheric disturbance is cyclonic—that is to say, the direction of the whirl of the wind is opposed to that of the hands of a watch, and this rotation proceeds around a warm centre of low barometer; but in the anti- cyclone the barometer gives extremely high readings, and the whirl or sweop of the winds is in the samo direction in which the hands of the watch move. In the recent great storm there was no cyclone in the United States which could at all explain the magnitutte and severity of the gale. Our old pilots reported on Thursday that outside of Sandy Hook they encountered some of the roughest seas they have seen in many years, The whole region along the lakes seams to have been affected by some dis- turbance, tho cause of which must be looked for outside ond far north of the United States; and the anti-cyclonic winds from an enor- mous area of high barometer alone furnish a plausible solution of the mystery. The first indication which the gale gave of its severity was in the high northeaster at Long Branch and the majestic billows dashed up on the Jersoy shore. This northeaster evidently be- longed to o system of winds connected with an immense and cold anti-cyclone moving across the basin of Hudson Bey and wholly beyond the northward stretch of telegraph lines, which, had they been in existence, might easily have afforded premonitions of the gale. Supposing such an enormous meteor in motion across these high latitudes, and only upon such a supposition, it is easy to see that the revolving mass of the anti-cyclone, as it advances toward the Labrador coast and the Gulf of St. Law- rence, would throw off from its eastern side precisely such a northeasterly wind as for more than two days continued to pile the storm clouds over our Atlantic seaboard. This coldnortheasterly offshoot, except, perhaps, in this midsummer season, whon the seaboard was covered with a moist and- vapor-laden air, would have been productive of no such extra- ordinary rainfalls as the papers have reported to have taken place from Virginia to Massa- chusetts, but the gale itself would, at any time, have been considerable and dangerous, It is of no small moment, therefore, that the Do- minion government, which has already shown much zeal in organizing a weather system in the valley of the St. Lawrence, should post its meteorologic sentinels as far northwestward as possible, so as to secure that timely premoni- tion of such anti-cyclonic gales as telegraphic reports from their territory alone can ever hope to adequately supply. The friendly co- operation which exists already between Canada and the United States in the interchange of weather intelligence has proved of great ser- vice to Canadian shipping on the lakes and on the Canadian seacoast, and the Canadian au- thorities can well afford to extend the line of their weather sentinels in tho direction sug- gested—a service which would be as highly appreciated in this country as it would re- dound to their own commercial and marine interests. France=The Restoration Sentiment Chiselhurat nd the Bonapartists. In the Hzratp of this moriing we print o special despatch from London having a midst important bearing on the future of France. Yesterday several hundred Frenchmen called at Chiselhurst to pay their respects to the ex- Empress Eugénie and her son. The occasion was sanctioned by all the solemnities of the Church. A formal Bonapartist address was read, and the Prince Imperial made a formal reply. For a young man, like the Prince Im- perial, the reply was in good taste. Of course it was well prompted. ‘‘All for tho peoplo and by the people,” were well chosen words, and the time must come when they will be re- membered. The Count de Chambord may yet rule in and over France ; but so long as the Hotel des Invalides contains the mortal re- mains of the First Napoleon, and a living heir exists, the Empire must be regarded as one of the possibilities of the future. Chisel- hurst, like St. Helena, will live, and France will not forget either the one or the othor. Ideas rule France, and the Nopoleonic idea is not yet dead, the Bonaparte speech of yester- day being very generally accepted as a good set-off against the Bourbonist movement of Count de Chambord. The Dock Commission. Our straggling wooden wharves are un- worthy of a great commercial city. We have @ highly respectable Commission of Docks which has charge of these rotting structures. It was created to build and control a systom of piers and docks extending along our rivers, encircling the city with a line of substantial masonry like that lately finished at the Bat- tery. Instead of carrying on this noble enter- priso it employs itsolf in the petty peddling of driving wooden piles and patching up the old wooden piers which would be unworthy of the smallest port on a Western lake, not to say the greatest of American cities. It is now devot- ing its energies to directing a force of about thirty men puttering about fixing a manure dump on Vescy street pier to impregnate with poison all the meats in Washington Market, in spite of the protest of the Board of Health. Can New York have no better service in the Dock Commission than this picayune tinker- ing? We need in this position men who ap- preciate the needs of a great city, who seo the difference between the New York of to-day and of fifty years ago, What would have suited our harbor in the days of the horse-power ferryboats is quite different from now, when steamers bearing the flags of all nations are daily arriving and departing on the transatlantic voyage. We need a live Dock Commission, wide awake to the exi- gencies of our present and the greatness of our future, Lotit build so that fifty years hence our children may not be ashamed of its work. New York is able to construct proper docks, but too poor to pay for any more such shiftless make-believes as piers formed of trees driven inte the mad, Tux Srzammoat Stavourer on the Poto- mac has been made the subject of the usual official farce. When the community is ap- palled by the news of a frightful disaster by rail or steamer an investigation is at once demanded, But it proves in all casesa de- plorable humbug and no guilty parties ore discovered. The Potomac slaughter has been decided upon, and it appears that nobody is to blame. What matters it, in the judgment of the government authorities, that the captain and mate had no license, and that the engineer was too busy with private specu- lations to attend to his duties and that he often left a boy in charge of tho engine? The slaughter of sevénty human beings is simply an unpleasantness, Such is the result of government investigations, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Mayor W. L. Stokeley, of Philadelphia, is at the St. Nicholas Hotel. Judge Amasa J. Parker, of Albany, has arrived at the St. Nicholas Hotel, N Mayor Medill, of Chicago, will follow bis family to Enrope in about two weeks, Assemblyman John O.

Prince Napoleon asks to be reinstated as a general of division of the French, as every general who has held a chief command before the enemy must, from an old law of France, be retained in po- sition till death. The Prince commanded the Fifth corps in Italy in 1859. PRESIDENT GRANT. The Head of the Nation Travelling with Speaker Blaine—Departure of the Party from Augusta—Receptions and Hand- shakings—Arrivai at Rockland—On Bourd a Stcamer for Bar Harbor. ROCKLAND, Me., August 15, 1873, The Presidential party left Augusta at nino o’clock this morning, and run through to Bruns- wick, the home of ex-Governor Chamberlain, and beyond a few stragglers who were at the depot there were none to do him honor, and no demon- stration was mae, At Bath a large number of persons assembied, and a few of the prominent citizens en- tered the car and paid their respects. A large number of small boys climbed the sides of the palace car and peered in. But this not satisfying them, they got upa cheer, in which some of the adults joined. This brought the President ont, and he politely bowed his acknowledgments and r Wek is was the first approach fo a teat a She hs Thas Face iyg since he entered the State on Tuesday. Lwa {NG BATH AT TWENTY MINUTES TO ELEVEN, the special was ya i: the railway ferry to cross the Kennebec River to Woolwich. Senator Blaine pointed out the points of interest in the pretty town of Bath, which, within the past two years has taken sudden and new enorgy and is growing into a@great manufacturing centre. Young Mr. Blaine and his accomplished sister sat on the left of the car, on either side of Miss Nellie, and entertained her with plcasant remarks upon the town and its hospitable people, and directed her attention to the monster shipg that lay upon the stocks in the numerous yards, growing hourly in proportions and galulng form and beauty, as an evidence of in- creasing prosperity of the commerce of the country under her father’s fostering. f AT WOOLWICH @ few persons were assembled, and Mr. Blaine again escorted the President out, who bowed slightly in recognition of a tewchcers that greeted his appearaaee, The whistle signalled the starting, and slowly the train moved out of tho depot. in- creasing, velocity as the engineer, with his freight of brains and beauty, put his engine upon its best behavior, sf if if AT WISCASSET AND NEWCASTLE, Fifteen minutes brought the party to Wiscasset, Where were a small crowd of speciators awaiting the train; they pressed about it and gave expression to their esteem for the visitors in hearty cheers, A rapid run of eighteen minutes sent the special up to the Newcastle depot,qvhere were congre- gated about flity persons of both sexcs. Again he Speaker escorted his guest out, and again the guest bowed gracefully his acknowledgments of the greeting he had secured at the bands of a portion of the crowd. Away like @ fash sped the train, and in seven minutes it reached Daiarscotta Mills. Hero Gen- eral Grant, who had somewhat recovered from the hand-shaking matinée to which Governor Perham treated him, not only bowed, but from the plat- form shook hands with all Who sought she honor. The engineer again touched his lever and the train was, & minute or two later, thundering alon; through serpentine curvings towards Rockland, Where the cutter awaited them, Past Warren and Waidboro it rolled at lightning speed, and next halted for a moment at Thomaston, to allow the chief of the party to receive @ very hearty recep- tion at the hands of its people, who for an hour had patiently stood in the rain for the privilege of seeing the head of the nation, Seven minutes’ run brought the party to thia city. ARRIVAL AT ROCKLAND. At the depot, on the arrival of the train, there ‘Was no unusual display, The party quictly entered their carriages in waiting and proceeded to the wharf, where the McCulloagh was in hbo and were received by the officers. Soon quite a large assomblage had congregated, among whom were many prominent residents of the place, who called loudly ior the President, He responded, and, ap- pearing upon the deck, bowed to the masses and exchanged complimentary greetings with all who approached to pay their respects. A SEA TRIP TO BAR HARBOR. The cutter about one oclock got under steam, and, heading down the bay, started for Bar Harbor, Mount Desert, where, if the on Rata not delay her, she Will arrive about six o’cloc!

Additional particulars have been received at the War Department from Lieutenant J. N.

Condit Smith, who was at one time on General Sherman's staf as quartermaster, gave Washington a decided sen- sation, as he was thought to be Boss Tweed, and 80 believed to be by everybody who saw lim.

One of the morning papers says:—“Mr. Tweed visited during the day the various banking houses, and manifested a more than usual interest in the progress of improvements in this District and the value of the various bonds which have been issued. The interest manifested by this honorable gentle- man and his commendation of the system of im- provements now in progross, it ts reported, had the effect of enhancing the price of certificates among the brokers on Fiiteenth street some three or four per cent in some fifteen minutes. It fs also said he was looking aiter some of his investments in this city.” An Insane Plate Printer.
