Allowing the Union mporflies as set down
abore to fajtl 0ft.25.000, Lipeoln will still have a
majority of 250,000 on the home vote, surely
to satisfy his roost ardent .friends, and
more than' enough to prevent anything like a
charge of fraud, or corruption.
The following Stans, viz—Kansas, Nevada,
Oregon and California are yet to hear front.
Three oT them, if not all four, will undoubtedly

Returns received from the army indicate that
Lincoln will receive at least two-thirds of the

Ueatett*m Commanding James Parker, Jr.,
of the Unitfd Sates gunboat Maumee, received,
when V-hidj, the appointment of a cadet at " c»t

strict in Ohio. Parker was ion
in-emef lhe Aemmr, and his father, dcsir
ous itiaf letne one in Iris town should have the
benefit of (lie appointment, cast alarm for a boy
worthy of it. In a dry-goods store'was a lad, die

supported a widowed mother and sister. The place
was offered to ifim, hut was at first refused, as he
disliked to give up the ejerkslrip. Upon being

mcmber«l, says the Alexandria, V irgima, A/a/f
Journal, that'Mosby has had in his service for .a
long time a deserter from our anny—sth New
York cavairv—known as die “Big ankeo.
Mosbv has always regarded him as the most
valuable man in his command. He figured quite
Virgelv in the capture of Gen. Stoughton iithuir
jajf Court tt'miwt over a year ago— indetul. it was
through his agency tliat this dash of Moshy suc
ceedS. Well, the “Big Yankee has at Ins
come to grirf. A f«w days ago Moshy had
some important messages to send to a distant
point, ami the errand was considered a very dnn
iorous one. The “ Big Yankee ” prc.pwed to un
dertake the W>, and Moshy, considet.ng him very
valuable, and not desiring to lose him, endeavored
to pLuade him not to go. .But he l*->i-l«' m
ffjing and Mo-br finally consented. He started,
but never ret un.erl. On his way he en.suu.tered a
small souad of Union cavalry, who halted him mid
demanded his surrender. He relused, saving
“ there was .no surrender for him, and at the
tame time he commenced tiring into the squad,
which bad halted him- The act result.* in his
death as he was immediately shot dead by our
men. ’ So ended tiro career of a most noiotious
and lawks* man.

ihe middle of the Ihdgn as we laid seen him at first,
with his batfdo sob * 011. and looking se il nothing

mu to be seen. He told us then to untie him,
whi'di wc did, and a precious lone time it took us
to do it, for he \v:i> so lirmly tied and knotted up.
After he was five, he sat for a short time, appa
