BEBFORD PA., FRIDAY, NOV. 9.
ff_ U'' ■
LAST TUESDAY'S ELECTM?***/
i Up to the time we go' to press we ho e
received very little intelligence !'nmi the
fHtatos which voted <n hist Tuesday. Mas
feachu etts, New York, Missouri, Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin are reported as
having given large majorities for the Re
publicans. New Jersey is reported to have
gone tbe r-ame way by a small majority ; on
the other hand Maryland and Delaware are
[said to have gone tfith small majorities for
the Copperheads. John Morrissey is elect
ed to Congress from New York. We will
give full particulars next week.
*
AN HONEST CONFESSION.
The Gazette blurts out the following
| solemn truth, something that very seldom
E happens
"Curtin was elected in iB6O, receiving
p46,0(J0 votes and getting a majority of
[32,000. lie was re- elected in 1863. receiv
ing 209, WU votes and getting nearly J 6,001>
majority. At the late election C'lymcr
received 290,000 votes, 21,000 more than
Curtin got in 1863, and 26,000 more than
he got in 1860. Isn't it a little singular
! tbat Geary should be counted in, despite
' this enormous increase of Democratic votes?
I There's cheating around the board, or we're
i most egregriously mistaken.
Certainly that was cheating "around the
board," there is no mistake iu it. 20,000
of the 26,000 increase of Copperhead votea
since Curtins election, were imported, were
FRAUDULENT. Mr. Clymer knew this, and
this fact alone made him over sanguine of
election and accounts for his toleiurr assev
eiations, in the last week or two of the can
vass, that he would be elected. The world
must certainly be coining to an end when the
GautU begins to tell the truth.
BEECHEK'S LAST SERMON.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who was late
ly so glibly quoted by the (iazette, on Hun
day evening, the 2ft ult., preached a ser
mon which we hope it will copy. He
■aid:
"Governor Fenton represents the idea of
civic reformation. Mayor Hoffman rcpre
sents the idea of continued ruisgovernment
in the State, and you may smooth it by what
names you please, he represents no reforma
tion, while the popular party, represented
by Governor Fenton in the State, represents
reformation in civie affairs. T have aright
then, on the broad ground of morals, to ap
peal to the interests, to the reason, and to
the conscience of every thoughtful man on
thss subject, and I do. I have a right to ap
peal to every man of party, and say if you
love Christianity, and if you love niorality,
and would spread it, I demand in the name
of Christ and niorality that you give your
vote and influence to that side that will most
certainly establish justice and equality.
fltayThe sharpers in the Copperhead
party, of which of course there aic very
few, are up to a thing or two. Whenever
they want to wring the substantial out of
their party leaders, they not only swear that
they will join the Republicans, but they
talk Republican ; immediately the princi
pals come to tonus. they "sock up" one
way or another and the sharper is a -clear
gainer of something nice, while the poor
fool who votes the Copperhead ticket, with
out a murmur, "early and often," gets
nothing. Serves him right.
The rebels of Maryland acted very
wisely when they requested Col. Filler,
Maj. Meyers and Capt. Palmer of this place
to address them. The two latter could as
sure them that they never faltered in their
sympathy for rebels from the breaking out of
the rebellion to the present, while on the
other hand it gave the Colonel an opportu
nity to apologize for assisting in drubbing
them and satisfied his new friends that he ia
firm in the faith. Pass along the "orfis."
1®- The Gazette is very much dissatisfied
with the Congressional Apportionment in
this State. We expect to see it advocate
secession in a short time. We hope it will
not only advocate it but proceed to carry
out Southampton, Juniata, Colerain, Ac.,
and unite them with Berks, Luzerne, York,
Ac., and form a Congressional District en
tirely to its taste. We can spare Southamp
ton and Juniata very readily.
J©"*There are two classes of men whose
chances for office are remarkably good
at present. They are the bolters—the fel
lows who bolt from the Republican Party
and those who threaten to bolt from the
Copperhead party.
We had some hopes of carrying Al
legany county, Maryland, until Col. Filler,
B. F. Meyers and John Palmer, Esqs.,
threw their tremendous weight into the
scale. We have no returns up to this date.
NAPOLEON'S DEATH EXPECTED—A Ber
lin letter by the last steamer says: The cel
ebrated Dr. Langenbeck, the Chief Surgeon
of our army, left two days ago for Biarritz,
to consult with the Physicians of the French
Emperor on the possibility of an operation.
Yesterday a dispatch was received from our
Embassay at Paris that there is no hope of
recovery for Napoleon, and that his death
may be hourly expected, the fact being only
still kept secret.
THE Revenue Conrmfcismners estimate
that over 42,000,000 gallons of distilled
spirits, 186,000,000 gallons of fermented
liquors, and 10,000.000 gallons of imported
liquors, are annually consumed in this coun
try, costing $500,000,000. The Govern
ment revenue derived from the liquor busi
ness is estimated at $47,727,276 annually.
The debt of the State of Pennsylvania
has been reduced $1,158,009.62 during the
year ending September 3. 1866. The in
debtedness of the State on the lstofDecem
ber, 1865, was $37,476,258,06, the assets in
the Treasnry being $13,623,668.14—1eaving
the liabilities of tne Statp over assets $23,-
853,589.92.
THE emigration from the South of Ireland
partially suspended during the harvest, is
reviving. The tickets are in very many in
stances prepared by the friends of the emi
grants in this country.

The True Policy for the Southern State*
The New York correspondent of the Rich
mond Examiner writes in that journal, un
der date of October 23 :
"I speak whereof I know when I sny that
leading men who, as a matter of principle,
oppose all conditions of restoration as at va
riance with the Constitution and tire plight
ed faith of the government, unhesitatingly
express the opinion that as a-matter of expe
diency the South should ratify the amend
ment to strengthen the moderate element fn
Congress, and so to avert the troubles which
the extreme radicals hold in reserve. Jhe
opinion is shared by several eminent South
erners who have been here long enough to
understand the feeling of the North on the
subject of restoration. General Diet Taylor
it is confidently comes within this
category." ' .
The Galveston BnUetin says:
"W* must learn to welcome with gladness
as the results of the war, free labor, the civil
equality and constitutional freedom of a'l
men, or we shall have neither peace nor
prosperity. Men of the South forget that
they are living in the year of grace 1866,
and imagine tbey are living in 1860. They
forget that certain principles have been es
tablished by the blood of a half million men,
and that they never can lie changed. Like
the laws of the Medes and Persians which
altered not, the Union is perpetual, univer
sal freedom is established, and all men are
eqUal before the law. These principles are
firmly established and cannot be changed.
Nor would the South have sought to ignore
these issues, but for the influence of north
ern parties. The same party which encour
aged the South to enter the rebellion and in
duced her to continue tbe struggle long after
it was perfectly hopeless, is now exciting her
to demand better terms than those offered.
When the celebrated Father OLeary was
told that Protestants never would believe in
purgatory, he dryly replied that they might
go farther and fare worse —a fats that we
fear is in store for the South if she contin
ues to persistently reject the terms offered
by Congres?. If, blinded by her ottn folly,
she will not see the deception practised ttpon
her by Northern parties, but continue to
take their promises as genuine, then she
roust and will suffer the penalty of her folly.
That party which is urging the South to re
ject the Constitutional Amendment does not
represent the people of the North ; they are
now playing the same tune they have so of
ten played before: "Trust us a little longer,
we will certainly win next time. " Like the
ruined gamester, they are in constant hope
of gaining the prize which always eludes
their grasp. Let the men of the South dis
card the advice of those that Lave deceived
them so often, and follow their own sub
stantial convictions of right, and all will be
well."
9f*k-A Philadelphia paper calls attention
to the fact that the beginning of the new
year will witness the inauguration of unbro
ken steam communication around the globe,
to be thenceforth nrosecoted as regularly
as the arrival and departure of Euiopean
steamships at our wharves. The steamship
Henry Cuauncey will sail on the 11th of
December for the Isthmus ; will connect
there with the Golden City for San Francis
co ; and from San Fraucisco, on the first of
Jauuary, the steamship Colorado will sail
for Yokohamo, in Japan, and Hong Kong,
in China. If, arrived at the latter port,
the passenger wishes itill to journey west
ware!, he can proceed by the boats of the
Peninsula ana Oriental Company to Bom
bay, and onward through the Red Sea to the
Isthmus of Suez, which, crossed by rail,
conducts to the British line ofMediteranean
steamers, touching at Malta and Gibralter,
and arrive in England, where a few hours of
railway will enable him to take passage in
one of a dozen lines of steamships for. this
country—the supposed point of departure.
A native Greek merchant in Egypt had
some dispute with the late Viceroy. The
Greek's goods were seized, and a claim was
subsequently made by him for £16,000 for
loss and damages. Finding he could not
succeed in recovering this —whether it was a
just claim is not known —he came to the
United States, remained here a sufficient
time, and became a citizen. He now returns
to Alexandria, aud sends in a claim for one
million pounds. As yet no reply has been
given.
THE OHIO APPLE CROP.—The apple
crop on the Western Reserve is probably
larger than that of any previous season for
many years. The inland towns are ship
ping thousands of barrels. Ottawa, Lenaca
Ashland, Lorain, and a score of counties,
aresending large quantities to New York,
Chicago and other places. The prices is
about three dollars per barrel. Dealers are
paying two dollars without barrels.
Disorder ia North Carolina.
{ A letter to the Washington Chronicle,
dated at Ncwbern, N. CY, October 21, says:
"There ia much, disorder in this State,
and in two or three of the Southeastern
counties hands of robbers and murderers of
high and low degree have become the terror
of all decent people. This is particularly
} thcease in Lenoir and Duplin, and perhaps
Wayoe. I learn these facts from one of the
Stat* Judges, who it affords me pleasure to
say. holds such lawless characters in proper
abbot renee. and who exert ft'lis authority to
sapptess and punish the villains. He in
forms me that these gangs of thugs prowl
isbrro-t fhc country and rob all who come in
their way- iiud especially the negroes. Men
who at the- beginning of the civil war seem
ed to be gi ltlemen, have become so depra
ved and de graded as to steal horses, and
even bten kets, from negroes who are
endeavortnj c to support themselves by hon
est indoscrj . It may be hoped that not
many perse ns of respectable parentage have
defended tc • this level. I learn from the
same respe cable authority and from others
that it r m isafe to travel alone by private
conveyance through the counties which are
infested by these organ ized bauds of villains.
They have become a terror to all classes,
black and white, rebels aud Unionists.
"Murder, robbery, rape, theft and arson
are tbe order of the day, and whites and
blacks are alike guilty. The negroes are
sure to be punished, while the whites very
often escape unwhipped of justice. Perju
ry among these abandoned wretches white
and black —,'s common, and they have no
Koruple about airoaring each other out of
the grip of the law. There ought to be
two or three thousand cavalry in the State,
under the command of discreet and honest
officers. They would exert a wholesome
influence, and would inspire a sense of
security which does not now exist."
"What I have saki of one of the state
Judges, I may say of all. I believe, that
without exception, they are good men. who
mean to do their daty. They were selected
from the class of men who opposed the
rebellion as long as opposition was safe and
i)raeticab!e, and who have none of the life
ong passions and antipathies of the genuine
secessionist to estrange them from the na
tional government. They were, selected
before the State fell so completely under
the control of the party which brought
about secession, and at a time when a
decent respect for tbe opinion of the North
was a controlling consideration. But they
cannot always control juries, not prevent
them from screening bad men from punish
ment, where political passions arid pro
slavery feelings were the incentives to
crimes."
The Harvest in England.
The London Telegraph of (Mnber K> saws:
"The general results of thsTnngely
checkered year may be summed up as fol
lows: Wheat is deficient both in quantity
and quality; barley is a heavy crop, but sadly
injured, and malting barley has suffered
most of all: while oats have sustained least
damage. vAll three are below an average to
the extent of at least a fifth. On the other
hand the moisture which injured the, grain
benefitted the root erops an<i the pastures;
turnips and mangolds swelled prodigiously
under its influence, and the grass is heavy
and luxuriant. Potatoes were beginning to
show symptoms of the old disease, but t ie
dryness of the last fortnight has materially
cheeked the ugly indications; and as the
tubers are strong and well grown, it may be
hoped they have now passed the stage of se
rious: danger.
•"'The quality of the three kinds of grain
presents the widest possible variety. In the
earliest English counties, Kent, Oxfordshire
Berkshire, and one or two others, some
wheat which had ripened under the glowing
sun of last July, was cut and garnered lie fore
the weather broke; and that grab), we l>e
licve is superlative in quality, t hough not.
very heavy in yield. Still the quantity is i
not large, and it tells but little on the gross j
results.
"On the whole we are much less fortunate ;
than last year, the harvest of which was
singularly abundant; or than the previous
year, when the crops, if not very rich, were
excellent in qualify. But wc have not suf
fered so much as sonic of our neighbors. The
summer and autumn have been wet every
where. In France the harvest is very defi
cient and the vintage is among the worst
ever known. In Germany the grain is rot
ting in the fields. In the United States se
rious injury has been done, which the bril
liance of the Indian stammer may be too late
to repair. And in Canada the crops have
just escaped one of the greatest calamities.
Both in Europe and in America there ap
pears to have been something like a deluge
from the heavily laden clouds, such as the
earth could scarcely absorb. In France and ;
the United S'ates rivers have burst their j
banks and inundated the valleys, sweeping
before them household treasures and the j
produce of the fields.
"Acomparative scarcity, then, will in-,
crease the demand for such supplies as the j
markets of the world can collect, and we. may
expect the average prices to be higher than
last year. As a set-off, we have am pie re
serves of food for cattle, and should there
be iK return of the plague we shall find some
compensation for the deficiency of cereals.
At the worst there is no fear of real
scarcity, French buyers may come to our
markets, and purchase to their satisfaction
and our profit, both nations may compete
in the great corn-producing regions border
ing on the Baltic and the Black Sea?; but
there will still be plenty for all.
"Thanks to our more rapid and perfect
communication, we now seldom witness glut
and disastrous lowness of price ID one country
or scarcity and famine prices in another.
The supplies of the whole world are taken,
and a fair average in value is the result,
showing as the grand result a moderate
uniformity in price and a fair regularity in
supply. Even now an order can be flashed
across the Atlantic through that little wire
which is suspended in its rayless depths, and
relief can be sent with a rapidity never be
fore known from regions whose resources are
practically inexhaustible. As to the future
indeed, there is no room for the slightest
anxiety. The dry weather of the last fort
night has enabled our farmers not only to
save the last of their grain from ruin, but
to make a good start towards next year's
crop."
|&~Two Wall street bulls, Mr. G. and Mr.
H., had a dispute on the street, on Monday
and they finally came to blows. Mr. H. was
knocked into the gutter, and two mutual
friends who interfered got served as mutual
friends usually are under such circunistan
stances. When Mr. 11. picked himself up
he called the attention of the assemblage by
taking off his hat and crying : "Five hun
dred dollars reward to any one who will re
turn me my diamond pin, lost in the melee."
A small telegraph boy at his elbow called
out in a squeaking voice : "Here it is, sir ;
come down with your soap !" "Come to
my office, and get it," said Mr. H., and
people walked off, meditating upon the
adage about the "ill-wind?"
A boy less than twelve years old, but
with rascality and impudence beyond his
age, called for and ate a stew at an oyster
saloon in Portland a few days ago, and was
walking ont when the attendant reminded
him that he had not paid for his repast.
"Oh, no," said the lad, "and I've got no
money." "Why did you not tell me that
before you called for the stew ?" "Oh,"
replied the boy with much nonchalance, "I
tried that at Atwood's, but it wouldn't
work" ; and thereupon departed with great
apparent satisfaction.
FROM BALTIMORE.
The >'■ Commissioners Demand the
-Surrender of the Marshall's Ollice, &c.
They are Refused Admittance- No
Disturbances Have Occurred.
BALTIMORE, NOV. 3 M. —The Sher
iff is reported to be gat heriivr a posse. The
new commissioners are ex|>ectea to make a
formal demand, first, for the surrender of the
station houses, books, Ac. If" they are re
fused they will then call upon the Sheriff to
give theiu forcible possession. All is quiet
so far. A very large-force of police are at
all the station houses and at the Marshal's
office.
LATER.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 3—11.J0 A. M.— The
new commissioners appeared at the Mar-*
ahal's office at half past ten o'clock. They
were admitted by the guard withiu the en
closure and proceeded to the door of the
office, where they were met by the clerk of
the board, to whom they made their demand
and requested to see the board.
This was refused, when thev immediately
retired, greeted as they paseed through the
large crowd gathered in front of the office
with derisive laughter by some of the friends
of the old board. They proceeded byway
of Islington street to the Sheriff s office,
where it is presumed they will demand the
aid of the Sheriff. Large crowds arc gath
ercd in the vicinity of the police office and
court house, hut all is jet quiet.
BALTIMORE, NOV. 3. —At noon the new
commissioners, after spending an hour with
their counsel at his office, got into a carriage
leaving a document, understood to be a for
mal demand tor the delivery of the office to
their possession. They took a circuitous
route, and after making a detour of about
one mile to avoid the crowd, approached the
Commissioner's office, where their appear
ance was the signal for tumultous demon
strations of disapproval by the now largely
increased crowd. They were again admitted
to the enclosure at the door of the office,
were met by the Clerk of Commissioners,
who received their document, tolling them
that the Commissioners would immediately
consider the matter, and make their reply in
writing.
Messrs. Yalliantand Young then returned
to their carriage amid mingled groans and
hooting. The carriage drove oft to the cor
ner of North and Baltimore streets, to the
Conservative headquarters, where they were
r.ccived with loud cheering by the crowd
gathered there.
It is now understood they are organizing a
new force. Some five or MX members of the
old force resigned last night and reported to
Me-srs. Young and Yaliiant this morning.
There are reports of an arrival of troops at
Hannon's bridge on the Washington road,
but the report cannot he verified. There is,
of course, much excitement and deep feeling
but so far no distifrbance has occurred.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 3. —The documents fur
nished by the Pew commissioners was a for
mal demand for the surrender of the Station
House and the Marshal's office, the Fire
Alarm Telegraph and the Police force. AH
is quiet. Large crowds arc gathering on the
streets.
THE LATEST.
A BENCH WARRANT ISSCEI) FOR THE ARREST
OF THE NEW COM MISSIONEK s. — THE
SIIIIII IFF SI'.VIMONEH TO APPEAR BEFORE
JFLKIE ROM).
BALTIMORE. Nov. 3 —2.1b p. M
Judge Bond has issued a bench warrant
for the arrest of Messrs. Young and Yal
liant The Judge abo summoned the Sher

were true that he was summoning a posse.
The Sheriff said yes he was doing so at the
request of the new commissioners
The Judge warned him to desist, and
said if he did not obey he would forthwith
cause his arrest.
A few officers have been sworn in by the
new Police Commissioners, and are designa
ted by whi'o ribbon-. It i- expected that
the old force will arrest them.
The expected Meteoric Shower in No
vember—lnteresting Scientific Specu
lations.
Professor Ferguson, of the National Ob
servatory in Washington, is making arrange
ments to take scientific observations on the
expectedmoteoric display in November next.
The subject of meteors and shooting stars
has engaged the attention of eminent astron
omers within the last century to a greater
extent than ever before ; among them Pro
fessors Olmstead, Twining and Newton have
written valuable papers in connection with
it.
The appearance of shooting stars L quite
common, tut in the months of August and
November of each year, they are seen in
greater number*, generally about the 10th
of August and the l"2th of November. The
great Meteoric shower of 1799 seems to
have drawn the attention of astronomers
more particularly to this subject, and irom
that time to the recurrence of the meteoric
shower in 1833, and up to the present day
they have been endeavoring to refer the
different phases and characteristics to the
phenomenon to known laws, and to estab
lish the exact anniversary of its appearance.
Thus far the more brilliant of these me
teoric showers have occurred at intervals of
thirty-three years ; that of 1863 was espe
cially distinguished by the immense number
of moving meteors to be seen at once, and
lor the remarkable size and splendor of ma
ny of them. Among the many myriads of
blazing ipeteors visible on that occasion, one
was seen at several places on this continent.
It was recognized by several observers by its
extraordinary size and brillancy, as well as
by the length of time its train remained
visible, which was about ten minutes. The
luminous train seemed to follow the meteor
in a serpentine course, and finally disappear
ed in a vast nebulus cloud, many times lar
ger than the moon, and which continued to
move onward with a velocity greater than
the clouds.
The meteoric displays of 1799 and 1833
were characterized by the fall of' meteorites,
which rushing towards the surface of the
earth with a loud noise, penetrated beneath
it several feet. The periodicity of these
starry showers is not so definitely ascertain-
cd with regard to the day as to the year.
They have occurred to a'greater or less
degree in the months ef August and No
vest her, from 1833 to 1839, but the most
remarkable of them have appeared on the
12th of November, or between that date and
the 14th.
The next appearance of the meteoric
phenomenon, therefore, is expected on or
about the 12th of next month. The obscr
vations of the astronomers have demonstra
ted that the shooting stars are more numer
ous between midnight and sunrise, and the
majority of them agree in fixing the radiant
point —that point in which the lines descri
bed by the meteors in their lines center —in
the constellation of Txso, limiting the arena of
radiation to the immediate vicinity of Itcgu
las in the neck of the lion. Others assign
the radiant point to the constellation Orion.
The theory most generally accepted in
accounting for the regular recurrence of ute
tooric showers is, that an unusual aggrega
tioa of these asteroids exists in the plane
which i reached by the earth at that point
of its orbit, and through which the earth is
several hours in passing, although obs.rva
tions have not been sufficiently numerous to
establish the exact period of the earth's
arrival at this part of its orbit. During the
flight of meteors in November 1833, much
apprehension was manifiested from the fear
tnat one or more of these asteroids would
come into collision with the earth; but
hitherto no disastrous consequences have
ensued from this crand celestial display, and
although there is some reason to believe
that an event of this kind is possible, scien
tific men unite in the opinion that such a
calamity is not within the hounds of proba
bility.
A Steam Marine for the Gulf.
i'he New Orleans Commercial Bulletin
speaks as follows of the need of a steam ma
rine for the ports of the Gulf of Mexico :
•' I lie Gulf of Mexico and the oceans on
both sides of the continent, and each side of
the equator, especially require the introduc
tion of a steam marine. The strong cur
rents of the Mississippi, the Amazon, and
other bouth American rivers; the powerful
set of the Gulf Stream, the calmness of the
tropics an J the steady prevalence of the trade
winds, combine to constitute obstacles to the
rapid and regular communication which
modern commerce and intercommunication
dema d. llence the organisation of a
steam marine adequate to conduct the vast
trade of the Mississippi Valley with the
tropical and intertropical regions is impera
tively necessary. Where small that com
mercial marine be organized? We answer
without hesitation, iu the Gulf ports of New
Orleans and her sister cities. We ask the
attention of our merchants especially to a
most important and a most encouraging fact.
The home of the sail vessel might be on the
wide ocean. The ships of England might de
part for Good Hope or Calcutta, and be ab
sent in the carrying trade of the world for
years. All ports in which they might refit
were alike to them, and the facilities of refit
ment were simpler and universally accessi
ble. They could sail wherever the water
would float or the wind would blow. As
suming that sail vessels will be superseded
in our ,-eas by steamers to the extent stated,
it is obvious that a different rule must pre
vail hereafter with regard to them. Steam
ships cannot carry any unnecessary coal car
go, and coal cannot be found at every port.
The repair and reconstruction of impaired
machinery requires an organized mechanical
industry which can rarely be found in a sea
port city of the Southern seas. It would be
only justified where the aggregate steam
tonnage is of established importance."
All this will come when the real emancipa
tion of the South is concluded.
The Pork Packing Season
The New Albany, (Ind.) Ledger ofTues
day last says of the condition and prospect
of the coining hog slaughtering season
around the falls of the Ohio, that, "not a
single contract has been made either in New
Albany, Louisville or Jeffersonviile. There
will be hog crop this season. There
is an abundance of the best corn to feed
them on, and for this reason feeders are not
likely to crowd the market until their supply
of corn is pretty well exhausted. It is be
lieved that nearly four hundred thousand
hogs will be slaughtered in the cities around
the Falls during the packing season of 1866-
67. There are no prices established, the
views of packers being widely different as to
what should or will be the opening rates.
The price, it is believed, however, will be be
tween six and a half and seven and a half
cents. These figures are, however, the mere
guesses of packers. The probabilities are
that the opening price will be the same as
at Cincinnati."
Important Front Mexico
NEW ORLEANS, November I . —A private
letter received Irom the Mexican capital an
nounces the defection of a regiment of Mex
ican-, organized with Austrian officers, who
murdered a!! the latter, and went over to
Purfiera Diaz, at Ojaca.
The Austrian band at the Capital has
cea-ed to give its open air concerts, because
of the riotous conduct of the populace.
The Emperor, by reason of the sickness
and distress of mind as to the health of the
Empress, has shut himself up in the Castle
of ( hapuftepec. His early abdication was
expected.
From .New Orleans—Southern Radicals

NEW YORK, November I. —The litraid's
New Orleans special says : A number of
radical .Southerners, including Cutler, the
leading spirit of the Convention of July 30,
have left the city in expectation of a riot to
morrow. Cutler is the author of the report
made in writing that the ex-rebels contem
plate a massacre of the Northern residents
to morrow, and is very generally credited
by everybody.
To-morrow, All-Saints' Day, will pass qui

IJK PETIT JOUUNAL has curious stories at
times; this is one: —
Lately, a travoller passed in a carriage
along the Avenue do Neuilly; the night was
dark; all at once the horse stopped, and the
traveller saw that the animal had met an
obstacle. At the same moment a man raised
himself from before the horse, uttering a
cry. "Why don't you take care?" said the
traveller. "Ah," cried the man, "you
would do better, instead of hallooing to lend
me your lantern." "What for?" "1 bad
three hundred francs in gold on my person;
my pocket has broken, and all is fallen on
the street. It is a commission with which
my master has entrusted me. If Ido not
find the money lama ruined man." "It is
not easy to find the pieces on such a night;
have you none left?" "Yes, I have one.
"Give it to me." The man hesitated.
"Give it to me, it is as a means of recover
ing the others." The poor devil gave him
his last coin. The traveller whistled; a
magniiicanl Danish dog began to leap around
him. "Here," said the traveller, putting
the coin to the nose of the dog, "look. "
The intelligent creature sniffed a moment at
the money, and then began to run about the
road. Every minute he returned leaping,
and deposited in the hand of his master a
napoleon. In about twenty minutes the
whole sum was recovered. The poor fellow
who had got his money back turned full of
thanks towards the traveller, who bad now
got into his carriage. "Ah, you are my
preserver," said he, "tell meat least your
name." "I have done nothing," said the
traveller. "Your preserver is my dog; his
name is llabat Joi e." And then, whipping
his horses, he disappeared in the darkness, j
THE AGRICULTURAL REPORT.— The
monthly report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture says the returns up to the (ir.-t
of August, verify in all essential particulars
the statements respecting the crops contain
ed in previous exhibits. Corn has suffered
from early frosts and excessive raius, but
the quantity of the crop is the largest ever
chronicled. The yield of wheat will not
vary much from 143,000,000 bushels, show
ing a small percentage of decrease, which is
fully compensated by the comparatively su
perior quality of the grain. This is 10,-
000,000 bushels more than the crop of 1859,
and is within 5,000,000 of a product in pro
portion to the increased population. The
diminution in the South is more apparent.
The California wheat harvest is excessive.
The yield of oats is extraordinary and the
quality excellent. The indications point to
an increase from 171,497,072 bushels in
1859, to 271,912,(195 in 1866. It is the only
crop in the South that maintains an equali
ty with the last census exhibit. is
less in quantity than in the previous year
by from one to tw%tenths, but itis better in
quality.
ST. PAUL.— The St. Paul (Minnesota)
Press says the aggregate of freight received
at St. Paul this year has been greater than
ever before. During August and Septem
ber, the quantity of Merchandise delivered at
the St. Paul levee from La Crosse, Prairie
du Chien, Punleith and St. Louis was ten
thousand one hundred tons ! These figures
are taken from the books of the transporta
tion houses, and arc rather under than over
the mark.

The following is an interrogatory put by a

work lor the Republican party now?"
General Logan—"Yes, sir"; I am skin

THE IRISH EMIGRATION.—The emigra
tion front the South of Ireland, partially
suspended during the harvest, is reviving.
The Cork Examiner remarks that "a con
siderable portion of the Emigration takes
place through pre-paid tickets, the friends
of parties in America paying their passage
money there, and during the past month the
number of pre-paid passages has greatly
increased. This shows the great anxiety of
the liish sn America to have their country
men out there."
