THE RESULT. The bright sunshine that ushered in the election day was ominous of the glorious victory that was to crown the Union cause and give assured peace to our torn and bleeding country. The people have render ed their verdict and have shown themselves true to the instincts ot' patriotism and the principles of our Republican institutions, j The advancing hosts of treason, rebellion j and anarchy have once more been hurled, back in overwhelming defeat and disgrace- j ful rout. The result of Tuesday's election j has sent a thrill of joy to every loyal heart j and our people now rest in the contentment of assured peace. He who saved our coun try in the bloody field of battle and drove her enemies into ignominious flight and eventual surrender has now more complete ly and overwhelmingly defeated them at the ballot box. The people have repudiated the repudiators and made a nullity of the nullifiers; they have declared in favor of political integrity and endorsed financial honesty. The sharpers of Wall street and the political tricksters of Tammany have had the seal of the people's condemnation stamped upon them and their policy in in delible colors and unmistakable characters. The peace of the country is now assured and her financial credit firmly established. Peace will be restored to the South aud safety to her citizens and the whole country will speedily enter upon a career of pros perity heretofore unknown. The tidings of our great victory, declaring the stability of our free institutions, will bring joy to the hearts of all the lovers of constitutional lib erty throughout the world and give new hope and strength to the struggling liberals ol Europe. The strength and stability of Republican institutions are to day more firmly established than ever before. BEDFORD COUNTY. The Republicans of Bedford County were wide awake on Tuesday. Seventeen dis tricts heard from give a Union gain of 13-. Bedford borough gives a Republican gam of 13, Bedford township 17, Broad Top township and Coaldale borough 26, Bloody Run borough 6, Saxton borough 1, liberty township 1, Harrison, 9, Colerain 14, St. Clair 14, Juniata 9, Snake Spring 6 South Wood berry 15, Middle Woodberry, 5, Napier township gives a Copperhead gain of, 5, Schellsburg borough, 2, and Y1 ooberry borough 1. These are the ma jorities as reported from all the townships heard from as we go to press. The offi cii returns will doubtless make some changes hat not enough to make any mate rial change in the above figures. TOADAIs* EXTRAORDINARY. Our Minister to England. Reverdy John on. is making an exhibition of diplomatic toadyism, in his such men as Roebuck and Laird, that is calculated to greatly damage the American character in the eyes of European men of sense, and bring the blush of shame to the cheek of . 6Tery tnie V*™*- Reading tho record of bis hob-nobbing with the men who did all in their power to destroy our government one is almost tempted to believe that the old man, in his dotage, has for gotten his mission and imagines him self the minister of the Isie Sou thern confederacy rather of the United States. We are sorry for Reverdy Johnson. It is sad to see an old man, who has preserved a tolerably fair record, in his old age when he ought to command honor and respect, toadying to a set of puree-proud aristocrats, disgracing himself and dishonor ing his country. It is a poor consolation to hear the poor man in his senility say that he bears the censures of his country with chris tian resignation. The most commendable resignation that he can show will be the resignation of the office he has so shameful ly disgraced. YVhy he should choose to cultivate the acquaintance of such men as Roebuck and Laird rather than Bright and Hughes we cannot comprehend, unless it be that he still has a lurking sympathy for slavery and rebellion and & natural affinity for snobs. It is high time that we send, as ministers abroad, men who have some res pect for themselves, who are not insensible to the promptings of patriotism nor igno rant of the spirit of our Republican institu tions; who have learned that all forms of aristocracy are hostile to the spirit of out institutions, that with such we command respect not by grovelling and disgusting flunkyism. but because we have shown our ability and determination to exact our rights among the nations of the earth. Until we do scud such men we may expect these dis gusting exhibitions of sycophancy and toad yism to be indefinitely repeated. ! THE ELOQUENCE of the CAMPAIGN. The Round Table , which has been a supporter of the Democratic candidates, says that "it is a notorious, and now proves a significant fact, that the great bulk of eloquent speaking and clever writing in this canvass have been done for the Repub lican side. With exceptions that may be counted on the fingers, the Democrats have reallv had neither spokesmen nor journal ists whose abilities are worth a straw to their party." Why? Simply because the Republican party has had glorious principles to speak and write about, while the Democrats have been forced, by their platform, to argue in favor of Prejudice, Dishonesty and Revolu tion. Demosthenes himself could not have waxed eloquent in defense of such themes; little wonder then that Seymour and Blair and Vallandigham cl seeu to great ad vantage. He rode a French Velocipede, with a driving wheel of about three feet two inches, and rode it like a master. His slow movement was excellent, without unsteadi ness or wabbling and when he let himself nut he wen 4 with the speed of an arrow. In Paris it is no uncommon thing to see such a vehicle darting hither and thither along the crowded street, but in New York it was a novelty. And yet the velocipede is no novelty. It was invented sixty years ago. Its propelling power was then, as now, the feet of the rider, except that be put them on the ground and trotted along with his ma chine. The present form was devised in 1830 by M. Dreuze. an employee of the French Postoffice, who thought he had made a great thing for letter carriers in the rura' districts. The badness of the roads frus trated his hopes, and his invention fell into obscurity. It is now revived, with more brilliant prospects than ever, and will probably soon be fullv naturalized in every part of the world. There is a great demand for them in this country, which cannot yet be supplied. PETROLEUM IS EUROPE.—Recent advices from abroad communicate the information that springs of mineral oil have been dis covered in the western province of Galicia, and that extensive purpose of reaching the subterranean reservoirs. The surface soil, covering an area of 50,000 acres, it is assert ed, is so thoroughly impregnated with petroleum that it is only uecessary to dig a few feet in order to obtain a handsome re turn for the money expended. The develop ment of this new branch of industry has created a demand lor the services of Ameri can engineers familiar with the methods of sinking wells in the United States, and the reports of the gentlemen from this country, who have visited Galicia, are said to coincide with the sanguine anticipations of the owners of the oil fields. The accounts of this region concur in as erting that the small stream known as the Dunagec, will, in a short time, be surround ed with works as extensive as those now in operation at Oil Creek, Pennsylvania. Less enthusiastic observers, however, cite numerous instances of discoveries abroad of oil, which have by no mcaDs fulfilled the prognostications of the operators. While the United States possesses facilities for raising two and a half millions of barrels of oil ever year, and actually sends abroad 800, 000 barrels, or 32.000,000 gallons, there is not much prospect that these new sources of supply will interfere with her position as the great petroleum market of the civilized world. SUFFRAGE for women is still being agita ted in England, and great efforts are being made to have it became an accomplished fact. Not ODly have fifteen or twenty thou saod women demanded to be registered as voters, but appeals from them are inserted in the English papers to vote for certain candidates. Ladies of high rank, like Lady Farley and Lady Aniberly, are among the callers of political meeting, and, it is stated, appear on the platform. At Manchester, 5,750 women claimed the right to vote, and the revising barrister, whose office it is to decide upon the qualifications of electors, delivered a well considered opinion upon the subject. His examination of the differ ent acts of parliament goes back as far as 1439, when the statute passed in the eighth year of Henry VI, Chapter seven, limited the franchise in counties to "people" resi ding and dwelling in the same counties, and possessing freehold laod of the annual value of forty shillings. Although the word peo ple is used without reference to sex, no in stance can be found in England of women having claimed or exercised the right to vote from 1430 to 1832. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON is now engag ed in preparing a comparative map of Eu rope, indicating the territorial mollifications in the various States since 1815, with the view to the proposal of a congress which should consider the question of a general disarmament. We opine that but little credence is to be placed in the statement. ' Up to the present time?' says the Preiue, "proposals to hold an international congress have resulted in precipitating war. It is to be feared that the same cause will produce the same effect, and for want of an agree ment, which seems to be impossible, an armed conflict will ensue. It would indeed be difficult to explain the real nature of the Uatuffuo after a diplomatic failure of such imptmanoe as this. TIIK APPROACHING EARTHQUAKE. —The New York Allan has some misgivings con cerning the California earthquake. It thinks it will oe the turn of New York, or tier haps the whole Atlantic coast, next. The clitor, as if with fear und trembling, asks: "Have we not been warned of approaching misfortune of the character to which we are referring? Undoubtedly. Not longer than two weeks ago two "smart" earthnuake shocks were fell in Yirgininia, and the chivalry became veritable quakes. If the American seaboard ever catches a blow of this kind.it will be an earnest one: and what if sueh a blow really impends? What if the vague hints and predictions of geologists and other men of scienee as to marvelous changes about, to take place on the globe be true? What if the theologists, who wrest from inspired prophecy the promise of a speedy destruction of sublunary goods and chattels, have aimed at one target and hit another? What if chaos is really to come again, and render all our plans and hopes and fame and wealth, and our struggle for aggrandizement nugatory and of no earihly account? The idea is pregnant with sugges live reflection. Let us take another week to it." TYPOGRAPHICAL. —The accomplished foreman of our news room department ap pears to have shaffled off the coil of single blessedness and furnished us a local item OB bis own accouut. It is an example worthy of emulation, and we trust ibat all thn re maining bachelors in the establishment will "follow copy" without unnecessary delay. The young couple in question have our best wishes for perpetual happiness und prosper ity. It is the wish ol bis fellow craftsmen that the bridegroom may always enjoy a "IHII case," a succession of "small caps," and never get "out. of sorts." and when, having abandoned his true honored "rule, rounded his final "period"—we behold his manly "form" stretched in "solid column' upon the cold "stone" of mortality—may his friends have the satis factum ol knowing that he escaped both "devil" and "hell box," every "error" having been corrected in the original "proof," and the compositor fullv prepared for inspection at the grand "revise."— Titusville Herald. PRUSSIA AND FRANCE.— Prussia still fears that a war with France is inevitable; and is looking in every direction for allies. Bismarck, it is reported, has been endeavor ing to induce the Emperor of Russia to re new the secret treaty of alliance with Prus sia, signed at Breslau in 1860. Alexander, however, while expressing his friendly in tention. declined to bind himself by a treaty. Prussia, meanwhile, is making every effort to strengthen her military forces. The number of the cavalry regiments is to be in creased, and fourteen new batteries are to be added to the horse artillery. General Von Moltke, who has just returned from a tour of inspection among the Rhine fortres ses, is about to make a similar tour in North Schleswig; and the South German Military Conference, now in session, of which Gen era! Beyer, late of the Prussian army, is a member, is expected to arrange for the more direct and efficacious control of Prus sia over the troops of South Germany. A WEDDING MISTAKE — A gentleman of New Haven ordered a wedding suit—among which was a white satin vest. On the bridal evening, as the clergyman was leaving the door, the gentleman took from a pocket of his vest, and slipped gracefully into the Parson's hand what be supposed was a $lO note that he had put there for the purpose. The honeymoon bad long passed, when the bridegroom bad occasion to don again, for a party, bis bridal vest—and putting hisfinger into a pocket, pulled out, to his great horror, the identical bank note which he supposed had months before gladdened the heart of the worthy curate. Great was the conster atioa of the parties! "What could he have given the parson on that occasion?" He ascertained, the next day, that he had given him a strip of satin, two or three incheslong. which the tailor had left in the pocket of the vest. Explanations, and a hearty laugh followed. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. SINCE the close of the late war the popula, tion of Missouri has increased tome 350,fKt0. Large bodies of emigrants are pouring iutc the western counties. FROM the present condition ofthe books of the Treasury Department it is estimated that the statement of the public debt for the pres ent month will show a reduction to the amount of nearly $4,600,000. EIGHT regiments and two battalions of in fantry, one regiment of rifles, seventeen batteries of artillery, numbering twelve thousand five hundred men, constitute the British forces now stationed in the Dominion of Canada. TRENTON, October 31.—The house of Dr. McKilby. in this city, was last night entered by burglars, who, after ransacking the premises, left, taking with them nineteen sl.- 000 first mortgage bonds of the Pacific Rail road. THE annual exhibit of the Postoffice De- I partment, it is said, will show an excess of , expenditures over the receipts of nearly ■ $7,000,000, notwithstanding the receipts ! during the present year exceed those of last i year in the sum of $1,200,000. THE Court of Appeals of Kentucky has re- J cently decided that the sale of a horse, to , be paid for on the election of certain candi dates, is a bet, and that no recovery can be obtained on an implied promise to pay a reasonable price for the animal within a reasonable time. THE Columbia iS. C.) Phoenix , being in want of funds, prints the following advertise tnent- "Wanted, at this office, an able-bodied hard-featured, bad tempered, not to be put off and not to be backed down, freckled faced young man to collect for this paper; must fur nish his own horse, saddlebags, pistols, whisky, bowie knife and cowhide. We will furnish the accounts. To such we promise constant and laborious employment. A CHARLESTON paper says. "Some little has been done during the present year to en courage the small farming system in the state and the success which has attended its intro duction in different localities will, it is hoped stimulate those who are already disposed in its favor, and convert those who. from con stitutional infirmity, remain its persistent op ponents." A METEOR of extraordinary size and bril liancy passed over Brandon, Wisconsin, on the evening of the 13th instant. Its course was from west-southwest to north-northeast, at an altitude of about nearly a mile, explod ing some three miles northeast ofthe place, giving out, on explosion, variegated colors such as white, red and purtile. not common in meteoric exhibitions of this kind. THE Cuban insurrection turns out no small matter. The revolutionists appear to exist in large numbers, and they have made their recklessness sufficiently apparent in the de struction of a town by fire, and in maintaining one or two fights with the Captain General's troops. They are not suppressed yet, and it may tax the authorities pretty severely to dispose of such a formidable organization. A CITIZEN of Woodstock, Vt., bought a farm last year for less than thirteen hundred dollars, and raised this year two thousand bushels of potatoes—about sixteen hundred of which were merchantable at fifty cents per bushel. He also secured fifty tons of hay and wintered seventy eight sheep, which also turned out well. He sold one hundred and ten dollars' worth of wool, besides what he reserved for his own use, sold one hundred dollars' worth of lambs, and kept fifteen for the fiotk. MRS. LCCY OSGOOD died at Mexico, Me., last week, aged one hundred years, eight months and eighteen days. At the time of her death she had living five children, twenty four grandchildren, forty-two great grand children, and two great great-grandchildren, being seventy-three in all. Each generation had its representative at her funeral. She had been, until within a few weeks preeeed ing her death, able to move about the house. Although nearly blind and quite deaf, she re tained her memory to a wonderful degree, and was a great talker. ST. LOVIB, October 30. —A Santa Fe, New Mexico, dispatch says: An important Indian expedition is now organized in this terri tory, which will soon start from Fort Bas comb, on the Canadian river, against the Indians committing depredations in Kansas and Colorado the past few months. The command will consist of six companies of the Third Cavalry, one or two .companies of the Thirty-seventh Infantry, together with between two or three hundred Utes and Apaches. The Indians are all under the command of Colonel Evans, of the Third Cavalry. On MONDAY the Government disbursed twenty seven million dollars of gold interest —the November interest on the Five-twenty Bonds of 1862 and 1866. On the coming Ist of January, it will disburse, as interest, thirty million more. There is now a reserve of about one hundred million* in the Treasury; and even after these heavy disbursements, the Government will be well supplied with coin. The New York Times says that the specula tors whose interest it is to keep gold up, are trembling in view of the heavy outflow of the next two months. A WASHINGTON correspondent of the New York Times reiterates hi* statement concern ing Gen. Kosccrans' intention not to proceed to Mexico. He says: That in conversation with a friend in New York a few days since, he admitted the certainty of Grant's election, and added that with Grant's inauguration his term of office as Minister to Mexico would undoubtedly cease. He subsequently said that it would bardly be worth while for bira to go to Mexico and be recalled so soon, and consequently he did not think he would go at all. Tun Commissioner of Internal Revenue has made the following important decision: Smoking and fine-cut chewing tobacco and snuff sold, or offered for sale, after January 1, 1869, and all o'her manufactured tobacco of every description sold or offered for sale after July 1, 1869, must be paid in stamped packages; and tobacco on hand after the re spective dates named, not in such packages, must be repacked to comply with the law by the owner thereof, The expenses of repack ing and stamping lax paid tobacco at those dates must be borne by the owners. Tne Duke of Nassau, Germany, recently purchased $2,000,000 of United States bonds. That looks as though he had confidence in our securities. American bonds are con tinually growing in popularity in Germany.

Perhaps no.one medicine ia ao universally re quired tj everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universally adopted into use, in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient pnrgative Pill. Tfce obvious reason :s, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedv than any other. Tboso whohtve us?d it, know that it cured theui; those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it does al ways—that it never fails through any fault or negleoi cf i(a composition. We have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, bat such cures are known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them Adapted to all ages and con ditions in all climates: containing neither calomel n : any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves theiu ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, wbtie being purely vegetable no barm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organ? of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the tirst origin of dis ease. Minute directions are giveu in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these Pills rapidly cure; For fry*prp*ia or Indigestion, Li*tU**ne*9, Lan yuor and Loe* of Appetite. they should betaken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liter Complaint and its various symptoms, HH'ou* Headache, Sick Hcudochc, .Jaundice or Green Sieknesa, Bilioue Colic and Bilioue Fereri, they should be judiciously taken for each ase, to correct the diseased action er remove the obstruc tion? which cause it For Dvnentery or /harrier, but one mild dose is generally required. For Bhtumatiem, (rout. Gravel, Palpitation oj the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins, they should be continuously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change these complaints disappear. For Prop* ry and Dropeical Swelling 9 they should be taken in large and frequent doses to produce the efleet of a drastic purge. For Snpp rent io wt a largo dose should betaken as it produces the degirod effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. , Dn. J. C.

The Chinese Government hating (through the Hon. ANION Burlingame) conceded to thi* Compa ny the privilege of connecting the great eeaporte of the Empire by submarine electric telegraph ca ble, tee propose commencing operations in China, and laying dotcn a line of nine hundred miles at once, between the following ports, cit : Population.

The cable being laid, this Company proposes erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and trustworthy means cf communication, which must command there, as everywhere else, the commu nications of the Government, of business, and of social life, especially in China. She has no pos tal system, and her only means now of communi cating information is by couriers on land, and by steamers on water. The Western World knows that China a very large country, in the main densely peopled; but a few yet realize that she contains more than a third of (be human race. The latest returns made to her central authorities for taxing purpo ses by the local magistrates make her population Four Hundred and Fourteen Millions, and this is more likely to be under than over the actual ag gregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old, not only can bat do read and write. Her civilization is peculiar, but her literature is as extorsive as that of Europe. China is a land of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every proffered facility for procuring early information. It is observed in California that the Chinese make great use of the telegraph, though it there trans mits messages in English alone. To day great □ umbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and nsed by tbem exclusively for the transmission of early intelligence. If the tele graph we propose, connecting all their great sea ports, were now in existence, it is believed that its business would pay the cost within the first two years of its sui cessful operation, and would steadily increase thereafter. No enterprise commends itself as a greater de gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole people. It is of a vast national importance com mercially, politically, and evangelically. The stock of this Company has been unquali fiedly recommended to capitalists and business men, as a desirable investment by editorial arti cles in the New York Herald, Tribunr, World, Times, Post, Express, Independent, and in the Philadelphia Sorth American, Press, Ledger, In quirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph. Shares of this Company, to a limited number, may be obtained at S6O each, $lO payable down, sls on the Ist of November, and $25 payable in monthly instalments of $2 50 each, commencing December 1, 1860, on application to DREXEL A CO., 34 South Third Street, Philadelphia.

A dressing which is it once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the Hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the yloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of ten. though not always, cured ny its use. Noth ing can restore tbe hair where the fallacies are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous, -its occasional nse will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dan gerous and injurious to tbe bair, the Vigor can only benefit but not barm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found o desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil whito cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful peri's—a. Prepared by. DR. J. C.
