Illinois for Dnclmnnn I After a long period cf doubt and rotftty con s fliciing reports, it seems now clearly ascertain ed that litis Slate lias cost her electoral vote for Jamks BuchaUAN. The Block Republican rejoicings over the overthrow of “the Douglas, in his hall” appear to hove been premature and the State of the Little Giant looms up proudly in the Democratic column. The bat tle in Illinois, as in Pennsylvania, was of the most desperate and animated nature, but her Democracy made a most gallant fight, and their success will add new earnestness to the general rejoicing over the grand victory we have gained. Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California, give us 62 out of 1 the 170 electoral votes of the non-slavcholding j States. Ohio and New York, with their CO i electoral votes, have each given majorities of their popular vole against Fremont —so that, after all the boastings of his friends, he carries bv a clear majority but 54 electoral votes ; and is in a minority in the Union of upwards of a million of votes. The returns from at! the counties in Illinois except St. Cluir, Wayne, Edward, and Craw ford, are in. Buchanan’s plurality is 6055, and BissePrf (for Governor) 7733. St. Clair county will give a Republican majority, and the others Democratic. A majority of the members of Congress elected arc Democrats. The legislature is also Democratic. The house will stand 37 Democrats, 29 Republicans, 5 Fihnorcilcs. and the Democrats have ono mn jonty in the Senate. To the Ci-erot.— Fremont being dead and buried, now let ns have the “stated preaching of the gospel” ofccc more—real gospel—not ac cording in Kansas, but according to those true apostles of real freedom, Matthew, Mark, Luko and John. No more campaign documents in onr pews—give ns the Bible, King James’ ver sion, just for a novelty.— N. Y. Exprtat. There is a sharp satire In the above—and there are hundreds of Protestant clergymen who will not fail lo fuel it. Tho Philadelphia Evening Jirgua says : The North is full ol them. That (hey are all good and Inio men In their calling, wo am not at liheity to doubt for a moment; but under sliuiig temptations ami a strange delusion, | they have (or months past made their pulpits and their churches mere rooms for political meetings and polilic.il stump speeches. There are many honorable exceptions—many bright exceptions —and wo doubt not that when tho “ madness of the hour” has passed, and calm, ness and reason regain their influence, those who have forgotten their -‘holy calling” and Mimed political apostles, will lie ashamed of what tliey have done—aye, humiliated—and will repent of what they have done. Fremont ron Lf. S. Senator. —The Syracuse Journal, with a flourish, takes ground for John C. Fremont, as the successor of Mr. Fish in the U. S. Senate. It is understood that Hus is in accordance with Weed & Seward’s policy, for Fieniunt is just the nmn to play dummy to Sew ard, who, if ho can prevent it, will not petmita first class nia»4« bike a seat with him in tho Semite. Beside*, in this way run Fremont ho disposed of for 1800, leaiing the track clear for Seward. Nkuhoks not Citizens.—ln answer to 11.

This boy had on the day previous killed n ground-hog, and carry ing or skinning the same got some blood on his clothes. Not having changed his clothes, the bear, probably excited by tho scent of the blood, lay hold of him around the body and squeezed him until his ribs were broken, then knocked him down with his paw, and cat very nearly nil the flesh oil his face and legs before ho was dead.

We ask candid and intelligent men to reflect for one moment, upon the striking- contrast which the two largo cities. Philadelphia and New York, where the Democrats gave such overwhelming majorities, and the strong holds of Know-Net hingisin, Baltimore and New Or leans In the two former, the Democrats have the control nf lire police force, in the latter dial force is mibrctvicnt to Know Nothing misrule. In die two former cities, every person legally enlilted lo lote. w,is allowed to do so without hindrance or molestation ; m the tiro latter cit ■cs legal volcrs were d-iven from the pol.s and thousands were prevented from voting, hi threats, violence and intimidation.

We think it was lime fora “A igilnnce Commit tee.” The statement we find in a pamphlet recently published in San Francisco, in the following extract: “Taking a portion of the notices of murders that have bicn published since 1852. and the other evidences that we have on record and pre vious to that lime and since, it will be seen that the number of those who have met an id timely end by murder, is truly appaling. The District Attorney of Son Francisco, in 1852, stated, in n public spctch that for the previous four years twelve hundred murders had been committed m the city of San Francisco." Any one conversant wiili the history of the “Great Pacific Emporium” since that lime, will readily agree that crime has not diminish ed with thoinercaseof population. It was sta led on or mar the close of Ihe year 1855. by the public press, that for the year just past, five hundred murders h.ul been brought to their notice. Thu compiler of this work feels perfectly safe in saying that not less than five ihousnnd murders have l^ccncommitted hi Cal ifornia within the last six ytars. I will also i here mention, that from the examination of the 1 uld files of daily papers jR appears that the a.c ' cidental deaths have no*fc been less in number than those by murder for the same lime.

For the Volunteer* , 1 A FLYINO VISIT TO CARUSIE. ; After an absence of thirty-six years from Carlisle, I recently paid ft very brief visit of a few hours, to that ancient Borough, and some few of its dear old citizens. 0! how changed and altered arc most of the men, places and things! As was my visit, so must necessarily bo the present hurried sketch—brief. T arrived by the Rail. Road, about noon stopped at the flue Hotel where the cars halted —obtained a comfortable dinner —and then, without recognizing a single individual, walked up to Dickinson College, where I was most kindly received by the very gentlemanly Pro fessor of Mathematics, who politely* gave mo some interesting reminiscences of that celebra ted Institution, which (the Edifice) had been burnt in 1804, and rc built in IHos—if I mis* take not. I believe it was the day of opening a new Session, as I observed quite a large num ber of very lino young gentlemen, from the I ages, I should say, of 15 up to 25 years, all I apparently students, who had just arrived in l it '-' cars, wending their way blithely to the College. . . _ ... I next passed down what I think is your Main street. wbero-on the South side of that street—l saw a gentleman in an qllico, with pen in hand and a large book before him, whom I naturally took for a magistrate and accord ing y accosted him os such—endeavoring to collect a little local newa-wlien be good-bn moredly informed me that his was merely _a Call Office, &c. Tims foiled in mj first at tempt at gathering Imlrn -tion, I Hastened down to the Court House, and, Itoubhcan like entered without first sending in my <lart j ® r otherwise announcing myself to the pHk..' I * B within. To iho credit of the jncumbcnls. J was received in a most friendly manner by nil with whom I came in contact; and Mr. Wise, the gentlemanly Olerk in the Commissioner’s Olfice, in the most handsome manner, conduct ed me over the building, giving me a short but hitcresting history nf the edifice and some of its nflic.ini oceu pun's. Most, if not all of those, who 36 years ago played an important part up on the public sla e are now dead! Alas! I met but fe«—a 'cry few. indetd whom I had once known ns active men. with high nspim lions and buoyant hopes of a long future. Bui where arc they now ? I regret, very much. I could not see my old friend. Mr. Pinup Qrio i.ky, who had. through Mr. Wish, expressed a wish to see me. An interview with him, therefore, and wish some others, iWimn / couhl not see, is a pleasing sntisfnclion in icservc for us for the future—if God phase.

I was exceedingly glad to see him, and am only sorry I could not prolong my interview with him. Al his olllce I also saw. nnd conversed a few minutes, with Mr. Jacob Shuom. whom I hnd also known in nuld lung sync, and who looked remarkably well. I also saw my friend. Sir. Jamks Loudon’.
