At this writing, tho noise of the bat tle has just ceased, and tho smoko of tho contest has not yet cleared away.— Prom tho sounds of thunder heard all around the sky, it was evident that the Democracy were making a gallant light, althougli it is impossible to announce the result with any definiteness. What ever that result may be—whether it be tho last defeat or tho first victory—if matters but little to the future of the indomitable Democracy. If it bo de termined that the country must suffer four years more of uncertainty, turmoil and blood, the Democrats will bo as able to stand it ns their Republican neigh bors. If the people have decided that we are to have peace, a restored Union, and constitutional liberty, wc will call upon our Republican friends to rejoice with us that wc have saved them from themselves. If we arc to have four years more of war, it is reasonable to believe that tho Republican party will not loosen its hold on power, for it has grown great in feeding on the offal of the camp. If wc are to inaugurate a blessed reign of peace, amongst equal States, in a common Union, under a venerated Constitution, then it is fitting that the Democracy should be restored to power. 1 f the people are not yet sa ted with tho blood of their own country men, if they are determined to make freemen of slaves and slaves of freemen, if they are willing for another four years to give over one-third of the coun try to the rule of the sword, then wc freely admit that the hour of the De mocracy bus not yet come. The Demo cratic party want neither part nor lot in the hellish work. When men have regained their reason, and aro willing to come hack to the paths their fathers trod, it will then he time enough—if in deed it be not too late for the country— for the Democracy to rebuild what Northern and Southern traitors have been for eight years engaged in over throwing. Defeated or victorious, tho Democrat ic party has nothing to take hack, noth ing to. qualify, nothing to deny. Its candidates may he defeated, but its principles are always victorious. Men may change and pass away, but princi ples are eternal. Within four years, the Southern Stales will quietly revolution ize themselves, and assume their pro per places in the Union. Within four years the Radical party, if successful now, will have fully established its in competcncy to deal with the questions of the hour, and thus will have scaled its own doom. If its administration, proves no more successful than it has heretofore done, the arguments for a change of administration and of policy will be ten fold stronger then than they are now ; and these arguments will be addressed to men whose reason is no longer drowned by the thunders of ar tillery and the rattle of musketry.— Men and brethren, let us have patience. The Democratic party is no mere eph emeral organization, that it should grow ismaycu at a few temporary reverses.-- It has its foundations on the eternal principles of legal liberty, and ean well allbrd to wait until the fury of this rev olutionary epoch has spent itself. Many old veterans in our ranks will yet Jive to see the clay of her final triumph, and the youngest recruit, who east his first vote on Tuesday, will not outlive her power or her usefulness. Tfioman .IcHermm Itecol loci ions of (h< Aullior ol llu» Declaration ol' llMU'pClKll'tK'O. Professor Tutwiler, formerly of the University of Indiana, is writing for the Mobile Sunday Tlmrs, under the head of 14 Jeffersonians,” a series of articles in which are given many recollections of the great Virginia statesman. The following is the first of the series ; Every authentic anecdote relating to those who have acted a conspicuous part in their country’s history is worthy of preservation. A few personal reminiscen ces of Mr. Jefferson may be interesting to your readers, I was a student at the University of Virginia during the latter years of Mr. Jefferson’s life, and at the time of his death. His deep devotion to this child of his old age, is known to all. Indeed, one of his claims to the lasting gratitude of his countrymen is based upon this institution. This is shown by the inscription, prepared by himself, and by his direction placed upon his monu ment; “Here was buried Thomas Jef ferson, author of the Declaration of .In dependence, of the Statue of Virginia for .Religious Freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia." In the summer and autumn of ISlio Mr. Jell'erson was in the habit of making frequent visits to the University, about lour miles from Mon ticello, and he generally came on horse back, unattended. He was then eighty two years of age. I’well remember the first time I saw him. 1 was in the Proc tor's ollico, when a tall, venerable gentle men, plainly dressed, entered the room in a quiet, unobtrusive manner, and took a seat in one corner. Mr. Brockenbrough the Procter, was busy at the time and did not observe his entrance. I thought that it was a plain country farmer who had called to see the Procter on business, but a fellow student- who was with me, and who had seen Mr. Jefferson before, took occasion, in a private way, to let me know who it was, and 1 then observed him more closely. I thought that I had never seen a countenance that exhibited more of the kindliest feelings of the heart. Afterward U saw him frequently riding along the Eastern Range, as it was called, on which I had a room, sometimes on horseback, and once or twice in a landau, accompanied by his grandaughters. It was the first time that I had ever seen a vehicle of the kind where the driver rode one of the horses, and it excited my boy ish curiosity. It was, I believe brought by him from France. A Good Joke on llniler. A friend in this city has made us ac quainted with a good Joke on Butler, the Beast, as received directly from the gentleman, whose fun-loving children were the cause of this merriment, The gentleman relating the joke lived but a lew doors from Butler in Washington city during the late session of Congress. Ihe Beast had a little poodle dog, of which he was exceedingly fond and particularly careful to keep always in the house. The children of his neigh bor were for sometime anxious to get hold of this dog. One day they finally succeeded in enticing it from its retreat on Butler’s premises. Taking it up tenderly they carried it homo and took good care to guard against its escape. When Butler returned ho discovered the absence of his pet. The household was aroused and the servants sent hith er and thither through the streets in eager search of the dog. But it is need less to say that they were unable to lind it. Finally Butler himself stood direct ly in front of the gentleman’s house and the children, who in the meantime had attached in every conceivable manner a quantity of pewter spoons to the dog, released it from captivity. Straight it flew to its master, jumping upon him in the excess of delight, and rattling the spoons with a terrible dip. The Beast’s mortification was indescribable, and fresh laurels were added from that day to hisjspoonyrepudiation.— MV. Journal, i [From thoOEThlbodnax (La.) Sentinel.] A Grand Farce—A Carpet-Bagger In Pur suit of Oflicc. One of the most complete farces that ever occured in a civilized community was enacted in this town on last Tuesday. One Francis Sternberg, who came hero under the auspicss of that institution of civilization called tho Freedmon’s Bu reau, who swore that ho was a citizen o the United States before ho was naturali zed, and-was elected Sheriff of thN par ish at tho last election by that portion of tho voters whom tho Radicals imagine are alone capable of wisely selecting ru lers over this land, has been knocking at the door of the Sheriff’s otllco for about four months, in a vain effort to get pos session of that oflicc. Tho principal dif ficulty in the way of this humane indi vidual, who is so very solicitous about ’’regulating the internal police of this par ish, has consisted in his inability to pro cure proper bonds. That model of wis dom, the Legislature of Louisiana, pass ed a special law to enable all such unfor tunate beings to procure bonds in any portion of the State, instead of requiring the sureties to be property holders in tho parish in which the offices is situated, as has always been tho case heretofore. — Colonel Lagarde, thepresent Sheriff, has always been ready and willing to turn over tho office to Sternberg, whenever ho would present tho proper bonds, made and signed according to exisiing laws. — These bonds have never been produced. Wearied of being annoyed almost daily, Colonel Lagarde some time since explain ed to him the deficiency of .his bonds, and after having legal and proper ones made out by a lawyer of this place, the parties refused to attach their signatures to them. Our Sheriff, so-called, was thus left in the lurch by his pretended friends, who were ready to aid him in any schemes of rascality, but tho moment, they found him staggering into the paths of honesty they gave him the cold shoul der. A last remedy was tried and that consisted of a mandamus before the Dis trict Court, over which that shining and brilliant light in the judiciary firmament, Henry Train, presides as Judge* By tho way, a law of the Legislature required all officers elect to qualify within thirty days from date of their commission, vacancies to bo filled by tho Governor, by ami with he advice and consent of the Senate.— This period having passed, 'Governor Warmouth appointed Sternberg to fill the vacancy occasioned by his failure to .-qualify, but said appointment was not confirmed and no evidence was produced lo show that tho nomination was ever sent to the Semite, which is, and has been in session all the time. The suit was en tered, tho mandamus was never served upon Colonel Lagrade, and the copy of the petition served upon this gentlemen did not bear the seal of the State. The judge overruled tho exception, that Stern berg should be confirmed by the Senate. But the most original proceedings consist ed in tins fact: Lagarde refused to give up tho office on account of tho inability of Sternberg to produce legal and binding bonds, and for no other reason whatever. The plaintiff never introduced his bonds, nor any evidence to prove them good and sufficient. Vet Judge Train decides that the bonds were sufficient, and gave judg ment in favor of plaintiff*. Said jmlg menf being in manuscript of abopt four pages of foolscap, and delivered as soon as thearguments were closed, which proved that his Honor was a swift penman.— We think that this decision will procure the learned Judge a reputation us a ju rist that will cause the shades of Martin, Eustis, Rost, I’reston and others who long since filled tbebeuchoa qf our courts, to rise from their silent tombs in aston ishment and wonder. Colonel Lagarde took an appeal to tho Supreme Court, whore we leave the subject for tho pres ent. [From (he Gahcilon Bulletin,] JLonl Slater Found— \ f'liild Stolen Twenty- Five Years Abo. One of the strangest incidents of do mestic life that ever came under our no tice occured on Tuesday of the present week. The story is thus told: Mrs. Bowen is a widow, forty-one years old, whose husband died last year of yellow fever. Thirty years ago, being then only eleven years old, ami a resident of Comanche county, Ala bama, her eldest sister married ami re moved to another portion of the same State. The marriage was unhappy ; the husband was unkind. The only child of this marriage was a daughter who was .stolen from school, and seems to have been reared in almost total ignorance of her family. All that we know of the child is that she is now a lady of twenty nine years, and resides in her native Slate. About a year since, Judge Dean, of Balls, Dean A Watson, received a let ter from this lady, saying thalshe believ ed her aunt resided in Galveston, and that she desired to know of her where abouts. After inquiring he found the missing aunt to be Mrs. Bowen. The la dies were put in communication, and the one in Alabama assured that her mother, from whom she had been stolen, was dead. Thus the matter rested until last Tuesday, when a Mrs. Martin, at thoaug ge-lion of a mutual friend, was introdu ced to and visited Mrs. Bowen. During the conversation that followed it became plain that they were sisters, and that Mrs, Martin was the mother of the Alabama lady that was stolen twenty-five years since. Thus the two met and were rec ognized after an absence of thirty years, with never a strawberry mark outlie left arm of either. One sister has been a resi dent of Galveston fourteen years and the other eight. Both are happy in the meet ing and in the prospect of soon seeing the daughter of one and the niece of the other. Fanatical of a C'lillU. Mary .Swingler was on Saturday sen tenced at Rochester, X. Y., to six months imprisonment for having, a few months’ burned the hands of her adopted daugh ter, seven years of age, by holding them over the stove. The Rochester Union says : It was alleged by the prisoner, it will be remembered when in the Police Court, that the little girl hud stolen a piece of candy, and it was to deter her from com mitting further thefts that she punished her in the manner she did. By roasting the little one’s hands over the stove she said she intended to give her an idea of what hell is, a place to which she would surely go if she stole any more. A per son would naturally suppose that a wo man who woul'i inflict such adaeadful punishment on a little child is a very she devil, but Mrs. S* is not to be placed in that category. She thought it her duty to punish the child to savo its soul from perdition, and nothing could so well con vey her idea of pereditlou to the little one’s tender mind as roasting its hands over a “young hell,” the withering fire of a cooking stove. The exclamations of the little girl—“ Oh I mother, it hurts !” "Oh! mother, it hurts awfully!”—and the noises of the crackling flesh, did not make the woman desist, and the inter ference of neighbors only prevented her from inflicting injuries which would doubtless have proved permanent. But few women in this city have a more be nevolent and peaceful looking counte nance than hers. We are not quite sure that Mrs. Bwinglerisof entirely sound mind.

The former lie I.USI miles North of Port Elizabeth, Algoa, Bay, or 1,300 miles North-east of Cape Town, and the latter some 2)0 miles farther North. They are from 300 to -lot) miles Westof the Eastern coast < f Africa, the Southern gold region lying on the Northern field near the Zambesi River. The routefrom Cape Town leads North east through the centre of Cape Colony, over whose borders it passes, where the Vnal falls into the Orange River ; thence Northeast, skimming the Western bor ders of the Boer, or I'uleh republics of Grange and Transvaal, nnlil il strikes the Northern forks of the Tati River, an abluent of the Limpopo River.

And why Is this?

The Latest Novelties.—The tartans in cloth and poplin exhibit the most bril liant colors, while (ho rich embroidered and changeable silks, ami self-colored cashmeres, Saxony cloths, and plain Ir ish poplins displays tints which rival every tint in flower or rainbow. Black velvet suits, black silk richly embroidered in colors, black poplin also embroidered in brocaded flowers and leaves, and black cashmere enriched with superb India shawl patterns, constitute the fabrics par excellence of the season. In self colors, a new bright garnet and green predominate, and these are favor ites in empress and Saxony cloths, in French merinocs, and all wool rep goods. In silks, everything is changeable, the rich colors blended closely into the (hick ground-work, and forming a ribbed, sati ny surface, which has a superb set. Winceys and water-proof cloth, of which latter we have now a variety, in new colors and mixtures, called “Eng lish” water-proof, are reserved mainly for winter walking suits, for which they are especially adapted. Knotted silk fringe has taken the place of lace, to n great extent, in the trim mings of rich silk, satin and poplin dres ses, and is very effective though less rich, and not so permanently valuable. It is principally used upon the waist and sleeves, Effect or Tojjacco on Boys.— Dr. Decaisno, while engaged in investigating tiie influence of tobacco on the circulato ry system, had his attention called to the large number of boys between the ages of 9 and 15 years who were addicted to smo king.

Thirty-two had various dis orders of circulation; bruit dc souJJIg in the neck, disordered digestion, palpita tion, slowness of intellect, and more or less taste for strong drinks. Eight show ed a diminution of the red corpuscules of the blood; three had intermitent pulse; twelve quite frequent epituxis ; ten disor dered sleep; and four ulceration of the mucous membrane of the mouth. Winter— Help tub Poou.—There is a prospect of an early and severe winter —one of the “old fashioned” seasons which, after all, are the healthiest and best. Heavy frosts have already appear ed in several parts of the country. Even in the South they are having what they call cold weather, and are anticipating a speedy freeze- In view of these proba bilities, the people should be looking ahead, and seeing what can be done to ward modifying the condition of the poor. Poverty is fearful to be borne at even the most favorable seasons; but in Litter winter, its blighting gpld is in tensely aggravated.

AN AUTUMN JOY. OUlt BOOK TABLE. “ The War between the States—lts Causes, Charmin', Conduct, and Results—" Volume I. Ahk.xa.s 3)EU il. STmiENSAlVartojial Publishing Compa ny, Philadelphia, The name of tho distinguished au thor of this book is enough to secure it a large sale, and the candid yet earnest manner in which the great question of our civil war is presented bespeaks an impartial hearing. It is not so much a history of our great struggle, as it is a philosophical disquisition upon that history. The author himself says: “In tho prosecution of tho design of the writer, it has not been his purpose to treat at ail of men or thoir actions, civ il or military, further than they relate to, or bear upon, those principles which are involved in tho subject under con sideration. Principles constitute tho subject matter of this work.” Again ho says, “ The design is not so much to present any portion of" American histo ry, as it is, by historical analysis, to show what arc tho principles embodied in those systems of government estab lished by tho Anglo-Saxons on this con tinent, and to illustrate their singular ly happy adaptation, so long as adhered to, to tho situation and character of the North American States.” The author is singularly happy in tho method of his work. Ho lias adopted tire colloqui al sly'e, in which the questions arising out of uiir civil war are discussed by Mr. Stephens, representing the South ern vie. v ; Judge iiynuin, of Massachu setts, representing the radical branch ol the Republican parly; Professor rv'orlon,- rt presenting t-iie conservative i tepnblicans ; and Major iiiester, from Pennsylvania, representing the North ern Democracy. The arguments on cither side are presented with force and eealniess, and with singular fairness and honesty. It is an abler and more reliable work Ilian Greeley’s'” Grad Uebellion," in Unit it is not written in the interest of party, but is a truthful exposition of Hie views of all parlies and sections in regard to the objects and character of the war. Tho prominent position which Mr. Stephens held for ninny years in our American polities, his noble resistance to the folly and madness of Secession, and his subse quent elevation lo the second place in the Confederacy, render him eminently fitted for a discussion such as this. Re speaks whereof he knows and testifies that which he has seen, and no Ameri can gentlemen who desires to he accu rately informed in regard to the causes, character, conduct and results of the late war, should be without this admi rable and'impartinl work.

Byran is now canvass ing this locality for subscribers to an interesting and valuable work entitled “ our Rulers and one Rights, or outlines of the United States Government.” — The structure and functions of every department of the government arc lu cidly set forth. In their appropriate places will be found the names, dates, terms of service, and compensation of all the Presidents, Vice Presidents, Cabi net Officers, Chief, and Associate Jus tices of the Supreme Court, from the organization of the government to the present incumbents. It gives the names of every candidate for President, and Vice President, with the votes cast for each, and the result from the beginning to the present time. It gives the name, date, and time of every Senator from every State. It has the coat of arms of every State, with the leading events iu its history ; with the area, population, It treats of every subject in any way connected with the legislative, judicial, and execu tive departments of the Federal Gov ernment. From it the tax-payer learns for what and to whom his mon ey is paid; how the money Is raised and for what expended. From it we learn our prerogatives as citizens, and the restrictions placed upon our Rulers. It tells of the office, the office-holder, and his duties, the citizen and his rights. It also contains for ready reference a very complete historical compendium of the principal events in our national career. As a book of reference for the library, and of every day utility, it is unsurpassed by any work of its size ex tant. Heavy Mortgages.—A Western pa per records that a mortgage wls recently recorded for §2,800,01)0, and stamped with government stamps amounting to.s2,»S ( )i). This is nothing. A mortgage was re cently recorded in the Recorder’s cilice of this county for $0,01)0,000 against the Northern Central Rail Road, and con tained stamps amounting toSO,OQQ; and an exchange notices that a mortgage up pon the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal wils recently recorded at Richmond, Va., which contained $lO,OOO of government stamps. Mountain on Fire.—On Friday eve ning last, a largo fire was visible on the North mountain, near the Carlisle Springs. The ruin'on Saturday seemed to drown it out most effectually. Wo have not learned the extent of the dam age done. Attention!—A meeting of the White Boys in Blue will bo held this (Thursday) evening, at Head Quarters, Wetzel’s Hall, at 7 o’clock, for the’purposo of fur thering the formation of a volunteer com pany. A full turn out is expected. Religious. —Rev. Dr. Davidson will preach a sermon to young men, in the second Presbyterian, on next sabbath oveulugj at seven o’clock* [For the Volunteer. Messrs. Editors:— This was a rte li. hLliil evening, the moon shone bnght- Iv’ not a cloud was to be seen, and the brilliancy of the moon’s rays made dri ving pleasant. Our drive was but a few miles to Filo Hall school room, whore wo found a large crowd of per sons had gathered together lor the pur pose of spending the, evening pleasantly and having a talk with old friends. Thisalonelime-wasan old houso known bv the name of Mount Hope, but. has been rebuilt since harvest, and it has always been customary heretofore to change the name. The above is a very desirable, and, I think, a very suitable one; it was proposed by one of our wor thy citizens of the district, and I hope will soon come Into general use and the old name rejected altogether. The house is large and is intended to bo used for holding meetings as well ns school ■and singing; it is well suited to either. A largo “ Morning Glory” stove makes the houso comfortable, and it only re quires to be filled with coal once a day, and \yill. keep up a regular degree of heat without re-kindling for an entire' season ; it is a stove well suited for a school room, and-in my opinion there is no better. The terfri of Mr,’, Lutz’s sing- ing at the Pine Church hairing expired some time ago, the class being fully satisfied with the instructions given by the gentleman, put forth their united efforts and succeeded in raising another school for a term of six months, to com mence as soon as the how houso would be really to occupy. Previous to this the chws held a social meeting in the church and spent the evening pleasant ly in si"gingand discussing the many advantages to bo derived from the stu dy ol m lisle, and I am glad to see them taking mi great an interest in the cora- ng M'ssion. They have headed the ansa and new scholars arc* still placing their names on llie liat who ar.e anx ious (o cultivate their taste lor music. In this branch the young ladies and genth men of Dickinson have too long icplecb d. Why is it that there is so ilile interest taken in the singing in the rhu; i ll V Simply because* there nev er was it interest maniftsled insinging school*. The day lias come, and all pr'soi's are now Hilly aware ot the ma ny advantages lo be derived from this stuoy ; they are coming in and joining us from all parts of the district. Our object is to improve, and my word for it, many will unite with us in singing in the church who never knew what music was until they had been instruc ted by our professor. It. was given out one work ago that there would be a so cial meeting of the cbw. for the pur- pose of organising lor a new term. They met; the house was Idled with visitors. Mr. Lutz called the meeting lo order, slated its object and called the roll. It wis found the class numbered forty scholars, most of them being pre sent. The professor explained the lirst rudiments of music, ami stated that it was Ids whole object to have them com mence at tite foundation of this impor tant branch, and understand it as they pass ab ng over the pages of the book. After a short recess the class proceeded to elect the necessary olUcers, alter which the school adjourned to meet at Filo-llall, Thursday evening, fsov. olh. The success ’has already been made affords the most satisfactory rea son that greater success awaits the com ing term, which can and will be gained by study and perseverance. The wri ter returns his thanks to Mr. Wm. Mar tin, for the active part he took in get ting the singing raided and placing it on a lirm foundation. Wishing the class success in the study I will close for the present. A Friend. Dickinson Township, 1 October 211,18G5. / Croquet. —The Jria/i Parmer's Gazette, quoting Cassell’s Kcw Popular Educator , says that the game of croquet, although in some respects new, is little more than an old game revived. It used to be played by the ancient Gauls so univer sally that the greater portion of the prom enades adjoining large towns consisted each of a long alley called the mail— the name of the game being,yew dc mail. The later Ficnch received it from their ances- the Gauls, and it was introduced In to f£nglaml by Charles 11., at the time of the Hestoration, after his return from his sojourn in France. The long avenue in front of Buckingham Palace, called the “Mail,” or “Mail,” derived its name from this game, which was played there. “ Locals.”—Our patrous are doubtless glad the election is over, and so are we.

The police made a descent upon them, but the soldiers deemed “ discretion the bet ter part of valor” and took to their heels. The police gave chase and captured one or two, who were handed over to the au thorities. If these disorderly men who have recently been disturbing the peace, are not kept within their proper limits, we trust the police will keep uu eye on them whenever they come to town. Digging fok Coal.—We understand that umnistakeablo evidences of coal have been discovered in .Mifllin town ship, and that a company lias been or ganized to give the subject a thorough investigation. It will bo a great thing for the Cumberland Valley if coal is dis covered along the North mountain, so near to the Iron beds on our Southern border, and we trust the investigation now' being made will bo so thorough us to settle forever Iheque-'llon of coal in Cum berland county. j&Tf The King of Bavaria kindly permit ted Dr. J.
