Wednesday, Noy. 4 —1:! Mid night.—This has been the proudt st even iug all the history of Galena. The city, lwretothre Democratic, yesterday gave a majority fin• lifr distinguished citizen, Gen. S.

This magnificent result, together with the triumphant elec tion of ( hffleral (haunt, was celebrated here this evening by it grand torfidight proces sion, bonfires, illtuninations, and other demonstrations of joy. The Galena Tan ners, with two bands of music and It pro cession of' citizens numbering several thou sand, marchefl to the residence of General ( ;rant, infront of which a splendid display of fireworks was sent up, after which three rousing cheers were giVetl for the President elect.

GENERAL GRANT. HON. EDWARD M'PHERSON, Clerk of the C►dted States house of Representatives. NASBY. Presidential Eleetion—The News Reaches Kentucky—The X Roads in Mourning. POST OEMs, CONFEDIUT X ROADS (Wich is in the State uv Kentucky.) N()v. 5, I.so. Bad news travels fast. We hey heerd from motif of the States to know that till' butcher Grant—he wick wunst atbre stood in 11m way of the Confederacy—her been elected Pr4.si dent, and that Seymour and Blare, our glori ous standard bearers, hey been deb ated ignominiously. 'lids ends it! This finishes it! There is no longer hope for Dimocrisy. Our star is sot in gloom. Never steel I forgit the ghastly appearance of Deekin Pogrom's taco, e 7, the fatal nooze was told him. A single tear rolled from his left eye, down his furrowed cheek—it glittered for a brief moment on the tip uv his brillyant nose, and plunged oll• into space! How like our hopes! Never a word sed he, but sadly beckoned me to fuller. Sadly he walked to the square, nniurnlnlly he pulled down the Confederit flag which hez waved from the pole in front of Bascom's, tenderly he folded it, and placed it limier the barl uv whisky in the ba•. " Thar let it rest," gasped he in a husky tone, "it will never kiss the breezes no more." And over come with emoshun, the good old man bursted into a flood uv teers, with saved his life. The drain uv moisture from his system made it necessary for him to take suthin to fill its place, and that sutLia wuz strength min. To save him I took sothin strength enin too. And Ben Butler is elected. That excel lent convcrvative Richard 11. Dana, who Las forgotten that ruffled shirts went out of date 20 yeers ago, and who still reads the 1Vit.414- n,el Intelligeneer sposin it to be a Whig paper, is defeated, aml Butler, who wunst hung a Demokrat in Noo Orleens, and who wood do that same every miirnin to give Lint all appetite, is fastened onto this here wunst happy but now distracted county fur two yeers more. Grashus 11evins send the yaller fever b) the Corners now, and finish us up to wunst. I won't say a word ez to the cause uv this terrible defeat. Seymour would make speeches, with hez alluz bin fatle to Presi denshul aspirants, and Blare would write terrible letters, wich is just ez bad. Besides, Blare fairly represents us, wich drily off all decent people, and Seymour rather prides hisself on bein a gentleman, wich chilled the ardor of our own patty. The nomina shells were untbrchnit, but don't reproah 'cm. It's fate. I sigh, Deekin Pogram sighs, and the rest of our cirldc wood sigh, only they heven't returned from Injeany, where they hey gone to vote in the interest of the Constitooshen, and to aid in the maintainanee ny the laws. sigh! I hey reason to sigh. For Pollock will git the Post OEN after all. Tho his hands are contaminated by bein taken into the bands uv niggers—his hands wieh handles hanker and draws molasses, and is consequently degraded by earnin his own livin—his hands will pass out to Deekin Pogrant the paper whit the Corners takes! The Deekin, ez he thought uv this, bust into leers agin. "I she] stop that riper," sez he, "and the Corners stud go hack into the darknis uv ignorance. I slid never agin go tin• a letter—nor will I ever hey one written liu• Inc to anybody. When a Ablishn fac.. is at the general delivery, I shot stop pater nizin the Post 011 is!" Will the now Adminislration deprive a whole community tw ft paper inertly to give one uv its supporters a posislum? We steel Ilut , I cookl entl(mr the loss of lily posishen —for prinsiple I kin look inatertlom squarely ill the face—hut I see other and more terri ble results Ibllowin this, catastrophe. \Vat uv the niggers? \Vat uv us? e steel hey at our poles, all OW the black cusses who live between here and Garrett stow'', a votin ez regler ez though they white men. We suet hey cm detilin the sacred ballot-box ez Ow they WU% not uv a cussed race. I see dark lines atitre our poor State. They will hereafter hold the land wick they hey bought, and they will increase and multiply. Pollock will buy their prodoose and they will work and get money. This money they will lend to us—for we must hey it to sustain lite— and they will take mortgages onto our land. ( When I say 0 r, I mean Deekin Pograin and skit.) Ez we never work ourselves, and will not hey, under the present arrange ment, the means uv et unpellin the labor necessary to our support, we kin never pay; and the result will be, this beautiful land uv ()urn, wich we so deerly love, will pass out try the hands uy the stronger and better race into the control uv a weaker and less power ful people. The Deekin was remarkin suthin tti this effect, when .toe Bigler miliaria in reply, that the Deekin bed better throw himself onto the sympathy of his sons. a. Why, they can't work any more than I kin," sed the Deekin. '• I don't mean your poor white sons !" sed this terrible Bigler. Thaw ain't uy 110 iikkolllll. But in the nigger settlement at ;arrettst own, you hey more than twenty who wood—" The poor Deekin rushed out ov the room, while Bigler loft his most feendish latt The people will be deprived uv their inno cent amoosements. l'his Grant will send on armed hirelins, clothed in ojus 11100, With muskets and Bich, who will prevent our shootin niggers, and who will pertect on titer farms and in ther shops the ojus Notherners Who have settled in our midst. We slid see the gellorious Southern system decline shrilly and shoofly. The whippin posts will rot, and the stox will decay—the yelp uv dor!.fs \vill no more be heerd, and the cheer ful crack tiv the pistol and the shreek uv the man what has got his gruel, will no more be beerd in all the land. Bascom, after he 11Cz the fi'w Nrms still unmortgaged in the visin it y, will close and go to Looisville, and em hark into a wholesale grocery trade and jine the church, and give li brolly to tinnily skools; his groscry will full into decay, and the sine will hang by one hinge. We shel see churches and shoolhouses, factrys and villages everywhere. The Popgram place uv 2,000 akers will be divided up into twenty frms, and on them farms will be the bustlin Nio Yorker, the cool, calculatin Yankee, the stiddy, hard-workin German—who will display his grovelin nacher by workin him self, inst id of forcin niggers to do it for him. We shel he run over with skoolmarms, del uged with academies, plastered over with noosepapers, stunned with machinery, drove crazy by the whirr, crash and clash uv mow in machines and reapers. And there will be cheese made at the Corners. Pennibacker's distillery will be turned into a cheese factry, and weak whey will run wher now the genrous high wines flash along the troughs. Titer will be no rectifyin at the Corners— the hog pens will be abolished, and in titer stet will lie skool houses. And methinks I see in my mind's eye, Horasho, the sperit, lite ghost tiv the departed Pogram, (for he wont survive it long,) a hoverin over the scene, ez llamlick's hither did. The blessid shade will look in vain tOr his house—on the spot w her it stood will be an academy. He will turn to Bascom's, but titer he will find a deestrick skule. "To Pennibackers!" he will gasp in a sperit whisper, and with a speritooal smack uv his speritooal lips lie will hover over it, but the smell UV cheese in the place uv the strengthin odors in which lie delites, will send a speritooal shudder thro him. A gost uv a tear will run down his speritooal nose, linger for a minnit at the tip like a dew drop on the rose, and fall ! Then will the dissatisfied gost demand to be taken back to purgatory, a place less tryin to his nerves. Deckin Popgram llcz only britont'd up wunst. thot flashed over his mind wielt gave him eaufort fin• a minnit. "Isn't titer a Booth for Grant ez ther WU. for Lipkin ? " askt he. " Ali !" sed I in alarm, " wood you kill Grant to hey Colfax in his place ? We mite kill Colfax, say you. Alars ! sposn they'd elect Sunnier cr. President uv the Senit. Kill Sumner ? Good Lord, no ! They'd then elect Butler Speaker uv the House, and he can't be killed. No ! No ! We lied better bear the ills we hey, than to fly to them we know not uv. Its gone. All is up with me and us. I shel stay in Kentucky fir the present, tho wat may become uv me the Lord only knows. PETROLEUM V. NASBY, P. M., is Postmaster.) THE DUTCH JUDGE'S DECISION.

Hans has been dried for murder pefore you, and you must pring in der verdick, but it must pe cordin to der law.

I dirk, Mr. Voretuans, dat he peller pet next fouri of July, as tier militia ish going to drain in anoder county and der would be no vtut goin on here. A NtAN coming home late one night, a little more than "half seas over," feeling thirsty procured a glass of water and drank it. In doing so he swallowed a small ball of silk that lay in the bottom of the tumbler, the end catching in his teeth. Feeling some thing in his mouth. and not knowing what it was, he began pulling at the end, and the little ball unrolling. he soon had several feet in his hands, ant! still no end apparently. Terrified, he shouted of the top of his voice, "Wife ! wife ! I say, wife, come here ! lam all unraveling !" A waggish journalist Willi is often merry over his personal plainness, tells this story of himself: " I went to a chemist the other day for a et ;se or morphine lin• a sick friend. The assistant objected to give it to me With out a prescription, evidently fearing that I intended suicide. " Pshaw!" said I, "do I look like a man who would kill himself?"

Andreoli, a Russian writer, who was exiled some years ago to Siberia, is now con tributing to the Revue Muderne, under the title of "Sovenire de Siberie," his recollec tions not only of Siberian but also of Russian life. In the last number of the Revue lie tells a story, the end of which belongs to the present reign, the beginning to the reign of Paul, of whose period it is strikingly charac teristic: "The Emperor's favorite was at that time a young French actress, of whom he was madly jealous. One evening, at a ball, he noticed that a young man named Labanoff was paying her a great deal of attention. Ile did not lose his temper, but at the end of the ball gave orders that Lab:moll should be arrested and thrown into the citadel. He only intended to keep him there a few days, "to make him more serious," after which Le proposed to reprimand lihn, and then to appoint him to an Alec which had been so licited for him. LabanolT, however, was forgotten. " At the death of Nicholas, Alexander 11., then full of magnanimity, liberated all the prisoners in the citadel, without exception. In a vaulted tomb, in which it was imposi ble to stand upright, and which was not more than two yards long, an old man was found, almost bent double, and incapable of answering when he was spoken to. This was Labanotl: The Emperor Paul had been succeeded by the Emperor Alexander 1., and afterwards by the Emperor Nicholas: he had been in the dungeon more than fifty years. " When he was taken out he could not bear the light, and, by a strange phenome non, his movements had become automatic. Ile could hardly hold himself up, and he had become so accustomed to move about within the limits of his narrow cell that he could not take more than two steps forwards with out turning round, as though lie had struck against a wall, and taking two steps back wards, and so on alternately. lie lived for only a week after his liberation." NOT TO BE OUTDONE. One of the zealous chaplains of the Army of the Potomac, called on a colonel noted for his profanity, in order to talk about the religious interests of his men. He was po litely received, and motioned to a seat on a chest, when the following dialogue ensued : Chaplain—Colonel, you have one of the finest regiments in the army. believu so. Chaplain—Do you think you pay sufficient attention to the religious instruction of your num ? Colonel (doubtfully)—\V ell, I don't know, Chaplain—:l lively inter( st has been awakened in the —th Massachusetts (a revival regiment.) The Lord has blessed the labors of his servants, and ten have already been baptised. Col,mel (excitedly)—ls that so? (To the attendant)—Sergeant major, have fifteen men detailed i:nnu for baptism. I won't be outdone by any Mas-achusetts regi ment. RULES TO REGULATE OURCosnUC•r: A man should be wise in dispute; a lion in the battle and conflict; a teacher in the house hold; a councillor in the nation; an arbitra tor in his vicinity; conscientious in action; content with his state; regular in his habits; diligent in his calling; faithful in his friend ship; temperate in his pleasure; deliberate in his speech; devoted to his (hid. So he will be happy in his life, easy in death, an esteemed example to his successors. Thu :Hartford Courant says there are more deacons in• Wethersfield Ginn in any other place in Connecticut. The other day a well known deacon went to the steamboat Wharf to see a friend Off, and as the boat started the friend said, , •Good-bye, deacon," whereupon twelve men who stood upon the wharf, im mediately tipped their hats, and responded, "Good-bye, sir." 1.1vE1:1" column of a newspaper contains I'l%ml ten to twenty thousand distinct pieces of metal, the displaccnu•nt of a single one or which would cause a Wunder or a typo graphical error.
