GET YOUR TICKETS I The Democratic Electoral Tickets are all folded and ready for distribution. Our friends from the different districts in the county would do well to call on the Chairman of the County Committee, F. S. PYFER, Esq., and get their supplies without any delay. There is nothing like having plenty of ammunition in good time. ORGANIZES ORGANIZE t We trust our Democratic friends all over the county will at once organize their forces for the great battle on TUESDAY NEXT.— AU is not yet lost that is in danger. One more determined charge against the enemy's line, and the day may be won. There is nothing like doing our duty, anyhow. Again we urge upon our friends the necessity of an immediate and thorough organization. Spurious Electoral Tickets ! DEMOCRATS, BE ON YOUR GUARD!! It appears that some restless spirits, foiled in their expectations of mischief against the Democratic party, by the withdrawal of the straight.out Douglas Electoral Ticket, have got up an Electoral Ticket of their own, which they are distributing throughout the State for the purpose of aiding in the election of Lincoln, by withdrawing. Democratic votes from the regular Reading Electdral Ticket.— A number of these bogus tickets have already found their way into Berks county, and the attempt will doubtless be made to palm them off- upon unsuspecting voters as the genuine Democratic ticket. The following is a copy of one of them, which was handed to us yesterday by a friend. We publish it, in order that our readers may be forewarned against the attempted fraud. The names substituted for those upon the regular ticket, are printed in Italic: ELEC roßs : Richard Vans, John Cessna, John Alexander, Frederick Stoever, Joseph Crockett, Edward Wartman, George W. Jacoby, Joseph, Dowdall, Isaiah James, David Schall, John Black, Samuel S. Barber, Thomas H. Walker, Stephen S. Winchester, Joseph Laubach, Isaac Reckhow, George D. Jackson, William L. Gorgas, Joel B. Danner, Jesse R. Crawford, Francis Lam, Joshua B. Howell, Nathaniel P. Fetterman, Samuel Marshall, William Book, Byron D. Hamlin, Gaylord Church. Democrats! do not be deceived by this miserable attempt to give aid and comfort to the Black Republicans. Remember, the Reading Electoral Ticket, headed with the name of GEORGE M. KEIM, IS THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC TICKET IN THE FIELD. Every vote cast for any other, will be equal to a vote against the Democracy, and help to give the State to Lincoln! No man who is truly a Democrat, will join in such a treasonable plot to betray his party. R®" We copy the above from the Reading Gazette of Saturday. The spurious tickets referred to will doubtless be circulated all over the State for the purpose of deceiving honest voters, and thus indirectly aiding the Black Republicans; and we, therefore, caution the Democratic voters of Lancaster county against this attempted fraud and ina , position. • The genuine Electoral Ticket is the one at our editorial head—all others are bogus, and should be guarded against. AN EXCELLENT ADDRESS In another column will be found an address from Hon. WILLIAM H. WELSH, Chairman of the Democratic State Executive Committee. We ask the special attention of the voters of Pennsylvania to this address. It urges the importance and necessity of our casting the full conservative vote of the State, not only that our organization may be preserved, but in order to show our Southern brethren, that the true Democracy of PenneylVania are will ing and ready, as in days past, to rally around the - Constitution an,l the equality of the States; that now, as then, the true Northern National Democracy will stand like a wall of lire around the Constitution to preserve its compromises, and to withstand any aggression upon the Constitutional rights of any portion of our citisens or . any section of the Union. This address also inculcates the high duty of all conservative men to cast aside individual preferences, and to rally in a common cause against .a common enemy. It eautions our friends in tho neighboring States against a Black Republican scheme now on foot, to colonize votes in New Jersey and - New York, from Pennaylvanii, when they think theroan be spared. We again' commend this address to the attention of the people. _, ter C.

INIMLI;;CZE;M=II We have met with a number of Democrats from different parts ,of the county since the election, and were gratified not to find one who was disheartened by the result. Oa the contrary, each and all expressed themitelvee more determined , tit - labor and work for the good old use now,' than they would-have been if ivihad carried :the Stab) by a largo - majority, :This lithe right spirit. It is the, `only spirit or feeling.propprle a Demeemat under present ciroumetaeoes ; and we hope to see this spirit manifest, itself by becoming zeal and activity in every township and die. trict in the oounty. is_no time for despondency or indifference. A true DIM°• crat never desponds, Defeat is regarded as only a temporary disaster, that but prompts to increased vigilance and renewed efforts, which are sure to crown ;the glorious old ban• ner of Jefferson and Jackson with victory at an early day. Take courage, then, Democrats, one and all, and rally for the November con test. There are hundreds and thousands of men in Pennsylvania, who voted for CUrtin; who will not risk and endanger the future peace and harmony of our glorious, blood bought Union, and the general prosperity of oar great country, by voting for such a rank, sectional Abolitionist as !Lincoln. Up, then, fellow Democrats of Lancaster county, and to work. By propef efforts. and bringing out all our voters, the Abolition !majority of October will certainly be considerably reduced in . November ; and if other counties do the same, as they undoubtedly will, a majority of the votes of the State will be out against Lincoln. THE ISSUE TO BE DECIDED 1 The Presidential election is rapidly ap• proaohing. In one week from to-day the people of the United States will have to de termine by their votes whether the Govern ment is to be conducted; for the next four years, in accordance with the spirit and policy of our institutions, dealing' out equal and exact justice to all sections of the Union, and thus strengthening the bonds which unite US as a free and. independent people ; or whether it is to be conducted on new and sectional prin ciples, and thereby trample- upon the Consti tutional rights of fifteen sovereign States of the Confederacy. The great question to be determined is, whether we are to remain a united and happy people, or whether (by the elevation of ABRAHAM LINCOLN to the Presi• dency) we are to become discordant and die severed, and thus wreck the fondest hopes of the friends of liberty throughout the civilized world. The indications in the South have a gloomy and foreboding appearance. In the event of Lisieux's election, appearances justify the apprehension that several of the Southern States will immediately take measures to se cede, and more of them will soon follow the example. The Union once dissevered will never more be united. Even if such a step on their part brought about a civil war, as in all human probability it would, and the North, by superior numbers, would overwhelm them, they could not be brought back into the Union as co-equal and sovereign. States, but would have to be held as conquered provinces; and it would require an immense standing army to be kept there, at an enormous expense, all the time, to keep them in subjection. This is sober truth, and the people of Pennsylvania would do well to consider what they are doing when they go to the polls on Tuesday next to cast their votes for a Chief Magistrate of the Nation. The times are portentous-,dangers are thickening around our beloved country, and every lover of our institutions should pause upon the threshold- of disunion, and resolve to lend a helping hand to stay the fell demon of discord which is brooding over this fair heritage bequeathed to us by our revolu tionary fathers. There is danger to the Union—imminent danger, and the election of LINCOLN would unquestionably precipitate the crisis. Dis guise it as they may—treat it with levity as our Republican opponents choose—the election of Tuesday next may sound the death-knell to the Union, and many of our Northern people will repent, when too late, their hasty and in considerate action in forcing the issue upon our Southern brethren. We speak earnestly and feelingly on the subject, and would urge upon our Democratic friends, and all others who love the Constitution and the Union, to turn out in their strength at the Presidential elec tion, and cast their votes in such a way as will assist in saving the Republic from the dangers which threaten its continued existence. A WORD IN REPLY Some scribbler for the Philadelphia Press, writing from Lancaster, makes a covert attack upon the senior editor of the Intelligencer, on account of an effigy burning which took place here on the evening of Friday the 19th inst., and which he alleges was intended to represent Col. John W. Forney. Whether it was so intended we are not able to say ; but, if it was, it may be of some interest to the Press corres pondent and the public to know, that the party who did the act was mainly composed of the friends of Mr. Dolmas—very few of the BRECKINRIDGE men having participated either in the procession or bon-fire. As for the editor of the Intelligencer, he neither knew of the effigy, nor did he, directly or indirectly, participate in the proceedings of the evening. Nay, more: he is opposed to the burning of Col. Forney or any other man in effigy, how ever much he may differ with him in political opinion. We have nothing more to say on the subject; but we will wager a year's sub scription that Col. Forney's Lancaster corres pondent voted for CURTIN at the late election, that be is now heart and soul for LINCOLN, and that he is a Black Republican in disguise. 46 17 P , GUARDS, AND AT THERE P, These were the words of Wellington, at Waterloo, and pointing to the Opposition, we say to Democrats, "UP GUARDS, AND AT THEM I" The enemy has triumphed in the preliminary or first battle of the campaign.— Let not this dishearten or discourage you. Stand fast to your integrity and by your or ganization—continue boldly to advocate and contend for the doctrines of the Constitution as handed down to you by Washington, Jef ferson, Jackson and Polk. Maintain your organization in the several townships and districts, and prepare for the great battle next week. True Democrats are never driven from the field by a defeat. On the contrary, it but prompts them to increased activity and energy, because they know that if they are faithful to the good old cause, victory will, in due time, be their reward. Rally, then, fellow Democrats, and we will shoW the Black Re. publicans, on the 6th of November, that we are not-vanquished, if we were beaten at the late election. UNITED STATES SENATOR Both branches of the Legislature being largely Republican, that party will have things their own way. The squabble as to who shall be United States Senator, in place of Gov. Bigler, has already commenced. A number of disinterested patriots are named in connexion with the position—some of them worthy and capable, and others unworthy and incapable. Among the names mentioned are those of David Wilmot, Morton McMichael, Alexander K. McClure, Ex Gov, Pollock, A. H. 'Reeder, Thaddeus Stevens, Eli Slifer, Henry 0. Carey, and Wm. B. Minn, and doubtless there are scores of others who would have no objection to serving the ' dear people' in that capacity. - If the condition of the negro slaves at the South and the free negroes of the North—be contrasted, we find no difficulty in determin ing where the comfort, happiness and *ell being of the rise are best subserved. In the South, as everybody is aware, tbe wants of thifnegro from infanoyie death are,sappfied. .He is not in skill:nese of.in old age east off to shift for himself. The duty:of this_ care by thelnaster is - not only 'a mnrel . but A _4tl obligation, which is seldom if ever violated. If it be violated in rare instances, public( opinion neither tolerates nor excuses the offence. As a universal rule, then, the negro slaves of the South are well fed and well cared for in all respects, and are, if not med dled with by Abolitionists,- the happiest creatures on the face of the earth. Eierybody-knows something of the - condi tion of the negroes of the North, though no great pains have been taken to procure statis tics concerning it, until recently; and these only for a single city. They are equally trtte, however, of every Northern city, as of New . York. They are contained chiefly, in the reports of the almshouse department, and the colored home, and the colored orphan asylum of New York for the last year. The whole colored population of that city is about 10,000. Of this number, nearly 3,000 were on the list of outdoor poor; 300 were inmates of the colored home, and 220 were provided for in the colored orphsn asylum, making more than 3,500 in all. This is more than one in three of the whole colored popula tion, which is an enormous per centage. But if to it we add the hundreds who live mainly upon private charity, the number will ap proach 5,000, or nearly one-half the whole. It is estimated that of those remaining, one eighth live by thieving. So not more than one third of the whole colored population maintain themselves independently and honest ly. The same statistics show that every one in eleven was committed to prison for criminal offences, and that only twenty in all are tax payers, representing less than three hundred thousand dollars of real estate. This in form of taxes, the Degrees do little towards sup porting their own poor. It is a _population which is not only a nuisance, but an expensive nuisance. And it does not improve—quite the reverse. And in Now York there is motive for improvement. A negro with a freehold of $250 becomes a voter at all elections. We are not informed of the whole number of voters in the State, but it is small. Whatever else this contrast argues, it cer• tainly does not argue in favor of free negroes, either as a blessing to themselves or to the whites. We would suggest, did we think they would act on the suggestion, that the Abolitionists abate something of the violence of their cru sade in behalf of freedom to the Southern negroes, and direct their energies towards the liberation .of the thousands of Northern negroes from the almshouses which they do so much inhabit. It may, to bS sure, require the exercise of some pecuniary benevolence, but the money now expended in the working of the underground railroad will go far in reim horsing the outlay of the new enterprise. DON'T GIVE up THE SHIP.” Democrats, defeated in October, let us at least deserve-success in November 1 EVERY DENIOORATIQ VOTE SHOULD BE POLL— ED 1 When the evils come upon us that are sure to follow if Lincoln be elected, every Democrat who can not say he voted against him will feel ashamed of himself, while every man who voted for the Democratic Electors will point to that fact in triumph as over. whelming proof that he had nothing to do with imperiling his country, but that he re sisted the fatal step manfully. But it is an old adage that " all is not lost that is in danger." The Republicans have spent all the money they had raised to operate on the late election—their frauds will scarcely be repeated—the Wide Awakes are growing weak in the knees—and there is much to encourage the Democracy in making one more effort for victory. Our candidate for Governor received more votes than any other Democrat ever received in this State, and we can roll up a still larger vote for our Electoral ticket. If we can give it ten thousand more votes than Gen. FOSTER received, or even as many, we will in all probability carry the State, as it is not at all probable that the Republicans can poll near as many votes as they did in October. Once more to the breach, then, friends, and make a final and vigorous 'effort to save the country from the evils threatening us in the event of Latcotzes election. NEW YORK. The best informed among our friends in New York appear to feel confident of the success of the Union ticket in that State, and the consequent defeat of LINCOLN. And so of the press. The Hews declares that the State can and will be saved to the Democracy. The Herald says the friends of the Constitu tion and the Union can carry the State. The Express appears quite sure of success. The Journal of Commerce, always cautious in its predictions, is highly gratified with the pros' peat, and seems confident of victory. The Albany Argus, the leading Democratic paper in the State, thus cheers its readers abroad : " Intelligence from all parts of the State tends to one end—that New York can and will be redeemed, and that by its' vote LINCOLN will be defeated ! This is the word that is sent us from the North and South, the East and the West. The intelligence of disaffection and defeat in other States, instead of discouraging the Democracy, has served to arouse and in vigorate them. In every county heard from, the intelligence is that the Democratic majority is to be increased or the Republican majority diminished. Mr. LINCOLN has none of the popularity of Fremont; and that candidate, with all his apparent success, was still in a large minority of the popular vote in the State. His opponents, concentrated and recruited by large accessions from the supporters of Repub licanism in 1856, have only to unfold their energies, and to push on from this moment with courageous impulse, and they will sweep all before them." OREGON SENATORS. The latest news from Oregon indicates a complete fueion between the Douglas and Re publican members of the Legislature. They " joined jiblets " and elected Col. E. D. BAKER, (Rep.) and J. A. NESMITH, (Douglas Dem.) 11. S. Senators—the first for the short term, and the other for the long term commencing on the 4th of March next. If there is any Democracy in such a fusion we should like to be informed of it. We have promised an economical adminis— tration of the government, and old Abe will redeem that too.—Scranton Republican. Aye, and you promised the people on a certain other memorable occasion "two dollars a day and roast beef," if they would vote for your candidates, and you redeemed your promise by giving them a bankrupt law, by which honest indebtedness was wiped out by wholesale to the tune of millions. A pretty set of fellows, truly, is talk about an honest gove4nment, with the recollection of -the Galphin frauds, the Joe Ritner history, &0., so fresh in the minds of the people, and even now with their lobby borers exulting in the prospect of a - repeal of the tonnage tax. DEMOCRATIC STATE EXECUTIVE , COMMITTEE. To the Democracy of Pennsylvania: The 'Democratic State Committee ddems it a duty, once more to address you, before the final vote for President of the United States. It is enabled to do so now, with a conscious ness that, every sserifice. private feeling having been made, thii Deuiearatie party ie once more united in the support of the rags.: larly nominated Electoral Ticket..' which, in its aggregate, represen‘the publiefsentlinent of Pennsylvania, adverse to sectionalism, and faithful to the Union and the COnstitution. .• The object of the State Committee now'is, to invoke for that ticket a zealous and active support. Such a support, given in every county in the State, may reverse the defeat at the State election, and, even if it does not, :will save the Democratic party. from that die integration which an apparent abandonment of - its flag would seem to threaten, and which our ancient enemies so-much desire. • If the Democratio party in Pennsylvania can be demoralized and broken to pieces, .the perma nent success of the mercenary crowd now forming the People's or Republican party, will be secured, and ,the State, which is more substantially Democratic than anyone in the Union, be handed over for a series of years, to the control of those whose policy is alien to its true interests—the policy against which the Democratic party has so long and so resolutely contended. A thorough organization and full vote of the Democracy at the Presidential election, is important for other reasons. Intoxicated by one victory, won mainly through the unhappy differences of the De— mocracy—sure, without effort, of another in November—the leaders of the Republican party are meditating an extensive export of Pennsylvania voters into the . neighboring States, especially in New Jersey and Dela— ware, where the contest is very close. Not wanted, as they think, here, they will be 'very serviceable there. Let this fraud be frustrated, if possible, by such activity on our 'part, as will compel our adversaries to remain at home. It may be, should the attempt at colonising be persisted in, that Pennsylvania now can be redeemed. But there is a higher and stronger motive to action. Every Democratic vote cast in November—every vote, indeed, against the Republican ticket—is a vote for the Constitu tion, the Union, and for the rights and prop— erty and safety of our, Southern brethren, and swells the great conservative, body, which, whether it be at the time a majority or minor ity, now stands as the only barrier to section alism and fanaticism. Should Mr.'Lincoln be elected, and his Administration prove, as we fear it will, to be animated by the aggres sive spirit of anti-slavery fanaticism, and threaten still more the well ascertained rights of any portion of the Union, the Democratic party of Pennsylvania will be - the great constituent of the constitutional opposition, which must check and control the Executive. It is all important that the elements of such an opposition should develops themselves at the polls pow. Such a demonstration of Northern Democratic sentiment, even if it should not insure victory, may ultimately save the Union, .by showing to the South how many true friends they have in the North, and especially in those Middle States, which are the truest and moat loyal to the Constitution. Let it be remembered that when, in 1854, the storm of kindred fanaticism broke upon Penn sylvania, the Know Nothing candidate was elected Governor by an overwhelming majori ty ; and yet, in less than two years, fanaticism died out as suddenly as it arose, and the Democratic party, true to its principles— faithful, even in disaster, to its standard— resumed its influence and predominance in the State. So will it be now. All depends on activity, on concert, on honorable and magnanimous forgetfulness of past differences. Let any one who hints at their revival, who seeks to excite again any unkind feeling among Democrats, be marked as an enemy to his country and to his party. Z. et the County Committees take immediate measures to secure a full vote of the Democratic - party, even in districts where local success is impracticable ; for, remember that, in Novem ber, every vote counts in the great result, and that every Democrat who stays at home, ex— presses his despair of the Republic, and practically votes with the enemies of the Union and the Constitution. WILLIAM H. WELSH, Chiirman. Democratic State Executive Committee Rooms, Philadelphia, October 23, 1860. THE , g PRE SS P , E NDORSED I At a Republican meeting held in Philadel— phia, on Tuesday evening last, ex-Governor PoLLocx made a speech, which is published at length in the Press of Wednesday. We make the subjoined extract from the speech for the special benefit of our Democratic readers: " You have a paper in your city which I would recommend, not only to Republicans, hut to every honest, free hearted man in the Union—Democratic, Wide Awakes, or any others. I refer to The Press. John W. Forney had said that the Old Public Function. ary, Pennsylvania's favorite son, had deceived the people—that be had done wrong. Every Democrat in the State of Pennsylvania must honor him, [Forney,] I care not how they vote at the approaching election. Now, it is at all times gratifying to a news paper editor when the course of his paper meets with general approval— especially among his own party friends ; but it 'always has a suspicious look when praise comes exclusively from a political opponent. Still, -the ex• Governor, whatever may be his other failings; has never been charged with the sin of ingratitude, and we suppose he is only paying off part of his and his party's indebt edness to the Press, in recommending it so strongly to the patronage of the Republicans. LINCOLN'S MILITARY SERVICES Abe Lincoln has just received a paterit of 120 acres of land for his military service's in the Black Hawk war. He voted against giving bounty lands to soldiers in the Mexican war —voted against even thanking them for their services, and favored a resolution virtually declaring them all murderers and cut throats. His only exploit was in crying loudly for "quarter," when he supposed the Indians were near. Mr. Lincoln himself gives the following account of the services, for which he has just received a land warrant, in one of his chaste and eloquent Congressional speech es, delivered on the 29th of July, 1848: 'By the way, Mr. Speaker, did you know am a military hero? Yes, sir, in the days of the Black Hawk war I fought. bled, and came away. Speaking of Gee. Cass' career, reminds me of my own. I was not at Still man's defeat, but I was about as near it as Cass was to Hull's surrender; and, like him, I saw the place very soon afterwards. It is quite certain I did not break my sword, for I had none to break; but I bent my musket pretty badly on one occasion. If Cass broke his sword, the idea is, he broke it in despera tioi ; I bent the musket by accident. If Gen. Cass went in advance of me in picking whor tleberries, I guess I surpassed him in charges upon the wild onions. If he saw any live fighting Indians, it was more than I did, but I had a good many bloody struggles with the musquitoes; and although I never fainted from loss of blood, I can truly say I was often very hungry."- TOE NEGROES IN MOTION. In the Philadelphia Ledger, of Wednesday last, the following advertisement appeared : ATTENTION WIDE AWAKES I—The colored citizens of Philadelphia will meet nightly at B... Williamson's, Sevegth street, near Lombard, for the purpose of , organiz ing a City Wide Awake Club. THOS. TOELNSON, Sec. pro tem Here we have the natural fruits of an abo lition victory in Pennsylvania. The negroes, like their Anglo Saxon confreres, are organiz ing semi-military bands, and preparing to take the first step in the march to „-„perfeot social and political equality, which is so sacredly promised them by the abolitionized Republican party. POTATOES AT THE WEST.—The Davenport (Iowa) Democrat says : " If anybody wants to see potatoes by the cord—good measure— let them step down to the levee. There is not shipping enough at this time on the Upper Mississippi to move them away as fast they accumulate. Farmers complain a little that the price is too low, but they are the only. party to blame; if they want higher. prices they must not raise so many. The market price is from twelve to fifteen cents per bushel." WILY -AFFAIRS. CHURCH LiRDICATION.—The newly - finis hed edifice of St. Paul's hi. R. Church, Sooth Queen street,,was dedicated on Sunday morning last by Rev. Bishop Jeans, D. D., of New York. The venerable Bishop, who is a pleas- Ing - smaker, a gentleman of fine personal appearance, but simple and iinaffeeted In manner, preached an able, earnest sued eloquent din:nurse, after which he dediated the land ing according to theism ritual.of the BL EL .Lured.- - :The ecrerchne were deeply interesting and solemn, ant were listened to by *croirded and attentive coxypegation.... /re the afternoon start addresses were delivered bi Rev.

The collections throughout the day amounted to nearly si 3 Oo, which is certainly a munificent sum. Excellent tinging was famished throughout the day by the efficient Choir of the Duke Street M. B. Church, under the direction of the Leader, Prof. Jams L ettzs. The finewtoned Melodeon of the above Church was skilfully played by the Melodeonist.' Much credit is due to the indefatigable and gentlemanly Pastor of St. Paul's Church, Rev. &warn L. HiIIeSCIEB, for the manner which the interesting BerTieos of the day were conducted. MILITARY PARADE AT MANFI6IM.—TIIO rat eiblez of this city, Mount Toy Rifles, and Manheim Rifles, comprising a portion of the let Regiment of Lancaster County Volunteers, paraded at Blenheim Borough on Sat turday last. The turn out, though not large, was exceed ingly fine, and was witnessed by alarge number of spec tators. The Vencibles speak in the highest terms of their treatment by the citizens of Manheim. The Fencibled Silver Band added greatly to the attractiveness of the scene by their glorious, soulatirring music. NIGHT WATCHMF.N.—The Mayor has made the following appointments of Night Watchmen, via: N. W. Ward—Henry Diehl, Hiram H. Hambright, Wil liam Flick. N. B. Ward—George Ruth, John Conner, Joseph Dorwart. 8. W. Ward—Philip liambq,ff, Michael Kennedy, Jacob Yoram.' S. E. Ward—George Bonce, Frederick Reiter, John Clare. They will enter upon their duties on to-morrow evening.

Reva. G. F. Krotel and Dorsey will officiate on the occasion. Servi ces will be conducted in the German and English languages. The public are respectfully invited to attend. DEATH OF JACOB REESE.—It Seems as if it were but yesterday that we recorded the death of our friend David Reese, of the firm of J. a D. Reese, of the City Hotel, North Queen e,reet. To-day we are called upon to announce the death of the father and surviving member of the late firm, Jacob Reese, which took place on Thursday night last. Mr. Reese had been suffering for several weeks from a dropsical affection, which finally proved fatal. lip to within a recent period he possessed an Iron constitution, which carried him through many a severe physical ordeal in the course of three score years. ATTEMPTED INCENDIARISM.—We learn from the Express that, on Thursday night or Friday morning, a daring attempt was made to fire the stable in the alley In the rear of Feddereon'e Hotel, South Queen street. The villain or villains collected a small quantity of straw and other combustible material and placed it in a small window way on a level with the ground. They then apparently covered this over with a piece of elate and applied the match. The straw burnt up and the door of the window was slightly charred, but the absence of a draft prevented the fire from communicating with the straw in the Inside. Had the fire got a fair start it would undoubtedly have made bad work, as the stable is a large one, and Is filled with hay and straw and le surrounded by a number of frame stables. This attempt should put property-holders on their guard; a close watch should be kept over the out buildings, as it is evident from this attempt that a series of fires are contemplated by the incendiary wretches. DEPUTY CoaorrEa.—Coroner Balmer has appointed Mr. Joseph C. Snyder, or this city, a Deputy Coroner.

The battle was fought atVolturno, and it is described as a most bloody one, dur ing which the Neapolitans were driven back, in disorder, to Canna, with a loss of 3,000 killed and 5,000 wounded and taken prisoners. Garibaldi's lose was estimated at less than 2,000. The battle of Volturno commenced by 30,- 000 Neapolitans attacking the Garibaldians during a thick mist. The attacking force carried some of the po sitions, driving back the Garibalcilans, whose number was less than half. Garibaldi then wont forward, with revolver in hand, and a desperate fight ensued lasting eight hours, and ending in the route of the Neapolitans. The losses on both sides have been already stated. The German brigade was cut off and driven into the mountains, and the Royalists made a sortie to rescue them, but were repulsed. The King of Naples and his brothers were present at the battle. Rumors prevailed that Capua had surren dered and also of a bombardment, but neither have been confirmed. The line of posts about Volturno are still strongly protected, and the Neapolitans are prepared to defend their positions. Garibaldi has called on King Victor Em manual to go to Naples, and to send him a reinforcement of 14,000 men. It is reported that the three great Powers have protested against the Piedmontese army entering the Neapolitan territory. THE BEGINNING OF THE END.-" The Phila delphia stock market, on Friday, was very heavy, and prices generally had a downward tendency." So says the North American. In .New York there was a great depression in stocks also, notwithstanding the effort on the part of the Republicans to toss them up until after the November election. 'The fact is, the low rates at which the government loan was taken, and the startling fact that there was no bidder south of Washington, the depressed state of the stock market, and the unwilling ness to invest in any securities, notwithstand ing the great superabundance of capital, indicates clearly that men are beginning to set their houses in order ; that they look upon all this as the " beginning of the-end." We fear that the capital and business of the North will yet find the nigger a bad investment. IMMENSE TRADE OF THE LAKES.—The fol— lowing is from the Detroit Advertiser, of Fri— day week: —`• During the thirty six hours, ending last night, ninety-three grain laden vessels, - sail and steam, passed this port. The aggregate cargoes amount to about one million mx hundred and seventy four thousand bushels." This is a specimen of the business which the Lakes are now _doing. Everything that can float has been put in requisition to carry the products of the teeming Northwest to market. Another authority, writing from Detroit, says :—Every means of transportation for freight from this point is made use of, and yet there is an insufficiency. Produce is accu— mulating for the East, in spite of the numerous steamers that are constantly plying, and all loaded to their utmost capacity. Nine steani— ers are engaged exclusively in the Lake Supe— rior trade, and yet shippers have found them— selves obliged to charter sail vessels to relieve themselves of the, pressure. q®' .We direot attention to the advertise. ment of Wm.

The Union torchlight procession in New York City, on Tuesday night last, is acknowl edged on all hands to have been a complete success, marked in all its features with great enthusiasm. The Journal of Commerce says it was without doubt the most brilliant affair of the kind ever seen on the face of the earth. The Republicans, after months of careful preparation and the expenditure of immense sums of money, got up a very creditable pro cession of the sort last month; but the Demo crats and Union men, with only two weeks' management and a very moderate expenditure, beat them at least three to• one in point of numbers, and totally eclipsed them in the splendor of all their equipments and decora tions. The Clubs commenced rallying at their respective rendezvous as early as six o'clock. They formed in the streets around and above the City Hall, and for two hours the lower part of the city glowed with the long lines of Union men coming in from Brooklyn and Jersey City. It seemed as if those two cities had poured out the larger part of their popu lation to assist in the grand parade. The time appointed fur starting the proces sion was 8 o'clock, but, owing to delays inev itable to such an immense army of men, the time was postponed about one hour. About half past eight, a gun, known by the playful name of the "Empire Pocket Piece," fired by Capt. Stephen Wilson, announced the move ment of the advance column. At this time, Broadway and the long route of the procession were thronged with people. No such crowd has, been seen on Broadway since the Japanese and Prince of Wales demonstrations. The sidewalks were closely packed, and several feet of the street outside of either curb were equally crowded. All the windows were occupied mainly by ladies, who had their handkerchiefs out, ready to wave in approval of the "Union." There were 290 clubs in line, the whole being under the command of Capt. Isaiah Rynders, as Chief Marshal, assisted by a number of aids. The scene along the route was truly magnificent. In addition to the tens of thousands of torches, innumerable rockets, Roman candles and calcium lights lent their illuminating powers to the splendid scene.— The glare of these countless fires almost turned night to day. The cheering of the half a million or more of people, who lined Broadway and the entire route of the procession, was most enthusiastic. Lady spectators, especially those in the hotels, waved their handkerchiefs continually. At the New Yerk Hotel there was a handkerchief at nearly every window. The procession was very orderly and peace. able. In passing the Washington Statue, in Union Square, the men uncovered, and the bands played a National air. The procession numbered between 30,000 and 40.000 men. [The Herald puts it down at 37,107, by actual count.] It was over three hours in passing any given point, and its whole route was not completed till over an hour after midnight. Thus ended the grandest torchlight display that has ever been seen in any age or any country. TEN YEARS.—The changes which have taken place between 1850 and 1860 in the economic condition of our country are very great. In that period the gold mines have been discovered in California and Australia. In 1840 we had $4 paper circulation to $1 in specie ; in 1850, only 3 to 1; in 1860, less than 2to 1. In 1849 the product of precious metals was $95,000,000; in 1859 it was $264,- 000,000. The whole amount now in . the world is estimated at $10,000,000,000, of which six-tenths is silver. It was always supposed that a sudden increase in the quan— tity of money increases prices. This has not proved true, for in spite of the influx of gold, and in spite of the repeal of the English corn laws, which has enabled ns to export immense quantities of flour and grain, prices in general are lower, and wages higher than they ever were before. Tables show that prices generally, during 40 years, were highest in 1837, andp lowest about 1843. Flour was so scarce in 1837, that we imported $5,000,000 worth ' • its average price for 40 years has been $6.54 per bbl. The sale of tea has increased in 25 years from 13,000,000 to 36,000,000 lbs.; the average price for that period has been forty eight cents. The cotton crop has increased in 40 years, from 180,000,000 lbs. to 1,800,- 000,000 lbs. A great demand for breadstuffs from 1850 to 1857, occasioned by railway labor, and the repeal of the British corn laws, kept prices generally on the advance; but in 1857, on account of the abundant crops, the slackening of the shipping and railway interest, and a glutted cotton market, a downward tendency prevailed. Prices don't seem generally ' to be affected by the fluctuations of paper currency. In 1849 the bank note circulation was $119,000,000; in 1852, $173,000,000 ; in March, 1858, it was $120,000,000; shortly after which. it rose to $156,000,000. The balance of trade in favor of the United States in the Jut ten years is $62.058,884, although our coffee, tea and sugar cost us $40.000,000 annually. The consumption of coffee in 1834 was three lbs. per head ;it is now 8 lbs. per head. Our exports of breadstuffs from 1850 to 1860 were s4Bo,ooo,ooo.—Journal of "Commerce. tar Wislar's Balsam of Wild ..Cheriy, is a pleasant remedy for every kind of cough, cold, and irritation of the breathing appar atus ; it is a safe remedy ; it is a powerful remedy ; it is aepeedy remedy; it is a remedy that cures.

The probability of the election of Mr. Lin coln is creating great uneasiness at the South, even among the MOM cool and conservative of her citizens. The New York Express pub lishes the following private letter from a citizen of Georgia, who is said to be no fires eater, no fanatic, no disunionist, or disor ganizer, but an intelligent, conservative man: Sevenea, Ga., Oct. 16, 1860. Hy Dear Sir: What I write for the papers is too apt to be set down to a desire for political effect, and therefore I drop you this private note that you may know the real condition of things at the South. The result in Pennsylvania has electrified this whole section of the Union. The friends of an independent confederacy are jubilant, while the news has fallen as a pall of death on us, who, through every trial, have stood by the work of our fathers and hoped for, an era of peace. Ido not even yet despair ; but our friends, almost unanimously, are firm in their conviction that the election of Lincoln is no longer a problem. What is to come after it, God only knows; the idea of peace is utterly preposterous. The more conservative men in the South are now for setting our houses in order, for calamity, in some form,, is obliged to come upon the country, shoald a sectional government be placed over . us. We—the Union men of the South—have heretofore fought gallantly and with success; but now our arms are stricken down and our hands tied. My honest conviction, before God, is that the election of Lincoln will not be submitted to by a majority of the Southern States, and such will be the fury and excitement that is sure to follow the announcement of such an event that all the conservatism of the South will be but a feather before the storm. The North now has the hopes and the destiny of the country in its hands. May we not hope that the unpropitious result of the late elections will fire the patri— otic men of the North to some powerful and unusual effort to stem the tide of anti slavery fanaticism, and save the Union from the dis— aster that so imminently threatens it? I hope so, and just here is our only trust. Do not place it in the power of even a minority at the South to involve us in one common trouble; for I tell you, come what may, right or wrong, wise or foolish, a collision between the people of the South on the issue of sustaining or making war upon a black republican govern— ment will never take place. The North may rely on this. I have never before felt so down-cast and desponding with regard to political affairs, and I write you this hasty note for your own private information, and with the hope that you will present the issue to your people in its true light. , oh, that they could only know, and in time, the real sentiments of their Southern brethren on this momentous question! I am, very truly, yours, * * WHAT WILL THE SOUTH DO 1 What will the South do in the event of Mr. LINCOLN'S election ? This question is answered by the Chicago Times as follows : The Southern people believe that, while his election may be covered by the mgis of the Constitution, its object is the violation of their dearest rights under the Constitution. They granted the trust powers of the Constitution to the control of the majority, with the belief that they would be shared by themselves, and would be exercised for the common good ; and that when an inimical sectional majority wields - them to their oppression, it is a virtual forfeiture of the trust. They do not doubt, either, that the most intolerable oppression might be carried on under the letter of the Constitution itself, and that it matters not to them how they are opposed so long as the fact exists. These we know to be the views of the Southern people. How far they will feel justified in asserting their right of self preser— vation, upon the election of Lincoln, we know not. But we must, in all candor, say that we have many reasons to believe that they will make the effort to place their interests promptly :under their own protection. The evidences of sectional alieniation and general distrust are complete. We have, too, un— doubted evidence that a powerful organiza— tion exists, pledged to prompt action, and that it is rapidly increasing. One great motive is stimulating the idea of immediate action, which is wholly overlooked in the North. The people of the South, very generally believing that sooner or later the Union will be dis— solved, feel that to suffer the army and the navy and the whole power of the central government to pass into the hands of their enemies would render the ;efforts to form a separate government far more difficult and dangerous. The feeling is therefore gaining ground that they must secure their footing before Lincoln gets the power of the govern— ment. We have many reasons to believe that the people of the South anticipate the election of Lincoln, and that they are organizing for action upon the views just suggested. Tb recent results in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana will not tend to lessen their fears or preparations. It is believed in the North that a majority of the Southern people would not think the election of Lincoln cause for dis— solution. This may be true, and perhaps is true. But the large minority who do think it good cause, and the men who are disunionists per se, have resolved to force the issue, as we verily believe. This, we have no hesitancy in saying, they have the power to do. Fifty thousand men even might, by their aotion, bring on results that would involve the whole South. That Lincoln's election would pass off without disaster we do not believe for one moment. We say this in " sorrow, not in anger." We say it in no sense, as we have before said, as appealing to the fears of the public, other than those just and patriotic fears which ought to make men review their opinions and calculate the cost of their action. FORTUNATE ESCAPE OP COLONEL PRESTON FROM DaowNizio.—By a letter received in this city yesterday from Hon. William Preston, our Minister to Spain, we learn that on the 2d inst. he sailed with his family from Mar— seilles in a Spanish vessel, on his route for Madrid. They had not proceeded far, when the vessel struck a rock and all the passengers were in imminent peril. Col. Preston placed his wife and two daughters in one boat, three daughters in another, and embarked himself with hie son in a third. The ladies were all landed in safety, but the boat fn which the Colonel and his son were, was stranded on a rocky shore; the young gentleman was thrown out, but was rescued by the inhabitants who lied gathered on the beach. The Colonel him self was drawn back three times by the re— ceding waves and ender-tow, and though eventually he was saved by the desperate exertions of Maltese and Catalan boatmen, be was in an apparently lifeless condition. Res toratives were efficiently administered, and we are pleased to state that at last advices the Colonel and all his family were entirely re— covered and had gone back to Marseilles.— This fortunate termination of an accident, which was so fearful in its perils, will carry joy to the many friends of our distinguished townsman.—Louisville Journal, ° q t. 24th. A MODEL CALIFORNIA SENATOR.—Senator Latham, of California, intends to return to Washington in a novel way. He has had constructed a carriage at San Francisco, for the special convenience of himself and lady. It is of the general exterior appearance of a heavy Concord wagon, set on springs and thorough•braced. Two seats, with spring backs and cushions, are placed within it; but, by an ingenious arrangement they both can be so disposed out of the way, that a mattress occupies the whole body of the wagon, where on the rider . may sleep as comfortably as in his own house, with only a gentle earthquake shock rolling below. Behind the driver's eeat, which can be entirely shut off by a curtain from the interior when desirable, is a series of drawers ; above are the straps-for the shooting irons. As for the apparent convenience of the car riage, an invalid might cross the continent on it without once setting foot on the ground for any purpose. Awnings aro outrigged on both sides, and care has been, taken to secure a good ventilation at all times. A tent, fitted to be raised on jointed pales, will afford a • temporary tabernacle when it is deemed desir able to "stretch," and for a day or two to be free from the monotony of the - carriage. The tent is packed away under the driver's seat when not needed. The company will consist of six—the Senator and his lady, two servants a conductor and a driver. The route meter- mined on is by the Butterfield 'route to" El Paso, thence by the • San Diego and San Antonio route to San Antonio, and thence to New Orleans. The overland companies fur— Dish teams, and the party will take their - own time, probably from' eight to, ,twelve weeka,,,to aboomplieh the trip.-;-San Fiancisoo Herald.
