Southern Merchants Paying the Piper.
The southern merchants will in all probalii!
ity soon begin to realize—those that have not
realized already—the folly of which their pub
lic men have been guilty in talking so freely
of disunion, and of threatening resistance to a
Republican administration if one should be
organized. This style of speech has been re
crted to,we arc well aware, fur political effect
and to prevent a result which it affects to treat
as a release from all constitutional obligations
but the very fact that it was used hy leading
statesmen such as Davis, and Hammond, and
Rhett, and Siidell, and in fact by most or all
the Administration senators from the South,to
say nothing of the sbirri of the party, the
Yanoeys and Keitts, for whose outpourings no
one North or South cares to be responsible,
implies that it was found efficacious euough to
be worth persisting in. The con-eqoenceof this
cry of wolf,w hen there was no wolf, is begin
ning to be fell already in the South very seri
ously. Our merchants, even those most solici
tous heretofore lor southern trade, are decliu
ng to deliver goods upon costomary terms, to
southern orders. The reason assigned is that
the state of feeling which, it is inferred from
the tenor of the speeches delivered by southern
politicians, will exist in that quarter of the
Union after Lincoln's election,will be such that
northern claims cannot be enforced in southern
courts. If a New York or Boston merchant
were to go to Alabama or Mississippi, for ex
ample, to collect a debt of twenty thousand
dollars by process of law and execution, no
one iu the business and conversant with the ad
ministration of the law in those states would
suppose for a moment that he would be suc
cessful He would only be too happy if he
escaped without a coat of tar and feathers.—
Nor is this distrust confined to the efficiency
of the public tribunals. There is always in
every community a class of men who only wish
a good pretext for not paying their debts,
though without a pretext they would make
large sacrifices to save their credit. All this
class will feel abundantly justified by the pub
lic feeling which exists in many portions of the
.South, in letting their notes go to protest,
without fear that it will injure their credit
seriously at home,or that a Sheriff can be found
to take their property to pay northern credi
tors. These circumstances, added to the bad
financial condition of the southern states at
present, are operating very seven ly upon the
credit of all southern buyers who do not bear
tlie most unimpeachable reputation botli us
men of honor and wealth
In the end the South will lie the better
fur this trial. It will make her nrodncintr
classes more suspicions of the reckless tribe of
politieans to whom they have confided their j
political interests ; it will force them to a re
stricted expenditure for a season, which will
help to repair the losses sustained from their
had crops,and it will give a healthyadaantage
to those merchants whose reputation will not!
be affected by any temptations which any im
aginable state of affairs after the election pre
sent to them.
Let us hope that it will bring forwaid a
better class of men to conduct the commerce
of the South, ami likewi-e that it may make ;
our southern fellow citizens less disposed to
lend their ears and confidence to the men who
ply the dirty trade of informers in our north
ern cities,and get their living by supplying
poisoned arrows to used against their rivals iu
business. Kirning / W.
Oil ITIERIA AM) ITS CITiE—SIMM.E VXD Ef- i
N< A' TOIS lI KM IPY KOK HIE DISEASE. —The sin
gular disease which has thus far seemed to
baffle the skill of our best physicians, has be
come so prevalent and has beeu so generally
fatal, that any suggestion iu regard to iis cure
will hardly prove uninteresting. Its causes
arc not known,and thcre.'ore ail treatment has ,
heretofore been merely experimental ; hut its
pathognomonic symptoms arc so diversified and ,
dissimilar, that in many instances the throat I
ef the patient closes,and he dies before his dis
ccase has been discovered.
The diagnostic by which it is known from |
other complaints of the throat, as the forma- j
tion of a membrane, which increases gradually i
until the patient is literally strangled to death. ,
It is sometimes accompanied by ulceration,and
extreme prostration of the entire system, and
at others by neither of these symptoms, yet in
either case i is equally fatal. To arrest the
formation of this membrane would therefore
seem equivalent to cui ing,the disease, and this
in most instances may be done in the following
manner :
Iu the early stages of the complaint which
is always accompanied by a soreness and swell
ing of the throat, let the patient use a simple
solution of salt and water, as a gargle, every
fifteen minutes. At the same time moisten a
piece of flannel with a solution of the same
kind, made warm as the patient can l>ear it,
and bind it around his throat, renewing it as
often as the gargle is administered, and in the
meanwhile sprinkling line salt between the flan
nel and the neck. Use inwardly some tonic
or stimulant, and either separately, or if the
po-tration be great use both together. The
treatment, as may he seen, is extremely simple
and, if used in the earlier stages of the disease
will cfleet a complete cure.— Cinrimui It, Daily

SHOCKIN<. AM> FATAL ACCIDENT — An awful
accident occurred on Friday, the 2UI inst., in
the town of Victory, Cayuga oouritv, N. V.
The wife of Mr. Charles Sayre, while in the
operation of kindling H fire, poured a quantity
of burning fluid on tlie fm*l in order to ignite
it the more readily. The mooieot Ore was ap
plied a puff of wind swept the blaze over the
can containing the fluid,which had been placed
in close proximity, and it instantly exploded,
throwing the contents over her person. Her
ories for assi.-fanee brought her husband to the
spot, who at length succeeded in extinguishing
tiic flames, but not until she was burned in a
horrid manner. She lingered two days in great
agony and expired.
Such a dreadful affair as this should be a
sufficient warning to those who will persist in
the imprudent use ot burning fluid.

Majority for Curtin !
Old Abe Sliirlcd fur Washington !
4,300 in Bradford!
The great battle of Tuesday has result
ed in the complete triumph of the Repub
lican cause. By telegraphic despatches
received at Troy and Wavorly, we learn
the intelligence that Crmrrx is elected
Governor by a large majority, probably
2~>,<>oo. The details are not sufficiently
accurate to publish a list of counties, but
of the general result there is no question.
This County has done nobly, despite all
the circumstances. The majority for
CVHTIX will exceed 4000, and will proba
bly be about dd'i't. The Republicans of
Bradford have done their share towards
this glorious triumph, to be made still
more glorious in November.
The Republican County ticket will have
majorities ranging from 8000 to 4000—
enough for all practical purposes, and de
monstrating that there is a reliable major
ity of thousands against all efforts to af
fect the integrity of the Republican organ
ization.
The following is the vote for President in
I8.")f), and the majorities on Governor as

to rescue the Government from the domin

well, but we can do better. Our vote was
not all polled on Tuesday last. We must
lose no time nor exertions to make certain
of the victory within our grasp. Bradford

THE TONNAGE TAX CASE DECIDED. —The
Supreme Court, at Sunbury, on Wednesday,
delivered an opinion, affirming the discision of
Judge Fcarson, in the suit ngaiust the Pa. R.
R. Co., for the tonuage tax overdue. Judge
Pearson decided the tax to be constitutional,
the Supreme Court, in affirming the decision,
have thus decided that point against the rail
road company. There is a large sum of money
due the State, which will now have to be paid
by the company into the State Treasury.
Heir The Pony Express,with San Francisco
dates of Sept. 2l, arrived at St. Joseph on
Sunday night. The Government dry dock at
Mare Island had been destroyed, by accident,
and it would cost $200,000 to repair it. The
new copper mines of Del Norte County gave
evidence of immense wealth. There was no
new feature in the political canvass of the
State. The mining accounts are encouraging.
The latest dates from Oregon state that the
Senate continued adjourning from day to day
without a quorum. The House had iuvited
the Senate in its d : sorganized state to meet in
Joint Convention to ballot for United States
Senators. The determiuation of the Senate
was not known when the mail left. The news
from the Oregou and British Columbia mines
was very encouraging. An arrival from Japan
at Victoria briugs information that the French
Minister at Yeddo had resigned, being unable
to effect anything with respect to the treaty.
flgyWe have some additional European
uews by the stamer Conriaught, which arrived I
at St. John's Thursday. The King of Naples
was supposed to be still at Capua,which town
was barricaded and armed for resistance. Gar
ibaldi had declared that there was an irrecon
cilable difference between his policy and that
of Count Cavour, and Victor Emanuel is said
to have determined to go to Naples for the
purpose of having a personal interview with
Garibaldi. The arrival of Gen. Govon at
Rome had determined the Dope to remain
there. A proclamation in Hungary, and the
garrisons were replaced 011 a war footing
Austria had concentrated a great force 011 the
l*o, increased the military at and re
striated the use of arms in Venetia. The
French commander in Syria expresses the
opinion that Syria will require foreign occupa
tion for at least two years. The City of Bal
timore,which passed St. John's yesterday after
noon brings two days later uews. Italian affairs
were unchanged. The Garibuldians were pre
paring to attack the Neapolitans on the flights
of Nolturno. Tne Sardinians were bombard
ing Aucona by land and sea,and making furth
er advances in the interior. Breadstuffs were
buoyant and advancing.
THE STATE FAIR last week, at Eltnira, was
greatly diminished in numbers and attraction
by the bad weather which prevailed most ol
the time. Neverthless, it was in many respects
a great success. Fifty thousand people visit
ed the grounds during the week, and all parts
of the State were represented. Some of the
excursion trains left Elmira with several
thousand passengers,and excursion trains were
run east and west three or four times a day.—
The receipts at the Fair grounds, and by the
Erie Railroad must have yielded a harvest of
money, and the race course also yield a large
sum to the Elmira Club who paid the proprie
tors of the horses $2,000. The reeeips for ad
missions were ? 18,000 in excess of this we
have told. 011 the whole, excepting the ani
mals 011 exhibition, to show is reported not as
good as it ought to have been.
A GKNTI.EMAX ROBBED OF OVER $2,000 is
THE CARS — Judge Jessupof l'enusylvaiiia.who
is engaged speaking through thecountry in the
Republican cause, had his pocket picked in
! the cats 011 Saturday morning of a wallet con
l tuiiiing about $2,000 in bank bill. The Judge
remained in Jersey City 011 Friday night, and
on Saturday morning proceeded to Jersey
City Depot for the purpose of returning home.
While 111 the di pt and previous to going up to
the ticket office, Mr. J. took out his wallet
selected a bill from the package and replaced
the wallet iu hi- left pantaloons pocket. This
movement was undoubtedly observed by two
New-York pickpockets who were recognized
as having been present just previ >us to the
j starting of the Central train at 8 a. in., upon
which Mr. J. left, probably accompanied by
! the two thieves. While the ears stopped at
Newark, Mr. Jessup stepped out and assisted
in a lady friend,and while attcinping to regain
his seat a man crowded between him and the
lady,while another pressed against him behind
preventing him for some seconds from moving
either way. The Judge expostulated with
these men for their rudeness, but did not sus
pect their design until he discovered his loss
after having gone about two miles beyond
Newark, and then the strangers were not to
be found upon the cars. The Judge returned
to Jersey City, when officers were put upon
the watch, and every effort will be made to
secure the arrest of the thieves—A". V. Tri

TIIF. Porci.ATION OK Ei AURA. —The town of
Elraira, as shown by the census just published,
contains a population of 8,681. This, it will
be understood, does not include the third
ward of our village, which lies in the town of
Southport. The population of the town,which
embraces very few inhabitants outside the cor
poration limits, is considerably lc.-s than the
population of the village.
Two persons reside in the town who are over
100 years of age. A Mrs. Smith in the west
part of the town who is 101 years old, and
Charles Cray, a colored man, residing within
the limits of the corporation, aged 102 years.
The population of Elmira in 1855, as shown
by the census returns of that year, was B,4SG.
Southport now contains a population of
4,728 ; in 1855 it was returned at 4,479. —
Elmira Gazelle.
THIS PIKE'S PEAK SILVER MINES. —The
Denver City correspondent of the St. Louis
llemocret writes that the excitement in relation
to the alleged discovery of silver mines is very
great. The gold leads are being deserted,and
stories are told of silver ore so ritfh as to yield
$9,000 to the ton. Mr. Hedges, formerly of
Cincinnatti.and others have sent east for silver
furnaces ; andjit is generally believed that the
supply of the metal is exhaustible.
WHAT ESGLANO WILL Do.—lt is the opin
ion in diplomatic circles that England, who is
watching with with intense interest the Con
tinental movements, will aim to maintain her
ascendency as the leading Liberal Power of
Enrope by uniting with France,should Prussia
and Russia join Austria to recover lost ground
in Italy.

MAN KILLED.—On Wednesday morning last
the mangled remains of a man was found near the gas
works, on the Erie railroad, in this village. He had on
rather poor dress. A ticket was found in bis pocket,
which indicated that he had come from Ithaca, and was
1 bound to Klmira. It is supposed that he was drunk and
and had been reposing on the track ami had been run

clock in the morning. He was very much cut to pieces.
His remains were collected, and by Dr. Churchill ordered
to the reception vault. His name is not yet known and
it is impossible, from the bloody mass, to descrilie bis
appearance before his death. A drunk man. supposed to
be from Ithaca, was seen about the depot after the even

tria will declare war against Sardinia,the tloet
of Voung Ituly will forthwith transport a revo
lutionary expedition to the cost of Palmatia,
and Kossuth will once more arouse Hungary
to a struggle for liberty and nationality. Then
if the Czar should once more cast the heavy
sword of Russia into the Austrian scale, Louis
Napoleon will be compelled to march to the
defense of Italy, aud thus the flames of war
sweep from Etna to the Caucasus.
I —The extraordinary career of Garibaldi
1 has surprised the world ; and his success in
Italy may rouse the people of Europe to gen
eral effort for emancipation from monarchical
, oppression. In any event, the recent occur
rences in Italy from a remarkable chapter
in history, which is regarded with equal sur
prise and delight bv those who uherish the
i lea of " popular sovereignty "as a reality to
be ultimately attained by all the people of the
civilized world. The latest intelligence indi
cates. however, that dissention has broken out
between the revolutionary chieftain and the
I Ministers of Sardinia, which may interrupt, or
defeat altogether, any further advance of the
army of liberation. The news from Europe
j fully shares the interest which is felt in the
great political movements in this country.

DIED,
In Towanda twp.. Friday. 2Sth tilt.. HIRAM CHAI'MAN
FOX, in the 44th year of his age.
The deceased was one of our most respeeted and wor
-1 thy citizens. Possessed of an amiable disposition and a
; liberal spirit, and united with one who appreciated his
excellencies and retleeted them in her own character, we
know not another who seemed to have more to live for
than he. But the disease from which he had suffered
I less or more from for many years, of late assumed a vir
• ulcnee which no means employed could counteract.
It was painful to give up wile and child and friends,
but he obtained help from above, not only to relinquish
these cheerfully, but to regard this life as au exiles ; and
i " dying was but going home I"
, "Be ye also ready."
At Troy. October 5, ISGO, after a short illness, ALICE
MAYO, only child of CHARLES C. and ELIZA PAINE.
■ j Weary and sad thy absence now,
O, little bird, that"nestled close
Within thy mother's heart, for one short year—
But now hast tlown !
The lark at early sunrise soar*
With sweetest song, toward Heaven—
So hast thou gone
Unto thy Savior's home on high—
Fond hope I to meet thee there again—
But weary is thy absence now 1

Hope looks beyond the bounds of time,
Where what we now deplore
Shall rise in full immortal prime.
And bloom to fade no more.
