Judge White has just decided the case, admitting the vote of Corydon township by which Barr had one ma jority, bnt throwing out four illegal votes for Barr and three for Parson, thus nuking a tie.

HOWLAND; Notice Marion anh fits Jfcen, THE ANXIOUSLY-LOOKED FOEAND IN TENSELY EXCITING TALE OF THE REVOLUTION! NOW READY! THE SWAMP FOX; OE THE Rebel Riflemen. A TALE OF THE TIMES & FEATS OF MARION. BY GEORGE ALBANY, ESQ.,! Author of “The Orange-Girl of Venice,” “The Swamp Steed,” “Bnbe the Ranger," Ac., Will be commenced in the NEW YORK MERCURY, OF SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1859, Now Ready at all News Depots and Bookstores. No character in history offers a better for the roman-, cer, than that of Marion, or, as he was familiarly colled, “THE! SWAMP FOX/’ from the immense ingenuity of bis stratagems and devices for misleading and deceiving the enemy, his thorough knowledge of the woods, forests, fields, and swamps of bis native region, where he and bis gallant band were perfectly at home, while their enemies be came lost and bewildered in the labyrinthine mazes of undergrowth and morass. The story above announced Is a true reflex of those scenes and times, and its* talented author has most viv idly portrayed, therein, the many exciting incidents and accidents of a tenacious and indefatigable struggle for Liberty,pursued under the most adverse circum stances. Every chapter is replete with exciting and romantic interest, historically accurate, but with a sparkling web of poetry woven through it, which makes it at once a brilliant story and a veracious record. The strongly-written descriptions of events —the ambuscade—the sudden sortie —the night attack —the wild charge and repulse—are all wonderful as examples of word-painting, and equally true to the actual facts. In addition to these scenes of heroism and lofty da ring, the SWAMP FOX is not without the gentle charm of a love-story, for the working and the effects of the tenderpossion are depicted in its pages,as truly and artistically as the sterner emotions, rendering the tale a perfect picture of life and character in the Days of the Revolution, which cannot fail to appeal to the admiration, and gratify the taste of every reader who has a spark of true patriotism in his soul. The peculiar power and interest with which the gif ted author, GEORGE ALBANY, ESQ., describes the thrilling period, is a guarantee of excellence of truly magnificent Historical Romance. The vivid delinea tion of character, the depth of thought, the faciuation bf style, the picturesque beauty of description, and, in a word, the power of language be commands, all com bine to render him one of the most brilliant writers of the age, while his great appreciation of and sympathy with the pioneers in the cause of universal Übertygive him a grasp of Revolutionary subjects posessed fay very' few others. This' has enabled him, in the SWAMP FOX, to exhibit the life and adventures of ’V HIABION AND HIS MEM as they really were, and to do fit homage to that delib erate valor, that unyielding patriotism, which, in a few noble spirits, defying danger, and above the scenes of privation, could keep alive the sacred fires of liberty in the thick swamps and dense and gloomy forests— asking nothing, yielding nothing, and only leaving the field the better to re-enter it for the combat! We take to ourselves some credit, for having secured for our columns the chefs d’ccuvres of this master's pen, but we intend to give the NEW YORK MERCURY a still higher prestige than ever. We believe it is al ready tbe BEST AND BAREST STORY PAPER in the world, and we contemplate making it betterand better every successive number, in spite of all ex pense and opposition. ENGAGED EXCLUSIVELY FOR- THE Kiw mm. msmwM* At a very heavy expense we have succeeded in securing the CELEBRATED POET, AUTHOR AND TOURIST, whose charming letters from foreign lands have long kept tbe world delighted and interested, BAYARD TAYLOR ESQ., who will hereafter make the Merccrt the only recip ient of his inestimable SKETCHES OF TRAVEL, one of which will appear EVERY WEEK. We have tbe happiness to announce, therefore, that in tbe NEW YORK MERCURY FOR APRIL 30, 1859, will be commenced STRAY CHAPTERS -OF LIFE AND TRAVEL, BY BAYARD TAYLOR. the initiatory article being entitled “The First Journey I Ever Hade,'’ which is considered by the author —as itunquestionably will be by the public—to be his most interesting ad venture since the original outset of the GREAT AMERICAN TRAVELER, and cannot fail to be of interest to all. These delight ful articles will be | BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED with original designs, in the highest style of tbe art, portraying tbe scenes and characters described in the most graphic manner. This new feature is a most valuable and instructive one, suited to both young and old, and will render THE NEW YORK. MERCUBY worthy of a leading place, at (he most refined and ele gant of all FAMILY PAPERS. Since the first announcement of our engagement of MR. TAYLOR, we have received a floop of inquiries from all parts of the Union, relative to the enterprise, showing that public expection is on tip-toe to learn the particulars regarding the character of his contri butions. As it is impossible for us to answer these in detail, we can only refer our friends and correspon-1 dents to the New York Mercury for April 30, where thefirstof these sparkling and popular sketches will be found. As no other American has over traveled go exten sixely as Bayard Taylor, and no other traveler can see things with the eyes of America, we need not fur ther etklogize the value of these emenatlons of his mind and observation, to the reading public. It Is ■sufficient to say that they will greatly enhance the high character that the MERCURY has ever maintained, and that has heretofore rested upon many causes, some of the most important of which may bo summed up as follows .* THE MERCURY is the oldest and most firmly es tablished litoraryjournal in America. THE MERCURY, during the Twenty-one years of its prosperous existence, has published & large number of popular original tales, romances, and sketches, than all its imitators combined. THE MERCURY must be seen, to he appreciated, and wo are fully determined to make its name “fa miliar as a household world,” with every family in the land.
