' " This ccleelial constellation cut qnite a con
spicuous figure in the crude astronomy of an
cient times. Up to a recent period it remained
a sort of landmark in the heavens; but the ob
serving may have noted its gradual decline, end
final disappearance, within the last six months.
Its h’eaveply vanishing was the occasion of-its
earthly appearing; for, strange as it may seem,
Canis Minor, whilom of tbe celestial, is now a
1)
terrestrial visitant and sojourner.
(We use the term, Canis Minor,” in ac
cordance with the system which require# that
Latin should be.used where English would be
more universally intelligible.) ’ ,
The. history of the lost Pleiad has never been
written. Its fate is wrapt in awful mystery.
Said to have been one of seven Immortals, sis
ters, she condescended to bestow her love upon
a mortal, and was.no more seen to join in the
starry dance.
But the hietory,of the translation of Canis
Minor may be writtert. There is a tradition! to
the effect that the gods were wont to descend
from the celestial spheres, and mingle in the
’affairs of mortals, on great occasions.’ The de
scent of Canis Minor may be taken ae confirm
atory of that old tradition.
' When Cams Minor forsook the skies for the
round earth, he became incarnate, walked up
right, took on the habits of humanity in some
respect?, yet retained the chief characteristics
which his name indicates. He soon wrote him
self down—“ Canis Minor, P. B." It is suffi
cient to say that’the P. B. does not-stand for
Perfect Brick.
Now, soon after he became a resident of this
planet, be fell into-bad company; rather let us
say that ha obeyed the laws of gravitation and
went after his kind. He barked, for a season,
on his own account, in his little way. That
did not pay; on the contrary, it,brought him
only a kick, or a, whipstroke, from everybody.
And at last he found himself without a friend
among reputable folk.- ‘
One day, being l on a stroll, he passed the
kennel of Canis Major, a relative only in spe
cies. and not individually. • So overjoyed was
he at meeting with one of his kind, that he
could not repress a yelp of joy. Heating this,
Canis Major aroused himself, and after survey
ing his customer, said;
“ Friend, I seem to ‘ have seen you before;!
possibly a recollection of callow youth. What
can yon do T" ,
•* Bow-wow !• lean bark like any Canis Mi
nor. I can annoy decent people and make ev
erybody hate the*sight of me. I cab get at
the first principles of things. I can do any
thing for my employer, and for small pay."
v “ Very good said' Canis Major, still look
ing at his interlocutor sidewise; “how is it
about choring—ahem I—neighborhood and po
litical—ahem '.—dirty work ?”
“ Just my forte,” said Canis Minor. ‘ I
can,nip the heels of the big dogs that trouble
you, and reduce story-telling to a fine art.”
“ Come in,” said Ganie Major, with a good
humored yawn. “ You’re the man I’ve been
looking fur. You shall hare the -bones of my
dinner, and feast your fill on notoriety,”
And Canis Minor, P. 8., went in.
And be served Canis Major faithfully. If
there was’a sticky job to lie done. Major pun-,
chad Minor, and the job was done, and Minor
got the kicks, curses, and dirty hands; but
Major lay hack in his cosy chair in his pleasant
home, and chuckled over the power behind the
throne; and rejoiced that it was no longer nec
essary to soil his hands with dirty work. So
he' patted Canis Minor on) the back, and when
hp discovered any one inclined to rebuke bim,
unwittingly, by the doing' of a generous deed,
, Canis Major pointed him out to Canis Minor,
and said, “ S’boy 5”
And Canis Minor, P. 8., S’boyed.
Now Canis, Major aspired to wag his tail
’.among dogs of large size.. Really, he wae Ma
jor only among the olhse Minor. "With the
class Major he was known as a toady and reck
oned a snob. Sometimes Sirius came within
his scope of vision, and he made Sirius his
grandest bow—wow. But the
on serene, regardless of the greeting. Then
, Canis Major swallowed the,bitter cud |)f con
tempt, and punched Canis Minor. Then Pro
cyon yelped along the brilliant track of Sirius,
bat it was known that Major barked by prosy.
The alliance was capital. It was capital for
Major, but not comfortable for Minor; for, in
times of public excitement the latter stood to
receive the scorn end contempt intended for
Major. The latter set in his cosy chair and
dispensed the bntter-and-honjey of political
warfare, while hie proxy, Canis Minor, ran
about the streets as a walking poster, renting
horrible threats of violence and blood. Bat
the people made no mistakes ; they understood
that the butter-and-honey and • tbe rampant
treason came from the same pot.
Dear reader, Canis Minor is tbe type of a
class. If you have not seen him you have
heard hie bark. Before-tbo election his bark
was like that of the little dog that rushes out
at a passing wagon ; but since the Bth of No
vember bis bark is—“ ti-i,-ti-5,-ti-i-i-i-i--i 1”

This age has witnessed no grander victory
for civil liberty thnn wa chronicle this week.
Out of 234 electors Abraham Lincoln and An
drew Johnson have 213. and George B. Mc-
Clellan and George H. Pendleton 21. The lat
ter have carried but three States—New'Jersey,
Delaware, and Kentucky, Their majority in
those States foots up about 30,000. Mr. Lin
coln’s majority is about 420,000, over them.
The army vote averages about, three Lincoln
to one McClellan, in the Potomac army. The
vote of the army under Sherman will probably
give a larger proportionate majority for Lin
coln. This is glory enough for one campaign.
We give below the official canvass of Tioga
county, omitting tfao poll .of Fall Brook, which
was not received by the Return Judges. The
poll is alleged to have been illegal, the election
officers' not being elected according to law.
We gain 564 votes on the October election, the
Mackiles 218. This about 1-7th per cent, for
each party. Our gain on majority is 346.
The army vote will, we think, carry our major
ity up to 3,100. Here are the official figures:

Here is a gem from the Copperhead paper in
Bedford county. It appeared on the eve of
the late election;
“ Tho democrats elect their candidates and
the abolition ballot-box Bluffers and army ag
ents *• count them out." • Wo will settle this
matter after the Presidential election. Let
them count us out if they dare. As sure as
heaven bends above, if-Lincoln is re-elected by
fraud, there will be n day Of reckoning. Nev
er mind I the Democratic National Convention
has not adjourned sine die.” ,
As Mr. Lincoln is overwhelmingly elected
vfithout the army vote; and as there was a
fair and undisturbed election, in which both
parties voted freely—wo presume our Copper
head fellow-citizens will not allege that Mr.
Lincoln’s election was fraudulently brought to
pass. However, as vile men perpetrate vil
lainy on the merest pretexts, they may be road
.enough to hurry up that "day of reckoning.”
In such ease, these threatened will do wisely
to put their houses in order. The people will
not wait orders from Washington. They will
cut red tape and proceed promptly. And if
the Copperhead National Convention assem
bles for any other than a legitimate purpose,
we trust that it may be adjourned in the man--
ner in which its late candidate, Gen. McClel
lan, adjourned the.traitor legislature of Mary
land in 1861. |
There Is one thing that we-have intended to
say after the smoke of the battle should have
cleared away. It is, that In the Congressional
contest before the people, Vn' this District, Mr.
Wilson was, practically, the only candidate in
the field. True, a man scmed Wright was os
tensibly put forward by the Copperheads, as
Wilson’s competitor; but it was Wright’s dol
lars. not Wright, for -which the Copperhead
vote was cast. Mr. Wright has as few qualifi
cations for the position as almost any man who
could be named in the District. A quiet, me
diocre gentleman of moderate business-capaci
ty, he figures among moneyed men open & for-
tune acquired by the sagacity of bis partner
in speculations. Some $20,000 was wanted to
make the campaign in the District. Few of
the aspiring Copperheads had it to spare. Mr.
Wright hnd it. Hence, his cash-box was put
in nomination, and the hard-handed working
men of that party voted for it. The fact may
be humiliating, but is no less a fact.
WAR NEWS.
We have little neta of active operations, yet
a rumor that SheJtßan bas burned Atlanta,
severed bis communications with Chattanooga,
and is moving directly on Charleston, looks to
ward sharp work.' Sherman is said to bo do
ing well, whatever'he is about.
.The rout of Price, in Missouri, seems to have
been complete. Grant is quietly perfecting his
arrangements for destroying Lee. An assault
by the rebels upon oar lines, recently, resulted
in the repulse of the rebels with great loss.
The pirate Florida, which has inflicted so
much damage upon our commerce, is captured
at last by one of onr war vessels. The rebel
ram, Albemarle, which guarded Plymouth, N.
C., was destroyed Ijy Lieut. Cushing, of our
navy, a few days ago.

TREASON IN INDIANA*
Confession of tho Deputy Oraad Comman
der of the Sons of Liberty.
Indianapolis, Not. 4,1864
Horace Heffron, Deputy Grand Commander
of the Order of the Sons of Liberty in. Indi
ans, who, for some weeks has been on trial
here for. participation in a treasonable conspi
racy, to-day turned State evidence, ahd made
a startling revelation of the schemes of the
Order. He said nobody bnt democrats bad
been admitted into the Order, or would be, if
they applied, confirmed the previous evidence
of tbo military organization in the Order, of
the appointment of a Major General to com
mand it. Di;. Bowles, one of the accused,
was cotnroandfer-in-ehief, with a staff, of which
Dr. James P. Wilson, recently arrested, was
Adjutant General. He said that a committee
of thirteen was appointed to prepare, an insur
rection, and that the insurrection was intend
ed to release the rebel prisoners in the North
west, arm them from the government arsenals,
overturn the State government, kill Governor
Horton, or hold him as a hostage for captured
insurrectionists; and then form the Northwest
into a separate confederacy. He said he was
told by Adjutant-General Wilson, of General,
Bowles staff that five hundred thousand dollars
had been sent by rebel agents in Canada into
the Northwest to purchase arms for the Order,
and that two hundred thousand dollars had
been left in Indiana in the hands of Dodd and
John C. Walker, State agent. Wilson showed
Heffron one thousand dollars he received from
Bowles to buy arms in Washington county. —
Heffron further swore that the committee of
•thirteen had appointed ten men to kill Govern
or Morton, and a few days since the Governor
received a letter signed by one of tbs men,
declaring that the writer and his associates
were sworn to kill him and would do it.
Heffron’s evidence astounded the court, though
prepared by the previous evidence for part of
it. If Governor Morton was killed. Dr. Athen,
Secretary of State, and a member of the Order,
was to take his place, as provided by law in
case of the death dr disability of the Governor
and Lieutenant Governor.
Natvsaitzis’o Discharged Soidiers.-D does
not seem to be generally known that in- 1 the
year 1862 an important amendment was made
to the naturalization laws of the United States,
by which-an alien of the age of, twentyone
years and upwards, who had enlisted, or might
thereafter enlist in the armies of the United
States, either in the regular or volunteer forces,
may become a citizen by virtue of his services.
The act was passed July 17,1862. It secures
to any alien why has been a soldier and has
been honorably discharged, the right of citi
zenship upon bis own petition, without a pre
vious declaration of Intentions. He must 'prove
that he has resided in the United States one
year before his-application, and also prove bis
good moral character in the ordinary manner,
and mast also produce proof that he has ' been
honorably discharged. There are many aliens
who have been in the service and whoso time
has expired, to whom this privilege will apply,
ond it is as well that the terms of the laws
should be generally understood.
The. twenty-inch Rodman gun recently
gent from Fort Pitt Works to Port Hamilton
New York, was tried on Wednesday last. The
first shot was a blank one, with one hundred
pounds of powder. The recoil was two feet,
and the sound not greater than a ten-pound
Parrott. The second shot was fitly poisads of
powder and a solid shot weighing half a ton,
or 1080 pounds- The shot was driven six or
eight hundred yards,, when it dropped in the
bay, riootehetted two or three times knocking
up flashes of spray as large as a ship in full
sail, and twice as high. The third shot was
with {ope hundred pounds of powder and a
half ton ball. It was fired at at an angle of 26
degrees, and dropped into the water four miles
off. The range is jet to be tested. It is ex
pected to be betweed five nnd six miles. One
shot from such a gun at the short distance be
tween the fort’ and the channel, would come
near finishing any vessel of war, wooden or
iron clad.
