Wednesday, Nov. 11,1 868.
The Election.
We liave gained two more Cougress
tnau, in New York.
Another in New Jersey, and a United
States Senator in place ot' Frelinghuyseu.
And we gained several Congressman in
the South
There is not a republican elected in
Kentucky.
The Florida Legislature selected the
electors, two white and one black negroes.
The Mongrels have lost their two-lhiids
in Congress.
New York elects a Democratic Govern
or and a majority of the Legislature.
It will be perceived, therefore, that the
Democrats have not lost, but gained every
where.
£-4?" The New York Evening Pott
gives the following description of the new
style ot pontage stamps contracted for by
the government, a proof of which has
been exhibited by the contractors. The
two-cent stamps represent a postboy on a
horse running at full speed, illut;ating the
fact that this stamp is mostly used tor dis
patch ietters. On die three cent stamp
there is a finely engraved locomotive. —
This Is surrounded by lines of lightning,
indicating the speed with which letters are
carried on which this stamp is used.—
The five-cent stamp has an excellent por
trait of Washington. The ten-cent stamp
has an excellent microscopical copy of the
painting of the signing of the Declaration
of Independence, bringing in the Rotunda
at Washington. The twelve cent stamp,
mostly used tor toreign postage, has a pic
: Cure of a steamer at sch. The ihirtv-c-nt
| stamp has a copy of a painting of the Mir—
i render of Rurgoyne, hanging in the rotun
da of the National Capitol. One of the
j characteristics of the (tamos manufactured
by this company is that the iuk Used pre-
I vents persons washing and using the
stamps the second time. The fibre in
| the centre of the stamp is broken, com
| pletclv, slid they adhere better, while the
ink <>f cancellation sinks into the paper.
The engravings on these stamps are re
marks! le copies ot the historical pictures
i and bear the te.l of microscopical i-xatui

Of it Thoughts.—Did it ever occur to
the reader how much of human happiness
I depends oil the interchange of thoughts?
I How much of the joy of existence, in fact,
I depetids upon the current of one s own in—
; dividual thoughts > Or what a wonderful,
mysterious faculty is the same human
1 thought ? It is indeed a most maivelous
i attribute, verging closely to omnipresence.
How easily it overleaps time, and how
| completely it annihilates space. It is now
i here, now there, in New York and in New
Orleans, at I'aris and at Canton, ail at the
same instant. This moment it is fathom
ing the depth of the ocean, the next count
ing the stars of the firmament. Now del
ving amid the difficulties of abstruse sci
ence. then playing joyously in the dowry
fields of imagination. Here it worships
gladly at the shrine of home duties, and it
watches tenderly by the sick bed of a
distant friend. Now it dwells amid the
endearing associations of earth, and anon,
jin the twinkling of an eye, it is holding
■ holy converse with departed ones in the
very ante chambers of the skies. Who
j that exercises this wonderful power can
doubt the divinity of his origin or the im
mortality of his being ?

In 1645 John Elliott ! r't his home and
his wife, who had li >rn hint • leven child
ren, in Putnam county, Indiana, suddenly j
a; d in a passion at s une slight inisundcr- 1
; standing that bad occurred h rwoeii th<-,n.!
He gave his family i> intimation ot his
departure previous to leaving, and they
never heard of him again until the elapse
ot twenty-six years.
The wife believed her husband dead, and
alter two years waiting she gave him up as
lost to Iter forever, and married a respect
able citizen ot the county narn<-.| Raliou, j
and has resided happily enough with him !
j near Cloverdale ever since, until last week. '
It was then that the first ti lings of her
supposed deceased husband were received
I by her
It was in this wise that these tidings
j reached her: A letter came to her through
j the hands of a person who was a stranger.
; This letter set forth that if h" would visit '
a little town several milt-s distant from
; Lloverdale she would meet end old and
j very dear friend, and urged her not to !
I omit making the visit at a certain lime
j The letter impressed her strangely, and she
j concluded to visit the town named at, the
I designated time, and did so,
I \\ hat was her surptis -on entering the
house where the meeting was appoititid,
|to meet her fir.-t husband.. Tweutv-six
| years had p-issid, and tunc ha.l left its im
| press upon the man, yet she lecognizcd
him at ouce, and threw herself into his
i arms, for not withstanding she was n >w six
| ty eight years of age, the sight of her first
choice vvarme i the loving pulses of her
heart and broke open tbe fountain of her
; affections that had been so long sealed up.
I Slie threw her arms around Ins neck, kiss
j ed his wrinkled cheek, and wept I ke a girl,
, the tears of joy
The husband's heart wa- al-o melted in
Ito tenderness, aud he embraced his aged
j hut long deserted wife with all the tender
j ness of a young and ar lent lover. The
past was talkedfover, tie- sudden disappear
ance, long absence mid continued silence
of the husband explained, and then and
there U was agreed to spend the remnant
of their lives together.
Mr. Elliott accounts for his absence bv
I a visit to California, where he secured a
| fortune, thence came to Lincoln County,
\ in this State ami bought a tine farm, upon
1 which he ln resided since 1859
Mr. Raliou was very loath to give up
his wife, but tina.lv compromised. Mr,
and Mrs. Elliott pass -iI through the city
yesterday, taking the Crab Orchard train
for their home in Lincoln County.
A Republican form of Government.
lt'theie he any American citizen who
can lead the fidlowing paragraph without
j a blu-di, it niu-l be because his eoiiscience
I has betd scared by sectional hatred--"so
| brazed that it is proof and bulwaik against
I sense
"Tennessee was the the first leeon-trnot
ed State. More than fifty thousand voters,
\ the most intelligent men of th** State, are
1 disfranchised, whilst all tbe negroes vote,
and aie the governing power. Violence
and anarchy are the conseijucncc. It i<
a humiliating spectacle. It is fiightfu',
too, as well as filled with mournful augu
ries of the future of our country. Who,
eight years ago, could have believed that
ever the intelligent citizens of entire
Slates would he subjected by military pow
er and placed under the feet of negroes !
;—of African barbarians!—of an unpro
gressive race of savages incapable of civ
ilization ! And that this execrable cruelty,
and prostitution of even piiucipie on
' i which tiie American Union was founded,
should be called guaranteeing to States a
republican form of government !"
No moie infamous principles was ever
■ asserted than the one upon which the pol
icy of "rcconstiuction" is based—that by
an act of rebellion, Southern men for/cited
all their (inalienable) right*. Washing
ton was a rebel and a slave-hold-1; Adams,
Hancoak, Franklin, Jefferson, .Madison and
Patrick Henry were rebels, aud will it be
pretended that the failure of the war of
I the revolution would have j <sby deprived
them of the right of a speedy trial by jury
before a legal court ? And it not convic
ted of crime, could they justly have been
deprived of the rights <>f citizens ?—Rt.
CKOP KKPOKTS. — The report of the De

The oat crop is light in the Eastern, Mid

not a full averaga in Michigan, Wisconsin,
and lowa. In the other States the pro-'
1 duct is above the average. The total pro
' duct of corn will not be what was hoped in
the early season or what is needed for the 1
country with a rapidly increasing popula
tion, but somewhat larger in quantity than '
last year, Returns indicate la or 20 per'

DARING ATTEMPT TO ROB.
Two Hundred Dollars Reward Offered.
One <>l the boldest attempts to rub a
bank occurred in this village in broad Jay.
liglit. on Monday afternoon, the "id inst.,
that has ercr been recorded. Between
the hours of three and four o'clock p. M.,
a stranger entered tlm Geo. Washington
bank, and inquired of the teller. Mr. Ge>.
Eaton, a y<uug mm about eighteen years
of age, for tile proptielor, Mr. Geo
Patterson. jr. Being informed that he
was le.t in. the stranger announced him
self as a special Government detective,
and stated that lie had warrants for their
ariest on the charge of issuing counterfeit
limner. "Very well." said the teller. "I
will lock up and go with von to rind Mr.
Patterson," and with this lie gathered up
all the money and commenced putting it
in the vault. "No," said the detective,
starting to go behind the counter, "I must
effect your arie-ts separately." George
directed him to remain outside the coun
ter while he locked the vault telling hiin that
lie might then attest him ; but the man
didn't do so. George, however, had tie
vault locked before lie could reach him.
flic detective then hand cuffed him. took
itiin into the b.ick room of the batik, lock- ,
ed ail tiie doors,and tiding the keys, went j
to arrest .M r. l'atters u. Me immediate
ly returned, however, and at once pro !
eeeded to bu-mess II d ling a revolver i
to George's head, lie said, * Young man, j
you may as well know my business at
•once—-I want the money of this bank or I
will blow your brains out.' George re-I
plh d, • Blow, you can't have any money."
He knew that if lie let him get the money
death was certain, for the robber vv mid '
then kiil him to get lid of the on v wit
ness against him. It hi refused to give
up the money, that would he -ave.i any
way, and iie. stood a little belter chance !
of having his life saved. In vain the rob
ber threat -m d, and getting angry com
menced to throttle George. George then
cried fai help, and the man pulled out an
arrangement to gag him with. A scufli:
ensued, during which the robber cot his
face badly scratch d, ati I if George itad
not been I.and cuffed would have un
doubtedly been overuowered. Me then | 1
offered to compromise, but George still j
refuse ! to surrender u cent id the funds.
lie could not get into the vault unless
the teller unlocked it for him, and becom
ing alarmen at tiie d'-lay occasioned by j
his per-istetit refusal to do so, be finally \
told George that he didn't want to kiii j
him. and that if he would promise not to
expose him. ami would give him a chance
to get away, lie would release him ; and
that if lie would not do tiiis, lie should be
obliged to murder him. George had to
agree to this, and soon after the two
emerged from tlm bank and together walk
ed over as far as the Erie passenger depot.
Here the teller left him and crossed over
i the street.expecting to find Mr. Patterson
in hi- ball. Mr. i\ was not there, how
ever, ami George then went to his house.
Not finding hiin there, he did not stop to
tell evil Mr. I*. the circumstances, but
hurrh d back to the depot whore lie found
him Heie lie qoickiy related to Mr. 1'
all the facts, and tncasutes were at once
instituted for tin arrest of the would be
thief. Mr."Government Detective,'" how
ever, had takee due .'(lvan I age of the d day
and his w Inocabonts are as yet undiscover
ed. lie was traced to Painted Post,
where a pers in answering his description
was seen at the depot bv Dr. A. X. llob
bias, of this village. From there, lie evi
dently struck across the country, and is
undoubtedly making his way thtough
wo"ds and by roads to sonic obcure lo
cality. He wore a fashionable round top,
bw crown Bat, and a short, black, close
fitting sack cost. His face was shaved
clean, and must, now bear th" marks of
having been badly scratched. At Painted
Po-t lm had a patch on bis nose and cheek,
and carried in his hand a very small trav
elling bag or satchel. He is of medium
size, and apparently trom twenty-rive to
thirty years of age.
Two hundred dollars reward are ottered
for his arrest, ono hundred by Mr. Patter
sen, and one hundred by the village of
Corning.
The fi-!!ow was evidently accompanied
by one or two accomplices, and when lie
Rocked the teller in the room to go, as lie
-said, to arrest .Mr. Patterson, he merely
went to a front window to see if there
was any danger attending further proceed
, ings.
A stranger who pretended to be an
agent for the sale of Herring's safes,
called at the bank two or three hours prc
' vious to the occurrence, and left a circular,
which he afterwards took away without
waiting for Mr. P. to see it. Tins man
visited all the banks in the same way, and
acted rather strangely for an honest man.
Another suspicious loolfing stranger, who
made himself familiar with one or two of
our old citizens, and talked a good deal
about the South, and who was apprehend
; cd by officer Boylan, by order of Mr. P it
I teison, took his arrest very coollv, an i
was of course discharged for want of evi
dence sufficient to hold him. Both of
these fellows left town on the first train.
The ' government dectective" probably |
j carries in his little hand satchel, a disguise
i and tools to work with, etc. The teller
I evidently believed in the start that lie real
:ly was an officer of the government, as
banks are occasionally inspected by reve
nue officers. But lie couldn't see any ne
cessity for tli" handcuff business.
the affair was over and he was released,
he naturally bad considerable delicacy
about making it public until lie lis I con
sulted witii his employer about doing so.
He had not only disliked to have it known
that iie had been fooled, but he did not
know but Mr. Patterson would prefer to
have it kept quirt. Theto had bepn no
money stoieu and considering all the cir
cumstances he concluded that it would be
best to tell Ins employer about it firs', and
then he could do as he pleased about it.
lie tboqght, too, be could see Mr. P. in
time to cause his arrest, and if Mr P. bad
been at the hall, where he supposed he
was, he wouid have done so But we
hope Mr. Detective will lie detected yet.

£-ts' I'he total expenditures of the gov
ernment ol tin- United States from March
•I, 1780 to June 30 1861—a period of
seventy two years—amounted to £1,700,-
OOt),OoO. The total expenditures of the
same government from July I, 186-5, t>
June .'lO, 1869, a period of four years
will amount to rM,600,001.0 it). The
first period includes the expens •- of one
war with England, one war with Mexico,
and half a dozen wars with th • In Maris.
I'iie la-t period includes the exo n-es of
no xvar, the I nited States being at peae •
with all the world. The first period em
braces more than fifty years of Democrat
ic rule. The last period includes four
i years of Radical rule, during which the
Democracy were represented in the gov
ernment only by a minority so small as to
he utterly powerless for good or bad
Immigration.— The statistics of the
loreigners who have landed on our shores
during the last year disclose some new
features. Formerly the Irish were iy far
the most numerous class of emigrants,,—
Ba-t year they only numbered 65,134,
and the Germans 117,591. Tiie English
xvere more than one-half ihe number of
Iri-h, having readied 33,012. Of all
other nations, the total was 29,204, ma
king in all 242.731 emigrants, i'he in
creased emigration of North German* i*
said to have risen fioui their d:--*:is'ac
tion xvith the Prussian rule. An immense
exodus ot peasants, many of tfiern in com
fortable circumstances, i* reported from
Hesse, the cause being the great increase
in taxation, flio ( ainniis-ioiiers of emi
gration have exposed a system of selling
passages to emigrant* iu Europe at pi ices
above the actual rite*. Most instances of
this fraud occurred in Franco an i G-r
--manv, chiefiy in Havre—none i.i Great
Britain, and only one in Ireland.
