    whiskers neariy burned ofi‘, but that was all the
damage done to me. My blow, though struck
st random, had proved a. severe one. My
knife had gone into the left side of his neck,
inside of the collar bone. The knife must have
reached his heart, for as I drew out. to strike
again, he fell on me with his whole weight,
and his blood spiriing all over my face. He
gave one quiver, and stretched out his length
and lay per-teeny still—shone dead ! Thewhole
transaction did not lake three quarters of a
minute.
The report of the pistol having aroused the
company, every man sprung to his arms. Some
were looking for the mules, while others were
asking who fired the shot, and where the Indi
ans were. I called to the boys to lake the dead
man 011' of me, for I was as weak as a. child A
couple of them did as I requested. while Others
threw fresh sage brush on the half smouldering
amp fire. and we soon had plenty of light to
see what had happened. I told the boys all
about what had cccurrefi. We found all the
mules in their places but. mule, which was
staked ofl’ about. twenty yards from the camp,
with one of the other hays’ saddle and bridle
on her. I went into the river and cleansed
myself from his blood, and then sat down by
the camp fire, where I remained till morning
unable to sleep.

Spuriims Electoral Tickets.
We warned the Democracy the other day that
certain parties were busily engaged in circu
lating the straight-out Douglas electoral ticket.
Since then we have received a letter from a
prominent Democrat in a neighboring county,
enclosing a spurious electoral ticket, differing
in some names from the original straight-out
ticket withdrawn by the Douglas Committee.
This ticket is headed “Richard Vans” and
“John Cessna.” Beyond this it is not the
straight-out Douglas ticket, but a mongrel affair,
the object of which evidently is to strike at the
head of our ticket, Gen. Geo. M. Keim. The
regularly nominated elector in each district is
kept on, in the tickets sent to that particular
district, they appearing to he changed to en
trap Democrats in different localities. We sup
pose that these tickets have been sent into
every district in the State, and Democrats can
not be too watchful in guarding against them.
To the Friends of Breckinridge.
The pretended Douglas men, under the lead
of Passer—who are really LINCOLN men in dis
guise—are engaged in circulating the Straight
ont Douglas ticket, which was withdrawn 'by
the Douglas State Committee; and we observe
that several of the extreme Douglas papers in
the State publish the names of the Breckiuridge
electors on the Reading ticket. with the evident
object of suggesting cutting. We trust thatno
friend of Breckinridge will resort to retaliation,
but that all will vote for the Reading electoral
ticketwithont scratching asingle name. Some
of these disorganizers, sailing under Douglas
colors, imagine that they are playing a very
shrewd game, and that by cutting the Breakin
ridge electors, the Douglas electors will obtain
the largest vote in the State, and they will be
enabled to point to the result as an evidence of
Douglas” strength and Breekinridge’s weakness.
But this is really a very shallow dodge, which
can impose upon no man. If the friends of
Breckinridge vote for the whole Reading ticket,
and‘ several thousand Forney men out Ggona;
M. Kent, and thereby Rxcnam) Vaux receives
more votes than KEDI, what will it show? In
stead of being an evidence that—Yum ran bet
ter than Knm, because he was for Douglas and
Kins was for Breckinridge, it will only show
the superior fidelity of the Breckinridge men
to the Democratic organization in voting for
Van, notwithstanding his friendship for Doug
las. Such a result would be an advertisement
to the whole world of the pertidy of a, certain
munber of professed supporters of Douglas,
and nothing more. In case YA ex receives more
votes than Kant, he will owe that superiority
to the friends of Breckim-idge supporting him
in a solid body. The, attempt of a few disor
ganizers to make an issue on these electors will
avail them nothing. They are welcome to all
the “rial to be derived from this base busi
ness.
We have no doubt that the movement to
out the Bredkinridge electors on the Reading
ticket is confined to a few disorganizers of the
Forney-Launmn stamp, and Hm! the macs- a?
the Douglas men will support the ticket as it
was formed in good faith. We caution the
friends of Breckinridge not to be betrayed into
any act of retaliation, but to vote the whole
Reading ticket. By this means they Will tes
tify their devotion to the Democratic organiza
tion, and ascertain the exact strength of the
diyorganizers. Their. record for the future will
be a fair and honorable one, unstained by a
ginglc act of infidelity.
Col. Cufifin illilléét-zm.
COL. ANDREW G. Crnrix, Governor elect of
Pennsylvania, instead of departing this life at
Boston as was rumored, appeared in that city,
full of life and hope, and addressed the Repub
licans in Faneuil Hall on Saturday evening
last. The conquering hero of the Pennsylva
nia. fight repeated, within those hallowul pre
cincts, the Tarifi‘ speech used with so much
effect to blind the people of this State to the
true character of the issues presented for their
determination. He might have branched out
freely upon the slavery question, and given
the South 3. very severe scoring; but he mer
cifully refrained, and went- no turther than to
urge the election of the notorious Anson Bur—
lingame. One peculiar feature of this meet
ing was that Gov. Banks presided. His sen
sations may be imagined when Col. Cur-tin un
dertook to show how Pennsylvania. interests
had long been injured. It does not appear
that Gov. Banks, the free—trader—Gov. Banks,
the Speaker of the House in 1857, when the
present Taritf was passed—Gov. Banks, the
engineer of that severe blow to Pennsylvania
interests, gave any evidence that he felt the
severe rebuke administered to him right in the
face of the Republicans of Boston; so we are
only permitted to imagine his internal emo
tions. Perhaps he took occasion to remind the
hero of the Pennsylvania battle, after the
meeting, that Massachusetts was not Pennsyl
vania, and that it would be advisable for him
not to repeat those old speeches, admirably
suited to the latitude of Pennsylvania, bntnot
at all adapted to Massachusetts. But we are
not permitted to know what transpired behind
the scenes. The Boston Post gives the follow
ing account of the meeting:
' CoL. Comm 1): FANEUIL HALL—The Black
Republicans gathered in full force last. Satur
day evening, to listen to the Governor elect of
Pennsylvania, and the demonstration was of
rather a peculiar character.
The President, Governor Banks, deignea a
passing compliment to the Republican States
“all along shore” for their attitude, but he
placed the Republican victories of two States,
which he termed “ Conservative” States—ln
diana and Pennsylvania—high above all others;
and this element of conservatism was dwelt upon
with emphasis. Col. Curtin, in his speech, told
how he had just come out of the great struggle
in Pennsylvania; how the question in this
State turned on the tarifl"; how Pennsylvania.
interest-s had long been injured; how, by the
aid of Massachusetts, a taritf, at length recogni
zing Pennsylvania, had been prepared and
adopted by the House; how Pennsylvania then
knocked at the doors of aDemocratic Senate to
have this tarifi‘ passed; how Pennsylvania was
then refused; how Pennsylvania, this October,
had given a verdict on suchrconduct, and pun
ished Democracy for it. And so the great
burden of his speech was Pennsylvania and her
iron and coal interests! He told the people
to be sure and elect men of good Whig antece
dents. Thus his aim appeared to be to turn
the whole Presidential contest into a question
of protection and tariff. His successor, Col.
Bullock, commenced a speech in a regular, old
fashioned, 1842 Whig strain, about Executive
prerogatives, 520., &c., which operated like a
purgative, fora regular stampede began for the
door, and even those who remained seemed to
give a very cold shoulder to such sort of
talk.
One thing about this meeting is worth
noting. Col. Gui-tin, in his own State, won
his spurs by a lively run about it, in 1854, to
organize Know-Nothing lo dges which pretended
to be against ultra Republicanism; and the
February convention that put him in nomina
tion, earnestly protested against the same ultra
Republicanism of which Seward supplies the
brains and Massachusetts the echoes, in such
demagogues as run about protesting that they
mean to labor on until the sun shall rise on no
master and set on no slave, and that the coun
try must have an anti-slavery Bible and Con
stitution. Curtin’s ‘= Know-Nothing” friends
in 1854, and his “People’s Party” in 1860,
pretended to set their faces against all this
altruism; for they claimed to be Union men.—
But what was seen in Faneuil Hall last Satur
day evening? Why, forsooth, this Curtin, the
exponent of the People’s Party, implored the
people here to return to Congress Anson Bur~l
lingame, one of the most ultra, wild and rabid
Abolitionists that can be named ; one who has ‘
gone as far as he who goes farthest in heaping
insult on the South; one who was a Free‘soil- \
er from the start; and whose doctrines are so 3
ultra that it would be simply impossible to
carry them out without involving the country
in civil war. This is what Cumin, who is held
up as a. conservative politician in Pennsylvania,
is doing here in Boston; and this is his cou
servatism ! "
“’ill He Cling to the Fraud?
Birely, the man who fraudulently altered the
returns in the First Congressional district, by
which Mr. LEHMAN, who was legally elected,
was cheated out of the return, and Mr. Burns-n,
who was not elected, received the certificate of
election, has been convicted of the olfence with
which he was charged. The question now
arises whether Mr. Burner. will retain a certi
ficate stained with fraud—proved by the sol
emn finding of a jury to have been procrued by
fraud—and whether he will have the assurance
to claim a seat in the next Congress, and have
a. voice in its organization. If there is a par
ticle of honesty or self-respect in his composi
tion, Mr. Butler will refuse to use his certifi
cate, and assist Mr. Lehman in obtaining his
seat at the opening of Congress, without having
to wait the tedious process of a contested elec
tion.
Had the parties been reversed in this case,
what 9. howl of virtuous indignation. at Demo
cratic corruption would go up from the Repub
lican press of Philadelphia! But they are as
mute as mice. None of them have counselled
Mr. Butler to do what common honesty dictates
should be done without prompting, viz: ‘re
nounce his ill—gotten gains—give up the fruit
of forgery—refuse to take the rewogd of felony.
We shall see whether he has the courage to be
honest, and not to appear in Congress with a.
certificate procured by fraud, while professing
great solicitude to reform the abuses and“ cor
“ ruptions” of government. Where is J 01111

Our files abound in most touching letters
from the besieged city, from which it would
appear, as might indeed have been expected,
that the sufi'ering of the people was very great.
We learn, indeed, from a letter of Gen. Ortega
himself, that on the Ist instant the suifering
had become so great that the fire upon the city
was suspended for the space of three hours,
that women and ehildeen might leave the town.
How many actually left we are not informed,
but it would appear that the number v. as small.
In all probability the poor people knew‘ not
what to do, and there for the space of at least
twenty days they remained huddled together
in the centre of the town, farthest removed from
the shots of the besiegers, snfl'ering each hour
discomforts and anxieties which must have
been worse than death itself.

LETTER. FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Patriot and Union.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30, 1860.
From this point, perhaps, more than any other,
the careful observer will learn more in one day of
what is going on in the ecuntry, than at any other
place; and this remark is eminently applicable at
this time, when the whole country is agitated from
centre to circumference upon the coming Presiden
tial struggle.
I have been here for' several clays, and during
that time have had opportunity to meet and con
verse with a. number of very intelligent gentlemen
from all parts of the Republic, but especially those
from the Southern portion of the Confederacy.
With but few exceptions, all with whom I have
conversed 'are deeply impressed with the impor
tance of the great game now being played in the
United States for the capital prize of dispensing
eighty or one hundred millions of dollars annually
for {our yours to come, but this dollar and cent
view is by no means the proper point from which
to view the question at issue in the present con—
test.
There is a question involving consequences of a
nature much more momentous than that of filthy
lucre, which must be met and deeided by the elec
tion on the 6th proximo by the American people.
That question is none other than whether the gov.
ernment shall exist, as it. was originally founded
by the Fathers of the Ropnblie, or whether the ex
periment of self-government is exhausted. and a.
new order of things must supervene?
I know the people of the North are taught by
the leaders of the Black Republican school of po
liticians to look upon all the demonstrations of the
southern people in opposition to their regime as
mere gnsconade, fustian and belderdash; that the
people of the sieve States do not mean what they
say, when they declare their determination to re
sist, with all their power and material resources,
the aggressions of the Northern Abolitioniets. I
know, too, that very many good people believe the
prophets of the Republican camp, and that they
are reposing in fancied security, whilst they are
treading on the very verge of a yawning gulf.
If Abraham Lincoln should be elected on the
6th proximo, (and the signs of the times point that
way.) the South will at once take steps to resist
the policy of the Republican party, come what may
in the future. Whilst I do not justify these ex
treme measures, at this time, I must, in justice to
my own convictions of what I believe to be true,
announce that organized resistance will take place,
in some form or other.
This is a terrible alternative, but the fact itself
seems inevitable. It won’t do to cry “peace, peace,
when there is no peace.” If Lincoln is elected,
he is elected with the declaration on his lips, that
slavery must cease to exist, “because this govern
ment cannot endure half slave and half free ;” and
it is because the Southern people know this, that
they are not disposed to await his inauguration, to
ascertain what his policy will be with regard to the
South. The great misfortune that seems to attend
Lincoln, is the fact, that if he is elected President,
he will be a President of a. minority of the citizens
of this Union—exclusive and sectional in every
particular. They argue that for the South to wait
till such a man gets hold of the reins of Govern
ment would be to place themselves and their insti
tutions at the disposal of one who has proclaimed
himself their enemy, and would betray, on their
part, a. degree of weak submission that would be
destructive of their rights. Already the note of
preparatihn has been sounded from Maryland to
Louisiana, and the whole South is making the
most extensive arrangements to adopt the most
decisive measures, the moment it is ascertained
that Lincoln is elected.
In View of all this, the Government—l mean the
Administration—is on the qui m’ve, and no oppor
tunity will be lost to nip in the bud the first at
tempt that may be made to produce a revolution,
or in any manner to interrupt the usual course of
the Government. The most stringent measures
will he resorted to at the first symptom of revolt
on part of any State of this Union.
The President is busily engaged upon his forth
coming Message, and I venture the prediction here
that it will be one of the' most decided and able
State papers ever issued by any administration.—
The old Chief is every day engaged making the
necessary examinations at the StatelDepartm‘ent
to enable him to lay before the country and the
world a record of his foreign policy, which will be
found to be the wisest and best that has ever char
acterized any administration. He will leave no
subject untouched, but will furnish in his Message
the indubitahle proofs of his sagacity, statesman
ship and pure patriotism. History will do justice
to James Buchanan ; and the simple, unadorned
record of his administration will be his complete
vindication, when the tongue of slander will be
hushed in the presence of overwhelming and irre
futable proof. that will prove him firm, patriotic
and fearless in the discharge of his Constitutional
duties as the Chief Magistrate of the most power—
ful Republic ever known to history.
I cannot let this opportunity pass without nO
- the fact that the visitor to the White House
just now has a new attraction in the person of the
President’s Private Secretary, the lion, Adam
Glossbrenner; who, true to the suaviter of his
nature and his tact as a finished gentleman, makes
every sacrifice of time, consistent with his position
and duties, to render the sojourn of the visitor as
pleasant- and agreeahle as possible. Mr. Gloss
brenner has been a long time a, public favm-ite at
Washington, and by the uniform courtesy and kind.
ness of his hearing, has elicited encomiums from
both friends and fees. In his present“ poaifion he
is, of all men in this country, most admirably
qualified to discharge its many delicate duties, and
to adorn with his fine abilities a position that but
few men are qualified to fill. lam indebted to his
urbanity and kindness for a few hours spent, most
agreeably at the White House.
This day one week the great battle willhe folwht
that is to decide the destinies of this Nation, Zot
for {our years merely, butl fear for all time, Would
that the people of this country would bethink
themselves ere it is too late, and when they come
to deposit their votes in the ballot box would ask
themselves the question—Am I doing this from my
own convirtlons of right, or merely because Mr.
So-nnd-so say so, and Ibeliere him ? If they would
ask themselves—Will that vote merely change our
rulers, or will it change the whole form of Govern—
ment under which we have lived and prospered f 0!
eighty-four years? If the letter catastrophe en
sues, then indeed will it be said that this Nation
was unfit to govern itself, and it fell a prey to fac
tion, fanaticism, and the wily machinations of the
depraved and the ambitious demagogues, who
sought their own elevation at the expense of the
existence of the liberties of their country, and in
the bitterness of their souls exelaim, as their only
consolation—“ Sic transit glaria mundi .”’
ANOTHER REP ÜBLIC’AN FALSEIZOOD
NAILED.
‘-A,_,.,_l__
[From the Journal of Commerce.] _
A story has been in circulation several days,
to the effect that Secretary Cobb had written
to a. banker in this city, stating that he did not
expect that the late ten million loan would be
taken, and that no plates had been prepared
from which. the bonds could be printed. The
Evening Post of Saturday contained the follow
ing in a leading editorial, reiterating the state
ment, :—-
Mr. Sec. Cobb has felt it in the line of his
duty to visit this city and indulge in the use
of the most incendiary and treasonable language,
which is industriously circulated by his co
conspirators through the State. What his
design is, and what isthe design of the govern
ment for which he acts, is variously construed
by different parties. We will give one fact
which may be relied upon as an indication of
what may be supposed to be one of their
motives. A leading banking house in Wall St.,
whose name is in our possession, applied to
Washington for their bonds, taken in accordance
with the condition of the late ten million loan,
and received for answer, that “they were not
ready,” that “they did not expect the loan to
be taken” etc., etc., that “they did not want the
money,” etc., etc, etc.
We knew very well that Secretary Cobb had
never written or authorized such a letter ; but
there was a difficulty in exposing the misstatet
ment, as the name of the “leading" house was
not made public. On Monday the story was
again in circulation, and this time the particu
lars were given. Messrs. Charles H. Marshall,
and Moses H. Grinnell, two prominent Repub
lican gentlemen repeated the story in Wall street,
giving the name of Messrs. Lockwood 8t Co. as
the recipients of the letter; and Mr. Grinnell
backed his assertion with the matter of a
wager. We immediately waited upon Mr.
Lockwood in reference to the statement, and
were authorized by him to give it the ful
lest denial. . His house were successful bidders
for a portion of the loan. Upon application to
the Department at Washington for coupon bonds,
they received a reply to the effect that only
inscribed bonds had been completely prepared
—the demand heretofore having run almost
wholly upon that form of security; but the
others were. in such a. state of readiness that
they could be furnished in a few days. There
was not a word implying that the Department
had any doubt as to the loan being taken. The
persistent misrepresentations of the Republican
press in relation to this Loan are very discred~
itable. The Times published a leading editorial
a few days ago, which contained a number of
misstatements in regard tp it, two or three of
which were exposed on the following day; but
it has not had the manliness to make a proper
correction.
What. form of political malignity will next
develop itself, it is difficult to conjecture. No
misrepresentation or invention which could
possibly be made to influence the fortunes of
the Republican candidates, has been neglected
or omitted; and it is probable that the same
course will be continued, to the end of the
campaign.

PENNSYLVANIA IRON IN THE West—The Mt.
Carmel (111.) Register says that Pennsylvania
iron is to be used on the Illinois Southern
Railroad. It says that a contract for thirty-fire
miles of iron has been consumated between the
Messrs. Stantons and the firm of Wood, Morrell
& 00., of Philadelphia. This week we have
the further gratifying intelligence that two
hundred tons of the rails, weighing forty-three
pounds to the yard, were shipped at Wood,
Mort-ell & Co.’s Works, at J ohnstown, Pa., on
the 2d and 3d inst. for Vincennes. According
to the terms of the contract, the iron will be
shipped from time to time, during the months
of October, November and December, until the
thirty-five miles are complete, when anew con
tract may be entered into, contingent, however,
upon a suitable subscription upon the part. of
counties south of Wabash. .
SINGULAR ExpLostox.—-In the family school
of David Parke, Esq., of Parkesburg, Chester
county, Pm, taught by Miss Alice R. Hotchkin,
an ink bottle, pint size, about two-thirds full,
was placed for safe keeping in the oven of a.
ten-plate stove. A few days ago a. fire was
lighted in the stove, the teacher heving forgot
ten the bottle was there. Theconsequenee'was
n. reusing explosion, so violent as to break the
stove in several places, and throw the fire upon
the floor, at the same time scattering the ink
over the walls and ceiling so profusely as to
leave scarcely a. square foot that was not more
or less spotted. The teacher and scholars
escaped unhurt but had their faces blackened
with ink.
AWFUL AND FATAL Accmnnr.—On Saturday
last John Hardon, the proprietor of the “ Mor
gan Steam Saw-Mill,” about three miles from
Georgetown. Del., was superintending the ope
rations of a. circular saw. By some means his
foot slipped, throwing him directly in contact
with the saw, which passed through his body
in a few revolutions, severing the upper half
from the lower, and throwing the heart, liver
and entrails of the unfortunate man in all di
rections over the mill. Mr. H. was a. former
resident of New Jersey, but had lately moved
into Sussex, and purchased the “ Morgan
Mills,” where he was fast building ‘up a. lucra—

Pfifer, was found in her dwelling on Short. St.,
Lexington, Ky., with several gushes on the
heed and her- throat out almost from ear to car.
All axe, quite sharp-edged, and a razor were
found covered with blood by her side, but from
the character and situation of the wounds on
her head, it is not believed that she attempted
to commit suicide. No one was in the house at
the time she was found, which was very soon
after the occurrence, and her husband and child,
the only members of her family were in a dis

Mrs. Pfifer has been insane for some time past.
