News reached our borough on Saturday
evening that this regiment had been mus
tered out, and was beiug paid off; and
that they intended (those belonging to our
county,) to start for home the next morn
ing. Arrangements were at once made
to furnish them with transportation and a
number of vehicles went over to meet them.
It was supposed that they would be met
about Worthington, and that they would
likely be in Hutler about 9 o'clock in the
afternoon; with this understanding quite
a number of our citizens went out to
meet them, in carriages, in buggies and on
foot, the "advanced guard" soon arrived
but the last of them did not arrive until
late in the evening. They were comfort
ably cared for, and tlioso living at a dis
tance were provided with transportation in
the morning, so that they would all be en
abled to reach their several election dis
trict in time to exercise that most pr<y;ious
right—the elective franchise. We made
the acquaintance of the most of them,
but did not find one of them who seemed
to have any thought of votingfor "Little
Mac." They all seemed to think that
they had endured and accomplished toj j
much to have it thrown away by a miser
able disunion peace now.
We hope they nay live long, in the
midst of their friends, to enjoy the fruits
of their patriotic toils.
The Campaign Closed.
As we write we have no definite knowl
edge other than the faith we have in the
truth of our principles, as to the result of
the campaign, perhaps before going to
press, wc may have some news, if so we
will give it to our readers. As we have
intimated, however, wc have an abiding
failh in the success of our principles, had
we not this faith we would indeed des
pair of republics having power, virtue or
even ability to preserve themselves. Nev
er in oar recollection have wc seen a time
when the patriotism of the masses was so
fairly at issae as in the campaign just
closed. A large and heroic army is in the
field—far outnumbering the enemy, the
Government has all the means within its
control which it requires to prosecute the
war with vigor; the Ilcbcl cause is lan
gui.shitig, complaints against thcii 'eadcrs
are loud aud long. The Mississippi is again
a national highway; two thirds of the ter
ritory at first owning Rebelsway is reduced
,by our arins; The military lines that at
one time run through West Virginia and
Kentucky now run through Georgia and
Alabama! The army that once occupied
Maryland is now closely watohed in Rich
mond and Petersburg, the army that once
occupied Kentucky is now driven out of
its stronghold in Georgia, and ig in reali
ty, (what is left, of it) a fugitive iu Ala
bama; and tli is is the time when tho op
position party has seen fit to assume a hos
tile attitude to the war—in fact to declare
that the war was a failure; that the hun
dred and fifty thousand lives lost in its
prosecution are sacrificed not for their
country but for the aggrandizement of a
party; thus robbing the hero of his laurels.
The success of the Union ticket will be
le'ling a rebuke to all this, ajid we trust
that rebuke has "been given."

A Terrible Scene nt Sen.
On her last voyage from Australia to
Liverpool the Australian packet ltoyal
Standard narrowly escaped destruction by
contact with an enormous iceberg of Cape
Horn. The following graphic narrative,
from the pen of one of the passengers, is
published in the English papers:
"I was very recently a passenger from
Australia to Liverpool on board one of
the noblest ships, the ltoyal Standard,
belonging to the celebrated 'White Star'
line of packets. We wore upwards of
three hundred adults oil board, exclusive
of the captain, officers, stewards, and sev
enty-one crew, and had a cargo of three
thousand bdles of wool and JL'I2O.OOO worth
of gold. After the genial inter-tropical
climate of the antipodes we rapidly ap-<
proached the Horn,' when the weather
became intensely cold. Morning, noon,
and night groups of passengers huddldd
or crept round the huge funnel of our
ship, ibr we bad an auxiliary screw, to
gather a little extra warmth. On Sun
day, April 3d, latitude 56° south, longi
tude 140° west, we saw the first iceberg,
and a beautiful sight it was.
"Monday, April 4th, opened with thick
hazy weather, and a good breeze, before
which wo were going without steam, at
ten knots an hour, apprehensive of no
danger. Suddenly we ran into a dense
fog, and almost immediately one of the
doubly lookout gave the alarm. 'Broken
water aheaduud almost immediately
after, 'loo on the starboard !" At
that moment I was writingthc newspaper
I conducted on board in the engineers'
mess room, but hearing the noise and the
ominous cry, 'Helm hard a starboard!"
L rushed on deck, and looking over the
bulwarks saw, to my horror, an immense
mountain of ice, towering far above our
maintopgullant mast, which was two hun
dred feet above the water-line, and so
close to us that any man could have jum
ped onto it.
' All hands were immediately summon
ed on dock, and everything done to pre*
vent what now appeared inevitable— a
collision between our ship and the iceberg.
The yards were trimmed, the sails adjus
ted, and everything done to prevent this
fearful catastrophe; but in vain. The
monster mountain of ice drew nearer and
nearer to us, and we drifted nearer and
nearer to it. At length the inevitable
moment came; one heavy roll of the
ship, and the yards of the foremast grated
right into the solid mass of ice, tearing
out and hurling down upon the deck im
mense blocks of ice, some of them of en
ormous size. At the same moment the
main and mizzen-topmast snapped at the
caji with a tremendous noise, and being
made of iron, hung over with all their
gear amidst the rigging, to the great dan
ger of evety one on dock.' While this
was going on, the men at the wheel stood
faithful to their duty, although one of
them had his overcoat rent iu two by a
lump of ice that fell iij.frout of him, yet
did not touch him.
"The scene on deck was now indiscri
bablc. Loudly were the orders passed
fore and aft to the hands, and as heartily
•ibeyed, to adjust the yards and trim the
ship so as to help her forge ahead of the
iceberg, many of the passengers render
ing good service iu,this emergency. Un
der the forecastle deck were gathered
groups of men, pale, silent, awestruck.
Two strong stalwart meu hail hold ot my
hands, and, with big beads of tears roll
ing down their cheeks, cried For mercy.
Between decks women and children were
loud in their passionate cries, and in the
intermediate was an elderly gentleman, a
widower, with five children, in the agony
of woe, expecting his and their immedi
ate destruction. Still the worst was not
come ; again the ship's yard crunched in
to the iceberg. Where [ stood I looked
up and saw that this mountain of ice ac
tually overhung the ship, standing then
six hundred feet out of water. There
were two large fissures running from the
top a consilcrable way down, and as the
ship rolled over I feared the yards would
go into one of these fissures. Had they
dono so they would have brought down
tons of ice that woulj have sent as to the
bottom in a moment. We were spared
that doom, but the next instant the forc
top-gallant mast, jibboom foretopsail yard
studding boom, and all their gear went at
the next crucnh, tearing and splitting the
sails to ribbons. At the same time over
the forecastle deck came rolling vast tor
rents of water, flooding the decks and
creating a fresh source of danger. The
ltoyal Standard was now all but a help
less log, crippled and dismantled; she
presented the most pitiable appearance,
and with her masts, yards, chains ropes
all hanging over aud dangling about in
most dangerous confusion, the marvel is
that no one was seriously injured, if-not
killed.
" Still the worst had not come, and but
for the amazing strength of lier iron hull
all on board must have gone down to the
bottom leaving no record of their fate be
hind them. Bodily the ship drifted up
against the berg, hgr whole side coming
violently into contact with it, and—l
quote from the ship's log, lest my account
should be regarded as the natural cxag
cration of a landsman's fears—' smashed
the starboard lifeboat, carried the bump
kin, stove and all the starboard bulwarks,
stove in the starboard quarter in several
places; also the captain's cabin, and sent
the chronometers flying about, lifting the
poop-deck beams one foot, thus damaging
all the cabins ; and with another crash
split our upper plate amidships and did
other sundry damage. At this moment
■ total destruction seemed inevitable; but
as the ship slowly forged ahead under
main and foresail, hope still remained.
At last the end of the berg, came in view
and we forged clear. The berg appeared
to be entirely errveloped in a- dense fog
and about six hundred feet high. We
passed along about half a mile of it and
from the time of seeing it to clearing it,
it was about half an hour."
"Sofar the ship's log. ' Half an hour;,
yet what a half hour! Who can tell
the agony, the suspense,the wildall but
frantic emotions that were crowded into
that thirty miputes? Beyond the noise
of our ship's knocking about and the or
ders given to the men, all was silence af
ter the first wild cry of terror and dis
may.
'■Pale and trembling men gazed, first
( at the iceberg, then ut the ship present
ing a picture most desolate; and then at
each other; many shook hands aud bade
each other good bye; and all stood, ex
pecting a cevtain watery grave. For my
self, I was toO stunned and startled to
fell excited; I seemed incapable of any
feeling but that of dumb amazement.—
Not a tear came to my relief, not a word
escaped my lips. Wife and children 1
felt I should never see any more and so,
holding a fellow-passenger's hand, I calm
ly awaited the awful moment, the sum
mons to which had come so unexpected
ly, and under such fearful circumstances.
Meanwhile the captain was shouting to
the boatswain, ' Do you see the end of the
berg ?' Again and again for all our safety
lay in our Fpcedily gainiug open sea. At
length, after many times ' Nut yet, sir' he
,said, ' Yes, sir, close by;'and in another
minute We had passed our enemy and
were in open sea once more.
" Three loud cheers passed fore and
aft, and again we shook each other by the
hand, and thanked God fur our deliver
ance. The saloon passengers immediate
ly held a special roligious service, and so
did the intermediate and steerage, and
those services were continued daily till
our arrival in Liverpool."
.1 Chinese Temple in Sun l'ritn
eiseo.
The San Francisco llnl/iliii has an in
teresting account of a wonderful teuiplo
just completed in tint city by the Chinese
residents:
"It may not be known to all our read
ers that there are in California six influ
ential and wealthy Chinese companies,
which are partly commercial associations
and partly benevolent orders, and with
which all the Chinese who come hither
are in some sort connected. These com
panies are known as the Sam Yep, Yeong j
Wo, Wee Yep, Ning Yeong, Hop Wo and I
Yeu Wo. They all have their headquar- |
ters iu this city. Every Mongolian who
comes to this coast is either consigned to
the care or indenture to the service of one
of these companion. They have a com
plex registry of the names and where
abouts of their countrymen, are bound to
look after them in health aud sickness
long as their connection with the company
is preserved, and if they die here to re-,
turn their bodies to China."
"These Chinese companies also mix the
religious element with their business, not j
seeking to proselyte us 'outside barbari- |
ans,' but to furnish temples wherein the j
members of their own guilds may wor- |
ship the wooden gods of the Celestial
Empire, and burn Josh sticks and holy !
paper. The See Yey Company have long |
had a temple. The Ning Yeong Com- j
pany have recently built a large establish- ,
incut, which has been popularly reported
to be a pagan temple, wherein all manner
of idols arc worshiped and mystic rites
performed, .Popular report is partly right
and partly wrong.
"The main building is of brick, about
twenty feet front, forty feet deep and
three stories high. The front is a recess
ed arch under a square cornice, the win
dows opening upon iron-railed balconies
built within the arch and outer square
line of the building. This edifice is ap
proached through a square onc-Story.brick,
opening into an inner court. The first
floor of the main building is divided into
several small reception and smoking rooms,
at the entrance to which stands a police
officer, who admits whoever has one of
the invitation cards issued by the company.
In these rooms visitors are sometimes han
ded a cup of tea, some fried cakes, or .a
paper cigar, and Chinamen may be seen
reclining on 'ounges and smoking pipes of
wood and metal, which emit a very vil
lianous smell. Back of tho. reception
royms is a sort of alter, covered with gilt
and red hangings, the front being open
and showing what resembles a succces
sion of small steps or shelves, which are
covered with paper and inscribed with
Chinese characters. This is the register
of the dead. Here are inscribed the
names of all the members or wards of the
Ning Yeong Company who have died in
California. Iu front of this gostly record
lamps arc kept burning night and day.
'• The furniture of all the apartments
on the first floor is of the plainest descrip
tion. Ou the second floor is the com
pany's business room, or exchange, where
the president or Sing Song, whose name
is Wing (ia, and his head manager, Ah
Wee, sit and smoke anil talk, receive vis
itors, preside over meetings of the com
pany, and direct its ordinary concerns, re
lieving the tedium of these occupations
with an occasional tune u#sotne of those
thrilling two-stringed instruments for
which Chinadom is so famous.
" But the wonder of the whole build
ing is the temple in tho third story. The
first glance at it reveals only a confused
heapgof gilt, crimson and blue cabinets,
brass ornaments, crimson hangings r.od
guady signs, while the air is laden with
warm and sickening odors. A \aore care
ful survey extracts something wonderful
and systematic from this •melange of bar
baric tinsel and furniture. The wallsand
ceilings arc nearly hid with the huge
crimson, blue anj gilt signs, each bearing
four large letters—supposed to be a motto
of some sort—and some an inscription in
smaller characters on one end. These are
said to be presents from Other companies,
and from friends here and in China.
Across the centre of the room are placed
three cabinets, each about ten feet long
by two feet wide and four feethigh, made
of exceedingly dark and heavy wood, and
the fronts carved in high relief in the
most grotesque and elaborate manner.
Some of the carvings represent the interi
or of houses, with figures of men, beasts,
birds and insects in strange juxtaposition;
while others constat of trees, vines and
scroll work—all gilded, the background
being the original bark color of tfca
wood.
"On the top of these massive cabinets
are large braziers filled with incense or
containing livo coals, in which sticks of
sandal wood arc slowly burning; fantastic
wax tapers; sticks of punk three feet
high aud four inches thick; lofty vessels
of a metal like tin, whose use is not ap
parent; small images; peaked yellow flags;
pyramids, or fan-shaped bunches or arti
ficial flowers, peacock tails and insects,
mixed with tinsel ornaments; biasing
lamps; carved and gilt sticks of
wood, &c. A'oeg the sides of the room,
at the end of these cabinets of embroi
dered silt, round and square and fringed;
drums, brass emblems, military and civic
and weapons of war. In the rear of all
this splendor stands the altar of Josh—
the wooden god of.the almond-eyed idola
ters. This is a square alcove of carved
and gilded wood, in which sits the awful
Josh himself—a big-paunched China
man with a brick-red face, long strips of
red cloth flowing from each side of his
head, three tails of black horse hair
sprouting out of his chin and the corners
of his mouth, and his porsoi* bedizened
with blue, green, crimson and gilt carv
ings, studded with bits of glass, to repre
sent his small clothes, and high above his
head a brass sun, as if this celestial super
stition had mixed with it a bit of l'arsee
iatu.
We were asked to believe while in
this awful presence that Josh, when alive
on earth, stood fifteen feet, wielded a bat
tle-axe that weighed a ton, and one day
killed thirty thousand of his foes. In
proof of this story we are shown by Ah
Wee, in a manner that admitted of no
controversy, a wooden battle axe, highly
carved and gilded, whi(Ji is an exact rep
resentation of the one that Josh swuug
with such fateful fury. Under Josh's
august nose blazed several 0.l lamps; and
sticks of burning sandal wood aud punk,
and braziers of incense powder, sent up
wreaths of suioke, filling the room with
an odor that was rather pleasant after a
while. Before this alter the heads of the
companies, clad in long blue robes aud
black skull caps, appear daily during the
festival, bowing, kissing the floor and
chanting, while the Som Yen and Good
Kim are twangled and drums are beat in
horrid dissonance. Hither are brought
offerings of baked and raw meats —whole
sheep and hogs. A record of these is
kept, but with the exception of the left
hindquarters of the baked animals, they
are taken away again by those who bring
them. This is au economical form of
sacrifice, and probably does Josh as much
good as though his votaries did not save
their bacon so carefully. The religious
ceremonies are soon over fand that is (fli
other wise economy), though during the
current festival they arc frequently re
peated.
"Itis a curious fact that the Chinese
do not reseut or apparently object to the
presence of Americans during these rites,
l'erhaps they are willing to give us every
opportunity to bo converted, and desire to
set us an example of liberality and cour
tesy which we will be long in following."
