Irt Milford, Mass., on Saturday night, while a party of young Irish people were celebra ting All Hallow Eve with games usual on that occasion, two young girls went into a • neighboring field to procure a cabbage, and were fired upon by the owner, Bartholomew O'Donnell, a man dant sixty years of age, and Miss Bridget Murray, of Boston, was killed, the ball passing through her head causing death In one hoar.

He was so grief-stricken as to' feel that be could never be content until he had loottd once more on her sweet face. The body was taken up and the coffin opened', when it was discovered that it lay on its fe.o, and that the bands were: both'clutched full of hair, giving unmistakable evidence that the child was buried alive." • Tan revolution in Spain has led to one of a formidable character inpuba, which is one of her few remaining provinces. The object of the insurgents is an independent govern ment for the Island, and there art many prominent parties butside of Cuba deeply in terested in the success of the movement. Several skirmishes are officially reported to have taken place in the interior, the govern ment proving victorious in all of them. The town of Bicarra was stormed by the troops, and in a battle near Jignani thirteen of the insurgents were killed. The insurgents are issicA strong, numbering many Spaniards, and, their ore to Spain, Prim and Serrano, and down with taxation. The troops num ber 10,000, and are acknowledged to be in sufficient to suppress the rebellion. The 1 whole Island is in an excited state and busi ness is prostrated on account of the distrust and alarm of the people. MI disposition of the powers that be to quiet •popular apprehensions in view of threatened war is manifested by the pacific indications of our latest news from Austria , and Prussia: The Paris Monitenr, the offi cial organ of the Emperor of the French, I hastens to publish the assurance that the 1 Emperor of Austria will not sign the recent, Army bill, adding that the Austrian Minister I •\of War has said publicly that Austria is arm ing only in Proportion to the extent of her i l ie po li on . Telegrams firom Vienna give the + sun cement by the Ministry that the in to* teflon put on the late speech of Baron t is false, and that the policy oy Austria Is . They also state that the Diet has a bill authorizing the Government to recruit forty thousand additional soldiers, Baron Betutt having made a 'formal assur . ance that the men to be enlisted will merely - •,1111 up-the deficiency in the' standing army and not swell it above the number fixed by , law.. The news from Prussia is equally tranquilizing. It is asserted on semi-official 1 In iltatity that the speech of King William, by whom the session of the North Genniu roremWU ftritually ripened on the 4th of ter. ber, seas of a salaaming and pacific Atantc A Bakken Of promise Clio Witil tried in the - Morris county court, in ;New Jersey, last week. The plaintiff was Eliza Garth, of New York, fifty-seven years old, who sued a widower named Richard Howell, seventy seven years old, living in Flanders, New Jer sey, for two thousand dollars damages. The lady alleged that defendant promised to mar ry her four years ago, and that since that time he has broken his engagement and mar ried another. The defendant denied that ,thus was any engagement on his part, and tf there was any engagement he afterwards learned that she was a very passionate wo man, and that she and her former husband lived very unhappily , together, and thought the best thing for him to do under the cir cumstances, was to retract his promise. The jury gave in a verdict of two thousand dol lars for plaintiff.` Tint Indians are again beconling trouble some, along the line of the Union Pacific Railnmd. A twain was thrown from the track by them on Saturday and the fireman' was killed. The wrecking train on the way to the wreck was obliged to return on as of the appearance of a large hostile i band. The calf of Governor Crawford, of , Kansas, for volunteers to fight the Indians has caused as much military preparation among the people of that State as the first call during the rebellion. All the principal towns have their recruiting officers, and companies are forming rapidly. But regiment of cavalr y is to be raised, andirat to serve only for a term of six months. Four hundred of the men are alieady_ in camp. A MOST extraordhuu-y application of the acctoral principle has just been made in Val paraiso, CM, as; we are informed by &let ter of our specialcoirespondent The recent earthquake in South America had suggested to the clergy the propriety of selecting a new patron saint of the city. An election was consequently ordered ; quite a number of nominations were made, and at the close of the election it was ascertained that Jesus Christ had received 19,000 votes, the Virgin Mary 4,000 votes, and that some - 880 votes were scattering. As the total population of Valparaiso is only 70,000, the vote appears to be very "heavy." We hear, however, noth ing of "fraudulent votes" and "repeaters." AT A small town called Lincoln, which was settled by freedmen, near Pocahontas, Arkansas, a negro, named W. Babcock, de tected another, named Cochrane, in illicit in tercourse with his wife, and attacked him. Cochrane killed Babcock in the encounter, and immediately took up with Babcock's wife, who had four children. Next day all the children were found in rik swamp, with their throats cut. One Ike Martin saw the deed, and from fear of Cochrane, said noth ing for several days, but finally went to Port Chapontas and informed the civil authority, who have laid the matter before the military. Cochrane is not arrested. AR advertisement appeared in a German newspaper in New York for fifty men at six dollars per week, and no less than five hun dred men appeared at the place appointed, the next morning. The circumstances de velop a great at eorir. Tha Woo Yorkeria German paper, warns people In the country not to go to Now Ycrk In search of employment. It says : "To come here is tantamount to destitution, hunger and despair. A man may run around for months in search of work, without finding what he wants, so that he is compelled to take anything that is offered." A woman by the name of Sense was ar rested in Kingston, Canada, last week, in a state of imbecile intoxication, with an infant in her arms. Upen removing the baby from her arms at the station house it was found to be a stark, stiff corpse. It is reported that the woman bad been wandering round for some days from tavern to tavern in a maud lin condition, with this dead child in her arms, earnestly begging an additional stimu lant to her fearful appetite.

Ave counties at the late election, and the Radicals thirty-one, and there are but a few thousand votes difference between the par ties in a poll of over six hundred thousand votes. This should have made the majority in the Legislature small one for the success -Ibl organization. The way in which the par ty vote ' wW may stand is as follows : &nate. ThirOs. Republicans, 18 Republlauts, Democyats, , 15 Democrats, Republican maf. 3 Repair maj. 23 Republican majority on joint ballot 26 This shows in what as infamous manner the State b gerrymandered. A majority of Sixty thousand. for the Democrats would not redeem the House from Radical control. The voice of the majority is stifled in that direction. This is the Radical theory of fair representation. It is on a par with their no- tion of impartial scdthp.....ll to vote who will support the Radical ticket, and than who will not, to he disfranchisid.

PANSIMILIMAL rlicrrioa. posted classes of both Among - the better parties, the anions of Grant and Colfax has been regarded as a foregone conclusion ever since the October elections. Indeed, it may almost be said that such has been the fact from, the first announcement of the New York nominations, for the conviction was very general with leading - Democrats in all portions of the country that the choice of the Convention was not such as the necessities of the times demanded. Atter the disap pointment which ensued had somewhat sub sided, a hope sprung up that, we might re deem the mistake by energetic labor, but at no period during the campaign bas there been sufficient confidence to enable us to conduct it with that vigor essential to a suc cessful issue. It required hard labor to in duce many of our most zealous adherents to enter upon an active prosecution of the can vass, and in every locality there were some who looked upon defeat as an event , so cer tain to happen that they utterly refused the slightest assistance either In time or *means. The Opposition were bold and confident in the same proportion, and labored with an ac tivity and earnestness that rendered the can vass one of the most difficult for those who were compelled to take its management on our side that we have ever known., With this state of affairs familiar to all Democrats, the verdict of Tuesday is an occurrence which most of them anticipated, and the great majority of our party will learn it with much more regret at the folly of our own party representatives than disappointment that Grant has been elected. The returns are meagre from most of the States, but show that sufficient hale been carried by the Radicals to give them nearly two-thirds of the - electoral college. The Southern state have exceeded our evlota tither, all those admitted to participation in the election giving Democratic majorities ex cept Tennessee and South Carolina. The effect of the October elections is seen In the increased Radical majorities in• the several States heretofore carried by that party, and decreased majorities In the Northern Demo: cratic States. The Radicals gain in nearly every county in Pennsylvania and will have from 20X100 to 25,000 majority. New York has certainly been carried by the Democrats, but Hoffman will have ten thousand more of a majority than Seymour. The Radicals se cure a majority In 'the Legislature of that State,vtdch will give them the United States Senator, while we gala - several Congressmen. Hon. J. R. Doolittle loses his seat in the Sen ate by a Republican majority in the Wiscon sin legislature. The Democratic Congres sional delegation from the South is largely Increased; and with the gains we have made in the Ncirth, will prevent the Radicals from having a two-third vote in the - House in the next Congress. Among the notable inci dents of the day is the re-election of Gen. Butler by a majority of 7,000 to .8,000. We give below the electoral vote of each State, with the estimated majorities on the Presidential ticket, according to the latest re turns at hand. • FOR GRANT. Electoral • • Malagy. Vole.

In the language of a cotem porary: "We look now to see these words converted Into acts—to see the olive branch substituted for the sword In the t3ciuthem States, negro supremacy quietly superseded and such measures adopted as will create harmony out of °discoid in that " genial and fruitful portion of our country comprised in the States now suffering from a mistaken and vindictive policy.,We look also, and hopefully to this, that ater the 4th of March next there will be a check put on the mon strous corruptions which prevail in all the departments of the Government, that econo my shall exceed extravagance in the dis bursement of the public fonds, that the pub lic debt shall be reduced as rapidly as possi ble, and thattke taxes which press upon the people shill be made more (Way to bear." The people expect that Gen. Grant mill accomplish all this, and if he fails to do so he will lose the confidence of thousands who have given him their support, and leave the Presidential chair is unpopular as be has hitherto been admired and trusted by starve portion of the people. • . RADICAL ILLECTIONEZIUNG TRICKS For weeks past, the Radical papers have been hall of reports of alleged naturalization frauds in all portions of the country, and es pecially in the cities of New York and I?hil adelpbia. We have 'examined the pipers of both sides, published in the localities where these frauds are represented to have taken place, with an honest purpose 'to ascertain the truth, and are entirely satisfied that in nearly every instance they were pure inven tions, designed to effect the elections. The Radical leaders copcluded some time ago that if they could get up a hue and cry on this subject, it would result in the exclusion of scores of naturalized voters in every dis trict where they had control. The plan was deliberately conceived, and carried out with the satanic impudence tfor which that party is unrivalled, and too-3941 has it done its work. The most shameful part of the trans action is the eagerness with which certain judges took part in it, thusdestroying forever the once high reputations they possessed, and seriously impairing public confidence in the character of the judiciary of the country. If anything was needed to convince thinking men of the terrible mistake that was made when the judicial office was rendered de pendent on the varying phases of popular opinion, the disgraceful conduct of Judges Read and Brewster,in Philadelphia, Ihrnish es the lacking material. The succession of reported outrages in the South, with which the 'telegraphic columns of the daily papers have been laden for sev eral weeks were a part and parcel of the Fos same unblushing scheme of- y deception. This fate of the game wasuz t quite as original as the other, having been in yearly vogue since the days of "bleeding Kansas," but did its *service scarcely Ices effectually. It is an old saying that thisehood travels a mile while truth is putting on her boots, and the idea was hilly verified in the case of these stories. In nearly every instance they have been contradicted, but the • rebuttals either came too late, or were not printed by the Radical papers, or placed in such obscure positions 'that they Were seldom noticed. Now that the election is over, we shall hear of no more Southern,outrages, and the same I journals and individuals that gave tturmintut prominence will soon be as hard at work proving that Cougusst‘ial reconstruction II a meets, and the wholeflouth in a, maple* state of subjection. • ' ELECTORAL. WEIGHT OP TIM STATES. Ever since the formation of the Govern ment, the Presidential elections , have been more largely controlled by the Influence of the middle States than by any other section. There have been twenty Presidential elec tions in all. At• the two first Washington was unanimously chosen. Party differences began with the campaign of 1801, when Jef ferson was elected. The electoral weight of the several sections of the Union since that ' time may be determined by the following summary : - The New England States cut the bulk of their electorial vote for the suc cessfial candidate in eight elections, and for the unsuccessful candidate in seven elections. The !diddle' states voted on the snecenful side sixteen times, and on the unsuccessful side twice (once for Clinton and once for Jackson). The Western States voted on the successful side twelve times, and on the un success:M.Blde twice (once for Cass and once for Fremont). The Southern finites voted on the successful side fourteen times, and on the .unsuccessful side four times. The Pacific States hive participated in four elections, and have every time thrown their electoral vote on the successful side. Of the two ad-1 verse instances cited, the Middle States should really be credited with but one, for General Jackson, for whom the balk of them voted in 1825, had a plurality' of the electo ral and a large austerity of the popular vote, but was defeated by Adams in consequence of the election being thrown into the House of Representatives. As the Middle States have gone, so has gone the Union, in every election except that of 1813, when New York arid New Jersey gave DeWitt Clinton thirty seven votes, and Pennsylvania gave Madi son (the successful candidate) twenty-five. TO descend to particular States, in the twenty Presidential elections, Maasachu ssette has thrown her weight on the miccessdill side ten times and on the unsuccessful side the same number. Pennsylvania has cast her weight on the successful side eighteen times and on the unsuccessful side but twice (for Jefferson in 1797, and Jackson in 1812). New York has cast her weight on the sue. cessfig side seventeen times and on the un successful side but twice (for Clinton in 1818,, and Fremont in 1857). She did not partici pate in the first Presidential election. Vir ginia cast her weight on the successful side fourteen times and on the unsucessful side five times. She . did not participate in the. election of 1824. Ohio has voted Shift 1804, and has been successful eleven times and un successful five times. Illinois has voted since 1820, and has been successful ten times and unsucciessfill twice. Kentucky has voted since 1792, and has been on the winning side eleven times and on the losing side eight times ; three of these being when she voted for Henry Clay. These examples, and others that might ha - recoided, show that Pennsyl vania and New York have been the Keystone to the arch, and have in nearly every ease de cided the contest The following table shows the .popular vote cast for President since 1824, with the electoral vote received by each candidate.

The Republican members, reituting to accept the will of the people as the law of the land, ca ring more for party than for their oaths, have done exactly in their limited sphere what the Southern members of bangress did on a grander scale in 1861. They have resigned and Withdrawn in a' body. This is the an swer of the Republicans in Oregon to the verdict off the people at the lions in the last, election'in that State. Redgnini their posts was the last mean); left to these Republican members to embarrass the majority, and so, heedless of the halm that might result to public interests, they adopted it. The result . 19, to leave the Legislature without a quorum; to render it impossible for it to do any official business; and-the popular majority that gave this Legislature its peculiar character is cheated of its turn and oppeortunity" in the government of the State. • Ws clip the following front the Allentown Democrat, showing to what a good old age a man may hve if he wiU only tote the Dem ocratic ail his life : " George Labor, in Monroe CO., now 106 years oCap, voted the Democratic ticket solid last Tuesday two weeks, as usuaL Mr. Lobar is hearty and int olerable good health yet, has the use , m mind and limbs as tho' he waegoing e many years.

Emma.; In 1858, described the Southern States, after traveling over them, as holding "a population as intelligent, as prosperous, as moral, as religious, as any to be found on the surface of the globe." Or seven "Governors" of as many "recon stmeted" Statei, only two lived South before the war. Of ten "Elenators," eight are carpet baggers ; and of thirty-three "Represental tives" twenty-two belong to the same vile • breed. RALPH WALD() Excasores eyes have been opened. He judges Radicalism by its fruits, and says: "The spirit of our American Rad icalism is destructive and aimless—it is not loving, it has no ultimate ends, it'is destruc, tive, only out of hatred and selfishness." A mom= Virgirda ConventSonist, named John Ifoillgkin, recently published the following card: "I this day sever my con nection with all political organizations, and shall hereafter endeavor to pay more atten tion to my future salvation." dorm M. Nunn, Radical candidate• for Governor of Illinois, lately remarked, "I think that the privilege of living under the government of the United, States, and enjoy ing the rights and privileges of a free repub lic, should be sufficient for any foreigner, without the right to hold office?' What is this but the old Know Nothing spirit revj tred? A LARGE number of Radical election offi cers in Philadelphia have • been arrested and .Mend over to appear at court, to answer the charge of obstructing freemen in tne exert* of the right otsuflage. - Hundreds of similar outrages were perpetrated by the Radicals, and it is now clear that had there been- a fair election the Democratic majority in October Would have been several thousand. Timm have hien no less than tire emu den committed in Rockingham county,New Hampshire, during the present year. Such a fact, brought to light in any county in . the South, would furnish . the ground-work for whole columns of dissertation . upon " Ku- Klux "' atrocitiesand thi" unconquered spir it of rebellion !" Are the Ku•Kiux at work la Rockingham P If so, let Congress take it in band, and " reconstruct! the Granite State upon a " loyal basis." • A Gumms paper charges that all the mis fortunes of , the Southern people are directly' attributable to Northern adventurers' and' vagabonds who have flocked thither fOr po litical renown. "The Whites," It says, "would never have oppreasedplie negroea nor permitted them to be oppressed, and the ne groom' would never have lost confidence in the whites, but for the interested villainy of these carpet-baggers and scalawags; and primarily they are responsible for every seri ous difficulty between the races, for all dan ger 'of difficulties of this character, in the, ,South.". •WgriDELL Puiturs and his rebel'school are terribly alarmed lest Grant should turn out - not to be so extreme and so radical in his views and official action as they have hoped. They are denouncing and threatening him in advance. The Anti-Slavery Standard, says that he was never trusted by the old Aboll-, denials proper, add that he was nominated in spite of them, and accepted by them only from necessity, and they have great fear of the more tolerant and conservative influen ces by which he will be surrounded. , What special precautions Mr. Phillips proposes to bike in such a threatening state otaffairs, we are not informed. Ms Austin State Gazette is responsible for the following: "A gentleman from Gal veston stopphig at the Nicholson, House, Bastrop, was awarded a room recently occu: pied by the Freedmen's Bureiu. Irking out for a while, on his return he found Sambo, a colored gentleman, sitting cross-legged on a chair by the Sot, smoking and spitting; and making himself quite at home. Being re monstrated with for such conduct in a gentle.• man's room, Sambo jumped up very much surprised, and escistmiki, "Beg pardon, ma sa; didn't know yi was a gemmen—s'posed you was de Freedmen's Bureau." Tog Nation propounda with startling seri• endless the discovery of "our steadily in. creasing Poverty The people of the United States are, and have been for several years put, steadily decreasing in wealth." This general thesis our contemporary demon strates- reports Showing that, according to the recent reports of the Agricultural Bureau at Washington, the ntimber of tench cows in the count:iris now smaller by five per cent. than it was in 1860 the number of working cattle is less by thirty per cent.; thee's:realm la asses and mules is twentyleight per cent.; in horses seventeen per cent. ; in swine near ly twenty-five per cent. "Truly;" says the Nation, "most startling figures." A GOOD story is told on Hancock, a carpet bag Judge in MindatdppL He had been en deavoring to convert a conservative negro, and, failing, swore that any nigger. who would vote against his own race and color ought to be hung. Salbci hung his head for moment, as Win deep meditation, and then, lookhig the Judge straight in the See, said "You say any nigger who votes agin his 'own race and color ought to be hung?" "Yes," said the Judge, "he ought to be hung." "Well, Judge," said Bambo, "what do you think ought to be done yid' do white men who vote agin his own race and color?" The Judge bid bis sable Mend good night, and has never invited him to his house since. Tin war of races has reached Alexandria, Ps, and has drain into. its vorte x the rising generation.

So lug as these Bitters are all that we represent. them to be, we do not know that it makes any dif ferente ' from whom they come, or from whence they originated; but for the informa tion of the public generally, and old Capt. Wentz in particular, we will say that he told the truth, and that these Bittern originated in the West India Islands—that many of the in gredients have been favorably used - for over a century, but our combination of Calissys is entirely new and our own.

Nor is it pleasant to consult a physician for the relief of these various delicate affections and only upon the most urgent necessity will a true woman so far sacrifice her greatest charm as to 40 this. The sex will then thank us (or placing in their hands simple specifies which will be fouhd efficacious in relieving and curing almost every one of those troublesome com plaints peculiar to the sex. liaLmnoLn's ExTaser Bratr.—Hundreds suffer on In silence, and hundreds of others ap ' ply vainly todruggists and doctors, who either merely tantalize mem with. the hope of a cure or apply remedies widen - make thorn worse. I would not wish to assert anything that would do injustice to the afflicted, but I am obliged to msy teat although it may be produced from ex cessive exhaustion of the powers of lifeZby la borious employment, unwholesome air ..and food, profuse menstruation, the use of tea and coffee, arid frequent childbirth, it is far oftener caused by direct irritation, applied to the mu cous membrane of the vagina itself. When reviewing the causes of these distres.s ing-complaints, it is most painful to contem plate the attendant evils conwquent upon them. it is but simple justice to the subject fo enumerate a fete of the many additional causes - which so largely affect the life, health and hap piness of woman in all classes of society and which, consequently, affect more-or less direct ly, the welfare of the entire human family. The mania that exists for precocious education and Marriage, causes the years that nature designed for corporeal development to be wasted and perverted in the restraints of dress, the early confinement of School, and especially in the on healthy excitement of the ball-room. Thus, with the body half-clothed, and the-mind un duly excited by pleasure, perverting in mid night revel the hours designed by nature for sleep and rest, the work of destruction Is half , accomplished. In consequence of this early strain upon her system, unnecessary effort is required by the -delicate votary to retain her situation in school at a later day, thus aggravating the evil. When one excitement is over, another in' prospective keeps the mind morbidly sensitive to inipres stun, while the now constant restraint of fash ionable dress, absolutely forbidding the exer cise indispensable to the attainment and reten tlott of organic health anti strength; the expo sure to night air; the sudden change of temper ature; the complete prostration produced by excessive dancing, must of necessity produce their legitimate Mabel, - At last, 1111 early mar riage caps the climax of misery, and the unfor tunate one, hitherto so utterly regardless of the plain dictates and remonstrances of her delicate nature,-becomes an unwilling subject of medi cal treatment. This is but a truthful picture of the experience of thousands of our young wo men. Long before the ability to exercise the func tions of the generative organs, they require an education of thelr-pecullar nervous system, compassed of what is called the tissue, Which is, in common with the female breast and ev idently under the control of mental emotions and associations at an early period of life; and, as we shall subsequently see, these emotions, when excessive, lead, long before puberty to habits which sap the very life of their victims ere nature has self-completed their develop ment.
