GLORIOUS TRIUMPH..

!, is with feelings Of JOY that We announce to
our readers this week that the Wings have car.
ried the State Of New York again. This result
IS as gratifying as II is unexpected 10 US, when
1t is recollectod that the President has been for
near three months travelling over the State for
electionoeriug effect, naturally calculating that if
he failed to carry bis native State, his chance
was rather bad one IN others. We are glad
that in this instance State pride has had no inhl
ence in blasting the People of New York to sup.
port an Administration whose every measure
seems TO bring curse with it, but they have stood
unfinchingly by their principles. As far as we
have heard the Wings have only lost out Of the
city Of New York and have gained 7. We are
astonished that the Wings have done 50 well
having TO contend against the whole power and
influence Of the government, and they deserve
the everlasting gratitude OF the Wings through
on, the country. We had almost despairod Of
the Republic but since this result, wc shall
" take courage" and press forward with renewed

GENERAL REVIEW.


On Tuesday last, tho Regiment of Cavalry
the Is, Regiment Of Volunteers and the s5,h Re.
giment Of Militia, were reviewed at this place by
Maj. Gen. b. VI. Edney. The day was uncom.
monty fine and brought together large number
of spectators. The Cavalry and Volunteers look.
ed well and performed their various evoutions
with considerable precision, and the Militia per.
formed with credit. The General and his staff,
who wero handsomely equipped, seemed to be
the greatest object of attraction and from the
manner in which the review was conducted, we
think he has established his character as bidding
fair TO become very efficient officer After the
review he addressed the troops. Upon the whole
we have never seen review pass off with more
general satisfaction and pleasure to all concerned.

borrow some and lose his bet. On anoth-
