The WAR FOR THE SUCCESSION AND THE SPoILs
ALREADY BRoKsN Our.-The battle OF the factions
has already broken out. Like rival companies OF
banditti, against some common foe, and who, ~
The moment Of attack, fought tremendously shoni-
der to shoud but give full vent TO their mutual
and selfish animosities gaining possession OF the
plumber, the cligsss of4the Democracy are already
al osen war. The Globe, on the very eve OF victo-
~, is moving on the part oil Mr.. Benton OF Missouri
who was so furiously opposed 10 the Tyler treaty
of annexation. This article is replied to by the
Madisomiam, in strain OF curiously mingled IN
vective and affected calmness II accuses the Globe
of wanton and deliberate renewal OF the attacks
on Captain Tyler, and represents the object of the
assault TO be- the assumption OF the control of the
Democracy. Bur the Madisonian modestly states
that it will not return the blow until the "whoe
Democracy OF the Union be convinced Of the fla
grant provocations Of Mr. Blair" and arrive at the
charitable conclusion that there is an absolute
necessity of faying" that gentleman alive. The
Madisonian then goes to assert that the "an
nexation treaty" had the warm support Of General
Jackson, and that it must and shall have that OF
Colonel Polk.
Thus has the war commssoed al Washington in
very promising spirit of bitterness and maIisnlty.
The same result has taken place here. The fac
lions will no doubt now very rapidly arrange them
selves into grand divisions, the Calhoun and Van
Buren,, or the North and South democracy The
first great subject of contest will be the right and
title to Mr.. Polk. Never in days Of old did the
chivalry of tented field contend so fercely for the
prize of heap,.. IA sis~ec rival factions tor the
possession of poor Mr.. Polk. He will, indeed,
lead troubled life at the White House-far more
uneaslness, anxiety, and importantly Of application
than ever General Harrison had before he was
mercifully removed to the land of eternal silence
and repose.
After me belligerent parties have fought out the
battle respecting the possession Of Mr.. Polk, and
the "spoiIs," then will come the war of the sue
cesson. That will be interminable 1t will wax
fercer and fercer every succeeding session of Con.
gress As for the wings, they will be all peace and
quietness next session They will have merely to
look on. And the scene will doubtless be very in.
teresting and amusing to them. But it will not,
we fear, be very creditable to the country. We
should not be surprized, if we should have during
the next session, some exhibitions of vulgarity, in
temperance, and violence, still more disgraceful
than any which have yet taken place on the floor
of the House of Representatives-and that is say
ing great deal

'sTo Your TENTS, On /. ISRAEL ."-The election
is over. The gamblers whoIhave lost, are opening
their eyesto their folly; and the winners are SPEND
ing their inlquitlous gains. Men are returning 10
calmness and sobriety. The disturbing elements
that have agitated the country are Disappearing
all but the politicians by profession desirous of
repose, and return to their usual avocatoHs.
We do trust that the community will return
with increased energy and industry to their varie
occupations-that every attention will be paid to
the advancement of morality-to intellectual Gull
ture-to the prosecution of all honorable enterprise
and that the nation will at once enter
into new career OF glory and prosperity.
The country certainly was never in more
promising condition. Commerce is rapidly r.
creasing Trade is finding new channels every
day. Agriculture is rapidly improving The sci.
entfc cultivation of the soil is regarded as much
more important than heretofore. In the neighbor
hood of all the large Cities the traveller is at once
struck by the indications OF increased industry ex.
pended the production of the fruits of the earth
Well-tilled gardens, from the humble enclosure Of
the cottage, to the elegant 1ower beds of the az
fluent, now seen in our suburbs, instead of va
cant and waste lots. Those and thousand other
small but not insignificant indications, show on
all hands, that taste and industry are increasing
amongst the population.
The great truth, that it is to themseves-to their
own industry, diligence, morality, and good senses
and not to legislation, to government, that the
people must look for prosperity, is beginning to be
more widely felt and more generally understood
and acknowledged. 1t is true there will always be
class, too lazy or too corrupt, to occupy them
selves in the pursuits of honorable industry, and
who will sink in the purieus Of political intrigue
and agitationlthe means Of living. We see, indeed,
already, how this class begins to disturb the poll
teal waters But they cannot succeed, for
some years., to come, in rendering them as
turbid as of late. All good citizens will
quietly submit to the result of the recent
conflict, and coolly look on, whilst the va
rious fag-ends of faction are quarrelling ard
squabbling. "He laughs who wins" The
discreet citizen who attends to his business.

foundations Of enduring prosperity and ample for.

care to keep out Of it himself.

FAsnrorABLK ADJUSTMENTS Together with the
revival in TAeatricas, we may expect to see an IN
finite variety of amusenienis offered to the gays
the cheerful, and!socal Of every class during the
coming winter. Scores Of ingenious oontrvances
to pass dull care away scores of enterprsing
adopts at the art Of amusing will spring into matur-
ity, ready, in fact to go any length TO excite an
innocent laugh which, according to that prince OF
humor, Swift, is most meritorious qualification
Indeed, at present, there is no lack OF recreation
in this goodj city; and for him who should sally
forth in pursuit OF pleasure on one of these tne
evenings, there would be as good chance OF cap
turing the divinity as at any other time or place.
Museums spread before your eyeswith multlfarieus
curosities saloons sparkle with nectrous lbalons'
and the radiant smiles OF ''mine host;' there are
Libraries for the sudous-lectuies for the curious,
and if we can believe the ssnatves-clean streets,
upon which that erudite and very humorous class
can perambuate, who busy themselves with think
ing about nothing at all. As to the theatres-suc
cess to them-we have already spoken, in the re-
spectful and cheering terms which they deserve;
and it now remains but to say few words upon
another very commendable enjoyment, which we
have reserved the last in recapitulation, as
a bonnie bouche.
We mean dancing. One OF the most Iashlohaoie
recreations of the coming season, will be this
pleasing art, which comprise the figure ofthe floor,
the etiquette of the beau monde, the routine of the
ball room, and the art of pleasing, too. Whoever
10 dssirnns OF being au fat in any Of those accom-
plishments, had better recoect that Mr. and Miss
Whale are giving lessons; but, above all, that the
celebrated Mons de Korponay is now in this city,
and has resumed his tuition in all the leading
dances of the day. Every one has heard Of
the Pslka-that fascinating dance which has
spread over the continent of Europe, inha-
bited courts, and penetrated cabinets, and
which now is placed within the reach of our
citizens Mr.. de Korponay's success since his
arrival in this country, has been great at present
he has 60 or 70 pupils who attend his public
classes in Park-pace, besides several private
classes 30 numerous as to occupy his whole time.
Now that politics are over-we venture to predict
that dancing will be its.successor The victorious
party will dance for JOY, the vanqushed to raise
their spints-and surely no well affected citizen
will refuse to be Polkitc in dancing, by neglect
ing the Polka, when they recollect that tine first
man in the land is one, and no doubt regularly
practses-at least certainly will, when he hears Of
his election.

DEAR SIR,-In these days of excitement and party
interest, when all are anxious for the future welfare
Of our country, those who have acted in her past
history should not be forgotten.
The following narrative OF one of the most gal
liant exploits of the Revolution deserves place in
your columns, from the fact that the widow OF
Lieut.. ERsKrNE is in the most destitute circum.
stances, and at the age Of four score is suffering
the bitter ills Of poverty.
This should not be, and call on all humane
Americans, who glory ia the deeds of "seventy-
six" to visit this worthy lady, at her residence,
rear of 81 Beekman street, opposite st. Georges
Chapel. H. p. ].
Nhw YORK, Nov. 9th, 1874
In the year 1871 Captain John Curtis (who,
think, belonged to Salem,) commanded aprivateer
sloop OF about 60 TONS mounting six carriage guns
and as many swivels, called the "Lincon Galley"
and Of which Capt. Erskine was the first lieu
tenant. Captain Curtis was directed by an order
to cruise along the eastern shore to protect our
coasting trade, and while on his cruise he received
information that some American vessels had been
captured and carried into Annapolis Roya,oa pcrl
on the Nova Scotia shore. Thlther Curtis con-
the harbor in the night, and ordered Erskine, HE
lieutenant, to reconnoitre the harbor, and, i
practicable, to surprise and take the fort Captain
Ersklne so well acquitted himself of this important
and proceeded directly to the fort, completely sur
prsed the guard, and made the governor prisoner
in his bed; and astonishing as it may seem,
ne actually succeeded by stratagem TO cap,
tuIe the tOWn anu IOIt, iHOuuuhB 40 suns anu
made upwards of $50 prisoners of war. At daylight
Erskine hoisted his signal on the fort, on which
Capt. Curtis ran up town with the vessel and &C.
cepted captulation. Erskine had arranged and
paroled the prisoners, spiked and disabled the can.
non, and brought off ethe public stores By this
gallant achievement $50 Of the brave Americans
who were prisoners at Halifax were released by ex.
change, and among them Captain Potter, a vau-
able officer, who had been notorious for his daring
EXPLOITS in harassing the enemy on that shore, and
whom, to keep from further harm, they at, first
enormously refused to release; but the Governo,
was held prisoner until they reluctantly yielded
up Capt. Potter in exchange.

DR.. LARBNER's RFpoRT-Tt will be recollected
that short time ago an explosion took place, of
most extraordinary kind, on the Reading railway,
by which the locomotive engine Richmond"
was, by some terrific but unknown agency, blown
10 distance incredibly far for such ponderous
mass of matter A very neat edition OF this report
has been published at the Herald office, at the re-
quest Of Messrs. Norris Brothers, the builders of
the engine in question, and who employed DR.
Lardner to investigate the subject. After peru.
sal Of the work, we can safely say that this has
been thoroughly accomplished; and that whilst il
proves clearly that electricity was the leading
cause of the explosion, it makes out the case by a
series of scientific arguments and illustrations of
deeply interesting nature, and which completely
exonerate Messrs Norris Brothers from all
blame.

Wing gain, 53l in l6 counties
There are ninety-three countiesin the State. In
sixteen Of these the wings have increased their
majority 53l. II they 60 through the State at the
same rate, they will have an aggregate increase Of
three thousand. This will give the State to Clay,
the democrats carried the election last non,h by
amajority of only 1888. In this view Of the re-
turns, Georgia appears to be more doubtful than
ever. It will be seen that remarkably heavy
vote has been polled.

To gain the State, the Democrats will have TO
show great increase in the counties to hear from
than the above indication. If they should continue
to increase in every county, in the thirty already
given, they would only reduce the Wing majority,
obtained last August, one-haf. leaving them about

safe, that the considerable advocates Of both cand-

may, in the enjoyment Of pure air and beautiful
scenery, forget their respective trials and disaT-
pointments. The trip to this interesting place can
be performed in short and convenient manner en-

several hours in the country, should go out In the
morning trains. Our Indian summer should be
improved, and we are now in the midst Of it.
