July &c, 1916.
To Me Editor of The Nninn.

To The Editor of The Union:
| have Just time TO state that having spent five
days at Copper Harbor, examining the copper mine
&c at that place. and having got everything in read
mess, we set off for this place, along the coast in an
open Macknac boat travelling by day, and camp
ing out at night We reached this post on yester-
day. the 25th instant. We have now been under
tents Fl nights. In coming up the shore of the
lake, we on one occasion experienced tremendous
rain accompanied with thunder, which wetted our
things to a considerable extent and partly filled the
boat with water
Onour way we spent good part of day at Eagle
river, and examined the mine in the process of be-
ing worked ut that place, but found it did not equal
our expectations.
We also stopped at the Ontonegon, the mineral
region bordering which, fifteen miles from the
lake, promises TO be good as any other portion OF
the mineral region, If not better.
have not time at present to enter fully into the
results Of observations have made, to describe
the incidents aud adventures Of the long journey
have performed along the lake shore for the distance
Of about 500 miles, from Sault Ste. Marie TO La
Pone. There many things wish TO say, and
TO describe, &c; but as the schooner tUncle Tom,
by which write, is just about leaving ] have not
time at present | must reserve these things for o
future opportunity

Your obedient servant,

These rates afford high inducements to agents

ELECT TON RETURNS.
KENTUCKY.

Extract Of a letter 10 the Editor Of the Union:
LEXINGTON, (KY.) August 4, l645.
DEAR SIR: The elections commenced to. day, and
if am not much deceived, the democratic party
will achieve most glorious victory. Whigery is
decidedly ON the wane; and am confident that Il
f. Marshall will be elected the Hon. G. Davis
by a handsome majority. The polls closed to-day
Danver, Marshall 1888, Davis 407;. in Georgetown,
Scott county, Marshall 255, Davis 239.
In this county (Fayette) the wings calculated on
beating US from 600 800 votes. We have two
precincts, (both of which are whig,) and Davis's
majority in the county, tonight, cannot be more
than one hu ndred; and we now confidently believe
we cannot lose more than from two to two hundred
and fifty majority. In Scott, the democratic party
calculate on getting $50 majority. We have now no
doubt it will go over AGO. as there three precincts
all largely democrauc--none Of the balance of the
counties heard from.
Mr.. Clay took his stand in the courthouse yard,
would not do; his iron hand had been too long upon
them, and many have broken their chains, and re-
nounced whigery for ever. From the signs of the
times, am inclined 10 believe that we will get eight
OF our Congressman out of the ten, viz French Tib-
bats, Marshall, Nuttall, in the Louisville district,
Martin in Whites, McCreve, in Green's, Stone, and
Boyd. We have good chance to re elect Caldwell,
and will make close race in Orders. You will see
we are in high spirits and the wings are like rats
deserving sinking ship, we are rising in energy,
resolved TO conquer our enemies. enclose you
one of our bulletins.
will give you my estimate of the result of this
most exciting election.

GoLpsBoRoUGH, N. c., Aug. 8.
DEAR SIR: Our elections came off yesterday for
the next Congress. In this county, (Wayne,)
James C. Dobbin (democrat) beats Haughton (coon)
Cos maiority!!! This heads Mr.. Folks vote lit
tie; but the President need not be jealous, for Mr..
increased majority to the popularity of the admins
tration If our farmers have done as well in the
other counties, Haughton will not be in scaling

Very respectfully,
Your obedent servant.
I. RrcmE, esq
Wayne county is in the district lately represented
by General Saunders, and gave Mr.. Polk majority
of 657 over Mr.. Clay. Democratic gain, since the
presidential election, 30 in that county.
From the Richmond Enquirer we learn that Col
Biggs the democratic candidate in the district lately
represented by Mr.. Rayncr, (whig,) has beaten his
wing opponent some forty or fifty votes in North
ampton county, which gave Mr.. Clay l55 majority
thus showing a clear democratic gain of about 200
votes in Northampton.
The Wilmington Journal says that the majority
of Gen. Mckay (dem.) over Mr.. Mearcs, (whig,)
in Wilmington, was 80. From private letters, we
have every to hope that we shall gain at least
one member of Congress in North Carolina.
