Our community has been thrown into
spasms lately by the discovery of several quick
silver mines. They are said to be rich beyond
all dreams that ever shook mining rods before.
You have only to knock rock to pieces, kindle
fire under it, catch the:vapor, and it rolls off
a liquid stream of quicksilver. Everf con-
ceivable vessel is now in requisition for col
lecting this precious vapor. Some take the
pots from their kitchen, and some the warming
pans from their beds-all catching and con-
densing vapor. Quicksilver will soon be so
plenty here, that we can fix out our pumps for
thermometers, our lakes for mirrors. and
the doctors will be ready to salivate cent?

GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR ELECTED
The Grand Result.

Sufficien, returns have been received TO
uneerngly indicate the election of Gen.
TAYLOR President, and WILLARD
FILLMORE Vice President Of this great
Republic, for four years from the 4h Of
March next .,.
As this glad news came rolling over the
country,it sent thrill of Joy TO the hearts
of millions, and the exclamation involunta.
rily escaped the lips Of thousands, I" THE
COUNTRY IS SAFE!"
Ayel "rHE COUNTRY Is sArE~ Her
destinics will soon be committed TO the

dition to his recent pledges to tina, effect,
we have his whole life as a guarantee.

1LLINoIs.-The election returns from this
State indicate large gains for Gen. Taylor
upon The election in 1874, when Polk car.
ried the State by nearly thirteen thousand
These gains are not confined TO any partic-
ular part Of the State, but are found on the
north and in the south, in the east and the
middle counties. Whether they will be
sufficient to annihilate Folks majority, and
thus give the State to Taylor, is however
problematical. The effort has been nigh.
~ one on the part of the wings, and proves
what may be done by energy and en,husi.
asm in such cause. If the Wings are no,
successful now, they will at least have as.
certained their strength, and this will be OF
great service TO them in future contests.
In 40 counties the wing gain is little
over 6s0o votes. There are one hundred
counties in the State, and it would require
nearly the same rate of gain to secure the
State for Gen. Taylor. This cannot be
calculated upon, with any safety, as almos,
all the counties in which Free Soir' exer.
cised any influence have been heard from.

which give handsome majority Of the
votes of the Electoral college. We think
this majority will yet be increased.
With the result of this election, we sin.
cerely believe great majority of the peo
pie of the United States will be pleased
and notwithstanding Gen. Taylor will re.
ceive the Government enormously in debt
and consequently greatly embarrassed, ye
we opine by the time his four years are
out, so satisfactorily will he have admins
tered its affairs, that he will retire from
office with stronger hold upon the affec
lions Of the peoole, than has so recently
been Indicated in his behalf: if, indeed, they
permit him then TO retire.
The moral effect of this victory, is in
calculable. Party debasement and unscru.
pulousness, will be no recommendation to
posts of honor, trust, or profit under Gen.
Taylor. Honesty. capability, fathfulness
TO the constitution, must be the qualifca-
lions of his co-laborers and subordinates.
While, as ever, he will stand ready to de-
fend the honor and fame of his country, TO
death, if need be, the honor and interests
Of other nations will be held sacred. We
may look for laudable efforts to increase
the bonds Of union in our now distracted
country, rather than lustful desire for the
territory of neighboring countries, which
overieaps constitutional barriers, and ma
tional rights, producing war, with j's innu'
merable train Of evils.
Well may the silver-haired patriot re-
joice that he has lived to see man Of the
olden school chosen to preside over the
desiinies Of that country whose liberties
he has fought to sperpetuate Well may
the midde-aged rejoice in the election of a
man whose honesty and patriotism, whose
devotion TO the country and its prosperity,
gives guarantee Of her onward and up.
ward career to glory and renown Well
may the young rejoice in having SO promi,
nen,iy before them, in the persons of the
President and Vice Presiden, elect, a veri-
fcation Of one. of the most beautiful fea-
lures of our beloved country, that her
most honored and responsible posts are
open to each and every one of them--and
that her citizens WILL REWARD Honesty
and Merit.

The county of Linn is inferior to none
in point of soil and water advantages. The
prairie and woodland is admirably proper
toned, rich and productive, guaranteeing
to the Farmer ample remuneration for his
labor; the country is well watered by
streams, which have some of the best mills
on them in the State, both saw and grist.
The best possible evidence Of the advan-
tages of Linn county, is the rapidity with
which it has been settled. AS recently as
