The Late Military Election.
tain.

The asst Johustown Transcript contains an
editorial article and two communications in
reIat ion TO the late Military election in this
county, in which various charges of manage
ment, illegal voting &C.. are imputed TO men,
bers connected with the vo olunteer company in
this place, and against ourself in particular
w thout any intention whatever of getting in
a newspaper quarrel with our neighbors of
Johnstown, we merely state for the informa-
tion Of the public that the majority of the state
ments made by the writers in the Transcript
are incorrect, having no foundation in truth.
We do not believe that the discussion has been
commenced on the part of our neighbors of the
Transcript with view to any beneficial re
suits, and we kRo1c that Capt. John lIum-
phreys duly appreciates the mock sympathy
that is now expressed for him by few preten :

exist is to be attributed. We are prepared tt
prove at any time, when called upon, that th'
statements in circulation in reference to ou

disposed to believe that they have been uttere'

The ADVANTAGE OF HAVING TRUNK
In reference to the overlooking of animals,
Sir Charles Napier gives an anectote of
an elephant, which really goes far to justi-
fly Pope's epithet of ''half-reasoning," as
applied to it: 'sHere l cannot refrain
from telling story of one of the Scinde
elephants. He belongs to the baggage
corps, and has been attached 20 regiment
marching up to Mooltan. My letter tells
me that Kubader Moll allows them to load
him as much as they ike. and then, delib-
erately with his trunk, takes all off again
beyond the quantity he thinks fair to put
on his back. They dare not put any
thing on him again"

Santa Anna has recently Illuminated from

Santa Anna has recently Illuminated from
his retreat at Kingston, Jamaica, an elab-
crate reply, in volume of three hundred
pages, to the accusations of treason
brought against him in the Mexican Con-
gress. The wiley ex-President makes
out, as usual, good case; and shows, ap-
parenhy, that his efforts during the recent
war were fruitless, owing to the want of
cooperation on the part of the governmen,
the lack of funds, circumstances over which
he had no control, &c. He enters into
an acute biographical account of all his ex-
ploits, hardships and reverses, and evil
IDENTIFY aims more at making an impression
for the future than at vindicating the past.

GThe tories of Canada, whose indi-
gnation against the governmen has been
expressed so violently, will not be appea-
sed much by the tone of the London press,
or the action of parliament. Lord Elgin,
the Governor, has been sustained fully by
the ministry, and the London Times in
suits the tories with all sorts of opprobrious
epithets, as unprincipled eemagogues. who
display their loyalty by disrespect and in
dignities offered to the government. We
shall have fresh rumors of annexation
probably, after these comments are read
in Canada.
