Owing to the sickness Of VIM NJ. Wallbridge,
Esq, the Clerk, the official returns, although all in
could not be opened in season for our paper.
We thank our friends from Yellow Spring, Union
and Huron, for sending returns from their town
ships, but did not receive them from the 9TH
er precincts, we cannot make out full table. We
therefore give the reported vote the sheriff and
Collector as we find it in the Gazette of Yesterday

The National Fast


Was observed in this place in a very becoming
manner. The stores and places of business were
all closed and the citizens generally and cheerfuly
relinquished their avocations. The churches were
well filed, and never have we seen Fast Day more
appropriately kept. At nine O'Clock there was
Prayer Meeting in the vestry Of the Methodist
church. At half past 10, large concourse assem-
bled at the Methodist Church, where an excellent
and appropriate discourse was delivered by the Rev.
J. G. Shnn, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church. At
half past 3, q Prayer and Conference meeting was
held in the Presbyterian Church, in which several
participated. That house was also quite full. In
the evening at O'Clock, large crowd assembled
in the Congregational Church, where the Rev. D. N.
Smith, Of the Methodist Church, preached heart
stirring and highly interesting sermon. In the dis
courses delivered and in all the prayers offered our
principal National sins were pointed out and ac-
knowledged, and we cannot hut hope that much
good may grow out Of these services. Our own
wonderful escape from the epidemic, as a commu-
nifty, was not lost sight Of and suitable public ac-
Observation-Disclosures such exemption to
Gods goodness-were made during the day. If the
day was as conscientiousy observed in other pla-
ces as It was in Burlington, may reasonably ex-
pect great good to grow out Of it.

County Election.

county EieCtlOus
Not man on the wing ticket was elected on Mon
day last. Every one here knows the cause. The
falling off in the vote, compared to last August,
when the official returns from the various town
ships shall come in, will partially show the cause.
In this township alone, the vote was one hundred
and forty mine less than it was last August. we,
.ha not be surprised to learn that nearly two hum
dred wings refused to vote on account OF dissats-
notion OF some kind. A large number were under
the impression that if they voted for the wing ticket
AZ it was constituted, they would identify them
selves with the Free Soil party. Not that they
were in favor of an extension Of slave territory but
they thought of the past wrongs they had sufiere;
from this party and their Inconsistencies, and re-
fused to vote for ticket which they thought gave
sembIance to such an impression. The attempt to
remedy this act at the meeting on last Saturday
week appears now to have been failure. But the
wing party in old Des Moines isn't dead yet, the
obituary in Yesterdays Gazette to the contrary not
withstanding. Far from it. Both parties stand in
false position at the present time. The late cleo
ton cannot be claimed by the locos as test of the
strength ofthe parties in this county Neither will
1t be if they are sincere. Democrats voted Tor
wings and wings for democrats.
The Official vote on the State ticket will only prove
what we have before said that between one and two
hundred wings refused to vote. The Gazette claims
this number as their majority the State ticket.
Now those who know how evenly the parties are
balanced in this county, will see at once the cause
Of this majority. It is because that number OF
wings staid at home. Let us at the next election
present ticket on which the whole wing party in
this county unite, and we viii agree to demon
strate what we have stated.

narration Of them every endeavor is made

ate occurrences. Sad as this seems, il il
nevertheless possible to see that il has led
to much good, despite the spirit BY which
it is prompted. Had the English people
been stirred by correct representations Of
what has taken place both in Hungary
and in Rome, and by powerful appeals to
their sympathy on the part Of the press
generally, they would probably before this
have embroiled themselves by interfer-
ence. Such course would have been
disastrous for the ultimate liberties Of Eu-
rope. We are now gaining strength BY
peace, which, when the less disciplined
races around us. Frustrated by their mu-
tual contests shall have become wiser from
adversely, will enable us to exercise liv-
ing influence for their advantage.

IMPOSITION UPON TRAvELERs.-We have receiv-
ed an interesting and detailed account from MIR
James Terry recently from Ireland, Of the gross I'M
position that was practised upon him and four ladies
he had under his charge, from some Of the agents
OF Leech s Co.'S Line from New York to Chicago.
After paying in New York all that was asked for to
carry them through, he was not only charged enor-
mously on the way and when he arrived at Buffalo,
but was also treated most shamefuy by some OF the
same gang. We think if the sympathy of our peo-
pie was sufficiently awakened on the subject Of
such treatment to strangers coming to this cou,ry
and full exposure made ofthe rasc lily ir,positions
to which they are frequently subjected by these
harry agents of steamboat. and rail road lines, stop
might be put to suc., outrages. We have not only
heard of such ;mpositions being practiced upon inn
migrant :trangers, but also upon some of our own
citizens or the famous Michigan Central Rail Road.
! At the Office where you enter your name and pay
through you may expect that all your trouble is over;
they will tell you it is but it is but just begun. At
almost ever station you will have TO pay extra for
something, and be subject to many other petty an
noyances into the bargain. The only remedy one Of
| our citizens could obtain on being thus imposed
upon not long since to catch up club and knock
down one Of these land pirates.
Mr. Terry, who is an Irish gentleman, has given
us the names Of Lawrence Wild SO John Street, N.
Y, Kinds Co., n. Y. and H. Perkins, agent, Buff
falo as men of whom travellers should beware. The
agents in New York agreed to take his party through
to Chicago for eleven pounds, sterling, which he
he paid but before he got through he had to pay six
teen pounds, fifteen shillings and one penny.

The recent terrible fire at Chicago is supposed to
have been the work of an incendary. Since then
an attempt has been made to set fire to that spacious
phe OF buildings, the sherman House, in that city.
From some circumstances that have tran Inspired and
threats thrown out at st Louis, we should Judge that
It is IS much through revenge Is the hope Of plum
der, that so many fires take place. n the laws are
not better enforced than they have been, and fewer
pardons for crime allowed, Migrants win consider
themselves tolerated to do such acts. s.'
The Gazette is at its demagogueism again, in its
endeavor to cast odium on the Administration for
changing the names Of two OF the Post Offices in
Iowa. He knows, as well as we do, that such chan

ministration, but by the petition Of those who re-

captured Raab and that the Emperor en-
tered the conquered city. There are like
wise rumors of battle with the Hunga-
rians headed by the BEN, in Transylva-
MIA.
With regard to these several accounts it
is TO be mentioned, first, that Jellachich is
notorious, even among the Austrians, for
the utter recklessness of his bulletins,
and that he never yet suffered defeat on
which he did not announce forthwith the
humiliation of the enemy next, that the
battle at Szeben, in which the Hungarians
are reported to have sustained loss of
only 300 men, likely, from the moderate
figures with which the Austrians have
here contented themselves, turn out to
have been disastrous to the Imperialists
thirdly, that the capture of the Raab wa.
nothing more than the occupation of
that place after nominal resistance on the
part of the Hungarians, in pursuance of
their old plan of retiring before their enc
mics, upon whom they inflicted some dam
age while they themselves sustained
scarcely any loss; and finally that the fact
OF there being rumors of battle with Benz,
while nothing is said of his having been
utterly routed, which would have been
the most moderate report of the Austrians,
even if he had merely suffered the slight
est check, suggests strongly the possibility
that he may really have gained great
success.
Still we must not let our loathing of the
cowardly oppressors, blind us TO the inn
mense nature Of their resources and the
critical prospects Of the Hungarians. 1t
may be that the Penalties in store for Aus
tria and Russia are destined by Provi-
