MISCELLANEOUS.

How GEN. PIERCE RECEIVED THE News OF
HIS ELEcTIoN.-A letter from Concord, N. II.
to the Union, says the democrats Of that
place became wild with delight on Tuesday
night on receiving the news Of the election Of
General Pierce, and that the President elect
was apparently the only selfpossessed calm
and quiet man in the place on that night. He
received the victorious bulletins announcing
his success with scarcely change Of counte-
nance, and soon after quietly retired to bed
The letter adds:
" His habits are plain and unostentatious
His practice yields him large income and
he is generous to a fault 1t is said in Con-
cord, by those who know him WELL that he
will spend his Presidential $4,000 every
year The health of Mrs. Pierce is too feeble
for housekeeping, and so, with their only
child, a smart boy Of dozen summers, they
board in the private family of W. Williams, a
respectable citizen engaged in the extensive
manufactory, at this place. of coaches, omni-
buses, and railroad cars. The house is most

noble old elm trees.

A Tempest In q Teapot

The Union has for many day agonized over a
great and stupendous fraud Of a most wiched char
acter! The whole history of this fraud appears
to be that, little while after the proclamation of
Toombs, Stephens & Co., declaring that they
could not go for Gen. Scott, some wag, to bur-
lesque them, paraphrased their proclamation, and
signed the names of Truman Smith and other
well-known Wings to it. The point in it was,
that as Toombs & Co. had not acted with the
Wing party for years, their reasons for not going
for Scott were such as would have been given by
other Democrats; and the reasons given in the
article to which the name of Mr.. Smith and
others were attached, against voting for Pierce,
were such as would be urged by the Wings. 1t
was no doubt designed asa joke, and laughed at as
such; but the magnanimous Union does not scru-
pie to endeavor to produce the impression that it
was a prodigious attempt at deception on the
part of those whose names were signed to it
Those who do not acknowledge the Union t.

brought upon the people Of Ireland by the over

Irish Parliaments to their own manufacturing in

trade and manufactures to those of England by
British legislation and British free trade. The
conclusions thus reached are not original with
Mr.. Carey, but are based on and fortified by ex-
tracts from the writings of O'Connell, Meagher,
and other eminent Irish patriots. 1t does seem
to us impossible, Greeley continues, that men can
