PHILADELPHIA, Oct II. 1s54.-The smoke

Philadelphia Oct II, ls54.-The smoke
of yesterdays battle is clearing away, and
politicians are summing up list of the VIC
torious, killed and wounded. As predicted,
the Wings have carried their candidate for
Governor by handsome majority; and there
is but little doubt that the Wings and Amer
leans have elected n majority of Congress
and Assemblymen throughout the State. At
this early hour, it is impossible to give relia-
BILE figures in regard to the result; but the
Wings claim GLORIOUS victory" in their eff
forts of yesterday, which they have indeed
obtained in Pennsylvania. From Ohio, the
intelligence is also cheering for the Wings,
although as yet, but little of definite nature
has been received from that State.

0T The spasmodic efforts making by the
leading democratic prints to show that the
Know Nothing movement is an offshoot of
the Abolition party, wont do. In no single
instance have the Know Nothings elected a
factionist to Office, or evinced any affinity for
the fanatics who war against the peculiar
institution of the South There is no sense
nor honesty in such shameless attempts to
abuse and mislead the public mind in regard
to movement which up to this time has re-
suited in much good. Give the devil his due
though the heavens fall.

BAD NEws.-The Rogersvlle Times says.
the intelligence received thus far from cattle
merchants is of the most gloomy character.
1t is feared that the large dealers will all be
very heavy losers-many of them are un.
questionably ruined. We hear of good
many drovers returning from the Valley of
Virginia with their stock, having been unable
to sell at any price. The Charlottesville VA
Advocate of last week contains the follow
ing discouraging paragraph:
A drove Of 600 stock cattle passed through
this place inst Saturday on their wav back to
Tennessee. They had been driven down the
valley to Winchester and thence across to
Loudon and through Cupepper, Rappahnn-
mock and Orange. The owner was unable to
dispose of them at any price within reason,
owing to the short crops and anticipated
scarcity of provender this winter. He offer
ed the drove MS he passed through town, Mt n
loss to him Of $4,000. Other drovers have
passed through Stanton on their way back,
under like circumstances.
Mr.. b. Johnson Barbour, who happened in
Stanton as one of these droves was return
ing, bought 100 head of very likely cattle at
a very low figure.

DRAKETowN COPPER MINEs.-A friend
has sent us the following account of the
Draketown Copper Mines, recently opened,
in Polk county, Ga:
These Mines, named in honor of Sir Fran
els Drake, are situated in the southeast cor
ner of Polk county, Georgia, near the Talla-
poosa River, on what is called the Wadroupe
property The shaft is 81 by II feet, sunk
on hill at an elevation ofabout 60 feet, to
the depth of 37i feet when blue or black OK
ide of copper was cut the whole size of the
shaft.
Draketown is miles from Long Leaf Post
Office, Paulding county, Georgia; about 10
miles from Vanwort, in Polk county, and Is
miles from Cedar Town, the seat of justice
for Polk county; 20 miles from Dallas, the
seat of justice in Paulding county; IL miles
from Villa Rica, % miles from Carrollton, %
miles Ackworth, 80 miles from Gainesville,
40 miles from Marietta, 80 miles from ATTAIN
ia, and about 80 miles from Palmetto on the
West Point Railroad.
It is about 4 miles from McClarty's shaft,
where copper was cut soon after it was cut
at Draketown. The ore from both Of these
shafts are of the same kind, blue oxide, and
appears, as far as examined, to exist in great
abundance. Various other shafts are being
sunk in the neighborhood, and some of them
have very fair prospects of cutting copper,
and no doubt will do so in n short time.

HYPocRIsY IS AFUSNy THISG.-Hypocrisy
is very funny. 1t walks into the church of n
Sunday morning, sleek, clean. shaved, and as
smiling as man with new wife for the
third time. 1t joins in the anthem, responds
to the prayers, listens attentively to the SER
mons and dencons. 1t is as free with the
women as rouge or prepared chalk, and talks
to young girls with the greatest of freedom.
The missionary cause is its special care; all
the neighbors are drummed up to "come for
ward and aid benevolent object" Some
subscribe large sums, and others throw in
small amounts-the large contributors get
their names into the papers, while the small
ones are content with having done their duty.
The same hypocrisy we have seen severely
prayerful of Sunday, and on Monday it bar
tered pair of gaiters with courtezan. 1t
has been known to turn up its eyes with hor.
ror ut an oath, and before fairly recovered
from the shock TO swindle q laboring man
out of money which should buy his children
bread. II is prevalent in some cheap groceries,
in the shape Of short weights; is exhibited in
wet goods; predominates in coffee; is power.
full in milk, and-it's everywhere. Wherever
you meet the fellow, shake him off eschew
his acquaintance-don't let your wife know
there is such n character. Better be Mormon,
a thing-a-my, a street contractor, or ex-treas-
urer, than hypocrite. It's hazardous ballast,

Sentinel of the 18th inst says:
The last few warm days have had an unfa-
vorable influence on the health of the city,
and there has been marked increase of new
cases since the change. 1t is, however, true
that generally they are Of very mild char.
acter, and yield readily to prompt treatment.
There are those, however, who will not act
promptly when attacked or prudenty after il,
and they fall victims to their temerity. There
are comparatively few deaths no,o, that can
not be traced to one of these causes.
Among the new cases in the last forty
eight hours, we regret to notice three physi-
clans Drs. Rossgnol, +. Carter and A. f.
Bignon. DR.. bearing, we are glad to learn,
is recovering. The same may be said of
Mayor Robertson.
Since the foregoing was in type we have
had an interview with some of the physicians,
who express the opinion that the cases now
occurring are generally of more virulent
character than for some time past.

twice, when piece of the wheel house struck
his son instantly killing him. The scene was
awful to behold. The water was strown with
men, women and children, crying in vain for
help. Captain Lucie and eleven others got
on the paddle box. All died but three, who
were rescued by the ship Cambria, and taken
to Quebec.

of the road and allow the churches to take
care of their ministers. AS President Of the
road he could do nothing else in justice to
himself and to the Company. As an indi-
vidual we are quite sure he will always have
the heart to bestow ga cup of cold water"
where it is needed or merited as cheerfully
as any of those who complain and feel agrey-
ed by his order recalling the free tickets. We
repeat, the whole Dead Head system is m
imposition and fraud upon the stocShold-
ers, it is being abolished on the Northern
lines, Ohio and Indiana are doing the same,
and men who insist on different course
are behind the day. We hope to see it en-
tirely discarded in this State-al cut off,
preachers and laymen-"infdel editors" "dis-
ciples of Tom Painc," and all. If the laity
and laymen half pay and half starve their
pastors and preachers and force them forth
upon the ungodly public in the character of
mendicants, it is no doubt very hard and un-
just; but there is no obligation, moral, civil,
or religious, resting upon railroad companies
to take them up and make them as other
men. The obligation to provide literally for
the faithful minister belongs to his church,
and when a congregation avoid or neglect it,
believing, tightfsted hard-griping souls that
they are, that the outside world will kindly
frank the good man through, they are guilty
of u sin of omission as da,nning as any in
the whole calendar, and from the penalties
of which all the whining, cant, long prayers
and ceDsorious and pharasaical lectures to in
corporated companies, worshippers ofungod-
ly mammon, and infidel editors of newspa-
pers, cannot relieve them. Remember that,
too, Mr. "Layman," the next time you pros
trate yourself and lift your eyes and voice to-
wards the clouds And when you feel dis
posed to favor the world with another one of
your rather remarkable productions on the
great wickedness of railroad managers and
rank infdclity ofnewspaper editors, who don't
happen to be bounded in their views by the
same narrow and bgoted notions which sur
round yourself, allow us to commend to your
deep, earnest and sincere consideration the
following text, of which we believe Tom
Paine is not the author:
"Judge not, that we be not judged: for as
We judge We shall be judged, and as ye mete
out even so shall it be measured unto you
again."
