NEW .uAMpsHIRE ELECTION.

The eyes Of the whole nation have bsen
upon New Hampshire for months past, for
there great battle has been going on. A
conflict OF far greater Importance than the
European war. But the contest 10 over--the
battle 10 won, and the combatants retire from
the field to rest from th,ir abors. Nov
n0mpshire being the State in which Presi-
dent Pierce resides it was confidently expect
cd by hin that he would bs upheld there if
nowhere clso. Vain hope! Delusive idea!
His ranks are broken--his cohorts are de-
featei and routed, and he turns away sorrow
full for he is wounded in the house Of his
friends. Fusion has been most eminsntly
successful in the oil Gra mite State. Her
Democracy, heretofore as Impresnable as her
granite hills, have al last succumb ed to the
Fusion army, and hauled down their flag. 1t
was of no oso for her to hold out whe n all her
sisters were goirg the other way so she quiz
e,ly surrendered. The following tslsgrs phic
despatchos tell the tsle:-

Progress of the yellow Fever

1t must be admitted. that there is
some reason to fear that that fearful
scourge, the yellow fever, is marching
steadily toward the North; and that
before the close of another season, we
may be compelled to record It's rava.
ges at points, which for long time
have been considered safe from its APP
proach. DR.. Mott, Of Mobile, says
that this disease has travelled steadily
on, since its 6rst appearance in Rio
Janeiro five years ago, along the Car
ribbean Gulf and Atlantic Coasts, un-
Ill il has at length reached Norfolk
He believes that it has been travelling
Northward by regular stages from Ja-
metro. where it re-appeared with great
viruIence as an epidemic four years
ago. In 1852 it ravaged the West In.
dies. In 1883 il desolated New Or
leans in 1854 it swept over Savan-
nah and Charleston, and in 1855 de-
climates the towns at the foot of Ches-
apeak Bay.
This epidemic has extended as far
North a. Hartford and Midileiown,
Connecticut. and Catskill, New York;
and but little more than twenty years
ago, was as fatal in Philadelphia, as
it was last year in Charleston and Sa.
vannah. We believe, that it is now
generally conceded. that the disease is
contagious-but, is not always com
municated by personal contact blu,
follows the natural channels Of travel
and commerce and unless carefully
guarded against, may produce the mosI
destructive effects.

Tines have changed amazingly
since we were young. When. at
this season Of the year, we had to
pitch into the corn. field to cut down
stocks for fodder, we had to hunt up an
oldscythe. spend about day in max
ing "corn cutter, "and it was only
an old scythe after all. Then, when
we were done with il, we had to lend
il to somebody, and as It was only
an "old scythe" ii was never brought
home. Now all you have to DO is to
go to Gallons and get one ready made
made on purpose. so nice and SO
cheap. that none but the LATEST kind
ola neighhor would borrow it, and
none but very slovenly farmer would
leave i. out to rust.
Again. when we thought Of fixing
up in a new Sunday suit, the necessity
6rst had to be argued at length then
the question Of atfording it. These
questions settled in the affirmative, we
had to go to the store and pick out
the stuff. and then go to the tailor's
and be measured" and then, if we
were in a hury-and who is not when
a new suit is coming? we had to wait
our "turn" and then 60 and have to
wait another week and so on. 1t was
vexatious-very troublesome. But
now all you have to do is TO determine
to "fix up" and then go to Bakers and
there you find the cloth picked out, cut
out, and made up to your liking, and
you have nothing to do but count out
the cash and stiff away all new out
side. from top to toe, neat hat and
all.

LICENSE LAW IN ILLiSoIs.-Judge
Breese. at the present term of the
Madison Circuit Court, decided that
the law of the last session of the Leg
islature. entitled ian act for the sup
preston of intemperance. and to
amend chapter 80 Of the Revised Stat
utes." repealed all laws authorizing
the granting Of licences for the sale Of
sPirisuous liquors in Illinois. This
prohibitory law was submitted to the
people of the State, for their accept
ace or rejection, at a recent election,
and they rejected it by large major
|ity. Itseems however, that its passage
had the effect Of repeating all license
laws on the subject, and now the Iarg-
est liberty is to be allowed to all who
may wish to sell liquor.
