B. TAILMAN.-This gentleman is the very imper

like piece of cork in rain barrel, he's up in anoh
er before you've missed him. He is preparing to dc
an extensive commission business. By arrangements
which he has effected with the Railroad Company and
the teamsers he is enabled to forward goods to trad
ers in the mountains, without any delay either al
Sacramento or Granite, and also without incurrine
the customary charges for carriage His plans are
such that freight does not stop after it leaves the city
until it is unoaded by the teamster. See his scale

known that nearly the entire Wing party in that
State goes for Fillmore, and no reasonable person
can doubt for moment that Fillmore will receive
two-thirds of the votes cast this year for Wing

The Kentucky Elections.

The Democratic and Republican papers have been
claiming the late elections in Kentucky for judges,
as Democratic victory. The three Republican pa
pers in New York City first heralded the account,
though without giving the figures for their state
ments. The motive by which these journals are ac-
tuated, is very apparent. The editors understand
perfectly the low estimation in which Buchanan, di-
vested of ubricating PLATFORM is held in the South
They know that he will come up from the Southern
States with not than forty electoral votes and
that his chance is desperate one in the North; So,
Buchanan being peculiarly popular in no quarter, it
is manifestly the policy of Fremonts supporters on
general principles to give Buchanan the best possible
showing up in order to prevent national democrats
from leaving him and supporting Fillmore, who is
the only candidate they fear. The following, which
we find in the Sacramento american, will give some
idea of how much Of victory the Democrats have
had in Kentucky and how much it is worth to the
Democracy, as indicative of Buchanans strength in
Kentucky:
We have before us the Frankfort Commonwealth
of August 10Th, containing official returns from all
but three counties in the State, it being the first full
return have seen Of the election and it presents it
in an entirely new light from what it has been pre-
sented by the Buchanan and Fremont papers, and
fully convinces that upon the popular vote stead
of achieving victory, the Democrats have been
badly whipped. Let us give the figures just as they
exist, that " he who runs may read"
The returns show that five Democrats, three Amer
leans, and two Wings, are elected Judges, and upon
this the Democrats claim their victory though it is
admitted by their own papers that in three Of the
districts where there were large American aorities,
that party declined making nominations, upon the
honorable ground that it was a principle with them
not to carry politics into the judiciary; yet in spite
of this, the Democrats nominated candidates and
gave them united support which elected them,
though the districts were largely American. This
game played in various parts of the State, which
is the Of the election of the five Democratitic
Judges. But to the figures:

DlED,--1n this place Sabbath, June Sth,
at2i o'clock, p. NJ. in the firm hope of blessed
Immortality, Mr.. HUGH. NJ. DERING, in the
2Sth year of his age.
1t was the writer's privilege 10 visit him fro.
quently in his last sickness, which was protract.
ed and often accompanied with very great pain,
yet never was he heard TO murner OF repine, but
was aiways patient and cheerful.
Though he did not express hope in Christ
until about two months before his death, vet af.
ter that time he gave tie brightest evidence of a
renewed heart. This joy was never extatic, but
at tall times calm and peaceful his faith was un.
wayering; his hope. bright and his peace perfect
to the last.
His only desire 10 live was that he might gio.
rlty God, and manifest his love to the Saviour by
a .godly life and though disappointed in this
wish and cut off in the vgor Of manhood with
bright prospects from temporal things in the Iu.
ture, he was perfectly resigned 10 the will of God.
BLESSED are the dead which die in the Lord.
;. yea saith the Spirit that they may rest from
their labors; and their works do follow them"
