APOLOGY.

We have been absent almost continuously Tor
more than month, and of course many OF osr
editorial duties have not been performed. Among
others, we owe this explanation to our friends Of
the Catawba Light Infantry, whose manifesto IN
behalf Of the Militia System appears in our col
umns, this week. The communication was direct
ed to the editor personally, and consequently a.
waited our return.
Correspondents having business with the paper
will consult our mutual interests BY addressing
their rfavors to "THE YoRKv1LIE ENoUInER." They
will then meet with prompt attention.

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.


The official vote for Governor Of the State OF
New York is published OF last, showing Repub-
can plurality of 1852 votes. The tabuated vote
stands as follows: Democratic, 22S,00O; Repub'
lican, 246, 900; American, 1,O2S; Abolitionist,
(abou) 1000.
The Democrats have gained largely on the elec-
ton before the last. The Republicans have lost
no small number and the Americans fall short
by about six thousand votes. The Abolition vote
is mere humbug and is now properly named the
Gerritt Smith and Temperance vote. AS regards
the true opinion of the people of the State in es
pect to slavery counted in ballots, the sum total
of the votes cast would represent it more accurate
" than the so.called Abolitionist vote as given
above Essentially, all parties and factions,
whether Democrats, Republicans or Americans,
are Antslavery. In an emergency there will be
no resource to foil back upon, except the personal
honesty the representatives may happen to have,
untrammelled by party rules. ....
The Abolition and Temperance candidate hon
cstly acknowledges that that ch.agitator and
incendiary, Seward, 6lched the tools Of his
(smith's) party and used them against him, all of
which, no matter how true would not have been
better for his chances for the Goyernorshp of New
York.
Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the State and
City. AS usual there were sermons and prayers
in the forenoon, great dinners after an interval
followed by liquid sprees, theatrca]s and such like

pie generally was norel-perhaps were we over
fastidous we would say outre-but ever lover
of simplicity when contrasted with afectation, VIC
saw many redeeming features in the hardy sons
of the backwoods. With ladies, so far, we con-
fess we are reasonably pleased, but Of course our
acauaintanceship is limited. We will tell you
more of them anon. There are one or two notice
able peculinrities- are great many widows
in proportion TO numbers, and you remember the
defnitiouI of q widow-"a woman who knows
what's what and is anxious to be farther informed
on the same subject" In the second place, the To-
dies marry at very early age-from fifteen to
sixteen generally. In the third place it is fash
ionable to stake snuff" For my part think this
fashion is just retaliation on the men who al-
most universally smoke pipes. Monticello is q
beautiful place-said to be very healthy-has
fourishing male and female institutes, and bids
fair to be town of considerable size and impor-
tance. Between it and the Mississippi lie the
finest body Of lands have ever seen. There is
Railroad in progress from Gaines Landing to Rcd
River which will enable the country to develop its
resources in q few years. Then it will become
the richest and most magnificent country on earth.
A grand destiny awaits it and few years now
will suffice to bring the splendid realization. In
this county Drew the price of land varies from
$500 unimproved, to $4,000 per acre improved.
