The Vermont election takes place to-day.
There are but two parties, we believe, in
that !Sate--the Democrats and the Black
Republicans, who have candidates in the
field. John G. SAKE, the poet, is the candi-
date of the Democrats. The Black Repub-
licans in Vermont, are peculiarly copper
hsaded-withoutr rhyme or reason; and pass
unconstitutional laws with regard to the
slavery matter, just for the purpose of show
ing venom. We wish, therefore, for the
sake of routing them, that SAKE could be
elected. But there is hardly any chance.

We have advices from Rio Janeiro to tho
10Th of July. No change in the position of
affairs had taken place in the Oriental repub-
lie. The war preparations Of the agents of
Urquiza at that place still continued. The
question of the fertilization of the island of
Martin Garcia by Buenos Ayres had given
rise to much discussion unfayorableto Buenos
Ayres. The most active movements Of troops
were taking place in Paraguay, and war
steamers were preparing for some unknown
expedition.

An Affecting Incident.

1t il seldom wo hear VI such a remarkable
manifestation of flial devotion or heroism on
the part Of child as is evinced in the affect
ing incident we are about to relate. The
age of the child was two years, and it is de-
scribed as being very Intelligent, and as
possessing high and broad forehead, such
a. would indicate mind Of no ordinary
mould. But to proceed with the narrative:
On the afternoon of the 18th instant Mr.. Nash,
the keeper of Grand Point Light at lslesboro,
started with skitf for the purpose of moor
ing boat few rods from the shore. While
in the act Of casting over the kedge anchor
the skif capsized and threw him out
Because of his lameness he was unable to
swim and upon rising to the surface, seized hold
of the gunwale of the skiff, and at once hal
looed to his little boy, Elisha, who was look
ing out OF the open window, 1.-THE house being
but a short distance from the shore, to give
his mother the alarm. Mrs. Nash, who had
been confined tn the house by illness for a
fortnight, heard her husbands voice, and at
once started for the rescue. Before leaving
the house she charged Elisha to remain on
the doorstep till her return. Seeing no
hope of saving her husband herself, she ran
to the house of eighbor for assistance
Elisha beholding his fathers perilous sltua-
ton could remain quiet no longer, and so ran
down to the shore, and at once began to wade
into the water to attempt to help him. His
father babe him keep out of the water and
sit on the shore until his mother came
Seating himself upon the shore he patiently
waited for his mothers approach.
Mr.. Nash, by struggling hard to maintain
his position. had well-nigh exhausted him.
self, and while clinging to the side of the
skiff it again turned over, and he thereby
lost his hold. Bidding his child farewell,
he sank beneath the waves, with the belief
that he should never rise alive. But to his
Joy as he sank he caught hold of the rope
with which the boat was moored and by this
means drew himself up and got on board
Upon looking for his child he found he had
disappeared. The little fellow, thinking to
render his father the essential aid, betoOk
himself to the water as he saw him sink, and
wadcd out as far as he could, and then reach
ed forth his hands towards his father. The
strong tide bore the little fellow beyong his
depth, and in the quiet of death he relin-
quished his hold on life. When the neigh
borS arrived they found Mr.. Nash in the
boat quite exhausted, and the body of his
devoted child floating near the beach.
Oar informant, who saw the corpse of the
boy soon after it was recovered, says that It's
tiny hands were still outstretched, and tho
eyes wide open, as if still anxiously looking
in the direction of his father. As the fond
and heart-stricken parents bent over the
cherub-like form Of the darling one as it was
arranged for burial, many eyes, like theirs,
sufused with tears because of the pathetic |
tale connected with his death.-Be!tast

The N. Y. Commercial hardly thinks that
John Bell, Of Tennessee, said, that before he
would act ,ciM the Republicans" in poll
teal contest for the Presidency, they ''must
place themselves on national platform and
abjure sectional issues" He no doubt said
it. The National Conservative Opposition
will stand alone upon National platform
and will "abjure sectional issues" Those
who do not agree to this, are sectionalists
The candidates of the Conservative Opposi-
ton will not be sectional men-but honest
statesmen who love the Union, cherish the
Constitution, and respect the rights of the
States, and of all the States.

ALEXANDRIA,:
TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1859.

As we expected, the friends of Gov. Wise
will not patiently bear the course at present
pursued towards him, by those who are en-
deavoring to "rule him of the track" in the
Presidential race" An able writer in the
Richmond Enquirer says
al will simply admonish those gentlemen,
who have 50 industriously assailed Gov. Wise,
and have sought to establish their damning
charges of agitation" upon him, that his
friends have endured much and can endure
much for the sake of Democracy, but they
cannot suffer wanton attacks to be made by
the friends of other gentlemen, upon one
whose whole life has been distinguished by
a consistent devotion to Democratic, State
Rights principles. admonish them to re-
member that upon these very charges of "agi-
tation" and REORGANIZATION" their own MIR.
Hunter is the most assailable man in Fir-
ginia. We know their weak points, and if
we strike, cannot fail to make them finch

he cut hole large enough to pass his head.
Over the hole he nailed strips Of hoop iron,

he tarred the plank, and strewed the whole
with straw and shavings, so that when float
ing on the water it would have the appear
ance of bundle of rubbish Having pre-
pared these things, the convict launched his
fotilla and succeeded in ensconsing himself
under the plank, by which he was buoyed
up. lie soon passed the line Of guards sta
toned on the river and was making good
progress towards the mouth of the Croton,
when his craft attracted the attention Of
some boys swimming, who thought it strange
to see bundle of straw floating against the
tide. One of them laid his hand on the
straw, and was surprised when the man I'M
derneath exclaimed, 600 away. 90 away
or I'll drown ycuw OF course, the alarm
was given, and the convict soon returned to
the prison, very much to the surprise of the
officers, who had not yet counted him out"
Last Monday he succeeded in again eludng
