The Elections.
From the Journal of Commerce, Jr.

From the Journal of Commerce, Jr.
The results OF the elections held in several
States on Tuesday, the 9Th inst, while not
fully received at the time of writing, are yet
sufficiently known, to indicate pretty clearly
that the voters have manifested unusual
apathy, and that the aggre5 ate of ballots
cast, has been much below the average.
There are several reasons for this, but proba-
bly, the fact that no great prize was to be
contended for at this election, and that the
issues were more than usually local in their
character, may be regarded as the controlling
one.
In this city the almost entire absence of
those pecuniary influences which 60 to make
an active canvass, together with tolerable
certa nty of success for their local candidates,
caused lighter Democratic vote than usual
at State elections. In few districts where
the two wings of the party ran separate
candidates, they were both defeated, as they
had reason to expect but taken as whole,
we anticipate that the total vote of the State
will show loss relatively for the Republi-
cans. The same is true in Massachusetts,,
and probably in other States; so that when
we shall be able to present an abstract of
the votes cast at the November elections,
it will be found unfavorable to the Republic
can party.

THE GREAT EAsTERN.-It has been the
habit amongst our English cousins to sheer
at American enterprise and management, as
inclining, the one towards humbug and the
other towards corrupt favoritism. We do
not recollect any instance amongst our
backslidings in which both these features
have been so strikingly manifested as in the
Great Eastern by the English themselves.
After the expenditure of more than mil
lion sterling in the construction of this vessel
it turns out not merely her machinery but
her timber work is so defective that it can
not pass the Board of Trade. The engi-
neers, naval architects, builders and all who
have had hand in her construction, would
seem from this and other similar facts to
have been acting entirely independent of
each other, and without any response BILE
head. The board of direction have, it APP
pears, been so busy attending to the inter-
ests of the separate cliques into which they
are split up that they have had no time
to devote to the supervision OF the work.
The consequence is, at least so say the
London journals, that not only is the vessel
a total failure in regard to the qualities
anticipated of her, but that she is likely to
remain a useless as we'll as gigantic monu.
ment of the folly, the selfishness and humbug
of her projectors.-N. Y. Herald.

EUGENE PLAYING DISGUISE IN THE
STREETS OF PAR1s.-The foreign CORES.
pondent Of the New York Courier relates
the following. Whether it is the truth or a
fiction, it makes readable paragraph.
EUGENE seems to be a fit successor to
JOSEPHINE
The Emperor and Empress are models of
domestic felicity. Her beauty and capt..
waiting, enchanting manners, are the theme
of eulogism with all who approach her, and
bis Majestys perfect abandon when (what
may be termed) in the bosom of his family
astonnd those who, when he is seen in public,
admire the solemn gravity of his deport-
ment. Henri Quatre was not more playful
in the nursery that is Louis Napoleon.
But shall not carry this matter further
than to narrate little aneedote of the EN-.
press:
Like Haroun Alraichia, and like far
greater man, Napoleon the First, Her
Majesty sometimes amuses herself by a
promenade through Paris in disguise. The
other day, accompanied by Gen. Fleury
and followed by other officers en- Mufii,
Her Majesty in passing along the Boul,
evards, overheard a Zouave recount, to-
young woman on his arm, his participation
in the battle of Solferino.
GLOW did the Emperor conduct himself
in that affair? asked the Empress.
Admirably" replied the Zouave.
a am told the contrary"
Comment, Madame! The Emperor not
conduct himself well ?"
EYES,"
"Then you are misinformed," rejoined
the indignant soldier abruptly, and proceed
ed to describe the unquestionable courage
and sang froid Of the Emperor.
When she returned to the Tuilleries, the
Empress, laughing, told the Emperor and
the Count De Morney, who was with him,
the particulars of the adventure. "Your
Majesty knows how it was brought about, u
said De Morney. Brought about ?" "Yes.
The Project of Police, knowing that your
Majesty was bent on one of your escapades,
prepared the Zouave for the occasion. There
was nothing wonderful in it, therefore" The
color mounted to the pale cheek of the EN-
press, who bit her beautiful coral lip. The
Emperor, standing with his back to the
mantle shelf, twirling his moustaches This
custom of an afternoon), family smiled
whereupon De Morny apologized, confessed
he had only TESTED, and in moment all was
fair weather again. The Zouave has been
traced and rewarded.

Serious Railroad Accident near Peoria

Serious Railroad Accident near Peoria.
From the Peoria Union, Nov. II.
An accident occurred on the Peoria,
Oquawka and Burlington Railroad this af-
ternoon, by the train falling through the
tressle work, near Hale's Mills, about four
miles from the city. Considerable damage
was done to the baggage car, and one pas.
senger Car was badly broken, and several
passengers were injured-an old gentleman
and lady serious y. No lives were lost
The train was coming east from Galesburg
and was due here at 2 Pm.
The Peoria Transcript furnishes the fol-
lowing additional particulars
There were some thirty passengers on
board, whose escape from death was most
miraculous. Every seat in the car was
made wreck. Only one passenger, an
aged gentleman from near Knoxville, Mr..
James Dawson, was seriously injured. He
was bruised internally, and was brought to
this city and taken to the Buckeye House.
An old lady by the name of A yers, from
Jefferson county, Ohio, was pretty badly
bruised, but was not seriously injured.
1AA. ~ W. OOC, Vi OAluuCiO, Ill CulS
county, had leg sprained.
Mr.. I. w. Davis, of Milbroeck, Peoria
county, received flash across the nose and
was otherwise bruised.
Mr.. VIM. jenkins, of Ell Paso, Mclean
county, received several cuts and bruises,
and had his clothes badly torn.
Mr.. Joseph Meadows, living near Chenoa,
Mclean county, was sitting on the short
seat behind the door in the front of the
Car, and was thrown near half way out of
the window. He had one thumb bent COM
pletely over backward and put out of joint,
and vas otherwise slightly bruised.
A Mrs. McBeth, of Tonica, aud her small
boy, had their heads and faces cut and
bruised.
Several other passengers showed bloody
marks, and nearly every one was scratched
or bruised.

breeze so, that he couldn't come it that
way" A demand was then made that he
should treat the crowd, and his generosity
was excited by puncture with an awl. The
reporter refused to treat and pistols and
knives were drawn to intimidate him.
Whilst the reporter was endeavoring to
escape from his unwelcome company,
larger party came up and invited his cap
tors to take drink. This invitation they
complied With, and taking their prisoner
with them, they adjourned to neig hbour-
ing tavern. Here the reporter found two
policemen, and began to feel seriously
alarmed. Soon dispute arose between the
party, and two of them stripped for fight,
one of them handing his arms to a police
officer who was sitting by the stove. In
the confusion that ensued, the reporter got
out of the house, glad to escape without
compromising his dignity by paying for his
captors' liquor, Or getting his head broke.
Whilst enjoying the company of his captors,
one of them informed him that be had voted
only seventeen times in the 18th Ward.
After leaving the tavern, our reporter ad-
mits that he made the :. best time " on
record between the 18th Ward polls and
the american Office"

AN ENGLISH HUNTING PARTY RETURNED.
We notice the arrival at the Winslow
House, of Sir Francis Sykes and Mr.. Pc
tiers, and other English gentlemen, who
have been passing the summer in hunting
buffalo and elk upon the northwestern prai-
ries, in the vicinity of Devils Lake and
York Mountain. They left Fort Garry in
August last, accompanied by young North
rup, of wheelbarrow memory, Duncan Ken
nedy, of Traverse des Sioux, and half
breed guide. They left the carcasses of
ffty-three buf1aloes, principally old bulls, to
rot upon the plains around Turtle Noun
tain, as odoriferous proofs Of their proves
and skill; and have brought back with
them museum of elk beads, &C., as trophies
of their achievements, to be carried to En-
gland.
They discarded the use of horses for chas
ing the buffalo. Indeed they did not chase
the animals at all, but hunted them in the
Indian style, creeping up to them behind
the inequalities of the surface, taking care
to keep to the leeward of their sensitive
olfactories, ard attacking them by ambus-
cade; not always a very safe proceeding,
we should suppose, if the wounded animal
should happen to scent his enemy; but we
suppose far less dangerous in the opinion of
the cautious Englishmen, than to incur the
risk of broken neck by initiating the reck-
less halfbreeds, in their headlong chase Of
the flying herd, with catacomb of beaver
holes under the horses feet. Yet we would
think the fox hunting Englishman would be
the last to forego the breakneck luxury of
chase on horseback for the tanner tactics
of the Indian hunter, who invariably dis
mounts from his horse to shoot the buffalo.
The return party on passing through here
last spring. were accompanied by Mr..
Sheffield, who left them at Fort Garry, to
hunt upon the North Saskatchewan. His
intention was to winter at Fort Edmonton,
and cross the mountains next summer into
British Columbia.

New YORK, Nov. l5.-The report of the
non.arrival of the North Star at Aspinwall
up to the 4th inst, at which date she was
fully six days overdue, has naturally caused
considerable anxiety. She carried l9 off
GERS, 70 marines, and l08 sailors, bound to
join the United States ship Saranac Of the
Pacific squadron. There were also 1873 first
and second cabin passengers, and $50 steer
age passengers. The only way of account.
ing for her absence is that she has met with
an accident. She may have broken some
part of her machinery, and put into some
port from which intelligence has not yet
been received.

Late N ew 8.
Arrival Of the Overland Mai

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14.-Heavy rains fell
on the 18th, with indications Of continued
wet weather.
Sandwich Island dates are to October 3D.
Business prospects were poor.
The community was troubled by reports
from the Atlantic States relative to the
cheapness of coal oil, which, it was thought
would diminish the demand for whale oil
thereby iujuring the whaling business at
Honolulu.
Some sugar plantations were paying
moderately WE'LL but the coffee crop was an
entire failure.
The number of whale ships which had
arrived at Honolulu up to October l, was
only 10.
The British steamer Achilles, Captain
Hart, arrived at Honolulu on the 9th oil
September, and reported that the American
clipper ship Mastif, Captain johnson, from
San Francisco to Hong Kong, having on
board 18l passengers, of whom IT'S were
Chinese, was burned at sea on the 18th OF
September. All the passengers, with the
exception of one Chinaman, who was
smothered, were safely taken off by the
Achilles, and conveyed to Honolulu.
Among the passengers were R. H. Dana,
of Boston, G. G. Harris, George Clifford,
Fl. 9. Richmond, and Mr.. Schonbron. The
Chinese are said to have lost large amount
of treasure. The cargo, of about 500 tons,
was all lost.
The fire originated between decks from
some opium smoking Chinaman, allowing
sparks to get among their. combustible arti-
cles, which soon set the whole ship in a
blaze. The escape of passengers was owing
to the daring and GOODNESS of Captain John
son and the officers, and the fortunate ap-
pearance of the Achilles. The Mastiff was
Boston first class clipper, valued at $780,
600, and insured for $4,000 in Boston.
The Court at Honolulu awarded Captain
Hart $500 salvage on specie recovered
the balance was shipped on the Ella and
Liza, which was tt. sail for Hong Kong on
the 9th Of October, with 100 OF the Chi
neSe passengers.

Eloquent Reflections.

The London correspondent of the New
York Times, in giving an account of the
pageant which accompanied the interment
of the remains of ROBERT STEPHENSON, the
eminent engineer, in the venerable pile of
Westminster Abby, says:
"a funeral within the walls of venera-
BILE cathedral is, to an American a ceremo-
NAL OF unprecedented and singular interest.
What strange contrasts of the old and the
new civilizations. Within, there cluster the
memories of the warriors of the feudal times,
and efigies of mailed knights who dwelt in
castles long since ruined and ivygrown, and
crumblipg columns with outlines chastened
by the mellow light of early gothic windows,
and over dark inches where heroes bones
were laid by strange people eight centu-
ries ago, and solemn cloisters which witnessed
the events of mysterious times, long gone
here they have listened to the coronation
chants and the funeral dirges of well nigh
thousand years, while time has dimmed their
luster and crumbled their substance age
after age and century after century.
But without, in the very hearing of
these solemn voices of the olden time-hOw
changed a new race in the vigorous youth
of new era, has revolutiOnized the customs,
methods, and the very aspirations of the
past. Commerce has girdled the earth with
its iron roads, and bridged the sea with its
myriad wings the splendid works OF his
toric times are now but the tombs OF their
founders and architects, but not of them
alone. for we have to-day hallowed anew the
consecrated ground where Death has hidden
the rare spoils of thousand years. They
have laid down the hero of our new civil
cation by the side Of the champions of an
almost forgotten period, by the side of the
pious Edward the Confessor, the founder of
this great sepulcher, Of brave Harry the
Fifth, the conqueror of Agincourt, of Eliza
beth and the poets of her time of Claren-
don, Chatham. Pitt ard Fox, of Chaucer,
Spenser, Dryden, johnson, Addison and
Newton, and of Watt, the father Of: the
new era"
