THE VoTE OF New YoRK.-We have said
that New York would elect the Union
anti-lincoln electoral ticket by at least
fifty thousand majority, and we thought
we were in the bounds of reason in so
saying; but we have now to correct our es-
innate. We did not know, when we
made it, that the black republican leaders,
wirepullers and managers were going to
expose the corruption and rascality of
each other TO the public, and not only
call each other thieves, but prove it and
rub it in, as they are now doing. Set
down New York as good for one hundred
thousand majority now for the Union
electoral ticket.-N \. Herald.

DOUGLAS at Nofiolk.

The papers bring the following de-
spatch in regard to one OF the Presiden-
tial candidates, at Norfolk, Va:
Judge Douglas had enthusiastic recep-
tion at Norfolk, and spoke in the pres
ence of G,O0O people. In the middle of
his address a slip of paper was handed to
him. It was cut from the Norfolk Daily
argus and contained two rrlite questions.
The first is, 'ifAbraham Lincoln be elect

.1hG Louisville Jovymoi has . paragraph
about this distinguished gentleman, who
is said to lie running for the Presidency
in South Carolina and Florida, and
perhaps one or two other Southern States
which we quote:
"a correspondence asks us whether John
G. Breckenridge would be forgiven and
taken back into favor by the people if he
were to abandon his present most unhap-
py position and to declare for Bell and
Everett. Presuming that our correspon-
dent is Mr.. Breckinridge's confidential
friend, we are unwilling to answer the
question hastily. We think we may ven
turc to promise, however, that, if Mr.. B.
will as far as possible repair the recent
mischief of his life by giving q Jealous
support to the Union candidates and will
sustain to the best of his ability the adj
,ministration OF Bell and Everett, we will
in 1863 or at the very fortheat in 1865,
name him as one OF the candidates to
represent the county of Fayette in the
Kentucky Legislature. Now, Mr. Brock
inridge, the prize is before you. If you
have just and laudable ambition, go to
work.

Let The Children Sleep.

wCc,rn&tly advise that all WHO think
a great deals whohave infirm health, who
are in trouble, or who have to work hard,
to take all the sleep they can get without
medical means:
We caution parents, particularly, not
to allow their children to be walked up of
mornings-let nature wake them up, she
will not do it prematurely; but have
care that they 60 to bed ut an early hour;
let it be earlier, until it is found that
they wake up themselves in full time to
dress for breakfast. Being walked up
early, and allowed to engage in difficult
or any studies late, and just before retir-
ing, has given many beautiful and
promising child the brain fever, or de-
termined ordinary ailments to tho pro-
duction of water on the brain. ~.
Let parents make every possible effort
to have their children go to sleep in 8
pleasant humor. Never scold or giye
lectures, or in any way wound CHIPS
feelings as it goes to bed. Let all Danish
business and every worldly care at bed
time, and let sleep come to mind at
peace with God and all the world.
