The vote just poIled is the largest ev.

and 10000.
Will the Gazette give these facts and

All hail, Maine.
Maine, all hail.
We NAY have word or two to say in
reference to Mr.. Stewards abolition har-
angue at Dubuque upon the "moral and
political evils Of slavery" when the Ga
zette shall have finished publishing it.
The Gazette thinks this speech" 81. not
so distinguished as the generality Of Mr.
Sewa'd's speeches." 1t will be remem-
bered that the ''little joker" went to
Chicago as firm and incorporating
advocate Of the nomination of Mr. Sew
ard by the Chicago Convention. 1t will
also be remembered that very suddenly
and mysteriously he dropped Mr.. Sew
ard ike hot potato and was found ex-
ercising his little lungs in shouting for
the "RaiI Splitter" Of course the mo-
tivcs fer this mysterious change were
eminently patriotic and dlsinterested.
RECEIPTS OF THE L. S. FAIR.-The
Cincinnati Commercial says: THE re-
ceipts Of the United States Asricul-
tnral Society, at the late Fair, amounted
to SIS 900, of which 1000 was taken
at the gates, and $1,000 for entry fees
and rent. The premium list amounts to
less than $4,000. The remaining legit-
innate expenses of the society have no,
teen posted up, but the remaining $4,000
will probably cover them. Most ,f the
money premiums, we understand, have
been paid"

 V A steamboat case was recently tried in the U. g. Court of Admiralty, in New York. The suit was against the steamboat Water Witch, for the recovery of three penalties of $500 each, for violations of acts of Congress known as ''the protection for passengers" act. This act provides that any steamboat carrying passengers without having two life-boats, a certain number of water buckets and fire axes, shall forfeit and pay for each trip the sum of $500, half to go to the informer, and the other half to the United States. The steamboat in question claimed to be aferry-boat, and carried goods solely in that capacity. The Enquirer says: "The district attorney of the United States, in his argument in opening the case, contended that the boat was liable for the pen- atty every trip she made with passengers, and that it was the merest nonsense to set up th at she was ferry boat, when there was the ad- mission in the pleading that between Elizabeth port and New York she made two stopping places-one within the limits of the State, and the other in the State of New Jersey. The learned district attorney also said he did not claim that the boat was liable for the penalty for not having the requisite number of buck cts or axes, or for having none of the appli- ances for saving life, provided she lay quietly at the wharf; but the very day or hour her owners undertook to carry passengers without having provided the boats, floats, life-preser-l vers, buckets or fire axes, which the act of Congress requires, then the boat becomes li.- ble for the penalty for every trip in which they should undertake to carry passengers = The defense admitted the facts alleged in the complaint, but he contended that boats of the defendants, or the respondents, were not pas senger boats within the meaning of the act of Congress, but mere ferry boats, and therefore not liable to the penalties claimed by the Gov ernment. The judge said that he would not, at the present state of controversy, give an opinion of the main point, but he certainly did conceive that steamboat carrying passengers and freight from port in one State to port in another State, and calling at intermediate places to take in goods and passengers, could not be regarded as mere ferry boat"

THs AFRICANS AT KEY Wrsr.-The Wire Grass (Georgia) Reporter starts the following question regarding these ne- groes. to-wit:
 "Whether the general government has any legal right so introduce negroes from Africa into any of the States whose laws forbid such introduction without qualifica- ,ion; and if they do, whether State au- thori,ies have not the legal right to dispose of them as provided by their statutes, the same as if introduced by an individual?' ?' The Reporter says: "Our opinion is that the argumen. is decidedly on the part of the State. IL has been ruled in New York that if slaves are carried there, only for transportation, they become free. If this Is sound doctrine. il is also sound doctrine that if free negro is introduced into Florida, no odds by whom, from the mo- ment of his or her introduction, he or she becomes liable 10 all the laws and fegula- tions of the State enacted in that behalf"

From the Arkansas Baptist, 4th inst1
 We publish the following by reoues,

! REV. J. W. MooRg--SrNeuLARLY INTER. EsrINe.-The name of Rev. J. W. Moore i. familiar to many in Arkansas as the title O, very considerable opponent of the presen, Bible Revision movement. Those who have read hls articles against Revision will be as- tonished to hear that even J. W. Moore sometimes finds himself under the dire neces- sity of turning Revisionist. Of this however we find no fault we ex pect the time will soon-- very soon arrive when every intelligent and pious man will be. Revisionst. To those who become Revisionists at once it is we'll; to those who are tardy in coming over, we have only to afford them rope, time and opportuni- ty and execution will follow.
 The hanging of Mr. Moore may be seen in The Presbyterian .Sentiqel,n of Memphis, June 30th. MT. Moore occupies five columns with an article headed, "Rerharks on the Mode of Christian Baptism." h this article, to sustain his views or the Mode of Baptism, he turns Revisionstl
 MT. Moore says, that in Acts g.: 3S, ELS translated into, simply means to '! That Philip and the Eunuch went down TO the water !- "Out of" the water, he would translate sfrom" the water!
 He also finds that through lapse of time, that words sometimes lose their original msan- ings and take new ones. He cites "prevent." "I prevented the dawning of the morning." In sucn instances ne says It VIII not do to de- pend on the original me anings of such chang able wordsi t.7A
 Now, in all soberness we ask, if this is not the very position which Revisionists have oc- cupied from the beginning and which they occupy and advocate to-day? It surely is, and we are pleased to know that if the Rev. MT. Moore is wrong on the mode of Baptism, that his wrong has this good resulting from it-he is compelled to cease for the time his hostility to Revision and to become Revi- sionist himself
 Though he is far advanced in life, and we doubtless could rroftably sit at his feet as a student for years, yet we venture to congratu- late him on his conversion to the Revision en- terprise even at this late day of his lfe's jour- ney. Should he feel disposed to write any more on the subject of Revision, our columns are at his service, subject to the same rules as our other correspondents.

 Without intending to disparage the just c'ams of other aspirants for this distinguished position, we may be permitted to say thatfrom our knowledge of Col. Holt's abilities, there Ils not an off cer in the brigade better qualified 'o fli the off ce than himself. He is man of thorough military education and training, with sae tae practical experience of actual service in ae tented field. Superadded to these acquire. snents, Col. Holt is soldier of truly martial bearing and carriage, and, withal, noble specimen of genial, clever, whole-souied gentleman. The Colonel would make most txcelent general, and we hope his brother of- .lcers will feel pleasure and pride in confer ilng the office upon him.
