THE FIRST GUN.
All Hail New Hampshire.
REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

New Hampshire,in her annual election which
took place on Tuesday, again speaks cut clear
ly and firmly, for republican principles
Proslavery, dsunion democracy, have met
with a deserved and stunning defeat there
The result is the "frst gun" of the campaign
of 1860, and it speaks in no uncertain tone.
The anticipations Of republican success have
been more than realized, by the election of the
republican candidate for Governor, Hon
Goodwin, by an increased majority from last
year, four If not FIVE counsellors, republicans,
nine of of the twelve Senators republicans,
and over hundred republican majority in the
House of Representatives. The result is a
Waterloo defeat of the sham democracy in the
Old Granite State. Last year Governor Good
wins majority was about $500, this year it
reaches near 5000.
The aggregate vote so far as heard from, is
given in the following dispatch, dated:
CoSooRp, n. H., March l4.-Returns have
been received from 1856 towns, which give the
following totals: Goodwin, Republican, "a ,557
Cate, Democrat, 9,6li. There are 40 towns
to hear from. Goodwin's majority is estimated
at 5000.

any rate, III take the horse for the hundred
dollars, and you may have the saddle for the
twenty dollars you were to have OF it,
'And the saddle bags, too, I suppose, said
Debby, feeling disposed to join in the joke.
sYes, and the saddle bags, said Mr.. VIII
der no, stop, well see what is in them first,
he continued, untying them from the saddle.
sOh, there's lots Of shirts, stockings, hand
. kerchiefs, and capital ones, too. Yes. pebby
the saddle bags are yours; those things come
in very good time for Joseph, you know.
Debby colored, but said nothing.
.Now, W lillian, said Mrs. Wilder, thee is
full Of thy fun
NO fun about it, said William, replacing
the articles in the leather bag. Here,
Debby, take'em and take care of EN-.
Debby took the saddle bags to her chamber,
not a little gratifed at the valuable articles
of clothing they contained. She emptied
the contents upon the bed, and examining to
see If everything was out, she discovered an
inside pocket in one Of the bags. She opened
il and found it contained quantity of bills.
She counted them, and her heart beat quicker
and quicker, for before she got through she
had 81 500 in good bank money.
Debby kept her own counsel. In few
days ii was rumored that Joseph Nelson had
purchased an excellent farm in the neighbOr-
hood, that had been offered some months for
the sum of $1,000 and was considered q
great bargain.
Joseph said Mr.. Wilder the next time
they met, Il am astonished that you have
been running into debt for farm in such
times as these. think you ought TO have
worked two or three years, and got some
thing beforehand, before getting into debt so
much.
'But haven't been running into debt,
said Joseph.
.Iayen't you bought SandersOn's farm p
said Wilder.
YES, have said Joseph.
AT 81 DOOR
Yes, said Joseph, 'but I've paid for it
don't run into debt for anything
Mr.. Wilder was too much astonished to
ask further questions.
Joseph Nelson made an excellent farmer
and u respectable man; he was industrious
and got rapidly beforehand, and Wilder was
always proud his son-in-law. Ii was some
ten years after this, when Mr.. Wilder was
sitting one day and trotting his third grand
son on his knee, that he said:
.Debby, l should like to know how Joseph
contriyed to purchase his farm ut the time
YOU were marriedP
Debby stepped to the closet, brought out
the old saddle bags, and opening them,
pointed to the inner pocket, saying, 'the
money came from there, SIR
