The Lesson OF the Connecticut Election.

The New York Tribune closes an article
on the Republican victory in Connecticut
with the following opposite and forcible
remarks
This election bears two lessons The
first is one of warning-of admonition.--
Many Republicans are accustomed TO talk
and act as though we had scarcely more to
do than to count the votes next November
They hold that our adversares cannot har-
monize on the Territorial qnestion--that
the Squatter Sovereignty men and the south
ern camorers for a Congressional Slave
Code for the Territories will quarrel at
Charleston, and that we shall thencefor
ward walk over the course. Connecticut
! disproves al. this, and shows that the ap-
/ preaching Presidential contest is TO be the
severest ever know The Sham Democra.
cy will mt quarrel at Charleston--they
love the "spoils Of victory too well for
/ that-at all events, we have no reason to
suppose they will The strong probability
is that they will meet ms 10 perfect array,
and will give us the most desperate fight
Of the last half century They are not
the boys to surrender sixty to eighty mil
lions per annum aud sixty thousand desira-
BILE Offices without struggle.
On the other hand, the result proves
! that, strong as they are,we are yet strong
er. Only let our nominations be nnexcep-
lionable, oar union perfect, our organiza-
tion effective, and our exertions such as be-
fit the magnitude of the stake and we shall
beat them In November Connecticut
shows that the strength is really with u.s.
If we husband and exert it. We can beat
them but il will take Us all to do it, and
it will be all We can do at that. Let u:
organize at once for the struggle and The
victory

Romance of the Mummy.


Follett, Foster & Co., Of Columbus are
about to publish translation of TLeopile Gau-
tiers Romance of the Mummy" by Mrs. Apuie
t. Wood, Of Marietta.
Mrs. Wood translated the Boston edilioRof
Abouts "Roman Question" and is we'll known
as faithful ard spirited translator from the
French. If the present work needed any other
Introduction than the name Of Gautier, the fact
that this lady has rendered into English would
sufficiently commend it.
The Romance of the Mummy, conducts the
reader back through thiry-fye centuries to the
days Of Pharaoh and Moses, and makes him
move, aud live among the people Of Thebes
when she was in her glory. The author traces
Egyptian life, customs, hablations, Joys, sor-
rows, pleasures aud eaamities-with viyidness
aud force.
There is DO work of modern literature which
can equal "Tbe Romance of the Mummy" il
power of imagination and deep aud curious
learning unless il be the STORY of Vathek,
Beekfords idealizatien Of the poetry Of tbe
Thousand and One Tales. TheOphile Gautier
breathes the full life Of Egyptian passion iut(
the forms Of individuals aud civilization, tha
persbed more than three centuries ago anC
OF which the ruins Of Thebes remain TO attest
the magnihcenee. This long.dead world Gau
tier repeoples, and while you read his book
Greece, and Bone, and England and America
seem fables and Egypt alone exists, with heI
Thebes, her Nile, her lOtus-howers. her grotesque
gods, her magnificent palaces her vast temples
her sphinxes and cOllOssi, her symbols, her opu
lent, voluptuOus aud terrible life fall Of marYe
and mystery.

Dry GooDs-The auction sales, says the
MY Indepe Ricnt continue the main feature
of the trade aud French printed goods,
silks, dress goods generally, and German
wooens, are selling at reduced and low
prices The nearby trade is more active.
This includes the mid Western states, eSpe-
cially Ohio, whence the merchants have
come and bought freely. Indiana, Illinois,
and all the far Western states have been,
and are still buying moderately. The large
jobbers are doing good trade. Plain and
! line silks seem most iu vogue, the taste run
| ming chiefly that way, as contrast to the
! overdOne houces. Woolens of all discrip-
tions drag. In domestic fabrics the con.
sumption coatinucs active for cotton goods.
The glnt Of low German cloths and cassi-
meres sadly interfrres with the market fol
domestic goods of similar character. FaucJ
cassimereS Of desirable styles are the only
goods much wanted. Importers seem aux
ious 10 sell their goods at whatever prices
they will bring, and large quantities can br

close whole invoices, they do it readily a

Tuscany is formally annexed to Sardinia,
the French army is evacuating Lombardy,
and the Sandman army is leaving Savoy.
Lombardy is left TO Victor Emanuel and
the heart Of his people. Savoy goes some
what reluctantly to the powerful protection
of France. French despotism, as wise as
it is exacting, is better perhaps than Aus
trian tyranny and the general government
of Piedmont is better than either.
