that the course OF Mr. Crittenden In this partic

considered as favoring either the claims or mer

Critaendsn, literature, i TO throw every possible
obstacle IN the way Of Lincoln, vainly hoping
thereby to lessen the chances Of Republican
victory. His own party, having No hold upon the

GRAND RALLY At FAIRBIELD.-There 10 to be 4
great outpouring Of the people at Fairfield TO-
day. Eminent lpeakers will be present and q
grand time il expected. A special train will

evening No doubt large number Of persons
will 60 from this city.
"REsr IN AsRAHAx's Bosox. We saw ave
'prairie schooners" standing At the foot Of Jen-
erson street, yesterday, having just crossed the
river, al marked "Old Abe" One Of them bad
written across the cover, in very lsgib!e charac-
tiers, "There 10 rest in Abraham's bosom"
-D--
a. One Of the largest bodies Of emigrarts
we have ever seen, passed through town yesser-
day morning, on their way to the interior Of the
State. It is absurd to talk Of any future hard
times in Iowa, when these trains pass into the
State, at all points, daily.
The RUnoRED ArrEAPr TO AssAssINArE LsU-
10 NAPoLEoS.-A story reached Us lately that
man at Toulon had fred 1t Louis Napoleon. 1t
is well known that the French Emperor DEGREES
that nothing which would seem to indicate his
unpopularity shall Be given to the public. Such
precautions seem to have led to the following
extraordinary attempt to explain away the mur.
derous assault above referred to, which We find
in the Paris correspondence Of the New York
Commercial Advertiser:
In Paris this attempt was only heard from
London, ~ are most Of the spurious attempts on
his majestyis life. The facts in the present case
are these: There il man at Toulon Of the
name Of Burle, and who, ii not derangcd, 10 at
least slightly exalted in intellect This man has
been from the first, one of the Emper0r's warm
est supporters and he carries his idolatry Of his
majesty to such an extreme 40 to scarcely talk OF
anything else in his everyday conversation. This
man, thinking his idolatry ought to he remuner-
ated, has constantly importuned the Emperor for
favors Of various kinds, and among other things
had sought and obtained The Imperial protection
for two Of his children.
One can readily imagine the increased exalta-
ti0n Of this man when he learned that the sub
ject Of his daily worship was about to arrive 1t
Toulon, and that be was going to see him in pro-
ruia persona. He sought but failed to obtain an
interview with the Emperor at the prefect's, but
determined to attract his majesty's attention to
himself, he conceived the bizarre, and in this
country dangerous expedient Of firing off in the
air pistol, loaded with blank cartridge, as the
cortege passed along the street. At first, it is
true, people believed that an attempt at assassi-
| nation had been made, and Burle was arrested.
But he was soon recognized, and the tragedy
was turned into farce, At which everybody
laughed. Burle was dismissed with an admoni-
tion from the commissary Of police.
THE Nosr IMPORTANT ACCESSION Yxr.-Gen.
Prescott, the present President Of the "Ameri
cam State Council Of New York, has repudated
the fusionits and comes out aquarely for Mr.
Lincoln. The probability is Lincoln will carry
New York by from fifty to seyenty-five thousand
majority. Mr.. Prescott concludes his letter d
follows:
II am, therefore compelled to withdraw my
support Of the Fusion Electoral Ticket; and ii
doing 20, | regret to disagree with former politi
cal associates and friends, Who, / doubt not, in
tend % be patriotic in the discharge Of thcil
| political duties
have come to the conclusion to cast my vote
for the Republican candidates, for the reason
that believe that the contest in reality 10 be
tween Lincoln and Lane, and that the interest.
Of the whole Union will be best promoted By
Mr.. Lincoln's election
eOur Democratic contemporaries are con
soling themselves for the recent defeat Of theil
party with the idea that it Is al owing to tn.
split in the party. When We consider that in thu
States where elections have been held, the Re
publicans have elected their ticket BY great ma
jorities over all opposition, this 10 rather laugh
able.
