SAD CASE OF ELoPEMENT:-Some facts in
regard to a seduction have come to cur knowl.
edge, which may be Of interest to our readers.
few weeks ago,a trav ling agent for one of the
heavy dry goods merchants in New York city,
formed an acquaintance with an only daughter
of one of the New York bankers The lady
was young, accomplished beautiful but too
susceptible. The travelling agent was smil-
ten, as he avowed took his "ladye love" to
the opera, the theatre, and japanese ball, aud
finally proposed an elopcmen,. The lady OBJ
jected, but finally LETT the paterna roof,
with her lover under the pretence OF attending
one of the theatres They took the cars, and
continuing their journey without delay, ar
rived in Detroit on the fourteenth OF last
month Instead Of going, as The lady desired,
direct to clergy man to have the matrimonial
knot tied, the seducer took his victim to Il
house in which he declared relative of his
resided, and there the ruin of the girl was
consumated under promise of marriage. As
many have been deceived in the past, and as
many others will be deceived in the future so
was she, the pride OF an aliectOnate mother

communicate TO her parents, or had they been
relentless, scarce year would have passed be-
fore she would, without doubt, have added
another to that class Of uni0rtunates with

along the crowded thOrouphlarcs in brilliant
colors, have hearts beneath their gay dresses
that yearn for the homes where they were once
J so happy.

DIsUNIoN CIVILIZATION,

At kind Of dsunion jubilation held in
Charleston, S. G., a few days since. sentiments
expressive Of the foolishness prevalent in that
quarter were drank with all the honors. Here
is one of them -
".Southern Ciuiiization-lt must be maintain
ed at any costand at all hazards.
And here is another gem =
"Tze Monarchs Of Ewqpe-The true friends
of the conservative slave states of the south-
the embryo of g eat southern republic.
Southern civilization" That means chat
tel slavery and its indispensable concomlants'
And the natural friends OF this civilization,
it seems, are "the monarchs OF Europe Z; not
the Kossuths and Carloads OF Europe, but
the "MoN .Rcms," and, as slavery has often
said tie autocrats of Russia more than all 9TH
ers. These disunionisis, who very fortunate.
" do not represent a majority of the
southern people, are not republicans
They are the men who have dehased
and DESTROYED the democratic party, after
training some OF its foremost leaders TO de-
scribe the self-evident truths Of the Declara-
ton OF Independence, as "seli.eyident lies"
Southern civilization" indeed! And "the
monarchs of Europe And these men talk
of creating great southern republic" Re
publics do not grow from such sentiments
Nothing great can grow from them, unless it
be great barbarism. They would transform
the American eagle into a vicious buzzard,
and reproduce in that great southern repub-
lie" such condition OF things as would add
to the impressive illustrations of human weak
ness and failure that lave been furnished so
largely by Mexico and the chaotic republics of
South America.

REPUBLICAN HoNEsTY.-Our readers will
remember that at the state election in Penn
sylvania, Mr.. Lehman, democrat, who was
elected TO congress from the first district was
very unceremoniously deprived Of his certifi-
Gale Of election by desperate republican off
GER who forged returns talsifying the record,
and gave the certificate to MIR. Butler, who
was not elected. - Worcester Times.
1t is well known to everybody acquainted
with the particulars of this case, that the man
Byerly, who perpetrated the forgery, was not
a republican, but a Breckenridge democrat.
Nobody in Philadelphia ever said or insinuated
that he was republican. AS for Mr.. Butler,
he has proposed to Mr. Lehman to have
recount Of the vote and abide the result. The
ballots were all preserved as the law required,
but Mr. Lehman shrank from accepting Mr..
Buffers proposition.

FAILING OF a RooF.-On Monday forenoon
at III o'clock, while workmen were engaged
in attempting to change the slope of the root
on the building in course OF construction at
the corner OF Main and School streets, the ties

causing the roof TO fall in. 1t tell with a

CALEB CUsHING.-It is reported in the dis
patches that the ladies of South Carolina have
started a subscription for testimonial to
Caleb Gushing. The gift which wins most
favor is a miniature in silver OF the brig James
Gray, owned by the Gushing brothers. which
hoisted the Palmetto flag on sailing into the
port at Charleston. That act was certainly
worthy OF reward of some kind, and perhaps
nothing could be more fit than visible memo
rial OF the fact that Massachusetts could aur-
nish men base enough to commit an act so
false to state pride, and treacherous TO every
patriotic instinct Bat the time will come
when even Caleb Cushing would as soon have
in his house a model Of the immemorial shin
"built in the eclipse, and rugged with curses
dark" as that OF the James Gray which could
do so shameless a thing.

HOW WILL THEY DO IT?

South Carolina proposes to hold conven-
ton on the 18th day of December, in which
she will secede from the Union. She will find
that series of convention resolutions cannot
take her so far as she supposes. She may
keep her congressman fl ON Washington, stop
the mails within her limits, suspend the courts
and do a great many other foolish things, from
which nobody ut South Carolinians will snfer
much but, all this does not take her out of
the Union and the discipline itwould give the
people of that state would be mngicaf rene
dy for their peculiar political diseases. Each
state is kept in the Union by its own interest in
it, by the power and security that come from it
by the countless advantages which it gives.
South Carolina has no more reason FOR going
out of the Nnion than comfortable family
have for burning their house in order to spite
their neighbors, or escape bad dreams.
The Union does not exist by sufferance
of South Carolina, but by force of those senti-
ments and interests which originally made it
necessary. No state has right to secede;
but, at the same time, it is nowise likely that
any state will ever be kept in the Union by
military force, as Venetia and Hungary are
held in the Austrian empire. The federal
constitution makes no provision for such a
state OF things South Carolina will stay in
the Union, not because we force her to do
SO, but because her own interests will not
allow her to do otherwise. This storm Of dis.
unionism will exhaust certain evil forces that
have troubled the countrf Calhounism will
never again be able to raise such storm, and,
hereafter, something besides the slavery ques-
ton will be able to find place in our politics,
LINCOLN ELECroRs IN New JERsEY.-The
Newark Mercury of the 18th instant, says =.
"The returns which have already reached us
render it nearly certain that four Lincoln cleo"
tors have been chosen in this state. The re-
turns from Burlington give the republicans
1861 plurality over FUSION in Cumberland
the republicans have 1148 plurality, and in
Salem they have 81 plurality. The table
Vroom and Condit on The fusion ticket as
compared with the republicans. Our table
defeats them by 397 plurality. Messrs Brewer
and Wurts are beaten badly, the former by
1928 and the latter by 1870 plurality. In any
event two of the republican electors are cho.
sen, and we do not see how the other two can
be defeated. This is the last finishing stroke
to the fusion movement in New Jersey"

REPUBLICAN CAUCUs.-The republican city

of the republicans OF Worcester, to act upon
the proposition to authorize the several wards
to send delegates 10 a city convention, tor the
purpose OF nominating candidates for mayor
and aldermen,-the delegates TO be clio.

with an additional delegate for Il MAORI

TRIAL OF FIRE ENGINEs.-The members
al Yankee Engine Company No 3, challenged
a few days ago, the members OF Niagara Com
pany No. 3, to a friendly trial Of speed and
skill, each company to run from the corner
of Pleasant and New ion streets, half Il mile,
and throw stream through 400 feet OF hose.
The challenge was accepted, and the compa
MES accordingly met, Wednesday afternoon,
at the specified place. The judges were Smith
Quimby of the Yankee, Homer SawtelL Of
the Niagara, aud Charles 5, Childs, referee.
The report of the judges shows THAT ,the
time made by Yankee was minutes; by Nj
agara.4 min. 40 sec. In horizontal playing,
time l minute, Yankee threw a stream lilo
feet 10 inches Niagara 1870 feet 10 inches. In

to Niagara. In Tubing, time minutes, Yankee
lowered her water l24 inches, and Niagara in
the same time lowered heIewater p inches.
THE CONCERT OF NEXT TUEsDAY.-It has
been urged against the Mozart Society that its
programmes are too exclusively of sacred
music. Obectors who say this forget, We
think, the richness and variety of the music
they seem TO disparage, as well as the direction
in which the society especially aims to be
useful. As matter OF fact, however, its
range never he's been very restricted; but,
without referring to the past, the selections
for its next concert, we submit, can be subject
to no such criticism. We find six selections
from tavorite operas, among which are: " Hail
to thee Liberty J" Crowned Win TIE lelll-
pest" 80 hail us We Free !" and tie "Phan-
tom" and "Anyil" choruses. The well known
war song of Scott, "MacGregor's Gathering"
will be sung by Miss Fiske; "Ihro' meadows
green" by Mrs. Doamc, and one of Men
delssohn's songs by the club which bears his
name. There will be a quartette led by Mr..
f. II. Knight, and quintette, who will give
composition of Mr.. a s. Allen of this city,
besides other attractions we have not space 10
name now. And il, as we hear, the society as
whole, as well as those members to whom
prominent parts are assigned, have entered
heartily into their work, the public 20 not
need our assurance that We are to have
spirited ard credtable concert
