In relation to the Union movement In New
York against Lincoln, replied, that "Thc more
they unite the more they won't carry It."
~ Hon. John T. Nixon, who has been re-
nominated in the First Congressional District
Of New Jersey, said In recent speech:
"a gentleman had asked him how It was
that he, as an American, should support the
Chicago nominees, and he had replied, because
there was no American candidate before the
people. A party Of very respectable, honest
and intelligent men had assembled ut Baltimore

The ROCHESTER SNAKE SroRr.-Thc Roches-
ter Uaion revives the story about the little girl
charmed by snake. The child had been re-
moved from the neighborhood where she had
played with the reptile, and for time improy-
ell in health. About two weeks ago, however,
she was taken i'll and continued to sink until the
present week, when she died and now Il is
ascertained that the snake was killed on the
very day that the child sickened. The family
was informed Of the death Of the snake, and
when the little girl heard of 1t, she said, Z" Ma
ma, is baby dead 2" and soon became sick. The
snake killed was about three feet long. The
Union says there Is not much doubt about the
statement, so far as the facts are concerned.
The conclusions and differences are another
thing. The theory Of the physician Is that the
serpent absorbed the electricity Of the child.
The New York STATE CouScrL-The men,
bers of the American State Council Of New
York met at Schenectady on Tuesday, In pur-
suance Of call by Mr.. Scroggs, its President.
There are two classes Of delegates, one headed
by Brooks, who favors Bell, and the other by
Scroggs, who fayors Lincoln. The former ap-
pointed committee to request Scroggs to re-
sign the Presidency of the Council, which he
positively refused to do.
Amer stormy session Of the Council, Scroggs
was thrown overheard, and Gen. Prescott was
elected President. A new State Committee was
appointed, and the Union electoral ticket unan-
imously ratified. The Council then ADJOURN
ed.
Mr.. Scroggs and his friends held conven-
ton. There were siIty-fve persons present
Scroggs made'a speech, in which he announced
his adhesion to Lincoln. Resolutions were adopt
ell regulating what is called bargain and
sale to Douglas men, aud declaring that the
Americans Of New York are at liberty to vote
as their Judgment may dictate Mr.. scrosgs
was elected President of the State Council. a
State Committee va, appointed, with authori-
,y to call State Convention, should It be
deemed eIpedient. Adjourned.
II The Ohio State Journal publishes the
following opinions OF Bell and Everett man,
resident in Egypt, Illinois:
"The campaign has now opened In earnest.
Political meetings Of every line and grade are
being held in Egypt. This State Is the grand
fighting ground, and all parties are putting forth
their best energies. What will be the result
cannot tell. My impressions are, however, that
Lincoln will carry the State. In fact do not
see what chance Douglas has got to get single
electoral vote. Do not infer from the above
that am a Lincoln man, and thereby preju-
diced such Is not the case. John Bell Is my
man, and think am impartial. In Egypt
the Republican vote has increased very much
over tbat of 1856 The vote for Bell will not
be AZ heavy as that Of Mr.. Fillmore, which was
about 30 900 In the State. Our party meet at
Decatur next Wednesday to nominate state
ticket. I am going up to see II done. Inc
Breckenridge party in Illinois Is small ana tne
fight Is between Douglas and Lincoln, with the
chances in favor OF the latter. Lincoln
man of very fair ability, aud very much es-
teemed in private life among those who KNOW
him, and would, think, make good Presi-
dent"
LED ABOUT ny MS RELlrroSs.-lt will be re-
membered that when Mr.. Douglas went to Cam
bridge in July, II was to see his vife's brother
graduate from the law school. In New Hamp-
shire and Maine he was professedly in search Of
his mother while he visited Vermont to rem
der suitable honors to the final resting place Of
hi, father. Now We see from the following
statement Of Q Washington correspondent
that he goes below Mason's and DiIon's line
wholly out of regard to other members Of his
excellent family, viz:
"He will address the people Of Virginia at
two or three other points and will then proceed
TO North Carolina, accompanied by his two lit
tie boys, for the purpose Of settling up the es-
tate lately len to them by their grandmother
When this domestic business Is properly at
tended to, II will be matter Of some curiosity
to learn what other relative will control the
movements Of Mr.. Douglas. II will be some
uncle, We presume-thoush We arc perfectly
sure Il will not be Uncle Sam.
