ALL PLEAsED.-A gentleman recent.
ly remarked that all parties seemed
satisfied with the recent election news.
The Republicans, of course were over
.joyed at the election of their chosen
standard bearer; the Douglasitcs were
rejoicing over the defeat of the scce-
dcrs, and the seceders were considera-
bly, elated because the Douglasites were
beaten.

Death of Gen. Clark.

Brig. Gen. Newman S. Clark, COM

died at San Francisco OH the 18th Of
October, aged go years. His death was
occasioncd by chronic diarrhpa, con-

Gen. Clark entered the army in 1912,
at the age of q, us an ensign, and for
his gallant services was rapidly pro-

Chysler's Field, Chippewa, and Lundy's

Department of the Pacific, which ut
that time included California, Oregon,
Washington, and a part of Utah. Gen.
Clark also served in the Florida war,

irreparable loss. The departed veteran
was the beau ideal of the modern soldier.
Brave, cool and collected in the hour of
peril; mild, gentle and amiable in his
social intercourse; possessed of a heart
which never beat with aught but the
finest, the noblest emotion; clear, an

country loses by the death Of Gen.
Clarke, one Of our most devoted sons

Il weuld appear from the following extract
from the New Orleans Picayune, that the idea
OF freedom for the slave in any other war
thar merely licentious sense, has never been
entertained by the movers or abetters of the
;nsuYrection in Texas. The cry of abolition
ism has, usioubtediy. been used TO conceal the
real autho.s of the trouble. The Pieaynne
says:
ain looking through the great mass of de-
fails with which the Texas papers have been
loaded; sse see no evidence of any concerted
plot among the negroes for permanent insrsr-
rection against the whites. Their are no spe-
cifications given even snruaiscd that those
who were in the plot against life or property
bad any serious plan for setting themselves at
liberty. or projects arranged for escaping from
the panishmeat of these crimes. So far as

poses Of the conspiracy were mere wanton

The New York coalitionists having patched
up bargain with the Breckinridgers, the flag
ging hopes of the spoilsnen have been some
what revived. There is no ground for their
hope, however; for. as the Albany Evening
Journal remarks, q the more they combine the
more they won't suceeed.' A careful estimate
by counties, IN which an antiI4ineeln majority
of 10000 is conceded in the city, gives the
State to Lincoln by over 5o.890. The Repub-
iicans Of the State have the game all in their
own hands, and conscious of the importance Of
the stake at issne, they viii not fail to play SO
as to win beyond peradventare. But, it be
ing conceded by all intelligent and candid Dem
ecrats that with the vote of New York Lin
coin is certain to be elected by the people; the
efforts to deprive him Of it win be almost sl-
perhuman. and money will be spent in great
profusion. The cieUsland Plain Denier, a

"The South "a q section can well afford so

hundred miitions and perhaps their lives, in

war. New York City. which deals more
largely in the products of slave labor than any,
or all other cities in the world, and has an in
terest which directly affects almost every yo-
ier's pocket in her corporate limits, will give a
majority of fifty thousand against LincolD.-
So we see the Almighty dollar North and the
Almighty Niger South, combine their might

single exception referred to, nominations are
made and the candidates Of the party regu-
larly in the field. That it is not 80 in this
county is because a few assume the authority
to say tcho shall and teho shall not run, and
thus ticket is seemingly made up of volun-

The news from Europe is again
highly important. Garibaldi has in
vaded the Italian Peninsula and is
carrying everything before him. The
people are for him, and the soldiers
opposed to him inefficient and the
probability is that by this time Bonn
ba, .Jr., has fled from Naples, and that
the Dictator and Liberator of South
ern Italy, is. deliherating as to the
direction in which the sword of rev.
olution shall next be turned. The
fact Of this wonderful success of Gar
ibaldi brings forward some most IN
teresting and Important problems for
solution. Perhaps the: most immedi-
ate of these is in respect to Rome
and the Pope. Garibaldi will be viii
ling to leave to the Pope all the spir-
itlal power he may claim, but his
temporalities must be reduced to a
very small compass. The French ar
nv in Rome is stumbling block
Napoleon has been anxious to remove
it, but there it is. The probability is
Garibaldi must be content for the
present to leave the Eternal city in
the hands of the Pope. Some time
will be required after disposing of
the Bourhons, to organize the rerolu-
tionized kingdom, and prepare the for
ces in hand for the next step. The
policy of Garibaldi, with respect tie
annexation to Piedmont, is a topic
fruitful of speculation, and pregnant
with great events. The drift of af-
fairs is to the drawing of the sword
of revolution upon Austria, by an in
surrection IN Hungary, coupled with
an assault upon the army of occupa-
ton of Fenetia.

and most appropriately too, for she is the only
one in the Union that has not at some time or

Letters from Rutan state that Wal
