These precincts give Stanford 1857 votes;
Conness, ,225; Mcconnell, l,4Ol. There are
still nineteen precincts in the county to be
heard from, which will increase the vote about
1900, but they will not probably materially
change the proportion for the several candi-
dates, as given above.
NEVADA PRECINcT.-The election in this
town passed off quietly, as usual, there being
no disturbance or difficulty Of any kind worth
mentioning. The total number Of votes cast
was l ,3ll-being lI3 less than at the Presiden-
iial election last year. As soon as the polls
we're closed the vote for Governor was counted,
and the result will be found elsewhere. The
efforts Of the Breckinridgers and Republicans,
TO induce people to believe that the contest was
between Stanford and Mcconnell, we're in
measure successful, and for that reason quite
number of Union Democrats scratched COnness
and voted for one or the other Of the opposition
candidates, according TO their inclinations.
We Judge that McKibbin has run ahead Of his
ticket in this county, and perhaps throughout
the State but the ticket is too far behind to
render it possible that he can be elected. AT
noon, to-day, the election officers had compile
ted the counting of the Conness and McCon-
nell ticket, and it will probably take until to-
morrow afternoon to count the Stanford tickets.
PATRIOTIC FUND.-Afer about 500 votes
had been cast at the Nevada precinct, box,
for contributions to the patriotic fund, was put
up at the polls; and S74 81 was dropped there
IN during the remainder Of the day. We are
pleased To chronicle the fact, that one Of the
most liberal contributors to the fundw 10y
81 son Of Tennessee.
IIOMIclDE.-A difficulty occurred yesterday
evening, in saloon at North San Juan, be-
tween a man named Jack Pollard and another
named Jacoby, in which the former was shot
and instantly killed. Pollard was intoxicated
at the time, and is said to have been the ag-
gressor.
ACCIDENT.-Mr. Michael Conelly met with
n painful accident this morning, while at work
in his mining claims in Deer creek. He was
shoveling gravel into the sluices, above his
head, when the trussels gave way, and the box
&c falling on his arm dislocated the elbow-jOint
PBnsoNAL.-Thomas Hannah, ESQ.,, for
merly of this county, but now citizen of Ne
yada Territory, was in town yesterday evening.
He was candidate for the Council, at the late
election in that Territory, and we are pleased
90 learn that he was elected
DONATION FFsTIvAL.-We trust our rca-
ders will not forget, during these exciting times,
that the ladies of the Methodist church give a
donation festival tomorrow evening. Members
OF all political parties and religious creeds are
invited TO attend.
THERE was rumor in town. about noon to
day, that Democratic Constable had been
elected somewhere ON "the ridge" herePort,
however, was contradicted, and we await with
considerable anxiety for further adviceS.
JEWISH New YEAR.-To-day is the Jewish
New Year. The day is being celebrated byth
Israelites of Nevada, with the ceremonies pecu-
kar to their creed. The celebration will con-
tinue until tomorrow evening.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-09-05

WHAT THEY WILL EAT.-The 100000 men
ordered out by the Federal Government, will
require for single year, $4,000 barrels OF
pork, 10000 barrels Of beet, 200, 900 barrels
Of -four, 5000 bushels of beans; and for hor-
ses, 1870 900 tons of hay, and l0,250,OOO bush
els of oats-all Of which win cost not less than
$50, ,000, 900.

low the vote for Governor from all the precincts

going to press. We presume the entire Re-
publican county ticket is elected, though as far
as we have heard, the vote for the other candi-
,lates is below that Of Stanford:

such assignments, at the time of the execution
thereof, to be valid. should be filed with the

Clothing the TrOOps.

The new army clothing depot in Mr.. Corco-
rams Art Building, opposite the War Depart
ment, is now in full blast, and already the good
effects of having depot at the capital is no
ticed upon the troops. The soldiers now here
are already beginning to wear II uniformed ap.
pearancc, and the city now looks Ms if it had
the regular army quartercd in it, instead of
different uniformed regiments from all sections
of the North. Che men here, as fast us they
are organized into companies, are marched to
the depot and fitted out.
Among the recruits that have come to Wash.
ington rs individuals, or on their own indvid-
ual hook, have been Il few men who are phyS-
cally unable to perform military duty. These
men took advantage of the proc amation of the
Secretary of War to get Il free ride to Washing.
ton. But on arriving here, all recruits are sub.
iected to a medical examination, and all who do
not pass the test are unceremOniously rejected,
This is imperatively necessary. Otherwise the
ranks Of the army would be burdened with men
who would be Of no earthly Use. AS it is 1t
would be impossible to find a finer body OF men,
physically speaking, in the world, than those
composing the army Of the Potomac.

A mississippi Refugee-NarrOw Escap,
of n Union Man,

Yesterday morning, about IL O'Clock, man
named Lorenzo d. Patrick, Esq, arrived in this
city and had an interview with Mr.. +. W. Sew.
ard, Assistant Secretary of State. lie states
that, in 1858, he removed from New York TO
Pike county, Mississippi, and bought six hun.
dred and forty acres Of timbered land. A short
time after, he purchased steam saw.mill,
which he worked rogul ,rly for more tn IN three
years, in which time he amassed some consd.
cradle means.
In July last while attending to his daily avo.
cation IN the mill, an armed mob arrested him
as a prisoner, and took him some distance from
the mill, where II mob trial was hold. The
packed "iury" returned II verdict that he
should be given twenty.four hours 10 leave the
State. With this proposition Mr. Patrick refused
the value of his property. This band of ruf.
fans, finding that he persisted In treating their
verdict with contempt Il larger crowd waited
upon him, and told him that if he did not con
sent to leave, he would suffer the penalty by
being hung.
Mr.. p. demonstrated with this band of out.
laws on their 6endish designs, telling them he
had a right TO remain, and would not leave.
They then attempted to put their barbarous
and unchristian design into execution, by drag
ging him to tho woods, and placing tho moose
around his neck, and actually hung him with Il
rope, from the limb of tree, several feet from
the ground. Tn, cowardly usurpers of the
law, in attempting their dastardly design, did
not, in their hurry, adjust the moose properly,
and after letting him hang for several minutes.
still clamorng for his blood, they cut him down.
Though much exhausted, he was still sensible.
The rebels, discovering that life was not extinct,
again offered to him II chance to escape, by
leaving the State; which, this time he accepted.
With great deal of difficulty, he found his
way to the North, whore freedom still reigns,
and every man Is allowed to " sit under his own
vine and fig tree.'
He has just received letter from his wife,
now in ST. Louis, which VIC were allowed to
read. She states that after these iiends had
let him (Mr. P,) go, they came to his residence,
took her and tied her hands and feet together,
and shaved one side of her head. Some of the
party then proceeded to tear her clothes off,
sc 6 'g u, 'rpS snS
them to release her. She, at last, prevailed
on them to let her go; and, after numerous
hardshps, she at last reached ST. Louis, where
she now is, lying dangerously i'll.
Mr.. Patrick is about to start for st Louis to
see his wife, and expects to join Gen. Fremonts
division of the army.
