4 Singular Prophecy.

We translate the following from the
Courier des Efdts RMS:
Although many of the predictions
made by Nostradamus Especially those
concerning the deaths OF Henry ". and
XVI have been completely verified, they
are generally discredited times But III
that Prophecies ct I,ahcinationS of that
great man, vol. "a edition 1000, we find
the following which would seem to de-
serve some attention:
49, About that time QS6D great quar-
rel and contest will arise in a country be-
yond the seas-America Many poor
devils will be hung and many poor wretch
Is killed by punishment other than the
cord. Upon my faith, you may believe
me. The war will not cease, for four
years, at which none should be astonished
or at all surprised, for there will Je no
want OF hatred and obstinacy in it. At
the end OF that time PROSTATE and almost
ruined, the people will re embrace each
other in great JOY and love.

atory OF the prophetic genius of Nostra-
damus, but IN 40 way consoling for Us

The County Fair.

Never was the County Fair held when
the signs on all sides looked so promising
but when the reality came so near being a
failure. The people were all right for
good fair, but the weather was adverse,
most decidedly. 1t rained little OH
Monday, which dampGaed the affair oh
Tuesday it sprinkled, more d"mphess--
Wednesday more rain and the thing be-
gan to get ret. and on Thursday-the big
dav-it poured and drowned the thing
pretty much out Yetthe display OF stock
was quite large, and of fruit the finest we
ever had Nor could fault be found with
the attendance. On Thursday, in spite OF
the rain and mud, there mu t have been
four or five thousand people on the ground
The best,-that is, Lady Equestrians, trot-
ting match, fire engines, Ae-,-were re-
served for yesterday, but it rained all
Thursday night and nearly all day yester-
day, so that the show was abandoned in
despair Nearly enough, however, We are
happy to learn, was realized to pay the
expenses and premiums. Tie show de-
signed for yesterday was postponed until
the the 18th, so that, should the day prove
favorable, there is little doubt the So
ciety will yet realize enough to meet lis
obligations.
We have taken notes, and intended to
give fullreport of the Fair to-day, but find
it impossible to get the premiums awarded,
and therefore defer the whole until our

FoEr MoyRo-THE FLEET, &c.

Everything is quiet at Fort Monroe. II
the rumored large fleet has sailed from
there for the Southern coast, few people
know it The Georgians and South Caro-
linians were terribly exercised few days
ago by a rumor that large feet had APP
peared opposite Fort Pulaski on their
colst and was bombarding the Fort at
Port Royal, but it needs Confirmation
The report of the taking o. Mississippi
City by orr blockading fleet also needs
confirmation. By a very bold stroke on
the part of the crew of the L. S frigate
Colorado, in Pensacola harbor, a couple of
privateers were seized and burned in that
vicinity two weeks ago New Orleans is
repres ented in a o,etenceless condition, and
reliable accounts from that quarter say a
moderate fleet with 10000 men, going by
way Of Lake Pouchartrain, could take the
city without difficulty.

can leaders, means no democratic party 1t
means that republicans, and republican
papers can discuss party measures and
carry them out in legislative acts; and
that democrats must keep mum, and if We
open our lips a paddock must be placed on
them When the republican partp through
its administration ceases to carry out Its
partzan policy,-when it ceases to apply
the knife Of lie political g"llohne| to all dem
ocrats, and ceases to advocate the most
dangerous political party questions that
ever agited the country, it will be time for
them to cry mo party.
Mr. PfeSidenn:-W hen we lopk over the
past history of our country and see that
the democratic party have had the control
of the government threetoutths OF the
time since the date OF the constitution {,
when we see thu democratic admlnlstra-
tons have conducted all our wars with
foreign nations, with honor and glory to
our common country; when we see that
all the acquisitions to our national terri
tory have been made under democratic
administrations; and that alp the great
measures advocated y the party had be-
come the settled policy of thel'nment, and
made our country the most prosperous and
happy nation ON the face of the globe
And when we see that the present I'M
natural civil war, which shakes our coun-
try from centre to circumference, spread
inn ruin from one extreme I'd the other,
has been caused by a departure from the
teachings OF the democratic party; and
when we believe and know that peace,
union, and harmony among the warning
elements can 1ieUer be restored by the
principles advocated by the republican
party and that if the organization of the
democratic party and its principles are
abandoned the days OF the republic will
be numbered, and its liberty and glory
will have departed forever. With all
these facts before our eyes can we aban-
don the democratic party and its prInci-
pies? No never For my own part
have fought in the ranks of the party and
stood by its principles from my boy hood,
through veal and through woe, through
good and through evil report, and | can
mott will not abandon them in my old
age.

LOOKING Al IKE.-The following incident
illustrates how DESTROYS the volunteers are
to obey orders, and the good result OF
their efforts:
q l suppose you will see that have
written moth ers letter with pecil, and
yours with pen and ink 1t is because we
have just had lot of penholders and
pens given us by the Government. We
have also had box and half Of shoe
backing given to each man. You will
remember that in my last lette or stated
that G. F.. one of the privates, had no
shoes. When the Colonel gave us the
backing, he said he wanted US to look as
much alike as possible. SO G. F. went to
work and BACKED his feet and polished
them and when the colonel came along
on dress parade, he asked f. why he did
that. He replied, To look as much alike
as possible The colenel burst out laugh
ing and went, after parade, to the store
and bought him pair of shoes with his
own money"

WE have fallen on strange times A
descendant of westinghouse near of

that great man-has been killed while
fighting in the rebel ranks and seeking to
overturn the Government which Wash
ington established Some may say that
they are not surprised at such termina-
ton of his life, for he drove hard bar
gain with those who sought to purchase
Mount Vernon and to dedicate it as
place where patriotism might visit and be
refreshed and sanctified. Another case is
scarcely less singular A son of Henry
Clay-a man who never breathed an un-
patriotic sentiment and never contemplat-
ed anything else than the perpetuity of
the Union of these States-that son has
been arrested, charged with being on his
way to the Confederate States, with a
view to take up arms against the United
States, and to destroy an Union which his
father had assisted SO vigorously to cement
together Two such cases of backsliding
are nowhere to be found In history, and

THE LATE RAILROAD MAssAcRE-A com
mittee Of practical mechanics, appointed
by the Chamber of Commerce OF Cincin-
natti to examine into and report the
cause of the late accident on the Ohio and
Mississippi railroad whereby a number of
soldiers were killed, have examined the
bridge that fell and arrived at an unani-
NOUS report. They state that after care
full examination of this bridge and OF others
built at the same time, and of the same
materials, they have concluded that the
accident was not occasioned by any insult
fic ency of timbers or iron work, but at
tribute the accident to q broken rail, found
at the west end of the bridge As the
locomotive and one car passed over safely
the latter car, as appears from marks upon
the timbers, misplaced the iron and cross
ties, which threw the remainder of the
ears from the track as they sntered the
bridge, thus prsci pitating them against the
truss and cords, breaking it down, and not
from any weakness or decay of the timber.

The "UniOn ConyentiOn,o

The socailed Union Convention" met
in this city on Tuesday, and made its
nominations We did not attend its sit
tings, nor have we been favored with q
copy of its proceedings, SO that we can
speak of it only from out door talk
There were. we learn, not over half a
dozen of democrats in it, so that it was
really, as we predicted it would be, only
Republican Convention under another
name. As such, the nominations were
certainly unexeeptionable Tho following
is the ticket:
For County Ja6ge-P. X. LELAyD
For County Citrt-lIERulx SILVER
For Co. 7rtasutr-tiEo. ). STEBBINs.
For Co .StTct3or-,ToEN GRAY
For ,Sstool CUUsHa;smgaer-lsAAC SToSD, ,Jr
Mr.. Leland is a democrat, but as he is
one of the best and most popular men in
the county, and the office has never been
regarded as a political one, his nominal
ton even by a republican convention,
seeing it may add strength to the ticket,
does not surprise us. Mr. Gray, also, is
said to be democrat, out, to judge from
the way the la Sale ,>tfn{ayd occasionally
talks about him, we should say not in
very good standing.
That the whole idea of Union or
ignoring of parties was abandoned by the
convention, is evident from the nominal
ton of Mr. SILVER for Clerk. His nomi-
nation was demanded of the republicans
by the Germans as the condition of tLeir
continuing to act with that party. OF
course, in a convention ignoring parties,
the making such claim would have been
the best possible reason for rejecting it
But being purely republican body, it
was bound to FIX up the family trouble.
We propose, of course with the balance
of our democratic friends, to look upon
these candidates as on level with all
others in the field If no volunteer can
didates present themselves WHOM we like
better, We may vote for some of til en-, or
we can stay from the polls There need
be no fear however, of Il lack of candi-
dates. There will be others quite as good
as the above in the field, and scouting as
we do this whole humbug business of a
republican convention presenting us a
ticket under the maine of Union" we
shall try to fill our ticket with list of
genuine independent Peoples candidates
