Ma. EDITOR We are highly gratitied at
the result of our State and county election.
That county union dodge, gotten up by dis
appointed republican Office seekers, did not
take as you said, The cat was too plain
ly seen" under that fair looking heap, to de-
ceve the mass and we were surprised that
prominent, patriotic Democrats, instead OF
boldly supporting the Republican nominees,
or making nominations OF their own should
compromise the confidence their fellow
followers had placed in them, by ANAL
gamating with those, who would belong to
any party, il they could have the places Of
cmolument One cannot form an exalted
opinion of the political actions of some OF
the Republicans who help make up and took
part in that Union meeting. Their petitions
for Office in caucuscs and conventions have
been inccssant, but the party not seeing fit
to place them in high places they grow rest
less and cast about them for some other
avneue to get before the people. If union
meeting had been called in season. signed
boldly by men possessing the confidence OF
both partes,-no doubt it would have
carried it's points as the general feeling OF
all now are,-it is no time now for issues
aside of Union.

have but little, and that consisting of few

SIR Il have to state for the information
Of the department that have taken valu-
able prize this morning, now called the SUI
san Jane, Of Nevis, West Indies. This
schooner was called the Cherries McGees,
when she cleared at Newburn, y C., two
days before the blockade went into effect on
this coast. She took y cargo Of turpentine
10 the West Indies, and at Nevis Island OBJ
tainc4 an English reg lister, but without n
bill Of sale or endorsement OF any kind on
the part of the master or agent, and with
out any other paper required under English
law. She sailed from Nevis to Halifax, No
va Scotia, aud there took on board an assor;-
ed cargo. consisting OF blankets, cloth, iron
steel, brogans, axes, &c, all of which were
purchased in New York and Boston, as ls
shown by he bills Of ladins, from different
leading houses in the cities.

on board the prize because he is an impor-
tant witness Of what occurred after we
boarded the schooner. This vessel, like the
three already captured, stood in under the
belief that the forts were still in the hands
Of the enemy.

The Republican Journal takes some
exceptions to our course in relation to the
Union movement here, and the remarks we
make upon the result Of that movement We
confess we have not very high opinion of
the Journals ideas of patriotism. 1t has
been in the market too often, and 81 bobin
round too long to have its example, or its
opinion on what does or what does not con-
siitate patriotism, of any real value Its
eensare, as a general thing, is no moro dam
aging than It's praise. One feels while read
ing the Journal that il it is all right to-day,
Tomorrow, it may be on ON opposite tack.
