WHAT Art THEYi-On Thursday evening
we observed the surface of the snow pretty gem
orally covered with singular sort of little worm
Of dark color, nearly black, about as thick as
a common knitting-needle, and measuring one
half to an inch in length. These worms 1--WE
know no other name by which to designate
them0 appear to be full of activity, creeping
over the snow with considerable rspidity, and
squirming about like other wor.ns. We hada
light fall Of rain on THURSDAY. and as these
worms were not observed prior to the shower it
is thought by some, with whom we have con-
versed, that they came down with the rain

ARIzoNA.-A correspondent OF the Bulle-
tin, writing from Tucson, Arizona, alludes
to the secession movement in that region,
spoken of in our last:
The people of this section, though generally
Southern in feeling, ore for the Union, provided
the differences that now agitate the country can
be honorably adjusted, and are adverse to form
ing any alliance with the Southern Confederacy
till all hope of settlement is abandoned. The
Americans in Mesilla Valley, on the Rio
Grande, are anxious to precipitate Arizona into
the Southern League; and it is is proposed to
hold Convention there on the 10th instant, to
take measures for annexing Arizona, either as
a sovereign State or Territory. The Pacific
slope of the Territory will not be represented.

feet to the Virginia Convention, urging
that State not to secede.
The Inaugural was at first looked upon
10 the South as meaning war, and great ex-
element was produced even among Union
men. But matters looked more quiet when

If it proves not to be coercive then the re-
suit is doubtful.

Southern gentleman that the Inaugural

Crittenden, in response to serenade,
urged his friends to stand by the Union.
The people alone, he said, can settle the

THE elections. !

The New York Journal Of Commerce, alluding
TO the late elections in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
Connecticut, says; "a n
On the whole, both Democrats and their op-
moments are surprised at this state OF things'
Ordinarily It might be supposed, and u was gen.
erslly expected, that the people, being 80 an
sorbed in the war, would vote the Union ticket
whose oply profession Of faith was 70 sustain
the war. The Democratic ticket was generally
subjected 20 the. charge OF treason, enmisy 70
the war, and sympathy with accession. That
this was impolitic,is is now manifest. Inc DEM
ocrats are everywhere pledged 10 hearty sup
port of the war, and the results oil these eiec'
lions indicate perennial vigor in the old party.
The Republicans have virtually disosnoeo
their forces, at least for the present; and the
Democratic party, having in every state taken
strong groand Ia, support of the Union, - enai
bled by its ancient prestige, to attract ts iormer
members, while it ia recognized as representing
the Conservative, anti-Abolitionist sentiment:
No other organization exists to which men Of
these sentiments can attach themaelyes, ano un-
less A new party Is created from the Conserva-
tive wing Of the Republicans, IL Is not Unlikely
that the old Democratic machine may again
take the lead in the country. Nor would lt De
surprisinp. since tho old issues OF Slavery-eA-
tension are laid aside, to find that party uniting

of the present Administration in the prosecution
of the war against all sorts OF enemies 70 tne

THE STATE ELEcrIoN.

Tho election is now past full two weeks, and
the returns are not all in by several coanties,
Enough is heard to settle ell questions as 70 the
State ticket, Tod and the "Union" candidates
are elected BY from $4,000 to 900 majority.
This Is an extraordinary result--not because OF
the large majority, but from the fact that 1t 10
an extraordinarily large majority upon q very
small vote, polled without spark Of entnusi-
asm on tho part of the people. The issue
made ND BY the politicians was manufactured
one, and 80 purely artificial as 70 DO virtually
no issue at all. There was but one side to it.
The people Of Ohio are for the Unlonj and u
was sheer nonsense to set them TO voting upon
IL. They were not accustomed 10 voting all TO-
eether, and from the force Of habit they. voted
much "A they had been accustomed to, ftwas
no time to organize new partyj and the peo'
ple have scarcely recognized the attempt
while they have not acted under. the Lew pro-
gramme with any. feeling OF interest. The
Democracy did not vote for Jewett any more
from spirit Of opposition to the Union than
thew voted for their State ticket last fall. Nor
were those who voted for Tod any more actu-
ated by devotion to the Union than they were
when they voted against one another year
AGO. The election ss it has resulted, is no In
dication whatever of devotion TO the Unions
becat,se Union men voted on opposite sides this
wear as they do at every State election, Inn.
portant issues were set aside, that might have
been settled now, and are postponed to disturb
us In the future. And this majority OF sixty
thousand might have been obtained Tor tne ne
publicans as for the "Union" party, which 10 in
effect nothing but the Republican party, robbed
Of its manhood and Of its power. y. .-,,s \
The result as TO the Legislature is not yet
known, though 1t is supposed to be "Union" 10
