The Election.

Though We have not complete returns
as to the vote in the different towns on
Tuesday, enough is known to warrant US
in saying that the Democratic candidate,
Ira W. Bird, has been chosen County
Judge by a majority Of from two to three
hundred. No other result could have rea-
aonably been expected. From the day he
was put IN nomination. we have regarded
his election as sure thing, for the reason
shat the Republicans were divided, and it
was found an impossibility to concentrate
the strength Of the party upon either of
Mr Birds competitors.
A New ARRANGMENT.-Tw new Judic-
ial Circuits have just been organized by
the Legislature, as follows:
The counties Of Crawford, Bad Ak, Mon
roe, Lacrosse, Jackson and Clark com

stitute the Eleventh Judicial Circuit.
The counties of Marquette, Wan
shara, Waupacca and Shawano com
prise the Seventh Circuit, and the remain
ing counties formerly in that circuit now
comprise the Twelfth Judicial Circuit.
The judges for these new Circuits are
TO be appointed by the Governor, and
will hold their Offices till January, 1868.

MONTGOMERY, April 2.-W. H. Wardd.
editor of the key Of the GMf has arrived
here from Pensacola He states that on
the 25th ultimo the steamer Gen. Rusk ar
rived at Key West with 200 troops tor that
place, and 100 for Tortugas.
The Crusader had reached Key West
under sealed orders, in charge Of Capt. Cra-
ven, with marines.
The Brooklyn was going into Key West
on the Goth ult. There was no doubt
that she had left troops at Fl Pickens.
The Texas commissioners stipulated that
the troops on the Gen. Rusk should be
landed at New York
The commanders Of three companies on
b ard the Gen. Rusk ha' Is gned document
generating Capt, Smith, of the Rusk,
from all blame for the deception practiced
Mr.. Ward further states that by an ar
rival at Key West on the 25th ult., it was
reported that the Spanish flag had been
hoisted at San Domingo by the Spanish and
French. The Spanish Pres. had previously
written to Havana, that if Spanish for
ces were not sert thither Immediately the
Spaniards would hoist the Spanish flag,
whereupon five Spanish war vessels and
1000 men sailed from Havana and took
formal possession of San Domingo, aided
BY French corvette.
Gen. Miramon, it is reported, was at
Havana endeavoring to raise a force for
the purpose of invading Mexico, and it was
said that the Spanish and French sympa-
thise with the movement.
1t was believed at Havana on the 25th
ult, that these governments would, by
squadrons, aid in the landing of even an
expedition. 1t was also affirmed at Ha-
vana that the English, French and Span
ish fleets had sailed for Vera Cruz. the
object of which is not publicly known.

The New General--E. Y. Sumner.

The telegraph brings the information
that Colonel Sumner has been promoted to
the Brigadiership made vacant by the ex-
pulsion of the traitor Twiggs. The fol-
lowing sketch of the life of this gallant
officer will be interesting to our readers
Edward V. Sumner was born in Boston,
Mass, but was resident of this State in
1919, when he was appointed second lieu
tenant in the Second Infantry. In 1888
be was made captain in the newly raised
First Regiment Of Dragons From 1919
to 1916 he was almost constantly engaged
in service on the western frontier, and in
the course of his many expeditions acquir-
ed an unparalleled knowledge of the habits,
character, and mode of warfare of the
predatory tribes east of the Rocky Noun
tains
When the Mexican war broke out he ac-
companied the expedition to New Mexico
as commander of his regiment, but being
promoted to the post of major of the Sec
ond Dragons, then in Mexico, he started
to join them. He was met at New Or
leans by an order from Gen. Scott assign
ing him to the command of the regiment
of Mounted Rifles. This selection, though
highly complimentary to Major Sumner,
involved an immense amount Of labor
The larger part of both officers and men
were entirely ignorant Of their profession.
but. thanks to the.skill and untiring ener-
gy of Major Sumner, they attained an ex-
cellence which made the corps one of the
most efficient in the army.
At the battle of Cerro Gordo, while
leading the rifles, he was wounded in the
he ad by musket ball, but in few days
was able to resume his duties In Puebla
he was appointed to the command of his
own regiment (the second Dragons. y
During the campaign in the valley of Mex
| leo he was constantly in the saddle, and
bore most conspicuous part. When the
battle of Cherebusco seemed to be going
! against our arms he led the rifles in
most gallant manner in an attack on the
enemy, which decided the fate Of the day.
After the war, Gen. Sumner was placed
in the command of the department. of New
Mexico, and at the formation of the four
new regiments authorized by Congress in
| 1855, he was appointed Colonel of the
First Cavalry, the position which he now
holds Some rivalry arose between this
regiment and the Second Dragons. of
which Gen. Harvey was the Colonel. The
humane service rendered by Gen. Sumner
during the Kansas troubles are we'll re-
mcmbered. His figure is as erect as ever,
and bis faculties, mental and physical, are
unimpaired-the result Of an active, tenn
p9rate life. He is an efficient officer, and
will beyond doubt fill his new post with

"THE Course OF TRUE LOVE-" &c.-A
Paris correspondent of the London Advertiser
writes as follows:
The wrongs and sorrows of Venice-how
long and sorrowful is the tale For how
much misery will Austria be responsible
how terrible an account will be called up
against her KaisOr when he shall be sum-
mOned to the tribunal where there is no ap-
peal Letters from Venice to-day speak of
the griec of the Venetians al the vandalism
Of their oppressors, who are now engaged in
piercing loopholes for musketry in the walls
of the time-honored palaces of the Doges.
When shall we see Benedek, like Marino
Faliero, decOLlGtus pro crimnibus? But a
sadder story has plunged Venice into more
than its wonted sorrow. A young Hunga-
rian noble, in an Austrian regiment, had
fallen violently in love with a beautiful
Venetian girl. They met frequently in So
ciety She returned his passion, told him
that she loved him, told him that she would
never marry another, but that she could
never marry him, an officer in an Austrian
regiment, while three of her brothers were
fighting for Italy. Vainly did the Hunga-
rian urge his suit earnestly did he entreat
a meeting. AT last the fair Venetian wrote
to him: "Have you sufficient courage to
kill me2 If you will consent will meet
you tonight But l will meet you on this
condition only, that you slay me, but respect
me. Should l receive no reply shall come
and know you have the courage l expect
from you"
The girl went forth that evening with a
bouquet Of snow-white blossoms in her
girdle. On the morrow, on the banks of the
Lagune, the officers sword and seabbard
were found, raised in the form of cross,
and in the stream below were found the
bodies Of the two lovers, closely locked in
each others arms. The white flowers were
still in the girls girdle, and the post-mortem
examination proved that her last wishes had
been respected.
