The Spring Elections.

The Spring elections for burough and
township officers throughout the greater
part OF the Stale, took place on Friday, and
far as we have been enaoled 10 learn, tho
Democracy has swept every veslage of
Black Republicanism before them. Even
in The very sirongholds of sec,ionalism has
the reaction been so great that the misera-
ble piunder- seeking party seemed terror
stricken al the verdict OF the ballot box
In the city OF Reading, where the opponents
OF Democracy have been ruling for years,
the Democratic Mayor is elected by a ma-
iority of ga, and The entire Council, with
three or four exceptions. In Harrisburg,
Norls;own and West Chester the victory
has been equally great But will this sig
nal rebuke soften the hearts of the rulers at
Washington and cause them 10 pursue a
peace policy! We fear not. Their hatred
10 the South aad her institutions is SO deep
seated that they are callous 10 public sen
tlmeni.

Will the Second Washington Back Down !

The city newspapers for the past two
days have been filed with exciting ru-
mors" from Washington, touching the eyac-
uation or Reinforcement OF Forts Sumper
and Pickens. Several Cabinet councils
have been held TO discuss the matter, and
the lasl report is that the United States Troops
triH be uithdrdWn from these Forts Ii is
given as a reason for this that Major Ander-
son is nearly out of provisions AID fuel, and
that he cannot be re enforced or provisioned
with less than ten thousand men, aud only
then a. a great sacrifice of human life
Whether the statements are ture or whether
they are only given as an excuse for the
Lincoln administration 10 come down grace
fully from their var position we do not
know. Who would have supposed a week
ago that the first movement in the inforce
ment of the laws under the Second Wash
ington's" administration, would be the
evacuation OF Fort Sumpter and the aban
donnent of that bit OF government: property
10 the rebels of South Carolina and her con-
federate Sla.e.9 No man could have
dreamed OF such thing. Mr.. Lincoln, in
his inaugural, however, left the back door
open, in his declaration that in the execu-
ton ol the laws he would have 10 act ac-
! cording TO circumstances"
There is world oil difference between
talking and acting II was an easy matter
! for our republican organs and indignant
! patriots to denounce MIR. Buchanan as a
| cow ard, traitor, iimid old dotard, an old
granny, afraid oi his own shadow, and 10
say that without difficulty he might have
thrown re-enforcemenls and supplies into
Fort Sumpter; that he ought to have done
il al all hazards and regardless OF costs. and
mat he ought 10 have arrested those South
Carolina treaty commissioners as traitors,
aud that "Honest Abe Lincoln" would soon
! make these traitors and rebels understand
that we have q government but Old Abe, =
when invested with the responsibility see ms
10 come pretty much the same way OF think
ing as ''OLD Buck" to wit, that " circum-
s,ancesn must be considered Hence, Mr.
Lincoln begins 10 suspect that his legacy o.
Fort Sumpler is not worth holding anc
that when piece OF federal property ha:
ceased to be of any earthly value 10 the
government, il is inexpeGient TO plunge IN
to civil war to retain it.-Easton Sentinel

YANKEE STRATAGEM.--During the
revolutionary war two brothers from
one Of the Eastern ports were comman-
ders of privateers; they cruised togeth-
er, and were eminently successful, do
ing great damage to the enemy and
making money for themselves. One
evening being in the latitude of the
shoals of ! lantuclset, but many miles
to the eastward of them, they esP pied
q large British vessel having the ap-
pearance of a merchantmen, and made
towards her: but to their astonishment,
found her to be fri gate in Disguise
4 very high breeze prevailing, they
hauled off in different directions. One
only could be pursued, and the frigate
gained rapidly on him. Finding that
he could not run away, the commander
had recourse to a stratagem.
On sudden he hauled in sail, and
all hands were employed with setting
poles, as if showing off a bank. The
people on board the frigate, amazed
at the supposed danger they had run,
and to save themselves from being
grounded, Immediately clawed off, and
left the more knowing Yankee ''to
make himself scarce" who, soon as
night made it prudent for him, hoisted
sail in sea two hundred f;athoms

A Story Of Gen. Mcclellan.

The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Inquirer, tells this
story Of General Nc Clellan.
General Mcclellan is in the habit
Of riding around occasionally in citi-
zen's dress, accompanied by few Of
his staff. A few days ago, he was
walking through one of the encamp-
ments, across the Potomac, and pass
ing the rear of the tents, he saw buck
ct Of coffee standing near a fire. He
asked what it was, and one of the SOL
diers said, Coffee" cit looks more
like slops," he replied. ooh" said
the soldier, cit is not fit to drink, but
we have to put up with it, and our
other food is not bill better" "Well,
whose fault is it?" he asked. ooh,
our Quartermaste is drunk most of the
time, and when he is not, he is study
ing how to cheat" Mcclellan passed
on, and seeing more evidence of The
dirty and slovenly manner in which the
Quartermaster conducted his opera
tions in his tent, he accosted him with
the remark that the men were com
planning Of bad treatment from him.
The Quartermaster flew into pas
sion, and swore that it was none of his
business, and he had better not come
sneakins around, trying to make mis-
chief.
Mcclellan answered him, telling him
he had better be cautious how he talk
ed. Quartermaster II replied, "who are
you, that you assume SO much apparent
authority % 81 am George B. Nc
Clellan, and you can pack up your
traps and leave % The Quartermas-
ter was struck dumb, and Mcclellan
turned and left him. That evening
the Quartermaster left to the tune Of
the 'fRogue's march," played by some
of the boys who had got wind of it
They now have Quartermaster who
does not get "drunk and cheat,;' and
that regiment would risk their lives at
the cannon's mouth for the man who
does care how the men are provided
for.
Tbs story has been circulated around
some of the camps, and the officers are
now always on the lookout for the Gen
eral, and of course do not have too
much lying around loose.

The cnair ruled Mr.. 3. out of order.
The convention then proceeded to
ballot for Superintendent with the fol-
lowing result:
j. L. Pickard, sc; McKindiey, so.
NJ. NJ. Strong spoke of bad faith
here.
Nh. Buttrick spoke of three or four
votes being given for ]. L. Pickard,
which were all rolled together, and he
thought it a suspicious circumstance to
say the least, lMr. E was one of the
tellers)
A motion to declare the nomination
Of Pickard unanimous was lost.
A formal ballot was then proceeded
with, with the following result:
McKindley, 81; Pickard, &c. Mr..
Mckindley was then declared unani-
mously nominated.
Mr. Blossom moved to reconsider the
vote by which Mr. Lewis was nominat-
ed, and wished to state the 'sgrievan-
cess OF some gentlemen from Milwau-
Observation-Disclosures Mr.. Page
was not nominated, whom he very
highly eulogized.
The chair decided the motion out of
order.
Mr.. McGregor, from the committee
on resolutions, submitted g series Of
resolutions, which were adopted a7en2
con.
Mr.. Pinney offered resolution to
appoint State Central Committee Of
nine, which was laid on the table.
The Pres iident was mpliimented by
his dignity and forbearance il: presid-
ing, when he briefly responded, and
the convention then adjourned.

How ToMwAs CAUGHT.-One Of our
young friends sends the following anec-
dote Of a Maryland lady and her negro
servant. The lady was unable to account
for the great consumption Of butter in
the family, and one day she followed a
new purchase to the kitchen, in time to
see the Cooks Tom deposit one of the
rolls in lat and put it on his head. With
out seeming to notice it, she sent the
cook, who was browning coffee over
the fire, on an errand, and desired Tom
to take her place Not suspecting the
object, he readily complied. Present
ly, as he stirred, violent perspiration
broke out on him.
"Stir away, Tom,'' said the lady,
& or the coffee will burn?"
sOh, missus," groaned Tom, "rse so
hot, sweat SOP
"Well you do sweat, that's a fact,
but stir away"
The persplration became too strong
for Toms control, and poured over his
face and eyes in streams. CatchiES a
smile on the lady's face he dropped the
spoon, exelaiming, sob, missus, I neber
do so again." and made dash for the
door. Tom was fully cured.

DOesticks on Shoddy.

Doesticks, who claims to be an Ellis
worth Zouave, thus narrates the expert
ence of his regiment afterreceiving their
uniforms from the Military Board:
"The uniforms sent from New York
were the trashiest things possible they
wouldn't stand the pressure. A gentle
wind would blow mans coat into rags
in half day while if he ventured out
Of aoogs in 3 stiff breeze his breeches
would tear out into long red flags, and
in ten seconds he would look like walk
ing flagstaff with signal set for "Nev-
er mind the Commodore, old fellow,
but sail in and fight on your own hook"
No man has whole suit Of clothes for
two months. We've gone guard dressed
only in ovcrcoat and musket, and we've
done scout duty in the easy and elegant
attire Of a revolver and one pair Of shoes
to three men. When we've wanted to
dress extra fine for sunday service, we'd
polish our muskets and tie red rag on
each leg. The Chaplin, for decency's
sake-when he preaches-stands in an
empty pork barrel to hide his legs.
l called on the Colonel yesterday,
dressed only in a bayonet; and that
considerate officer admired my airy cos
tom much, but said I'd better kill few
secehers, and when l bagged one Of my
own size, [ might help myself to his
brcehes. When our whole company
lately applied to him for clothes, he
said he hadn't got any for us, but he
served out fifteen rounds of balls cat
ridges to each, and gave us leave Of alb
sence for two Gays, and told us to bury
al! the sesehers we killed, SO as not to
lumber up TIE country. Most of the fell
lows got good SUITS Of clothes, and Bob
Brown was So jncommonly particular
that he didn't suit himself till be had
killed five fellows. With my usual luck,
I could not find fellow my size-they
were all too short or too long. When
at last I did find fellow five feet nine,
and had just got good aim on him, he
raised his head and disclosed the uh-
welcome fact that i was one Of our OWL
sergeants. Just my l4ek--he had on
q lovely suit of gray which would have
fitted me to hair, and if I'd been
half second quicker on the trigger I
could have had it, but / couldn't decent
ly shoot after I'd seen his face. How
ever, / got fair suit of blue cloth, and
Bob Brown is on the lookout to help
me better my condition. He wants to
find fellow five feet nine, rather slim
in the waist, and with new and well
fitting suit, army blue preferred.

enlistment Of volunteers, he was a Sc
cesher.
4th. # any man grumbled about the
taxes for the support of the Govern
ment. he was a secesher.

LOCAL MATTERS.

PINE STRgET BRIDGE.-We learn that the
Town Trustees have sent for Mr.. Hallidie, one
Of the parties who put in proposals for con-
structing the Pine street bridge, for the pur-
pose of closing contract for tine work. Ar
rangements have been made that will insure
the construction of the bridge. The total cost
Of the work will be 50 ,0OO; about half of this
amount has been collected ON the special tax,
$1,000, it is estimated, can be got Of the county,
being portion Of the road tax paid by citizens
Ofthis township, and the remainder has been
subscribed by parties living ON Plety Hill, and
others interested, The bridge is TO be wire
suspension, and durable. A dispatch was re-
ceiVed from Mr.. Halhdie yesterday evening.
stating that he would Immediately start for
Nevada to close the contract.
TOwN TRUsTEEs.-At a meeting Of the
Town Trustees, held yesterday evening-MeSsrs.
Kent, Hagadorn, and Monroe being present
the resignation Of J. Is. Moore as Treasurer,
~as presented and accepted. On motion,
Henry Mackie was appointed Treasurer, in
place of Moore, and it was ordered that the
bonds be fixed at FIVE thousand dollars. On
motion, the sum of fifty dollars was appropri-
Ated for the purchase OF the vacant ground be-
tween Wharenbys brick building and the Gas
Works, on the east side OF Main street, said
ground to be decided to the city and left open
For a street.
TELEGRAPH EXTENsIoN.-A project il on
foot for extending the telegraph line from Ne
vAda to Dutch Flat, by way Of Red bod and
Little York. 1t is proposed to raise money by
subscription in the three places sufficient to
construct the line, and when completed trans
fer it to the telegraph company, in cOnsidera-
ton of which the company are to establish
Offices at Dutch Flat and Red Dog and keep the
line in repair.
DsTRIBr JUDGBsHIP.-We believe it is
now generally admitted that the term for which
Judge Searls was elected expires about the first
VI October, and that McFarland's does not COM
,nence until the fist of January; consequently
there will be vacancy in the oihce for three
months, which the Governor is authorized to
NIL.
HABEAs CoRPUs.-The case OF Hee Kee,
the Chinaman committed to Jail for grand lar
ceny, was examined before Judge Belden to-
day. The petitioner was discharged ON account
Of some error in the commitment; but the
Judge, sitting as a committing magistrate, ex'
smined witnesses, and re-cOmmittcd him.
