by his geographical discoveries in and about

acknowledged that Schurz and his confreres,
by turning the German vote over to the repub-
licans, elected Lincoln. The heavy majorities
in the Western and Central States WERE IN
doubleday, owing to Germans, who had i'm
bibed the doctrines of the Massachusetts school
with an infusion Of sans-c,llotteisna, agrarian-
ism and red republication. So, it is only
fair, as Schurz Il Co. elected Lincoln,
making countless speeches in German and
English, and bearing the burthen and the
heat of the day, that they should have some
reward. Certainly we don't want Schurz here
any longer. He has done his work, such as it
is; SO let him 60 in peace to Sardinia or Salt
river, or any other agreeable place that the
government has at hand. Perhaps Schurz de-
sires to 60 to Italy in order to affiliate with his
red and black republican friend Joseph MAJ
zini, and give him State dinners a la George San
ders to Ledru Rollin and Victor Hugo. Well,
never mind, he cannot do any harm, and will
bother Stewards life out until he gets some
thing. Therefore we are surprised to find the
Premier's hand organ opposing the removal Of
the Germans to some distant cline. Bless them,
let them 60!

The New England Elections and Their
Effect.


Effect.
The New Hampshire election comes of
on Tuesday next, the 18th inst, at which
members Of Congress for that State are to be
chosen. The elections in Connecticut and
Rhode Island follow early next month, and it
is not too much to say that these are the most
| important elections which have ever occurred
since the Revolution of nc, because they are
| to decide whether the Union is to be preserved
or whether it is to be broken up. The repub
lican administration is doing nothing to say.
| the country from ruin. As far as its action
goes it must be considered to represent party
Of disunion-a party arrayed against the per-
petuity of the republic, and not in favor of 1t,
and there is, therefore, nothing to hope for but
in its defeat.
The result of the New England elections
may do much to secure this object 1t is not a
mere party question which is to be decided; it
is a question OF life or death to the Union. and
the issue is with the people. Yet the people in
New England do not seem to be prepared for
the struggle; they are only just waking up to
the importance Of the duty which devolves
upon them, but the politicians are all alive
and active. John Covode, of Pennsyl-
vania, and other republican agitators, are
stumping New Hampshire for their ticket,
and they will leave nothing undone be.
tween this and Tuesday to divert the popu-
lar mind from the true issue, and bind it with
the letters of party allegiance. The success of
faction will be placed above the safety of the
country; but we caution the voters of New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island to
remember that they have to decide between
the permanency and prosperity of the country
or its utter ruin. The New England elections,
and those which are to follow in the other
Northern States within the next twelve months,
will settle the question whether the border
States are to be driven out Of the Union and
the republic 60 to ruin or not; but If the peo-
pie can be made to realize their power and to
recognise their duty the republican party,
whose whole course Of action seems tending to
break up the confederacy, will be utterly
routed and smashed up in that time.
1t is evident that nothing of a pacificatory cha
racter is to be expected from the republican ad-
ministraton or the republican politicians; the
only hope for the country, then, lies in the de-
feat of the party, and the voters of New Eng
land, where remarkable reaction has already
taken place, may strike the first blow.

early all the region watered by the Patook
and Tinto rivers, from the sea coast inland for
two hundred miles, and Is estimated to cover
$4,000 square miles. There Is little doubt Of
the confirmation Of this grant to the British
holders, under the provisions of the convention
with Honduras. In this case we may expect to
see renewal of the attempt made some years
ago to colonize the district from Europe, this
time under better auspices and with better
success.
II may be observed, finally, regarding these
various conventions and treaties between Great
Britain and the Central American republics, that
she has consistently and in all of them inserted
provisions guarding their independence, and
in such form as to call for her Intervention
in case that Independence should be attacked.
In this, as in her convention with the United
States, known as the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
we discover purpose to restrain American
acquisitions to the southwark. This purpose
will now be pursued all the more steadily and
firmly, since it is only from the new Southern
confederacy that any encroachment in Mexico
and the Central American States is to be ap-
pretended. The history Of the last Walker
expedition shows sufficiently that her interview
ton will be swift and potent whenever the oc.
casion shall arise. And having completely set
tied her disputes with Central America, and re-
covered her ancient influence there by show,
at least, of magnanimity, the feeble republics Of
that country will not be slow to ask her aid in
their behalf, whenever an attempt shall be
made on their territorial integrity. These are
circumstances which the managers of the new
Southern confederation will not be able to dis
regard in framing their plans and fixing their
exterior policy.

tan Hercules Is quite fortunate; the winds aud
the rain both assist him. I'd he past few days
the winds have given the streets good sweeping
but destroyed thousands of dollars in dry goods
and yesterday the rain did its best towards
a wash. This is all very well; but the ladies,
the storekeepers and people generally COM
plain that the winds are not particular enough
where they deposit the dust they raise, and
that the rain, although IL removes great deal
of dirt, leaves plenty Of mud behind. SO We
have to look to our Hac1lcy, after all We

What il an Income Tax 2

The passage of the Direct Tax Bill, which
is provision for levying rate on incomes,
causes many to inquire what comes under
this head by law? The Evening Post says
that direct taxation is levied in part on prop
erty, and in part on incomes. Of course pro-
vision is made that no one shall be compelled
to pay twice. Those subject to the income
tax are all who receive regular wages or sala-
ries, all companies and corporate institutions
who have gains or profits derived from sources
not otherwise fixed by this act, and all who
have incomes derived "from any source Of
business, trade or avocation, dividends of
stocks, interest of money or debts, salaries,
annuities, or derived from any other sources
within or beyond the boundaries of the Unit
ed States" No such incomes are taxed If
they do not exceed $500 per annum after the
State tax and local taxes are paid and, of
course, business mans income is defined as
net profits after he has paid all labor accounts.

Paw Of Soldiers.

The New York papers differ in their con-
strucion of the law increasing the pay ofprl-
Yates and non-commissioned officers, major
ity claiming that the increase is four dollar
per month. The World of Friday last has
the following on the subject:
The pay of privates and non-commissioned
officers has been increased only i,Do dollars
per month, although It has been reported that
the increase was four dollars. The Senate did
pass bill adding the larger sum, and afte'
the bill had been amended by the House, thu
Senate concurred in the amendment, and thu
bill stood passed. Subsequently, however, or
motion of Mr.. Wilson, the Senate reconsideret
its action, and adopted new bill giving only
two dollars increase, and for lack Of time fol
any other course, the House concurred in tn
new bill, which received the Presidents ap

IMPROVED ARMY DIscIPLNE-We have the
most satisfactory and encouraging reports from
Washington relative to the discipline in the
army, under the management Of Gen. McClel-
Ian. A correspondent of the New York Post
writes -.sl.t . n
1t is impossible to drill troops in such wea-
Their as this, and am happy to say that the
commanding officers do not attempt it. except
in the cool Of the morning and evening. The
men are kept under strict discipline, and are
constantly ready, night as well as day, for an
attack upon our lines. That the discipline of
the army is getting to be wholesomely rigid,
no one can doubt who has an eye to our
streets. A Major General, was, the other day,
required to prove that he had a right to be
absent from his camp; and last night Col
onel, who refused to show his pass to de-
tachment of troops acting under the orders Of
the Provost Marshal, was very quickly requir-
ed by General Mansfield to comply with the
regulation Two or three Colonies here felt
exceedingly indignant because they were re-
| quired, like common soldiers, to show their
| written permit to come to the city. But a
| moments reflection convinces all honorable
men that if the good Of the army requires the
regulation, the only way to secure discipline
among the rank and file is for the officers tc
set them a good example, by Immediately
obeying their superiOrs.

capped from the South some time since, relates
the following:

God, we shall soon be in land where there

low summoned Vigilance Committee, and
the three Northern men were stripped and
whipped till their flesh hung in strips. Miss
G. was stripped to her waist, and thirteen lash

brave girl permitted no cry or tear to escape
her, but bit her lips through and through.
With head shaved, SCARED and disfgured
she was at length permitted to resume her

dorsement of his State bonds, to raise money
to equip his forthcoming regiments. ...,.

Prince Napoleon's experience at Manassas
was not such as to create very favorable

opinion of the rebel commanders he expressed
as follows: "Gen. Beauregard has very much
show and pomp, and many people are after
him with much noise. have not very high
appreciation of him as a military man, but he
is very much of a gentleman. Gen. Johnston
is very quiet and unassuming man, but

Terrific Storm at Chicago.

We learn from the Chicago Journal that
about o'clock Monday morning that city was
visited by severe storm Of wind and rain.
The wind blew terrific gale, shaking houses
to their very foundations, swapping off branch
es of trees like pipe-stems, and roofing up
poplars and other shade trees as though they
were playthings. The rain poured down in
perfect sheets, accompanied by the most ter
rife thunder and lightning. 1t seemed as if
the very windows of heaven were loosed, so
ncessant was the fall of rain. The lower part
of the city was completely flooded, and navi-
CATION from house to house went on briskly
just after the storm. The storm upon the
lake waxed with great fury. The bark NJ
cleus was reported lost, with her entire crew,
and the brig Geneva was in dangerous con-
dition No estimate is made Of the total loss
of property by the storm.

Hawkeys to have said that he could not re-

having exchanged the effete, dead circles IN
which he had lately lived, for the free, bracing
sentiment of the Northwest. Here was war,
war on principle, carried on with the energy
which was impossible where it was conducted

achievements, had oatlived his energies. Here
he could cry "on to Richmond" and not be
subjected to scorn for it. Here men did not
