The Future of Democracy.

The Harrisburg Union, writing about
the whole State, after indicating that the
Legislature will probably be against the
Republicans, says:
"Whatever the political character Of the
Legislature may be, the result Of the cleo.
ton is gratifying and cheering to the De-
mocratic party. 1t shows thar the De.
mocracy is still living principle, dear to
the hearts of the people, and in spite of
defeat and disasters. that would have

1t 20 rise triumphant from the dust of de-
feat. The blow which it has struck is
encouraging to its friends, and confonpd-
ing to its enemies; and before another
year rolls around, it is destined to control
the politics of this Commonwealth, and
to sweep its mongrel Opponents into de-
served oblivion. This is no idle boast
no over sanguine anticipation. 1t is as
sure as anything in the future can be

The Democracy Uprising,

In view of the great change in popular
opinion in favor of the constitutional de-
mocra,ic party, as evidenced by the recent
State elections, the " Y. Journal of
Commerce says:
The Republicans have virtually dis
banded their forces, at least for the pres
ent; and the Democratic party, having in
every State taken strong ground in sup
port Of the Union, is enabled, by its an
cient prestige, to attract its former mem
bers, while it is recognized as representing
the conservative and anti abolitionist SEN
timent. No other organization exists to
which men of these sentiments can attach
themselves, and unless a new party is Gre
ated from the conservative wing of the
Republicans, it is not unlikely that the
old Democracy may again take the lead
in the country. Nor would It be surpris-
ing, since the old issues of slavery e1ten>
sion are laid aside, to find that party uni
ting all conservative men As the frmest
of the present administration
in the prosecution of the war against all
sorts of enemies to the Union.

Election next Tuesday.

On Tuesday next the voters Of Wiscon,
ain will again be called upon 10 select their
Officers of State and County, and the Dem
ocratic portion of those voters have great
and important duty to perform on that
day. Every Democrat in the State-ev-
cry Democrat in Msnitowoc county-has
a vital interest as stake, which must oil
that day be settled at the ballot. box
Fusionism and its old ally, Know Moth
ingsm, with all their ro;tenness and cor
ruption, will have advocates who will re
sort to anything-no matter how mean
and deceptive-to carry their point. Dem>
ocrats, on the other hand, have their cher
ished and time honored principles to be
fought for-principles, which, until the
advent of false Repubicauism into power,
had carried our country to position
higher than any on earth.
Are our Democratic friends aware Of
the unholy and INSCRIPTIONS means which
the fusionists are using in this contest p
Less than four days are left, and we ap-
peal to them in the name Of our glorious
party to improve the time. II our party
is properly orgenized-if every Democrat
feels the Importance Of the eleetion-and
will perform his duty to his party and his
State, We have no fears for the result.
May We not confidently ask every Dem
ocrat in Nanitowoc, to assist in redeemi e
our county and State from the hands of
the enemies Of the interests of the people.

Particulars of the Naval Engagement
near New Orleans.

Washington, Oct. %.
Commodore McBean's dispatches are
received at the Navy Department.
Capt. Pope, of the Richmond, reports
that the hole made in her by the ram, was
two feet below the water line, and FIVE in
ches in circumference.
At the first alarm the crew coolly re-
paired to quarters, and as the ram passed
abreast the Richmond, the entire port bat
terry was discharged at her, with what
effect it was impossible to discover in the
darkness. A red light was shown as a
signal of danger and the squadron was
under weigh in very few minutes, the
Richmond covering The retreat The
Preble went over the bar, while the Vim
eennes and Richmond grounded.
The enemy were now coming down the
river with FIVE steamers.
The rebels commenced firing at US,
while we returned the fire from our port
battery and rifed gun on the poop-our
shots, however falling short, while theirs
burst on all sides Of us, and several passed
directly over the ship.
Commodore Handy, of the Vincennes
mistaking my signal to the ships outside
the bar to get under weigh, for a signal
for him to abandon his ship, came on
board the Richmond with all his officer:
and large number of his crew, the re
mainder having gone on board the Wa
terwitch. Capt. Handy, before leaving
lis ship, had placed lighted slow match
at the magazine. Having waited rea-
sonable time for an explosion, directed
Commodore Handy to return to his ship
his crew, to start his water, and, if ne
cessary, at his own request, to throw over
board the small guns, for the purpose Of
tightening his ship and to carry out his
kedge with cable to heave off by.
AT 10 a. m. the enemy ceased firing and
withdrew up the river.
Captain Pope reports the Richmond and
Vincennes both af1oat
| have received rifled cannon, and pla>
ced the 80 FOUNDER on the forecastle, and
the II FOUNDER on the poop. Could
have possibly managed this shi p any other
way than keeping her head up and down
the river, I would have stopped at Pilot
Town and given battle, bat this was found
hazardous, owing to her length.
Commander Alden of the South Caro-
lima, relates the capture Of the schooner
Ezlda, and the James H. Toome The
vessels contained from 1000 to 5000
guns. The cargo also embraced guam

A NATURAL BRIDdE IN WISCONSIN,
"A correspondent of Philadelphia paper.
writing from Pine River, Wisconsin, gives
the subjoined description of a natural
bridge discovered in that region:
At the mouth of the west branch of
Pine river 10 great curiosity-a natural
bridge, almost as wonderful as the ono
over Cedar Creek in Virginia. Here q
stream much larger than Cedar Creek 10
spanned by bridge of rock and earth,
the handiwork of nature herself. The
west branch of Pine river flows through a
most beautiful and fertile valley, eastward
until nears the main stream, when high
bluff seems to forbid the blending oftheir
waters. But "where there is will there
is way and the branch finds an open.
ing through the high bluff which skirts
the western shore of Pine river, and their
waters mingle and murmur on together
toward the great Father Of Rivers" Here
is a natural tunnel, from fifteen to twenty
feet wide and twelve feet high, right thro'
a rocky bill, whose altitude is so feet, and
covered over with tall pines and foliaged
down to both rivers with dense growth Of
evergreen. The bridge is wide enough for
three teams to drive abreast, and from its
location, | have no doubt but thorough.
fare will, at some future time, be estab-
lished along this romantic way. Sufficient
water passes under the bridge, even in tho
sultry month of July, to set rolling and
rumbling dozen of the largest mills in
the State.

Declination CT Mr.. Villas.

Mr.. Villas has instructed us to with
draw his name as candidate for Senator
for the reason that he believes the unex-
pired term belongs to Calumet county.
We regret this, as Mr.. ", would make an
excellent Senator, and his personal popu-
larity among the people would ensure bis
election without fail.

School Superintendent.

Mr.. VASVALKESBURGH is every way
qualified to make good Superintendent
OF Schools, and should be supported by
every Democrat. We trust that bis name
will not be erased from single ticket.
His opponent, Mr.. BoRcHERDr. may be
a good military man, but be lacks that
tact and business capacity which is neces-
sary for the Office. As proof of this, he
has for several months been recruiting for
the army. and we have yet TO learn tina, he
has raised Corporal's guard. We have
no ill-wil to Capt. b., and our objections
to him are entirely ftsm want of conf
dencs in hi. fitness for the position.

CHASGING THEIR NAME-The Republi-
cans of tits County and State have dis.
banded their organization, and changed
their name The Press and Nevs says
the cognomen they have adhered to for
the first six years has become synonymous
with fanatcism and disunion, and dsa-
greeably odious. In nearly every other
State the Republican organization itself
has surrendered before the advancing wave
of popular reprobation, and is virtually
defunct. So great is the fear of this re-
action in Wisconsin, that the Republican
Secessionists have been obliged to attempt
the perpetuation of their power by the
nomination Of one or two Democrats
npon their State ticket. 1t is also now
quite certain, that not ballot will be
found at the polls a. the coming election
headed simply "Republican Ticket" The
regular Republican dose lie to be sweetened
by prefxes and affi1es. The friends Of
the Union should be on their guard
against these ancient e1pedients of the
enemy.

onel. From business engagements in an
active and lucrative law practice, the Col>

Colonel has been equally prominent: as
having been the first City Attorney elect
OF Milwaukee; a member of the constitu-
tional Convention, as also occesion ally of
the State Legislature, &c. His appoint
ment will give great popularity to the
project, and satisfaction to those intending

RAILROAD VorE IN MENAsHA.-We
learn by the Manufacturer, that vote
was'taken in Menasha on the 18th inst,
upon raising the sum ofTwelve Thousand
Dollars from the real estate owners of said
village, for the purpose of building bridges
and doing the necessary grading, to aid
the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
Company in altering the present route of
their road in the neighborhood of the
Neenah Station, so as to bring it through
the villages of Neenah and Menasha, hav~
ing Union Depot on the "Island," which
separates the two points of business, and
also side track leading along both water
powers, SO that the millers and manufac-
turers can send off their products from
their respective places of business, instead
of having to haul them by team, as now,
some distance, causing thereby great
loss of time and expense, all of which will
be obviated by the contemplated altera-
ton of the road. The project was car
rled by Leary unanimous vote.

coloration Of leaves Scientific men have
.ong understood tie matter, and have ex-
planned the ripening of the leaf as a sim.

the coloration of the leaves at maturity
can no more be accounted for than the
red of the rose, the blue of the violet. or
the orange of the lily. The color which
leaves assume in the fall is due the same
causes. But the popular idea that the
lraves are changed by the frost is SO firm
ly established in the minds of unscientiio
and unobseryant people, that it is diff.
cult to dispel. This year the foliage has
assumed the most gorgeous coloring with.
out any frost of importance, and, indeed,
seems to be more brilliant on account Of
its non appearance. This is perfectly ma

Col. BAKER-A writer in the Chicago
Journal says that Col. BAKER, who fell
at Edwards Ferry, came to this country
from England when but seven years old.
AT an early age he devoted his almost ex-
elusive attention to the study of the an
Gent and English classics, and possessing
wonderful memory, he soon became
thoroughly imbued with the spirit and
the language Of all the ancient as well as
modern poets, orators, and writer's, and in
his early youth won great distinction and
applause in the Southwest as Campbell
lite preacher. At the time of his death
he was U. S. Senator from California.

he says:
"There is no issue but this one great
test : Shall the Constitution be the SUI

that the Free States do not abrogate it by
abolition. Both are alike hereses to the

does not admit of doubt. Until it takes
place, we shall probably obtain very mea-
gre reports, if any at all, Of The movements
of the Union army, as the government will
not permit any news to be telegraphed
from Wisconsin which will enlighten the
rebels in regard to its designs, or enable
them to anticipate its movements, as they
have too frequently done In common
with all loyal citizens, we contemplate the
great event with undissembed anxiety
We still have confidence in our galan.
army, and faith in the God of battles
But we have learned from repeated disap-
poirtments rot 10 be over confident
The people are impatient of delay, and de-
mand that something decisive shall be
done, or at least attempted. We believe
that they are to be gratified: and that too,
within few days-possibly within few
hours. Truly, "these are the times that
