in upon them, and every hour may be
looked to as the bearer Of tidings ofsueh
conflict as modern times las not Wit

The preparations on both sides are as
complete as military skill can MAX 9

OF the conspirators TO destroy the Gov

wiif fight for,their country-its honor
Its fag--its existence. and with these,

homes Of the world hang in the balance
on one side, and the necks of traitors,
whose arms are nerved by desperation
on the other. There will be no finch

The Election in Cincinnati,

On Monday last, resulted in the sue
cess Of the Union ticket, except the
Trustee of Water Works, and Clerk of
Police Court. o. z=.zs
The. greatest contest was on Jaa5e Of
the Superior Court. The Democracy
we're particularly anxious To defeat the
able and aprightsJ udge Storer. who was
a candidate for reelection For this
purpose they nominated T. c. Fare, the
head Of the Know Nothing party Of
Ohio, as his opponent. It did look a
little|queer TO see the Cincinnati E'uqui-
rcr calling upon.tle Irish and German
voters to rally to the support Of T. c.
Ware, in the name of Democracy! The
party screws were applied--thc grog-
shops literally patronized-the police
worked as only such a police can, and
with the high priest Of the K. \. s at the
head Of the ticket, it did look gloomy
for The Union men, and We confess the
result is a very asreeablesurprise. AL
though a local election, it had State,
and even National Importance.
3 The oniyregret is. that it does not, nf-
ter1all, give the real sentiments OF the
city. There are, doubtless, many Union
men at beart, who voted what the rebels
will claim as thrir ticket, merely because
it was labeled "Democratic" 1t re-
ccived, in this way, much larger vote
than could be had for naked secession.
The Southern leaders will point to it,
however, as the strength OF their friends:
and will thereby encourage their follow
ers to hold cut alittle longer, with the
expectation that the party may succeed
in the fall In this way, every Demo
cratic vote given in the North is, how
ever intended, used by the rebels to buoy
up their sinking hopes. They know
/ that such men as fallandigham are work
ing in their interest, and that they con-
troll the Democratic party AS now or
ganized. If the party succeeds in the
Free States, these men will be its lead
ers. In this is the last hope Of the cen
spirators.
Iii ie cad to know that thousands OF
men, loyal at heart, are SO attached to
party that they do not see the effect Of
their position. In this lies the danger
to our country. 1t does seem that u
moments calm reflection ought to con-
vince every true man Of his duty in this
matter.

GUNBoATs UNCoNsTITUrIoNAI.-A cores
pondent Joak''l of the Napa Reporter
thinks the secesh are at fault in not having
enumerated all the unconstitutional acts of
the Federal Government as for instance,
the use of gunboats. He says: - 1t is evi-
dent that the Union forces are violating the
Constitution whenever they use the gunboats.
The Constitution expressly declares that the
powers not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the
States, are reserved to the States respectively
or to the people, Now in the enumeration
of such powers. there is not one word about
gunboats-not even mentioning the name
Yet they are important powers. Clearly
their construction and use by the United
States Government is violation of the Con
stitution. This needs no argument; 1t is
so clear that it nscds only to be stated to be
convincing.

Jpn publishes the following extract of a let
from Joseph s. Watt, corporal in the

Tuesday I, with our regiment and
the division not on duty, witnessed a
interesting but very solemn ceremony
lat of disgracing captain publicly. 1t
pears at West Point, Va, Company l, OF
5 Thirty Fourth New York Volunteers. was
color company. and the discharged officer
was captain. The colonel wanted to assign
the colors to another company, and at dress
parade the captain refused to parade his
company, aad even stacked arms and told
the men to refuse to take them. He was ar.
rested and tried for mutiny, convicted and
would have been shot had not General Nc
Clellan committed his sentence.
G The ceremony took place in large field.
The regiments were formed in columns OF
divisions; each column was close to the
next, so that it made an unbroken 'front.'
They were then formed into hollow square
the commanders of regiments, brigades and
divisions and stats were in the centre. The
prisoner was brought under heavy guard

tire of the square. The prisoner stepped
two PAGES to the front of the guard; the of
ficer commanding the guard then came for;
ward and told the prisoner to take of his
hat He then read in loud voice, the charg-
es and specifications, and the sentence of the
court martial, was that his sEord be bro

graced before the division, and serve one
year in the District of Columbia Jail and
that it shall be disgraceful for any soldier of

MEPHITIs ANEFIcANA--l In a well written
article in the American Agriculturist, we
find the following in relation to the animal
whose name heads this article. 1t appears,
after all, that the skurk is more sinned
against than shining
You think at once his bad name, Of the
eggs he has stolen, of the setting hens and
turkeys he has broken up, of the roosts he
has invaded, and the breezes he has pollut-
ed Mr. Skunk is gnilty of some misde-
meanors, as all useful animals are: The cat
catches your chickens, the dog runs mad.ana
destroys man and beast with his virus, the
horse runs away, smashes the carriage and
breaks Your bones, the COW breaks down
your shrubbery with her wicked horns, and
the hogs get into the corn. They are very
good creatures in their place, not so good out
of it. The same can be said of our hero,
and the hem -roosts might have been made
proof against vermin, and the fowls might
have been confined to yard-to your rrott
as well as to the safety Of the eggs. If the
eggs were oat Of place the wandering ami
nal whose instinct prompts him to eat eggs
wherever he finds them, is hardly so much
to blame as the owner of the eggs, The eggs
which YOU have at loose ends are only a
fair compensation for his services. All sum
mer months long he roams your pasture at
night, picking up beetles ard grubs, poking
with his nose into potato hills where many
worms aro at work He is after the grubs,
not the tubers. lie takes possession of the
apartments Of the woodchuck, who has quar-
tered himself and family upon your clover
field or garden, and makes short work with
s,l ths domestic arrangements of that un-
mitgated nuisance. With this white back
ed sentinel around, you can grow clover in
peace, and the young turnips will flourish.
Your beans will not be prematurely snap
ped, and your garden sauce will be free
from vermn. The most careless observation
of his habits shows that he lives almost ex-
clusively upon insects. While you sleep he
is busy doing your work, helping to destroy
your enemies. In any faraccount kept with
him the balance must be struck in his favor
Thus among the animals we often find
friends under the most unpromising appear
ances, and badly abused men are not un
frequently the benef .ctors of society.
