ABILENE is beautifully situated on q small
stream of clear running water, one mile north
Of the Smoky Hill River. near the geographical
centre of Dickinson county, and on the great
thorOughfare from the Missouri River to the
Gold Regions, New Mexico, and California. 1t
is the only town between Junction City and
Salina, and is located midway-being twenty
five miles from each. The country around
ABILENE is the most fertile and beautiful that
can be found in the State-its character being
an intermixture Of timber ard prairie, pecu-
harly adapted to agricultural purposes. The
fertility Of the soil, the excellence of the water,
the healthful,.ess of the location, and the ebun-
dance of timber and building one, are induce
merits Of no ordinary character; while in
addition, the rich mineral resources Of this
portion of the State, The Salt Springs, and
extensive Coal Fields west Of US on the Smoky
Hill, insuring the early completion of Rail
Road from the Missouri River, makes it one Of
the best natural business points in the State.
The town was laid out six months ago, since
which time over one hundred lots have been
sold, and it now contains a store, blacksmith
shop hotel, Post Office, and several families.

We have no words to express our profound
Joy and exultation at the result of the election
on Tuesday. Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana,
for yesrs groaning under the Abolition rule Of
Federal Despotism, has at last been redeemed
by the honest efforts OF the loyal and patriotic
Democracy. From this day forward, the rule
OF Sumner and Loyejoy ceases to Disgrace and
humiliste bleeding nation. From this day on
ward, an imbecie President will cease to hum.
BILE himself before The fanAtlcal beheass of Alb

chart of right and liberty, the habsas corpus,
will cease to be & mockery, and the voice OF
the people, as recently expressed In thunder
tones of condemnation against the corrupt par
ty in power, will be warning admonition to
President Lincoln not to usurp the power
and right of FREQ people, merely to satiate
the inordinate vengeance OF such fanatics as
Charles Sumner aud Wendell Phillips. Let US
rejoice, Democrats, for once more the people
Can breathe free. Our blessed Union and our
sacred Constitution will yet be saved, and res
cued from the enemies of popular Government.

Hallelujah! The wisdom, the judgment, and

govern themselves-hss again been asserted In
the result of the recent elections In Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsy lvanis; and we have right to
shout Hallelujah! The people have engaged 10
O revolution which Ia TO work out their political
eslvatlon, and to bring back all the States to q
glorious Union-frst In discarding, as they are
now the faithless servants who have brought
these monstrous troubles upon the country, and
putting In their places men who will seek as-
siduously to aid the President In the adoption of
such measures as will insure the restoration of
peace aud the Union of the States.
No political revolution has ever been accom-.
plished under equally adverse circumstances,
and yet no revolution was ever more thorough and
astonishing than that which was achieved by the
people of Ohio and Indiana, and in all probability
Pennsylyapia, on Tuesday last. No army yet
marshaled In the field against the rebel hosts
could have hoped, in iIs most sanguine momente,
for so splendid victory; victory, too, achieved
without the loss of single life-Without any
extraordinary Observation-Disclosures the expen-
diture Of hundreds Of millions Of money-but
simply by the aid Of the ballot box-that mute
instrument to which we have been referred by
Gen. Mcclellan for the settlement of all our
political and sectional differences; and 10 which,
If Southern States and Southern Conerssemen
had been true to themselves and the Union, the
appeal would not have been in vain! The votes
Of the States last Tuesday show 1.-THE votes
to be given on the Alb Of November will confirm

spices never 70 backward!
All but four of the fanatlcal representatives
OF radical Abolitionlsn have been driven into

THE indianapolis Sentinel, referring to the
results of the recent election 10 that State,
confesses that the triumph, although achieved
under the Democratic Banner, and through the
Democratic organization, Is triumph Of the
conservatives over the radical elements--a tri-
umph of the principles embreced In the Crit
tepden resolutions over the radicalism involved
In the Abolition measures of the last session Of
Congress, and eliminating in the emancipa-
tion poclama!ion. p
We are willing to accept this as the basis Of
mutual congratulations, but we expect to see all
those Who claim to be victorious conservatives
yielding loyal support to the war and aiding
TO the extent of their energies In putting down
the rebellion. Wo can sustain the Govern.
ment of the United States and the administra-
ton of q constitutionaly elected President
without committing ourselves to the support Of
all the acts Of the Executive. We have the
right, and shall claim the exercise of the right
to differ Oh collateral points 80 long as we are
enrnest In our'ehorts to crush the giant treason
Oh the Confederate States. To accomplish this,
no efforts must be relaxed, no half way policy
pursued, no factlous opposItion permitted, and
no attempts to embarrsss the administration
for Interior party advantages, must for one
moment receive the sympathy Of the loyal con-
servatives. All such conduct must be LETT, as
We are sure II will be left, and as 1t has been
left mainly heretofore, to those headlong radi-
Gals who blsxon themselves the exclusive
friends Of the President. II Louisville Journal.

or replied, accepting the resignation, and re-
turaing the compliment BY putting the Doctor.
The correspondence was deemed to bo OF so
much importance, that IL Was furnished to the

resigned, on account OF the delicate health OF

Thu election.

Although the election returns will doubtless
be much modified by the official count from
that which has been published, 1t seems Ger
tain, nevertheless, that the Democratic ticket

DemocratIc s,aIe Ticket Elscted.

1t is now conceded on all hands that the
Democratic State ticket is elected by small
majority. It can not be less than i 900, we
think, and may reach, or even exceed, 5000.
Considering the extraordinary efforts made by
the Abolitionis.s to carry Pennsylvania, the
vast amount Of money expended, and the CO.
ercive means resorted to, we may well be proud
of the triumph achieved, although the major
ity is not as large as that given by our Demo-
cratic brethren in the Buckeye and Hoosier
States. We have beaten the enemy in what he
considered his stronghold, where he anticipated
q crushing majority, and therefore we have O
right to rejoice. .-Harri'burg Patriot and
