tugs were seen coming on toward
the Fort at fnll speed, and whe1
nearing The wharf, the radiant count

they brought was Of a most graf

All the rthworks at Craney Is

THE REsULTs OF EMANCIPATIoN.-
Toe questions connected with emancipa-
ton seem to be working themselves out
successfully in some instances, at least,
in Gen. Buffers department. A cor
respondent of the New York Times thus
shows how forced and uncompensated
labor was changed to voluntary and re-
munerative work in the case of the slaves
of Mannsell White. The writer says:
"One of the most interesting and sig
nifcant things in this connection, is the
fact that few days ago delegation Of
slaves belonging to Mannsell White, one
of the oldest and wealthiest planters of
the parish of St. Bernard, below the
city, called to see Gen. Shepley, and
asked, as citizens, for an audience of the
governor of the State. The request was
granted, and these men informed the
General that they came for freedom
they said their fellow servants in other
places we're all leaving their masters, and
that they wished also to improve their
condition, but that it was not clear to
them how was the best way to do so.--
They emphatically said, however, that
they did not intend to labor much if they
could help it, without remuneration, and
they concluded their requests and pro-
tests by asking that if they remained
peaceably at home they might have fair
wages secured to them for their services.
Gen. Shepley treated the matter with
great consideration, and after comforting
with Gen. Butler, permission was grant
ed to these men to make terms with their
master, who consented to have partner
in the transaction, and these men have
gone to work, not as slaves, but as hired
men,"

The ELEcTIoNs.-The recent cleo
tions in the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana, have resulted in large dem
ocratic gains in all of them. In Penn
sylvania they have a majority of one on
Joint ballot, and in the other two they
have a majority in both houses and a
majority of the congressman. They are
largely in the majority in Ohio, having
gained no less than 10000 on the popu-
lar vote over last year. This has a bad
look, but we have one crumb of comfort ::
vile Vallandigham is defeated.
Iowa has also held her election. The
republicans carry the state by 10000
majority, and elect all their congressman,
six in number. Not so bad after all.

FIRE IN COvENTRY.-The tannery
belonging to Mr.. b. F. Herbert in Coy
entry, was burned on Thursday morning
Of last week, between three and four
o'clock. There was large amount OF
leather consumed in it, aud the account
books were also considerably injured
They were only saved by falling into a
vat when the building fell in, and from
which they were f,hed out the next day
The loss will be about $1,000 Insured
for $1,000. 1t was without doubt the
work Of an incendiary.

has resigned on account of i'll health and
is at his home at Derby Line. He was

ing generals before the office was aboI-

and of the policy of using the slaves
against the enemy. Since his return he
has been appointed surgeon of tho 10th
