COMMERCIAL ALLEY.-We call the
attention Of the City authorities to the preca-
rious condition Of this Alley. Mud abounds
therein to an unlimited extent. If fire
be impossible. We are told by the Chief Engi.
neer. to get the engine out. This is very
serious matter, and demands prompt attention.
Some Of the enterprising property holders
there have constructed . plank side walk on
the north eide, which makes it passable TO
footnen, but other wise it is . bottomless pit
Of mud. The Alley should be gravelled in .
substantial manner. We hope it will not be
delayed. as there may be good deal depend.
Ing upon the repairing Of that thoroughfare.

DEMOCRATIC VIcroRY IN DUBUQUE.
The Democracy Of Dubuque. at the election
on Monday. completely routed the Republican
candidates. horse. foot and dragoons-electing
every officer In the city from Mayor down,
without . single exception, by majorities
ranging from three to Eve hundred. We
should judge it was one Of the most complete
victories Of the season-at least 1t was Just
such as We are bearing Of in all the municipal
elections Throughout the North. vest.
The ball is rolling onward, and is every day
gathering force upon force. Let those who
don't want to get hurt stanj out OF the way.
To attempt to control the Democratic elements
and keep them sui ject 10 Abolition ,ule, is an
exploded humbug.

\ lad of less than sixteen, named Darling,
from Pittsfeld, Mass, recently enlisted in
Captain Cromwcll's company in tire North
ern Black Horse Cavalry. On learning that
he had sick mother at home, who was
sadly afflicted ut his departure, the Captain
discharged the youngster and sent him
home, as the brave lad supposed on fur
Tough. He has received the following ac-
acknowledgement of his kindness from the sis
ter of the bold soldier boy 1t is good:
PlrrsrKLD, Mass, Oct. 20.
Cart, CROMWELL - Dear Sir - My broth
cr, David IL. Darling a lad of sixteen, left
home and Joined your command withCat the
consent or even the knowledge of our par
ents. went from school to see him last
Thursday, and stated these facts to your
Second Lieutenant Our young soldier 1e-
turned homo Friday, on furiough, as he
supposed, and seeing the effect of his con-
duct upon my mother and sick sister, gave
his consent to remain. But he is very much
afraid YOU will think that he did not give
YOU his promise to return in good faith, or,
to Use his own term, that he has backed
out; - so he made mc promise before re-
turned that would explain it to yor.
This, them "is to certify gentlemen,
that the young Darling aforesaid has not
| ahatcd his desire in the least degree to serve
his country under your especial guidance,
although he has consented to devote him
self in the more humble capacity of staying
at home and minding his mother. Having
reached the advanced age of sixteen, he
possesses the strength of Hercules, the sa-
gacity of Tclemoque Aguliers bravery, and
| the patriotism of Washington, whom you
have probably heard mentioned before.
| Would that he could add to these a few of Me-
thuscluh's supertluous years; for youth,
though no crime, is very inconvenient in his
CASE. OF COURSE the advancement of the
! Black Horse Cavalry is materially retarded
and its glory dimincd for "a season but
wherever you are at the end of two years,
he is determined 10 join you. II thou
wouldst take ME in his place, should be
very happy to go. ! believe not only in
this war but ighting i'll general, and think
that if womcu We're permitted to use the
knock down argument it would civilize
not only their mutual relations, but also
their treatment of your much-abuscd sex.
Meantime, awaiting thy orders,
| am respectfully thine,
JENSIE DARLING.

this over to your 2d Lieutenant j. d.

Fanaticisn.

FRIEND BAILEY We hear a great deal these
days about abolition fanaticism. In reply, it is
easy TO be seen that there are ten afflicted with that
kind of fanatcism now in Wood county, to one, ten
years ago, and the prospect is, that there will be
ten, ten years hence, where is now. If the
working of better principles into people or local
ity, is index Of fanacism, the more their social
constitution can endure, the better it is for them.
If the promotion Of schools religious worship, and
the denunciaon of slavery, with all its attendant
horrors, is finaticism, the world is growing more
full of that ism every day. No man can help see
ing this if he is governed more by what he feeds
his soul with, than what he sacrifices to personal
comfort, and the greatest wonder is, that we have
so many well informed persons, reaping tho bche-
fits of liberal educationj and free Institutions, who
do not seem TO appreciate their privileges, appar-
emily from fear of offending an institution that
serves onyi or more, to pamper the physical sppe-
tte than to establish truth hence tending to reduce
to materialism that which should give life and true
energy to people. Then every man that does
anything to clear the religious political or social at
mosphere of place or people, or abolish wrong is
an aboliGonst or fanatic, We would hardly ad-
NIT that the breeze that cleanses the atmosphere
breathe, by which our physical systems are braced
and purified, was composed Of fanatieism, yet it
abolshes the matter taken into the stomach which
cannot be converted into pure blood, and by the as
sistance of the various organs, expels everything
unwholesomc from the physical man. So does de-
votional sentiment abolish from the soul of man,
the baser thoughts and desires, and implants in
stead desires to inform others if il is likely To be
received by them, whether they receive il OF
not by offering, feel thatour duty is discharged
and we at least are free In these times when the
great work of reform, aud cause of true christian
liberty is going forward, who does not feel anxious
to have part to act somewhere, let his efforts be
called by what name they may, If he 10 but an Il
ponent Of truth there is nothing 10 fear, II mai
