he was most able to treat.

nifty to vote. You see then without further
assignment of causes how Illinois has swung
from her moorings, and is now drifting to
seattle sport of winds and waves.
The troops l mentioned in my last as be-
ing encamped here Lave all left for the war,
and are now in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Our own c)unty regiment, the 74th, Col
Marsh, had at last dates arrived at Nashville,
in the army of Gen Rosecranz, Qate Buel's. }
They had seen pretty hard service in the way
of marching and bivouacking; but had not
yet come in contact with the enemy. Iu-
portant events are daily looked foc in that
quarter.
Your Detroit correspondent has, no doubt,
given the true explanation of the disorderly
conduct at camp Douglas, Chicago, of certain
troops, in which portions of the Vermont 9th
were implicated. see by late papers from
that city that Peter Brady, Thomas O'Brien
and John McMann of that regiment, together
with others belonging to New York and
Ohio regiments, have Just been sent to Joliet
peuitentiary, by sentence of court martial for
participation in those disorders.
Since writing the foregoing, l have seen
and conve:sed with one of our citizens, who
held an official position at camp Douglas at
the time of the troubles, and who would be
likely to be we'll informed in respect to oc-
currences there, and he insists that there was
no just ground Of complaint Of the nature al
luded to by your Detroit correspondent. He
insists that part of the barracks, into which
the riotous men were put, were new, and had
never been occupied by the secesh, and that
the others had been thoroughly cleaned and
whitewashed.
The weather here this fall has been pleasant
for the most part, and favorable for out door
occupations. We have had two or three
slight flurries of snow, but not enough to
cover the ground. This is singular, mas
much as they have had several inches Of snow
in Eastern Virginia, Washington, Tennessee
and Kentucky, and in Missouri.

q A we'll known planter living not far
from New Orleans, wrote last spring that four
of his slaves, who had run away to the Yam

Of liberty and were gla to come back But
in his next letter to the North he told a
different tale. The four had run away again,
and had taken with them 200 more. Indeed,
the planter suspected that the four had come
back with this only object-and he guessed
correctly.

The n. Y. Tribune holds up to view two
pictures. They are not pictures drawn from
the imagination of the artist, but photo
graphs-representation, as they exist in re-
ality. One is the vote in the townships in
St. Lawrence Co., n. Y. every one of which
-2s in all-gare majority for Wadsworth
at the late election-the msjorities ranging
from $50 down to a, according TO popula-
tion in the several towns. The Wadsworth
majority for the county was over 5000. ST.
Lawrence Co. as all know, is occupied a.
most entirely by substantial farmers, an IN
telligent and orderly people, who live by
their virtues and not by their vices. This Is
one picture. The other comprises 30 cleo
ton districts in the City Of New York, con-
tanning in all about the same num:er of in
habltants as ST. Lawrence Co., but notori-
Gus as haunts of persons who live by vice
and not by virtue. These 30 election dis
tricis, according to the police books, contain
2,1I3 groggeries, 30 brothel,, l,o places of
notorious resort for thieves and ruffians, 105
policy shops, with gambling and dance houses
to match In every one of these districts
the majority for Seymoa: was enormous; in
some he received an almost unanimous vote,
and the 50 districts gave the Seymour ticket
a majority of lO,asl, equal to its majority

A HARD FIGHT BETWEEN Man AND
HoRsE.-The Norfolk Keformer relates the
following singular occurrence as having ia
ken place in the town of Walsingham, Cana
da: "Mr Abram Brandow had very mar
row escape one day last week from being
killed by horse. He went into field to
catch his horse, and as soon as he got near
the animal it pitched at him in determined
and savage manner, biting Brandow fearfu,ly.
Brandow is strong, able man and good
horseman, and he fought the horse as long
as he could with the bride, but finding that
it did not heed that weapon, he threw his
arms around the horses neck and his feet
around its fore-legs. While in this position.
he threw the horse down. This. of course
broke his hold, and the horse soon got up
again and continued the fight with renewed
severity. Finally, Brandow threw himself
flat upon the ground, giving up all hope, the
horse continuing to bite him for some time
after he lay perfectly still. Even after the
animal had left and gone some distance. it re-
turned and bit Brandow several tines.
Strange to say, the horse did not strike or
attempt to stamp the man, but tried and did
kneel on him, as if trying to crush him with
his knees. Brandow had his clothes almost
entirely torn of, and from one Of his arms
! the flesh"
