WELL FooLED.-A gentleman from
Portland, who has conversed with Reed,
the commagder of the Southern privateer
Tacony, was told by him that had he
known the Chesapeake, he should not have
abandonded the cutter. He knew the
Forest City, and was confident he could
have disabled her before she could have
reached him. But the Chesapeake was so
black that when she shaped her course for
him he supposed her to be government
iron-clad and thought it was time to quit.

The Loyalty OF Vermont.
From The New York Times.


Nearly complete returns show that the
Union candidate for Governor Is elected by
about 2S.0 600 majority, that the Senate is
wholly Union, aud that the House will
show only seven COpperheads. This is a
noble record. Vermont is one Of the
smallest States in the Union, and, by rea-
son of its agricultural character, as well
as its distance, has a sIighter connection
with the South than almost any other
Yet no State has furnished so many SOL
diers in proportion to its yonng men,
None has treated its soldiers with such
liberality foF'it not only starts them with
a complete outfit in every needed comfort
and medicine, but has from the beginning
engaged TO give every man of them 81
a month during service, in addition TO the
Government pay. No soldiers have fought
with greater bravery. AVeFmOnt brigade
held the key of the position At Gettysburg,
and did more than any other body of men
to gain the triumph which decided the
fate Of the rebellion. To crown all, we
now have this crushing defeat of Copper
headism at the ballot box. Twenty-three
thousand in Vermont against this vile pest
is equivalent to majority of three hundred
thousand in New York-ealculating with
references to the difference in population.
When shall we come mp to that mark. All
honor, We say, to the sturdy little Green

.5s-Tpr DEAD CoME TO LlFE-AN IN


,.ars RAscAL.-About the 10th of July
,..,s case of drowning was reported near
w.aee down the river few miles. The
fortunate mans name was Cash. He
and companion had gone into the water
.oer dark, and as Cash never came out
.g.in. so far as his companion observed,
:, was believed that he had been seized
with cramp and had sunk to rise no
more.
This was not the case, however. His
drowning was all preconcerted sham
r,uobserved by his friend ne had floated
dowa the. river little way and got on
shore at point where he. had change of
tclo,hes hid, and having dressed himself
struck out North, travelling all night.
His family and friends for some time
uOurned him as dead, and for days after
bis supposed drowning a watch was kept
ior bis body, a coffin being on hands among
other preparations. Not great while ago,
however, his wife had reason to suspect
the movements Of a-young woman in the
peighborhood, named Sue Weir, with
whom Cash had been suspected of being
on criminal terms. Her movements grew
more and more supicious until at last Mrs.
Cash became satisfied that her husband
was not drowned, but that he was cores
pouding with Miss Weir. Accordingly she
set watch on the lady, and following her
10 Wheeling one day last week, overheard
her inquire at the Post Office for letter
addressed to "Miss Sue haywood" AS
this was not her name, she became satisfied
that it was the fictitious address by which
her husband was corresponding with Miss
Weir She was informed that Miss Weir
had inquired at Bellair for letter to the
same address. So well satisfied was she
II the correctness of her suspicious by
these circumstances that she yesterday,
along with her father, made application at
the Wheeling office for the letter for which
Miss Weir had inquired few days before,
and on opening it in the presence of witness
SEES found it to be as she suspected, letter
from her husband to Miss Weir. 1t was
found by the letter that Cash is drumming
on Lake Erie as a hand on steamboat,
and that he had arranged with Miss Weir
to come on this fall sometime and share
his bed and board. The whole letter, to-
gether with the whole transaction, mani
tested degree of heartless rascality not
OfIep met with. His wife is apparently
very proper woman, and by this misfortune
she is left with FIVE young children who are
worse than fatherless in the world.
