AN ECCENTRIC PHYSICIAN.

A friend relates for the Agrieulturist, the fol-
lowing anecdote Of a skillful physician, Dr. M.
-, who is still practising in Rhode Island
He had way Of doing things all his own, and
no one could tell beforehand, .'where he would
come out" On one occasion he was called to
perform very important surgical operation on
young man living in this country. Arriving
there he found collected a large number Of neigh
boring farmers and others, who had come from
curiosity to witness the operation. He observed
that the house was scantily furnished, and other
evidences of the poverty of the family were
apparent, and he inquired whether the mother,
widow, was ready to pay the $50 which he
should charge. She replied that she could not
at present, but he would do nothing until the
money was paid, and asked them if they could
not make up the amount. This was soon done,
but not without many comdemnations of tho
hardhearted doctor who however, paid no atten-
tion to the remarks, but Immediately went on
with his work which he performed successfully.
AS soon as it was over, he stepped up to the
mother, and remarking 'the boy will need some
things before he gets WE'LL" slipped the $50 in.
to her hand, and was off before he could hear
her thanks, or the loud praises of those who
had been just dsnouncing him as grasping
miser.

How Republican Voters are Made.

A few days before the late election gentle
man who resides in this city received q letter
from friend living in New Jersey. The writer
| stated that a lawsuit would bring him to town
in few days, and he would esteem it great
favor if his friend allowed him to stay at his
home. The writer was pious gentleman, and
urged as his reason for the request that city ho-
tells were places of known iniquity, and the
godly could not enter them without contamina-
tion. The gentleman replied to the letter, and,
asserting to the writer's request said he would
be most happy to receive him. On the Satur-
day before the election the visitor came, and at
the tea table led the religious services At night
before retiring he did the same, and again on
Sunday morning. He went with the children
to Sunday school,, and then attended church,
and on Sunday evening again performed the
religious services of the house, declaring that
he had never spent SO quiet and happy Sabbath.
On Monday he renewed his devotions, and on
Tuesday about noon, coming into the house he
said his lawsuit had been postponed and his pres
ence in the city was no longer needed. He would
therefore return home but as this life was short
and he had happy visit to his friend, he pro-
posed that they should again unite in prayers
before parting. This was done, and amid mu-
tual regrets the friend left.
A short time afterward two Of the neighbors
called at the house, and mentioning the pious
gentleman's name, inquired if he lived there.
Being told that he didnot, they said it was very
strange. That house had been given by the man
as his residence at the election poll when he
voted for Curtin on the previous Tuesday, and
two well known Republicans of the precinct
had vouched under oath for its truth. The story
was now out. The pious individual had come
to Philadelphia to make one of Curtin's major
ity here, and then, after invoking blessing u
pom it. had hastened back to his Jersey home to
teach his neighbors religion.-P Philadelphia Age.

Address of Hon. G. L. Vallandigham tt
the Ohio Democracy.

Democrats of Ohio: You have been beaten
by what means it is idle now to inquire. 1t is
enough that while tens of thousands of soldiers
were sent or kept within your State, or held
inactive in camp elsewhere to vote against you,
the Confederate enemy were marching uron the
capital Of your country. na.
You were beaten but a nobler battle for
Constitutional liberty and free popular govern
ment never was fought by any people. And
your unconquerable firmness and courage, even
in the midst of armed military force, secured
you those first Of freemen's rights-free speech
and a free ballot. The conspiracy Of the fifth
of May fell before you. BE not discouraged, /,
despair not of the Republic. Maintain your
rights; stand firm to your position; never yield
up your principles or your organization. Listen
not to any who would have you lower your
standard in the hour of defeat. No mellowing
of your opinions upon any question, even Of
policy, will avail anything to concilia.e your
political foes. They demanded nothing less than
an absolute surrender Of your principles and
your organization. Moreover, if there be any
hope for the Constitution or liberty it Is in the
Democratic party alone; and your fellow-citi-
zens, in a little while longer, will see it. Time
and events will force it upon all, except those
only who profit by the calamities Of their coun-
try.
! thank you, one and all, for your sympathies
and your suffrages Be assured that though in
exile for no offence but my political opinions
and the free expression of them to you in peace
able public assembly, you will find me ever
steadfast in those opinions, and true to the Con.
stitution and the State and country Of my birth.

s,... .,a. From the Age
HOW IT WAS DONE.

The official majority for Governor Curtir
will be considerable less than fifteen thousand
and from the admission Of the Administration
organs themselves, it is easily shown that major
ity was only obtained by grossly unfair means
A day or two before the election the New Yorl
Tribune predicted that the majority for Govern
or Curtin would be little over 1900
''Being just about the number of returned
soldiers, invaiids, &C.. who will be OH hand te
give him (Curtin) a lift at the polls"
Letters which we avepublished prove tina,
these soldiers, allowed to come home, were
pledged to vote the Republican ticket, and un-
doubtedly most Of them did so.--Rut other re-
cruits were obtained. The Washington Chron.
itie said-and its statement was corroborated
by the New York Tmes--that--
"The friends of Curtin and the Union who
have left this city and vicinity during the past
week or two, for the purpose of voting the u
MON ticket number over nine thousand, exclu-
sive of soldiers"

100000 More.

The following we adopt from the Hancocl
(O.) Courier:
The elections are over, and the President, tt
verify the assertions of Abolition politicians,
that the war was about closed and that all tha
was necessary to finish the work was to elect Cur.
tin and 10 more drafts would be necessary, hai
issued his proclamation, dated just four days al
ter the election, for only 100000 more men in
addition to those already called under former
drafts; Which, if not raised by voluntary en-
listments before the 5th Of January next, will
be drafted. 1t is confidently expected that all
those who voted for "Curtin, and vigorous
prosecution of the war;" will not hang back,
but at once come forwards and volunteer, to
make up Pennsylvania,s quota which will be
only about 10000 under this call. Forward
march, gentlemen No skulking, sneaking, or
hanging back. The President has performed
his part of the contract, by putting the draft
off till after the election, and even depleted the
armies by sending voters home to elect Curtin
and he now looks to you TO perform your part
In calling upon 'the good and loyal people
to lend their cheerful, willing and effective aid
to the measures and means adopted, with u
view to reinforce our victorious armies now in
the field" he addresses himself especially to you
who have all along claimed, and do now claim
to be the only ''good and loyal people" in the
country. He calls upon you and expects your
willing, cheerful and ef;ctiDe aid" What aid
can you render so effective rs to join the ranks
of the army? If you don't wish any longer to

Oh, God of Battles! once again
With banner, trump, AID drum,
And garments in Thy wine-press dyed,
10 give Thee thanks, we come.
No goats or bullocks, garianded,
Unto thine affairs go;
With brothers. blood, by brothers shed,o
Our glad libations flow.
From Pest.house and from dungeon foul,
Where, manned aud torn they die;
From CORY trench and charnel house,
Where, heap on heap, they lie;
In every grosn that yields soul,
Each shrek. heart that rends,
With every breath of tainted air,
Our homage, Lord, ascends.
We thank Thee for the sabre's cash,
The cannon's havoc wild i;
We bless Thee for the widows tearsr
The want that starves her child
We give Thee praise, that Thou hast lit
The torch, and famed the flame,
That lust and rapine hunt tLeir prey,
Kind Father, in Thy name!
That, for the songs OF idle Joy
False argels sang OF yore,
Thou sendest War on Earth i'll will
To men, toiever more
We know that wisdom, truth and right
To US and ours are given,
That Thou hast clothed US with toe wrath,
To do the work of Heaven;
We know that plains and cities waste
Are pleasant in Thine ewes
Thou lov'st hearthstone desolate,
Thou low a mourner's cries.
Let not our weakness fall below
The measure of Thy will,
Aud while the press bath wine to bleed,
Oh, tread it, with US, still
Teach US to hate-as Jesus taught
Fond fools, of yore, to love
Give us Thy vengeance as our own
Thy pity, hide abovel
Teach us 10 turn, with reeking hands,
The pages of Thy word,
And learn the blessed cuIses thera
On them that sheathe the sword.
Where'er we tread may deserts spIing.

And when the last red drop is shed,
