Gases Of Hopeful Converslon.

A day or two after the election leading
copperhead in Brooklyn was accosted by a
strong Union man with the inquiry what he
thought of the result. The reply ran some
what in this fashion:
"Sr, l hare been opposed to the Admin
istration, but this verdict of the people Of
the state of New York, approving SO unmis
takably the course of the government, con-
vinces me that opposition is useless; l bow
to the will of the majority"
Another case of similar character is re-
ported. A merchant yhosis said to have
made large sums of money by the Mata-
moros trade was so astonished by the re-
turns on Wednesday that he frankly avow-
ed to friend that it was just possible that
he had made some mistake. "Do you
know" observed this honest man, "that |
generally think 1 am right in all do; but
somehow / begin to fear that l have. been
in errorl The government, after all, has
done pretty well and the people seem to
like it."
Moro important than either of these is the
case ofan eminent lawyer of this city who
went to Washington strongly and almost
bitterly conservative" but who was so i'm
pressed by the honesty and ability of Mr..
Lincoln that he now openly proclaims his
support of the Administration. nv YPost.

The infamous and outrageous treatment
of Union prisoners by the rebel authorities
is shown by the return of lSo paroled pris-
oners in dying condition from starvation.
Many of them were reduced to skeletons by
the barbarous and inhuman treatment to
which they had been subjected by those who
boasted before the world of their superior
civilization" Savages were never known
to treat prisoners with such utter barbarism.
1t makes the blood boil to know that our
brave boys are subjected to such inhuman
treatment; and we can only hope that day
of reckoning will come when those rebel
brutes, now in authority, can be made to
feel the punishment due to their disgrace
ful cruelty.

THE RUSSIAN GUNBoAT FLEET.-The
Paris correspondence of the London Times,
(0ct. 49, says:
The France states that the Russian Ad.
miralty are at present building two hundred
gunboats, plated with iron, on new mod
el. They are not to draw more than four
feet six inches of water, and may consequent
ly serve in shallow places. Such boats arc
regarded by the Russian admirals as very
useful for the defence of Cronstadt, of which
the works are surrounded by groups ofrocks
which render the approach very difficult fol
ships drawing much water.
The Russian government expects that
these gunboats may be launched before the
Baltic is frozen; and, as the arsenal at Cron
stadt is occupied with other works, order,
have been sent to private establishment
in Prussia for two hundred guns capable oI
throwing shot of one hundred pounds weight
to arm the boats.

Beautiful ABLEGoRY.---The late John
j. Crittenden, of Kentucky, was at one time
engaged in defending man who had been
indicted for capital offence. After an elab-
crate and powerful defense, he closed his ef-
fort by the following striking and beauti-
ful allegory:
"When God in his eternal counsel con-
ceived tho thought of mans creation, he
called to him the three ministers whe wait
constantly upon the throne-Justice, Truth
and Mercy-and thus addressed them
Shall we make man?' Then said Justice
% God make him not, for be will trample
upon thy laws Truth made an answer al
so: % God, make him not, for he will pol
lutte thy sanctuaries.' But Mercy, drop
ping down upon her knees, and looking
through her tears, exclaimed; % Lord,
make him, will watch over him with my
caro- through all tho dark paths he may have
to read.'-Then God made man and said
to him: 20 man, thou art the child of Mer-
cy; 60 and deal with thy brother"
The jury, when he had finished, were
drowned in tears, and against evidence and
what must have been their own convictions,
brought in verdict of not guilty

The number of colored troops actually un-

learn from correspondent who has made
thorough investigation of the matter, is
over twenty thousand. General Gilmore
has large brigade Of colored men on Nor
ris Island, and there are few colored regi-

tion, here and there in the Northern States,
and the District Of Columbia. The whole

The Nashville Journal says: "There is

tho rebellious States. There is limit to
all human endurance, and surely neither
the negroes nor the nonslayeholding whites
will submit to be treated like brutes by their
tyrants many days longer. When We think
upon the unnumbered woes of our loyal
brethren in the South, the heaven-defying
crimes Of the rebels, and remember that
God is just, we are neither astonished nor
grieyod to think that tho rebellion has en-
tered the Sign Of the Scorpion, and that the
Scorpion is preparing to sting himself to
death.

Governor Yates, of Illinois, has issued a
stirring proclamation calling for volunteers
under the Presidents last call. He pays
this tribute to the gallantry of the soldiers
of Illinois:
"Better, braver more uuselish and patri

ners of their country into conflict. On eve
ry battlefield they have illustrated their de-
votion to their country, their pride Of their
state. and their attachment to the homes

Tho recent virginia Campaign.

A correspondentofth Richmond E'nquir-
er, writing from Bristoc Station, Oct. Is,
says:
1t is certainly true that Meade has mana
ged his retreat most orderly, and that be has
saved his stores, and lost but few men.
Though think it equally true that the Yam
kee army is considerably scared.
Our boys have been sadly disappointed
in their expectations of captures, and from
more than one of them you can hear such
an expression as this: IfJackson had been
along, we would have gotten everything we
wanted. Alas we have no jackson now,
Our boys, however, make the Yankees
whom they capture, pull off their shoes
which they at once convert to their own use.

The principal submits of the White
Mountains are now covered with snow, which
extends several miles down their sides.
The houses on Mount Washington were
abandoned for the season last week. The
snow was a foot deep near the buildings,
and three miles below the summit it was
eight inches deep. Persons who ascended
the mountain after the first fall of snow, says
the Boston Transcript, were richly repaid
by the magnificent views obtained, and the
strange contrast between tho winter on the
summit and the autumn brilliancy of the
broad landscape.

Cure for Improving Nails.

1t is stated by a correspondent OF
the Medical and Surgical Journal, that
cauterization with hot talloW IS an
immediate cure for in-ingrowing nails.
He ssys:-"The patient on whom I
first tried this vas a young lady who
bad been unable to put on shoes for
several months, and decidedly the
worst l had ever seen. The disease
had been of long standing. The edge
of the nail was deeply undermined
the granulations formed a high ridge
partly covered with skin, and pus con-
stantly oozing from the root of the
nail; the whole toe was much swollen,
and extremely tender and painful.
Ny mode of proceeding was this {:
l put a very small piece oftallow in a
spoon and heated it over a lamp un-
til it became very hot, and dropped
two or three drops between the nail
and granulations, The effect was
magical. Pain and tenderness were
at once relieved, and IN a few days
the examinations were all gone, the
diseased parts dry and destitute of
feeling, and the edge of the nail ex-
posed so as to admit of being pared
away without any inconvenience
The cure was complete, and the trou-
BILE never returned. / have tried this
repeatedly since, with the same salts
factory results. The operation causes
little if any pain, if the tallow is prop
erly heated.
