That the people may have an oppor-

vote cast in this county at the recent cleo
tion. We give the vote rolled in '60-'6l
-'62-'63.
Z In 1860, the vote at the Presidential
Election, being the largest vote ever given
in the county, up to that time, was 6535
In 1861 it was 6163
In 1862 it was 6142
In 1883 it was 6679
Now let any honest man take these fig
ures and examine them, without prejudice,
and We venture nothing when we say
that he will come to the conclusion that
there has been fraud OF no ordinary kind
perpetrated at the recent election. Take
the vote of 1860, which was 6525, and
compare it with the vote of this year
which is 6679-l54 more than the vote
of 1S60-and let it be remembered that
since the vote Of 1850 was given some

"The further from the point of danger

that fence post hole eau hardly be dug

The Terrible Losses OF the
War.

The following paragraph, which we
clip from the Washington Natioual IN
teltigencer tells the story of the war better
than anything we have seen. 1t says:
THE WOUNDED In OUR BATTLES"
I'VE have now in the United State at
least two hundred and thirty five hospi-
tails for the use of the soldiers; containing
about eighty thousand patients. To show
on what a large scale our battles have
been fought, as we do everything else, it
seems that during four months of 1862
there were treated at our urhospitals &c, $50
cases of gunshot wounds. The wounded
of the whole British Army in the Crimean
war was only little over 12,00Oand their
entire hospital accommodations in the
three years would not have sufi ed fo!
the wounded at either of the ba ties o.
IShroh, Antietam or Gettysburg.
