Ev The Charleston correspondent o!
the Mobile Tribune says: Several in
terest;ng experiments were made here
yesterday with tcrpedoes with gratifying
results In one case barrel was blown
out of the water to the height of two
hundred feet. The conclusion in the
city was tremendous. more like terrible
explosion than anything else. Another
highly interesting experiment has been
made with liquid Ere. The liquid was
thrown through hose and fire applied
at themuzzle. All the efforts of two OF
our BEST FIRE engines TO extinguish the
flames were utterly futile. The more
water thrown upon it seemed only to
make it burn more fercelv. Much is
expected from this discovery in certain
expeditions now contemplated.

In this district Mr.. Maynard will prob

is general confidence that he will make a

Ir tho second district, Thcs. Lauder is
the Union nominee. aud VIM. Hodges is

n good man, and we trust the Union men
will spare no pains TO elect him. The
vote ia that district will be clo.e.
In the third district, r. NJ. Sands, Of
Maiden Rock, is the Union nemince. and
S. 4. Green, Of the same place, is his
orponent. Mr.. Sands is man well
known in his district, and well qualified
for the .p!ace. Considerable esertion is
being nladc 70 defeat him, and we hope
the Union men will be equally Jealous in
his behalf. Let the aight ticket DC

The Duty Of Loyal Men.

There is little or no doubt of the sue
cess Of the Union Ticket in this State.-
The election of Judge LEWIS and bis as
sOciates on the ticket may be regarded as
foregone conclusion but this fact 10 10
wise releases any loyal man from tho du-
ty of earnestly working for their success.
L. is important that the Union majority
be SO emphatic rs to place tho real posi-
ton and sentiment of tho State beyond
all doubt. Let Wisconsin respond to
Ohio with triumphant voice. The issue
Is the same here rs there, though the
Copperhead leaders have not SO boldly
svowed it. On the one hand, is tie
party which upho!ds and strengthens the
Government in its PERIL the other,
is the party which hampers and opposes

side he will cast his vote and influence.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

There are bnt two county officers TO
elect this fall. the Clerk of the Board and
the School Superintendent.
For The former office John W. VIM
Is the Union nominee. Last year he
was unanimously elected to this place,
not dozen votes being cast against him.
At that time he was in tie East, and the
condition of his lee, (Which had been
hmputated) was such that he cauIi not
return in time TO qualify and take posses
sion of the office. tie has since returned,
aGJ without solicitation on his part, is
candidate to ill out the remainder of the
term for which he was elected last fail.
Mr. Winn is gentleman, has lecome q
cripple for lie in he service of MS coun.
try, and is competent TO discharge the
duties of the office. lie deserves TO be
elected without opposition.
His opponent is Milton ]. Paine Of
Maiden Rock. Mr.. Paine was presented
as q candidate for that Office in the
Union Convention, and the best men of
that portion Of ihc county endorsed him
rs competent. He was a soldier in the
Goth Wis, and in the battle of Prairie
Grove received flesh wound in the leg
which has not yet entirely healed. He
is Republican and was nominated by
the Democrats merely rs matter Of
policy. Mr.. Paine's best friends regret
his being candidate against Mr.. VIM,
and we hope he will yet withdraw.
Mr.. Chas. Thayer, the Union nominee
for School Superi ntendent is well known
in the ccanty as man Of scholarly at-
tainments and intellectual character. He
has filed tho Office Of Shoot Supt. in
Hudson with excellent success, and we
do not think lie has an equal in the
county in fitness for the position.
His opponent, Mr.. Hatch, has served
for one term. IN some places be has
given satisfaction, in others lie has not.
The ground OF oar opposition to him is,
i:ls: while IN no way superior TO the Un-
ion ucn,inee, he stopped TO personal DIS
honor in becoming candidate, as We
sufficiently explained last week. We
think Mr. Hatch deserves TO be beaten.
lie promised Mr.. l.. p. Davis to use his
influence for Mr.. Paine against JOHN
Vim IL he, Davis. woul! work for him
in the lower portion Of the county. This
was fair bargain, but Mr.. Hatch in
send!n. .ickets 70 the soldiers, neglected
to put Mr.. Paine's name in. We think
man who electioncers as sharp As this
for the Office OF School Superintendent,
wants it too bad.
Tho Union County Ticket is good
one. Let Union men give it hearty
support.
